IN LAND OF "EVANGELlNE."
Beautiful Bayou Teche Country Ap'
peaIs to Every Visitor.

The ''Teche country" How otter
enc hears the country Of southern
LouiE.ara spoken Of and so few really
it lies In a most convenient locality
with several important little cities
and many magnificent plantations OIL
its banks. Then again, IongfelloW
immortaized the ancient river in his
Evan geline." There Is a certain some,
thing. say. dreaminess. which takes
hold Of one, and enthralled by the haze
OF the sunshine and mist You look
upon the commonplace as sunshine.
At St. Martinsville the widespread
ing "Evangeline oak" Is near the
bridge, and one can almost see the
cove into which the sldf was drawn
as Gabriel passed up the stream, each
wandering In search Of the other, and
the thick underground OF palms and
vines obscuring the gaze from the
pass er-by. The town itself seems tC
have changed but little. a settlement
more or less. The creole French is
spoken in shops and market. Narrow
brick payements, shaded by galleries
are built out to the curb, pavements
always spoken of as "banquettes. The
white chapel with its graveyard, with
two brick oven graves, claimed to be
those of the two romantic lovers, adds
greatly to the impression that you
have stepped out of the busy world
for a time and cannot realize that
somewhere electric cars are dashing
through streets or imagine traffic
stopped to allow some scurrying pc
destrian to edge to crossing.
Hero the dust Is undisturbed and
heibayou flows peacefully on. on past
some roomy, wide plantation house
on to the sugar house, with its tower
ing chimneys, sheds and machinery
Then cabins. like rows OF dusty sugar
.lOaves, add to the characteristic pan
Drama. The mammoth trees, with
their dropping moss, hanging low to
the waters edge, intermingled with
shiny palms and luxuriant ferns,
stamp the scene as tropical. If drop,
ped from the clouds you would never
hesitate to name the place as way
down south
The thriving town of New Iberia is
fast gaining prominence. Then Jean.
crete, quite lumber center, claims
recognition. The cumberland and lun,
berias facilities are fast developing
interest and attracting speculative
attention, all through the waters of
the long neglected, sleepy, unused
Teche.

Held in St. Louis During
Worlds Fair.
St Louis, Feb. 12-"Everything set
tied; you have Olympic games" IS
the wording of a cablegram received
yesterday from Michael La Grave.
Worlds Fair commissioner at Paris,
France, by the Louisiana Purchase
exposition officials.
The meaning OF the cablegram Is
that the Olympic games, which were
originally intended to be held in Chit
cago In 1904, will be held In st. Louis
during the Worlds Fair, the interna-
tional committee having SO decided.
A special committee was appointed
by President Francis some time ago
to take up the question of securing
the OLYMPIC games for st. Louis dur
ing the Worlds Fair. A number Of
meetings was held with the Chicago
gentlemen in charge of the games. In
furtherance of the project the Ath-
letic union, Of st. Louis, sent a spe-
eial committee to New York to con-
fer with the main body of the ANA
teur Athletic union In relation to Sc.
curing the American athletic events
in 1904 for st. Louis. Through the
aid of A. G. Spaulding, of Chicago,
and others prominently identified with
the matter, decision was made favor.
able to st. Louis, though dependent
upon the ultimate decision of the in
ternational committee in the Olympic
games, to which the whole question
was finally deferred.

Somehow, she seems to carry an at

Faust matinee may be missing, but

ITALIAN LIFElNSURANCE FRAUDS
Methods of the conspirators Made
Public ny Confession of One
of the Men.

New York, Feb. 12-An exposure Ut
the methods Of the conspirators in the
recently discovered Italian life insur-
ance frauds was made yesterday By
the confession Of one of the mea coz
cerned. 1t appears that the frauds
have been in operation for 10 years.
during which time the insurance com.
panies have been defrauded of hun.
dreds Of thousands of dollars. In ona
instance a company paid out $4,000
on one fraudulent risk. The head Of
the conspiracy, Mr. Krotel says, was
Bartolomeo Grino, who was recently
arrested and released under $4,000
bail Cirino is said to have disap-
peared and his bond will be ordered
forfeited.
The usual plan Of operations was
to make an application for insurance
in the name of some person In a prac-
tieally dying condition, a healthy sub
stitnte being presented for medical
examination. In cases where the orig
inal risk" fingered too long to sat
gisfy the conspirators a substitute body

amount Of the policy. These bodies
were said to have been furnished by
Joseph Tripan, an Italian undertaken
who Is now awaiting trial in the
Tombs. In some instances false death
certificates were presented, said to
have been signed by Cirino or by two
italian doctors, who are now under
heavy bail.
So well organized was the scheme
that there was regularly appointei
board of directors, that used to meet
every week to discuss the payments of
premiums falling due and pass on the
matter of the substitution of bogus
bodies in the case of risks" that did
not die until the payment of premiums
became too heavy.

LOST IN HOTELS.
Queer Things That Absentmfnded
Guests Forget to Take Away.

Queer Things Th0t ABAGn4mfn4E0
Guests Forget to Take Away.
Every hotel in New York has asstore-
room for articles left behind by guests.
1t is one of the important departments
of the establishment and often earns
the gratitude of travellers whose UNI
fortunate habit Of forgetting leads
them to look for things that are miss
ing. In hotels book is kept In which
are jotted down descriptions Of arti-
cIes forgotten. When a hotel does a
large transient business, 1t is frequent
ly with difficulty that lost articles are
arranged for Identification.
The integrity Of servants must be
relied upon to large extent. The
chambermaid takes immediate posses
sion of room upon the guests de-
parture. She picks up anything that
appears to have been left unintention-
ally. A note describing the article and
giving the name of the guest, the room
number and the time of departure is
taken to the clerk. The property is
turned over to the housekeeper and by
her to the lost department.
Said the clerk of one fashionable ho-
tel: II remember a singular case of
man who didn't respond at once to
the hall boys call for an early train.
The result was that when he did get
up he had to run. From the station
we got call on the telephone:
Hurry to my ROOM he shouted,
and on the table you'll find very val
liable package. It's my eyes. Send
them to the station
'.Sure enough, we found two glass
eyes ON the dressing table In plush
case. One was for daily use and the
other for an emergency. Guests often
forget their false teeth, but that was
the only case I ever knew of man
leaving his eyes,"
Rings and pins ara often found on
the washstand. Valuable pins are
found everywhere. the window cur
tains being a favorite depository.
Watches and revolyers bob out from
under pillows. OF course when the
owners address is known and any
thing valuable is left he is notified
and the article sent to him. If not
called for in few months, the forgot
ten article usually becomes the per-
quisite of employees. - New York
