Our little community is taking OF
the Carnival spirit. At the two last
public parties, lone given by Firemer
No 2, and the other by the Unsectar
ian Aid Society there was such a So
cial commingling of ladies and gentle
men that the impression that each sex
had determined to 'go it alone" in
society for the future was partially
relieved. There has been such seri-
Gus disintrigation Mems clubs and wo-
mems clubs, ETC., that at last it has

limitation of their seniors. The

not good for women. But no doubt
men bark back to the garden of Eden
and throw the burden of their short
cOmings upon the women. Adam said
the woman tempted me to eat, no doubt
she has been tempting him to eat and
(pity T'is) to drink too, ever since,
but have men eaten or drunk less, or
deteriorated less in manners and moral

way and the woman the other? In

of Kentucky among the primitive

st. Louis, Oct 15.-The Bureau of
Awards to- day granted silver medals
and awards of merit to both plain and
carbonated Abita Spring Water, exhib-
tied by the Abita Spring Water Co,
of New Orleans This award carries
with it mention of the exceptional
purity and the special mineral proper
tiles of the water. Hundreds of wat

THE FIRE.
ONE OF THE OLD LANDMARKS
BADLY DAMAGED
OLD ALMA HOUSE DIsFIGURED.

About 1890 Wednesday morning
the alarm of fire was sounded calling
our firemen to the above location
The fire started in the Photograph
gallery of Messrs. Snedes & Dennis
and before water was available the
frame building and the one adjoin-
ing on the east was in flames. Our
fremen promptly responded and the
work of extinguishing was at once
undertook with such good results that
the flames were soon got under con-
troll, although strong west wind was
blowing at one time the store and res
danger, but by heroic effort on the
part of the firemen, but slight damage
was done. After the fire was under
control it was noticed that the east
end of the Alma House was smoking,
as though a fire was smothering in the
attic, at once Mr. Braccin and Prof.
Jenkins of the High School called for
ladders to scale the roof, it was some
time before ladder of sufficient
length could be obtained, but one was
at last found which could reach from
the little balcony to the roof from the
ell, from thence these gentlemen car
ried an ak and hose and cut into the
roof of the attic when the flames burst
ont like an explosion, for long time
this new FIRE seemed hard to reduce
and was not overcome till the entire
roof and third story of the Alma"
was a wreck, together with all the
carpets, bedding, etc., in
that part Of the building. During
the entire time our firemen put forth |
their best efforts. Hoably seconded by
from the crowd, notably Mr..
Prof jenkins, Mr.. John II.
Taylor and brother Robert, also Mr..
Allen Marsh, all gave most valuable
assistance and the community is loud
N their praise. What might have
,een . serious confiagration was thus
Iverted. The loss is variously esti-
mated at from three to five thousand
dollars with Is. 500 insurance on the
Alma and $500 ON the photo gal
cry. That the fire was so soon re-
luced and confined to that locality,
,roves the efficiency of our fire depart
aent and the sufficiency Of our water
apply which was always ample with
dequste pressure.

HONORS FOR A NEW ORLEANS
CONCERN.
The Abita Spring Water Company Re
ceives Special Mention and Silver
Medals ut the Worlds Fair.

New Orleans eau be justly proud
of its pure water supply i'll the honors
that have been conferred upon Abita
water at the st. Louis Exposition.
The telegraph wires yesterday told of
the receipt of high honors by the
Abita Water Co., at the exposition
Abita was placed under severe tests,
there being hundreds of mineral wat
ers from all over the world contesting
for the honor. Abita won through
its doubtful merit
New Orleans can be justly proud OF
such water supply as the Abita
Springs furnish. Water is one of the
most important living necessities and
its is undoubtedly due to the extensive
use of Abita that New Orleans
maintains its reputation for healthful
ness in national vital statistics
The above clipping from the New
Orleans Picayune of October 10, 1904,
tells of the Medals that Abita Spring
Water received at the st. Lonis
Worlds Fair. Abita Water holds
special awards bestowed upon it by to

than one professional man, is that men
have not yet learned to take wornen's
work seriously. There is always little
element of doubt to whether it is the
real thing or brilliant accident. Irdi-
vidual successes have been recognized
time out of mind. The ability If other
women 20 duplicate trese successes Is
still in doubt, in the minds OF the mass
ot men.
This contradictory state Of affairs IS
seen in the scientific world. Only few
wooks ago the Royal Society CT England
at i.s anniversary meeting bestowed Up
on Pierre Cure and Aia1ame SkloGowski
Curie his wife. equal honors fer thei-
labors in rad.url research. Tha. "a, II.

tine in the history of It's whole existence
that such reward has been Bestowed.
It was not the first reward received by
Madame Curie. in 1898 the Paris Academy
OF Sciences aWarGe1 her II Gegner prize,
Of 3,959 francs, which IS intended TO re-
ward researches CT a fruitful nature,
and likely TO promote the progress OF
science, however abstruse the line of re-
search may be. This annual prize Of the
Academy has been Madame CURES in
1885, as stated. and in 1890 and 1892. She
also holds The newly inst tutei Berthelot
gold medal of the academy, established
in horror of the erninene chemist.
An English paper, describing these hon
ors bestowed by Madame Curie's adopted
country, congratulate the English Royal
Society that English science knows how
to honor laborious and difficult negotia-
tions at the proper stage of inquiry"

AUTOMOBILE FACTS.

According to automobile statistics pre-
pared by Victor r. Lougherd for Leslie
Monthly. present practice is rather in
favor of the gasoline machine. In two
important endurance tests recently con-
Quoted, in which l3S machines competed,
nine were steam and all the rest gasoline.
Ninety-four gasoline cars and six steam
vehicles finished the course.
At present a new automobile costs from
s3T5 TO 3i7,eoe the difference being more
in size, finish and speed than in useful
ness Weighs range from 400 to $500
pounds for pleasure and light commercial
vehicles Their carrying capacity runs
from IS to 50 per cent of the weight.
The life OF a good automobile ought
to be at least as long as the working
life of several horses. IN thu outlay for
repairs, tires cost from $40 to $240 a set,
and are calculated to run from 2.0co to
Is. 900 miles, according to the weight az
