is not merely imaginary is evidenced
by the fact that in the present recon-
struction of the .city's affairs, calling
for an expenditure of many millions for
drainage, sewerage and other public
and hygienic works, this element has
taken prominent part.
With the completion of these won
derful improvements New Orleans will
unquestionably lose many of it's dis
tinctively characteristic features,
among them it's gutter-fushed and I'M
sanitary streets, it's historic cisterns
and primitive pavements, which it will
exchange for modern water supply,
healthful sewerage and years added TO
the life of each inhabitant. Up to the
present time the city has enjoyed the
uDenviable reputation of being the un-
healthiest of the important seaports in
the United States, has. suffered from
quarantine regulations which have di-
verified shipping, and has been Stunned
by tourists. In the future it will be

that q collection is to be taken for the
benefit of the cause Of religion, and
then passes his own hat about the

OF small coins at each performance.
Z There is no law to cover offenses of
this character. No state has enacted
legislation on the subject; and con-
gress has never taken up the matter.
But these catch-penny performances
in the guise of religion cannot go on
forever.
The Salvation Army does good work
in this city, and in other cities, because
it goes where the agents and agencies

CHARMS STILL IN USE.
So tho Credulous Patients
Thought.

We met a well-to-do farmer the other
day in Londonderry, who spoke with
regret of the illness of a well-known
landlord and magistrate in the county.
"The doctors are not able to do him
any good,' he remarked, ''but I know
a woman who has real cure for the
jaundice, an I'd get it an send it to her
ladyship (the inyalid's wife) if !

sit is, miss, and guide charm, too.
Sure, it cured a sister of my own.
Would her ladyship give in to it, do you
think?" .....,': .,..s.
II am sure she would not, Mr.. D..
But she would be grateful to you for
wishing to help her."
Zone of our laborers is laid up. on the
shelf at present, suffering from the
humps. A neighbor of his begged him
to try a cure which she has found most
efiicacious with her own children: @5
II put the donkey's branks on them
one after the other, an Mary took Joe
to the water an made him 60 down an
drink. Then she Brung him hame, an
he put the branks on her an led her to
the water, an you may take my word,
the swelling went down at oncet.' @
The ''branks'' means the donkey's
headstall, with or without winkers, to
which the reins are attached. To make
the cure effectual a. boy must be led by
girl and a girl by a boy u ga}8.
A cure widely used for whooping
cough, called by the country people
"chincough," is to pass the afflicted

every section of the city, earryin. good
ers for the cause which is so dear to
them. There is no collection taken up
at these public meetings.. There is no
SAVIOR of money-making to destroy the
genuine character of the efforts which
are made.
Then there is Gospel wagon which
is furnished by earnest young men and
women who belong to various churches.
This dissemination of light is also hon
est, genuine, and goes about doing
good. On Sunday afternoons and even
ings crowds gather in the byways and
highways, where the light of religion
never would penetrate but for these
kindly incursions. They come with
songs, prayers, thanksgivings, SER
mons, exhortations and solicitations
for good and true lives, with promises
and portents of benefits in the world
to come.
There is a venerable member of the
police force who, for many years, has
taken his stand in various public places
on Sunday afternoons preaching the
Gospel. On these occasions he appears
in citizens dress, and very few of his
hearers know that he has been one
of the guardians of the peace for almost
half a century. His meetings are well
attended, but he never takes up col
lection. He also is above criticism.
A black man, who says that he was
born in Africa but educated by mis-
sionary, is seen every Sunday after
noon in the sections densely populated
by negroes, singing the songs which
catch the fancy of his hearers, and
preaching to them in very intelligent
manner. He sings "Throw Out the Life
Line" when down by the navy yard;
and he sings the *'Wonderful Story Of
Love" in the alleys where crime is
known to abound. His voice is melodi-
Gus, appealing, thrilling. Many of his
hearers have learned his son s, and join
in the choruses. He never takes up a
collection.
The genuine, honest, sincere and ef-
fective workers in the cause of reli-
gion who go about among the masses
of all classes in public places singing
and preaching do not go as penny
catchers, and they reach those for
whom the Gospel seems to have been
intended. These peripatetic Gospel
chariot fellows, who manifestly are
working confidence games upon the
credulous in the guise of evangelism,
are disgracing eastern cities, and their
recent performances in this capital
have attracted such universal attention
and condemnation that it is simply a
question of time when the law will be
enacted which will enable the pro-
tectors of the people to drive them from
our streets, as the money changers
were once driven from the temple.

