MR. AZCEE FOR TIER.

LdIdyeUUe anu oCoUC WeIS pal
ticularly favored during the past
week by visit from Prof. Alcee
Fortier, of Tulane University. |
This distinguished scholar ac-
cepted an invitation to deliver a
lecture at the Industrial 1nsti- |
tute, and after his arrival here
he kindly consented to go to
Scott to talk to the people there
on the subject of education.
1t is needless to say that this
community was greatly pleased
to have as its guest the learned
Tulane professor who holds so
warm a place in the affection and
esteem of all LOuiSianianS who
are lovers of their State and its
history. Mr.. FOrtier occupies Il
most enviable position in this
State. He has devoted the best
wears of his life TO the study OF
Louisiana history and it is safe
to say that no one is better
equipped than he to give to the
youth of this and succeeding
generations Il truthful account
of the part played by this State
in the affairs of the nation from
the earliest colonial times to the
present day. With characteris
tic fealty Mr. FOrtier has worked
to keep alive the noble traditions
of his race and to impress upon
|
ianianS the duty of preserving
in all its purity the beautiful
language their ancestors spoke.
As loyal and patriotic son OF
the Old Pelican State his able
pen has never been idle when
Gable and other malevoient
spirits pandered to a morbid
sectionalism and endeavOred by
their falsehOodS to sully the
good name of the Creoles of
Louisiana.
Knowing and approaching
these things it was not sur
prising that the people ewelcomed
Alcee FOrtier, not as a stranger,
but as an old friend they had
been knowing d long time. If
ANYTHING was lacking to show
how deeply this man feels for
the people of Louisiana and how
sincerely he hopes for their in
tellectual betterment, it was fur
2 nished by his address to the peo-
IS pie at Scott. His appeal to the
men and women present to give
their children an opportunity to
acquire an education was Il most
effective and eloquent argument
against illiteracy, and the ap-
plause with which his words OF
advice were received by the au-
dience showed that they did not
fall on deaf ears. To promote
the cause of education among
the French speaking people OF
Louisiana Mr.. Fortier has
striven with tireleSS energy,
and he is so well fitted for this
work that it is to be regretted
he is not able to speak to
every comm unity in this section,
where his efforts would no dOubt
be productive of so much good.
We do not know Il better field
for missionary work for men
like Mr.. FOrtier to employ their
talents in the great cause of
public education. We believe
that his address at Scott will
have the effect Of awakening the
people of that community to the
Importance of educating their
children We know that the
people of that section are not
wanting in civic pride and in tilial
affection and we can not help be-
lieving that the eloquent utter
ances of Mr.. F'ortier will bear
the best of fruits.
The Gazette hopes that Mr..
Fortier will honor Lafayette
with many more visits.

"The Beers, as they surrender" ,"

"show that the cradle and the

naught." The Argus, it is seen,
has a long memory, but a discrim-

"Uncle SAM"

A Fourth of July oration writ
ten by E. L. w. 1854, copied and
revised by J. T. d. 1902.
Now Sammy's mamma was vixen
queen,
Residing DER seas far away,
Her rule, it was so obstinate and keen,
That Sammy could not bear her
sway.
And then when Sam had plead for
mercy long,
In humblenss before the dame,
Becoming Justly weary Of her wrong,
Sam sought to elevate his name.
And breaking DER his naughty
mammals rule,
Declared for glory and renown,
And truly joining Freedoms noble
school,
Refused TO bow beneath a crown.
When on insults Sam could no longer
look.
And pleadings nothing would avail,
Finding his mammals nature he'd
mistook,
Young Sam the vixen did assail
And then the fight between them
grew so warm,
That victory seemed doubtful
chance,
But Sam wIthstood the fury of the
In spite of British arrogance.
And after years of strife and bloody
toll,
The naughty foe was driven hence
Resigned all title to Sammy's soil,
Nor longer argued a vain pretense.
Twas thus that Uncle Sam began the
world.
A small, but brave and fearless lad
And freedoms banner to the breeze
unfurled,
Nor knew one friend on earth he
had.
But Uncle Sam has since grown very
high
And far and wide Ger land ard sea
His banners gladly to the breezes
fly
Proclaiming-we are brave and
free.
And now wherever Uncle Sam may
roam
All will reverence his great name,
He has wealth, strength and conf
dence at home,
Abroad he has honor ana fame.
Three cheers for the master ~ Of the
waters,
And the splendor of the nation.
Three cheers. for his brave sons and
fair daughters,
The freest in all creation!

