The Cabildo at New Orleans,
which is to be reproduced at the
Worlds Fair for use at the Louis
lana State building, was built in
1894. A wealthy Andalusian who
had made his fortune in Louisiana,
chose to spend it in his old age
erecting public buildings. His
name was Andreas Almonaster y
Roxas. The Cablldo, or town hall,
a we'll preserved building to this
day, has its chief historical interest
in the fact that within it's walls the
transfer of dominion of the Louis
lana territory from Spain to France
and from France to the United

TINY TOTS LONG JOURNEY.
Sent From Portugal to Tell Their Father
He Is Widowed.

Two children direct from Portugal
passed through Union Station Friday
morning bearing tidings of their mother s
murder to the father in far-away Hawaii.
They are travelling distance OF 5000
miles.
The little ones reached st. Louis at s
O'Clock. They were delivered to Matron
Hunter by the trainmen. On the boy 8
coat was a tag bearing this information:
Antonio de Nasemiento and sister.
Marie Zulmida Evangelina. Billed to G..
s. Bell, 65 Jackson street. San Francisco.
The other side of the card bore the
advertisement OF a steamship company.
The boy is apparently years old and
the girl 4. Neither can speak nor under
stand word of English.
Pinned to their ticket Is an order from
the Eastern representative OF j d.
Spreckles & Bro. for transportation from
San Francisco to Honolulu. A note says
the father. Antonio. works on a Spreckles
sugar plantation. and that he does not
know of the coming of the children.
An Interpreter was found TO read the
letter the boy carried. II stated that
Anita had met death at the hands OF
Guido, and that masses had been paid for
the repose OF her soul. The children are
sent to the father because the writer be-
lieves when he hears the news he will
never return to Portugal. The paper is
signed NJ.

morning Wabash train for Kansas City

WHAT he DID WITH IT.
street Cnr Employe Who Knew the
Value of Money.


Not long ago a director of the stree,
railway company. who was unknown to
most of the employees. came TO Kansas
City TO look over the roads. He thought
he would speak TO some OF the men TO
find out how they liked the treatment
they were getting from the company. Ac-
coriingly he got on a cable car and be-
gan to question the gripman.
How do you like TO work for the COM
pany?" he asked.
Pretty we'll" answered the man at the
lever.
How much do you make a month";"
About s55.''
What do you do with II ALP
"oh. pay grocery bills. butchers bills,
and support myself and family"
What do you do with the rest
Il buy shoes for the children and books,
so they can go to school"
What do you do with the rest OF IL ?"
We'll l have 10 pay rent. of course"
the persistent questioner.
Il pay doctors bills, because. you
know. people get sick sometimes"
But. surely ventured the director
again, that can't take all your salary.
What do you do with the rest"
We'll, I'll tell you" whispered the grip
man, confdentinlly. ''thc rest | pack In
barrels and store away in the cellar"
The director got off at the next cross
hind, who also had barrels in his cellar,
only winked at the gripman and smiled
ympathetically.-K City Star.

FORBIDDEN TO CATHOLICS.
A ROok by Pope Leo on the Index
ExpurgatOrius.


That Pope's book should be found on
the list of books which Catholics are for
hidden by their church to have, hold. or
read, otherwise on the Index Expurgato-
rius, would seem to the layman to be
extraordinary enough, and the fact that
the present Pontiff should have been the
condemned author only serves to empha
size the mystery.
IN 1874, when Leo XIII was Joachim
Pecci, Cardinal Archbishop of Perugia, he
wrote a book, the translated title Of
which reads: '0n the Most Sacred Blood
OF Mary. Essay Showing Why We Should
Have Festival for the Same The Con-
gregaticn of the Index took exception to
one of the arguments put forward by the
erudite author. and accordingly condemn
ed his book, the author and title of his
work being put upon the Index Expurga-
torius in 1875. They thus continued in
successive editions until 1878. but always
with he afiix 'Laudabiliter Sc subject ct
opus reprobavit,' which means He lauda-
bly, submitted and retracted his work"
This is the phrase used by the Congrega
ticn to tell that a disciplined author has
bowed to the superior authority OF the
church.
In 1878 Cardinal Pecci was elected Pope
in succession to Pho Mono. and since then
tHt dutHoi . HdiHe, oat NV tue titie - ms
concession was made TO avoid giving scan
dal to nom Catholics rather than TO shield
the learned and iIlustrious author. AS
matter of fact, Pope Leo XIII might, had
he wished, have dropped all record from
the Index and SO re-established the work
In theological favor, but he had volun-
tarily recanted, and he chose to hold by
his recantation. In this connection ii is
as well to bear in mind that the decisions
Of the Congregation of the Index are not
held TO be infallible.-London Express.

