Scene az q Paris Theatre.

There was remarkable scene last
night at the notorious Moulin Rouge
in Paris when the Marquise de MOrny,
daughter of the famous Duke de Morny
and niece OF Napoleon ILL.,, made her
debut in an act called "a Dream of
Egypt" written by herself in collobora-
ton with Nine. GauthieI-Nillars, the
author of "Claudine" and other decadent
novels.
The Marquise, who is the divorced
wife of the Marquis de Belbeuf, has al
already achieved an unenviable reputa-
ton, and her herslded appearance on the
stage brought out storm Of criticism.
A number of fclubmen and BoDapartists
got together and went to the Moulin
Rouge last night, where they conducted
s demonstration the like of which seldom
has been witnessed in Paris. For 10 full
minutes the curtain could not be raised
on the new act owing TO the pandemo-
mum from galleries and boxes.
When it finally went up, disclosing
the Marquise working out cryptogram
of the charm of life, after the fashion OF
Galatea and beautiful Egyptian mum
my in the personIof Nine. Willy, the din
was redoubled. This was followed by a
rain of missiles of every description, the
audience even throwing hsssocks and
boxes at the women on the stage. 10
spite of this vOcferous demonstration the
two women persisted in completing their
act, which is as disgustingly indecent as
anything ever seen on the Parisian stage.
When the curtain was rung down the
crowd rushed toward the box occupied
by Nine. Gauthier- Villsrs and Mile. Po-
lsire, who is starring in stage adapta'
ton of ''Claudine," and literally drove
| Them from the lheater.

LOUISIANA POLITICS.

Monroe Star: The game of Louisiana
politics is an interesting study. Al
ready the State campaign, just opening
up, is developing some interesting and
significant phases. In one campaign a
man may be strenuous supporter of
one individual, and year or so later
he may pose as the high priest in the OPP
position camp The fact of the matter
is, men care very little about how they
lined up IN any previous campaign. It
has somewhat the same aspect as a last
years bird nest The lineup in these
days has come to be only means to an
end, and that end is an Office, This IS
not rneant ia any harsh manner Rather,
such spirit is to be commended. Men
who support d certain candidate in one
campaign are not in honor or duty
bound to support the same gentleman in
another campaign. They may see in
other candidates qualities they admire
and advocate not to be found in their
FIRST love. Such is the game of politics.

coMpuL sorry MARRIAGE.

Every now and then some unre-
strained idiot rushes into print urging
that bachelors be compelled to assume
the matrimonial state, under penalty
provided by law In some towns of the
West ordinances have been enacted to
reach the unmarried. 1t is alleged that
that such ordinances have been suggest
ed and advised by marriagbles of the
fair sex which may be accepted with Sc
Nous question of doubt The hottest tie
KIsowu to nan is. being sufficiently dis
credited without being made odious by
any attempt in the direction of compui-
sorry marriage. Few if any good women
would accept man forced upon her by
law. If the bachelor will insist ON en-
joying what he may assume is single
blessedness, let him indulge his delu-
sion without restraint

HON. EARL BREWSTER.

Monroe Star: Hon. Earl Brewster is
candidate for Governor of the great
State of Mississippi, and holds decided
and proniunced views on many public
questions, and is not afraid to express
them. In speech at Enterprise last
Friday. among other things, he said he
regarded bucketshops the most danger
GUS and corrupting influence now ope-
rating within the borders of the State,
declaring they teach the rising young
generation how to gamble, and that, too,
the neanest character of gambling
gambling in the sweat and face Of every
honest, toiling Mississippian. He said
that nine out of ten failures by mer-
chants and white men and boys who
have gone wrong and been sent TO the
penitentiary can trace their downfall to
the bucket shop and gambling in cotton
futures.

Accuse Street Car Official Of Sending

ment:
"We would ask Mr.. Calhoun one re-
quest and that is to cooperate with
US in keeping the peace of this city.
We are law-abiding citizens and we
want no trouble Therefore, we wonld
ask Mr.. Calhoun to stop turning his
barns into fortresses and exhibiting
armed men on the streets. Nobody is
going to attack the barns and all his
display of force serves to draw crowds
which no power on earth can keep
from becoming unruly.
"Only Tuesday afternoon Mr.. Cal
houn, you started five Of your cars
through the public thoroughfares OF
San Francisco manned by armed thugs
and ruffians who fired right and left
at citizens on the streets without cause
or provocation, and not only were they
shooting from the cars, but they were
stationed ON the roof OF the stockade
shooting through the fence at inof
fensive citizens on the streets.
"You speak of the members Of the
Garments union as being lawless strik-
esr, but now we ask the public who
are the lawless-the carmen of San
Francisco or Mr. Calhoun and his
thugs?
"The union has advised and ordered
its members to preserve peace and
order, but Mr.. Calhoun sends out his
armed thugs and blacklegs and orders
them to shoot right and left regardless
Of whom they kill or MAIN. One In
spector of the United Railroads boasts
of emptying his revolver through the
fence and as result of these reckless
and unlawful acts twelve persons have
been shot down like dogs. Mr.. Cal
houn is responsible for these unlawful
acts.
He has secured the eastern cities
for thugs, b1acklegs and criminals. He
has brought them here and turned
them loose on the unoffending public
Of San Francisco and unlawful and
criminal shooting is the result.
In the name Of peace and common
sense, Mr.. Calhoun, withdraw your
gunfighters and do not continue to
provoke riot In our streets"

RED RIVER NAVIGATION.

The importance of navigation can not
be over-estimated, especially since it has
been demonstrated practically that the
railroads can not give the necessary ia
cilities for commercial traffic, which is
steadily on the increase. For years
Shreveport has relied on the railroads
to the exclusion of steamboats,, and
therefore much trade has been diverted
to other points which should be directed
here. 1t is true that at stages of the
river navigation has been precarious,
but with the Improvement of the river
these disadvantages can be remoed by
a systems of locks which would COM
mand the requisite appropriation by the
goernment In this system of water
ways the entire valley of Red river from
its source to the Mississippi river is
directly concerned, and the most intel
ligent efforts should be directed to this
end. For instance, in the North and
Northwest the interior courses, canals
and waterways receive special attention
regardless of the network of railroads
in these States. In the improvement OF
Red river, the upper and the lower,
there is being aroused an interest which
will become irresistible for the better
ment of this all-important waterway in
the development of agriculture and
commercial progress.
