Views OF The Southland by Rev. j. W.
Lively.

|
What is now known as the State OF
Louisiana, is unique section in our
| Southland. 1t is the center OF the
whole, and the keystone in the great
archway circling the gulf coast. This
coastway is for some 600 miles, in
GLIDING indentures and assures, in
GLIDING too, six or eight of the finest
ports and harbors in all the shore
Way of the deep blue Mexican sea.
Through Louisiana passes the water
of one-haf of the Republic. The
Mississippi is hers, moving like males-
ty, and besides she has twenty-one
navigable streams. Recent govern
ment surveys locate in Louisiana the
best virgin forestry in the Union. She
has the rice belt of the continent. Gu
ba is her only rival in sugar. She
has the greatest oil and gas fields in
the south, the greatest sulphur mine
in America. Her salt mines can supply
the world for ages. She is the center
of the great cotton belt, and has the
greatest cotton market in the world,
the city of New Orleans, also the me-
tropolis of the south, which for 2Ol
wears has set on that beautiful and
graceful crescent, 100 miles from the
sea.
Aside, too, from all this, we may
state that in Louisiana in 1904, more
miles of railway were laid than in any
state in the union. Within the last
year All miles have been under con.
struction, for at this time in Louis
lana, thirteen lines of new railway
are building. All this is but the dawn
of new daybreak in the south; it is
but the cleaning through the gloam-
| ing of an industrial and commercial
empire which shall eclipse anything
anywhere in all the Southland.
The political history of Louisiana,
too, is as unique as her territorial
limitations. 1t is "sui generis. u
There is nothing like it under the sun.
1t reads like romance, as the fitting
forms of ghosts and hobgoblins dance
about every corner, and the weired
wizards of the long ago Turk around
the whole of this historic soil.
Louisiana has been the land of tur.
MOL and fermentation, of intrigue, Sc
dition, secession and rebellion. Be-
ginning with that night when tha
heartless Irishman, O'Reiley, slipped

NEGRO FIENDs AT WORK.

CHICAGO. April --(SpeciaD -
Thursday night three dastardly
crimes weer committed in as many
different states by negroes. Miss Vio-
let Spencer, a beautiful, young wo-
man of Alton, Ills, was attacked on
the street and fatally injured by n
black brute. A possee was organized
but the fiend was not run down.
While trying to arrest a number of
negro criminals at Big Springs, Tex,
Deputy Marshal Burke was murdered
by a negro. Immediately following
the tragedy the citizens held a mass
meeting and ordered that all negroes
In the town not owning property must
leave town at once and that all ne
groes holding property must sell out
and be out of town within fifteen
days. The negroes are obeying this
order. There have been numerous
crimes committed by negroes in that
locally and the white people have
determined to put stop to the work.
At Pittsburg, Kansas. a number of
negroes tried to mob and lynch man
charged with train robbing, who had
killed a negro. The mob was repuls-
ed but not until one white man had
been seriously hurt and a negro
killed.

CORNISH TREASURE TRovE.

MT. De Castro Glubb coroner, held, aa inquest at Liskeard Guildhall the other day on thirty-one gold coins, found buried in Trembraze farmvard near the town, The coroner stated that no similar inquiry had been held in Cornwall for at least one hundred years.
 If the jury found that the coins were treasure trove. he said,' they would be claimed by the duchy of Cornwall, who no doubt, would deal generously with the ander, as was the practice of the crown. James Croker Govett, son of the owner of the farm, described how he found the coins while cleaning the farmyard.
 His mothers family, he said, had oW ned the farm for many years. and he produced a document dated July B, 1745, relating to the finding of fifty five and one-half guineas in the floor of the barn bv John Croker and Doro- th-. his wife. MT. Volk. ieweller of Liskeard, said many of the coins were rare. Eight were Portuguese milreis dated 1882 to 1725. The remainder were English, the most ancient being three gold units. or POS pieces. ot James I. and Charles l., while the rest were guinea pieces dating from 1880 tc TIPS,

FOOT AMERICAN ACTORS. ENGLISH DIsAPPRoVE
Don't Like Portrayal of Henry VIII. by Southern
 and Marlowe.

