Closing OF T,lae stores.

We learn that there Is move
ment ON foot to have the stores
closed at Z o'clock in the evening
during the summer months.
The move Is a good one and de-
serves the support of every public
spirited citizen of 0pelousas. This
is not new thing; it is done in
Alexandria, Crowley, and several
other important and progressive
towns i'm the State-the "Back-
woodsian" idea that an enlightened
public demands longer hours from
the mercantile establishments
than from other business concerns
have been abolished.
During this season there is prac.
tically no business after dark, and
the poorclerks who work all winter
from daylight-and often before
daylight-to 10, Ii and II olock at
night should be given little
chance. Every other laborer only
gives 10 or II hours a day to his
employer, but the clerk must work
from Is to Is hours every day all
the year round. This is unfair
during the summer months, be-
cause it is unnecessary.
"A great number Of our young
men are clerks, and at night when
the stores are closed it is too late
to call on q young lady. What
wonder then that they congregate

school hoard Meeting.

The Board of Directors of public
schools met in regular session on
last Monday, and transacted CON
siderable business, the most I'M.
portant of which, however, being
the ordering of a general examina.
tion of all teachers throughout the
parish at a date to be set by the
State authorities. This examina-
tlon includes every applicant to
teach school In the parish, except
graduates of the Louisiana State
University d A. NJ. College aad
State Normal Sehool--recognized
State institutions. This action OF
the Board is to be commended. Tls
far better to close the school houses
than to have incompetent teachers
ruin, warp the minds of our chill
dren. 1t is safe to say that after
this general examination st. Lam
dry will stand foremost in the line
OF good, conscientious, worthy
teachers. We don't mean to say
that the parish is now deficient in
that line-on the contrary, as a
whole, the teachers now employed
by the board are somewhat above
the ayerage-but there are some
well, it's a crime to have them
teach the youths Of respectable,
Intelligent, country-and still they
hold certificates of qualification,
and the only way to weed out this
class of teaches on the already
short school funds was the order
ing of a general examination. We
congratulate the Board. It has
done it's duty.
The following resolutions We're
adopted, concerning the Chautan-
qua to be held in Lafayette on the
dates mentioned. Teachers from
this parish who attend this splendid
affair will doubtless receive prefer
ence when the appointments are
made for the next session:
BE itresolved, by the School Board Of
ST. Landry parish, that for the purpose
of encouraging attendance by the pub
lie school teachers of this parish upon
the second annual session of the South
Louisiana Chautauqua, to be held in La
fayette, La, for four weeks during the
month OF Junet it is hereby ordered that
the sum of ten dollars shall be refunded
by this Board to each teacher of this
parish who shall have attended the ses-
sion of the Chautauqua, and who shall
have successfully finished the four
weeks course of instruction and obtain
cd a certificate to that effect from the
Chautauqua Faculty. And 1t is further
ordered that to such among those who
attend as shall teach in this parish DUR
ing the next school term shall be paid
ten dollars in addition, making twenty
dollars in all.
ut il understood that the funds dis
barsed under this resolution shall be
taken from the wards from which the
teachers come.

A Session of Rowdyism.
lKansas City Star.l

Baileys exhibition of rowdyism in the
senate chamber yesterday would be dis
graceful enough under any circum-
stances but it is particularly bad as the
closing incident of a lawless session.
Since the term disgraced by Brooks as
sault on Sumner no such disorderly ses-
sion of congress is recalled. Strangely
enought the outbreaks have been con-
fined to the upper house.
Tillmans assault on McLaurin was
the first episode of the series. The SEN
ate's debate was interrupted by Till
man, who jumped over three desks at
his colleague. The .'pfurl, PUTT of
their fists was heard distinctly in the
gallery. Soon afterward McLaurin had
q dispute with a South Carolina politi-
clan in the lotunda of hotel which
ended by his knocking the man down.
The next incident was Senator Moneys
attempt to ride on street car without
a transfer. In resisting the conductors
efforts to put him off he carved the en-
ployes hand with his pocket knife. This
was recognized in police court as a bit
of senatorial privilege, and the case was
dropped. The same day Senator Clark
was overhauled by the police for speed
ing his automobile in Washington
above the statuatory limit. His chauf-
feur was fined in defiance of all sena-
torial courtesy. and the senator has
taken an appeal
few weeks ago venerable senator
got drunk while dining with lobbyist
and forced his way into the home of one
of the highest officers in the army.
He threw a marble statuette at the but
Ter and then smashed the hall bric-a-
brac until the police came. He was
taken to the station, but again senators
ial privilege came to the recue He was
released. and the newspapers with their
usual consideration, spared his name
from scandal. Now comes Bailey, who
attempts to choke a smaller man for re-
ferring to his attack on a state depart
ment Official as ..unwarranted.
1t is humi,iating for Americans to
read of such rowdyism. The senate can
hardly hope TO retain the respect of this
or of foreign countries if its members
are allowed to disregard the rules of
society. OF course, an occasional hood
lum will find his way into I'm elective
body But the senate ought not to con-
tinue helpness in the hands of the dis
orderly element The country has a
right to expject that its highest delib-
crate body will at least make vigor-
Gus attempt to prevent any repetition
of the humiilating episodes Of this last
session.

