Shreveport:
 Tn order to correct misstatements that are being published by some lead- ing newspapers as to the number of yellow fever cases that have been treat ed at the Shreveport detention camp will state that there has never been the suspicion of a case of yellow fever in Shreveport. In the detention camp, far removed from the city, there have been treated in all three cases taken from incoming trains, of which one died and two are well. There are no further cases of sickness in the detention camp while the general health and sanitary condition of the city are nearer perfect than have ever known.

Negro Burned by Lightning.

One of the most horrible deaths re- corded in this county was that of 9 ToulminviIle, on Davis Avenue. this afternoon. The negro's name Is un- known, but he was found immediately after d severe thunderstorm. hanging over a fence made of barbed wire, with his arm burning. Efforts to ex- tricate him resulted in the rescuers being hurled to one side because of the barbed wires being so surcharged with the deadly electric fluid as to be unapproachable. The dead body was finally released by means of rope. It is thought the man was hurled against the fence by a stroke of light ming and there killed by the fluid.

PICKETT SPRINGS CASINO.
SprightIy French Comedy by the HeIs-
 man Company.

SprfghtIy French Comedy by the HeIs-
 man Company.
 "The Adventures of a Lost Love Let ter" a sprightly French farce, was rendered last night by the Heisman Stock Company to a pleased and satis- fled audience at the Pickett Springs Casino.
 While the farce is French in it's scenes and French in its cleverness. there Is not a line, nor scene, nor an allusion to which the most prudish could object. In this itself the farce was original and distinct from other French farces. John Heisman appeared as Prosper. the young man industriously hunting a wife at the behest of his uncle. He did the role as he does always his work con- scientiously and intelligently. Miss Barbour's rendering of the sis ter-in-law endeavoring to prevent com- plications was fine to a high degree. She Is an excellent little actress, one on whose engagement the patrons of the Casino may well congratulate them selves. She earned every bit of the generous applause given her.
 The other members of the cast show . ed up satisfactorily in all lines of their work. Miss Minell was especially clever.
 The same play will be produced at a matinee and night performance today. At the matinee today children will be admitted free of charge. At the night performance any lady will be admitted free if she is accompanied by another person with a paid admission.

 It should not be thought a thing incredible that the Bible was lost in that early and crude age. when those who could read it could be counted on ones fingers.

Admirable New Conductor.

Lawrence Gilman in Harper's Weekly.
 Willem Mengelberg of Amsterdam, the first of the new conductors whom the Philharmonic society has arranged to inn port from Europe for the direction of it's concerts this season, appeared with the orchestra at the first of it's current series of performances on November Il. MT. Mengelberg is conductor of the celebrated "Concertgebouw" orchestra of Amster- dam, and is one of the most eminent of those "baton prma donnas' who are all most as common in Europe, some one has said, as are geniuses in Boston. But be- sides being eminent, MT. Mengelberg is also uncommonly able.
 He chose Strauss Fin Heldenleben" as the chief medium for displaying his capabilities. He could not have made better choice His reputation has been built mainly upon his Strauss perform ances, and justly so, as it now appears. He played Fin Heldenleben' as New York had never heard it played before not even under Strauss himself. The work demands a huge tireless anc expert Or chestra. an acute and comprehensive in telligence. and masterful temperament. These essentials were comprised in the remarkable exhibition given by Mr. Mengei- berg and the Philharmonic orchestra it was impossible to listen to it without real zrg, as Wagner observed Of Scnumahii' that Strauss has at least "a certain teh- dency toward greatness, and that MT. Mengelberg is a conductor whom II 10 pleasure to honor.

miles an hour, seated in these narrow cars, stifed with bad air and dirt. It costs no great effort to imagine fifty years hence a splendid locomotive, with hotel, spacious parlors, dining rooms, and dormi- tories, moving gently as the bird flies oyer a road carpeted by turf and bordered by shade trees and sweet shrubs from Boston to San Francisco in four days" Have not the good bishops prophecies almost literally come true? Shall we not soon leap the continent from the Atlan- tic to the Pacific in less than four days?
 Then Bishop Clark goes on at prophe- sies some of the wonderful inventions that have come to pass in the electric world: ''The electric battery, which now in some of our cities strikes the midnight hour, may be made at evening to light all of our street lamps at one flash, secuie e perfect uniformity in time in our public clocks and kindle a beacon on these dreary rocks in the sea, where human beings now endure a melancholy and dangerous solitude" Bishop Clark from the celestial heights might see those elec- tric lights shining today. Speak out, ye lonely islanders now in touch with man. kind. Speak out!
 Then the good bishop goes on and de- scribes the wonderful invention of the uloutTU lyptWTlltT, tO tilt Ollt Ol tIc 5 ttl- est labor saving machines in the world. He continues: ''There is another inven- tion which I for one would hail with ex- ceedng joy. It may seem absurd to pre- dict that the time may come when it will not be customary to teach our children how to write. It would have been thought just as absurd fifty years ago to have foretold that the boys of this generation would grow up not knowing how to make a pen. But that time is going to come"
 Thus In closing this sermon on this Thanksgiving Sabbath 1 would have us one and all. amid the great hum of factory and by the flash of electric spark. make this one prayer: 70 God, make me hhanlkful for the food 1 eat, for the cloth ing I wear and for the many, many bless ings of inventions round about me. Fiji me with the holy desire not to build for myself a hanging garden of Babylon. but to be so blessed through the help of modern invention that out of my abundance I may give to thee and to thy children.' May this be the Thanksgiving

prayer of every heart. Then instead of material wealth being the cause of our spiritual overthrow it will be the means by which we ourselves may be lifted by liil-ing a hungry and a naked and fallen race up toward God and heaven. Then, indeed. shall the desert blossom as the rose and the barren places of the earth through the power of invention be filled with the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. Then will our Thanksgiv- ing day be a glorious Thanksgiving day for those we love and for those whom we shall bless
