Capitalists Have Their Eyes
On The Opportunities
Offered Here.

The New Orleans Picay une
says: There is movement on
foot to erect an oil refinery in
Jennings. The details are rot
yet made public, but there are
two Pennsylvania capitiIists her"
to look into the matter. Mr.. J.
+. Wellington, Of Jennings. came
to meet them, and the plan las
so far progressed most satiSfac-
torily,SO much 50 that IN speail-
ing about the jennings field in
the Grunewald yesterday even
ing Mr.. Wellington said tina;
work would probably be started
on the refinery within the next
thirty days.
AS to the field itself, Mr.. Vel,
iingtou said it's future, like the
future Of anything else is pro
blemAtical. The people OF Jen-
nings made up their minds that
they had good field Of punn
wells. There was plenty of Oil.
and every facility was prepared
to handle it, even If the gushers
had not materialized. Two tanks
Of 1920 barrels capacity are on
the field, and at the railroad stat
ion there is q tank of 10000 bar
rels capscity. Besides these, are
the pumps and the pipe line to
Jennings, all of which shows that
with just the pump wells and
with out the gu~hers Jennings
would Still be big oil field.
In the town of jennings oil is
used by Il couple Df ice plants,
rice mills and planning mills, but
the country is the biggest mar
ket. Jennings is in the heart of
the Louisiana rice belt, and is so
situated that the oil can be easily
distributed from that point. Last
week from three to seven barges
of oil were shipped up the bayou
and taken down the Mermentau
river for distribution at the diff
erent plants. Jennings oil is now
selling for 30 cents a barrel at
the bayou. AS the bayou is only
about three aud half miles from
the field, the price at the We'll is
practically the same.
Beaumont oil, on the CONTRARY
sells for 5 to Z cents a barrel at
the wells.
The Southern Oil Company
owns both of the gushers, which
are known as No 3 aud No I. The
Haywood Jennings Syndicate is
expected to bring in II gusher
Saturday, which will be known
as Jennings No ,.

Appearance Of Warships Caused Ter
rcr at LaGuayra,


LaGuayra, Venezuela. Dec. 16.-The
arrival of the British cruiser Charyb
dis and torpedo boat destroyer Quail
caused a bad scare among the popula
ton OF this place. The commander
Of the fortress has visited the Amcri
can. French. Spanish and Dutch con,
sIls AMI asked them in case the Brit
isif landed marines to intervene tC
prevent firing on the fort and to delay
any movement on tho fort, ho had
received orders from the government
to evacuate the place. He added If
the conSus refused to obey and the
fort was attacked he would defend his
post and could not aswer for the con.
sequences to the town which is with.
out any defense now with the excep.
tion OF few armed policemen.
At o'clock, however, the ChaH-b
dis and the Quail left LaGuay:a and
the fears Of tho population subsided
What caused the alarm was the fact
that when the British ships arrived
here they took up a commanding posi-
ton. their guns covering the fort and
remained stationary for few mo-
ments as If TO open fire. The Charyb
dis ani the Quail steamed away in the
direction Of Quracoa. The foreign
cor3uls subsequently called cn the pre-
feet. who assured them there was nc
danger at present.

HUNTING CARIBOU.
One, Shot Through the Heart, Ran

The Caribou is very tenacious of life,

iii S MGnniichcr. With such strong
Cras we were seldom able to stop a
big st:sc with Il single shot. even when
hit in 4 vital spot. One that the writ
CT shot through the heart ran with the
rest of the drove for 900 yards as
though he had not been touched be-
fore collapSinS. When we opened him,
he had only one bullet hole and his
heart was cut in two. Another went
about the same distance on the jump
with both fore shoulders broken and a
bullet through the neck. On several
other occasions the stays when hit
went OFF with such strength that when
they fell they dug their antlcrs in the
ground and turned complete somer-
saults.
The first caribou we killed was q
fawn. We picked him out because We
wanted meat, and, being young, we
thought he ought to be tender. In fact,
however, lis meat was almost useless

mother, will strike him with his horns
and chase him half mile. As sCor
as the stag gives UP the chase and
turns back to the Goc the fawn will re
turn; then the stag will chase him
again. This is kept up for eight or ter
days, with the result that from worry
violent exercise and change of diet the
meat of the fawn becomes for time
unpalatable.

THE APOSTLES.
Emblcms Bestowed Upon Them by
the MEDIEVAL Artists.

The medieval artists, having no idea
of the personal appearance of the Saw
iour's followers, adopted a'sct of signs,
or cmbiems, for each, which soon be
came familiar to all. The emblem Of
Peter WAS either a. large key or two
keys crossed, which is readily explain
ed by referring to the words of Christ
CIatthew xvi, 10), and l will give un-
To thee the keys Of the kingdom of
heaven" The emblem Of Paul was q
swCrd and book-the latter to remind
the bcholGcr that he was q teacher of
mon, the former to indicate that he was
bchcadcd with 4 sword. st. Andrew
was usually figured standing by cross
shaped like Il letter y, that being the
form Of the cross upon which legend
says he was crucified. The emblem Of
st. James the Great was either Il sword,
referring to the fact that he was also
behcaded. or pilgrims staff, he being
a great traveller.
st. Johns emblem was caldron re-
fcrring to his experience in the boiling
oil. st. Philips emblem is an enigma.
1t was spear and n cross, yet it is
known that he was hanged. st. Bar
tholOmew, who was "hayed alive" is
represented with knife and his skin
hanging over his arm. Matthew's en-
blcm is square, supposed to have
some reference to Christ's calling. st.
Thomas, having been pierced with n
DART" is pictured carrying n spear.
The emblem OF James the Less was a
club, lie having been "beaten to death
with Il faggot;" st. Matthias an ak, he
having been bcheaded. Simon's en-
blcm was saw. The legend says "he
was sawn asundcr."
