We notice in the Opelousas
Clarion that their citizens have
awakened to needs OF first. class,
modern hotel aud have rolled up
their sleeves and organized n stock
company which will build $40
600 hotel building for that small,
but growing town. Why cannot
New Iberia do as much, if there is
a city in the State more in need Of
Q modern hotel building than New
Iberia we are unable to locate it.
We conscientiously believe hotel
stock is as good, il not better than
bank stock and cannot see any rea-
son why our moneyed men should
not formulate plans for this long
felt necessity.

The lecture "Shylock' by the
Rev. Beverly Warner, at the Opera
House last Wednesday night, was
delivered to fairly good audience,
representing the intellectually Of
our city. The reverend doctor
was introduced by Hon. Walter J.
Burke in a few appropriate re-
marks. DR.. Warner complimented
the Culture Club in n few words
, and then addressed himself to his
subject. Although the lecture was
read, it was entirely devoid of that
prosy nature which usually at
tends written lectures, owing to
the charming personality Of DR..
Warner and his perfect elocntion.
We cannot of course in short
notice comprehensively review the
splendid lecture. The jew OF
Shakespeare's time was graphically
portrayed aud shown to be better
man endowed with all the feel
ings and passions Of better nature
than he was given credit for IN those
days, when the Jew was compelled
to wear the badge Of humiliation
conspicuously displayed. The jew
has "evoluted" wonderfully since
those days, even old England now
sees him in all the honorable
positions Of life, herself giving him
positions OF honor aud trust in her
government. This is one OF the
triumphs that must be dear to the
Jewish heart. In the United States
the position Of the jew is at its
best. He has invaded all the pro-
LESSONS, business, politics, arts
and sciences, and is now factor
10 the makeup Of his country.
