INDUSTRIAL. INSTITUTE.
Lecture by Prof. FOrtier of Tu-
lane-Preparing for the Com
nsncement.

Prof Alcee Fortier, of Tulane
University, addressed the peO-
pie of Lafayette at the Ind u.s.
trial Institute last Saturday
night. He spoke of Paris in
1902 and gave Il vivid deScrip-
ton of the great capitol of the
French nation. He showed how
it has always been the centre of
French interests since the ear
liest times. so that Paris and
France have almost become
synonymous in political history,
as embOdying the aspirations and
ideals of the French people and
as being perhaps the most unique
city in the world: its area, it's
architectural beauty, it's fine art,
it's culture and withal its SOlidity
and its manhood. Prof. FOrtier
was well received by his auditors
and their one wish when the
lecture was ended was that he
had continued longer. Prof.
Fortier addressed the people of
Scott on the following morning.
His speech was in French and
upon the subject of education.
1t was a splendid and inspiring
address.
The students of the Institute
are now experiencing that ner-
vOuS interest that always pre-
cedes the closing or commence
ment exercises and in this case
the first in the history of the
Industrial Institute. Everything
is done with snap and vim and
in vigorous way-the songs,
the marches, the recitatiOns, all.
But work necessaril mulates
at the end of the session and it
is feared that for this reason the
field day sports will have to be
abandoned for time, possibly
till next session.
We understand that addresses
will be made at the commence
ment by Rev DR.. Beverly War
ner of New Orleans and Mr..
w. H. Carver of NatchitOcheS.

MEETING AT WHITTINGTON.s
People of the Eighth Wau 4
Ljstsn to Addresses on Edu-
cation.

AS was announced in the two
last issues of The Gazette a
school meeting took place in the
Wilmington woods in the eighth
ward last Saturday. Though
the meeting was not as largely
attended as it should have been,
quite a number of the people Of
the ward were present. Mr..
John Wilmington called the
meeting to order and explained
it's purpose. Mr.. Alcide Judice,
who is doing so much for the
cause of public education, was
called upon to say a few words
to the audience. Mr. Judice
made a practical talk on the ne
cessity of supporting the public
schools. He said he would al
ways be ready to aid every
movement for better schools,
and if the people needed him he
would be glad to do all in his
power to help them. Mr.. Judice
was followed by Judge Julian
Mouton, who had been invited
to address the meeting on the
subject of education. Judge
Mouton spoke in French and
urged his hearers to send their
children to school. His address
was well received. After the
speaking the people enjoyed the
barbecued meat and refresh
ments which had been prepared
for the occasion
Among the town people who
attended were Misses Maytield
and Dupre of the Industrial In
stitute, DR.. n. p. Moss and
Superintendent Alleman.

Acc ident at Baseball Game.

During the game of baseball
played at Austin Il few days ago
by the l.. S. U. boys and the
team of the Texas University,
Luke Olivier of this parish, who
was pitching for the visiting
nine, sustained bodily injuries
which were rather painful, but
fortunately not of Il dangerous
nature While running to a base
one of the heaviest men in the
Texas team threw himself with
great force against young Olivier
who came out Of the encounter
with broken rib and a painful
bruise about the hip. With the
use of a cot it was possible to
move Mr.. Olivier to the train
and he made the trip back home
in company with the other boys.
He arrived here Sunday and was
taken to the home of his uncle,
Judge G. H. MOutOn. We are
pleased to say that his condition
has improved satisfactorily since
his arrival here and that he is
doing very well at this moment.

Last Thursday evening Mr..
James Alpha and Miss Cecile
Doucet were married at the
Catholic church by Father Boil
lard. A large number of people
gathered in front of the church
where they awaited the arrival
of the wedding party. At the
appo inted time the young couple,
accompanied by their relatives
and friends, arrived in carriages
and after waiting a short while
at the door of the church pro-
ceeded to the chancel. The
bride, who was exceedingly
lovely and beautiful in a splendid
wedding dress, was escorted to
the chancel by her father, Mr..
CleObule Doucet. Walking just
before them were the brides
maid, Miss PhilOmene DOucet,
and Mr.. Edward Thomas, the
groomsman. The groom, ac-
companied by Mr.. Pierre Gerac,
CAME ouu ol Clle
the bride in front of the altar.
Father Bollard spoke of the
sacred character of the ritual he
was about to perform, referring
to the divine origin of the holy
sacrament which, he said, was
instituted by the founder OF the
Christian religion, and concluded
by pronouncing the happy
couple man and wife bestOwing
upon them the blessings of the
Catholic church.
After the ceremony the we'd
ding party repaired to the home
of Mr.. Alpha where the groom
and bride received the sincere
congratulations of their many

An Accident AVerted.

An Accident Averted.
Owing to an unavoidable acci-
dent at the electric power house
Tuesday night the patrons of
the plant were compelled to have
recourse to lamps and candles.
It was found that the new boiler
was leaking and thatit was neces-
sary to have steam connection
with the old boiler and when the
change was being made the
plant was unable to furnish any
light. The boiler had been in
spected by the representative
of an insurance company and
pronounced safe, but strange to
say it began to leak a few hours
after being in use. Fortunately
the defect was discovered in
time to prevent what might been
a very serious accident

DANIELS, STILL IN JAIL.
Hearing is Continued Till Next
Week and Bail Refused.

