REV. McCLARY's LECTURE
Addressed an Audience in the Corn
Palace Sunday Morning and
Was Highly Interesting

Religious services we're held in the
corn palace at which an address was
delivered BIZ Rev. Thos. McClary, Of
Minneapolis. The services were
opened with prayer by Prof. Theo-
|dore Graham. of the University, and
the scriptures were read by Mr.. Nc
Clary. Audience sang Nearer My God
to Thee and a sacred solo was sung
by Virgil Boyles that was rendered
in an excellent manner. Tie Epis-
copal choir was unable to appear on
account of the illness Of Mrs. Law
renee Grace.
The speaker was introduced to the
audience, which numbered about
400, by Prof. Graham. Mr. McClary
spoke on Sunshine in Labor. z 1t
was one of the most interesting and
profitable addresses that we have
listened to in some time, and the
truths that the lecturer gave forth
could be taken home by practically
every one in the audience. The illus
oidoloho hS uoCSe NSIC lul GC "a dppllCdUlCs
to his subject and served to impress
the thought more indelibly on the
minds of the listeners. His discus
sion of the handling of the laborers,
Of making life an easier road to travel
was splendid presentation. His
suggestions along the line of one TAX
ing along little happiness with the
labor of life were good enough to be
thought of every day, and were they
followed out within a partial small
degree things would be more pleasant
in labor. Rev. McClary is a splendid
speaker and there was not person
in the audience but who enjoyed his
address to the full. At the close the
audience joined in singing the nation
al hymn.

Description OF Decorations.

On entering the stairway on the
south part of the building the Wing
field-Connelly Business College has
planned very attractive booth with
samples of the work in the penman-
ship department.. A pretty scroll is
made of grains and straws detailing
the course of studies in the college.
Two typewriters make it apparent
that the art is taught there. The
work OF decorating was done by
Mrs. Connolly, Miss Brown and Bur-
ton O'Mealey.
Visions Of boyhood days are brought
back Of the old country store as one
proceeds along the gallery by seeing
that institution wrought out in very
fine shape. The proprietor is clothed
in corn husks and stands behind the
counter in waiting upon a lady Gus
toner, whose dress is made of husks
and the heads of pampas grass. About
everything that could be found in a
cross roads grocery is here displayed
and put up in just the same old way.
The floor is made Of sugar cane and
the counters and the chairs and desk
are covered with grains and grasses.
Over the desk hangs an old musket
and powder flask. Over the rafters
are hung various articles in the way Of
shoes, dried apples on strings, etc. In
one side Of the room is the post office
with the boxes filled with letters.
Around the room are hung signs,
for instance: "possibly no credit"
fish is fresh,'' mo loafing aloud, =
and on bunch of handkerchiefs is
sign that says they are 40 cts a
piece, or 2 for cents.'' 1t was a
very happy idea and was wrought
out in splendid shape. Mrs. d. w.
Burright had charge of the booth and
she was assisted in the work of dec
Grating by Mrs. Geo. n. Rev, Miss
Craig, Mrs. A. e. Hitchcock, Mrs.
Jay Dundass, Mrs. Ed. Leehan, anC
Mrs. G G. Rathbun.

The game Of baseball between
Ihlbodaux and our home BOYS
Friday afternoon was the prettiest
snappiest and best played game
played in New Iberia in a lone
time. Both sides together made
only three runs during the entire
game and they were made on
errors. The spectators were wild
with excitement from beginning to
end, and the result was doubtful
throughout the game.
Thibodaux made two runs in
the first inning and then thatteam
did not reach the home plate again,
making eight goose eggs in success
sion New Iberia did not score I'M.
til the sixth inning, and then
making only one run, and never
scoring again. The feature of the
game was the brilliant field work
OF Earl Hine, who was cheered re-
peatedly, by the enthusiastic and
wild crowd.

BASE BALL.


more general interest III this com
munity this season than ever be-
fore. New Iberia boasts OF two
very clever Clubs-one composed
of adults of very clever playing
abilities, and the other composed
Of younger men, who style them
selves the Juniors.
Both clubs, while they have met
with varying successes in their
contests for honors with the teams
OF neighboring towns, have Won
for themselves and their home
place much renown. The New
Iberia team (the Seniors. met the
Lake Charles team last Sunday at
the Iberia Park. The latter lost
her grip and returned home leav-.
ing the honors of the contest to
the New Iberia boys.
On Wednesday of this week a
very interesting game was played
between the teams of ThibOdaux
and New Iberia. /. was made the
occasion Of the opening of the
New Base Ball Park, on jefferson
street The attendance was large
and all manifested a deep interest
in the game in fact it was one of
the prettiest games OF base ball
ever played here. The teams
were of very even strength and it
was only by the very cleverest of
work that our boys saved the day
to their honor. BY reference to
the score, published elsewhere in
this issue, it will be seen that our
boys made one run in the End inn
ings and three in the 4th, while
| IhibodauX made only two runs.
These two were made in the 9TH
inning.
In the opening of the 9th inning
things assumed a very interesting
shape. The Thihodaux team had
two out with one man on third
and another on second. A sky
scraper was sent into the field by
a Thibodaux batter that would
certainly have brought the tw,
men home safely had net Earl
Hine been on the spot.
i The Base Ball game at the park
last Sunday between Franklin
and New Iberia, resulted in the
crushing defeat of our home

Iplayers III our nine, but we hap
pened to be deficient in the most
important members. The home
boys are not discouraged vet, in
the least, and are wiling to play
again with almost any team that

AND HYDE

NEW YORK, April 12,-It was dis.
covered this morning that George T.
Howard living at Redwood with wife
and son and belonging to the smart
set and posing as a tea and coffee
merchant, is common thief. His
house and barns were searched today
and all kinds of stolen material was
found therein. Road wagons on the
porch, sleighs in the hall, horses in
the barn, and fourteen rooms filled
with all kinds of rich goods from fine
laces to steel stoves. Vans are cart
ing the stuff away. Howard his wife
and son have been arrested. They
took their capture very calmly. Mrs.
Howard is composed and declared that
they had pretty good time while it
lasted. Howard is very polite and
says he will give the police all the aid
in his power in this very unfortunate
business.
