OF the Union and that General An

and American soldiers won the ia
nous victory over the British on the
plains of Challmette is not sufficient.
So my advice to parties contemplate
ing visit TO New Orleans Is To do
what / did notpost up before EN-
barking. New Orleans was founded
i'm l7lS, and named in honor OF the
Duke OF Orleans, that brave and ca
pable soldire, brother of Louis XIV,
King of France. Not much history.
however, was made. real or romantic,
prior to the administration of Mar
quis dc Vaudreul. in i743, who es-
tablished miniature Court, Little
Versailles" balls and state dinners
Here in 1857 the first declaration of
Independence on American soil was
made.
PARKS.
The people of New Orleans take
great pride in their parks, and are
spending millions in identifying
them. on the grounds of Audubon
Park is to be seen perhaps the larg-
est green house in existence. 1t is
over three hundren feet long and
contains remarkable collection of
rare plants. But the object that i'm
pressed me most was majestic Live
Oak near the rustic bridge Its shad-
ow falls over twelve thousand and
five hundred square feet, and from
its aged appearance little Aztec In
dians doubtless climbed among and
playled beneath its branches a thou
sand years ago. The characteristics
and peciliarities of the people OF New
Orleans can be studied to advantage
in the parks of that city. For in
stance the idea of Creole being an
octoroon is nothing more nor less
than current fiction. The Creoles
are simply men and women born of
French or Spanish parentage, and in
the State OF Louisiana. Thousands of
men and women can be seen Sunday
afternoons in the parks. The ladies
are beautifully clad in snow white,
not to exceed one in hundred hav-
ing so much as a peagreen skirt. They
are pretty and bright, but have not
the lovely complexion, the common
possession of their sisters up in the
two Virginias.

VARDAMAN.
| would feel that my paper was in

were not made of the Governor OF
Mississippi. for everybody seemed to
crowd around him. He is handsome,
looks like a Kentuckian and man
calculated to make more history than
was ever written OF Arkansas. The
people address him as Governor"
yet it is doubtful If to any Prince or
King a more loyal support is ac-
corded. However, in saying this no
criticism of the brave and liberty.
loving citizens OF Mississippi is in
tended, but merely that VardSman is
appreciated by the people whom he
SO ably and faithfully serves. In one
respect was particularly struck with
the efficiency of his administration,
fever epidemic. Governor Vardaman
it will be remembered, stopped the
exodus from Louisiana to Mississip-
pi. adopting the most strenuous
measures to accomplish this purpose,
and he furthermore strongly con
demned the authorities and press of
New Orleans for concealing and sup
pressing evidences of the plague
Some criticized the Governor" at
the time for his strenuous methods,
but since hearing the people of the
two states talk about the matter and
hearing a number of able papers
read in the State Medical Society of
Louisiana on the subject of Yellow
Fever, State and National Quaran-
tine, | am thoroughly convinced that
the Governor" was right.

Mrs. III. Wrighf

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there 10 .
kind Of dyspepsia that is caused by .
arrangement Of the female organism,
and which, while It causes a disturb.
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without a medicine
which not only acts as q stomach tonic,
but has q peculiar tonic effect ON the 70.
male organism.
As proof Of this theory we call at
tention to the ease Of. Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia f. Pink.
hams Vegetable Compound after every.
thing else had failed. She writes:
"For two years I suffered with dyspepsia
which 80 degenerated the entire system that I
was unable TO attend to my daily duties. I
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that / alto
tasted good and il caused q disturbance In my
stomach ] tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. I was adj
vised to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound a trial, and was happily surprised
to find that II acted like a fine tonic, and in .
fewdays l began to enjoy and properlydigest
my food. Ny recovery was rapid, and In
five weeks ! was a well woman. / have REQ.
commended 1t to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed endorsement or has such q record
Of cures OF female troubles, as has Lydia
Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

Case o. Rank JnIusslee,

Not In years has rank injustice been
dealt to . man a. It has been to j. T.
Harahan, vice-president Of the iii.
nois Central railroad. since the zen.
sational meeting Of the stockholders
Of the company q few weeks ago. The
ethical mistreatment accorded Mr..
Harahan has been through press re.
ports emanating from unreliable
sources. During the past ten days all
sorts Of rumors regarding the future
presidency Of the Illinois Central have
been circulated, the chief allegation
being the selection Of Capt. Grammar
of the New York Central lines to sue.
coed S%tuyvesant Fish. This story was
out Of whole cloth and was written by
q travelling newspaper space writer.
It was offered to q number of papers
and refused. and finally accepted by
one from which 1t was telegraphed
throughout the country. The only ex.
PLANTATION is that the man who wrote
needed the money, for Capt. Grammar
vas offered the presidency Of
the Illinois Central. II Mr.. Fish we're
to decline another term as president
1t Is quite certain that ]. T. Harahan
would be elected to succeed him.
It has been Mr.. Harahan more than
any half dozen others who has popu.
larized the Illinois Central. He has
worked while others slept; has tray.
eled over the big system continuously.
and knows its patrons, passengers and
shippers, the newspapers and legisla.
tors. He never countenances a crooked
deal; has been on the level with
everybody. and back Of everything Is
the fact that he Is one Of the best
operating and traflc managers in the
country. The silly space stories have
worked harm to all concerned-Fish,
Grammar. Harahan and Stubbs-and
furnished no news, and there will be
no real news until the directors meet.

MONKEY PLAYED MANY PARTS.

might be written. A German gentle

Brought under the notice OF the Ge-
noese cu%stomhouse authorities, 1t vas
promptly deprived Of its identity. It
was no longer an animal; 1t became
a bird. and as a bird, on which %

the Swiss frontier, where, at n stroke
of the customhouse officers wand It
was transformed into a cat at the in
creased assessment o: $1.56, and
borne by train to Zurich.
On Its arrival there 1t ceased. az a
cat. to exist, and became a mere pack
age-an item of luggage that was con-
veyed to Constance for the nominal
sum OF 16 cents.
Still as luggage, though metamor-
phized from a package into a handbag,
1t went on Its way to Stuttgart, where
a great honor awaited 1t. 1t was, on

the city; "vaugirard," which was
opened in 1898, and replaced the old
slaughter-house OF Grenelle; and evil

food. Any butcher may slaughter ami.
mails at these abattoirs on payment Of
a tax Of 2 francs Gao cents) a hundred
Kilograms GEO pounds) on the meat
SO prepared. Butchers OF the nor
important class and specially licensed
are permitted to sell the meat which
they have thus provided directly to
the smaller dealers who keep retail
meat stores throughout the city. In.
spectOrs are in constant attendance
and any meat found infected with dis.
ease or otherwise unfit for food Is sat.
urated with petroleum and condemned.
Prior to the year 1910 the butchers Of
Paris slaughtered animals in the
streets and public squares. but at that
time municipal slaughter houses
"abattoirs"-were established where
animals intended for human food are
inspected and the whole process OF
Strengthening and disposal of the meat
and offal are kept under official sur.
