Sponges on Louisiana Coast.

New Orleans. The latest discov-
cry, Illustrating the great material
wealth of Louisiana, is the finding
of sponges in paying quantities in
Calcasieu Pass. Officials here are
greatly interested in this find and
the possibilities of the development
of the industry.
Sponges in paying quantities
were found several days ago in
Calcasieu Pass by Captain Harry
Waits IT,, who was out fishing,
six miles in the pass, with a grab
hook for an anchor. He pulled up
some substance, which, upon exam
ination, proved to be a large
sponge.
1t is stated that the sponge is as
fine as can be found anywhere, and
it is believed that the industry
could be worked up to as much
Importance, as along the Florida
coast, where great amount of
sponges are found at a depth of
fifteen feet, and there is talk of
parties developing the field.

also sending similar letters to other
Southern journals and by this
means is disseminating information
concerning this section and giving
it wide advertising. which must

has ever been my good fortune to
witness.
The baby scented danger the
moment he saw the driver whisper
to his mother, and he placed a
large stack of timber between the
enraged animal and himself as
speedily as possible.
Elephants seem too clumsy to do
much running, but these two
coursed up and down the yard in a
manner which astonished me.
The youngster was quicker in
turning, but at last he was cornered.
The maternal trunk smote him on
the 1oins. He gave a shrek. At
a second stroke he dropped on his
knees and took his punishment
bravely and patiently. A few
minutes later he walked past US to
his shed, but his trunk was droop-
ing and the great tears were
coursing silently down his india
rubber cheeks.
I was sorry for the poor little
fellow, and I noticed that at dinner
time his mother was gently rubbing
him down with her trunk manifest
ing many signs of affection.-Ex-
change.

THE strong and pointed editorials
published by the Houston Post on
the recent outrage against Browns
vile by negro federal soldiers have
been read with great interest here,
and the hearty sympathy of the
Post, as we'll as of many other
papers both in Texas and other
states, is deeply appreciated by our
people. The Brownsville outrage
has called forth a powerful editorial
array against the policy of station
ing negro troops in the south, such
papers as the New York Sun,
Washington Post, St. Louis Re
public and New Orleans papers,
besides the Post and Chronicle of
Houston and the San Antonio
Express condemning the policy.

President Roosevelt Will be the next

Bryan said that if il were true, s=

When asked what he thought Of ta=
criticism by Democrats OF his idea 81
government ownership Of railroads.
Mr.. Bryan said that he had never af-
vocatad anything that was not oppo5-
ed in some quarters. He was told that
some of the Southern Democrats
seemed alarmed lest the Jim Crow ears
should be eliminated by tbs adoptol
of his ideas Of Federal ownership.
Mr.. Bryan in reply to this said that
if the various states owned the lines
within their borders. the local laws
would continue to be enforced. He WAS
asked if he meant that egroe and
whites would be separated if the stare
had a Jim Crow Law, to which nc re-
Piled that the State laws would ma
