of plaintiffs, there is a margin of
Is per cent, before the solvency
of the steel company can pos
sibly be questioned.
When it is considered that
this is only one of the titanic
schemes originated and organized
by one man, it shows what a
genius he has been to finance on
a great scale, and what astonish-
ing ability he possesses to draw
capitalists into his vast com bina-
tons. He has only to propose
some great TRUST, and capitalists
both in this country and in Europe
are eager to put their money
into his undertakings. His
ability to inspire this implicit
confidence of capitalists is no
less wonderful than his ability
to organize trusts.

a Landlord in Trouble.

A special from St. Martinvile to the
Picayune OF July IS, says:-Joseph Lovas,
n former merchant Of this town, was
arrested yesterday and jailed by Deputy
Sheriff Roy charge of burglary,
entering the store of Mr.. Frank Robin.
MIR. Robin is a Tenant of Mr.. Lovas,
occupying the first floor for his store
and the upper story is occupied by Mr..
Lovas and his family. When Mr.. Robin
entered his store yesterday morning he
noticed that his side window was open and
he suspected that robbers had visited his
place. After a thorough investigation he
found that some dry goods had been stolen,
and as it was the third time his goods were
| missing from his store mysterously, he made
| a charge against Mr. Lovas ani warrant
| was issued to search his home.
! An investigation in the house brought on
the fact that three bolts of cloth and one
| bacon were hidden in the chimney which
| were taken the sherff's office awaiting
| Mr. .Lovas trial.

MOuton, captain: ROdOlphe Do

five members joined. The Ca

the best soldiers that this sec
ton gave to the COnfederacy
and drawer soldier and more
chiValrOuS man never lived.

Hatch Wanted to Fight.

A man named Hatch was
brought to town late Thursday
night by Justice Begnaud of
Scott. The man had been
drinking and was in such a fight
ing mood that it was necessary
to tie his hands and feet to take
him to Jail. 1t appears that
Hatch got into trOu bic with the
operator at Scott and was so
bent on fighting that he had to
be arrested and brought here.
Before Hatch was incarcera ted,
he SwOre vengeance against the
Scott operator and said he
would get even with him. The
trouble is said to have grown out
of some disparaging remark
which Hatch is alleged to have
made concerning lady at Scott.
Hatch denies having said any
thing about the lady

Little Girls Tribute to Her
Teacher.

Miss Milton, the young lady
whose untimely death has al
ready been referred to in these
columns, possessed in u large
degree qualities of heart and
mind which won for her an en-
viable place in the affection OF
many people. The Crowley pa
perS have atteSted to the esteem
in which she was held by that
community. But among all the
borrowers nowhere was the
death of this estimable young
lady more keenly felt than by
the little children who knew her
in the school room. Little Ida
Hart. one of the pupils, pays to
the memory of her regretted
teacher the following tribute,
childlike in it's simplicity and no
doubt expressive of Il love as
pure as the heart from which it
came:
IN MEMORY MISS ErLA ESrELLE
MILTON.
How sweet to say she was a sweet wise
young lady, and with care and love foI
everyone. Her school isvacant Her chair
| is too. She is missed much at home.
| How l love her no one knows. Oh, dear,
you know l miss you. oh, if | could only
see you it would make my heart rejoice
| Oh. my dear, dear school teacher.
| | can never go back to that lonely schoo
room with my dear teacher gone never to
return. l can never have any one so gooc
and kind as she was to all of us. Whence
l look iowa rols the old school house it makes
| me feel so sad to think that | can never
never again her there. She was thu
best teacher I ever had.
| Her little scholar.

His EIuSivS Philosophy

Dr. Herbert w. Spencer tells, according
to the New York Times. the followIng
story of his attempt to corner Christian
Scientist:
..Every time we met this Scientist took
occasion to scott at medical science and to
dwell upon the wonders which could be
performed through faith. You are con-
WINGED that through faith you can do any
thinu?' said to him one day.
.Ies,' he replied, faith will move
mountains.
"A week later he was in my office with a
swollen Jaw due to toothache. What,
YOU here exclaimed, who feigned aston
ishment.
:. Ooh, DOCTOR he said Il have suffered
agony all through the night. simply can't
stand this pain any longer
Have You tried faith? | said to him.
| You know you told me the other day that
faith could move mountains
But this is cavity, doctor: this IS

Clara Barton on Equal Rights

Clara Barton on Equal Rights
Clara Barton Says:
Il believe 1 must have been
born believing in the full right OF
woman to all the privileges and
positions which nature and JUS
ticc accord to her in common
with other human beings. Per
fectly equal rights-human
question in my mind in regard
to this. l did not purchase
my freedom with a price: l was
born free: and when, as a young
woman. | heard the subject dis
cussed, it seemed simply ridicu-
lous. that any sensible, rational
person should question it. And
when, later, the phase of woman's
right to suffrage came up, 1t was
to me only Il part OF the whole,
! Just as natural. just as certain to
take place.
In one way or another, sooner
or later, she is coming to 1T.
And the number of thoughtful
and right minded men who Will
oppose will be much smaller
than We think: and when it is
really an accomplished fact, all
will wonder. as L have done,
what the objection ever was.

The Burning Gusher.

News from the Jennings oil
field continues to be most dis
couraging. Several attempts
bave been made to put out the
fire, but all have been unavail-
ing. The flames, which reach a
height OF about sixty feet. are
fed by the oil which gushes out
of the well. 1t is estimated that
about 1000 barrels of oil is the
daily loss. A supreme effort will
be made to eXtinguish the fire
bv means of chemicals and steam
as soon as practicable, but should
that fail it is impossible to fore
see what the outcome Will be-
A number of people of this town
have visited the scene.
