Sounded Four Times in
Two Days.
Monday Nights fire destroys
two Stables.
With a Large Amount Of
Forage.
Firemen fought the Flames
With Commendable
Courage.

The sounding of the fire alarm
has again become a very frequent
occurrence.
On Sunday morning tiue In
the house occupied by Mr.. j. T..
ChaIsson. back of E. Dionne's Gro
Gerry store, caught fire. The flames
we're extlnguished befo re any dam
age was done.
On the same day little later a
hue IN the Masonic Hall building,
occupied by Mr.. JAS. A. Lee as a
drug store, caught fire. No damage
On Monday about 2 p. m. the
alarm was again sounded, the scene
of the fire being at small residence
on st. Peters street near the resi-
dence of Mayor John Broussard, A
piece of furniture In the house
caught fire, but the flames were
extinguished before any damage
was done. The fire companies res
ponded quickly, but were not need
ed.
On Monday evening last about
half past seven. the fire alarm
was again sounded, the confagra-
ton having started on Madison
street in stable building owned
by Mr.. Oscar Broussard, the dairy
man. The different fire companies
responded almost Immediately,
but those first upon the ground
were America No. 2. and the Vol
unteer Hook and Ladder Company
No. 2, to both of whom great credit
is due in having saved the adjoin-
ing property from a sure fate of
destruction.
The two stables of Mr.. BrOus-
sard's were totally destroyed to-
gether with a large quantity OF
hay stored therein.
The Olivier residence which was
in very close proximity to the fire,
was saved after very hard fighting
of the flames.
The cause of the fire is unknown,
but it Is not thought to have been
incendiary. No insurance.

COMMUNICATED
THE PELICAN BAND

God helps those who helps themselves
AS all know this, but few,
But heres to those who help another,
Pray? And God may help them too,
Friends are love when in great need,
Again I say tits true,
But think of those who needs your help
Pray and God may help them too.
We hope the Industrial School
Committee will think of the
courageous band of workers
HThe Pelican State Bando. This
Band was organized last May and
through hard work have won the
regulations of being one of the best
Bands in the state. They number
now 21 members who expect to
fill the city this summer with their
sweet music. They own the finest
instruments in the world. The en-
tire Pand owns his own horn which
is G G Conn's (of Elkart, Indiana)
best make. This firm makes the
finest instruments in the world.
have gained information from
one of the members, stating their
expenses since their organization
to be over sixteen hundred dollars,
Each one pays his own expense
monthly. Now we all remember
how they donated their services
for the Industrial School benefit,
walking in the dust for the Paper
Carnival the sun had the heat OF
cooking eggs, still they fought their
way playing, some forcing blood
through their mouth piece.
They donated their services for
the Jewish Fair, Firemen parade
and several other charitable pur-
poses which we should always re-
melnber, Therefore let us help
these faithful boys who are ever
ready to clleerfully donated their
services. Their expenses are great
and their help depends on us, there
fore we can not but help them.
| hope the Industrial School Com
mittee will give them justice.
A FRIEND OF THE BAND.
AS the Industrial School Board
has wound up S affairs and divid-
ed its money among other worthy
causes, we would suggest that the
Pelican Band appeal to some other
sourcefor aid. We are friends of the
Band and have mentioned them
elsewhere in this issue, appealing
at the same time to our citizens to
assist them in enabling them to
give summer evening entertain
ments. ED.

STATE NEWS.

An English paper gives a list or
what it terms ssthe fourteen mis-
takes of life., While there
are undoubtedly other mistakes
than those mentioned, the list is a
fairly comprehensive one.
1t is a great mistake to set up
our own standard Of right and
wrong, and judge people accord
ingly; to measure the enjoyment
of .otIlers by our own to expect
uniformity of opinion in this
world; to look for judgement and
experience in youth TO endeavor
to mould all dispositions alike; to
look for pereetion in our own
actions; to worry ourselves and
others with what cannot be re-
medied; not to yield in immaterial
matters: not to alleviate all that
needs alleyiation as far as lies IN
our power; not to make allowances
for the infrmities of others; to
consider everything impossible
that we cannot perform to believe
only what our finite minds can
grasp; to expect TO be able to nn-
derstand everything And the last
and greatest mistake of all is to
live for time alone, when any
moment may launch rs into eter-
nity.-Ex.

Cloth continues the favorite material

Another pretty idea is that every tai
lor costume be provided with q taffeta

fitting Jackets, or coates, for plaid
skirts, and these coates have each
seam embroidered in darker shade OF
the same color
Small buttons are now used In pref
erence TO large ones. and are put on In
groups OF two or three In Breton style.
Passing on from skirts TO bodices,
again I notice that great many cos
tunes, although made with separate |
skirts and bodlces. give the impression
OF being princess robes, as they are in

trIbuted by box plat. Great atten-

White linen lawn embroidered lavish

ing between the very simple and very
elaborate shirt waist output. These
have box plated backs minus yokes
and plain fronts with suggestion Of
fullness in the nature Of shallow plaits
extending few inches below the shoul-
der line. Doing away with yokes calls
forth my unstlnted praise. There was
never any real necessity for their be-
ing. and not only was the Identity Of
good back lost, but the line OF the
shoulder was completely obliterated.
In the same category with the en-
broidered lawn may be mentioned the
dressy batiste blouse or shirt. II comes
In delicate colorings and is made more
dainty by the addition OF a white null
vest or yoke with tucks held together
by beading or fine lace insertion.
The new skirts are the talk OF the
hour. From being seamless they are
now provided with plaits or gathers.
Plated and gathered skirts are met at
almost every step, These are not uni
formly set In around the waist; they
are arranged In groups, separated by
a plain space. Bodies are trimmed In
the same way. Sometimes these plaits
IRE sewed together as far as the knees.
whence all the fullness bulges out like
a very ample flounce. At other times
however. the plaits or gathers are left
free even at the waist, and then the
skirt is called ia bonnie femme" lin
plain English, 'the old woman").
Other skirts again are ''fulled" In only
at the back, while the front is as tight
fitting as G princess robe. This Is the
most popular shape so far. 1t gives
ease by the fullness at the back and
yet preserves In front the statuesque
form so dear to women. But. as every
dressmsker has style and cut Of her
own. we need not hesitate to adopt the
skirt which Ii most becoming TO our
