ANCIENT MILITARY SCHOOL
Men of Louisiana Receive Their Training.

The Louisiana state university and agricultural and mechanical college is known as the military college of the south, says the Baltimore Sun. It is To- cated at Baton Rouge. and numbers among it's graduates many men who are now officers in the regular army. Gen. w. T. Sherman was the first president of the institution before the civil war, and, notwithstanding his espousal of the northern cause, his memory is still rev. cred at this scene of his former labors, and his life-size portrait in oils occupies 8 prominent place in the handsome as- sembly hall of the college
 The site of the university is historic ground. It was for many years mill itary post, and the garrisons of France, England, Spain and the United States have all at different periods occupied it. After it was abandoned for military purposes it was turned over to the state of Louisiana for purposes of education. The original buildings, however, still stand, and, with the flag floating over them, present a striking and beautiful appearance.
 Here, in 1779, Calves, the Spanish gov- ernor general of Louisiana, after an en- gagement that lasted for three days, cap tured the British garrison. The Span iards were in turn driven out by party of Americans, and this marked the passing of west Florida from the do- main of Spain. In 1861 the confeder- ates captured the post and the next year desperate battle, involving both land and sea forces, was fought near by, and the confederate ram Arkansas was blown up in the view of the land bat teries.
 Many distinguished officers served here while it was still military post Among those whose names are associ- ated with the place are Wilkinson and the first Wade Hampton, Winfield Scott and Zachary Taylor, Grant and Lee and Stonewall Jackson, Mcclellan and Joe Johnson, Bragg, Rosecrans, Longstreet, Uarney, Thomas and Beauregard, For rest and Phil Sheridan, Hardee and Hood, Hancock and Custer, Admiral Porter and Bishop" Gen. Polk. Among GAe great civilians we recall the names of Abraham Lincoln, Clay and Calhoun and Jefferson Davis. There is hardly a place elsewhere in the south so rich in historic associations.
 The university is true to it's traditions. The sons of Louisiana are soldiers by in- heritance, and while they revere the cause for which their fathers fought, ne northern boys are to-day more loyal to the flag which is lowered at sunset every evening to the well-known strains of retreat, while on parade of over 300 ca dets stands on parade at attention. Everything about the university is con- ducted on military lines, and by means of frequent inspections a proper system of discipline is constantly maintained.

CURIOUS HABITS OF WRITING.
The scribbIing Microbe Never Leaves
 One After It Gains Lodging.

The habit of writing is a curious habit and one which may not be out grown, said an old scribbler, in the New Orleans Times-Democrat. 'It seems. to be born in the blood. It is a part of the nature of some men to write things. Early in life they begin to yield to an inclination to jot things down; to scribble off few thoughts at idle mo- ments, and between times, as it were; to yersify bit; to philosophize; to put down maxims and axioms, and to scrawl thousand and one little nothings which appeal to the fancy from time to time. Once acquire the habit and it is thine for aye. No amount of change in life's course; no upheavals of fortune no sudden shifts of fate and destiny: no nothing that may come with the feet ing years will ever once break the mind from the bent which prompts 1t to trace in the queer curling symbols which roll out from the pencils point the little playful nothings about which the soul is wont to dream
 Dainty, delicate children are these little vagrants which one idly scrawls into existence between times Often they are bright, deep, subtle and of the yerities; sometimes they are morose, gloomy, of that sterner stuff which feeds the soul of the hungry pessimists; some times as light and airy as the very foam which bursts laughingly around the ankles of Aphrodite; but whether light, or profound, whether gay or sad, these things of mental loafng, these little pet nothings of mental vagabondage, ore scintillants which cheer and amuse fellow as he hurries on from one mile- post to another. An, for the habit of writing! It pays when the bank fails pays in the sweet consolation one may know from close communion with ones own soul, for man hath not known his soul until it glare at him in such cheap symbols as he may employ in efforts, always short of weight, to speak it's weighty sentiments"

4 Tall One.

An American in Paris was one day looking at the Eiffel tower, when he was accosted by an enthusiastic French man with: "Ah! my friend, that is a beautiful tower, and doubt very much whether you have anything to beat it in America"
 "Wal, stranger" replied the Amer ican, q guess it's good for France, but in America we have a tower so high that we have to lower the top at night"
 Lower the top at night?" replied the Frenchman. For what reason?"
 Wal, guess it is just to let the moon pass, stranger. Good-day. "-London Tit-Bits.

