MAKE MUSIC FOR PROFIT AND
 PLEASURE.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

It is a task to think of anything
 that travelling man does not think of
 ahead of most people, but when one of
 the gang known as rounders' over
 looks any new scheme it is because he
 is sick in bed. Last night one of
 this ilk was on the street trying to
 sell stock in a cricket farm. His
 outline of the scheme to breed crick- cts, with the first lot coming to the
 farm free of cost, was a masterly ef- fort to induce business, and the
 "spiel" he made was worth listening
 to.
 He told of having found a place
 in Prescott where one entire side wall of building was the breeding place for these little all-night musicians He at once took possession of his new find, and his scheme is to protect the erickets and by judicious advertising develop a fad for the old-fashioned "ericket-on- the hearth' business His idea is also to furnish cricket music to all the old bachelors, who sit at their rooms in the early night bemoaning their single state, and to advertise this same chirp outfit for swell receptions, lawn par ties and the like.
 To reporter he told of this novel idea, and asked W hat might be the best way to push the scheme. He took the reporter to the cricket farm, under a pledge of secrecy, and showed the visitor several thousand of the ehirping insects, all lodging within a plastered wall, coming and going from various holes in the clustering. He intends to make cages for the merry little chirpers, catch them as they come from their walled city, deliver them for a given number of hours to furnish the latest cricket songs to those who like this kind of vocal mu- sic, and when the concert shall have been finished to return them to their home.
 He already has one delivery cage ready for use. It is made with a small grass plot in the bottom, as his little musicians are known to grow noisy when located among these grow ing blades of grass. He expects to issue prospectus of his new scheme, and to send letters to all of the local residents who belong to the set that may want some new and attractive fea- ] ture for social functions.
 By special request the name of this original minded visitor is not printed, and inquiry develops that he is desir- ous of remaining in the background be- cause of various warrants that might | be served from other counties in the . territory in which he formerly made his home.

Cavalry Company Find Mounts Without
 Trouble
Rifle Shoot Will Prove An Interesting
 Feature
(From Saturdays Daily )

[
 At Camp Brodie yesterday the first day of the summer eneampment of the National Guard was spent in com pleting preparations for the stay of the visiting soldiers during the ensu- ing week.
 While discipline was the order of the day, it was of a nature to permit of irregular work being done in the way of arranging camp, and all were kept more or less busy about their quarters. A few visiting guardsmen who came to Prescott spoke in high terms of their accommodations on the target range, and were decided in their good opinion as to having an enjoyable outing.
 The Morenei cavalry troop put in the day looking after mounts, and it was not until late in the afternoon that they succeeded in securing all the horses they will want for use during the encampment. 4 stray saddle ami nal was picked up here and there, but the first bunch they could get as lot came from Jos. Dougherty, who rented the eavalrymen seven animals. Later F.. M. Albertson was found in town, and was prevailed upon to furnish eight head of Bar Circle A stock, all that he could spare from his ranch that would answer the purpose.
 Late reports from camp last even ing were in effect that everything about the place was in fine order, and that the guard would today be in a position to receive visitors. The va riOus minor details of preparing a seven days camp in comfortable and attractive manner occupied much of the time yesterday. The quarters of off cers and privates alike are neat, clean ly and attractive, and the grounds are in excellent shape for drill work.
 Among the most interesting features of the annual gathering of guardsmen and their duties during the week in camp, will be the rifle practice on the range, in which all are to participate. It is announced that among the men now in camp there are several crack rife shots, and that a friendly rivalry exists in this class that will lead to some excellent target work. It IS said that no less than twenty-five men in the various companies are the hold CTS of fine amateur records with the rifle, and that these top-notehers will make hote race for place in the final shoot
 To increase interest in this portion of the week g program, a gold and silver medal have been provided as prizes for the first and second best shots in the regiment. The contest will be deeid- ed by selecting the six men with the highest general scores, and these in turn will compete for the medals. Of feers and privates are on the same footing in these contests, and there is already much interest shown in the probable outcome.

Sham Battle and Prize Drill.

