Monte Ghisto Delights Large Audience

The Edwin Southcrs company
portrayed the Fechter version of
Monte CriStO at Halls Opera
house last night. The audience
was large, representative and APP
preciative. The applause was
unstinted and it resulted from
the most cordial approval Of Mr..
Southers' Interpretation Of the
characters Of Edmond Dante, and
the Count of Monte CristO. His
conception of the character was
superb and in voice, actions and
gestures he could be likened to
actors who have made these
characters and plays famous.
The scenic effects were excel
lent. The other characters were
we'll taken, special credit being
due Miss Madelaine Price, Miss

Second Finding unparalleled
gas and oil indications ON Bayou
Blue, about fifteen miles north
of Jennings, we purchased Bayou
Blue Springs, covering a hill of
about five arcres on Bayou Blue.
We also have forty acres three
miles north of the Jennings Oil
Well, where gas and Oil abound
and upon which it was at first
intended to sink Il well. But the
climax was struck when after
much labor and time had been
spent, ANSSE A. LA BUTTE, the
SPINDLE TOP of Mamou Prairie
was secured, and this is a real
Spindle Topinevery sense. This
six acres lies within a mile of
Bayou Cane, tributary of Mer-
mentau river and just north of
Mermentau station where the
Southern Pacific railway crosses
the Mermentau river, giving
easy and cheap access to an out
let to market
This is where the Prairie
Mamou Oil & Mineral Co., Ltd
will within the next 30 days be-
gin to sink a well with the prom
Use in advance of gusher. 1t is
about one-fourth of a mile south
east of the noted gushing well of
the Jennings Oil Co.
We intend to bore our second
well on Bayou Blue. We have
leases upon several hundred
acres of lands on which we would
bore in event others see fit to
develop any adjacent thereto and
meet success.
The Company will offer $4,000
shares for sale at so cents per
share for Il short time. Par val

would much prefer to sell these
shares to home people.

PROSPECTUS.

In rendering this, our prospec-
tus, we wish to avoid flowery,
deceptive language, and to set
forth in detail few simple, plain
facts, briefly stating what we
ha, e done, where we have opera
ted and what we propose to do.
The Prairie Mamou Oil & Min
eral Co. Ltd, domiciled at Jen-
nings, Calcasieu parish, La. is a
duly organized and chartered
company, capitalized at 100000.
Captain d. 3. Sweet, president
of the Jennings Banking & Trust
Co., a man of unquestionable in
tegrity and pronounced bust
ness success, is president of this
company.
From the organization of this
Company it has been the purpose
to select small plots Of really oil
lands throughout the oil belt of
Calcasieu parish, ignoring in a
measure large bodies Of indiffer-
emit lands without promise, upon
which leases could be procured
at nominal figures. Following
up this idea they have purchased,
First Twenty acres near the
blackberry well that is full OF
promise, the we'll being down
near l 1000 feet, with every indi.
cation of success. The stock OF
this we'll is now at par value.
A peculiar feature character
ling this well, which lies thirteen
miles southeast of Sulphur Mines
is, that before the day when sui
phur was extracted by heat g
spring at blackberry flowed very
cold water, which today is almost
as hot as hot coffee. We also
purchased five acres near the
Vinton wells which have struck
several S trataS of oil, published
to the world.

witchcraft in Normandy.

Superstition of the grossest kind still fourishes all over Normandy. A most respectable old gentleman re- gently died in village near Dieppe, who, although he was both wealthy md charitable, had for years before his death been under taboo by the villagers. He had the reputation of being a sorcerer. The belief in witches and sorcerers is still rampant at the beginning of the twentieth century all over this province. These evillys disposed persons, such is the popular scredence, can cast spells, whereby cattle peak and pine and harvests fail. This in province where there are the shrewdest heads in FraL.e. And it is in the rural dis tricts only that these absurd beliefs obtain. I was in Rouen some time ago-the capital of Normandy-and found there fiourishing a superstition and it's resultant rites which date from before the Christian era, indeed, more than 20 centuries before our sra.-Bos ton Transcript. s.

Pre.ident McKinIey's Mail.

From the date on which the presi- dent begins his annual message until the close of each session of congress, from 1000 to 1.500 letters are received daily, says Leslie's Weekly. Even in summer the daily average is rarely less than 300. The president sees only the letters of his friends, and those of high officials in regard to personal matters. Only those of obvious inn portance reach even MT. Cortelyou, who makes memorandum or brief of the contents of any letter that may be likely to require the presidents atten- ton. The letters are all assorted by MT. Cortelyou's corps of clerks, and fully 80 per cent. are forwarded to the various executive bureaus and di- visions of which each department is composed, and all that are worthy oi attention are answered as promptly as possible.

Good Yacht Sailors Scarce.

Those who have studied the art of preparing cup defenders for their work are aware of the immense amount of care needed toproperly tune the yacht long after she has sailed her first race. The most scientific part of the work of the handlers of cup de- fender is in the perfecting of her rig ging and her various gear so that everything will carry tremendously upon the big 9O-footer. Here is where the really fine distinctions of yachting occur and there are actually but few men in the world who are capable of handling such problems Successfully. Certainly not 200 men on earth are able to decide these matters with accuracy and success Baltimore Herald.

A T.lI smolse Column.

During the burning of the Standard Oil company's tanks at Bayonne, N. J., in July, 1900, an immense column of smoke, shaped at the top like an um- brella, rose into the air, where very little wind was stirring, to an eleva- tion, measured by triangulation, of 13,411 feet, or more than two miles and n half. Above the column white clouds formed in an otherwise cloudless sky, and remained visible for two days, the fire continuing to burn and the smoke to rise. After the explosion of a gas oil-tank flames shot up to height of 5000 feet, and the heat radiated from them was felt at distance of a mile and three-quarters, where it was more noticeable than close to the fire.-Youth's Companion.

Entertaining the king and queen of England is not invariably an affair of mutual sociability. It not infrequent- ly happens that the host and hostess of royalty see very little of their dis tinguished guests. In many great country houses the royal suite of
 ooms forms a self-contained flat, to which even a garden is sometimes at sached, and dinner has become the only household meal which the royal guests are expected to share with their hostess and the latter's family.-N. Y. World.

Fox, grandfather of the present incumbent, whom President Washington appointed May 30, 17e4 The present consul's son is vice con- sul, and is likely to succeed his fa- ther, as the salary is but $500 year, though it is said that office-seekers are in the habit of representing to every administration that this important stipend is being wasted on English men.-N.
