He thought he would just affirm.
'Erastus. said. how is this? Al
month ago, when you appeared before me,

Those Gifts to Miss Alice

1t is roughly estimated that the
presents which Miss Roosevelt has
received from the Empress of Chi
ma, the Emperor of Japan, the En-
peror of Korea, the Sultan of Jolo
and others in the far East will
reach a cash value not far short of
100000. Miss Roosevelt was pla-
ced in a position where she could
not decline any of the presents
without giving offense. The gifts
came to her as the representative
of the government, although she
did not travel with such creden-
tials.
AS the daughter of the President,
she was regarded by the orientals
as they regard the reigning fami-
lies of European kingdoms. The
gifts were tokens of friendship and
good will for the United States and
Miss Roosevelt could not have de-
clined any, not even the pearl from
the Sultan of Jolo, without placing
this government in the attitude of
rejecting friendly overtures.
The Sewing Machine Company
has just completed a sewing ma
chine for the Empress of Japan on
the order of President Roosevelt.
1t is present to the Empress by
the President in recognition of the
courtesy extended to his daughter,
Miss Alice Roosevelt, during her
recent visit to Japan.
The selecting of a sewing ma
chine as a gift came about from a
conversation Miss Roosevelt had
with the Empress. The latter ex-
pressed a desire to have an Ameri-
can sewing machine, and Miss
Roosevelt communicated the wish
to her father, who Immediately
gave the order. The machine is
of the V. S. pattern and is proba-
bly, the most costly that has ever

Death is always sad, and the ap-
pearance of this great reaper and

ways dreaded, because it always

lise Marguerite VOORHEES,, aged "a
years. died at four O'Clock Tues
day morning the Goth inst.

of suffering for several months,
and she bore her painful suffer-
!ngs as only a true christian can,
she fully realized that the time
had come for her to meet her Ma
ker, sue knew that death was near,
but she had faith in her religion,
and she was ready to render an
account of a life we'll spent, she
was u devout Catholic, slowing
mother, a dutiful wife, a kind Sis
ter, and a good, faithful friend.
Mrs. Ducrest leaves a husband
and several grown children, Mrs.
DIR. George de Laureal, Mrs. Dan
w. VOORHEES,, Mrs. Charles Gau-
thier, Misses Marie Louise and

The local cotton market took
jump last Saturday morning when
the st. Martins Oil Works advan-
ced the price from $28 to $50.
This raise in the price was an in
ducement to the planters, and all
those who got the news of $50 per
thousand pounds rushed their cot
ton to the mill. It seems that
that was the value the planters had
put on their product and that was
the price they expected to have,
and when that amount was Offer
ed them, they simply unlosded as
fast as they could, and they kept
the weighers of the Company SO
late that they had to light the
lamp to see the figures on the

Works bought large quantity of
cotton last Saturday, although the
high price paid for that product
was made known only in the NOR

The Parish board of health Of La
fayette parish raised the quaran-
tine against the Town of Lafsy-
cite, but the Police Jury refused
to raised the quarantine, and
maintained the guards to keep the
people of the town from going in
to the parish. The citizens of the
town sent petitions, a large dele
cation to plead and appeal to the
Police Jury, they sent lawyers to
intimidate them with threats of
damage suits ETC., but the Police
Jury was firm and decided to con-
tinue the quarantine until the dan
ger of yellow fever was past to
their own satisfaction. We now
learn that suits were fled against
the action of the Police jury.

Our Fire Insurance Rates.
N. /. Enterprise.

The clipping below taken from
the "lberville South" is in line
with our editorial Of last week and
confirms our opinion that our City
is not alone in the grasp of mono
poly. The South" is one of our
most enterprising weeklies and
treats the subject without gloves.
We trust that every paper in the
State will take up this subject and
hammer away until we build up a
sentiment that will compel recog-
milton. 1t would be a good plan
to hold an insurance convention at
some convenient point. conven-
ton of those who "pay the freight"
and not of insurance men. A
meeting of this class of citizeus
must result In much good and will
help arrest the wells under which
we labor. 1t has been stated that
the author of the much Wanted
Haggerty Bill is also the author
of the new schedules, or Bureau
of rates, which bear SO heavily on
the insurer, in some CASE $50 and
200 per cent advance. 1t this be
SO, it should be at once exposed
and all parties thereto denounced
as public enemies and arrant hypo-
critics:
ut is q matter of common
knowledge that the rates of insu-
rance in many towns in Louisiana
are not only high, but are exceed
ingly extortionate. The insurance
companies doing business in this
State should in some way be regu-
lated and not be permitted to rob
the people by advancing the rates
to point beyond all sense of rea-
sonableness and fair-dealing.
The matter is Of more impor-
lance than we may think aud is
one that should command the at
tention of the State Government.
The rates of insurance are SO high
and SO very unreasonable in many
of our towns, notably Plsquemine,
that the insurance companies do
ing business here in the minds of
the people, occupy prominent
place in the front row of plain,
everyday highway robbers.
The attention of the proper Off
ciais should be directed to this
matter and as soon as the yellow
fever becomes a thing of the past
these authorities, representing the
people, should look deeply into
the matter"
