NEW HAVEN HIGH SCHOOL.
Principal Gushing Tried to Force Pin
 Designs on Seniors

Oeslgns on Seniors.
 New Haven, Oct 22-At present in the New Haven high school there is q strain of discord between the princi- pal, Dr John P. Cushing, and the scholars of the school generally. The Radiator, published in the school by the Beta chapter of Alpha Delta Sig ma fraternity, has taken up the cudgeI and in the October issue of the paper comes out In bold words attacking the attitude which Dr Cushing has taken in regard to the selection of a class pin.
 The members of the senior class say that their rights to select such a pin as they think suitable has been inter. fered with. Some short time ago pr Gushing had several boys in the school submit designs for school pin He then took these designs and selecting the one he deemed best placed an or der with concern to manufacture the pin.
 The matter was announced to the scholars. They were told it was thought best to have one general de- sign and each class could have it's nu- morals placed on it. Insthe past each class has had it own individual de sign, they have given the contract to l whoever they thought fit and have been allowed to carry out the private matters of their own class as they desired.
 The Radiators editorial follows: Ut has been the custom, both in Hilhouse and Boardman. that the sew eral classes, when they reached junior year, should form themselves into an I organized body and govern themselves I in regard to the election of officers and I committees-the pin committee not excepted. This was precedent. And it is one that ought not to Be broken. But events are tending strongly to this thing.
 .'With all respect to our principal, we would question most strenuously his right to interfere with the govern ing of the class of 1904 That our rights have been meddled with Is very | well shown by the fact that we are not allowed to have class meetings. I Are all the old customs which have 1 been in vogue since the high school began, going to break up in such 3 short time? No! It must not be. Our senior year has well commenced and no steps have been taken to form ar organized class of 1904. True there has been considerable talk. (not in tho class) about class pin and We are q given to understand that pin has been chosen for us! The seniors mus get together and stop this intrusion upon their rights.
 stPerhaps there may be a change by the time this appears in print-we hope SO"

PATRICK MAHASEY's CASE.
Was Educated in Dublin and Taught
 School.

Since the publication of the story concerning Patrick Mahaney, whose correct name is Mahoney, the farm hand who worked thirty-two years on farms in White Hills, and who iu that time saved q comfortable sun Of money. although never receiving over SIP a month in wages, quite number of interesting incidents have come out Among these are the fact that during all the years he worked on the farms he visited Bridgeport only once, An sonia two or three times and Derby probably a dozen times.
 He went to Derby to live last No vember, after giving up his work on the farms. and for a while was without employment, and John O'Hara got him a position. He talked with Mr O'Hara about his life probably more than with any other man in this country and told him why he came to America.
 According to MT O'Hara, Mahaney when a lad was educated In Ireland at the schools there and in later years went to Dublin, where he became very proficient in mathematics and in sur yeying. After finishing his course thera he was appointed instructor in mathematics in one of the largS schools one of the best in Ireland, and while teaching his mind gave way and he had to be taken to an asylum.
 After six months i'll the asylum he became so much better that he was.re- leased. but the physicians told him he ,nus+ give up teaching and work alto yether in the open air, if he wished to retain the use of his intellect, and they advised him to go to work on a farm. The idea of going on a farm in Ireland struck him as a dishonor and, believ, ing it would be a reflection on his fam ily. he came to this country and worked here all the years on White Hill
 He was a good penman, as speci mems of his writing show, and he was excellent at figures, being able to add column a great deal faster than many experienced bookkeepers and was aO- solutely accurate.
 He told Mir O'Hara that his knowi- edge of mathematics never left him, and only a few weeks ago he gave an exhibition which fairly astounded those who did not know his early train ing. After all the years of hard man. ual labor on the farm his hand had not lost the art of forming the letters of the alphabet well Within very few months he did some surveying on on1 of the farms in White Hills which was accurately done.
 After coming to this section he keps up correspondence with his family, but that was dropped and for twenty: Ave years he did not hear from them r.ater through the assistance of \ ! rss ..est he learned that he had sisters l Mnd brother livina

The Teche Improvement.

