When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
nroverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
odd why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

Letter to 3. N. Sims. i

Dear sir-Your business is, when a
house burns down to give the owner
some money to build new one. It's
a good business. Queer at the world
got on SO long without it.
We paint the one that burnt down
aaaA the new one, too. What is better,
we paint the houses that don't burn
down.
You insure the houses that burn;
we insure the houses that don't. You
have the ashes and smoke: all the
houses are ours.
We paint lead and-zinc: Devoe. We
sell the the paint to painters; we
dom paint
Lead and-oil is the oldfashion paint.
Devoe is zinc ground in with lead and
linseed oil: the best paint il the world;
and the cheapest, because it takes
fewer gallons than mixed paints and it
wears twice as long as lead and oil.
Nobody wants poor paint; there's lots
Of it, though, in the world.

Jos. Solas's Residence Burglarized.

About four o'clock yesterday morn
ing burglars entered the residence of
JOS. Solar, in Mississippi street below
the Catholic church, and broke open
an armoir Ia the front room, puPloin-
ing therefrom a tin box containing $3.50
in silver, a dollar bill, and a souvenir
half-dollar of the Chicago exposition
of 1898. Mr.. Solar, who is a dairy
man, had arisen at half-past three and
proceeded TO the rear of his residence
in order to milk his cows. His wife
accompanied him, and when she re-
turned to the front room an hour later
lamps which had been left burning
were extinguished. Mrs. Solar called
her husband and an examination Of
the room showed that the armoir had
been forced open and the box taken
therefrom. MIR. Solar made an inves-
tigation of the vicinity and soon saw
a worthless negro named Henry Fra
man walking behind the levee and
going towards Peytavin plantation.
The dairyman pursued the negro and
called on him to halt, but Framan
quickened his steps and disappeared
in the PeytaVin cane fields. Suspicion
pointed to him as the guilty party and
Mr.. Solar made an affidavit charging
him with the crime. He was arrested
yesterday afternoon and lodged in the
parish jail.

no BE Paved with Good Intentions.

/
After deyoting several columns OF
douoge-leaded editorial TO the deserip-
ton of 1.-THE kind of a mayor that
New Orleans needs,n The Daily Item
| has executed o complete about-faee
| movement and announces that it will
support Martin Behrman. The declar-
alton Of this sudden change OF front
is accompanied by the naive COMES
sion that Mr.. Behrman isn't the can
didate The Item had in its minds eye
when the double-leaded apostrophes
were penned, but that in ability, good
intentions and strength Of purpose, he
is imneasurably superior to any per-
son who stands the slightest chance OF
receiving the nominatin =
The plain English Of ibis confession
is that although Martin Behrman is
not the kind of man New Orleans
needs and ought to have for mayor, he
is the best man the ward bosses will
permit to be nominated, hence The
Item swallows its high-sonnding and
patriotic panegyries OF somebody else
and falls meekly into line behind the
bosses. The Picayune is marking time,
ready to initiate the example OF its
evening contempor airy when the whip
cracks and the coma and to march is
given, and The States has been Whoop-
ing it up for Behrman ever since it be-
came apparent that he was to be the
candidate Of the bosses.
Gov. Blanchard is the only man in
the state Who might successfully check
mate the plans OF the city politicians
ana save the southern metropolis from
a -petition Of her unfortunate and
hlallliating experiences with a ward
boss for mayor, but all present indi-
cations are unfavorable to any such
intervention on the governor part.
It is claimed for Boss Behrman tina
heis jolly good fellow, plum full Of
good intentions. So was Boss. Gull
lotte and 80 was Boss Fitzpatrick, and
the failure of their administr ations
furnishes two forcible examples of
what may be looked for under a sBoss
Behrman regime. He'll, we are told,
is paved with good Intentions, and it
looks as if New Orleans will get
good deal of the same kind of pave
ment during the next four years.

crol, Comment.

This section was visited with all
kinds Of weather during the past week.
Showers tell Sunday, Monday and
Wednesday,, while a perfect deluge
happened along Tuesday afternoon.
The precipitation was preceded by q
brilliant electrical storm, the flashes
of lightning being almost incessant.
The rain commenced about 2 O'Clock
and lasted the entire afternoon, putting
the roads in very bad condition and
bringing work in the fields to q stand
still for the time being. Thursday and
yesterday were clear and warm.
Work in the cotton fields is pro-
Of the crop is being generally prose-
cuted throughout the parish. Reports
are coming in Of serious injury to the
staple by caterpillars, which have
made their appearance in several To-
calities. J. Elphege Leblanc, manager
Of the Lemann Company's Belle Terre
plantation, states that since Tuesday
the cotton on the Lemann Company's
various places has become badly in
tested with caterpillars, and that the
crop will be materially shortened as q
conseq uence. Paris green is being
used to destroy the pest.
The new gin of the Lemann Com.
pany on PeytaV1n plantation began
the seasons work Wednesday with a
large supply Of cotton on hand, but
the staple was found TO be so damp
that it was deemed advisable to wait
q few days before ginning it. Opera
tinns will be resumed next week.
Cane continues to develop at rapid
rate and is in the best possible condi-
ton.
The harvesting of the rice crop
goes steadily on, with the yield re-
ported as being satisfactory. The

