To Canonize Heroine.
JEANNE D'ARC's NAME WILL Go
ON ROLL OF BLESSED.
Special Cable to The Times-Democra

Rome, Jan. 3.-The solemn &C.
remony of the qualification of
Jeanne Dare, the Maid of Or
leans, will take place next We'd
nesbay, the feast of the ephiphany
and the anniversary of the hero
ines birth. The Pope will sit en-
throned in state in the Sistine
chapel, where all the cardinals in
Rome will be assembled, together
with all the officials of the Con-
gregation of Rites, which has
charge of the canonization of saints
On being petitioned by the Sc
cretary of the congregation, Piux
X will declare that the heroic vir-
tue of the heroine have been pro-
we'd to bis satisfaction, and, there
fore, her name is entered among
the numbered the blessed recog-
nized as such by the Roman Cat
holic Church.
Pidx X has already declared Sc
veral times how it will give him
great pleasure to perform the &C.
remony of Qualification because of
his lifelong admiration of the
French heroine. He has sent a
personal letter to President Lou
bet, notifying him of the event,
and official notifications was also
sent to all the French bishops,
many OF whom have come to Rome.
A numerous pilgrimage of
French Catholics has also arrived,
but only the most prominent Of
them will be able to witness the
ceremony in the Sistine chapel.
The others will assemble in ST.
Peters, to which church the Pope
will descend after the ceremony
and address all the pilgrims on
the momentous event, which, it is
felt, ought to have some salutary
effect on the attitude of the French
government toward the church.
The Qualification of the Maid of
Orleans is only the second step
towerd her canonization. Before
the final decree is issued it will be
necessary for the Congregation of
Rites to examine some of the mi
racles said to have been performed
at the intercession of the new
saint, and three different sets of
questions viii! have to be examin-
ed by the cardinals. All this will
take time, and, even if the cause
of canonization were begun imme-
diately, it would take at least two
years before the heroine of the
French nation could be inscribed
in the catalogue of saints.

"A DISMAL FAILURE.

THE grand Democratic rally, the
,,sreat outpohring of the voters, the
immense turning out of the people
Sc St. Martin parish, which was so
ooastfully predicted for the grand
blanchard barbecue held here
"Wednesday proved dismal fail
> ureto the Blanchardites, they were
l sadly disappointed. when they
Hooked upon our streets and saw no
, great number of people they COM
) menced to wonder what was the
matter; when the Brass Bands
. failed to show up to gather the
large crowd that WAS expected,
they thought it looked bad, and
when they looked atthe large guam
tity of barbecued meat and the
sthree hundred loaves with not
: enough people to eat one fourth Of
it, they thought twas waste of
money added to their great disap-
epointment and it really made the
bosses look little blue.
The meeting was called to order
eby Mr.. Dan. w. VOORHEES, who
made a short address, his address
was about as long as the crowd
WAS large.
Judge +. z. Power was made
schairman Of the meeting and Mr..
Maurice Path secretary. Senator
II. y. Liable rose to Introduce
.HuGge Blanchard and he made
sso,ne few remarks, and EN- PEASANT,
sgave a touch to our.little ex-repub-
slican, our anti-boss campaigner
Senator Liable introduced Judge
blanchard to the little crowd, we
SAY little crowd because we hold
ut from two persons who counted
the noses, one found 90 and the
other found SO. this count was
CLOSE enough to be accepted as
correct now they added about ten
or twelve ladies and few children
another estimate which we consid-
ser, liberal put down, the whole
crowd including ladies and chill
'dren to be about $50. The Blan-
'chard people claim the crowd was
about 225 to $50.
Judge Blanchard who is a fine
and brilliant orator, made a mas
'terly speech about himself and his
political records and made a very
good impression upon those who
were already his supporters and
believed all he said. All agree
however that he made a fine speech
but it would require several more
'speeches like this one to give him
'St. Martha parish.
.Messrs Shetland Stiedly also made
short addresses, but Steidly Great
ed the best impression and we be-
lieve he will get the vote of ST..
Martin.
Mr.. Adolpbe Thibodeaux of
Breaux Bridge made a very good
speech in French.

UNSATISFACTORY COURT.

Dissatisfaction with the personnel
of tho Supreme Court grows a. the
public begins to resliz, what it 10
up against. Much unfavorable eom-
msnt is heard on the action OF Gov
ernor Carter in disreRsrding public
sentiment and recommending men
who were notoriously unpopular
aud undesirable. What the public
had hoped for was 9 new court OF
unbiased men, men who had not in
the past shown themselves TO be
nsrrowed to any clique; men who
were not so bound up to one or any
interest a. to make them representa-
tive OF single business or political
GLASS. It was desired that the new
Supreme Court be composed OF men
independent OF local interests and
prejudices; men who could hold
the scale Of Justice upon steady
hand. Such men we're to be found
here. 1t was within the power OF
Governor Carter to have selected
such men. The Governors course
thus far has been good; but in
this instance he has plainly yielded
to the influences that made the ad.
miniStration OF Governor Dole
arbitrary, unjust and ridiculous.

The IliiaOls Delegation

The addition OF the Illinois yes
tsrdsy to the Hearst forces adds
materially to the strength OF the
newspaperman 10 the ST Louis con-
vention. In fact it places Mr. Hearst
in such a position that he will be
able either to capture the nomina-
tion or to direct il. This is,of course,
figuring in a reasonable number OF
the uninstruoted delegates. 1t is
now fairly clear that there cannot
be a nomination on the first ballot,
as the successful candidate in the
Democratic convention must have q
two-thirds vote; aud it seems now
likely that there will be a deadlock
for several days. However, as we
have said before, much depends up
on the attitude Of Mr. Bryan, He
is the "unkuowu quantity" on the
horizon. The suspicion is that he
intends to support Mr Hearst in the
convention. Should he do so, there
will be Hearst stampede that no
power in the convention will be able
to stay.

