In Lafayette, on Tuesday, Dan
iel Mccoy, a negro, was found guilty
of attempting criminal assault
and will be hanged in accordance
with the law. The people of La
fayette, while incensed over the
crime refrained from mob violance
aud let the law take its cot. Sc; and
in so doing reflected credit upon
the parish and state. People who
are in seach of new homes will
remember that Lafayette parish is
peaceable and orderly and that the
people regard its officers as compe-
tent and trustworthy, and at the
same time the punishment Of the
criminal will be certain and speedy
The example set by Lafayette is
worthy of emulation everywhere in
the south.

AMERICAN PATE DE FOIS GRAS.

Persons who read of the tortures
inflicted upon geese in France and
Germany, where the celebrated
pate de fois gras is made, are sell
dom aware that in one place in
our own country the same methods
are used to fatten geese for the
Hebraic population of New York.
In WATERFOWL, Wis, there is a
settlement of Bohemians, where
the women pursue this work as the
chief industry of the place. The
geese are nailed by their webbed
feet to the floors Of wooden cages
set in dark, warm rooms.
They are then fed with all .hey
can possibly eat, and when appe-
title fails they are crammed with
noodles made of dough of corn
aud buckwheat aud forced down
their throats with stick. Every
two hours this forced feeding is
applied, aud in few weeks the
tortured fowls are distended like
pumpkins, the liver alone fire.

half to two pounds, and the geese
from 20 to Is pounds.
They are then killed aud plucked
BY the women, the latter operation
being completed before they are
'eally dead, and are shipped to
New York City. 4
Arriving there, they are put in
odd storage, where they may re-
main for months or years. They |
ire esteemed great delicacy by |
many persons, aud quantities of

Miss Jordoct, Of Paterson, N. D.,
was to have been married TO Ray
mond Hopper, of that city. Ray
mond hoped away on the day set
for the ceremony, but the young
lady, having ordered tho wedding
feast, didn't let little thing like
the absence Of the groom worry
her. The guests gathered as though
nothing had happened, and with a
straw man in the seat of honor, the
feast went on. We congratulate
the lady on her good sense, and are

Mr.. ROOSEVELT CORRECTS AN Err
ROR OF HIS YOUTH.

In his address made at the din
ner recently given at Washington
in honor of Justice Harlan of the
Supreme Court of the United
States, President Roosevelt paid Il
high tribute to the men who fought
for the Confederacy aud to the
Southern people. In the course of
his address, he said:
"In any audience in any State of
the Union, take it as far North as
you wish, | can appeal with confid-
ence to the people | address, when
l say that next to the homage we
pay to the men who proved the
truth Of their endeaor as they bat
tied ia the homage we pay to the
men, who, with equal sincerity,
wore the gray.
"And, gentlemen, I am half q
Southerner myself. Two of my
uncles fought in the Confederate
navy. Que of them served under
the father-in-law Raphael Semmes)
of Vice Gov. Luke Wright, of the
Philippine islands. And | think
| have to say that, knowing the
Southern people as | do, l would
heartily advocate fighting twice as
hard as you fought from '6l to '65
for the privilege of staying in the
same union with them.'
That is we'll said. 1t "rings
true" 1t indicates that the Pres
ident possesses a generous tenn
per. And best of all, it goes to
prove that the Theodore Roosevelt
who in the heat of his young man
hood wrote in his "Life of Benton
that Jefferson Davis was "an arch
traitor" and the Confederates
we're anarchists" has modified his
judgment-has recognized that he
hen made an error aud has had the
courage to correct it. All of which
Is exceedingly welcome to his
,ountrymen in the Southern States.

their intentions with respect to
Venezuela. 1t is well to remem-
Der, however, that nations, like in
dividuals, are apt to forget pledges
aud understandings when flushed
with victory, hence it behooves our
to keep sharp look
out ut all times whenever there are
in any portion of the
American Continent. SO that some
apparently trivial matter be not
made pretext for setting aside the
Monroe Doctrine. -Picdyune

to look the facts sauarely in the face.
That cough, racking and persistent, ac-
companied by tightDess in the chest and
splitting of sticky mucus, is sign Of con-
sumption. Common sense dictates the
use of Aliens Lung Balsam, an honest
remedy, since it contains no opium; an eff
ficient remedy, since it heals the irritated,
infamed throat and lungs, and SO pre-
vents deep-seated cold from running into
incurable forms of consumption.

THE PROGRESS OF EVENTS IN VENE-
ZUELA.

The peaceful blockade which
Germany and Great Britain pro
posed to establish against the Ports
|of Venezuela promises to be any.
thing but peaceful. Already two
Venezuelan gunboats have been de-
stroyed and another disabled, while
three others have been captured
The Germans have landed an armed
force and the Venezuelans have
made preparations to defend La
Guayra so that the merely peaceful
blockade promises to develop into
a bona-fide war before many days
have passed. In fact, the acts
which have already occurred can
be construed as declaration of
war without the least stretch of the
Imagination. Similar acts com.
mitted by foreign power or pow
ers against this country would
bring about open hostilities with.
out the fOrmality of 4 declaration
of war.
Venezuela has apparently recti-
fed the mistake OF arresting Brit
ish aud German subjects by releas-
ing them after representations aud
protests on the part of the United
States Minister. President Castro
has become convinced that the
placing of the interests Of British
and German subjects in the hands
of the American Minister is Gu
tirely regular and in accord with
precedent, and has accordingly
recognized the right Of our Min
lister to protect the foreigners with
whose Governments Venezuela has
q quarrel
That Great Britain and Germany
have embarked upon a delicate as
we'll as dangerous undertaking is
now becoming apparent. Without
doubt both powers expected that
Venezuela would yield as grace
fully as possible after harmless
protest; hence the only serious task
would be to collect the duties paid
in at the custom houses. It is now
apparent that Venezuela will make
a fight which, even though unsuc-
cessful, will place a far different
aspect upon the trouble from an
International viewpoint.
Should Venezula make anything
ike a determined. resistance the
allied powers will have to bring
anger forces for operations on
shore and be put to considerable
Expense in consequence. AS the
Monroe Doctrine will not permit
he annexation Of territory the only
compensation will have to be in the
hape of a money indemnity, the
objection Of which will have to be
ostponed indefinitely owing to the
ankrupt condition Of Venezula.

Government that it is high time to
