IMPRESSIVE CHURCH MUSIC.
Organ Selection by John Evans, Re-
Gently Graduated.

At the First Presbyterian church SER
vices yesterday morning, John Evans
presided at the organ. His playing was
an evidence that his training at the
New England Conservatory of Music

offertory.
Mr.. Evans has a fine technique, and
the volume of sweet melody which he
occasioned was delightful. The friends
OF this young man are warm in their
expressions of compliment to his skill,
and they feel that he gives promise of
bright musical future.

ACADIANS IN LOUISIANA
Statements Made at a Meeting of the
State Historical Society.

From the New Orleans Picayune
Many members were present Wednesday
night at the meeting of the Louisiana His
torical Society in Tulane Hall, Prof. Alcee
Fortier president, occupying the chair.
Miss Grace King, secretary, and Prof.
Charles G. Gill, assistant secretary. were at
the desk
Professor Fortier read a paper on THE
Acadians of New Brunswick" from fnfor-
nation furnished him in letter from Mr..
Prudent L. Mercure Of New Brunswick.
There are about $4,000 Acadians in New
Brunswick, and about $1,000 of them have
gone from Canada. They are found in
great numbers in the counties of West
| moreland and Kent Much of the original
idiom has been retained by them. They
are very charitable, patriotic, hosptable
and devoted people. They are tenacious of
their ancestral principles, and it is with
some difficulty that they consent to learn
the English language.
Mr.. Mercure asked Professor Fortier In
his letter, number Of questions about the
AcadianS of Louisiana; how many there
are In this state, how many families of
Acadian descent, etc. Professor Fortier re-
marked that he could not furnish the in
formation except in a general way, and he
asked Mr.. Joseph A. BreauX, associate JUS
tice of the Louisiana supreme court, who
was present at the meeting, if he could
throw any light on the question.
Miss King suggested that perhaps Justice
BreauX would consent to read a paper be-
fore the society at its next meeting rela-
tive to the Acadians of Louisiana.
Mr. Breaux said that he would be very
willing to accede to the request but for

Bell Boy and Governor.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean
For the first time in a good many years
A. t. Bliss, governor of Michigan, heard
himself called an uncomplimentary nama
last night without resenting IT. The person
to give the affront was a bell boy at the
Palmer House. The governor stood aghast
for moment, and those who witnessed the
AFFAIR expected him to chastIse the offender
Instead he shook hands with, him and told
him he was ''all right"
The chief executive Of the wolverine state
had tried to Joke with the boy In buttons.
The latter thought he was in earnest A
discourteous retort leaped to the latter g
lips, but he restrained himself and turned
away.
why don't you answer me- young man 20
persisted the governor, stu bent on having
his little joke. Don't You know that it is
your duty to pay attention to what the
guests OF this hotel say to your"
Il don't need to have you tell me my

way, that I'm not paid to stand here chew
ing the rag with interfering. meddlesome
old women like you"
The boy turned his back on the governor
and marched off. When Mr.. Bliss had re-
covered his breath he started after him,
and in three long strides was at his side
Shake, young man, shake; you're all
right" said he, extending his hand. You
called the turn on me better than it's been
done since the day they elected me governor
of my state"

crate there and burn it, he said.
l was not prepared for such a suggestion.
similar idea had occurred to me, but l
feared to suggest to him such mode of
defeating the ends of justice.
But if l do that will you give me a VOW
of secrecy?" 1 asked quickly. ''Recollect
that such step is a serious offense against
the law
When 1 pass out of this room I shall
have no further recollection of ever having
seen any letters" he answered, again CIV
ing me his hand. "In this matter my desire
is only to help you. If, as you believe,
Ethelwynn Is innocent, then no harm can
be done in destroying the letters whereas
If she is actually the assassin she must,
sooner or later, betray her guilt. A woman
may be clever, but she can never success
fully cover the crime of murder
Then you are willing that |, as finder
of those letters, shall burn them. And
further, that no word shall pass regarding
this discovery?''
Most willing" he replied. Come" he
added, commencing to gather them to-
gether. Let US lose no time, or perhaps
the constable on duty below or one of the
plain-clothes men may come prying in
here"
Then at his direction and with his assist
ance L willingly tore up each letter in small
pieces, placed the whole in the crate where
dead cinders still remained, and with a
vesta set light to them. For a few mo-
ments they blazed f1ercely up the chimney,
then died out, leaving only black finder.
I'VE must make feint Of having tried
to light the fire." said Jevons, taking an old
newspaper, twisting it up, and setting light
to it in the CRATE, afterward stirring up the
dead finder with the finder of the letters.
'fIll remark incidentally to the constable
that we've tried to get a fire, and didn't
succeed. That will prevent Thorpe poking
his nose into It."
So when the whole Of the letters had been
destroyed, any traces of their remains eff
faced and the safe relocked, we went down.

had made a sfactory explanation to the
constable and entirely mised him as to

~ its next meeting more than he knew at
the present time.
The Acadians were former settlers of
round In large numbers in the Teche coun-
try. and perhaps they would not like being
called now Acadians. but rather piqued
themselves on being American citizens. Jus
i've Breaux further remarked that the ques-

should not be discussed too particularly but
rather the question OF good citizenship and
OF individual etiort to At ones self to the

Passing from the local view Of the SUBJ
5ect under discussion, Justice Breaux gave
a very interesting account of recent tour
he made In New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia among the descendants of the Aca-
dams. He cited names Of families In New
Brunswick which are the same as some
family names in the Teche region of Louis
lana. For instance, the Landrys and the
Arcenauxs whose memberssare prominent
citizens of New Brunswick; men OF educa-
ton and intelligence, and who are as much
at home with the English language as with
the French. One Of them, Mr.. Landry. is
associate justice of the supreme court OF
New Brunswick, and was elected TO that
high position by the English-speaking peo-
pie of the country, showing that he must
be man of learning and of great popular
ity. The Acadians of New Brunswick are
very pious and upright people, and they
The Rev. Mr.. Widner S. j., was asked by
Professor Fortier If he could give any IN
formation about the Acadians of the Teche
country.
Father Widner replied that there are two
families in the Teche region who are said
to have descended from the originals or
Longfellow's poem of "Evangelne. The
local tradition differs somewhat from the
legend as told by Longfellow in regard TO
the manner of the heroines death. The
story goes that, after FIVE years of wander

of the women of that locality, and that
