Rev. Father Rouxcl, of New

iiiary-bishop to assist Mgr. Chap
pelle whose duties as apostolic del
egate to Cuba, Puerto Rico and
Philippines are SO onerous that the
Pope has chosen Father RouXel to
take charge of the diocese in the
absence of the archbishop. Mgr.
Rouxel was once located in Lafa-
yette and we are glad to learn of the
distinction conferred upon him.
His conservation will take place in

LOUISIANA INDUSTRIAL FAIR
AT
NEW ORLEANS.

One of the unique features which
will be shown as an attraction
during the approaching Fair will
be a herd of twenty-five trained
ponies which will dive from a
| twenty-five foot tower into a tank
of water. These little animals are
highly educated and in addition to
this daring feat are capable of per-
forming many other interesting
tricks which arc certain to excite
interest among the spectators.
DIR. V. K. Irion, chairman of the
Committee on Agriculture, Horti-
culture and immigration has in
hand plan looking to the estab-
lishment of I Flower Parade during
the Fair. This line of attraction
has proven eminently satisfactory
and highly interesting in other sec
tons of the country The parade
will include display of artificial
flowers along with natural varieties
and will afford opportunities for
the rare adornment of vehicle of
every description.
1t has been positively determin-
ed~that the general admission to
the Fair will be 25 cents for adults
and children alike. This will do
away with any misunderstanding
as TO ages of the young folks and
prevent complaints and heartburn
ings incidental to any attempt to
establish a hard and fast rule gov
erning the age limits.
Col. Boyd, in charge of the
State University OF Baton Rouge,
will very probably bring to New
Orleans trained corps of cadets
from that institution and the people
from all sections of the state will
be afforded an opportunity to judge
for themselves the advances made
in at least one branch of the state
University's curriculum.

Gil requesting our City Fathers
that an ordinance be enacted pre-
hibiting the various drummers who
from time to time visit Lafayette,
to sell mercantile goods from house
without a license.
The above business men asked
OF the City Council to be protected
in their legitimate business and
the Council abiding by their logi-
cal reasons enacted the ordinance.
1t may be said here that THE
ADVERTISER during the past year
had called the attention of the
municipal authorities upon this
great hardship on our local mer-
chants 1t is but fair and equita-
bic that our merchants who are

ceive full protection in their legiti-
mate business.

old Of the door exclaimed to her
in raising his arm "Well, bye,
bye. /" The woman answered in
the same way and in moving her
arm small 22 caliber carbine that
she was handling discharged its
contents. She was entirely uncon-
cerned about it. Carey said to
his friend II believe l am shot!''
Stop that foolishness, replied
Leben. But, sure | believe l am,
answered Carey and before any
assistance could be rendered he
sank to the ground and died a few
minutes later.
Coroner A. r. Trahan was at
once informed also deputy sheriff

The extravagant appropriations,
more than a billion and haf-made
by he Fifty Fifth Congress, now
happily dead, woulla few years ago
have been sufficient to drive any
political party from power. Oaly ten
wears ago billion dollar Congress
drove the republicans out and put the
democrats in. But it is easy to edu
cate men into not only condoning
public extravaganza, but irto COM
mendiug it, especially il some of the
money he speut i'll way to give them
some personal profit. The war j. the
excuse for the large total Of the APP
preparation. but 1t is not valid one,
and it sh 'uId be the duty of every
man opposed 10 public extravaganza
to ap point himself a committee of one,
to see that no nan with whom he
comes in contact shall accept that ex-
cuse for lack Of the actual facts. With
every appropriation connected with
the war deducted, the appropriation
made by the fifty-fifth Congress would
still be largely in excess Of those made
by any Congress in our history. Keep
this fact in your own mind and in the
minds of others, and Congress and
President may be elected next year to
check the era Of extravaganza into
which we have drif,cd.
