The excursion given under the aus
pices of the Presbyterian Sunday
School last Wednesday was one of the
most delightful in the history of the
school. The day was charming in
every respect and the attendance was
enough to make the trip a financial
success. The management were able
to charter the Steamer G. F. Brady,
take all the children of the school
free, clear all expenses of boat and
trolley, and have a balance in the trea-
sury for the benefit of the Sunday
School Library. The success of the
enterprise is due to the faithful and eff
cient work of the committee composed
of George W. Taylor, Frank f. Evans
and J. Newell Lloyd.

cries which have from time to time been

Irving is said to be an experiment to

poet Sardou has ranged the greatest

HISTORIC OLD MILITARY
SCHOOL IN LOUISIANA
Ground on Which Youths of the State
Are Trained.

The Louisiana State University and
Agricultural and Mechanical College is
known as the military college of the
South. 1t is located at Baton Rouge,
and numbers among its graduates many
men who are now officers in the regu.
lar army. Gen. w T. Sherman was the
first president of the institution before
the civil war. and Notwithstanding his
espousal of the Northern cause. hia
memory is still revered at this scene
of his former labcrs and his life-size
portrait in oil occupies prominent
place in the handsome assembly hall
of the college.
The site of the university is historic
ground. 1t was for many years a mill,
tary post, and the garrisoas of France.
England. Spain and the United States
have all at different periods occupied
it After ii was abandoned for military
purposes II was turned over to the State
of Louisiana for purposes of education.
The original buildings. however. still
stand. and, with the flag floating over
them, present a striking and beautiful
appearance.
Here in 1779. Calves. the Spanish gov
ernor general of Louisiana. after an en-
gagement that lasted for three days.
Spaniards were in turn driven out by a
party OF Americans, and this marked
the passing of West Florida from the
domain OF Spain. In 1861 the Confeder-
ates captured the post, and the next
year desperate battle. involving both
land and sea forces, was fought near
by, and the Confederate ram Arkansas
was blown up in the view of the land
batteries.
Many distinguished officers served
here while 1t was still a military post.
Among those whose names are asso-
ciated with the place are Wilkinson
and the first Wade Hampton. Winfield
Scott, and Zachary Taylor. Grant and
Lee and Stonewall Jackson. Mcclellan
and Joe Johnston. Bragg. Rosecrans,
Longstreet. Harvey. Thomas, and Beau
regard, Forest and Phil Sheridan, Har-
dee and Hood. Hancock and Custer. Ad-
miral Porter and Bishop" Gen. Polk
Among the great civilians we recall the
names of Abraham Lincoln. Clay and
Calhoun. and Jefferson Davis. There is
hardly a place elsewhere in the South
so rich in historic associations.
The university is true to it's tradi-
lions. The sons of Louisiana are sol
diers by Inheritance. and while they
revere the cause for which their fathers
fought, no Northern boys are today
more loyal to the flag which is lowered
at sunset every evening to the we'll
known strains Of retreat. while the bat
