The Salvation Army and the
Public Good.
Daily Picayune.

The Salvation Army is an or
ganization which does not wait for
sinners to seek its ministrations,
but it goes TO them wherever they
may be-in the streets or in the
slums.
The attentions Of this organiza-
ton are given to the lowliest and
most forsaken. and it therefore
ministers to class seldom reach
ed by other religious means. But
it does not confine its business to
offering religious services and con-
ISOLATION to those among whom il
works. The Army maintains an
establishment where those who are
really needy are fed and lodged.
The places in which this philan-
thropic business is done is declar-
ed by all who have visited them to
be conducted with the most per-
feet order and cleanliness, and the
relief afforded is said to be most
prudently and wisely dispensed.
For some time such an institu-
ton has been kept in operation
here, but it was carried on under
difficulties, not the least of which
was insufficient support. It is
now proposed, under the auspices
of the Progressive Union, to make
an effort to secure a modest fund,
but one adequate to the needs oil
the service, and to that end a pub.
lie meeting will be held this even
ing at the hall of the Athenaeum
on st. Charles Street, when Bri.
gadier w. F. jenkins will present
the plan which is to issue LOO

Bayou Bouillon Oil Field.
Especial to the Picayune.)


st. Msrtinville, La, July 3d.
Conner e. Jones, of the Jones and
Fletcher Company, who found oil
at Bayou Bouillon, on the land of
Atchafalsya Oil and Mineral Com
pany, Limited, passed drought
st. Martinville to-day on his way
to the Bayou Bouillon oil field.
He is just back from Beaumont,
where he had gone to procure
more piping and material for their
second we'll. which ia now drilling.
,Messrs. Fletcher and Barnet ac-
quired lease from the Atchafala-
va Oil and Mineral Company, and
have already shipped another COM
plete drilling outfit to Bayou
Bouiilon, which is now at Morgan
City. and will be sent to the field
on the fret available boat.
As mentioned in a previous dis
patch, development is being push
ed rapidly. st. Martinville being
the most direct way to reach this
new field, is already feeling the
benefit accruing from this develop
ment, and from the keen interest
which the oil people take in the
proposition of IAN old field on a
river" the traffic through here
promises to be very extensive, as
new companies are being organi-
zed to enter this new field.
The Atchafalsya Oil and Nine
raj Company, Limited, of St. Mar
tinville, of which, Hon. Robert
Martin is President, is preparing
to drill on their proven property,
and have full confidence of q vast
oil deposit existing on the Atcha-
falaya River. The Company is
bent on development, and have no
stock for sale.

USE GOOD ARGUMENT.

Our young friend of the Review
is too profuse in the use of strong
words to condemn those of the b.
don faction who might take ad-
vantage of the opportunity offered
them to defeat their opponents,
and in our opinion if they were to
do that, they would be guilty of
no greater political crime than
those who have taken part in pri-
mary and who have refused to
submit to the result, or those who
have signed written pledges and
have not respected them.
Political tricks are to be expec-
ted, and what is good for one side
should be good for the other. We
are of opinion that politics should
be clean. and honest, but before
using such strong language to
qualify the future possible action
of the politicians, of one side, you
should look over the recent past,
and be a little milder in your cri-
ticism of your opponents, in case
they were to do some little politi.
cal tricks.
You should criticise their wrong
doing, and If you want your criti-
cism TO have good effect, use good
arguments and not words that
might insult create friction and
hatred.
Good arguments have more
weight than strong words.

EVANGELINE PLACE.

Mayor H. P. Fournet has under
taken the task Of making a pretty
public park of the place of Evan
geline, under the oak of Evange-
line, near the bank of the Teche.
This place Of Evangeline is one
of the greatest attractions Of the
town to strangers visiting st. Mar
tinville.
The idea of Mayor Fouruet is
to erect on this place a bust or a
statue of Longfellow, and he has
already made his wishes known to
the people of Portland, Maine, the
home Of Longfellow, and it seems
that the people of the home of the
distinguished poet are willing to
contribute to this proposed monu-
ment.
We are Of opinion that this
place of Evangeline, which is not
large, should be improved, by
building brick or cement curb
ing, the ground filled in and level
led with good cement walk, and
embellished with statue of Long
fellow, the famous poet or of
Evangeline, the heroine of Long
fellows pretty poem.
Our people, particularly the la
dies, should come to the assistance
of Mayor Fournet, in this enter
prise, and make it complete sue
cess.
We ought to, and we can make
little jewell of this place if we
only put it in our mind to do so.

INDUSTRIAL CHEMISTRY.

Artificial altar Of roses is in sight.
Chemists haze good hopes of max
ing quinine by synthesis. With NOR
phine, one of a dozen alkaloids of
opium, they are experimenting in
the same direction, and like re-
mark applies to atropine. Artificial
mustard oil Is preferred by physi-
clans to the real articlelon account
of its greater purity. Oil of bitter
almonds is another synthetic
achievement. 1t has the same fla
yor as the real, though chemically
different. Citric acid, which is the
sour of the lemon, has been repro
duced; likewise Tactic acid, which is
the sour principle of sour milk. Sal
icylic acid, SO valuable as preserva-
tive and as a remedy for rheuma-
tism, was obtained formerly from
the wintergreen plant and was very
costly. Now it is cheap and manu-
featured by the ton from carbolic
acid. In its turn artificial oil of
wintergreen, derived from wood al
cohol and salicylic acid, has driven
the natural product out of the mar
ket entirely. - Saturday Evening

Soldiers as Automatons.

To convert man physically into
an imitation of a machine is, we
know, no difficult task. Long dis
lance athletes clearly prove this.
Soldiers, again, afford instances.
During the last army maneuvers of
one country batch of foot soldiers
was specially trained for long dis
lance marching. After travelling a
prodigious number of miles they
we're commanded to halt and fire,
says Cassell's Magazine. Not one
man could bring his rifle to his
shoulder and take aim. Yet at the
word t'NIarch!" all of them, totter-
ing and unsteady as they were, start
ed promptly to limp on again. They
could not perform a fresh action,
but their marching had become au-
tomato.
