OIL AT JENNINGS.

From dispatches received we
learn that Oil has at last been
found at Jennings, that is, a gush-
er has been brought in.

found to be not gusher, and
work has been steadily going on,
to bring it in. Monday two
inch s,ream of oil came in, the
flow of oil gushing some seventy
five feet in the air. No need to
say that Jennings is full OF excite
ment, and right she is to be that
It is to be hoped that this gusher
will not prove like the first one,
because the public are beginning
to doubt that any oil has ever
been found in Louisiana.
With good authority, such as
Mr.. Haywood saying that Beau
mont is only second rate Oil

| is safe to say that Louisiana does
contain oil. and that the prospects
are as good in this state as il

The parish possesses two large
buildings as high schools, one AT
New Iberia the other at Jeanerette
while at Loreauville is nice
graded school with four large
apartments. Other buildings
throughout the parish number
80, and the total value of same is
$500
During the year 1899 to 1900
the Jeanerette and Loreauville
buildings were erected, also five
country school houses. Two in
the End ward, one in the 9th, and
2 in the 7th ward. Four Of these
at a cost of 500 each and one at
q cost of $500. During the same
period there was invested IN
school furniture the sum OF
$25OO.
After making these improve
ments and operating these schools

where due, and keenly noticing
irregularities and mistakes.
The jury made a close study of
the jail question and heartily Ell
dorsed the plans put forward by
the police jury.
1t dwelt long on the irregulant
Iy of taxation in the parish and
regretted that to this bad state OF
affairs the parish treasury was
empty. 1t recommended an equal
ization of taxes diminishing of
some of the parishes running ex
penses.
The jury visited the public
schools of the parish, and it re-
ports that some of them were over
crowded, and strongly recommend
ed in equal divlson of pupils when
ever possible 1t declared that 1t
had found no evidence of the VIOLA
ton of the Sunday law, and it
commended the Sheriff for his
zelous service to the parish.

HUSTllNG FOR BUSINESS.
More or Less of II Done In New York
Lawyers Offices.

Get a move on. That's the great
modern motto" said q New York law
yer who has been practicing in the
local courts for the last % years.
When | was admitted to the bar"
he went on, there was great idea of
the dignity of the profession. 4 law
yer would about as soon have paraded
Broadway carrying a sandwich sign
calling attention to his legal ability as
he would have thought of hustling in
any other way for business. The thing
to do was to rent an office and sit in it
until somebody came and dug you out
of the dust and spider webs and asked
you TO take case.
1.-THE march of progress has changed
all that. Every law firm in this city
hustles for business. | don't mean
that the big men of the firm chase
around after clients. OF course they
don't But the firm does a lot of
shrewd planning ahead. 1t schemes in
a particular fashion of its own to widen
its sphere Of usefulness-to itself.
"Of late years one of the expedients
adopted has been the taking into the
firm of young college graduates who
can give reasonable guarantee that
they will bring business. College men
know of this custom, and many of
them shape their life ct the university
accordingly. They are after friends.
They want to be popular. They want
TO he able TO swing as much of the
future legal business of their fellow
graduates as they can.
"A chap who can bring business of
that sort is taken in on a good salary
even when he is the yeriest tyro at
law. He's expected, of course. to do
what real work he can and to study
hard. But the salary is for the pull he
can exert over his fellows. New York

COLUMBIA WINS FIRST HEAT

Minute and IG Seconds on the Nun
HOme-Three Times on the Windvard
Leg Columbia Tries to Cross the Sns M
rocks Bow, but Fails Each Time.
In the closest and most exciting race
ever sailed for the old Americas cup,
the white flyer Columbia Saturday beat
the English challenger over windward
and leeward course Of 30 nautical mil les
off Sandy Hook by the narrow. heart
breaking margin of 80 seconds, in the
first of the races to decide the possession
OF the cup. The second race is bein g
sailed today. The official time is ~
seconds as the Shamrock because of her
larger canvas has TO give handicap of
43 seconds. So evenly matched were
these two scientific racing machines
that never after they started were the
rival skirpers out of each others hail.
All the experts admit that the British
boat is the ablest sloop ever sent to these
waters to lift the l00-guinea cup which
the schooner America brought across
the Atlantic 80 years ago, and that the
superiority OF American seamanship and
American naval architecture, as repres-
ented by the defender, remains to be
established. The quality of sailing
ship Is measured by her ability to carve
her way into an adverse wind. and in the
- mile thrash to windwRrd Saturday
the golden challenger gained 30 seconds.
while on the run home her lead was
eaten up.
She did what no Britou has ever been
able to do before--to get the better of
the Yankee vatcht in fair and honest
thrash TO windward.
She is marvelously swift craft un-
der favorable conditions. She had
these conditions on Saturday Just TO her
liking-a moderate breeze. iu which she
could carry without staggering her vast
area of canvass. and at the same time a
rolling but not rough sea. Moreover,
she secured the advantage of two sec
onds a. the start. getting away in hand
some style, with the Columbia behind
her and to leeward.
Until the two were within two miles
of the turn neither OF these wonderful
racers had gained perceptibly so much
as half second on the other.
Shamrock led by 81 seconds at the
turn. She had gained 80 seconds in the
last two miles.
But by good seamanship Barr forced
her mile out of her course and then op
squaring away obtained lead of 35
seconds.
Then in all the long run home neither
yacht gained so much as a second on
the other. and Columbia crossed 30
seconds ahead of the challenger.
Sir Thomas Upton said at the close,
"Well, that's one dot against Us. Bnt in
my own heart | am Just as hopeful as
was this morning, for | feel if | only
have wind, I'm all right. 1t was a
fair and square race, no fluke, but it was
not Shamrock s day.

The Human Ear.

The human ear is an organ the true
inwardness of which the physicians
have never been able to get at They
can examine the interior of the eye
with ease by throwing into Its dark
chamber ray of light reflected from
a little mirror, and they found it pos
sible even to see the gray matter of the
brain by looking through the little
canal by which the optic nerve enters.
The cavity behind the nose they in
spect with the aid of light placed far
back in the mouth.
They have no difficulty in seeing into
the stomach by an electric apparatus;
the intestines likewise are readily
enough investigated, and the bladder
also. But the ear as to its internal
arrangements is unapproachable. 1t is
impossible to dissect it satisfactorily
after DEATH for the reason that the
parts collapse at once when the vital
spark leaves the body.
