The Benedictlne Fathers are

their Seminary, on the former

ings, including college building,
monastery and workshops for the

l29x48 feet, each three stories
high. The sight is a magnificent
and picturesque one, and is on the
Begue Falaya river, on high and
extensive ridge in the center of a
100 acre tract of land.
The fathers have their own saw.
mill and make their own lumber
from timber taken from their own
land, and a large number of the
carpenters and workmen engaged
in the construction of the building
are brothers. The work is being
pushed vigorously and the fathers
hope to have the main buildings
completed on Nov. l. The col.
lege will be made the headquarters
of the society, which is now in
Gessen. This college will be
seminary and will accommodate
about seventy students, twenty
priests and thirty-tive brothers.
The Rev. Father Paul, superior
of the society in Gessen, is super
intending the work Of construction,
and when all of the buildings are
completed they will cove, an area

We have received the new cata-
logue Of the Tulane University OF
Louisiana, in New Orleans. just
issued from the University Press.
An examination of Its contents
show that the year just closed has
been one of the most notable and
successful in the development Of
the University. The teaching force
and The attendance have been the
largest in all her history, being sc
teachers aud 1928 students. The
opening OF the Gormitories during
the year has filled long needed
want. and makes it now possible for
a student to attend the Universit,
at a minimum cost. Its estimated
that $40 will pay the expenses Of
a scholarship student in the acad-
emic department for session, and
the Bureau OF SeIf-Help will do all
in its power to assist students of
limited means I'd hel p pay their way
through. There are large number
OF scholarships open to Louisiana
boys, and it is the declared policy
OF the University, tina: in the acad-
emic colleges, no boy if properly
prepared for college work, will be
turned away from inability to pay
tuition. We note that the attend
ance OF students from the country
parishes is steadily increasing. We
call attention Of our readers to the
advertisement of the University in
another column.

Fatal Burning.

Mrs. C.. S. San iers, wife of the agent
of the New Orleans and Northeastern
Railroad Company, at Pearl River sta
ton, was fatally burned last Wednes.
day morning.
1t appears that she was standing near
washpot, in which some clothes were
being boiled; her clothing accidental,
cought fire and she was burned before
assistance could reach her.
The railroad company placed an
engine at Mr.. Sanders disposal, and DIR.
Polk, of Slidell, was hastily conveyed TO
Pearl River to minister to the unfortu-
nate lady.
Size was placed on a train for the
city, but died before reaching there
Her remains were taken to Meridian
for interment. The deceased had many
friends in Covington, who sincerely re-
greet to hear of her untimely death, aud
sympathize with her husband and
two children in their bereavement.

When the speed of a railroad
train becomes greater than they
are accustomed to, the more timid
passengers always wonder wha,
will happen to them in case an
accident occurs. That there
would be fair. chance of their es.
Gaping alive is shown by the ex
perience of a train on the Rock
Island road, which left the track
while running at a speed of more
than seventy miles hour. The
ties were torn up for nearly mile
before the speed could be checked,
and some of the cars were damaged,
but nobody was seriously injured.
The road, however, probably will
not advertise this incident to show
the safety of travel over it..

About Sugar.

''Sugar is one Of the most favor
able revenue producers because it
is not necessity OF life, but is a
luxury, and only those people who
are able need buy it. Why, then,
should the tariff on sugar be with
drawn, and the sugar of Europe,
Asia and tropical America be turned
loose, free from duty, into the
United States, while half million
Of our own people would be reduced
to ruin and despair by such a
wanton act! Why should our own
people be destroyed for the benefit
Of any foreigners"
The above is an extract from a
recent editorial in the New Orleans
Picaynne. While we are strongly
in favor Of protecting home INDUS
tries, and giving them every oppor-
tunlty to develop, at least until they
can supply the home demand and
have surplus for export to foreign
markets, still we must take issue
with the Picayune when it says
sugar il mot u necessity of life, but
a luxury, and only those people who
are able need buy it, A hundred
and fifty years ago sugar was q
luxury" seen only on the tables
Of the rich, but in this enlightened
age, when the laborer is not entirely
an unthinking machine, but possess
es intellectual traits which prompt
him to provide for himself and
family with an eye to their health
and comfort, and even pleasure,
sugar has grown to be a prime ne
cessity. 1t is found in the homes
Of tue mental as well as the million
aire, and is not looked upon as
luxury, but necessity in the bill
Of fare, as much so as salt, or any
Of the ingredients which tend to
make the meals of the laborer palata-
BILE and nourish,ng. A. strength
givcr there is no article Of food that
excels sugar. And this with the
morning OF evening tea or coffee,
has become indispensable in the
family of the work people through
out the len 9Th ond breadth of the
land. II "only those people who
are able need buy IT," then i: should
be regulated in price so as to be
within the reach of the humblest
laborer in the land, for the comfort
of himself, his wife and children.
Instead OF being luxury sugar is
an actual necessity, and we are as
tonished to zee that it should he
regarded in any other light.