Major A. D. Stewart, COM
manding the Third Battalion
State National Guard, has just
concluded arrangements for II
grand sham battle and competl-
tive drill to be held at Haas
park on the 26th inst. The ma
jor has spent several months III
trying to bring about this grand
military fete here and would have
succeeded quite a while ago had
it not been for the quarantlnes
due to the yellow fever epidemic.
Among the companies to particl-
pate in the battle and drill are
Company X, Lake Charles; Com
pany T, Crowley; Company E,
Rayne; Company H, Alexandria;
Company I, Amito City; and
Company NJ, Baton Rouge. The
Lake Charles military band, num-
bering thirty-fve strong, will also
be present and will furnish music
for the occasion. 1t has also
been arranged to hold races at
the park on that day and some of
the fastest horses i'll the South
have already been entered. Ex-
cursions will be run from New
Orleans, Lake Charles and Alex
andria, and it is expected that
there will be a large crowd here
to witness the festivities. Gov
ernor Blanchard and Adjutant
General Stafford, as we'll as sew
eral other prominent officers of
| the National Guard, have been
invited to be present and have
signifed their willingness to at
tend.
The military ardor Of our towr
has been somewhat on the wane
since our crack company b dis
banded, but the soldier boys will
find hearty welcome here never
theless, and while we will moi
have any of our own men in line
on that day, the interest and en-
thusiasm of our citizens in tn
exercises will not be lacking.

FOrceful Words.

Ina speech delivered a few
days since in Springfield, o.,
Governor Folk said:
"The time has come when the
people will no longer respond to
the noise of mere party names.
Parties must stand for something
and mean something. The ques-
ton is now, not what the Demo-
cratic party did fifty years ago, or
what The republican party did
forty years ago, but what they
propose to do now. The way to
determine this is not merely by
reading the platforms, but by
finding out what the candidates
stand for, whether they are hon
est and courageous and whether
they are supported or fought by
the lawless element. -
Governor Folk is right. The
spirit of opposition to the party
machine Is growing. There was
time when Democrats could gel
the party's support for "a yellow
dorg" duly nominated, but in the
future the best men, men will
| clean hands, will be elected tt
| office. The people have become
weary Of supporting the part,
nominees, so-called, many o
whom, if they were given thei
full measure of Justice, would b

walls Of the penitentiary .-Cauca

Non Enforcement of the Crimi-
nal Laws.

The following from the Alex
andria Town Talk depicts sltua-
ton which is unfortunately not
confined to Rapides alone:
When Judge Blackman was
charging the Grand Jury Monday,
On their duties, he especially
charged. about the law making it
a misdemeanor to kill song birds,
punishable by fine or imprison-
ment. He remarked at the time
that it seemed out of place for
him to charge the Grand Jury
about Furnishing people for killing
birds, when it seemed almost inn
possible to punish a white man
in this parish for killing human
being.
There is a world of truth in the
remarks of the Judge. 1t did
seem like foolishness for the
Judge to call on the Grand Jury
to strictly enforce the law against
the killing of song birds, when
murderer after murderer has gone
unwhipped of justice in this par
ish.
We will never have the right
kind of a country until every
man who kills his fellowman Is
punished, unless the homicide is
clearly self-defense. When the
time comes that no guilty man is
permitted to escape, and the laws
are enforced on all alike, just as
in Great Britain, then killing,
and wounding, and the distress
naturally brought to others, will
lessen to the minimum, and we
will have a happy people.
The non enforcement of crlml-
nal laws in this State is the fault
of the petit jury. The law should
be changed making it possible
for nine jurors to come to ver-
dict instead of twelve, because
so often the accused can get one
man on his jury who will not con
lvict no matter what the evidence

= The Elections.

Important elections were held
last Tuesday in a number of States
and large cities, and the results
are on the whole very gratifying,
although the vote on the suffrage
amendment in Maryland, where
the Democrats elected their can
didates, is very disappointing:
But the question involved in
most of these elections was less
political than moral-it was main
fy a question of decent politics,
honesty in Office and good govern
ment-and public opinion having
been at last aroused, the corrupt
boss, the sly CRATER and the pro-
fessional spokesman. whether DEM
ocrat or republican, was showed
under.
May the day soon come when
public opinion will be likewise
aroused in Louisiana and particu-
larly in St. Landry.
The following is synopsis OF
the result:
Jerome, the reform candidate
for Dist. ATTY. in New York was
elected by an overwhelming ma
jority over the machine candl-
dates of the Democrats Gamma
N.Y. and Republicans. While it is
claimed that McClelland has a
small majority for Mayor, it is
probable that Hearst, the anti
machine candidate will be found
to have received the most votes
on recount, as Hearst will con-
test the election ON the ground
of wholesale frauds, which it is
asserted will give him at least
10000 majority.
The Democrats were victorlons
in Pennsylvania where the people
smashed the Republican machine
The Democratic Reform ticket
was also elected in Philadelphia
The entire Democratic ticket
was elected in Ohio by large
majority, and corrupt or
|sduelched.
