The Concert.

The seventh Grand Exhibition
Concert of the ST. Landry
Academy of Music, and second
Concert of the Academy's Brass
Band was given ON last Friday,
Nov. 80.
We always expect muscal
treat when Prof. r. Mayer is the
moving spirit, but this time he
has exceeded our expectations.
The first number on the pro-
gram "Mendelsshoo's Wedding
March with double Ochestra,
was magnificent and last, 'sThe.
Watch on the Rhein'' with double
Orchestra and Ladies Chorus,
could not have been better pro-
duced-the effect of the Chorus
with Orchestra, was most grand
and inspiring.
Miss Nita Veltin and Miss Hell
en- Bodemuller played their solos
on the piano most creditably ;
although the Sonatas are too
classic for the general public,
those that are judges of music,
cannot fail to see the progress
these children are making.
Miss Della Skiles played a Fan
.taisie of Luci de Lamermoore on
the Violoncello with all the feel
ing of an artist. Though so
yeung, she handles that difficult
instrument with ease and surety.
Miss Mabel Skiles surprised the
audience with lengthy piece
on the violin, which she per-
formed with the GOODNESS of a
musician. Her improvement
since the last concert is re mark
able she will be a fine violinist
in the future, if she continues to
progress as at present.
Both these children are very
practical in Orchestra playing.
Our Young Ladies Brass Band
gave US five selections, each of
which they played most satisfac-
torily. Although Prof. r. M. is
forcing their ability to the high
est pitch by such difficult music,
they did well considering the
short time they have been prac-
ticing. s sa s.
The piece called Dewey Before
Manila," by Prof. r. Mayer, was
quite a success. The music is
fine, and the bombardment Of the
Spanish Fleet was quite novelty
In music.
After the concert, the Grand
Ball, with the delightful music by
the Orchestra. was enjoyed by

The Presidents Message.

We find the following resume
Of the main points in the Presi-
dents message, which is quite vo-
LUMINOUS, in the n. O. Picayune !:
After a few words of introduc-
ton in regard to the growth of
the Republic in the century which
is now almost in its very last days
Of existence, the President takes
up the national relations with
China and devotes much space to
a recital of the details and cir
eumstances of the recent out
break in the far Eastern empire
against foreigners, an outbreak
which has involved all the great
nations Of Europe, as we'll as the
United States and Japan.
The successful efforts made by
the United States, IN conjunction
with the other powers, to rescue
and relieve their citizens and sub
jects that were beleagured and as
sassinated by the Chinese, and to
secure indemnity for the outrages
committed, are suscinctly set
forth, and the suject with which
Congress must deal is fully made
known. 1t is but just to say that
the management of the Chinese
situation by the President during
the inLermission of Congress has
been judicious and wise, and
leaves the important matter in d
condition which will present to
that body no special difficulties.
A matter Of no small local in
terest is the Presidents reference
to the lynching of some Italians
in Madison parish, in this State.
He urges upon Congress the ne
cessity of giving to the United
States exclusive jurisdiction of all
crimes and offenses that can be
made at any time matters of In
'ternational inquiry Such q step
is sure, sooner or later, to be
taken, and it will be the begin
ming of a most radical and dan

DR.. THEoGENE CHAcHERE,
Opelousas, La,
My Dear Friend Enclosed
please find another memento Of
the Philippines in the form of a
Filipino shirt. | would like to
dispose of a number (about 1907
of these shirts in your vicinity,
and could you please recommend
to me some one who would agree to
dispose Of these shirts. They are
worth at least $500, but they are
to be sold at $3.50 each, the seller
to retain SOC. on each shirt, remit
ting the $500 to me. When 100
shirts are disposed of-as each
shirt is to be numbered from l to
100-a bolo which [ captured at
Antique, is to be raffied off. Thus
each purchaser will get a rare
souvenir of the Philippines for
only $3.50 and a free chance on
one of the few bolos captured at
Antique. One of the other sol
diers, who was so fortunate as to
capture bolo there, sent it home
to his father, who has been re-
peatedly offered $4,000 for it,
which he has always refused. In
a few years this bolo will be price
less, but l will give it free, to get
the people of Opelousas and vi
cinity interested in this wonder
full vegetable product, Pima cloth.
The Pima plant grows only on
the island of Panay. The fibre is
sold for its weight in silver, and
it takes two women a week to
weave a yard of it, for which
work they receive Is cents each,
and so valuable is the cloth, that
even here, only the richer can af-
ford to wear shirts made from it.
| wish to get a hustler to take
charge of it, advertize in the
COURIER and have bills printed
and posted in conspicuous places
all advertising to be done at
my expense. I would request
that loan the shirt to the agent,
to secure the orders, and when he
has taken 100 orders, | will send
the 100 shirts $50 for men and so
for women) and the bole to you,
and give them to the agent. I
will make nothing by the trans
action, except to convert the
shirts into cash, as / get them by
trading with the natives, and need
the money more than I do the
shirts.
Give my regards, to my un-
known friend. With best wishes,
I remain,
Very truly yours,
