delphia Record of Sunday, Dec 5, 1905,
published an article in its personal
column which reads as follows: DIR.
Charles A. Goldsmith. 50 years old, of
New Haven, Conn, and Walter H. VIII
kie, 6S years old, of Rockville, have
arranged to start on trip around the
world next spring and neither will have
a cent of capital. They will work their
way, DR.. Goldsmith says he has three
valuable implements with which TO ac-
cOmplish the object-a camera.
tongue, and pen. Information proves
that both these gentlemen witnessed
performance of Willard Sponsors
dainty comedy opera, Miss Bob
White" in Philadelphia last summer,
and were interested therein to such
an extent that they started many ar
guments regarding the plot which out
lines two millionaires who lose an cleo
ton bet and are forced to become
tramps for three months, using none
of their money or friends to assist
them So wrapped up in the idea were
Goldsmith and Wilkie that they set
upon similar trip Miss Bob
White" is at the Illinois tonight
Performance in Two Parts.-George
Primrose and his big minstrel company
will be the attraction at the Illinois
theater tomorrow evening. This sea
sons company and production are said
to far surpass anything before seen in
minstrelsy An entire new outfit of
costumes, scenery, electric effects and
properties have been constructed for
this tour The opening part is in two
scenes. the first a correct reproduction
of "ye old-time minstrels,' with Sam
bo. Bones and Tambo on the end
chairs During this part all the old
time songs, dances and jokes will be
heard. The second part will consist
of scenes typical of negro life from the
oid-time slavery days to the present
day dandy coon, which will be a
novelty to the younger generations,
as it will show the negro in the field,
the plantation quarters, and in the
cabin indulging in his happy-go-lucky
songs, dances and humor.
Just Like Eva. - According to the
Kewanee Star-Courier. Eva Tanguay,
who played in that city Monday even
ing. lost valuable diamond during
the performance. After a frantic
search it was discovered under the
stage by Lou Cassidy, one of the scene
shifters Eva proclaimed the young
man as just the incest she ever saw,
gave him a ten spot and then-kissed
him.
At the Crystal Theatre.-Another of
those strong bills which the Crystal
offers is playing to good houses this
week and pleasing the audiences i'm
mensely. Julia Edwards opens the
program with a performance on the
Spanish rings, and the muscular de-
velopment displayed by the young lady
is wonderful. George Coley sings two
coon songs" in a first class manner,
tells his gags pleasingly and finishes
his act with a well rendered cornet
solo. DAILY and O'Brien offer a funny
sketch in which they introduce the
best dancing yet seen. the tanglefoot
work of Mr.. DAILY being marvellous. |

Edythe Stanley sings the best illus
trated song that has yet been offered
in this theatre-"Will the Angels Let
Me Play?" Haverly and McRae offer
a funny act in which one of the gen
tlemen impersonates a stranded actor
and the other a silly boy. The Crystal
scope closes the program with n fine
comedy picture, Moving Day, or No
Children Allowed"

What 1t Will Cost.

Mr.. Charles Gutekunst who
takes great deal of interest in all
public movement, gave us the fol-
lowing information concerning the
construction of the Cypress Isla nd
drainage:
To get an approximate cost of
the completion of the Canal, l
have calculated by cross sections
the probable excavation to CON-
plete the Canal at fifteen feet bot
tom, one to one slope, from Bayou
Teche to Cypress Island where
Coulee enters the wood at two and
a half feet below the level of the
ground at that point, with two feet
fall to the Bayou, amounts to
645S0 cubic yards at Is cts per
cubic yard would cost S9,687 90.
Branches would have to be loca-
ted and considered separately.

Grip Quickly Knocked Out.

"Some weeks ago during the severe
winter weather both my wife and my
self contracted severe colds which speed
lily developed into the worst kind of Ia
grippe with all its miserable symptoms"
says Mr.. j. s. EglestOn of Maple Land
ing, Iowa. Knees and joints aching,
muscles sore, head stopped, eyes and nose
running. with alternate spells of chills
and fever. We began using Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, aiding the same
with dose OF Chamberlain Stomach
and Liver Tablets, and by its liberal use
soon completely knocked out the grip
1t is good plan to take dose of the
Tablets when you have cold. They

fetal when the system is congested by a

statement is made public, we pro-
test against the town or the parish
appropriating any money, they
have no right to be appropriating
money without knowing that the
money is absolutely needed.
We are not opposed to appro-
priations made for school purpos Q {,

be appropriated for any purpose,
unless it is an amount shown to
be needed, and only that amount
should be appropriated and
no more. Why should the Coun-

out first knowing that it is needed,

Make Your Wants Known.

