LAFAYETTE SHOULD HAVE
NEW NORMAL SCHOOL.

One of the things the next
Legislature is expected to do, is
to establish a second normal
college to be located in the south
ern part of the State.
Should they establish this
school, and it seems pretty GER
tain they will, it is a matter OF
great Importance to the people OF
Lafayette that the school be To-
Gated in this city.
We believe that should the
school go elsewhere, and we un'
derstand that Opelousas is pre-
pared to make a strong bid for
it, it will undoubtedly affect the
Industrial Institute unfavOrably
in that offering an academic
course it will be a competitor for
patronage in this section. and
because the State having to sup
port the two schools the appro-
priation for each will necessarily
be proportiOnately less effective
than the amount would be com
bined. Besides it is reasonable
to suppose that the amount avail
able for the Institute will be less
than should the Normal not be
established.
Should the Normal be estab-
lished in connection with the In
stitute it will benefit both schools
and they can be maintained TO-
gether at a considerably less ex'
pense than. separately, which
will count greatly in our favor
when the time comes for a decis-
ion in the matter.
Lafayette should have the
school if it is established. and we
should see to it that. disadvantages
of it's location here are effectively
placed before the members OF
the Legislature.
And in choosing our represen
tatiyes in tl,e Legislature WI
should bear in mind their ability
tn present the claims of this city
for the location of the Normal.

Of late some fears of drought
have been expressed. Some
planters have done some cane
field irrigation, but just as prep
arations we're completed, the
Summer showers that have been
falling about, have now cover
ed the fields left dry and the
cane crops prospects are every
where pronounced excellent, and
we can only say that we wish the
hopes of our sanguine cOrrespOn-
dents may be realized 10 the full

best and if August comes true
to it's record of hot and humid
we shall certainly make a large

MODEL MINING TOWN.
Coleraine, Mich, Realization Of "Cap-
tain Jack" Greenway's Dream.

II
IRONWOOD, Mich, August 1.-THE
model town Of the world, for a mining
range city. is that laid out for Coleraine.
near the new Conisteo mine. which will
be the biggest iron mine known. when the
millions Of dollars already expended have
made actual production possible. The
town of Coleraine is the dream of Capt
Jack" Greenway. formerly of Pittsburg, a
former Rough Rider who, though now only
thirty years of age, is general superin-
tendent for the steel corporation.
Greenway, after going to Yale. decided
to learn the iron business from the ground
up. He went into a shop at Ptttsburg.
learned the business quickly. and rose to
a high position before resigning to fight
in Cuba under Roosevelt. The war over
he came west for the steel trust, and now
is trying to win to his district the best
men to be found, and the making of
model town is to win these men by the at
tractiveness of the new home.
Colerane will have all it's streets of
macadam. already has electric light, sewer
and water works, constructed at cost Of
nearly a million dollars, and by Christmas
will have it's eighth church. Model dormi-
tories are provided for the workmen, and
without regard to expense. The one saloon
of Colerane Is model barroom. where no
liquors sold to women or minors. and
where the drinks must conform to the pure
food laws No questionable resorts
allowed in the city. The buildings devoted
to business places are equally model Struc-
lures.

Lincoln's Guard Was Absent.

WIN. II. McCook in Harpers.
I have often wondered why the negligence
of the guard who accompanied the Pres
dent to the theater on the night of the 1lth
has never been divulged. So far as l know,
it was never even investigated by the police
department. Yet. had he done his duty,
believe President Lincoln might not have
been murdered by Booth. The man was
John Parker. He was a native of the Dis
tr,ct. and had volunteered, as I believe each
of the other guards had done, in response
to the Presidents first call for troops from
the District. He is dead now and. as far as
| have been able to discover. all Of his fam
ily. So 1t Is no unkindness to speak of the
costly mistake he made.
1t was the custom for the guard who ac-
companied the President to the theater to
remain in the little passageway outside the
box-that passaseway through which Booth
entered Mr.. buckingham. who was the
doorkeeper at Ford's Theater. remembers
that a chair was placed there for the guard
on the evening Of the 14th. Whether Par
ker occupied 1t at all l do not know-Mr
Buckingham is Of the impression that he
did If he did. he left it almost immedi-
ately: for he confessed to me the next day
that he went to seat at the front Of the
first gallery that he could see the play.
The door of the Presidents box was Shut
probably Mr.. Lincoln never knew that the
guard had left his post.
Mr. Buckingham tells that Booth was In
and out OF the house five times before he
finally shot the President. Each time he
looked about the theater in a restless, ex-
cited manner. l think there can be no
doubt that he was studying the scene of his
intended crime, and that he observed that
Parker whom he must have been watching,
was not at his post. To me it is very prob
able that the fact that there one on
guard may have determined the time Of his
attack. Booth had found 1t necessary to
stimulate himself with whisky In order to
reach the proper pitch of fanaticism. Had
he found man at the door of the Pres
idents box armed with Colts revolver,
his alcoh,l courage might have evaporated.

LIMITATION OF ARMAMENTs.
Resolution on Subject Confirmed by
The Hague Tribunal.

THE HAGUE, August 17--At the plenary
sitting of the peace conference today a
resolution proposed by Sir Edward Fry
Britsh) was adopted unanimously, as
follows:
This conference confirms the resolution
adopted by the conference of 1899 regard
Ing the limitation of military burdens. and
as military burdens have been considerably
augmented in almost all countries since
1899 1t declares 1t Is highly desirable to see
the governments earnestly resume the
study of this question:
The session was opened at 3 O'Clock by
President Neldofr. After the minutes OF
the previous session had been read and
approved the amendments OF the conven-
ton Of 1859 regarding the laws and Gus
toms Of land war and the prohibition OF
throwing of explosives from balloons re-
ported by Gen. Baron Arthur Giesl Won
Gieslingen (Austria Hungary. were read
and unanimously adopted. as was the con-
vention regarding the bombardment Of un-
defended towns. etc.
The conference gave close attention while
Sir Edward Fry. head Of the British dele
CATION, delivered his speech on the subject
of the manner in which armaments had
called that the Emperor of Russia In con-
voking the first peace conference. had
principally in view putting stop to the
augmentation of ornaments, and the solu-
ton of this question, Sir Edward added,
had become more and more urgent in view
Of the manner In which armament had
been extended, and referred to the military
expenditures of various nations and said
that the British government. recognizing
that the several powers desired to restrict
their military expenses, was ready to COM
municate once a year to those powers in
clined to do likewise its projects for the
construction Of new warships. as well as
the expe nses implied thereby, believing that
this exchange OF views would facilitate the
exchange of views between the govern
ments concerned regarding the reduction of