Last Sunday evening quite an
important meeting was held at the
Court house to discuss the posi-
bility of Immediately obtaining
deep water in the Bayou Teche,
and we were pleased to see a large
gathering of influential and repre-
sentative men from New Iberia,
st. Martinville and Breaux Bridge
present.
The meeting was called to order
by Mr.. A. V. Fournet, after this
was done Mr.. Fournet was unani-
mously elected the permanent Pre-
sident of the meeting and Mr.. Vic
j. Jaeger permanent Secretary.
Mr.. Fournet explained in clear
manner the condition in which the
Teche was last summer during the
rice pumping season, when the
bayou was pumped almost dry
and the great expense incurred by
the puming plants on account o.
the low stage of the water.
This important matter was fully
discussed by several of our citi
zens, and information was gained
as explained by Mr.. David Rees
that the Bayou Courtableau which
is fed by the Atchafalaya river
contained ut all times an abundant
supply Of water, and this watel
could flow in the Teche through
Bayou Fuselier if the dam tina
was allowed to form, was only re
moved.
We are told that before the war
the barges containing goods com
: ing from St. Louis used to conn
here by that water route, and j
the dam was removed that tn,
: Teche would again maintain a lie
vel of from five to six feet NOR
than its present low tide.
The Teche Deep Water Improve
: ment Association was formed ant
a committed of ten citizens wa
appointed to look deeper into tn
,, matter, get surveys and make al
: estimate of the cost of opening th
the dam, that is supposed woul'
give the Teche immediate relief
and also to take the steps necessa
> ry to bring the matter before Con
gress in order to have the improve
ments completed by the nations
government.

Gone to his everlasting rest.
Last Friday evening at 1:45
o'clock, surrounded by his entire
family and many of his dear rela-
tives and friends, A. V. Fleming
passed from the living to the
realm of the dead, though sur
rounded by many dear ones, who
could not suppress their deep grief,
their means and their sobs filled
the room at the time that his no.
bic, pure soul took its flight to its
Maker, he was conscious to the
last, called his dear ones to him
anil babe them good bye calm
and resigned as be has lived, he
felt prepared to appear before his
God, as he had lived as all right
eous men should live, aud death
to him was more like a peaceful
elumber than the horrible end
that living humanity fear SO much.
Mr.. Fleming was the noblest of
men, he was endowed with a char
acter that distinguished him among
other men. he was good, kind and
charitable, to all, he was never az
gressive, but always was with the
weak, the oppressed, the poor or
the sick, his kind services or his
assistance was never sought in
vain, and when he could be Of any
assistance to the sick and the
needy, it was not necessary to look
for him because he was always the
first one to be where he could have
been of any assistance, and to do
some good.
He was a loving husband. a
kind father, a faithful friend and
a model citizens, always on the
side of right and justice, and to
do good to those around him.
His funeral at half past four
Saturday evening was the largest
we have seen here for many years,
Fleming was loved, esteemed and
respected by every one, and bust
ness was practically suspended
during his funeral.
Mr.. Fleming was 55 years of age
at the time of his death. and had
spent his best days right here in
st. Martinville. He was born in
Martinique in 1847 and came to
to the United States in 1S48, and
has lived in New Orleans, Natchi-
toches and Baton Rouge, coming
to st. Martinville in 1865 where
he married Miss Alice Broussard,
reared a large family and since re-
sided. He was man of vast ex-
perience aud had occupied more
different kind of offices than any
man in the parish, he was boss
drayman, drug clerk. merchant
hotel keeper, warehouse man,
steam boat owner and clerk, was
twice elected justice of the peace,
was boss carpenter and contractor,

Confederate Veterans.

We publish elsewhere in this
paper, a call for a meeting of the
Confederate Veterans of st. Mar
tin parish, to meet here on Sun
day February 22nd., with a view
of organizing a permanent camp.
We believe this is good idea,
and we hope that the old soldiers
will turn up in large numbers and
join in the organization of a camp
in this town.
We have quite a number of the
old soldiers in this parish, and
nothing would give us more plea
sure than to see the old veterans
meet here once a month and spend
a day together, and recount the
hardship, experience and other in
teresting incidents of the war.
Our veterans are heroes who
have spent four years of their best
days on the battle ground, fight
ing bravely and nobly In defence
of their country, sacrificing life,
wealth and property for what they
considered their right. These no.
BILE warriors of their prides of the
Southern States, and they should
be our pride also, and We are of
opinion that we, the younger peo-
pie who have not had or known
the hardship of the war, take a
hand with our old beloved soldiers
and help them to provide for their
camp.
We would suggest that the We
terans get permission to use the
hall just secured by the town au-
thorities, back of Mayor Fournet's
home. for their meeting. and that
the ladies of the town meet the
old Confederates and tell them,
Eve will fix your half. That the
ladies make subscription to equip
the hall with the required number
of chairs tables etc., and rarticu-
larly adorn the hall with a. COME
derate flag. We are sure that our
people will respond to the call for
a small contribution that will per-
NIT the good enterprising ladies
to fix hall for our old Veterans OF
the Confederate War.
