BUFFALO BILLS
Wild West Show Plays to y Very
Largo Audiences, 600 to
10000 Present.

Buffalo Bill has come and gone.
1t is safe to say that those who saw
the performance are grateful to- the
famed frontiersman for several
hours of pleasure. 1t was what it
was advertised-a wild west show.
1t was both interesting and instruc
tive and pleasurable from start to
finish. The people were looked
after with order and system and
every one was given the full vaue
of his money.
There were from 8, 900 to 10000
people. Some say IL, 900.
Though the town was crowded
all day and the saloon did q good
business there was not a serious dis
turbance of the peace. This fact
proves that Lafayette is not only
the ideal place on the Southern
Pacific road for the assembling of
large crowds but it is another evil
dence that the town is happily free
from hoodlumism.
Opelousas, Crowley, Rayne, Alb
beville, St. Martinville and New
Iberia helped to swell the crowd.
New Iberia was particularly well re-
presented.
The hotels were taxed to their
full capacity during the day. Capt.
Hahn, of the Star and Crescent,
kindly entertained a large number
of the visitors at his place.
The managers of the show were
pleased beyond expectation with
the size of the crowd. They said
the advance man was wise in Sc
lecting this place to give an exhibit
ton, for no other town between
Houston and New Orleans was ST.
tuated for the gathering of SO vast
an audience. Our business men will
do we'll to make a note of this when
contemplating the holding of fairs
and things of that sort.

DIED.

DIED.
Mr.. Clet Leblanc, Jr., aged 46
years, died at his home in Lafayette
last Wednesday night after long
illness. His remains were inferred
in the cemetery at Broussard the
following day.
Mr.. Leblanc was resident of
the fourth ward up to few months
ago when he moved to Lafayette
with his family. He was an honest
man, a good friend and a father
and husband who was devoted to
his family. In his death the COM
munity loses worthy citizen who
was always ready to do his share
for the honor and credit of his
country. Though it was perhaps in
the humber walks of life his influ-
ence was always exerted for the
good and against the bad.

1t is inexplicable to many people
why the mail is not brought to the
post Office Immediately after the
arrival of the train. Some way OF
other the mail is delayed a long
while after the train has reached
the station. We are told that the
mail-carrier must attend to the
transfer of the mails from one train
to another before he IS permitted to
take the local mail to the post Of
fee. Surely this is very unsatis-
factory arrangement

ROy.Olivfer.

Mr.. Rodolph Roy and Miss Hell
Disc Oliver were married last We'd
nesday afternoon by Judge c. De-
baillon. Mr.. Roy is a well-known
young man of Royville and Miss
Olivier is most accomplished
young lady of this town. She was
one of the parish's valued school
teachers and Mr.. Roy's gain is
quite a loss to the pupils of the
Blanchet school, by whom she is
held IN great esteem.
Mr.. and Mrs. Roy left Wednes-
day night for New Orleans, to he

that heaven may Bless them with
a long and happy life.

OPENING OF STREET
To tho Industrial Institute-EX-
preparation Proceedings to
be Instituted.

AS will be seen by reading the
proceedings of the City Council
published elsewhere in this paper
the matter of opening the street to
the Industrial Institute is yet I'M
settled. Judging from the resolu-
ton adopted by the Council there
is no doubt that the differences ex-
listing between Mr.. Mouton and the
Council will have to be adjusted by
the court. Another effort was
made to arrive at an amicable set
Element but we are informed that
the parties to the controversy are
further apart than ever before.
The way it looks now no amount OF
parleying will do any good. The
Gazette is not prepared to say
which side is right, but it will ex-
press the hope that the matter will
be settled as soon as possible and
that the street will be opened in
due time. A shorter route to the
institute is needed and the one pro-
posed Is the best that we know of.
As to the value of the land that is
a question for the court to decide.