We publish this week letter
from DR.. J. r. Olivier, a member
of the School Board, protesting
against the budget by the Town
Council, leaving out any appro-
priation for school purpose.
We are pleased to see that the
Doctor is taking an interest in
this matter, and we take this &C.
casion to suggest to the Doctor
and to the members of the School
Board, that before they ask any
thing to the Council or the Police
Jury they should make at least a
statement of their affairs.
If the Council carried its bust
ness the way the School Board
does DIR. Olivier would not have
known that the School Board was
left out.
We are of opinion that the
School Board like the Town and
Parish should make a budget that
should be published making an
estimate of probable resources,
based upon the revenues of the
past year. and making an estimate
of the probable expenses of the
Board for the year.
Doctor Olivier himself does not
seem to know the financial condi-
ton of the School Board, and he
one of the intelligent members of
our School Board.
Make statement OF your re-
sources and expenditures of the
past year, make a present state
ment of your financial condition,
and it will be easy to prove to the
Town authorities, the Police Jury
and the public that you need a
certain amount of money to run

CAN'T WAIT
Countess de CaStenane Is in
a Hurry to Quit
~. Dons

Paris, Feb. 17.-An urgent" writ
has been served on Count Boni de
Castellane making him defendant in
the separation proceedings of his wife,
formerly Anna Gould, This decisive
step was taken after renewed efforts
to effect a reconciliation had proved
fruitless. The count accepted service
OF the writ, even calling upon the
countess lawyers to facilitate fixing
upon a place where the writ could be
delivered. The bill Of complaint was
filed at the same time. It follows
very closely the countess prina facie
showing when she first asked the
courts permission to take action
against her husband. 1t mentions no
names. but particularized certain Incl
dents In which the count is alleged to
have participated and it asks for
decree for what the French law terms
I separation of body and property"
meaning complete marital separation
without dissolution Of the bonds Of
matrimony. The court holds the bill
OF complaint in the strictest secrecy,
but the foregoing are the essential
features of its contents. 1t can be
stated with absolute positiveness, now.
that the countess has formally inall-
gurated her action, that 1t is her inten-
ton to secure a decree at the earliest
date possible, The count will not con-
test the granting Of q decree. III &,

eroy, Warren s. Hayden, Charles TacN,
Will Christy and John r. Mutt.
I Banker Kleybolt brings his action
ON behalf of all the creditors OF the
company, including the holders of
bonds.
E The pith of the action is found in the
allegation that these defendants pre-
scented to themselves S2,9a0,000 Of the
capital stock of the Miami and Erie
company, which was issued to them as
paid up stock, but for which they made
no payments, and on the strength Of
which the company caused 100000
in bonds to issue and to contract other
debts. The petition asks that these
defendants be compelled to pay par
for their stock and that the proceeds
be applied to the debts of the COM
pany. #. i -
Mr.. Kleybolt alleged he has obtained
Judgment on thirteen bonds Of the
company for $4,000; has issued execu-
ton which he alleges was returned
unsatisfied and that his investigation
shows the company has debts amount
ing to $1,500,000 and that it's assets
will not realize more than $211 900.

President Dolan arose in the midst of
the turmoil and reiterated his pre-
vious declarations that he would never
resign nor would he be ousted unless
by a referendum vote Of the miners Of
the Pittsburg district who elected him
their leader.
According to the attorneys for the
delegates the action taken by their
clients is not in opposition to the tenn
porary snjunction secured recently by
President Dolan When the hearing
on the injunction proceedings was held
last Wednesday an agreement was
reached between counsel for both sides
that parliamentary rules were to be
observed during the remaining SEES
sions of the convention and that bust
ness was to progress as though there
was no injunction. - The attorneys
state the courts order protects Presi-
dent Dolan from personal violence, but
does not interfere with the transac-
ton of business. s -

Binghampton, N. Y, Feb. 17.-Jos.
eph Leslie, a locomotive engineer on
the Susquehanna division of the Erie
railroad, was found dead at his post
at Wellsburg. No damage was done
because of the alertness of the trains
crew. Leslie, who was engineer of a
fast freight train, reached out, Of the
cab at Corning to catch orders handed
to him on a ring when his head struck
some projection and presumably he
was instantly killed. Passing through
Elmira his lifeless body hung out of
the engine cab, the head striking SEM
aphores and gates, blood being spilled
I'LL along the tracks. The towermen
at Elmira noticed something wrong
from the fact that the freight was then
running at the rate Of mile a minute
and they cleared the track ahead. The
conductor made his way over the train
and set the airbrakes The fireman
was not aware of the death of the en-
gineer until Wellsburg was reached,
The engine being of the Mother Hub
