DeathlesS Vanity.

Philadelphia Record.
The average woman is apt to carry her
vanity to the grave" said an undertaken
yesterday. II have frequently noticed this
in suicide cases. of which have had more
than my share. When a man grows tired
of life and makes up his mind to end his
troubles he does it without thinking of
what sort of a corpse he will make. His
only idea is TO make sure of the job. But
do you suppose a woman feels that way
about it? Not your life. She never
loses the feminine instinct to prink up and
make good appearance. Nine times out of
ten she will put on the best clothes she
has, even though she may be going to
throw herself into the river, where her
body may remain for months. How often

of suicides beginning The body of a WELL
dressed woman, etc. You seldom hear of
a woman disfguring her features, either.
If she is going TO shoot herself she in
variably aims at her heart, never at her
head"

MeIodrama at the Park.


MeIodrama at the Park.
1.-THE Denver Express" a melodrama
streaked with red, which the Holden stock
company is presenting at the Park. is not
the kind of play which draws heavily upon
the talent Of that organization. Instead of
calling for serious acting. the play with its
plot shot full of bullet holes. rather draws
upon lung capacity. for cowboys, miners and
Indians shoot up things generally and
their doings are of the rip-roaring kind.
When the play gets out OF its hurrah it set
ties into what the audience last night found
10 be an attractive story. Its scenes opened
In mining region in Colorado where pos
session OF a mining claim was the bone OF
contention, a heartless Englishman under
taking TO wrest IL from a mother and her
daughter. 1t developed some dark villiany,
In which George ID. Mackey played the
heavy role and Jack White showed what
he could do in the character OF an old
sheriff. A soft comedy part was that OF an
Englishman, well played by Jack Ward
Kett. and the role of a noisy pumpkin was
in the hands OF Fritz r. Boone. who Is 10
be depended upon for earnest effort. Maude
Holden also participated In the comedy as
the wife Of the old sheriff Lottie Emmons
strengthening the piece as she played the
part of an adventures, and Nellie Holland
gave weight TO the part OF Mrs. Robert
Payne, an unfortunate woman.
OF course, the melodrama banks its In
ferest against a love story, and John A
Preston. as "Deadwood Dick" with a cow
boy swing and revolver In his belt, and
Bernice Howard. a young woman who
knows the gentle and rough side of frontier
life, brought out the romance to It's full
worth. Little Alice Berry played the juve-
nile role with her usual intelligence, and
her singing specialties won approval.
In scenic way one of the chief features
was the flight of express train, which,
brief as 1t is, gave an excuse for SO naming
the play. Another scene showed an attack
on an ernigrant train by Indians, in which
there was much powder burnt, followed by
wanton destruction of human life. This is
a play which will satisfy appetite which
clamors for melodrama, and the company
will present it through to-day and to-mor-
row.

THE POLICE JURY.


Some time ago the Secretary of
the Police Jury published a notice
in the local papers calling upon
the persons having claims against
the parish to notify the Secretary
of their claims.
This notice caused a great deal
of talk and caused the police jury
to be severely criticized. because
it was apparently an admission
that they did not know the condi-
ton of the affairs of the Parish,
under their own management. But,
all this talk disappeared after q
few days and nothing more was
said about the condition of the af-
fairs cf the parish.
1t is now Mr.. P. R. Roy. one of
the members of the police jury
who comes out in public print. re-
signing from the police jury and
giving some startling news to the
public, which created almost a
sensation, and which is looked up
on by some as severe reflection
upon the intelligence of some of
the members.
Mr.. Roy, in his notice of resign
alton said: III hereby resign to my
position, as member of the Police
Jury, in favor of any competent
man. My reasons for resignaing,
l think are perfectly good"
Mr.. Roy's reasons may be per-
fectly good. intact we believe they
are good, because It is best for a
man to give mp q bad job than
try to do things that he does
not know anything about, and can
not get the necessary information
to permit him to discharge his du-
ties intelligently and efficiently.
Mr.. Roy went on and said: eve
members OF the Police Jury are
/ unable to find out how much the
Parish owes. Why? l do not
know, nor am I able 70 explain
consequently, or l know not the
basis on which I am to work, l
will not work at all, my appropria-
tion for the roads of the first ward,
less Mr.. 'Resweber's share is
$142,50. am unable to fix the
roads with this amount to the sa-
tisfaction of the public, who ex-
pert a world of work to be done.
Now, Mr.. Roy says ,ue the men,
bers of the Police Jury are unable
to find out how much the Parish
loves; We cannot. with all our
good will, reconcile the meaning
of this statement, because we know
the Parish employed and still en-
ploys an accountant, did not the
1 accountant keep the accounts Of
the Parish, and did he not keep a
record of the minutes and all tram
sactions of the Police Jury. And
ARE we to understand Mr.. Roy to
mean that all the members of the
Police Jury are in total Ignorance
of the condition of the affairs oi
the Parish, If such be the case il
is reflection on the intelligence
and competency OF the three old
members of the police jury, the
present President, Mr.. A; p. BE.
