Great List of Attractions is Promised by
the Guards and Company-Papers in
Cities Where Carnival Has Been Given,
Highly Praise the Clean Character of
Its Exhibits.
Judging from the good words said of the
Robinson Carnival Association by the press
in various cities where Manager Robinson
has exhibited his attractions, the Guards
of New Iberia made no mistake in secur-
ing their services for their Free Street
Fair and Carnival to be given during the
week of February 9th to 10th, inclusive.
The Augusta Chronicle, of recent date,
speaks as follows Of this company and its
attractions: every pledge has been
carried out, not only by the local com
mittee Of Elks, but also by the manager
of the carnival. The exhibits are clean,
moral and absolutely high-class in every
particular, indeed, there is not single
exhibit to which any lady or child cannot
60 with the utmost feeling OF security. Any
enterprise which tries to attract public
attention must not only possess merit,
intrnsically, but a commercial value as
well, particularly the latter. Street fairs
are incentives to trade and profit, the
fundamental principals of success.
In the list or principal attractions fur
nished by the Robinson Carnival company
which is undoubtedly the best street fair
organization in the Uuited States, one is
especially nothing short of astounding.
1t consists of Kearny P. Speedy, the in
trepid and world renowned high diver,
who descends from an elevation of ninety
seven feet into a small tank containing
just thirty-six inches of water in depth.
Another free exhibit that creates wonder
is that known as Mile Oroco, Queen of
the Spiral Tour. The exhibits under the
tents are very diversified and include
"Hiiman" the Man of Mystery;
"Lunnette," Queen of the Anbrant All, )"
the Celebrated Electric Theatre" Gun
der the Red DOME" weird temple of
wonderful sensations, "The Crystal
Maze" costing $40, 900 to build, "The
Only Demoncycle Whirl,' "Osau, the
Hindo Snake Batter" the biggest Ferris
Wheel that ever travelled, "She' the latest
and most marvellous illusion Of the age,
Turtle George" the ladies pet midget
and musical prodigy, and many other
features of equal interest. The support
that the members of the Guard now ask of
the public of New iberia and vicinity is
that they be given for their show that
patronage and encouragement which it
deserves. Capt. Henry Guidry has charge
of arrangements, and every man in his
command will do his utmost to carry their
gala week to the most successful issue
ever known in this section of the country.

GERMANS BULLYING

Germany's silence in regard to
the bombardment of the Venezuelan
fort of San Carlos by her bloCkad-
ing warships looks uncanny. 1t
may be assumed that the Berlin
government gave the blockading
commander large discretion, but it
is incomprehensible that he would
fail to report the excuse for vio-
lence.
1t will be remembered that there
was an engagement "a few days ago
still officially unexplained, between
the guDboat Panther aud the shore
forts, the result Of which was to
send the German llmping away
with several wounds. Now the
Panther returns, reinforced by the
cruisers Nineta and Fake, and
standing we'll out beyond the range
of the shore guns, they send 1000
shells into the fort with the result
of killing twelve Venezuelans and
WOundlng fifteen others.
In the absence Of official infor-
mation-indeed its absence only
aggravateS suspicion - Germany
can not wonder that the event is
surmised to be aplain ease of bully
ing IN the first iustanceand revenge
10 the second Stung Ivy the re-
pulse OF the Panther, the Germans
apparently went il to show what
they could do the little fort If
this is the correct view, it Is a
cowardly piece of business, and 1t
is almost enough to provoke the
United States into withdrawing her
friendly offices if there is not an
adequate disavowal by the German
government.
From the first the Germans have
been more intolerant and aggres-
sive. They sunk the little Vene
znelan boats and nave been unable
to conceal their desire for blood
shed Whether it is the order of
the kaiser or only his spirit break
ing out in natural development,
all the circumstances fasten large
degree of the responsibility upon
the government. The acts Of an
officer not expressly disavowed
become the acts of the sovereign,
and it is quite in order for the
United States as friendly power
seeking to effect a peacable settle
ment to pause in the proceedings
and inquire ofthe emperor whether
he means to abide by the process
of arbitration or intends to take
pay out of the hide Of Venezuela
before the preliminary protocol
can be arranged.
And it is quite as proper for
Great Britain to make inquiry Of
her ally. She is identified with
him in concert of the original plan
and she should make it known that
this outbreak is entirely beyond
the agreement. Else she herself
will suffer the reproach Of tacit
approval.
The provocation mustbe extreme
to warrant bombardment while
peace negotiations are under way.
Minister Bowen has just arrived to
represent Venezuela. The pro-
posals of the powers have not vet
been formally exchanged. But it
has been agreed all around to seek
settlement by arbitration and the
warships and forts alike ought to
be flying flags of truce.
Unless the German commander
can show supreme cause Of action
his conduct is an act of bad faith
which should be taken fully into
account in striking the balances of
right and wrong-HoustOn Post.

