A Dangerous Desperate Killed.

Last month New Orleans was tn,
scene of much popular tumult anc
mob violence. In brief the story is;
Tuesday, July "a about 2 o'clock &
party OF four policemen ATTEMPTED to
arrest Robert Charles, a desperate
negro who had q few hours before shot
and wounded Policeman A. r. Mora.
The negro had sought refuge ia small
house fronting an alley leading from
Fourth street, between Rampant and
Saratoga streets, and as the squad OF
officers approached the place, the
desperate opened fire with q Winches-
ter rifle, almost instantly killing Capt.
John T. Day and patrolman Peter J.
Lamb. The other two officers, Ser
geant Aucoin and Corporal Trenchard,
sought safety in room adjoining that
in which Charles was concealed, and
there they remained until daylight,
exchanging occasional shots with their
dangerous neighbor, At daylight
search was made and the desperate
had fed. Intense excitement enaued
as news of the muder spread through
out the city, and at night mobs formed
and paraded the streets, attacking
negroes indiscriminately, killing four or
five, wounding nearly score, including
half a dozen whites, and looting sew
eral stores under pretense Of seeking
arms and ammunition. Friday after
noon about 3 o'clock a negro informed
the police that Charles was concealed
in the second story of house on Sara
toga street, near the corner of Clio.
Police and citizens surrounded the
place and finally succeeded in killing
the black fiend. bur not before his
deadly Winchester had taken the lives
of three more victims Police Sergeant
Gabriel Porteous, Andy Van Kuren and
Alfred j. Bloomfield fatally wounded
John R. Lally, danger ously
wounded E. H. Bette an old man
and Frank L.. Evans, ex-police-
man, and less seriously wounded A. S. !
Leclerc and George Lyons, The house
in which be had taken refuge was set
afre and the negro only came out when
the heat and smoke compelled him to
do 50. he was killed as he came down
the stairway, and the police had great
difficulty in preventing the enraged
from tearing the carcass to
pieces.

Too Much Turtle.

While out on his stock ranch look
ing after the cattle Thursday, S. e.
Renshaw's attention was attracted to
a large swelling on the jaw and throat
of one Of the steers. Friday morning
Mr.. Renshaw returned TO the pasture
and an investigation was made.
After a few minutes the cause Of the
ailment was discovered. In, some
manner while grazing the steer had
picked up atortise shell which became
lodged in his lower jaw, binding
under his teeth. The animal was
nearly exhaused and death would
soon have resulted il he had not been
elieved.--Jennings Times.

4 Sand W ell.

While J. F. Ritter & Co., were
sinking a deep well at Gueydan a few
days ago they entered 4 vein of sand
which kept up q flow lasting several
hours, during which time about three
car loads Of sand was brought to the
surface. An experiment to secure
such well will be commenced in a
few days on the brick yard premises
by the same company. Should the
adventure prove a success it will give
employment to several more men and
will no doubt greatly reduce the price
OF the much neeled article sand. =

HOW TO BECOME AN
EMOTIONAL ACTRESS
BY OLGA

If YOU are at all timid about your own
feelings, / mean, if you are afraid to use
the extent of natural impulse born IN
Won. there is every hope that you will
attain distinction in some otnef pfoleS-
sion than the stage.
The stage is no place for timid people.
I sometimes think that nerve is better
than talent; for it often seems to sue
coed quite as well.
l hope l have not misled you by say
ing too much about stage-art as against
the value of stage-heart.
Perhaps / ought not to say stage
heart. because actually there is no such
thing.
Our hearts are always that high court
to which we women appeal nearly all
our best impulses.
1 only used the term stage-heart TO
qualify the value of complete heart in
terest to the stage. And Just here let
me tell you there is a tremendous ego
tism about the stage. 1t is a mastertul,
commanding, eXorbitant credito" "e"
handing your body and sOui as ransom.
a pledge of your ambition to succeed.
Your bodily strength. your emotional
nature, all yOur passionate ana tender
impulses, all that you can love and all
that you can hate is absorbed by that
glittering temple OF the actors creed
the theater.
1t is not. in the sense that ladylike fic-
ton would describe it, a sweet home life.
IL is HOllldCic, IGSlLcSS, duAlouS, IN
soldierly in it's characteristic fighting
qualities.
So much of necessary warning to sus-
tain the purpose l wish these lessons to
convey. l want you to be quite sure that
you are competent to face the difficult
ties.
We have come to that point in these
educational talks which is most impor-
tant in a self-eXamination for admission
to the dramatic profession.
Have you emotional power?
Nearly every one has an emotion or
two that they are quite proud of. Near
ly every one avoids those emotions hat
an emotional actress is called upon to
impersonate.
The emotional motives of great TRACE
in ordinary lines. They are conceived by
men and women who have vigOr Of i'm
aginatiOn.
Emotional power, therefore, is not
merely a physical strength to sustain
the bodily tension of tragedy, but an u n
usual mental genius for Imagining situa-
tons. In fact, the most vital part. OF
emotional power is the imagination.
Emotional acting is the torture Of
spirit plunged into a four or five ac'
tragedy, to which is added physical en-
durance to survive he torture. Ora
matte situations that would kill two
thirds of the audiences were they to en-
counter them in life are the duties Sc
down for. an emotional actress.
Therefore the question to ask yourself
is. can you suffer the agony of Juliet
mind and heart as she should suffer il
the tomb scene without a complete col
lapse? Have you the physical natur
or the indomitable will to dismiss you
emotions when the play is oyer?
Can you violate your own intimat
standard of good morals by imperson
ating the character of a woman who's
nature has no parallel emotion in you

poise and passion?
Can you submit your soul to the con

Increased Volume of Trade with
Tropical Countries Under
Mckinley.