which is the Sectional Party E

The New Orleans Picayune is fond
Of iterating and reiter ating the charge
that the sepublican party is a sec
tional party, and our esteemed con-
temporary has wasted many columns
Of editorial space and effort in sup
port Of this mythical hypothesis. Not
withdrawing the many friendly acts of
President Roosevelt towards the peo-
pie OF the southern substantially his
appointment Of prominent and distin-
guished democrats to federal offices of
great honor and emolument in the
southland despite the eVen-handed
justice and open-handed generosity
republican congresses and administra-
lions have exhibited in making provi-
sion for the protection Of southern in
dusgries and the prosecution Of works
OF internal improvement in the south
ern states, the Picayune and other
journals of its partisan ilk persistently
put forward the palpably erroneous
charge that the president and his
party are engaged in making war
upon the south with a view of per-
petuating sectional animosities and
divisions and Of arraying a solid
north against the solid south.
A sufficient refutation of this charge
and Of the arguments on which it is
based Is found in the simple fact that
there Is q solid south, but not solid
north-that there is no conceded posi-
bility that any strictly southern state
will give a single electoral vote to the
republican ticket, whereas the demo-
cratic party counts confidently upon
carrying number Of the northern
states at the approaching election.
In foreeasting the probable result OF
the November contest the Picayune
doesn't take the trouble to enumerate
separately the votes Of the southern
states that will go to Parker and
Davis. It's estim ates inv arlably begin
with, tThe solid south, 15l votes,
aud this significant announcement OF
the sectional character of the demo-
cratic party Is followed by discus
sion Of the more or less roseate
chances ofaRhe democracy for carrying
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut,
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wiseon
sin, Nebraska and other northern
states.

YaRmont and Arkansas Elections.

The state elections held in Vermont
and Arkansas last Tuesday yielded
results that are full Of promise for re-
publicans and wholly empty Of even
the smallest fragments Of hope Or con-
ISOLATION for democrats.
! The republican state ticket in Yer
mont has been elected by 8 larger ma
jority than that polled four years ago
the largest, with one exception, that
she party has ever received in the
state. A complete unofficial tabula-
ton q the returns for governor gives
Bell, republican, 48,o77; Porter, dem
pcrat. 1851; republican majority,
81, $3.50. The majority four years ago
gor the republican candidate was 81
3I2. The state senate elected Tuesday
will be unanimously republican, the
democrats having lost the five seats
they formerly held in that body. The
new house of representatives will be
composed Of POI republicans, 30 dem
ocrats, 3 Independents, 2 members of
fhe citizens party and labor repre-
sentative. There were so democrats
in the former house, hence the democ-
racy has lost 20 seats in the lower
branch Of the legislature.
1t was, of course, conceded that Yer
mont would be carried by the republic
cans, but the democratic managers
built their hopes upon decided re-
duction Of the republican majority,
which might be construed as indicat-
ing rend of popular sentiment in
the country at large towards the de-
moeracy and its candidates. 1t was
proclaimed that if the republican ma
iority fell below p, 900 the result could
be regarded as a virtual defeat for the
republicans, although the latter de-
clared they would be satisfied with
$4,000; and the democrats expressed
confidence in their ability to reduce
lie figures below 10000. The outcome
was therefore nearly as much of
surprise to the Yictors as to the van
qnished, since neither side looked FOR
the overwhelming success achieved by
the republican ticket, and an increase
Of the great majority the state gave
Mckinley in 1900.
The democrats carried Arkansas, as
q matter OF course, but even in that
rock-ribbed citadel of democracy their
vote and majority fell off materially,
while the republican strength increased
by 10000 votes and several counties
heretofore democrat were carried
last Tuesday by the republicans. The
unpopularity % Cow jeff Davis, who
was a candidate for third term, had
much to DO with the slump in his
party's vote, but there is sufficient
margin after conceding the full effect
OF this deterrent cause for republican
satisfaction and rejoicing.
To all candid and unwarped minds
it must be apparent that the Vermont
and Arkansas elections presage the
success of the republican ticket in the
national contest, and The Chief re
CARDS the outlook with pleasure, be-
cause OF the sincere conviction that
such a result will be best for the whole
country, for the south and for Louisi-
