Dr.. A. J. Price, the distinguished
citizen of Lo-kport elected coroner OF
this parish, last April, was here last
Monday for the purpose OF qualify.
ing. The genial doctor accomplished
h,s purpose and is now the coroner
of the parish of LafOurche. He has
selected DR.. Thos. Stark as his assis-
tani, to look after the public interests
in his line of business ut this end OF
the line. A better or wiser selection
could not have been male.
In noting the induction in office OF
DR.. Price and Of his able assistant,
it 10 but fair to pay parting tribute
to their predecessors, DR.. j. J. Ayo,
late coroner, and Or. A. j. Meyer,
bis allie assistant, who both dlscharg
ed their official functions in worthy,
efficient aud conscientious way, and
proved themselves faithful public

A BLOODY AFFAIR.
Robt. L. Askew Murdered, and
7. Gordon Reddy. Jr. DAN
gerousIy Wounded,
BY the Garigs in the City oi
Baton Rouge.

THIS community was startled last
Wednesday when the news was re
c-ived here over the telephone 10 the
forenoon that T. Gordon Re.ldy, Jr.s
aud Robert L. Askew, both of this
parish, had been mortally wounded
by the Garig boys IN . dastardIy
attempt to assassinate the 6rst named
gentleman. Both parties being we'll
known and highly esteemed, the sad
news created general regret aud sor.
row among their many friends and
acquaintances, and the expression of
fervent wishes for the recovery of the
two wounded men Was universal.
When later news announced the
death Of Robert l.. Askew the gen.
eral sorrow aud sadness deepened,
and denunciat,Ous of the assassihs
we're loud and deep.
The newspaper reports Of the
affair shows . determination on the
part OF the Garig boys to do away
with Mr.. Reddy on account Of come
business feud existing between him
and their uncle. William Gxrig. one
Of the wealthiest men of Baton
Rouge.
Mr.. Reddy and Mr.. Askew were al
breakfast with Senator w. H. rice
and Mr.. James NJ. BOllinger in the
restaurant of the Mayer house, at the
invitation of the Senator. While al
table partaking Of the hospitality oi
the Senator, one of the Gsrigs stepped
in and addressing Mr.. Reddy fsmi
Iiarly but politely. asked him u
please step out as he desired to speal
to him. Mr.. Reddy readily acquies
ced, apparently suspecting nothing
but he had no sooner stepped outside
than young Garig asked him il ht
had SAID . certain thing and as soOu
as he answered, knocked him down
and opened nre on him. The firing
became general at once. Mr.. Askev
who tried to come to the rescue OF
bis friend was shot and mOrtally
wounded, and retreated into the
restaurant, where Senator Price who
scarcely had time TO seize the situs
ton, protec>ed him from the muir
derers.
In the meantime, Mr.. Reddy who
had emptied his pistol 10 defending

GERMAN BOY IS: AHEAD.
Three Years in Advance Of the YaA.
kes Boy In School, 1t 10
Claimed.

II know it would be wrong to explain
our being three years ahead of New
England boy merely from the scholarly
preparation of our teachers" says
Prof. Hugo Muensterberg in Atlantic.
"A second factor, which isshardly less
important, stands clear before my
mind too; the help which the school
found in our homes. l do not mean
that we were helped in our work, but
the teachers were silently helped by
the spirit which prevailed in our homes
with regard to the school work. The
school had the right of way; our par
ents reinforced our belief in the work
and our respect for the teachers; q
reprimand in the school was shadow
on our home life; a word of praise in
the school was a ray of sunshine for
the household. The excellent school
books, the wise plan for the upbuilding
of the ten years course, the hygienic
care, the external stimulations, have
all, of course, helped toward the re-
suits; and yet am convinced that their
effect was entirely secondary compared
with those two features, the scholarly
enthusiasm of our teachers and the re-
spect for the school on the part of our
parents"

WHO CAN VOTE.
Those who would vote must be citizens
of the United States on election day.

