a DISGRACE. J.

Is. + & @ \
The City Council Of New Or.
leans has passed an ordinance III
which all private markets must be
closed and peddHng discontinued,
So unpopular has become the or
dinance that the people Of New
Orleans beaded by its prominent
citizens and assisted by the Cot
ton, Rice and Produce Exchanges
have introduced strong resolutions
condemning this infamous law.
The Times-Democrat, always ready
to lend aid to the oppressed has
enlisted in this war of humanity
and is waginge with all its might
and power a crusade against the
Council and its obnovious ordi-
nances. The closing of private
markets will bring suffering to hum
dreds Of poor people, as such a law
IS class legislation. of the vilest
grade. The Advertiser is in SYM
pathy with the people Of New Or
leans and hope that the pressure
brought forth will force the Coun-
Gil to repeal this bad and objec-
tionsble law.

SALARY AND SUCCESS
OF. THE TEACHER

Many teacher does a glorious
work in the schoolroom and re-
ceives but small pecuniary re-
ward. No laborer in this world is
to be more highly h honored than
the teacher in the county school
who does really serious work,
and who continues to do it with
no hope Of an increased compen-
sation. There is no hope that he
will become in time highly paid
superintendent; he is not expect
ing this result; he is happy to be
OF the benefit which he feels he is
to the boys and girls who assemble
in the sehoolhouse with him.
Such a man, if he arrives at the
point in teaching that he does
more than the routine work, is able
to affect the spiritual nature OF the
pupil, may claim to be successful,
no matter what his salary. The

WELL DONE.

The Advertiser is proud Of the
fact that the voters Of this parish
needed its advice and settled to
nearly maximum the poll tax OF
1900. The sheriff's S books show
1903 poll tax receipts leaving SIS
registered voters having failed pay
ing the tax, in this latter number

and the Advertiser congratulates

towards saving their rights Of suf-
frage.

MUST MARRY OR PAY TAX.

We have been informed that
bill will be introduced in the next
Legislature and probably adopt
ed which will be directed against
ungained bachelors over the age
of thirty years.
It is said that the celibacy Of a
man is always Of his own volition
while that of woman, in the
greatest number Of cases is alto
gether involuntary.
The bill proposes to levy an an
nual tax Of $50 ou bachelors Of q
certain age to conterbalance the
expenses Of household or the in
conveniences Of a short tempered
mother-in-law.
Whether this will prove crafty
ing news to marriageable girls, we
do not know but the fact remains
THAT thebi.l will be pushed through
1 with the result that either the re-
venues Of the State will be conside-
]rably increased Of more marriages
will take place.
We feel sure that the author q
!, this proposed law is destined to be
come the most popular man in the

Mr.. EDITOR:

Lafayette, La. Jan. 10th. 1901
Mr.. EDITOR:
After reading Mr.. P. A. Viller-
min S communication in the last
issue Of the Advertiser, | quite
agree with him that lit i'll be-
comes him as "a VENDOR of the
spirituous to comment on the ac-
ton Of the town Council of Lafa-
yettc' concerning high-license.
And | might add that it is pre-
sumptuous on his part to indicate
to the local authorities the manner
Of conducting the affairs OF this
municipality, in view OF the fact
that he is resident Of New Or
leans and that his only interest in
Lafayette is the amount of cash he
can take out Of the town for the
wholesale liquor house which he
represents.
On the other hand we find that
the resident business men and pro-
fessional med Of Lafayette, are un-
animously in favor of high-license
as good public policy, for high
license IS known to work to the
advantage Of every community
wherever tried, and Lafayette is
not going to be an exception to
the rule
AS regards the revenue which
Mr.. Villermin informs us 1afa-
yette, badly needs he should
not feel an undue anxiety, for with
the three saloons already open the
town is deriving a greater revenue
than from the FOURTEEN saloons
formerly in existence here, to say
nothing Of the other and, more
important benefits that will follow
as 4 natural result of a wholesome
restriction Of the liquor traffic in
our community
High license IS all right and now
that we have il, the entire popula-
lion of Lafayette are not going to
90 backward by giving up such !
good thing As high-license has al
ways proven itself to Be, merely tc

Special to the Register.