which means that she must have cotillion
and supper parties in plenty for every
function, and be generally admired. This
seems hard and at the same time contra
dictory to the emancipated schoolgirl
who has always, ever since she can re-
member. been urged to study hard, and
told by parents and teachers that it was
all essential to improve her mind, not
only for the sake of culture in itself,
but also in order to shine in this social
world. But this world which she en-
tered seems to care so little for any
intellectual requirements, and only to
require Of her a capacity for chattering,
amusing gossip or to be able to toss the
ball Of repartee to and from in sprightly
fashion with her partners In this the
clever, serious minded girl will probably
find that her mental interiors will great
ly surpass her, and she may have the
modification of seeing some girl whom
she has always considered quite stupid
suddenly become her social superior, all
because the latter has superbundance
of unusual spirits and plenty of small
talk on every occasion.

The United Daughters of the Confed-

the southern women, has now a men,
bership of over thirty thousand and is
rapidly growing. 1t has chapters not
alone in cities of the south, but wherever
southern women have gone to dwell. A
chapter with thirty charter members

and promises to become a potent factor
in exclusive social circles in that city.
In plan and methods Of government it
is something like the Daughters Of the

offers the best means yet devised for Sc
curing substantial justice. He held that

RETURNING TO 1NCINERATION.
Cremation Becoming General In
Civilized Countries.

Recent statistics show that there
is constant and growing tendency
to return to the custom of cremation,
that prevailed throughout the civil
lied world before the Christian era,
excepting among the Egyptians, Chi
nese and Hebrews. The disposition
of the human dead by incarceration
has bee1 meeting with more and
more favor, that has in no wise been
retarded since the first cremation So
ciety YVES formed, in London, in 1874.
That same year a crematory was
erected in Milan, and two years
afterwards one was built in Lodi,
Italy. In two years more there was
one in Gotha, Germany, and after
wards they began to appear in all
lands. The first one in this country
was erected in Washington, Pa, in
1883, aid the one in Fresh Pond, L.
l., came two years afterwards. In
this latter eight bodies were cremat-
ed the first year and rs in the Sec
ond year. In 1900 the total had
passed the 600 mark, and during the
last year it reached 654. There are
now 26 crematories in the United
States. In the year that New York's
first crematory was opened only As
bodies were cremated in the entire
country, while last year the number
was 2,645.

A CONVICT IN PRISON.
Daily Routine Of Life In a Dungeon
Cell Described by One who
Knows.

If I had little work to do in prison,
how did spend the time? At Auburn,
where lived the greater part of my
first term, says the Autobiography of
a Thief, in Leslie's Monthly, the rou-
tine of my life was as follows: After
rising in the morning would sweep
out my cell, turn up my bed and blank
cts and clean up. Then to l~~akfast:
then, if there was no work to do, I
would go back to my cell and eat a
small portion of opium. Then I would
exercise with dumbbells and take a
sponge bath with cold water. Next
would come nap till dinner time.
After dinner would read and think in
my cell until three o'clock, when I
would 60 to the bucket ground or ex-
ercise in the yard, in the lock-step with
the others, for half an hour. Then
back to the cell, taking with me bread
and cup of coffee made out of burnt
bread-crust for my supper. The count
was made at six o'clock to see that
all was right for the night. After that
I read in my cell as long as the oil
lasted. T. Z.

RAILROAD SIGN LANGUAGE.
Signals Communicates What Needs to
Be Said an Perfectly as 1t Could
BE Told in Words,

It is not deaf mutes alone who en-
ploy the sign language. Railroaders
have a tongue of this sort that, since
railroading began, has been growing
until now anything that needs to be
said in it can be expressed as perfectly
as in'words, says~the Philadelphia Rec
ord. The signals of railroaders are
made with the hands and arms in the
daytime, and with a lantern in the
dark, the lantern signals, by the way,
being comprehensive at far greater
distance than the daytime ones: The
latter are made with one arm or with
both, at the brakeman's option. To 60
ahead, to stop and to back are the
leading ones. The arms moved hori-
zontally and vertically make the two
first signals; the back turned and the
arms pushed out makes the last one.
The main lantern signals are an up
and-down, a crosswise and a circular
movement. Thefe are, of course, a
hundred ,other minor signals, and
these vary slightly in different parts
of the country. But the main ones
are as common and as Ineligible
everywhere among American railroad
ers as the English language itself.
