Has the Democrtic party learned no

TRICKS CHANGE OF HEART.


One of the most hopeful pieces of
Christmas news comes from Pittsburs.,
where Henry C. Frick, the steel mag
nate, has announced an increase OF
wages to his employees in the coke
fields, aggregating $1.60O,00O a year.
Mr.. Frick must be credited with bring

He has raised himself in the estina-
tion of his fellow citizens.

fed the unrelenting crusher of labor

A New Firm.

AS stated in notice signed by
B. J. Pellerin and G. H. DeClouet,
these gentlemen have formed a
partnership and will continue the
furniture business established by Mr.
Pellerin. An increase of business
has induced Mr.. Pellerin to seek
the assistance Of partner and he
has been fortunate in securing the
valuable cooperation of Mr.. De-
Clonet who is now the junior mem
Der Of the firm which will be known
under the name of Pellerin & De-
Clouet. Every arrangement will be
made to meet the demands of the
trade, and the people of this town
and parish are assured that their
wants in the furniture line will be
looked after by a thoroughly pro-
gressive and up to-date firm. The
Gazette bespeaks for the new firm
the large measure of success which
it will no doubt deserve.

"Other Peoples Money

''Other Peoples Money"
Something over two years ago
Hennessy Leroyle produced the far
cial copedy, ttOther Peoples
Money" which will be seen at Falk's
Opera house tonight. On its first
presentation the play and star both
met with the most pronounced favor
and since that time Mr.. Leroyle has
been portraying the central figure
ir this comedy, and his portrayal of
the man of many peculiarities and
characteristics has become melIowed
and rounded out as it were with
age.
The author has furnished the
players with a series of highly
amusing scenes and situations and
1t is IN the proper exemplifcation
of the several characters and the
working out of the story told, that
strong coloring is given to this
merry play. Good parts make
good actors, but on the other hand,
how easy it is for a bad actor to
spoil good part. 1t is therefore
necessary, to seek an element of
excellence in both part and player
as well. That Mr.. Leroyle is an
artist is evidenced by the
fact that the public has placed its
approval upon his work and that
too in the most hearty manner.
For the present season he has sue
ceeded in drawing about him the
best supporting company ever seen
in the play and those who delight
IN that manner of play that has
motive, which reeks with laughter,
and fairly bubbles with fun should
not fail to see the attraction above
named.

Mistaken, Brother.

1t is understood here that Lafayette and
New Iberia have been compelled to shut
down their electric light plants account
of the scarcity of oil which is used as fuel
in both places. The plant at the latter
place has been closed for about two weeks
Thus it will be seen that Crowley has been
pretty fortunate in this respect when her
woes are compared with those of her neigh
bors.-Crowley Signal.
We dislike very much to mar the
pleasure which it gives Crowley to
compare her woes with Lafayette's
alleged troubles, but we will state
in the interest Of truth that the
electric light plant of this town is
in full blast and has been running
without interruption since the dav
it was started We are srrry for

The High School has at presen
| reached the high-water mark ir
respect to attendance. Since the
opening Of school on Jan. 2, there
has been an increase of 20, making
the enrolment 1872. This is some.
what over the seating capacity OF
the school, but the teachers are m an.
aging somehow to accommodate them.
At the Primary school also, the en-
roilment is SO great, being nearly
r5o, that It is quite difficult
problem to seat the pupils. This
large attendance is strong evidence
that the work of the teachers is be-
ing appreciated, that there is a
healthy educational sentiment, and
last but not least, that our needs
have grown way beyond the capa-
city of our present buildings, and
that new school house is an abso-
lutte necessity. if the children are to
receive the full educational privi-
leges they are entitled to.
1t is TO the hard work and ability
of Prof. LeRosen and his assistants,
Misses Devall and Christian of the
High School and also-to Misses
Trichel, Bagnal' and Younger Of the
Primary school, that we are in
debted for the splendid showing our
make.
We learn that recently Friday
afternoon exercises have been insti
tuted at the High School, which are
adding considerable interest and
profit to the work. One feature is
a school paper edited bv the pupils
and read at the l. exercises The
paper is proving a success, and de-
that there is effective
and considerable talent in
the school. The exercises are open
10 all parents and friends of the
school.

this worthy cause will be greatly in-

h
/ Both the town schools, the pri-
mary and the high, are unable To
accommodate the pupils who apply
for admission and many children
have already been turned away from
ltheir doors. The same conditions
exist at the Dominique school in
charge of Mr.. Jordan, and at the
Matthew school in charge Of Mr..
r. B. Martin. The enrolment of
the town schools is two hundred and
sixty; Dominique. seventy-seven.
and Matthew about fifty.
In the town schools the first, sec
ond. and fifth grades have been
overcrowded since the beginning of
the session, and now all the grades
have an enrolment of more pupils
than can be seated with any degree
OF comfort. Last week two appli-
cants at the nigh school were com
PEELED to bring their own desks to
school and several applicants have
been refused because there is no
avaiia bic, seating room. But'simul
taneously with this congestion in
our class-rooms comes the news that
the required number of signatures
have been obtained for the petition
asking for AT. election to take the
sense of-the people of Lafayette on
the subject of special school tax
Nov that the present. school build
ings are not sufficiently large to ac-
commodate the chiIdrenthat knock
at the doors for admissi ON, it is a
seasonable moment for submitting
the question as to whether or not
thr enlightened people of Lafayette
wish to fall in line with the progress
sive communities of the State, and
erect 2 modern high school building
of ample dimensions and commen-
surate with the dem ands of the time.
Such high school would form a fit
to the Industrial Insti-
tute in the educational unit of the
parish. The educational system Of
Lafayette would then be complete.
There is one subject upon: which
enlightened people of all denomina-
ions and of all political parties are
agreed upon, and that is the educa-
ion of the masses. The public |
school of town is mirror from
which is reflected the enlightenment
md the culture of the people; hence,
The Gazette looks forward with |
pleasure to the day when Lafayette
will be in possession of a thoroughly
'qu1pped high school building which
viii, at once, be an ornament to,

An effort will be made to induce
the South Louisiana Summer Nor
NAL and Chautauqua Association to
select Lafayette as its next place of
m Getting. Several towns will try to
secure this distinction and if Lafa-
will have to hustle. A subscription
Of $3.50 is asked of the town or
parish where the normal is held.
This amount is added to the con
aPportionment from the Peabody
fund and is used in defraving the
expenses of the normal. 1t ought
to be useless to urge upon the peo-
pie the importance of doing all in
their power to induce the assoc1a-
ton to selact Lafayette as the place
to hold the summer normal Aside
from the educational feature and
viewed from purely selfish stand
point the proposition should receive
the most favorable consideration
of the people of the town. If held
here, the normal will bring to Lafa-
yette not less than 200 teachers who
will remain in town at least one
month To the cause Of education |
it means great deal more. The |
teachers who were at Franklin last |
year know how much good it is |
calculated to do. 1t will not only |
BRING our teachers in contact with |
their confreres of other sections, but
it will give them an opportunity to
attend a frst-clas normal school
conducted by the most eminent
educators in the State. 1t will give
an impetus to educational work in
this parish that will not fail to bear
good fruit. 1t means normal
school right at our doors during
one month. If these were the only
benefits to the derived from the
holding Of the normal here the peo-
pie would be more than fully repaid

But the advantage of entertaining
100 men and women engaged in the
profession of teaching is not to be
overlooked, and the possibility Of