Two especial features of the growth
of our foreign commerce under Presi-
dent Mckinley have been the increase
in the importation Of tropical and sub
tropical products and the increase in
the expectations 10 those countries
which furnished those tropical and
sub-tropical products. The people of
the United States are spending mil
hon dollars a day for classes Of mer-
chandise which they cannot produce,
or at least are not at present produc-
ing in the United States. These in
clude coffee. raw silk. India rubber,
fibres. fruits and nuts, tobacco of
high grades. tea, gums, cocoa and
chocolate, spices. rice. cabinet woods,
dye woods. indigo and certain chem
icals. all Of them of tropical or sub
tropical production. This class of ar
ticles form a constantly-increasing
proportion of our imports, both be-
cause Of the increased demand through
our manufacturers and through an en-
larged consumption by the people and
also because of the reduced importa-
tion of manufactured goods. In 1895
the importations Of this class Of ar
ticles amounted 10 1915. sos. and in
the fiscal year 1860 amounted TO $751;
353.246. A large proportion of these
articles reach us from Asia and Ocean
Ia. The proportion Of our sugar i'm
ports which is furnished by the Ha-
waiian islands and the Dutch East In
dies is constantly increasing. while the
bulk of the raw silk, tea. Manila hemp,
jute, gums, spices. indigo and dye
woods come from the countries Of
Asia and Oceania. and the remaining
articles Of the list are furnished by
tropical and sub-tropical countries.

This beautiful thought had a ma ajority
in the convention that nominated Sey-

tion referred 10 was this:
Energetic Greenbacker opened the
talk by saying: Hello, you. here; don't
you think you want some more money?
Don't you think we all ought TO have
some more money!"
Second Citizen (speaking mildly
Well, yes. 1 think I'd like TO have some

VIOLENT OUTBREAK.


the htiifnE Ot toN. GoeDei.
Georgetown. Ky. October 10.-One
OF the most remarkable scenes ever
enacted i'm a Kentucky court occurred
last night in the trial OF Henry L..
Youtsey, charged with being a princi-
pal i'm the shooting OF Gov. Goebel, the
defendant himself being the chief par
ticipant. The court room was crowded
at the time and the excitement was in
tense. Dee Armstrong, the Louisville
detective. had just told of his talks
with Youtsey before and after his ar
rest Then Arthur Goebel was put ON
the stand and Judge Ben Williams,
who for the first time appeared for the
prosecutions did the questioning. Ar
thar Goebel said
81 talked with Youtsey the day he
was arrested late I'm the afternoon III
the iail i'm Frankfort In reference 10
the murder OF my brother Just AT
this point Youtsey arose behind his at
torneys and I'm a loud voice said: 1T
Is untrue: il is n lie; | never spoke a
word TO that man in my life nor he TO
me-"
Col Crawford told him to be quiet
and sit down and others took hold or
him.
II will not sit down. | never said a
word TO that man--it Is untrue He
was shouting 10y this time and every
one was becoming excited. Houtsey's
wife spraug to his side and while en-
deavoring 10 make him sit down could
be heard saying: "Now you have killed
my husband, | suppose you are salts
fled" Then YOutsey hysteriaclly shout
ed again: II am innocent-there is no
blood on my hands; these men are
swearing my life away" Two or three
deputy sheriffS went over and grabbed
him. He struggled wildly and said:
LET me alone will not sit down."
Arthur Goebel meanwhile sat sphinx
like i'm the witness chair and never
turned his head Finally after Yout
sey was forced into n seat he shouted
again: "Goebel is not dead-all the de-
mons in hell could not Kill him"
"Nlr. Sheriff if the defendant does
not behave himself put handouts on
him." said Judge Cantrill Meanwhile
the audience could not be forced TO
keep their seats until the judge
threatened 10 fine those who stood up.
Youtsey settled back in his chair.
closed his eyes and seemed in n state
of collapse. He waved his handker.
chief above his head In On aimless sort
Of way and groaned and cried hyster.
ically.
Finally quiet was restored and Judge
Williams asked Arthur Goebel another
question when Col Crawford asked
postponement Of the trial until to-day
on account of the defendants outbreak,
The request was granted.
Youtsey still occupied his chair with
his eyes closed apparently in half
fainting condition. After the crowd
went out Jailor Reed and deputies car.
ried Ioutsev TO the Jail. as he was un-
able to walk. Various reasons are as.
signed for his outbreak, the first be-
ing that his long confinement and
strain of the trial caused him TO be-
come hysterical and lose control over
himself. Another is that he is really
demented as shown by his remark that
Goebel was not dead. He is being at.
tended by physicians and relatives at
the jail and his condition is deemed
critical.
