aS80 waiter travelled 10 miles, 8 for and 8
with, the necessary utensil?
This is what would have occurred had you
been at the extreme end of the banquet table in
Paris where $4,000 delegates sat down to board
8 miles long. At least such would have been
your experience had such mishap occurred but
at this mommoth dinner held in the Champs de
Mars and given to the great body of delegates
Of the Mutual Aid Societies of Europe every
thing was so well appointed and the smallest de-
tail given such close attention, that there were
no slip-ups of this nature, although many laugh
able things kept the merriment high.
In the first place when the great army of dele
gates seated there seemed to be absolutely no
thing to eat except the bread sticks or rolls placed
artstically on the napkins at each guests plate.
The long board one unbroken stretch of
snowy linen, sparkling glass and glistening silver,
but there was nothing in sight-barring the bread
to appease tie hunger of the marveling dele
gates
THE FOOD MYSTERIOUSLY APPEARS.
When every man was seated from somewhere
in space many silver toned bells tingled and
the walters, stationed one to every three guests,
stood at attention.
There was a strange whirring and buzzing back
Of the delegates and those who forgot their man
ners at the prickng of curiosity-and it is to be
Judged that there not many who did not
saw a strange sight.
Back of the walters there ran an aerial railroad
and over this road at the tinkle of the invisible
bells there came fiat cars bearing great silver
tureens OF soup. Each waiter had station and
as the car came along he stepped up pulled the
hneens towards him and with quickness and
dispatch served his allotted three guests sending
the car on to the next station, when he had FIN
ished.
This road was operated very much on the same
order as the cash basket system in the depart
ment stores When a car was empty it was Civ.
en- right of way and sent through express" to
the supply wagons, which were stationed about
a half mile from the dining table, and at inter
walls of about one mile, on each side of the table
Meats, entrees desserts, liquors and souvenirs,
all Travelled in due time on this queer aerial rail
road and each dish that was supposed TO be hot
was served steaming, while the ices and the wines
were refreshingly cold.
These cars started on the tracks direct from
the supply wagons, and swung around on to the
main track, an electric automatic switch regu'
lating the turn, SO that there were sixteen cars
travelling over the road constantly.

a man whose OccupdIlOn Mus no en-
try in any directory-official or otherwise.
He is professional designer of neckties, and
there are probably not more than three or four
like him, working as "free lances' in the coun-
try, these men being usually employed by whole
sale scarf manufacturers and jealously guarded.
His work is not, of course, the designing of pat
terms of the material used, that being in the
hands of artists, but consists in devlsing new
shapes and styles in tying fastening
The world has moved since the days of the
scarf of the "chest-preserver' type, and many
patterns and shapes have found a temporary
boom and then passed out of sight.
The demand for styles is steady and con-
slant and the "free lance" is always inventing
novelties. He knows his market, for what would
suit one house would not be adapted to the
higher requirements of another, so that he can
always get a good price for his ideas.
To get good thing in che shape that catches
on is to obtain monopoly that will be a profit
able undertaking for the firm that has purchased
1t.
There are hundreds of notions that are tried,
hut very few Of them ever achieve any popularity.
The most likely IDEAS according to the profes-
sional tie designer, are those that initiate the
more expensive shapes with economy of ma
terial, this enabling the manufacturers to offer
10 the middle class buyer an article which as
sists him to keep up reputation for being smart
ly dressed, and at the same time keep down ex-
penses.

Mr.. Liable BELIEVED.


