upon NJ. Daniel Wilson who had long been

was M. Wilson established at the Elysee

story came out in a state trial toward the
end of 1887. 1t was proved that Wilson had
made a regular practice Of selling the
Legion Of Honor. or. rather, of inviting
people who wanted it to bribe him to use
his influence to obtain 1t for them. His
oyertures were presented through his
Jackals, Generals dAudian and Caffarel

whole party was sentenced to stand in the
dock together. Wilson was sentenced to
two years imprisonment. fine of 5000
francs and FIVE years deprivation of civil
rights. He appealed and the court Of cas-
sation annulled the judgment. The accused,
said the judges, was obviously guilty of
everything that he was charged with. but

punitive law, he could not be punished. So

OF Honor. 1t was ridieuled by many-nota-
bly, by Moreau. who, as victor OF Hohen-
linden, was bitterly jealous of the victor of
Marengo. At a dinner party he sent for his
cook, and said to him. in the presence of
his guests: Michel, I am pleased with
your dinner; you have indeed distinguished
yourself; / will award you Saucepan of
Honor" Nine. de Stael was also satiricaI
upon the subject. "Ah! one of the decorat-
ed?" she used to ask each guest who was
shown into her salon. But Napoleon had
gagged human nature correctly. His Legion
of Honor did meet a felt want and 1t was
definitely inaugurated on July IA, 1904.
Among the eminent men of science and
men OF letters on whom 1t was then be-
slowed were included Laplace. the mafhe-
matician; Lalande, the astronomer; Cuv1er,
the naturalist, and Legouve, the poet. The

After Napoleon's downfall the question or
suppressing the legion Of Honor arose.
Chateaubriand, whom Napoleon had not
decorated, strongly urged its abolition. SO
did Pozzo di Bergo. Marshals Victor, MAI

bate it was decided to recognize and retain
the order, not on any high moral OF pa

could not afford to make himself more un-
popular than he was already by stripping
people of their decorations. Chateaubriand

If indications amount to anything,
Porto Rico will have exceedingly large
coffee and sugar crops this year. The
De Ford estate, near Guayamas, prob
ably the largest in the island, will
grind its first crop this year, and if this
comes up to the expectations they will

will soon ship $4,000 worth of sugar,

almost entirely recovered from the eff
fects of the cyclone of nearly two years
ago.
The fruit outlook is good, but owing
to the time required for maturing
fruits will produce no returns for two
or three years. A year ago there was
hardly an acre of fruit under cultivation
in Porto Rico. Several Floridians
went there and settled and are now
awaiting for their fruit trees to bios

transportation must be carefully con-
sidered. and fruit property must be

The old cabildo which has been men
toned in connection with the Presi-
dents trip is familiar and picturesque
sight to those who have visited New
Orleans. In 1892 the building was
erected by Spanish nobleman, named
Rexas who was a colonel OF the pro-
vincial troops in Louisiana and a cav
alier of the royal and distinguished
order of Carlos ILL., His memory is
even now perpetuated In daily evening

him at the same time and given to the
Catholic church of Louisiana. The
structure figures much in the romances
OF George w. Gable, Charles Dudley
Warner and other noted American
writer's. 1t faces what is now known
as Jackson Square, where Gen. Andrew
Jackson rode at the head of his hardy
Tennesseeans and Kentuckians and
Creoles and Lafttes pirate patriots,
after the victory of the battle of New
Orleans in 1915, and there received the
laurels of the conqueror.
To this day there stands a remark

grlzzled old warrior in the center of
the square, which at the time of his
coming and before was known as the
Place d'Armes. 1t was in this square.
also, that the French provincials i'm
plicated in the Lafreniere insurrection
were shot. They had rebelled against
the secret treaty whereby Louisiana
was given to Spain and had sought to
form an empire of their own. Here.
likewise, in the Place d'Armes were
gtbbeted the pirates and smugglers of
the Barataria Bay and other malefac-
tors and breakers of the law. From
the wide Spanish center window jack
son reviewed his troops after the bat
tie of New Orleans and it is proposed
that President Mckinley deliver an adj
dress and review parade from the
same window during his visit.
AS the Csbildo Is Today.
The old Cabildo is today used as the
court room of the Louisiana State Sill
preme Court, and, aside from its rich
interest as the scene of the celebrated
transfer of the territory to the United
States in 1903, contains an art gallery
of famous jurists and justices of the
state, celebrated both by reason of the
painters who made them and the men
who posed before the canvas.

Decoration day, public and ceremonial
demonstrations, to keep the insignia
ball rolling. Then the military and
naval academies now demand superior
equipment for their ranking officers. In
foreign countries the court and con-
tingent ceremonies make much call for
orders and decorations. Paris has al
ways led in such matters, but the
work is much better paid for in this
country, and the orders have been Law

1t was upon the 18th of May. 1903,
that Casa Calvo, being sent from
Havana for the purpose, jointly with
Gov Salcedo, proclaimed the coming
surrender of Louisiana and Its con-
templated terms, and they held them
selves in readiness for the hourly ex-
pected arrival of Gen. Victor. Instead
of him came rumor, painful to Laus-
sat, and incredible TO the Creoles, VINO
had so lately received the news of the
cession to France with the liveliest de-
light, and about the last of July, 1903,
a vessel from Bordeaux brought the
official announcement that on the 18th
of the preceding April Louisiana had
been purchased by tho United States.
The CessIon of Louisiana.
On the Both of October Congress au-
thorized the President to take possess
sion of the ceded territory. On the Goth
of Novem Der, with troops drawn up in
line in the Place d'Armes and with
discharges of artillery, Salcedo, in the
hall of the Cabildo, delivered to Laus-
sat the keys of New Orleans, and Casa
Calvo declared the people of Louisiana
absolved from their allegiance to the
King of Spain. From flagstaff in the
square the Spanish colors descended,
the French took their place and the
domination of Spain in Louisiana was
at an end.
On Monday, the goth of December,
1903, with similar ceremonies Laussat
turned the province and the keys of its
port over to Commissioners Claiborne
and Wilkinson. The French tri-color,
which had fioated over the Place d.
Armes for only 20 days, gave place to
the Stars and Stripes, and New Orleans
became an American town. The price
paid was $12,OOO,0O together with 49,
100000 for French spoliation claims.
The Louisiana Historical Society has
taken the initiative in the matter of
this unique reception to President Nc
Kinley, and the idea was accepted with
enthusiasm by the citizens of New Or
leans. A banquet will also be rendered

The shippers of New Orleans find in
Porto Rico a good market for rice.
The Californian, which arrived at
Ponce last week from New Orleans,
brought 5000 packages of rice, which
were disposed of very readily. Rice