A great deal has been said by the
state press in relation to the constitu-
tional amendment voted on and adopted
by the people at the last general cleo
ton, respecting the rights of those en-
titled to vote at the coming election and
the reports 80 far given out are con-
ficting. The amendment as adopted
reads as follows:
Article 2, Section 121. Every male
person of the age of q years or up.
wards, belonging to either of the fol-
lowing classes, who shall have resided
In the state one year and in the county
six months, and In the precinct ninety
days next preceding any election. shall
be qualified elector at such election:
First-Citizens of the United States.
Second-Civilized persons of Indian
descent who shall have severed their
tribal relations two years next preced-
ing such election.
The amendment is perfectly plain
and no one needs lawyer to interpret
the meaning of it for them. It simply
says that only citizens will be entitled
to vote and doesn't mean that persons
who have only declared their intentions
can vote. The term citizen means a
native born citizen 21 years of age or a
naturalized citizen who has taken out
his full papers.

AS yet the origin of pearls is a matter
of mere speculation. The old theory
that they were 'congealed dewdrops
pierced by sunbeams" was supported
by naturalists as late as 1854, and is
evidenced in Venetian medal bearing
an open oyster shell receiving drops of
rain, with the motto: by the divine
dew" Later conchologists, however,
contend that the pearl nucleus may be
some minute particle, as grain of
sand, or the frustule of diatom, or
a tiny parasite, or perhaps one of the
ova of the pearl oyster itself. This
particle or foreign body is gradually
surrounded by thin layers Of nacre I'M
til it is completely encysted and the
pearl formed. The consecutive layers
may vary in brightness and color, and
. defect may be caused by contact with
another foreign substance, thus chang
ing the value with each new layer, and
sometimes causing "lively kernel" or
seed" to be inclosed in an apparent
" poor pearl.-Lippincott's.

All Nepotisn is Barred.

Attorney General Douglas has rem
dered All opinion on the law governing
the choice OF teachers for district schools,
in which he holds that 10 person who
has a relative on n school board may be
chosen rs u teacher without the assent
Of AL the members of that boa, d. The
opinion comedies with one recently
given by the assistant attorney general.
The opinion results from the peculiar
acton of district school board that
wished to avoid the law regarding rela-
tivps, but did not thoroughly under.
stand it.
An application for appointment as
teacher was received from n yonng lady
related to Il member of the board. The
member at once resigned and his sue
cessrr was chosen The application WAS
granted, after which the new member
resigned in turn and the old member
was reinstated. The attorney general
holds that the action of that board was
illegal. -Mlnneapolis Tribune.

MISTAKE OF A SMART LAWYER
Bxtorted Money from His Partners
In Q Deal, hut They After.
re-: ward Got Even.

This is so true that it is interesting
very much so. A well-known Maine at
torney is especially noted for his keen
ness in looking out for the best end of
every bargain and for his ability in
getting hold of that end. 1t has made
him unpopular in some circles-has
that trait of his, says the Lewiston
Journal.
One deal not long ago he was in with
a couple Of friends-men Of wealth and
standing. Business was good the first
year. There was a generous division
of profits. But tn lawyer wasn't sat
isfied with what was coming TO him,
share and share alike with the others.
After receiving his proper whack as a
partner he exacted $500 more for
counsel fees" lie said that as a law
yer he was worth that much more to
the deal. This was new way OF look
ing at the matter, but the bill was
resignedly allowed by the friends.
They were pretty good business men,
understand. In little while they saw
that the venture wasn't panning out
very well. So the shrewd men OF at
fairs quietly unloaded without saying
anything to their partner. Then lit
tie later came the crash.
The lawyer hurried around to hold
a consolation meeting with the other
two.
"Gracious, isn't this too bad?"
moaned he. II lost so-and-so. How
much did you fellows drop? You must
have been hit pretty hard"
you're wrong, old boy" came the
cheerful duet. "We never lost dol
lar; no, we never lost cent. Tra-la.",
"What-t-t!"
"Never lost dollar! We saw it
coming two months ago. Had tip.
Unloaded. All out!"
'Well, then, why in the name of all
that's square and aboveboard, didn't
you tell me?"
''Well, we, could have, had you al
lowed us $500 counsel fees when you
took yours See"
