Miss Macdonald in private
life is the wife of Joseph Jeffer-
sons son. Unlike many actors
of prominence, the dean of the
American stage is far from
averse to his children and grand
children marrying in the the
atrical profession. The story is
told that when the marriage of
one of Jefferson's sons to
ballet girl was announced, some
buSyDOdy SAID to the coined
ian: "Mr. Jefferson, it must
have been a great shock to you
when your son married a ballet
girl"
Why shouldn't he marry a
ballet girl if he desired?" asked
the comedian. His mother
was one."
Joseph Jefferson tells this
story of Edwin Forrest, one of
whose early successes was
young Norval, in the tragedy
of Douglas. " The story goes
that William Wood, the stage
manager, who seldom was known
to praise anyone, being caustic
and severe in his criticisms, one
night was relating in the green
room before the whole COM
pany that the finest first
appearance he ever had wit
messed was that of a young
man from Philadelphia in the

Whenever Jefferson visits
New-Orleans, he is the guest of
a secret order whose members
are celebrated for their hos

leading members of the society
were appointed policemen to
conduct the guests to the plat

the chairman Numbered out:

The roof nearly fell in with the
applause as Jefferson was

The Health of School Children q
Question of Prime Imp0r.
tanCe.

In a discussion of the public
school buildings of the town OF
Lafayette by the City Council
in regular session last Monday
night, DR.. A. r. Trahan took Oc-
casion very properly to direct
the attention of the Council to-
the serious hygenic conditions;
presented by the overcrOwded
state of the school buildings.
From statistics the Doctor OBJ
tanned from the schOOlauthOrities,
hedeclared thatnotOne class room
in the town is of sufficient size to-
give the children the amount of
pure air necessary for the good
of their health. The statistics
showed that in the case of the
class-rOOms in the Primary
school and of those in the Kin
dergarten, only one-half of the
air space required for satisfac-
tory hygenic conditions was
furnished, and in addition to this
the low ceilings and small win
dows prevented the necessary
circulation, causing vitiated air
to be breathed and re-breathed
by the helpless little children.
He gave warning that the
present condition of congestion
and lack of ventilation would
certainly invite and propagate
tuberculosis and other forms of
i'll health attributable to a def
cheney of fresh air and other un-
hygenic environments.
DR.. Trahan expressed his
views very forcibly on this most
important side of school life,
which he argued should be ade-
quately provided for without de.
lay in an enlargement of the
school facilities which could be
satisfactorily secured only
through the acquisition of a ca
pacious and we'll appointed new
central school building.

A COmmendable Act

An interesting scene greeted
the eye of the passer-by near the
High School yesterday afternoon
it was the sight of two indus
trious school teachers. Mr..
Avery and Mr.. Foote, with
rolled up sleeves engaged in
building a street crossing for
the benefit of their pupils.
This is a commendable act on
the part of two worthy teachers.

Good for Lake Charles.

At a special election held Oct.
81, a tax of five mills for five
years was voted for school pur-
poses in Lake Charles. Like
all progressive communities the
people of Lake Charles regard
their schools as public asset of
the highest value, and they see
the advantage and feel the ne
cessity Of placing the revenues
of the schools upon a broader
and more permanent basis.
According to the present as
sessed valuation of property in
Lake Charles, we are informed
that this tax will amount to $18,-
600 a year, and measured by this
standard of enlightment and
public spirit. it may be safely
predicted that Lake Charles will
move forward much more rapid
ly in business and industrial
affairs than those communities
which fail to understand the act.

education plays in the material

make proper provision for the

Father Mattern then spoke in
English. He spoke of the great
esteem in which Father Forge
was held as evidenced by this
great gathering to pay him the
last sad rites, and referred to
his work in this parish, and what
he had done for his church.
The remains were then taken
from the catafalque where they
had lain in state since Tuesday,
in the center of the church and
reverently laid away in a grave
dug before the altar besides the
tomb of Father Maigret a former
pastor who died in 1858.

The Good Roads Movement

we PUBLISH VclOW d llSC Uk Tile
subscriptions for the good road
fund up to the time of going to
press. The committee has not
!.yet made a regular canvass of
the town and there is still a large
mum Der of business and profess
sional men to be seen who will
no doubt be glad to Join their
fellow-citi1ens in this most laud-
able undertaking.
Good roads leading into town
from every section of the parish
will attract great deal of trade
to the town of which our mer-
chants are now deprived, and
will contribute in no small degree
to the social and business con-
venience of the farmers and all
other classes of people. The
organized move for good roads
by the Citizens Road Building
Association assures the public
of some practical results in that
direction if the people who are
most directly interested in the
success of this movement-the
merchants. the doctors, the
lawyers, and the farmers-do
their just part by the public
spirited business men who have
banded themselves together to
lead in the movement.
! It is going to take a consider
able sum of money to lay the
foundation for a permanent sys-
tenn of good roads-a much
larger sum than the contract
price which the parish is in a
position to allow. That is the
reason the Road-building AS
sociation is bound to create a
private fund upon which to draw
as the work progresses and until
the roads shall be put in prime
condition to stand a hard strain
throughout the year. A broad
and solid foundation in the be-
ginning will mean less and less
trouble and expense to maintain
the roads afterward, and this
plan will prove to be the most
advantageous and economical in
the end.
In view of the great and last
ing benefits which will be
brought to all classes of people
by the work that is being pre-
sently undertaken by the Citi-
zens' Road-building Association,
it is but right that everybody
should contribute something
toward the support and success
of the mOvement-and no man
who is going to be benefited in
any way by good roads ought to
be willing to accept and enjoy
benefits paid for by other people
without bearing a fair part of
the cost of these benefits himself.
