REVIVAL OF KU KLUK KHAN
Nearoes At Shreveport, Las Warned
BY Mounted, Masked and Draped
Men To Be Good.

Shreveport, La.-Late on Thursday
night fifty mounted men, draped and
masked in black, rode all over the city.
causing a stampede in the negro dis
tricts. They warned the negroes that
they must respect law and order.
z Every negro dive, as we'll as every
negro home, was visited by the mystic
rious horsemen. Panic-stricken. blacks
fed in every direction, but no effort
was made to harm them.
When the 'horsemen rode silently
away from the negro district they left
a trail of closed saloons, locked resi-
dences and deserted streets. Their
warning was effective, for the present
at least.

MONEY LENDERS TEST CASE
He Wants to Levy On the House
hold Goods of the Castellanes
For Money Lent to BOni.

Paris, France.-An application was
made to the civil tribunal of the Seine,
Thursday, in behalf of a money lender,
for permission to levy on the house
hold goods in the Castellane mansion
to satisfy a claim for money advanced
to Count Boni.
The lawyers for the countess resisted
the request on the grounds that the
goods are her separate property. The
case finally was referred to a judge'in
chambers to determine whether a por-
ton of the counts belongings are in the
mansion.
The case is considered to be a test
affecting numerous other creditors.

committee on pensions, reported the bill
O provide for the enumeration of
confederate soldiers and sailors and
their widows, with the Senate amend
ments, and the report being favorable,
the amendments were concurred in. The
two amendments are to add the words

swer for the purpose of making repairs
and additions to the deaf and dumb in
stitute and the insane asylum. The res
olution was adopted.
The House spent the morning session
at work on the report of the appropria-
ton committee. There was nothing of
contest until the bill appropriating
$5.O O for a geological survey was pre-
sented, when Mr.. Cunningham offered an
amendment, which provided that the APP
preparation could not be drawn from the
treasury until the United States govern
ment had made a like appropriation.
The amendment was voted down. The
original appropriation carried.
With but a single change the deaf and
dumb institute appropriation was passed.
The change was suggested by the COM
mittee. An appropriation of $4,000
each for two infirmary departments was
asked for the East Mississippi Insane
Hospital.
Chairman Brown stated that the COM
mittee had thought it best to make the
sum cover one first-class infirmary de-
partment, which would cost the original
sum of $4,000. The House agreed with
the committee and passed the %appropria-
ton measure as submitted.
In the matter of the appropriation for
the maintenance of the Beauvoir Home
for INDECENT Confederate soldiers, sailors
and their widows, the only change was
in allowing the sum not used during last
year to be turned back into the home
fund with the new appropriations.
Chairman Brown offered the bill pro-
svidine for additions to the State Capitol
in the matter of approved generator ap-
paratus and compressed air pressure

The stories of vast shoals of sea
snakes have been set down as of the
ordinary variety of sailors yarns.
But of late DR.. Becker. of the United
States Geological Survey, saw a sight
Of this kind which proved the ~veracity
of these tales. Between Cuba and Jolo
the ship passed through q sea Of
snakes for 100 miles. DIR. Becker
computes that there were at least 5000
of them to each square mile, and that
If the school" Of serpents was as
broad as it was long there must have
been $4,000, 900 of them. 1t was literally
true that the nea was alive with them.

had been, business success without in
lteresting adventure Being an Ameri-

She decided, just a few weeks before
her departure, to turn over to Eng

! York at Liverpool. 1t was Dan Cupid
that led her to this unforeseen deci-
sion, for she did not once dream that
this voyage would be the most mo-

tramped. She was ready for the return

was not confined to her stateroom be-

walked up and down the promenade

bound for New York, then across the

A vision of lovely American inde-
Ipendence was pacing slowly up and
down when he reached the deck for the
