A PARISH FAIR.

The question of organizing a
Parish Fair Association to hold
annual fairs in Lafayette should
be taken up as early as possible
by the Progressive League.
The parish fair is one of the
best and most effective means of
developing the productivity OF
the parish by demonstrating
through exhibits what can be
raised, also the quality and
quantity, and at the least posi-
BILE expenditure of work and
money.
Every parish which has held
parish fairs gives a good report
as to results, and Lafayette
should get in line on this parish
fair movement which is spread
ing over the State.
Acadia parish is On of the
parishes which has been parti-
cularly successful with their
fairs. The following taken from
the New Orleans Picayune of

and these rains have come just
when their good effects will be-
most appreciated. Where an
adequate rainfall has been had
the excellent outcome of the 1907
crop seems assured. A%ltOgeth-

and encouraging throughout the

WEDNESDAY, JULY II, 1907
THE PROPER STEP TAKEN.


The decision of the delegates
who met here Wednesday to dis
cuss the proposed Abbeville-La-
fayette-Eunice railroad, to or
ganize a local. company, was the
correct move to take as it places
the matter in a tangible shape
for effective work.
With a company organized the
project assumes concrete form
and provides an organization
which can act for the towns in
terested in all measures towards
furthering the building of the
road.
The purpose is to interest the
Rock Island or some other rail
road other than the Southern
Pacific to build the road, and in
order to do this certain facts and
data must be collected and pre-
pared for presentation to the
railroad officials solicited to un-
dertake the work.
1t is self evident that to inter-
est capital a showing must be
made either Of an immediate or
prospective return upon the
money invested, and it is, there
fore, a useless waste of time to
approach capitalists unless pre-.
pared with facts and figures to
demonstrate wherein the invest
ment asked of them will yield a
fair return. Capitalists are all
from Missouri"-they have to
be shown.
For which reason it is neces-
sary for the towns interested to
60 to the officials of the Rock
Island or any other road pre-.
pared to answer questions and
give facts iustifying undertaking
the building of the proposed
railroad.
And to be in a position to do
this, it was thought best to or
ganize a local company as being
the most feasible and practical
way of securing all facts that
might be needed, while at the
same time providing a response
BILE body to negotiate with the
railroad officials whom it is de-
sired to interest.
And to this end the first step
will necessarily be a preliminary
survey to ascertain the probable
cost together with the estimated
tonnage of the contemplated
road. To do this will require a
certain amount of funds, which
it is proposed to raise by selling
stock in the company. The
shares have been placed at
twenty-five dollars, so as to per-
NIT as many people to assist in
the undertaking as possible.
The proposed railroad is an
urgent necessity. This section
not alone needs a competitive
railroad, but also a direct line to
northern markets. We have a
country bountifully endowed by
nature for diversified farming
and with a direct northern con.
nection and cheaper freight rates
the earning capacity of the lands
here will be greatly increased,
thus yielding a large return for
the money invested in securing
the proposed road.
Considering the many advant-
ages to accrue to all the towns
and the country interested in the
construction of the proposed
road there should be no difficulty
in selling sufficient stock to pro-
vide funds for whatever prelimi
nary work may be found neces-

Hardmuth's fingers relax. The pistol falls to the floor. He steps back in amazement I'd like to know how in - you did that" he blurts.
 This situation. in which is concen- trated the whole metaphysical under current of the drama, supplies the cli- max of the story. It is vivid; but. even accepting the milder forms of Mir Thomas thesis, it is so improbable that it mars the veracity of the play. Yet the audience has been prepared for it by system of logical reasoning and demonstration, and for that req son it is not without intense interest. nor does it fail of its purpose in the plays general upbuilding.
 A peculiar reversal of feeling and action occurs in the last act. when Hardmuth is assisted to escape arrest by Brookfield. The reason is this: The gambler believed that he himself was responsible for the murder of the governor elect. because he violently hated the governor elect and fervently had wished that he would meet death in the manner in which he finally was killed Brookfeld believed that his murderous wish end thought had been communicated involuntsrily to other brains from his own and that the psychic influence of his thought guild ed the people who murdered the gov ernor elect Therefore. his conscience told him. he was morally as guilty as any one involved.

Didn't Please the Critic.

When Verdi was putting the last touches to "Il TDvatore" he was wis ited in his study by a privileged friend. The friend was one of the ablest living musicians and critics. He was permit ted to look at the score and run over the "anvil chorus' on the pianoforte What do you think of that?" asked the master. Trash" said the con- noisseur. Verdi rubbed his hands and chuckled, "Now. look at this and this,' he said. "Rubbish"' said the other rolling cigarette. The composer rose and embraced him with a burst of joy. What do you mean?" asked the critic. "My dear friend" cried Verdi. "I have been making a popular opera. In 1t resolved to please everybody except the purists, the great judges, the clas- sicists, like you. Had I pleased you l should have pleased no one else. What you say assures me of success. In three months II Trovatore' will be sung and roared and whisted and bar rel organed all over Italy."-Philadel- phia Inquirer.

THE PIANOS SOUL.
1t Is lmparted to the Instrument by

It Is lnparted to the Instrument by
 tho Scale"
 Every piano factory" said piano manufactu employs what we pi- ano men call scale It would be too long for me to explain to you all about it, but in piano making the scale is the man who after all else has been done imparts to the piano it's soul.
 "I cannot tell you how they do it.. They do not know themselves, and no man can teach another. It is born, like all art. The scales are very few and hard to get, and we pay them hand some wages. But they are as difficult to manage as the great tenors of grand opera and as sensitive as women. Like all artists, they are forever squabbllng among themselves about little things, and, as you may guess, jealousy is their besetting evil.
 But I have not yet explained what the scale does. When piano is all strung and tuned and ready to leave the factory, the scale sits down to it all alone and screws 1t to pitch. His ear is so true, his hand so fine and his sense of the reasons for sound is so delicate and exquisite that when he has finished his work that which was a mere box containing strings has be- come voice that can sing if you know how to make it sing. The scale has given it soul-a part of his own York World

ries. They leave Ireland in good health and go to American towns, where they soon become victims of consumption.
 Dr. OMeara mentions it as curious fact that in America, as in Ireland, the Celtic race seems to be subject to con sumption. The incidence is greater among the Celtic race in America than among other races. It is the more in fectious class of tuberculosis that is brought back by returned emigrants.
 I've are" added the witness, grad ually finding that a lot of those ideas we used to regard as superstitious have a good foundation fin fact.
 Girls Have Neurosis.
 Another kind of disease that re- turned emigrants suffer from is form of neuross. Most of the young women who go to America suffer from nerv ous strain and frequently come back bordering on insanity. They are all nerves; they are not actually insane. but they are in a perpetually excited cOndition.'
 Replying to one of the commission CTS. Dr. O'NIeara expressed the opin- ion that the high death rate from tu- berculosis in Ireand-namely. P per 10000 of the population-is caused by the weakening of the health of the people generally, debility arising from emigration and defective dietary; by the defective housing of the people: the defective sanitation of the country generally and by the return of con sumptives from America. who increase the death rate by their own deaths and by infecting and causing the deaths of others.
