Our New Orleans Letter.
NEw ORI.EANs. March 90. 1000,

The State Fair is assuming broader
scope. 1t is going to be representative
of the entire State. Last year it was
charged, and with some justice. that it
was merely representative of New Or
leans. Other sections of the State APP
piled for space. ID some instances they
were treated much as ordinary private
exhibitors. But the management has
learned by experience, and this year
probably the most interesting features
of the Fair will come from the Parishes.
Southwest Louisiana has arranged to
make an exhibit of her rice and other
industries. A model Rice Farlh will be
exhibited, showing the methods OF irri.
CATION and every feature connected
with the cultivation of this important
crop.
The people living along the Illinois
Central Railroad have seized upon tho
opportunity offered Ivy the Fair to set
tie the milk question about which New
Orleans is now up in arms. A crusade
has been started by the Board of Health
here against ~adulteiated milk and the
unsanitary conditions surrounding the
dairies, from which New Orleans has
been suffering for years. The papers
have been publishing columns of expo
sures and have backed them up with
photo-engravings proving the filthy
conditions of which complaint is made.
The vital statistics prove that mortali-
ty, and especially infant mortality, de-
creases just as the milk supply i'm
proves. Therefore, the people OF New
Orleans are determined to drive the
milk man out into the country they
want him to go where his cows can have
pasture, and where lie will have facili-
ties which in a city cannot be found.
The question is, whether he will simply
move to the outskirts of New Orleans or
not. The Citizens League of Ham
mend, which is rapidly becoming the
dairy centre of the State, has taken the
matter up. They are going tn exhibit
a model dairy, and give away samples
of milk and pure water. The poor wa
ter supply in this city is one of the
principal complaints made against the
local diaries. The Hammond people
believe that after their EXHIBIT, there
will be a general movement Of the New
Orleans dairy men to their section.
There is no doubt that the sale Of milk
from Taugipahoa parish will be enu1-
mously increased.
The features which are being added
to the Midway insure the popularity of
this department. In fact it has been
found necessary to Increare the space.
The idea is to have tue Midway as in
struetive and entertaining as possible,
but Gebar anything coarse, or that
would in any way offend The most SEN
sitive.
The Transportation Committee has
arranged for the most favorable rates
with the steamboats, and r. r. Compa~
MES. Tickets will be sold fer one
fare. within 300 miles of tEa rIfv nnfl
the reads running west will probably
extend this rate into Texas. The Pas
senger Agents in New Orleans have ar
ranged for reduced rates for alternate
days as follows: Illinois Central, Mon
days; Texas g. Pacific, Tuesdays Lou
isyile g. Nashville, Wednesdays Queen
& Crescent, Thursdays; Southern Pa
cific, Fridays. and Miss. Valley, Satur

correspondence
MR.. EnIToR:-

Mr.. EDIToR:-
Some two months ago. as q result OF a
meeting of our citizens held at the
Court House on Jan. 22d, ac0mmittee OF
ladies and gentlemen was
organized and to it was assigned the
task Of raising the necessary funds for
providing additional school accommo-
dations, the High School building, on
account of the steadily increasing nam
Der of pupils, no longer being adequate
to the needs Of the situation. The fact
that more school room was needed had
been called to the attention OF the Par.
ish School Board last year, but as all
the available funds at tue disposal OF
that body had been pledged to the
maintenance of the numerous school
throughout the parish, and as it was,
besides, contrary to the policy OF the
Board to build or enlarge school build
ings-there being no funds for that par-
assistance could be obtained
in that Quarter, and an appeal was then
made to the Town Council. That body,
too, being in financial straits, could
render no assistance, and an appeal was
then made to the citizens OF the town.
Hence the meeting of Jan. 22d and the
organization. a few days later, OF the
committee of twenty-five.
That committee went zealously to
work, at the outset, and mapped out
an excellent and somewhat elaborate
programme for raising the necessary
funds, including the soliciting OF cash
subscriptions, the giving of dramatic
and other entertainments, the engage
ment of noted lecturers, etc. The sug-
gestion, however, that the committee
ahA.,l1 n =, 1Ta 10 n nvnna pnnha fHr the
Lowing of a small special tax, as the
best and most expeditions of
raising the bulk of the needed funds,
while ie appeared to commend itself
to some of the nor thoughtful and
experienced members, was not made q
part of the programme but was re-
ferred to a committee instructed to in
vestigate and report at a later day. Ii
that committee has reported [ have
not heard of it, and il any considerable
amount of the needed funds has been
secured the public is. ignorant of the
fact. In the meantime. the High
School is overcrowded and unless an
addition is built to it ~or~another school
house erected before the opening Of the
next term, matters will be worse next
fall.
Under these circumstances, will you
not, Mr.. Editor, advocate the prompt
levying Of a small tax, which, added to
the amount to be raised by the public
spirited gentlemen and ladies who con
stitute the committee of twenty-five,
will insure the erection of a new school
building or the enlargement of the
High School before the close of the
present summer7 A tax of two mills
would be sufficient, and it need not be
levied more than two years. Surely a
community which unmurmuriDgly paid
81 mills for eight years, and no longer
pays any school tax whatever, would
cheerfnlly pay this small trife for the
promotion of the grand cause OF educa-
ton, which in Opelousas and St. Lam
dry has yielded such magnificent re-
suits in late years and promises, with
proper management, to bear still richer
fruit in the future.

Your Marriage Certificate.
Washington Star.

Somebody at a luncheon one day last

somebody else on wager that not half

where their marriage certificates were.
She won the bonbons, and by a wide mar
gin, for of nine women present only two
could teel the whereabouts Of their tradi-
tionally precious marriage lines" Sew
erel of the women had vague ideas about
boxes of papers in storerooms. One said
she had never to her knowledge possessed
such a document. One said her little boy
had thrown hers in the fire. OF the two
who knew where their marriage certi-
ficates were. one has been married but
six weeks. The other woman smiled when
they asked her about ii.

New York because 1 could get nobody to