THE BAGGAGE PAD.
The "Smasher" Is Gradually Being Put
Ont of Business.

Baggage must be trucked and not
rolled. and in unloading it from truck
pad must be used" Ten years ago you
would have gone a long way to find such
a rule in baggage room, but this legend
in bold type now stares at the truckme1
employed at the union station in Omaha,
says the Bee" of that city. The pad
is a huge stuffed floor mat. which ;he
truckmen call feather bed" II is very
long and very wide. and is stuffed soi!diy
with hair and covered with three thick
nesses of the heaviest canvas ducking.
There is absolutely no deviation from the
rule. Indeed, the sound of trunk falling
upon the floor is good as the gong that
sounds the discharge of the man handling
1t. As a result of this strictness the pads
are used so assiduously that they are
worn out in a short time. But the clause
which provides that baggage shall be
trucked. not rolled. is a big feature. The
difference in the wear and tear on a trunk
when IL is zig-zagged bumptey- bump
thirty of forty yards over wood and stone.
and when it is hauled the same distance
on a wheeled truck, can be readily under
stood.
There is another modern rule; one that
baggage in bad order should be repaired
promptly and held for that purpose when
necessary. If for outgoing trains But
the betterment of the baggage service has
been more strikingly shown in the details
OF the work than in its delicacies Nor
is baggage lost any more, even .npor-
arily, save on rare occasions, when it is
usually traced and found Every man in
the room has his specified duties. There
are truckmen, checkmen. mailmen. and
all SO designated on their
caps.
Almost entire immunity from loss re-
suits from the adoption of a new system
of checking which has been gradually in
troduced for some two years past on the
Western railroads. The old brass checks
are being abolished rapidly as possible
for paper ones. The brass checks car
ried merely the name OF the railroad and
the check number. A complete record of
the property is now kept with con-
secutively numbered checks. The sub
division of the different styles OF bag
gage is one secret of the new scheme and

the warden.

''Zebulon," said the warden shortly.

The warden slept late the next morn

came and shook him roughly by the
1 shoulder. She was crying, and so was
the child clinging to her skirts.

What's tn matter?" yawned the
warden sleepily.
Tibet moonshiner's killed Tom an
broke out!" cried the woman.
The warden leaped from his bed and
clad only In his night shirt, ran hur-
riedly through the house and up into
the Jail.
On the floor in front of cell 81 he
found the keeper lying dead. The old
mans face was purple and about his
throat was the imprint of fingers. The
door of the cell was open.
Gods mercy!" cried the warden.
Who'd thought it? Thet Teller wuz
jest as peaceable as a lamb"
The man had been the only prisoner
on the tier and he had been so docile
and quiet that in his case the usual
discipline had been relaxed. The door
of his cell was never locked when the
keeper was in the corridor.
Within an hour the warden had or
ganized a posse to hunt for the miss
ing prisoner. Two of the men brought
bloodhounds.

In spite of this they took the dogs.
The men were on horseback and for
the first five milth they had no diff
Guilty in following the animals. The
dogs ran straight, their noses close to
the ground. The trail was easy for
them to follow.
The cool, brisk air of the October
woods, fragrant with pine and balsam,
made no impression of these men.
They were hunting a human being, a
murderer. Two or three suggested
that it would be good thing to hang
him as soon as he was caught.

The others gave sullen assent.

clear fall air in sharp lines, stood
small log cabin.
He all lives thar" said one of the
party in a whisper.
The dogs tugged harder on their
chains.
WED better go kinder quiet" sug-
gested the warden. 'Mebbe he's got a
gum"
Slowly the men made their way to-
ward the house. From the place there
came no sound. The men came nearer
and nearer. Two or three drew pistols
and held them ready for instant use.
The warden, closely followed by his
posse, finally stood in the doorway of
the little cabin. The sunlight stream
ing through the open window fell on
the figure of the fugitive sitting with
bowed head beside a tumbled bed on
which lay the dead bodies of a mother
and child. The man looked up dream.
