Mardi Gras Festivitics.

The carnival in New Orleans this
year surpassed in splendor and extern
sive pngeantry all the Mardi Gras Gel
ebrations held in that famous city
for festivals. More people and more
extensive merry-making was in evil
dence everywhere, and the universal
verdict is that the Crescent City is a
world-beater when it comes to page
antry, parade and tableaux by mys-
tic societies.
Among the notables present this
year were Admiral w. s, Schley, Gen.
Joe Wheeler and daughters, Col. A. K.
Mcclure, the veteran Philadelphia
journalist, Miss Alice Roosevelt,
daughter of the President, Miss Root,
daughter of Secretary Root, and
many other prominent persons, who
were accorded special and courteous
recognition in q variety of pleasing
lnc1dente.
Miss Lima Goodwin, daughter o.
the editor, sends the Chronicle several
copies Of the carnival papers, showing
the numerous tableaux presented in
the various parades of Menus, Pro
teus, Rex and Comus, and they give 9
most handsome, brilliant and salts
factory idea Of the splendid pictures
as they were presented on moving
floats to the thousands of spectator
who were present to see the realistic
presentations.

Honor to Whom Honor IL Due.
Colfax, La, Feb. %, 1908.
Editor Collar Chronicle:
Inotice in your paper OF last issue,
that. in commenting on the case OF
C. H. Teal vs.. G. II. Mcknight, You
fail 10 make any notice of Mr.. w. G.
Roberts connection with the case.
We were associated together in the
case, and Mr.. Roberts prepared the
brief, and about all did in it was to
argue it before the Supreme Court. 60
the credit Of winning the case rightly
belongs to him. Icall your attention
| to this, as I do not want to take the
laurels of some one else.
Very truly yours,
w. B. CLARKE.
Webeg pardon of Mr.. W. G. Roberts
for emitting his name last week IN
our comments on the Teal Mel Knight
case. The omission was one OF those
oversights and errors that will get
into the paper occasionally, in spite
of all care and painstaking. 1t was
altogether unintentional that Mr..
Roberts name was not mentioned, he
being leading attorney in the case,
and having prepared the brief that
carried conviction to the minds OF the
Supreme Judges and gained the re-
versal.
| Alao we apoloRise to Mr.. Clarke for

Some Arkansaw Wisdom.
Up in the State Of Arkansas the cdr
tor of the Chronicle used to work with
R. s. Woolford, a typical all-round
printer and newspaper man. Bob"
Woolford, as he was known in the
early '70's, was a jovial, whole-souled
fellow, but the man that tackled him
in a newspaper controversy Vas sure
to find he had caught tartar. At
present he is the editor Of the North
Little Rock Times, which paper comes
to this Office regularly, and il one Of
our most enjoyed exchanges We
clip a few squibs from the last issue
to hand. from which it win be seen
that Bob still has vitriol and vim in
him, viz:

Dawson Club Men Arrested
 for Gambling

A special dispatch to the Vancouver Province from Dawson says:
 Two ot Dawson's biggest social clubs, whose members are business men, were ralded last night The affair caused a biz sensation, and, from all accounts, one of the biggest poker games ever run iu the North was in progress when thc officers arrived at one of the houses. Several thousand dollars' worth of gold was on the tables ot the Aurora.
 Joseph A. Clark, opposition candidate for parliament in the last election, is president of the Aurora, and he is the man who a year ago made such a TOW about the preyalence'oi gambling. Al the time the club was organized it was said that large games were immediate ly iuaugurated. Detectives watched the house, and last night they bounced upon it.
 Judge MacAulay found that the evil dence that it was common gaming house was sufficient to warrant con yictou. He therefore gave judgment against the house, and all the players were fined heavily.