A READING LESSON.
Method Followed Occasionally in N
Nebraska Public school.
From the Omaha CNeb.) Bee

From the Omaha (Neb.) Bee.
''The teacher of this school is sick" said
the superintendent, and one of the high
school girls is taking her place. think"
he added to the class, that you had bet
ter conduct your own reading lesson this
afternoon. You may proceed as if you
were alone"
There was a moments pause, then a
little girl in a front seat read the first
stanza of the lesson, John G. Saxes poem
"The Blind Man and the Elephant" Her
manner of rendering it was almost beyond
criticism and she had not much more
than finished when boy in the back of
the room started out on the second STAN
"a.
THE first approached the elephant, and,
happening to fall" he read, placing the
emphasis upon elephant" But his seat
mate had looked a little deeper into the
thought of the poem and seeing that each
blind man was to approach the elephant
in turn, he recognized the fact that
first" instead of elephant was the
word to receive the emphasis, so when
his companion had finished he re-read
the stanza according to his Interpretation
of it.
A voice from the other side OF the class
started out on the third stanZa, reading
with such rapidity as to obscure the
thought. This was received with disap-
prevail, for when she had finished several
started to give it differently. However,
before half dozen words Were read the
place had been yielded to a little girl
whose manner of reading was a decided
Improvement on the one who had preced-
ed her. But even this was not satisfactory
to ALL for one of the boys read it the
third time, raising his voice at the lines:
"Ho! what have we here
80 very round, and smooth, and sharp"
The little girl who read the fourth stanza
evidently satisfied the class, for it was
not repeated. A slight pause, and then
one of the larger boys read the fifth. The
rhythm OF the poetry apparently appeal
ed to him more than the thought for
there was a decided tendency to empha-
size the last word of each line. Again half
a dozen voices started out on the correc-
ton, and again, without the slightest con-
fusion. the place was yielded to one.
So the reading was continued through
out the whole poem, some stanzas being
read as many as four or five times before
each child was satisfied After the poem
was finished the superintendent took the
floor and "A few well-drecter questions
revealed that many had looked beyond
the surface of the poem, had OWNED the
authors purpose in writing it, and had
recognized the type which the blind men
represented. zzzzz
1--WE do not have this kind Of recitation
very often" said the superintendent, "as
the best readers are most critical and
take the lead in the corrections, so it is
more Of a help to the strong than to the
weak ones. However. an occasional les
son interests them and helps to arouse
spirit of competition for good reading"

New York. Feb. 11.-Services commemo-
rative of the anniversary of the birth of
President Lincoln and to consider the
needs of Hampton Institute, at Hampton,
Va. were held tonight at the Brick Pres
byterian Church.
Robert c. Ogden spoke on the negro
problem. He said there are 100000 ne
groes living in one-room huts or cabins
This, he declared, Is the foulest blot on
American civilization. He pleaded for in
terest in the colored people that win lead
to the solution of the great race problem
which he said presses more than ever for
remedies.
Walter II. Page said:
"One man more than all the rest
wrought for the uplifting of the negroes.
He was Gen. Samuel Armstrong the
founder of Hampton Institute. He saw
clearer and wrought with more success
than politicians, missionaries and school
teachers combined"
Principal DR. H. B. F'rissell of Hampton
briefly told what his institution had ac-
comphshed. 1t had educated more than
5000 negroes, 1000 only along academic
lines.
He said there prevails a wrong impress
sion that the institute had recently been
largely endowed This was largely in err

money as now, and is in fact $1,000 behind
in current expenses.
During the evening a large collection for
the institution was taken up.

AS A RESULT OF TRICKS SUIT.
Phipps Has Broken Business ReIa.
tons with Carnegie.


tons with Carnegie.
Pittsburg. Pa, Feb. 1.-THE Dispatch
tomorrow win say:
One of the sensational developments Of
the expected suit of H. c. Frick against
the Carnegie Steel Company, limited, is
the report that Henry Phipps, Jr., next to
the largest stockholder in the company,
has broken the business relations with
Mr. Carnegie, which have been excep-
tionally close during the latter's business
life The two steel kings have been asso-
ciates since boyhood and their interests
have been identical, not only inta business
way, but in their philanthropic work and
social standing. The announcement of the
breach win therefore be a surprise in the
steel world. Mr.. Phipps owns Ii per cent.
of the capital stock of the company, which
is more than the holdings of any other
one stakeholder except Mr.. Carnegie.
1t is said that Mr.. Phipps alone Stands
as the only partner whose signature is
not attached to the famous ironclad agree
ment. The reason for this is not known
to the public; but the important omission,
ID is said will be seized upon by Mr.
Frick as one of the strongest arguments
IN MIS- eHOftS TO nave the celebrated doc
ument broken, his contention being that
the agreement cannot be binding when
the name of one of the largest stockhold-
ers is not attached.
David Watson, who drew up the paper
will be one of the leading lawyers en-
ployed by Mr.. Frick to break it, and the
arguments put forth to this end by him
self and Attorney John G.. johnson of Phil
adelphia promise to be very interesting to
the entire business world.