New Orleans certainly is sui generis.
There il no other city like it in the
world. It combines the customs Of an
era that has passed away in all other
American towns with a progressiveness
that is surprising the nation. It's popu-
lation, numbering 100000, is thorough
s1y cosmopolitan. Americans, Creoles,
Frenchmen, Germans, Italians, Span
iards and negroes live together in unity,
yet each nationality has it's special dis
trict or faubourg wherein it preserves
provisional customs, virtues and vices.
The Creoles, descendants of the early
French settlers who came to America
with Bienville some 200 years ago, are
the "oldest inhabitants" and have, with
characteristic tenacity, preserved the
manners and traditions of their fathers.
who. fleeing from religious and polit-
ical prosecutions, sought refuge in
Louisiana and contributed the most
romantic and interesting pages to the
history of the continent.
Not until very recently have the
scions of this proud and ancient race
consented to meet their American fell
low-citizens ON a social level; and
among the elders of the French colony
there still are scores who refuse to look
upon the yankees" as equals. The
younger generation, however, have out
grown the prejudice of their elders.
Intermarriages are frequent; and these
unions between Saxon and Gaul have
as rule, proved beneficial to both races
and called into being a new type OF
American-physically perfect, and

impulsiveness of the Frenchman with
the tenacity and all-conquering energy

dren out all winter. He had platform
also in the rear of his wagon; and dur
ing the evening performances his wife
played an organ and sang Gospel
hymns. The color of her skin shows
her mixed birth.
But that makes no difference. How
ever it may be elsewhere the writer
knows not, but here in the national cap
ital the negroes who have white blood
in their veins are proud of their mani
fest bar sinister. The colored girls
with light compilations have black men
for beaus, and take black men for hus-
bands. One of them explained this to-
the writer. saying: ''sBlack men bow
low to the white blood in my veins.
The young men who are as white as I
am believe they are as good as I am.
But the black fellows worship me for
my white blood, and hence I prefer
them. It is the same with all mulatto
girls. We are like white women, we
like to have admiration, even if it does
come from black men,"
The black preacher and his mulatto
wife stayed here four days and gath
cred many hundreds of pennies and
nickels from the colored population.
Then they drove over the aqueduct
bridge, and went into Virginia Where
they go next can be conjectured. The
peripatetic gospel chariot is the pre-
cursor of new style of gypsy for this
country. 49, ,.... ,a. =. tsa =.
After the departure of that chariot
there came into the streets Of George
town, which is now part of this cap
ital, a big brawny blacksmith-looking
fellow. He had good-sized wagon,
and an organ in it. But he had no wife,
no children and no assistants. He was
the whole show, the real thing, himself.
He never. knew how to sing, and yet he
lifts up voice which would make a
mule envious, and chants semblances
of Gospel tunes. He gathers crowds,
and then breaches to them. He is IL
literate,I but knows great deal about
the Bible. Of course his inform ton is
superficial, but he has read the Bible
or had it read to him, so that he can
make apt quotations. His uncultured
voice is strong and rasping. It roars
and reverberates down the street. He
talks earnestly, like sincere Salvation

HATS FOR CHILDREN.
Lassies' Headgear This

Of all the gay colors which fashion is
good enough to allow the children this
spring pink is first favorite. Deep rose
pink, the hue of the sunniest bud in the
garden, is the preferred shade.
And these pink hats and bonnets, like
nearly every dressy head covering for
children, are frilled and puffed exceed
ingly. So that whatsoever pretty faces
later come under them, those faces will
seem to be framed in swirls of pink.
Sometimes the entire brim of the hat is
finely plated taffeta silk four inches
deep. This is fastened only at the
crown, and the outer edge has will of
its own. Other brims are of straw OBJ
scured by several ruf1es, one over the
other, of pink chiffon.
And different sort in straw is COW
cred on the under side toward the face
with dozen wee rulings of pink silk
muslin. Crowns are oftenest in ample
Tam" shapes, of pink silk, or silk and
inserting, or natural straw. And the
choicest trimming is a big hemmed bow
of rose pink silk jauntily toward the
front. Some of these hats, even the
largest, have long strings of pink NOUS
seine de sole.
Other hats are all red from straw to
ribbon. Straws used for the best hats
are tuscan, leghorn, fine manila, satin
and an exquisite openwork sort, in blue
and pink, which suggested frost on the
window pane in its delicacy. Hats of
this ightness bear Innings and frills of
taffeta.
Pokes are in order for little folk. The
fancier the poke the better. An ex-
elusive design is of soft satin straw with
Tam crown and crinkled brim. A many
looped white satin ribbon bow fills in
between the crown and the brim crink-
lings. From the back there are long
white ribbon ends. Tiny steel buckles
hold in place some ends of ribbon ON
these modified pokes.
| Children's school hats are sturdy
sailors, especially in bright red and
navy blue. The reds have knots of red
ribbon and plenty of red quilts. The
blues, many of them with sugar-loaf
crown, are wreathed with field flowers.
