upon to have an official souvenir for
distribution. Accordingly committees
on literature for the enoampment was
appointed. the Craftsmanship OF which
was given to Gen. Thomas NJ. Vincent.

members: Mr.. Allen D. Albert, jr., Mrs.
Isabelle W. Ball, Dr. Marcus Benjamin.

Cox Gen. ~ W. Greely. DR.. Charles
Moore, Mr. James F. Hood, Mr.. A. J..

The committee, after carefully con-
sidering the matter, decided that it
would be best to prepare book which
would properly give history of the city
or Washington during the war period.
They arranged a list cf subjects to be
written by the persons whom they con-
sidered most comr etent TO prepare them,
preference being given those who for

MCCOY INDICTED
For Criminal Assault-Trial
Fix for Monday, Dec. 8.

Acting under a special order of
Judge Debaillon the grand jury
met last Monday to investigate
the charge of rape against the
negro, Daniel Mccoy. The fol-
lowing gentlemen composed the
jury: Harrison Theall, foreman:
Alfred D. Breaux, Luc Leblanc,
Jean A. Begnaud, T. S. Single
ton, J. M. Jones, Cleobule Dou-
Get, J. Gilbert ST. Julien, Norbert
Reaux, Jr., Lucien S. BrOus-
sard, Albert Theall, Jasper
Spell
Three witnesses testified be-
fore the jury, and the evidence
was of such character that a
true bill was reported against
Mccoy in the afternoon.
Tuesday morning Mccoy was
brought into court to be ar
raigned. In answer to ques-
ton from the court Mccoy said
that he was unable to employ
counsel. Judge Debaillon stated
that he would appoint Messrs.
Jno. L. Kennedy, Ralph Elliott
and Jerome Mouton to defend
the prisoner.
After the arraignment District
Attorney Campbell fixed the
trial of the case for Monday,
Dec. s.
1t is safe to say that Mccoy
will get legal trial. Due to the
efforts Of Sheriff Broussard, who
made several visits to the sec
Ond ward and advised the people
not to resort to lynching, and to
the action OF Judge Debaillon
and District Attorney Campbell
in calling a special term Of court
as soon as practicable, the law
will take it's course in this case.

himself as being highly pleased

\. Success.

~ 1toSN'SS-
The theatrical entertainment
given at the Industrial Institute
last Saturday was very we'll pa
tronized by the people of the
town. AS WAS announced in our
last issue the entertainment was
given by the fourth-year class to
raise money to help defray the
expenses of a trip to New Or
leans. The object of the visit to
that city is to see a Shakespeare
ian play presented by James and
Ward, who are among the re-
cOGpized masters of English
drama.
When DR.. Warner was at the
Institute last year he advised the
members of the fOurth-year class
to avail themselves of the first
opportunity to see a Shakes
pearian play. Acting upon the
advice proffered by the learned
divine the members of the class
decided to give the entertain
ment last Saturday, intending to
use the revenues toward paying
the expenses incurred by a trip
to the city. Under the direction
Of Miss Dupre, the teacher of
English at the Institute, the
boys and young ladies' of the
class made a success of their
undertaking. not only very cred
itably presenting two comedies,
but realizing over $50 in net
earnings. Those who will make
the trip to New Orleans are:
Miss Dupre, Misses AlmaGulley,
Rhena BoudreauX, Irma Voor
HES, Edith Trahan and Maxim
Beraud: POthier VOORHEES,, Will
lie Mills, Harold Demanade,
Harry Smedes, Willis Roy. They
leave to-day and will return to-
morrow. They will see James
and Ward in ''The Tempest'' to-
night at the Tulane.

to give the public the explanation OF
his action.
THE senator was really eager to
round out his life by active military
service, such as he rendered during the
civil war. and 1t was understood that
he would be sent to the front. But
after his appointment as a brigadier
had been announced the president sent
for him.

Senator Joseph Roswell Hawley OF
Connecticut is esteemed for his urban

his election to the senate Mr. Hawley
served his state and country in con-

years in the Union army, where he
rose to the rank Of major-general.
Not frequent speaker on the floor OF
the senate, he is a valued member OF
his party ON important committees,
and is responsible for much valuable
legislation.
Senator Hawley has been prominent
in politics in Connecticut since the
close of the civil war, and has held
many high positions. He has been
senator since 1881, his present term
expiring in 1905.

Public Opinion" says: For the
fourth time the house has adopted a
resolution favoring the election of
United States senators by popular or
direct vote Judging from the tone of
editorial opinion, there is little rea-
son to doubt that this change is ap-
proved by majority of the people.
Up to this time, however. the senators
have been singularly deaf to the pop
ular voice on this subject, some hav-
ing their hearing muffled by the fact
that they could never secure election
by popular vote, and others like Mr..
Hoar believing that the reasoning Of
the trainers of the constitution still
holds good and that one popularity
elected house is enough