WASHINGTON. D. c., April THE Ag-
ricultural Department has issued a report
on the work and expenditures of agricul-
tural experiment stations for 1900, which
contains a summary of the work done at
the West Virginia station at Morgantown.
The income of this station during the
year was SO, 1G7, of which $4,000 was the
federal appropriation and s5,IlS in fees.
The report mentions the experiments I'm

by subjecting them to hydraulic pressure.

practical value The report continues:
West Virginia offers an inviting field

been but little developed. The station is
now doing all in its power to aid in this
LEGATIONS at the station and by co-opera-
tive experiments at various points in the
State. In the latter way the station has
come into very cordial relations with the
fruit growers about the State. and is using
their orchards quite largely for expert
mental purposes. The forestry interests
of the State are very important, and are
receiving attention at the hands of the
station along the unique line of investiga-
ton of insects injurious TO forests or forest
products These Investigations have al
ready yielded results Of great practical
value.
THE purchase of the new station farm
has rendered possible the organization of
field and feeding experiments on a larger
scale and along more satisfactory lines.
Station officers have attended number
of farmers institutes. On the whole, the
condition of the West Virginia station has
very materially improved, and there are
many evidences of the utility of its work.
Its influence is broadening. especially
among the fruit growers, and the less con-
servative formers are following its teach

CHARGED HIS WIFE
With Obtaining Money Under False
Pretences, and Causea
Her Arrest.
Doherty, an English Ticket-Of-
Leave Mantle Shot and Killed
Geo. VI. Graham, of New York,
Fifteen Years Ago.

CHICAGO, April 7.-Daniel f. Do
herty, an English ticket-of-leave man.
who is we'll known in gambling resorts
of New York and London has caused
the arrest here of his former wife, Mary
Doherty, whom he charges with OBJ
tanning money from him under false
pretenses.
Fifteen years ago, in London, Do
herty shot and killed Col George M.
Graham, of New York, following a dis
pute over poker game that began on
a transatlantic liner and was con-
tinued at the Churchill club in Picca-
dilly. Doherty was sentenced TO life
imprisonment and was confined at
Dartmouth until 1899 when he was re-
leased on a ticket of leave.
Doherty bases his charge against his
former wife upon allegations that she
secured a divorce from him while he
was in prison, but withheld the fact
from him and continued to take money
from him for her maintenance. He
alleges that since she obtained a di-
vorce from him in Philadelphia in
October, 1886, she has had from him
about $1,000. He also states that when
he went to prison he gave her over
$4,000
Mrs Doherty's friends maintain that
the divorce was not secured until a
few months ago and that since being
separated from him she has had no
money from him. Mrs. Doherty has
been released under bonds

LITTLE PROBABILITY
THAT ENGLISH BUYERS
AMOUNT OF THE BIG STEEL
SECURITIES.
To-DAY's STOCK MARKETS
WILL DOUBTLESS POSSESS MORE
THAN PASSING INTEREST.
The New York Evening Post, in a
Conservative and Careful Article,
Points Out the Dangers of the
Present Situation Regards the
stock Market-A Warning From a
Responsible Source worthy of
Careful Consideration.

LONDON, April THE Stock Ey-
change was closed again to-day, and
will be closed on Easter Monday
Among the events on this week S
market, the attempt to introduce the
shares Of the American Steel combin-
alton on the London Stock Exchange is
perhaps worthy of note. The move.
however, excites very little interest
here. Such trading as there has been
in the shares has been confined to an
extreme narrow circle, though that
circle comprised some of the larger
dealers. The trading was led by Nor
gan brokers, Marks, Bulteel & Co.
If the British public is to be reused
to any enthusiasm over these creations.
good deal of time will be required
for the Task. If it is the hope of the
New York promoters that London will
relieve the American market of any
considerable part of the load, they
will probably be disappointed.