As American consul here William
Haywood had the bulge on an i'm
portant graft aud he worked it for
all it was worth. He secured lob

large salary on the pretence OF a pull
with the administration and the in
huence OF father-in.law who lived
there. The whole thing has turned
out to be a fake show. Haywood
hes no pull with the administration; /;
his father-in-lsw never had any
more influence than the ordinary
citizen met on the Washington
street cars; Mr. Haywood has pre-.
tended to keep busy during the few
months that Congress remained in
session and has sat back in luxury
at the expense OF the business men
OF Honolulu the rest OF the time.

QUAY AND THE INDIAN GIRL
: snator Saved Her Brother Because of Singular E1tenuating
 Circumstances.

The Indians all knew Senator Qray as their friend. A few months ago q pretty Indian girl, frcm somewhere away out west, ioGrneyed to Washington to se- cure the kindly offices of Senator Quay in procuring a pardon for her brother, says the New York Tribune. He had committed mur- der. Senator Quay listened 10 her story and then said:
 ore there any extenuating circumstances connected with the shooting?"
 "Yes, my brother killed at 800 yards" said the maiden.
 This brought a ray of hope to the senator. He thought that any man who could kill at 300 yards would appeal to the president. Attorney General Knox was wis tied. Mr. Quay said: q have never asked you for anything since you have been in office. l now want something. l desire a pardon for this Indian"
 The case was carried to the president and he was told of the extenua ting circumstances. There

THE COFFIN HANDKERCHIEF.
Family Relic That Has Been Travel ing About the World for
 Fifteen Years.

The ''Coffin handkerchief" which for 15 years has been con tinuous traveller around the world, is again in Newcastle, Ind, having been received by Harry Y. Coffin, a business man.
 Fifteen years ago it came into the possession of the family and was started from one member of the family to another, each i'll turn working it off on some other member without his knowledge, says the Chicago Tribune In this manner il has been kept on the 20 for 15 years and has been To Ma nila, Porto Rico, England and all points in the United States.
 During the Coffin family re- union in Newcastle last summer it was slipped intG the trunk of a New York member of the family, who several weeks later discoy- cred it and sent it on, with the re suit that il went around the world, reaching Omaha, where a member of the family lives. The family considers it a relic and will keep il trayeling as long as there is a member of the family living to send it to. It bears proper in scription, and each recipient adds q little to il each time.

PoLlTENEss OF JAPANESE.
Ordinary Terms of Respect and Court esy Are Regarded as Ill-Man-
 hammered and Improper.

The Japanese language is oyer- flowing with complimentary or humble expressions. So thorough ly imbued is it with this tendency to present every fact in an elabo- rate dress that the simple truth is regarded as discourteous, even improper.
 Corresponding to our verb "to give" is an entire series of Japan csc verbs, the same in meaning, but varying in courtesy.
 Here is an imaginary conyersa- tion, wherein everyone who wish es a reputation for even passable courtesy must refrain from saying anything except in tue most roundabout manner.
 You are, we will suppose, at a tea-house, and you wish for sugar. The following conversation is pretty sure to take place. l trans late it literally, simply saying that every tea=house girl, usually in the first blush of youth, is addressed as "elder sister"
 You clap your hands. (Enter ea-house maiden.)

 She-The honorable sugar, au- gustly is it?
 You-So augustly.
 She-He dndescribable expres- sion of assent.
 She goes out to procure the Honorable sugar"
 Whether this is a more satis- factory mode of address than the laconie demand: Waiter, sugarw is an open question. Ii is at least evident that it is one which takes more time.

IN THE STREETS OF PEklNG
Thronged with People En- gagged in Trading and Other
 Avocations.

"Peking, the metropolis Of China, is erected on a very fine, fertile plain, not far from the great wall. in the most salubrious part of all China, abounding with corn. fruits, herbs and roots and all the necessaries and comforts of life, except that of tea, none of which grows in that province says writer in the New Orleans Times Democrat. The streets are always crowded. though Chinese women never appear in them, ex- cept in covered seats and chairs. The reason of this crowding is that all provisions are brought thither by land carriage, no river or canal coming within three miles of the city, which occasions the streets to be filled with carts, camels, horses and other beasts of burden, with their drivers, in- somuch that it is difficult to pass through the gates in a morning or evening.
 s.The artiicers also contribute to increase the crowd, as they work in the houses of those who employ them and are perpetually looking out for business. Barbers go about ringing bells to get GUS toners. They carry with them d stool. basin, towel, pot and fire, and when any person calls to them they run up to him. and, placing their stool i'll convenient place in the street, they shave the head clean the ears, put the eyebrows i'll order and brush the shoulders, all for the value Of 2 little more than a half penny They then ring their bell again, and are ready for an other customer. The tailors who ply in the streets 90 home to the houses of their customers and do their work there They do mousse tdimbles as ours do, but tie rag upon their fingers; nor do they sit down to their work, but sew standing, except when they grow tired. The work is upon the table, and they stand close to it. The motley crowd busied in their sev- eral occupations causes a vast con- fusion, while jugglers, ballad sing CTS and nostrHm mongers are en- circled by their respective mobs.' y
