er day, George f. Sproule. secretary
of the Board of Port Wardens, said
about the oldest vessel he knows OF

had been in these waters up to that
time. She sailed from this port in
1865 and did not return until 1873,
when she was 100 years Old. She came
in with load of cryoltc from Ivigtut.

London: The desperate condition OF
the poor of London was brought to the
notice OF Premier Balfour Monday by a
remarkable deputation Of the wives
and other women relatives of the UNI
employed, who did not hesitate to tell
the Premier unless something is speed
lily done to lessen their sufferings their
will be blood shed.
Don't forget that hungry men are
desperate men," said one of the speak
ers. All had the same story to tell Of
husbands out of work and starving
wives and children. The pinched faces
and tattered clothing of the women,
some of whom had babies in their arms
bore eloquent testimony of the truth Of
their complaints. Enormous crowds
OF women from all parts of London
marched through the streets headed by
n deputation which Mr.. Balfour receiv-
ed at the office Of the local government
board.
The Marseillaise was heard as the
procession advanced, perhaps the first
time It was ever heard under such cir
cumstances In the streets OF London.

LOUISIANA NEWS.

Baton Rouge, La, Nov. 5.-The in
surance department has received the
declaration of suit filed against an
insurance company doing business in
Louisiana, which was written in for
eign language and of the contents of
which the department is entirely igno
rant The suit was served upon the
department by the Imperial German
consul at New Orleans. 1t was filed in
the German court. at Laudgerick, Ger
many. by Husemer Mobe-Falrick Ge-
seIschoH. against the St. Paul Fire &
Marine Insurance company, of st.
Paul. MINI. Tho declaration served
upon the department by the consul was
written in German. and the department
was in doubt of it's right to receive
such a declaration but was advised by
Attorney General Guion that it was
best to do so, and the declaration was
reccivA and notice of the suit served
upon the st. Paul company. 1t was
necessary to send them the original. as
no duplicate copy of the declaration
could be made by the insurance com
mission. The reasons for the suit are
not known The amount involved in
the ease is also n matter Of mystery.
Notice OF suit has been filed
through the department upon the West
chester Fire. Insurance Company of
New Orleans. This suit Is brought by
Mary Lozes ct al of New Orleans for
81 1893. The declaration recites that
Mary Lozcs ct al owned "A building in
New Orleans which was insured in the
Westminster Fire Insurance company
for $1,000. and which was burned on
the night of August %, but for which
loss the plaintiffs have never been paid
though proof of fire has been made. The
original declaration asks for full value
of the policy. but supplemental dec
laration Is filed asking for 81 800 judg-
ment. the dollar being taken off to keep
the suit out Of the Federal court.
The latter part of the last week has
been unfavorable for gathering both
cotton and cane. but the rains did little
actual damage to crops In this section.
The gathering Of the cotton crop Is
so far advanced that the few days of
light rain made little difference. In
some of the fields, where the top crop
was complete failure. the picking is
about completed and this week. If the
weather is favorable to gathering the
crop. will see the cotton out of num-
Der of fields. The crop is so light in
this section that all of the fields have
n December appearance, and with fav-
orable weather all OF the cotton will
be gathered by the last of the month.
The first of last week was favorable to
cane, as the weather was dry and cool.
and a steady improvement in the grade
of cane was noted. All mills in this
section are in operation. No complaints
of shortage of labor have been received
from planters.

Fraudulent Solicitation Of Advertising.

Galveston. Texas, Nov. 6.-l am in
receipt OF advice from n number OF our
Northern connections, that a scheme
is being worked in various parts OF the
country by persons claiming TO repre-
sent a publication called The South
west" which they claim Is being cir
culatd with the compliments of the
-- Railroad Company The name
OF the line used as stool pigeon be
ing changed from time to time as the
occasion may require. and ! suppose
that the name OF the publication may
be changed likewise.
The idea Is to solicit n prospective
advertiser for his card. promising him
fifty copies of the publication will be
furnished free to each firm represent
ed in It's columns. As n mark OF good
faith collection OF 81 is made. II is
needless to say that the publication.
If ii exists at all. is backed by none OF
the railroad companies of the country.
and the person or firm who accepts the
offer and pays the 81 Is simply being
robbed Of his money.
We give you this information in or
der that you may warn your patrons
against the bunco game, that is being
from almost every part OF
the United States.
No complaint has been received from
Texas. but it is safe to assume that
these men will play no favorites, IL
they think there is money in it.
