Court Reporters Earn From $4,000
to $4,000 a Year.

Don't read this unless you want to
be convinced of the wonderful super
iority of the Byrne Simpliied Short
hand as taught by the Tyler CONNER
cial College, of Tyler, Texas, over all
other systems.
There has been more official court
reporters appointed in Texas during
the past eighteen months who learned
the Byrne Simplified Shorthand in the
Tyler Commercial College, than there
was official writer's of all other sys-
TENS in the State combined up to this
time, as shown by the directory of
official court reporters of the o.. s..
published by Andrew J.. Graham &
Co. This proves cOnclusively the
wonderful superiority of the .Byrne
Simplified over all other systems.
With such overwhelming advan-
tages in u system of short hand and
method of teaching, it is no wonder
that the Tyler Commercial College
enrolled more than 1000 students from
20 States during the past year. Its
courses of Bookkeeping and Telegra-
ply are as much superior to- other sys-
TENS Is is its shorthand. Write for
and see what hundreds Of
those who know say.

ANOTHER CONFESSION.
Howard Tells Newspapermen OF
His Crime.-Appears Resign
ed to His Fate. Wants
No Appeal Taken.

Wednesday Dave Howard, the
negro under sentence OF death
for the murder of J. l.. Breaux,
the Syrian, made another con-
fessiOn, this time to the local
newspaper men, who, through
the courtesy of JailOr Saul
Broussard, were allowed to talk
with him. Towards confession
varied in some minor particulars
from statements heretofore made
by him. but not materially. He
seems resigned to his fate
and has giveI up hope. AL
though his attorneys. Messrs.
Elliott and st. Cyr expressed
their willingness to take an ap-
peal for him, if he desired them
to do so, he said he did not wish
it. He made the confession to
the newspaper men voluntarily
and freely and gave one the i'm
preston that his crime preyed
on his mind and that it was a
relief for him to talk about it.
He is confined in one of the steel
cages on the second floor and is
all alone with no company what
ever but his thoughts, which are
evidently very uncomfortable
from the readiness with which
he talks to visitors. His latest
confession told in his own words
and made into a consecutive mar
rative, was as follows: Il was
born in Ascension parish about
two miles from DOnaldsonville,
on May 16, 1873 and have a
mother living there now. l have
never been in any serious
trouble before, only for fighting,
playing cards and such. Work
ed at Opelousas at railroad grad
ing under Mr.. ShacklefOot, the
contractor. Beat upa colored
girl at Opelousas who broke a
promise to me, but did not as
sault her. Used my fist. Then
left and walked to Sunset, where
I got on a freight and road to
Lafayette, arriving here when
sun was about two hours high.
Ate supper with extra gang on
new railroad work, near brick
yard, where I stayed until Lake
Charles excursion came in.
Then | walked about town on
that side of railroad to locate
houses. Saw door aiar and went
in and got a coat. Then went
further and saw a window open.
Got in and looked around, then
went back to first house and got
ak. Had taken off myshoes. Invent
back in the house through the
window and began searching
armOr which was open. A bot
tie turned over and the man
awoke. l stepped back into the
hall. The man raised up and
looked around, then lay down.
l went back to the armor and
pulled a drawer open. The man
walked again, raised up and was
taking bar from over his head.
l didn't see any chance of get
ting out without the man seeing
me. and thinking he might have
a gun in the bed, 1 struck him
with the axe. He fell out of the
bed and pulled the bar down
with him. The woman walked
and asked him what was the
matter. He made no answer
back. l stayed in the house
about five minutes after hitting
the man, STOPPING down at the
foot of the bed to hide from her.