sheriff down in st. Martin writes
to The Times-Democrat:
Breaux Bridge, La, March 26, 06,
To the Editor of The Times-Dem-
ocrat:
Allow me the use of your col
ums to deny some statement made
by Chairman T. j, Liable, in your
issue of the 25th instant. l can
hardly deny him the right to as
sert that the resolutions adopted to
control the primary of the second
of next April is duplicate copy
of resolutions accepted as fair to
all parties interested in the Rees-
Badon contest of two years ago.
1t were better for the peace and
good name of our people and the
unity and integrity of our party,
not to have sevived those sorrow
full days, but history shows that in
that contest an appeal was first
made to the State Executive Com
mittee, which declared that they
had no jurisdiction or authority to
examine into the matter, and re-
ferred it to the State Central Com
mittee, which met the next day.
That committee took hold of the
case and appointed subcommit-
tee, delegating to that subcommit-
tee all powers in the premises; but
to the surprise of every body by a
technical point, and by parliament
tary tactics, that subcommittee was
stillborn. / refer you here to the
records of your great journal, and
you will be satisfied that this state
ment is the truth and nothing but
the truth. F'om then mandamus
proceedings were fled before the
District Court and to make the
story short, from the decision of
said court an appeal was taken to
the Supreme Couit, which declar-
ed that however great the abuses,
however serious the charges, and
what were the wrongs practised,
there was no remedy in law, under
the primary election act.
am not a member of the parish
executive committee, and had no
body therein to represent me.
WAS NEVER INVITED IN.
1 was never invited by Chairman
Liable as candidate for sheriff to
take part in the deliberation OF the
parish executive committee to my
knowledge. Mr.. Victor Maraist,
one of the candidates for sheriff,
being a member of the parish exc
cutive committee, when the mo-
ton was made for primary by a
plurality vote, strongly objected,
declaring it to be against the very
essence of true democracy, but his
opinion was overruled and the re-
solution adopted, forcing imme-
diately the withdrawal of Mr.. Mar
aist and Aston Patin who were
candidates.
When it became known that the
poll tax lists for the years 1904 and
1905 had been removed or taken
away from the clerks Office, fol
what purpose l certainly can not
ever surmise, 1 spent two days in

so SAYS CHAIRMAN Liable ABOUT
PRIMARY RULES.

Chairman T. j. Liable of this
parish Democratic executive COM
mittee of st. Martin writes this
letter:
st. Martinville, La, March %, O6.
To the Editor of The Times Dem
ocrat:
Permit me to correct some state
ments made in your paper about
the resolution adopted by the pa
IRISH committee ordering the pri-
mary election to be held April 2
to fill the vacancy for the Office of
sheriff.
The resolution adopted is du-
plicate copy Of the resolution ac-
cepted as fair to all parties inter-
ested by a conference composed by
a committee of the State central
committee, Messrs. Rees and Brous-
-sard, who were represented by
Congressman Broussard, and my
self representing the Badon fac
ton for the last primary election
held in st. Martin parish.
The candidates were members of
the same faction and were equally
divided on the committee as to
their friends; two of the candidates
were present and members of the
committee.
Candidates not members OF the
committee were invited by the
chairman to take part in the deli
berations of the committee.
The resolutions were introduced
by Senator Robert Martin, who ex-
planned them at length. Every
point was discussed; all candidates
present agreed to have one prima-
~ and the resolutions were unani-
mously adopted by the committee,
of which only four members were
absent out of twenty eight.
Five or six days after the meet
ing the two candidates held a con-
ference and agreed among them
selves that they would have poll
lists made so that all citizens emit
tied to vote would be able to vote
even if their poll receipts were
lost.
This could only be done by CON-
mon agreement, there being no
sheriff, no one could give these
lists.
Mr.. joseph Pellerin, who is OPP
posed to the administration candi-
date, was surprised this morning
to hear that he had claimed unfair
treatment at the hands of the CON-
mittee or the administration at any
time. He said that he was salts
fed that he was getting fair treat
ment, not only from the admins
tration, but from his opponent Mr..
A. E. Broussard, who, he said, was
making as clean a campaign IS ne
was. and he felt that if the end OF
the campaign was as peaceaple as
the beginning it would redound to
the credit of st. Martin parish.

senting Joseph Pellerin, said lists

said lists to be made Immediately,
commencing tomorrow; said lists

trary, 1 have all the time, and l am
still. declaring 80, on the stump,
that Judging by the manner in
which my supporters have been
treated in their effort to become
qualified, while my opponent was
given all the advantages possible,
the difficulty I met with in reach
ing the agreement referred to, to
make the poll lists to substitute
those which had been stolen from
the clerks Office, the fact that l
have only one commissioner at each
poll, when I was forced to furnish
three names for each precinct, and
the further fact that there has
been 80 far no publication of the
names of these commissioners, /
have grave reasons to fear unjust,
unfair, if not illegal means, will be
resorted to to defeat me. Admit
ting that did express satisfaction
when the said agreement was sign
ed which game me q semblance OF
fairness, since, for reasons given
above. l am far from being salts
fed, 1 inclose herewith resolution
of parish executive committee and
a copy of the agreement referred
to, inviting you to make whatever
comments you deem proper.
Very respectfully yours,
JOS. PELLERIN.
