Manager Selected by the Ball
Tossers
Albert c Eseudier the Fortunate
Individual

Albert C Escudier has assumed the
managementof the Abbeville Grays.
A meeting of the club was held We'd
nesday evening for the purpose of tran
sacting both important and minor bust
ness, as well as to select o manager to look
after the business affairs of the organlza-
tions. with the result as above stated.
Mr. Escudier' knowledge of the natio-
nal game and his love of the sport IS Sc
cond to that of none other to be found in
this vicinity, and there is every reason to
believe that he will prove the right man
in the right place and do all in his power
to place the organization where it justly
belongs way up in the first and foremost
ranks.
Frank Hubert, former manager having
resigned as such the selection of another
to fill this important position was made
necessary, and the boys lost no time in SO
doing.

Weather
And Crop Conditions About
This Parish
And Parish. Salt Water Now in
Bayou Tigre.

The weather during the past week has
been decidedly peculiar. With every in
dication Of rain there has been only a
light shower Tuesday night. Saturday
night q fair rain fell, but the brisk north
wind o dried up the moisture and by
noon the followingd day dust was flying.
Old corn has been laid by and is needing
rain. while the young corn should have
rain before being worked out.
A little early cotton is in bloom, but as
a general thing the stand is thin.
Rice is in good shape and the supply of
water il abundant. except along Bayou
Tigre where salt water has made it's ap-
p%earence. Elias Rroussard and Teburs
Meyers are putting down deep wells to
save their crops and others no doubt con-
template doing likewise.

Near Future
Boring for Oil is About to be
Commenced

While there have been some little deve.
lopments In local oil circles during the
past week, especially considerable talk
and the securing of options on land for de.
velopment purposes, nothing of an un-
usually important nor startling nature
have appeared on the surface.
1t 10 said that the new oil company has
about completed the necessary arrange
ments to begin the work of developing
their holdings in and about this
city, and future developments will be
watched with e keen degree of interest
and no small amount of attention not
alone in this vicinity but throughout the
state.
Taking everything into consideration,
the prospects are exceedingly bright and
the bringing in of q genuine oil spouter
here would occasion no sudden surprise,
but would bring %unbounded JOY to the
hearts of all those in any wise interested.
We feel assured that the work about to be
1naugurated here will prove successfully
and be the initial step towards bringing
into existence a wonderful new oil fed.
perhaps one OF the greatest in the
world. s.

MAD DOC
Occasioned No Little Excite
ment Here
--
Last Sunday. No One Bitten,
However

Quite a lot of excitement was occasion
ed last Sunday by a mad dog running at
large on our principal streets. Bnt the
excitement did not continue for any con-
siderable length of time, as the creature
was soon killed and the many people who
witnessed the occurrence were soon Quilted
wnen it was discovered than one was
bitten.
Inasmuch as this is the time of the year
when mad dogs are not uncommon, people
should be somewhat careful at all t,mes
and espe cially SO when walking at
night.

AFTER TIE SPOILS.

The Brooklyn Eagle and the East
ern patriots who are so a~nxiously
urging that the Democratic party be
harmonized by Clevelandizing it, have
no platform OF principles to present.
Their sole argument is, "We can
win with Cleveland"
Fortunately for the country and
the preservation Of the Republic the
bulk of the Democratic party profess
that political faith for some other
reason than a means of holding Of
fee. These boot licking tine SERVERS
who yearn for the flesh pots and spoils
of victory, should restrain their impa-
tience and not attempt to lead until
they are reasonably assured OF q re-
spectacle following.
The common people, the masses
who are being ground down in the
contest between Mammon and men
have not forgotten that these same
harmony howlers voted for Mckinley
in 1896 and made the Republican
triumph more decisive and Democratic
defeat full OF acrimony. The men
who voted for Bryan in 1896 and
1900 do not regard Office holding as
the chief aim of existence. From
their actions and words it is all that
the Cleveland thermometers stand
for,

UNITED STATES HAS
LARGEST STOCK GOLD

At the present time the United
States possesses the largest stock of
gold Of any country In the world. On
the first Of October the amount of
gold In this country exceeded
81, ,277, 900, 900. Great Britain has
s628, 100000 or less than one half
Of what the United States possesses.
The stock Of gold In the country
has increased during the last five
years about s376, 900. 900. and dur.
ing the same time Great Britain has
added 800. 600, 900, to its gold sup.
ply. France el37, 200, 900, Germany
s95, 900, 900, and Austro- Hungary
e55. 900, 900, while Russia has lost
$40. 900, 900.
In the whole Of Europe the net
increase In the stock of gold during
the past i've years IL estimated ut
ti23, 900, 900.
This shows that the increase In the
stock Of gold In the United States
during the past i've years has been
nearly M large as the increase Of all
Europe. We are adding Ia our sup.
ply Of gold at the rate Of about
$50, 900, 100 per year ut the present
time.
The contrast of conditions at the
present time and ~ they existed ton
years ago makes these figures very
interesting. In 1899 Rlod was beinR
exported To Eourops on a large scale.
European bankers feared that II this
country did not yet on a silver basis.
II would not remain on u gold basis.
aud our government found u great
deal of difficulty In maintaining the
stock of gold Of 800, 900. 600 as re-.
quired by law, aud great many
prominent hnanciers In the country
feared that the government would he
unable tn pay the interest on the
national debt In gold. Contrasting
the conditions throughout the
country at the present time with
1898 shows the absurdity of making
comparisons. New York Banker.

Two bills were introduced In the

designed to strengthen the laws regu.
lating the use Of the mails. One Ia
aimed at the "Get Rich Quick" con.
Germs. and at guessing contests. The
act Of 1890 forbidding lotteries IL
amended by inserting the following
language In the prohib bitory action.
''Or any person or company con.
Quoting any competition or contest
involving the award Of prizes and
based upon the relative accuracy Of
Ruesses or estimates; or conducting
any schemes or devices for betting,
wagering or making pools upon horse
races or other similar contests. ="
1t is sought by the amendment to
protect the public against fraud, 10

which accompanies the betting on
horses.
