The Abbsville Extension.

We are told that as soon as tie
Abbeyiile extension Of the Southern
Pacific will have boon built, two
passenger and two freight trains will
be run daily, one passenger and n
freight to start respectively from
Eunice and from New Iberia. This
will insure much better service, for
there will be then no cause for de-
lays.
1t is to be hoped that in the near
future the line will be extended north
to Alexandria, thus giving US north
ern connections. The gap between
this place and Lake Charles will no
be closed before many months.
In the mean time our connections
east will be at New Iberia, and when
going west at Midland Junction,
where hotel Accommodations will
have to be established, Crowley will
be oUr headquarters no longer, All
the little towus along the auxiliary
line will now have to stand strictly on
their merits. News.

The Awful Heat Wave.

During the past ten days q heat
wave of terrific intensity has swept
over the United States, and the death,
disaster aud suffering which has fol-
lowed it IS frightful beyond comparis-
on. In Kansas the temperature was
lO8 degrees ia the shade and the awful
hot winds which blow there haze al
most destroyed the cora crop. In
New York the death rate has gone
into the hundreds and prostrstions
ere too numerous TO record. All
business employing horses was nearly
suspended owing to the terrible hea~
and %prostration Of the animals In
all this We can find comfort in the
fact that here IN Louisiana the wealth
.er has not been insupportable. Ia.
fact 80 degrees was the highest re-
cord in Abbeville.

It is probably true that almost

which would draw some woman to

task which a very well-known author,
under the nom-de-plume of Rafford

During the past heated term the

from lightning. Last Monday in

had taken refuge under q wharf dur

Salt Water in the Bayou.

This year a rather rare phenome-

witnessed before by some Of the old
residents. It is nothing more or
less than the presence Of salt water
from the Gulf Of Mexico in Bayou
Nermilion. We are reliably inform
ed that this week the water was
salty in the bayou as high up as the
old Gerard Decuir place where Vol

arc told that the salt water came up

NEW YORh, July 9.-After eight
years OF work on the mortality records
of SOS, 600 persons the actuaries of Eng
land and Scotland declare that the
average length of human life Is increaS-
ing.
This agrees with the conclusions CT
the great American companies. me
Mutual Life Insurance Company, OF
New York, by far the largest and
strongest institution of the kind In the
world, demonstrated some years ago
that the average duration Of human HE
has increased notably over h 1t was
in America at the beginning OF the nine
teenth century. Officers OF the Mutual
say its records Of more than a million
lives on which the company has writ
ten insurance, If analysed to-day, would
undoubtedly show the same result as Is
set forth by the British investigation.
The Mutual Life reports an increasing
demand for investment insurance, par
ticularly for its five per cent gold bond
policies, which, apart from the protec-
ton they give, yield a much larger net
return thar government bonds and are
lust as safe. Because Of this profit they
meet popular favor, as well as because
of the lower premium and higher guar
antee OF the Mutual.
