THE HALE HOLIDAY.

A meeting of the representatives OF
Board Bros, the New York Dry Goods
Company, Billiards. Peoples store), J,
Ben Holman, Hearne Dry Goods Com
pany and the Dreyfuss Dry Goods Com
pny was held last night, at which was
considered the request of ladies for a
half holiday closing with the view of
affording recreation to the employees.
Having discussed the proposition in all
its phases, the conclusion was reached
that the half holiday could not be en-
tertained for the reason that it was not
possible to neglect the transient shop
pers and buyers who would be inconven-
fenced and disappointed if they found
closed the stores where they have been
trading. 5 -

CONFEDERATE REUNION.
Opposition of the Army of Northern
Virginia Camp.

A few days since the Army of North
ern Virginia Camp of New Orleans held
their regular meeting, at which was con
sidered the proposition Of holding the
next reunion of Confederate Veterans
in New Orleans next year. Here follows
a clipping from the New Orleans States:
"There was some discussion about
the proposition to hold the next U. C.. v.
reunion in this city. The sentiment
seemed to be almost unanimous against
it. the feeling being against the mer-
chants desire to have the old soldiers
brought here for 1mercenary purposes.
It was charged that many of the mer-
chants had been slow and penurious
when first called upon to contribute.
Their desire to have the old soldiers
return grew out of the realization that
the reunion is a better paying venture
than Carnival festivities
After warm debate a substitute pre-
vailed: '.That it be the sense Of this
association that to hold the next reunion
in the city of New Orleans would be too
early" This was regarded as more
mild and less offensive form of protest,
and was adopted by vote of I3 to 4.

CROP CONDITIONS.
Reported by the Agricultural Bureau fol
Week Ending June I6.

Cotton The weather during the week
Just closed has not been favorable for
cotton. Showers have relieved to some
extent the drouthy conditions which
were prevailing at the. close of last week
although more rain is. needed IN most
sections. Unseasonably cool weather
which prevailed during the greater por-
tion of the week has retarded growth
of cotton generally, and seriously IN
jured young cotton, causing the plant te
die in places. Some Improvement in the
crop is shown on sandy land, but or
black land the effects of the cold have
been more marked, and in places has
completely stopped the growth OF the
plant. The crop is two to four weeks
late as a rule. FIELDS are in a good state
of cultivation.
Corn: Some improvement IS reported
but a rule the corn crop is backward
and does not promise an average crop
Early corn is silIing and tasseling yer,
low. The crop needs warm rains.

EXAGGERATED REPORT.
Not Murdered nor Dead, but Alive and
Doing Well

There have been and are being circu-
lated details Of a blood curdling affray
which it is alleged occurred recently at
a crossing Of the Kansas City Southern
near the shops. According to the story
the man was assaulted and beaten into
insensibility with bricks and stones and
was taken to the sanitarium where he
died.
The man did not die. The man is
alive. His name is Davis. It is said he
was going about with chip on his
shoulder and was soon accommodated
In the melee he was worsted. He re
ceiyed scalp and other flesh wounds
from which there was a free blood let.

DAVIS MEMORIAL.
A New Design Requested Instead of
the Arch.

1t is announced in a telegram from
Richmond, Va, that an entirely new de-
sign will be made for the South's me-
mortal to Jefferson Davis. 1t will be the
joint work of Edward v Valentine, the
Virginia sculptor, and w. C. Noland, a
young Richmond architect. Their selec-
ton Thursday night was the outcome of
the two days session here of the board
of directors of the Davis Monument AS
sociation. This means, of course, the
final abandonment of the Gudebrod de-
sign for memorial archh, which it was
found would have been too costly, be-
sides its being unpopular.
So far as can be learned there are no
restrictions put upon the work of the
artist and architect except that the me-
mortal shall not cost exceeding the
$62,oo in hand It is thought the me-
mortal will probably take the form of
a sarcophgus.

GEN. WHEELER,s PRoTEsT.

AS anticipated by the men who know
him, General Wheeler has met the
sinister who traduced the citizens Of
New Orleans and misrepresented him
beyond all decent bounds. We say has
met the sinister, is in a figurative sence,
since the consunnate liar and SANDER

slander will be better understood by a
perusal Of General Wheeler's letter
which is clear and candid He has writ

dier, but why waste time or breath in
alluding to skunk who has deliberate
" lied, and who, having lied wantonly,

RELEASED FROM JAIL.
He Was Held for the Murder Of Joseph
inc Lacalle.

f 3 Is
Henry Jones, negro, who had been
in jail since January, was released yes
terday. He was charged with the m.ir-
der of Josephine Laea1le, the old nurse
in the home of Mr.. Tobinski. The case
was nolle pressed by District Attorney
Land. The accused was represented by
Leon R. Smith. These queries may be
pertinent: Was he indicted by the grand
jury? Was the evidence SO frivolous as
to lead to his release on a mol pros
when called to trial?
The murder Of Josephine Lacalle Is
one of several murders which have oc-
Cured in Shreveport within six months
and are mysteries still. Who murdered
Josephine Lacalle and others?

COMMENCEMENT.

A large and aDpreciative audience
attended the commencement exercises
of St. Mary's Convent at the opera
house last night The numbers were well
prepared and ereditably executed. The
opening drill and chorus was perhaps
the best number and was well received.
A clever bit of acting was that bv little
Miss Jennie Bres at Judith, the discon-
tented girl. A happy conception was the
boat scene for the vaIedictory of Miss
Rosa ZWally, the graduate in English.
There were no waits and everything
went as smoothly as if the actors we're