BLOWN OUT OF THEIR BEDS

Force of the Storm.

Force of the Storm.
BY the force Of the storm persons
were blown hundreds of feet from
their beds in the blackness of night.
Through terror a father, mother and
three children fled from their hoHle to
seek refuge, and in their excitement
left a 5-year-old boy in bed. He was
pulled from beneath some timber, and
thus far it is impossible to find any
other member of the family. Bedding,
carpets and wearing apparel are scat
tered for a distance for ten miles
through what was a forest, but which
is now a. clear as if though cut by the
woodman's axe.
Freight cars were tom to splinters,
the trucks from tier. Icing thrown
hundreds of feet fro.. the truck. The
railway station, the Le.rl. warehouses,
gins, thirty homes. tie store houses
occupied by X. l.. Griffin. y. w. Wig
wins & Son, j. W. Bomcnick, A. ID.
Griffin and w. z. Phifer, together with
their stocks, were completely de-
stroyed. Where they stood it is impcs-
sible to find even the pillars upon
which these structures rested.
Fales of cotton which were stored
in warehouses were torn to atoms, the
fragments of lint lodging in trees, max
ing it appear as though that section
had been visited by a snow storm
Heavy iron safes, the doors Of which
in some instances were torn from their
hinges, were carried away by the force
of the wind. A young clerk employed
by w. P. Phifer, hearing the terrible
roaring of the storm. let himself into
a well in the center of the store. He
had no sooner found his place of safe.
ty when the store was completely de.
molished. He was drawn out unin.
jured.
The town Of Hull, -four miles north
Of Moundville, suffered from the tor.
nado. The Bates Lumber company's
planing department was completely
wrecked, and the negro fireman
crushed. Four residence and one church
were demolished.

MANAGER DAVIS ON THE STAND
Some Of the Things He Said to the Coos

Some Of the Things He Said to the Coos
onsr's Jury.
When Davis went on the stand, az
had been the case with Powers, dozens
of questions were asked about the cor
poration that built the theater. Then
the examination proceeded:
when the -theater was opened Nov.
% was it completed!" For the >pur-
poses of giving a presentation, 1
should say yes"
When asked whose duty it was to
see that fire ex.inguishers were in
stalled he replied: I'VE had a fire.
man there who was sent to US by the
city fire depas .nent." This fireman he
said upon one occasion spoke to him
about the necessity Of getting some
hose, but he never knew whether or
not he got it. He considered it the
fireman's duty to make requisition for
all things needed, and when no requisi-
ton was made he took it for granted
hat nothing was required.
Coroner Traeger asked; Previous
to the fire you were satisfied, were
you not, tina there were ample facili-
ties for taking care of the fire?" i
had every confidence in the world il
the theater."
but since the fire you have found
differently, have you MOP" 'Since the
fire most anybody could draw conclu-
Sions."
Il 'sk you whether or not it was
your business to see that those things
were there" l engaged. people to per-
form their duties and supposed they
would do, So"
when you opened the Iroquois thea
ter for the first performance did you
consider the building absolutely Dire
proof?" 81 did. 1t was The safest
building Of the character ever con-
structed."
did you take any precautions to
find out whether the theater was safe
OF not?" Il don't remember that I did.
We had given orders for the best build
ing of that character that could be put
up and having done so and dealing with
reputable firms we concluded we were
getting what we paid for"
Davis declared that a few days be-
fore the theater opened he had talked
with Building Commissioner Williams
after the latter had inspected the thea
ter, and that Williams declared it was
the safest and most complete theater
building he had ever seen.