The scientific lecture 10y Dr. W

arv 9th is the lirst event of The
course given by the Ne" IBERIA
high school.
Everything looks very favorable
for the early construction OF new

needed ia New iberia.
In the Southern States there are
two hundred and twelve countries
in which one-fifth or more OF the
native white males Of voting age
(twenty-one years old aud over)
are illiterate. In two States, North
Carolina aud Louisiana, nearly
half the counties are in this class.
In ffty-one Of the Southern conn-
ties the illiteracy in thl: class is
thirty per cent. or more. OF these,
three are in Virginia, three in
North Carolina, nine in Kentucky,
eighteen in Louisiana aud eighteen
in Texas. In any Of these counties
the balance of power is i'll the
hands OF the illiterate voters, aud
illiteracy is king. Under such
conditions democratic government
must be in great danger. Its form
may remain, but its substance can
hardly exist longer. If it does
continue to exist, 1t can only be to
illustrate the truth Of the fact that
it is woe unto any country when
the ignorant man and tho evil bear
rule in it.
Of the tfty-nine parishes IN Louis
lama twenty three, more than one
third, are in this class: West

SYNOPSIS OF LECTURE.
In commencing Mr.. Clark de-
scribes briefly and clearly some of
the principal pieces of apparatus
which be uses i'll the lecture, illus
tratlng his remarks by stereoptlcon
diagram; and he then proceeds to
take up the different subjects Gov
cred by the lecture.
ACETYLENE GAS.
The process Of manufacture of
the corbide aud production of the
gas is shown experlmentally, and
the gas is exhibited in manner
which has seldom been seen out
side Of the inventors laboratory
PROJECTION MICROSCOPE.
By means of this instrument the
NEST minute microscopic objects,
such as the tongue Of the fly, are pro-
jected upon the screen with great
clearness and definition, SO that
this part of the lecture is one of
rare enjoyment.
LIQUID AIR.
The unprecedent low tempera-
lures which have been reached
through the medium of liquid air
are illustrated by the freezing of a
quantity of mercury 80 hard that
it is readily used as hammer with
which nails are driven.
ELECTRIC WELDING UNDER WATER.
Where the character of the cleo
trio current supplied to the hall il
suitable, this beautiful and bril-
liant experiment can be success
fully shown, pieces of iron bar
being heated to welding point by
simply dipping them in water.
THE tx" RAYS.
After explaining how Roentgen
accidentally made this wonderful
discovery, some beautiful expert
ments are shown with Crooks
tubes, illustrating not only the tx"
rays as they are to-day, but also
much of the interesting work that
led up to the discovery.

and the fact only became matter Of
public knowledge when the costly
garment was stolen. MIR. Mills
attended dinner in the house of a

return home that his overcoat had
disappeared, having probably been
carried off by an expert hall thief.
The owner offers reward of 800

Ella Wheeler Wilcox expresses
a truth when she says that the real
meaning of a successful man is a
man who has made the most of
himself in the best sense-physi-
cally, mentally and spiritually, who
has done the most he could day by
day to brighten, cheer and better
other lives as he went along, who
has controlled his selfish impulses,
and left the people he has asso-
ciated with little happier and bet
ter for knowing him. Such man,
If he is Millionaire or a homeless
wander like Christ-is a success.

Water Melon and Pumpkins can be
planted after most Of the crop has been
taken of.
or course general variety will require
more help and experience, but the prospect
Of success is better, and more money
made.
We can also grow a special crop, such
as Cabbage, Onions, ArtIchoke all pays.
1t must be we'll understood the land must
be put in thorough state of cultivation and
we'll drained otherwise it would be useless
to undertake to grow truck, and should be
managed by one who understands the
business.
As there is no one at present engaged
in shipping truck consequently l can
not give any information as regards how
to dispose of the crop, however we have
Railroads, and arrangement can be made

In TrODical Chimes.

George Wood, jr., arrived
home last Saturday from a trip
to Havana. George says that
before going south he and his
father visited for several days
with friends at Niagara Falls,
and that they also had a nice
visit in New York City with
Mr. aud Mrs. d. w. Diggs, who
were inquiring about all their old
MiIbank friends. They sailed
from New York January 18th,
going to the Danish island of st.
Thomas, which Uncle Sam has
recently been talking about pur-
chasing, and from there touched
at the islands Of st. Kites and
An tigua, belonging to England,
and then spent several days at
the French island of Martinique,
visiting Fort de France and the
ruins of St. Pierre, destroyed by
volcano last year. The volcano
was quiet while the excursion
lists were there, but two days
after they left Mount Pelee
belched forth in one of it's
periodical fits and blowed off the
whole top of the mountain The
only persons now living at st.
Pierre are a few police officers
and excavators. The excursion.
lists went from there to the
English islands of st. Vincent
and Jamaica, and then to Cuba,
landing at Santiago, where they
saw one Of the wrecks Of the
Spanish feet and also viewed the
San Juan battle field, going from
there to Havana. George says
Havana is a fine city and that
his father is very much pleased
with the climate and condi-
tions there, that he expects
to remain there several weeks,
and would possibly invest
in real estate in the city be-
fore leaving.
