DR. d. II. BILIIIJ.

An honorable career was closed when
DR.. D. II. Billiu was called from earth
at 2 o'clock Friday morning at his home
in this city. DR.. Billiu was aged 81 years,
and by his works and his deeds he had
exemplifed in practice the teachings
which ,ennoble man and draw him to his
God. He was twice married, his first wife
being Miss Mary Booth, the children
of this marriage being three sons, Rus
sell, Garnett and Otis, and two daugh-
ters. Claudia and Isabel. His second wife
was Miss Florence Van Hoose, who with
a daughter, Ada1ine, survive him. As a
physician DIR. Billiu was at the head of
his profession. He was amiable and gem
tie as a woman, and considerate of 9TH
ers. AS a husband and father he was
kind and affectionate, and as citizen
and a friend he fulfilled his part as be-
came man Of worth. His 1ife-work IS
an heritage Of priceless value to his
loved ones He was .lember OF Ca
lanthe Lodge Knights of Pythias, which
paid him their last tribute of respect.

THE GRAND. JURY.
WILL CONVENE MONDAY NOON
IN SPECIAL SESSION.
A Vigorous Inquiry Will Be Prosecuted
into the Mysterious Murder of
Mrs. A. L. Matthews.

The grand jury will convene in the
court house at II o'clock tomorrow, in
special session, to inquire into the muir
der of Mrs Alice Matthews. The con-
vening of this body by Judge Land is on
the recommendation of the jury of in
guest. What may be developed by this
grand jury can not be anticipated. The
crime which they must investigate is
shrouded in the deepest gloom of nys7
terry. and yet a clue infnitesi1nal may
lead to an important conclusion. With
surnlises and with theories which are
many and little substance, if any, in fact,
the grand jury and the district attorney
will be put to test as has never been
experienced by such authority in Caddo
parish. But if, after a thorough exar1i-
.li;atssoI the murder should still maintain
its mystery, there will be some comfort
IN the reflection that the case was not
permitted to lapse for inattention, and it
is probable that this grand irrv NAV
probe into the murder sufficiently, If not
successfully, to strengthen the a1l-pow-
erful arm of the law to reach beyond and
perhaps in time secure the murderer. AS
regards examinations Of this character
and to court proceedings in general it is
true that the greatest number of people
have an aversion to any connection with
any affair or matter which would lead
them into court as witnesses, but this is
an extraordinary case when no inforna-
tion should be withheld from the grand
jury and the district attorney This is no
time for hesitation or shirking duty.
disagreeable as it may be, and in such
an emergency it is the duty of ( every
good citizen. man or woman, regardless
OF color Or condition, to in1part to the
legal authorities whatever may be known
of this horrible crime.

Of the people. Our only regret is that we
c. uld not reach the public, on this ques-
tion before this issue Of the Caucasian,
and we trust our views will have the
happy effect of restoring confidence and
the fullest safety in the breast of every
good lawabding citizen, regardless of
his race or creed. 1t is not ALWAYS the
mission of the newspaper to publish cx-
aggerated and blood od-curdling sensations,
as there is time for high duty and wise
counsel.
AS an indication OF the absurdity of
the reports to which we have referred,
we reproduce the comments of the two
newspapers published by negroes in
Shreveport in the interests of the negro
The News-Enterprise, A. H. Samue1s
proprietor, says:
"A rumor is being circulated that the
negroes are holding meetings and organ
izing for the purpose of 'retaliating for
the burning of a dead negro
II 10 SFei too oD9ulu 10 DENY, Dut as
some people will believe anything about
the negro, we desire to inform them that
it is not So
The negroes were Mortified at the
dastardly and atrocious murder of Mrs.
Matthews and attempt to take the life of
the little girl, and when it was an
nounced that the cuIprit had been killed
while attempting to escape the negroes
approved the set
Since it is admitted that Ed WASH
ington was innocent of the crime, the
negroes, in common with all fair minded
citizens, believe mistake has been made
and are anxious to see the murderer
captured, be he white or colored, and
dealt with according 10 law.
Pray tell us why should the negroes
retal1ate! If irresponsible parties have
justified by their language such ru1nors,
they do not represent the sentiment of
the race, the majority Of whom are for
law and order
The Shreveport Watchman, S. H.
Ralph editor and business manager,
says:
I'VE appeal to our people to keep cool.
Nothing can be done about these sad
occurrences. The more you say, the
worse you make it. There is no use to
add fury to folly.
Improve all of your opportunities,
stand by yourselves and your race and
never blame the good white people for
what the bad ones do. If you are true to
yourselves and to your best interests God
will right your wrongs for you or give
YOU powerful arm to right them for
yourselves.
In the meantime go to work, save
your money, educate your children and
each them to be industrious and law
abiding.
We have too many no account young
negroes in the town dives, gambling
lens and out of profitable employment.
Such Jail trash will not <only bring re-
,roach upon all the other good negroes,
out would murder Jesus Christ if they
lad chance. Let us honestly endeavor
o lessen their numbers by aiding the
authorities to detect and punish them.
We have the best white people with us,
md when we have done our duty no
larm can come from appealing to the
authorities to give us better protection.
Be as good as you can; keep as cool as
'ou can, and never act fool until God
iies.-S. Fl. R."
This is good wholesome counsel which
very sensible, self-respecting negro
hotild take to heart