London, May 13.-Julia Marlowe and E. H. Southern had their baptism Of fire tonight when they were called be- fore the curtain of the theater where they are playing and were hooted and "booed."
 The British audience resented their realistic portrayal of Henry VIII in an American play. It was the first pre- sentation of When Knighthood was in Flower" All went well until the last act The house was well filled with reasonably enthusiastic au- dence. King Henry appears in the last act as jovial but undignified monarch. The part was only slightly exaggerated from the historical tra- dition, but the gallery gods did not know that, and manifested some dis approval during the act. After the curtain went down the two visiting stars were called out and "booed'' lus- tily by the galley, while the better part of the audience applauded.
 This was the first time either actor bad been subjected to an experience of this sort during their stage careers. Miss Marlowe smiled sweetly, how ever, and neither was rufled.
 London audiences frequently treat their greatest favories in this manner when they are displeased with the play or the players, but usually they are more considerate toward visitors.

JURY COMING HARD. ONLY ONE QUALITIES Many Excuses to Escape Sitting in Haywood
 Trial.

Boise, Idaho, May 13.-Only a frag- ment of to-day was given over to actual work in the trial of William D. Haywood for complicity in the murder of former Governor Seunenberg, and the one step forward was the qualifi- cation of d singe talesman, who seems marked for peremtory challenge later. The rest of the time went to the tales men of the special venire and the reasons that made it impossible for them to serve the state at this time.
 Judge Wood called tho case at ? o'clock and at once gave attention to the 100 men summoned by Sherig Hod- gin in the special venire issued Thurs day last. The court asked those who had special excuses eo offer to come forward, and up surged S5 men. They swarmed around the clerks desk and choked up the approach to the bench.
 Seven of them were sick and five others had sick wives. Some present. ed crisp certificates from doctors, others offered quaking bodies as visual evidence, and the rest pleaded earnest ly. Then there were ditch riders, who must ride hard and constantly these days in this land of irrigation, where water is a community concern.
 Next there was a batch of federal grand jurors who are under call to meet on June 15, date that will sure- ly conflict with this trial and after them trooped little column of coun- ty officers, great and small Then there were administrators of estates with heirs who may suffer by their en- forced absence, and two bankers who must watch and count the coin in na- tional banks. Tn age they ranged from grayhaired old chaps, auiyering under their years, to husky youngsters in early citizenship and in appearance from the weather marked farmer to the well dressed, comfortable burgher.

MIDSHIPNEN RESTRICTED.

Annapolis, Md, May 13.-The whole membership of the first battalion of the brigade and midshipman has been re- stricted for an indefinite period to the confines of the institution as a result of its members having given the sl- fence" to Lieutenant Commander c. B, McVay, jr., one of the discipline off cers. The members of the battalion have taken exception to McVay's mode of Investigating their actions and de- termined to administer this form of re- buke to him. The silence" is as old as the navy itself It is in the nature of boycott. At the time agreed for its application those participating in it keep absolutely silent during the whole of some meal at which the off, cec is present In the midshipmens mess hall. Ordinarily this dining room at meal time is very noisy place and si- lerce when the 800 midshipmen are as sen bled there is decidedly noticeable
 When 1t was directed against Lieuten- ant Commander McVay that officer withheld the order for the first battal- ion to leave the room at the end of the meal after having dismissed the sec- ond battalion. He sat quietly at the table for nearly two hours attempting by this means to force the remaining midshipmen to break their silence but without effect Eventually he dismiss ed them and reported the matter to the conmandant. As all the members of the first battalion participated all were punished for disrespect to an officer.

MENGEL MAKES RECORD.
Does Mile in 23 Minutes, 2s Seconds in
 Yale Tank.

Charles Mengel, the recently elected captain of next years Yale swimming team, made a new record for himself in the mile yesterday afternoon, at the Yale tank. He succeeded in reducing his former record of 25 minutes and If seconds to 23 minutes and 2S seconds Max Schwartz, the Yale swimming in- struetor held the watch on Mengel and he was much pleased with the perform ance. This performance, although un- fflcial, shows the capabilities of Mengel and he is expected to equal it in q standard size tank next year, The record of Daniels, the New York cham pion, for the distance in 2S minutes, S5 seconds.
 The tank at the Yale gym. is fifty feet long, which is twenty-five feet feet shorter than the regulation size tank in which Daniels has made his records. The record therefore has no official significance