The preliminary hearing of Roy Dan
iels, who is charged with the murder
of Frank Devlin in Daniels joint on
East Fourth street March 9Th, was set
for o'clock this morning, but was con-
tinued to the 18th at the request of the
counsel for the state, Capt AIcNary,
who objected to a hearing without the
testimony of Luke Heery, who was not
able to appear.
Attorneys Hayden and Hungate for
the defense suggested that the court
repair to Heery's home and take his
testimony there. and objected to a con-
tinuance unless the defendant was adj
mitted to bail. The case was finally
disposed of by a continuance to next
Tuesday, as Heery's physician thought
he would be able to appear by that
time.
The defense made an argument for
bond for the defendant which the court
refused to consider, and Daniels was
turned to Jail.

RODENBERG RESIGNS.
A Vacancy Made on the Civil
Service Commission.

Washington, March 14.-William A
Rodenberg of East st. Louis, Ill, today
submitted to President Roosevelt his
resignation as a member of the United
States civil service commission to take
effect April 1. Richard Dana of Boston
has been mentioned as a probable sue
cessor, but President Roosevelt has not
yet announced his intention. His rela-
tons. with the president and the other
members of the commission have been
cordial and the latter today gave out a
statement in which they announced
there always had been harmony be-
tween the three commissioners and de-
nying a report that a request for his
resignation had ever been contempla-
ted. Mr.. Rodenberg called on the pres
1dent several days ago and informed
him of his intention to resign and re-
enter politics and the latter urged him
to remain. Mr.. Rodenberg formerly
represented the Twenty first Illinois dis
trict in congress-

WELLINGTON ON DECK.
Says He Isn't Out of Game by Any
Means.

E. w. Wellington, of Ellsworth, does
not take much stock in the predictions
of the politicians that he is already out
of the congressional race in the Sixth
district. He still thinks he has a good
chance of defeating Congressman Reed
er when the congressional convention
meets at Norton on April 3. He thinks
that he will get Lincoln and Osborne
counties and that these will decide the
contest in his favor. In discussing the
situation last night Mr.. Wellington said:
Notwithstanding the claims of Reed
er's friends, the fight is not over yet,
by any means. OF the counties that
have held their conventions, the dele
cations are all uninstructed. The de-
Gliding counties are Lincoln and Osborne
and have reason to believe that I will
get their votes. Reeder claims them,
but the Reeder men are claiming every
thing to the extent of bluff.
They even claim they will break into
the counties along the Union Pacific.
But with these solid, with Lincoln and
Osborne for me, afar from being NOM
mated on the first ballot or by acclama-
ton. as they claim. Reeder will not be
nominated at all. In my judgment my
chances for landing are as good as ever
and the fight is still on

FINNEY NOT SCARED.
Thinks He Will Be Reelected
Railroad Commissioner.

1t is expected that the executive coun-
ell will take up the election of a rail-
road commissioner at its meeting next
week. The short term of D. w. Finney
expires in April. and the meeting of the
council next week will be the last reg
ular meeting before that time, and the
election will regularly come up at that
time.
Governor F'inney does not expect any
opposition to his reelection. There was
talk some time ago that an attempt
would be made to displace him, but this
has been Quieted and nothing more is
heard of it,
The office of railroad commissioner is
probably the best appointive place i'll
the state government There is not so
much honor in it as there is in an cleo
tive state office, but it is better from
a financial standpoint In fact, there is
only one place that is really more de-
sirable financially, and that is state
printer To be sure, the governor and
members of the supreme court receive
a salary larger by $500 than a railroad
commissioner, but they have to work at
their jobs all the time, and the expenses
of the governor eat up his salary. The
railroad commissioner receives a salary
of 81, 500 a year, the same as the state
officers except governor and state SUI
perintendent. The former receives 3d.
600 a year, and the latter $1,000. Then
the railroad commissioner has to put
in only a small part of his time in his
office and the railroads are all COM
PEELED to furnish him passes without
his asking for them; but the other state
officers have never been known to have
any trouble about passes Taken alto
gether, the place of railroad commits
sioner is extremely desirab BILE
The work of the board since it's es-
adjustment by the last legislature has
been heavier than it probably will be
in the future, because it has been 'ses-
tablishing precedents." That is, it has
been laying down certain rules of ac-
ton. Whenever a new kind of case
comes up, it is necessary to lay down
new rules. In the future when cases
like these come up, the railroad COM
panies will known exactly what the
rulings of the board will be, and if they
are in error they will not allow the
cases to come before the board. The
rulings, too, aid the board in speedy
adjudication of the cases that come be-
fore them.
Governor F'inney will doubtless be re-
elected next week for term of three
years. A year hence the term of j. N.
Fike, the Democratic member of the
board, will expire, and there will prob
ably be a scramble for his place. A D.
Walker. the other Republican member,
still has two years to serve.