70 BREAK The STRIKE
Railroad Mine Owners Prepar.
ing to Resume Operations in
Anthracite Region.
Coal Cars Distributed But Plans
Of Operators are Kept
Secret.
Strikers Increasing Their Picket
Force in Anticipation Of
New Move.

| Wilkesbarre, July 5.-A movement of
unusual activity about several collier
les in this region indicate to the strik-
| ers an effort is to be made in a few
days to start work at some of the coll
lieries. The operators assert they have
| sufficient men under engagement, both
returned strikers and imported men, to
man several colieries. While they will
not admit that work may be resumed
next week, there is a general belief that
an effort will be made in the Hazelton
region and it is expected the men will
be massed at Harwood colliery, which,
being on the outskirts of the region, is
| in less danger of attack than mine in
the heart of the district, and coal can
be shipped from it without being sent
past any mining village. A number of
miners are said to have applied for
work in response to notice of the COM
pany that it is ready 70 receive appli-
cations. In the Wyoming region all in
dications point to resumption of work
at Nanticoke No. colliery of the Sus-
quehanna Coal Company. This mine is
situated at the edge of the Wyoming
basin and its output goes over the
Pennsylvania railroad. 1t is also stated
from the Wyoming division mines OF
the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
Company that one colliery will be Sc
lected at which work is to be started.
Officials say enough miners of the di-
vision have answered for work to man
a colliery.
Some empty coal cars today were
placed on sidings near d couple of these
oollieries and there was hustle about
the workings which indicated soma
move was about to be made. The Dela-
ware & Hudson and Lehigh Valley
companies We're also busy with pepara-
tions, which make it appear as if at the
time understood by the operators each
company will try to break the strike.
Officials of the union are cognizant OF
what is being done and are busy. Pick
cts are watching the mines, and all
moves are reported to headquarters.
and if an effort is made to gather men
tile strikers will endeavor by large
picket committees to see them before
they go to work and dissuade them. In
the Hazelton region they turned many
back this morning. an especially strong
picket line being established about the
Drifton colliery of Coke Bros. & Co..
where the building of strong barbed
wire stockade backed with barricades
yesterday lends color to a belief that
an effort is to be made there to resume
work.

FOUND IN THE MERRlMAc RIVER.
Body Identified as That of Girl Who
Eloped With a Student.

/. Eoped With Student.
: Haverhill, Mass, July 1.-The body
of beautiful young woman that was
taken from the Merrimac river yester-
DAY was last night identified as that of
jeanette M. Thurston. of Philadelphia,
formerly of Exeter, N. II. The identifi.
cation was made by her brother-in-la law,
Harvey C. Rand, of Exeter, whose story
OF the girls life partially clears up
what promised to be a mystery.
Seven years ago Miss Thurston. 4
beautiful girl of II years, lived in Exc
ter with her family. She eloped one
night with Phillips-Exeter stu
dent, John Nj. Fisher. After long si-
lence she was heard from in the west,
end then she began writing TO heS
family, signing her letters Mrs. j. NJ.
Fisher" From time to time she was
heard from in various parts of the
country OF late she had been living in
Philadelphia. this fact being established
by letters addressed to her there.
The police claimed two trunks at the
railway station that came from Great
harrington, Mass, Saturday, and in
them were many letters, nearly all ad-
dressed to Miss j. NJ. Thurston." This
married to Fisher. Her coming to
Eaverhill also indicates that she was
on the way to Exeter. 1t is presumed a
sudden impulse led her to end her life
Ly drowning early yesterday. She had
spent the time since Saturday night
at a local hotel.
