Death Of Mrs. r. w. W.. Stlnson.,

Mrs. T. w. w. Stinson died at the Shreveport
Sanitarium On Nov. 23rd. Deceased, whose maiden
name was Cornea Annette Woodruff. was born
June 49, 1862, in st. Landry parish, and was married
to Mr.. T. w. W. Stinson on October 10, 1850, near
Benton, where she lived until a few weeks before
her death. She is survived by a, husband. seven
children, sister, Mrs. Ed. Best, and two brothers,
Messrs. F. H. aid T. w. Woodruff
By the death of Mrs. Stinson the community has
lost an estinable woman who made theworld better
for having lived in it. She had made life worth
living, and there was much for her to live for: She
was an ideal wife and model mother No woman
was ever more dearly beloved of her husband and
children, and in the heart of happy family she
lived and loved and shared in abundance all the
blessings Of noble, consecrated Afe. She was
honored and esteemed everywhere she was known,
and thus her life, though full in deedsof usefulness
gave promise Of ripper fruits It ss needless to say
that when the last hour comes to such wife and
mother those who love her will stand with bowed
heads in the presence Of God and plead continuously
that the cup may pass But alas, even the prayers
of hearts bowed in anguish are unavaing when
death has chosen his mark.
She has passed to that borne whence no one ever
returned. Somewhere, in that great beyond her
spirit lives and if to be- right to live right and to
be devoted follower and return to the Lord of the
Vineyard fourfold for the talent given shall entite
US to the higher reward in the hereafter, then her
triumph is complete.
The remains reached the Red River graveyard.

The great Worlds Fair at ST. Louis will close at
II O'Clock Tonight Then the magnificence, the
allurement, the marves and the whole international
city of dreams win pass away, transferring them
selves back among all nations In few hours the
largest and best of universal expostions-the
greatest achievement of the imsginaton-will
become only an edifying memory, a benifcent
influence AS exponent of human progress
and civilization, it is the triumph of centuries
Years of advancement were necessary to create
the conditions which made the project posi-
BILE, and special circumstances were necessary to
bring it into being. Circumstances may not exist
in generations enabling another great international
exposition; and although this Exposition may have
peer at some period in the distant future, there is
little likelihood that it ever will have superior,
particularly in this respect.

BY MARY JERvEY.
In thickest fight triumphantly he fell,
While into victory's arms he led us on;
A death SO glorious our grief should quell:
We mourn him yet his battle-crown is won.
No slanderous tongue can vex his spirit now,
No bitter taunts stain his blood bought fame;
Immortal honor rests upon his brow,
And noble memories cluster round his name.
For hearts shall thrill and eyes grow dim with tears,
To read the story Of his touching fate;
How in his death the gallant soldier wears
The crown that came for early Life too Late
Ye people! guard his me1uory-sacred keep
The garlands green above his hero-grave;
Yet weep, for praise eau never wake his sleep.
To tell him he is shrined among the brave.

In the history of crime in Hawaii there has never
been lynching. But lately several murderers
have remained long in prison untried, and the result
is that in the of late murderer the authorities
had difficulty in preventing his being lynched.-
Nothing tempts to lynchng like the fragrant defeat
and unnecessary delay of justice.

John Drew.

An unusually capable company support
ed John Drew in THE Second in Com
mand" at the jefferson theatre last night
The play in itself was pleasing and Mr..
Drew delighted the large audience present
with his finished acting. He was repeat
eddy encored and there were many who
thought him unusually fortunate in the
selection of play for this season. 1.-The
Second in Command" affords more oppor-
tunity for tears than laughter, but there
were times when gravity was supplanted
careless officer, loyal to his ideals but a
trifie cynical Mr.. Drew was enabled to
give a very smooth performance.
Mr.. Drew's company was especially
clever. 1t is a pleasant surprise to see a
star surrounded by players of almost
equal merit, as was the case last night.
Margaret Dale is by far the best leading
woman who has appeared here this sea-
son as co-star. She not only has a
very striking stage appearance but filled
her place in a capital manner. Charles r..
Ghottold and Monroe Salisbury also took
prominent parts and acquitted themselves
we'll. Robert Schable furnished much
amusement by his clever portrayal Of a
young Englshman who does not know
what to do with himself in the world but
is willing to try anything. His intoxica-
ton in the second act was the most
laughable as we'll as the best bit of acting
that such a scene could afford. He was
assisted In keeping the audience in good
humor by Miss Constance Bell, who was
very pretty, and gave refreshing picture
of demure English miss decidedly in
love.
.erhe Second in Command is ar unus-
ually strong play, in fact one of the
strongest that has beer seen here this
season. Both Mr.. Drew and his company
had abundant opportunity to show their
abilities. The large number Of society
people present appeared greatly pleased
by the performance and the play made an
impression on all who attended.
