KNIGHTS OF HONOR NOTES.

Notwithstanding the rainy
weather the meeting of Iberia
Lodge of the knights of Honor
last Tuesday night was well at
tended. The interest in the Lodge
since the acceptance of the Grand
Lodge to hold its session here next
year is beginning to be shown by
the number of applicants for mem
bership which have been presented
during the last two months. Four
candidates were initiated at the
first meeting this month and three
more are now ready to be pre-
scented for full membership. The
increased interest and work in the
order in New Iberia is only II part
of what is being done in the State
of Louisiana, and in the order gen
orally. During the past month a
meeting was held in st. Louis at
which one hundred and four can
didates were initiated with forty
more applications to be considered.
The meeting was attended by about
six hundred members of the order.
New Orleans is now preparing to
have similar meeting which will
be success as the order in Louisi-
ana has been very prominent for a
number of years. The local lodge
is beginning already to organize
for the entertainment of the Grand
Lodge and will be pleased to have
all who are interested in the
advertisement of the town and cOun-
try assist them in making the stay
in New iberia a pleasant one.
The members of the lodge are
always ready to answer any in
quiries aud have supply of ex.
cellcnt literature OF maud at all
times, which can be had on appli-
cation to any one of them.
Their progressive ways are
shown by the card at the head of
our local column, to which we
cordially invite your attention.

A POLITICAL PARADOX.

Washington, May MARTIN
Behrmann and Alex. Pujol Of New
Orleans, who have been spending
a couple of days in Washington,
left tonight for New York. They
visited the White House to-day in
company with Senator Foster, who
introduced them to the President.
They were very cordially received
by Mr.. Roosevelt, who stopped a
moment or two to chat with them
about Louisiana and New Orleans.
In presenting them, Senator Eos
ter in a jocular way, remarked /;
"Mr. President, in introducing my
Louisiana constituents heretofore
L have presented you Republicans.
| now want to introduce You to two
sturdy Democrats. The Presi-
dent "caught on" at once, and
smilingly replied: 81 am glad to
meet you, gentlemen. Your State,
from Republican standpoint, is q
political paradox. Official returns
show that there are as many as
1900 Republicans in the State,
while there are about $500 Repu-
blican officeholders. The party
laughed at this sally, and, after a
few more words, passed out.

TRUST EVILS.

- Speaking of the evils ~ s.cnop-
lies, Mr.. Cochran, of Missouri, in
the House the other day, said that
corporations were gaining control
of both parties. That in Republi-
eau States they contributed to and
supported that party, while in
Democratic States, it was the other
party. To conservative men it has
become great problem how to
control corporations and keep them
within Legitimate bounds, and yet
not destroy prosperity and check
our material advancement by too
rabid assaults on the forces of
commerce. Will it be by reason
able law, rigidly enforced, or un-
reasonable laws incapable of en-
forcement, yet causing distrust and
upheaval which will result disas-
trously to those engaged in bust
ness in more modest wayi The
small business ventures are the
ones always hurt. 1t looks as though
this question will more largely en-
ter into the next political campaign
paign than either expansion or the
tariff.

When the young man from FLOR

looked on what to him was novel
scene, says the New York Mail ana
Express. 1t was snowstorm, the
first he had ever seen. Jumping
into his clothes, he ran into the
street. He stopped and gathered
handfuls of snow and threw them
in the air; he jumped into drift
and sent it flying with his feet; he
finally lay down and rolled IN 1t
all this time shouting and laughing
at the top of his voice. One of the
crowd which had gathered to watch
his antics went up to him and told
him how his mother used to cure
fits and volunteered to try 1t on
him. 81 haven't any fit," the

May is here, the month which
opens the season of the four
months that have to be spelled
without an or and during which
oyster-epicnres are accustomed to
forego their favorite Wand. These
enthusiastic lovers Of H. seductive
bivalve, and indeed ,se of us
also who are even moderately fond
Of it, will not relish the unwelcome
proofs that in at least some oyster
beds the deadly typhoid germs are
lurking, having been borne there
by the sewerage of great cities. But
that such is the fact seems to be es-
tablished by some recent investiga-
tons which are described in a
paper read by Caleb A. Fuller, of
Brown university, before the
American meteorological associa-
ton. These investigations were
made in the upper part of Nara
gapse,t Bay into which the sewage
from the city Of Providence is
emptied at the rate of about Ia,

vealed typhoid germs in consider
able numbers in oyster beds sit
uated as far as FIVE miles from the
mouth Of the sewer, and, ofcourse,
an abundance of them in beds that
were nearer. The beds were not
free from the infection unless they
were six aud half miles distant
from the sewers month.-Roches-

The agreement to give one and
one-half cent of the assessed value
of your property to the railroad
proposition is exceedingly fair and
with most people amounts to but
little. Consider for moment how
your assessment is. If you are as
sessed for 300 You would pay sl.50.
Not much is it? If your assessment
is $500 you pay $50; If $1,000 you
pay s15. These payments to be
made in three installments. Any
one can quickly figure it out, and
after you have figured it out then
act. The time is short. Dallas
must close up tomorrow and we
must be ready to do something or
quit in a few days thereafter. The
Light has standing list of all
those who have contributed so far.
However, ii must not be understood
that all whose names appear in this
list have agreed to the one aud a
half per cent proposition. Many
who own large properties here have
not given at all yet, but they will,
without doubt, do their part when
the pinch comes, as it Ia coming.
The Light does not know how much
has been subscribed, but it VIII en-
deavor to get a list of the amounts
contributed by each person whose
name appears in the published list,
for early publication, so that the
people may know just how much
money is yet to be raised. This is
matter In which the public of this
city is vitally interested, and in
which the property owners should
be active. We must have the In
ternational or lose much of our
prestige and commercial suprem-
acy.
