USELESS EXPENDITURES
Pointed Out in the Final Report
Made to the CouPt---2O
Indictments Found.

To the Honorable George Wear,
Judge of the Fifth judicial Dis
trict Court, holding session of
Court in and for the Parish of
WInn, Louisiana:
We your grand Jury in session
at the present sitting of your
Honorable Court. beg leave to
report as follows:
We have examined into thirty
nine cases and have found twenty
True Bills of Indictment, as will
be seen by reference to the docket
kept by us and returned to you
herewith. We. have referred to
the Honorable District Attorney
eight cases for further investiga-
ton.
We report to your Honor that
we have made careful examina-
tion and investigation of the state
Of society throughout your Parish
and we find that in general the
people are mostly at peace with
one another and In such cases as
we found where there were in
fractions of law. we have made
full examination and herewith
call your attention to them.
We have examined the public
buildings of The Parish aud we
recommend in case of the Jail that
there be some repairs made upon
the rods and gratings of the doors
and windows thereof and that the
inside castings be painted as q
matter of precautinn for their
preservation.
In reference to the Court house
we would recommend that inside
walls be recalcimined and the cas-
ings be painted. so that our Court
house may present q more attrac-
tive appearance. We desire to
state that the Clerks Office is
badly lighted, that our Clerk has
not the proper facilities for keep
ing his records in a form for easy
reference and we think that his
Office should be oysrhauled and
refitted with modern improve
nlents and contrivances, so that
when parties wish to consult the
records they may do so without
putting our clerk to SO much
needless loss of time and incon-
venience.
We recommend that the
Sheriff ! Office be remodeled and
that his vault be fitted up
with modern conveniences. We
recommend to have place in the
Assessors Office such furniture as
the Honorable Police Jury may
find expedient, in order to facil-
itate the work of the Assessor.
We have examined into the
coalition of the public roads of
the parish and find that they are
ia reasonably good condition,
with the exceptions as noted in
reports appended hereto. We
would recommend that the bridge
west Of town be oyerhauled and
rem0deIed, so as to render it safe
Cor the passage Of vehicles over
same. The other bridges IN the
Parish seem to be IN fairly good
condition.
We note with approval that
some Of the prisoners who have
been retained in the parish Jail
have been working some Of the

We find that in the case of one
Henry Miller who was killed by a
negro woman the unnecessary
charge connected with his demise
was at least 30 per cent more
than they should have been and
that the attention of our Police
Jury was called to this fact by
their attorney and that they were
informed that the expenditure
was illegal.

We would recommend that our
Magistrates make fuller reports
to the Grand Jury ut its sittings
of eases that may seem to need
attention, that may come up IN
their respective wards. We are
sorry to report that We have got
ten one report from the Magis
trates of our parish.
We would particularly call the
attention of your Honor to the
fact that we are unable to de
termine the character of the ex-
penditures from the books pre-
sented to us and would recon-
mend to the Honorable Police
Jury that they have full and
adequate reports made of their
expenditures and so recorded
that your Grand Jurors may be
able to determine readily what
such expenditures were made for.

Husband the Master,

Most married women imagine that
they are mistresses in their own
houses, but, that, it appears, unless
they actually hold the deed to the
property, is a delusion. 1T should be
distinctly understood" said Judge
Swartz of Norristown, Pa, in a recent
case, that the husband is master of
his own house. The wife has no rigtS
to invite or admit her mother or any
one else to the house against her hus
bands will" The judge was good
enough to add that the wife might go
to see her mother whenever she wish
ed; provided she did not go so often
as to neglect her duty to her husband
and her home, but he did not say that
man must see that the kindling
wood was chopped and, the water pals
full before he INDUCED in a visit to
his father.

Lobster's Bad Character,

The Scotch fishery board in its
twenty-third annual report gives the
following as the characteristics of the
lobster. 1t is an essentially surly
suspicious and Gnsociable fish, and re-
CARDS anything that comes near ii as
its foe. The main motive of its ac-
tiyity is defense, and in defending
itself it manifests blind and unre-
lenting vengeance. 1t procures a hole
in which to wait for its prey, and
% which to retire after fight, and it
is then unsafe for any animal TO ap-
proach it.
Its keenness of attack and relent-
less hold when once it has gripped
its antagonist are due to its want of
sight. The eye of the lobster is so
sensitive that strong light blinds it.
Although it possesses keen sight
when first Matched, the lobster is
practically blind later in life 1t sees
nothing properly, but simply has the
sensation of light and shadow. 1t
tests a shadow with its antennae, and
sometimes when strong shadow is
cast on it. the lobster will leap at it
on the off-chance that it is a foe.
The fighting tendency makes it diff
6cult to keep lobseters in confine-
ment. When once they have settled
down, however, they will live at
peace with one another, but it is
only an armed neutrality, and if one
