1t is only week ago that
M essrs. DeBlanc and Landry
lost a pair of horses and mule
in way that seemed strange
and when Mr.. w. g. Disch of
the Cypress store bad two
horses to die within a few min
utes of each other last evening,
it was feared that there might
be some strange horse disease
IN this vicinity. 1t has been
found, however, that this is not
the case but that the horses
died through eating some poi
sonous matter in the forage.
When Mr.. Disch's animals
died he sent for DR.. Lewis, We
terinary of Franklin, and that
gentleman came here this morn
ing and made the examination
OF the animals in connection
with Mr.. James Giblin. DIR.
Lewis found that there was no
disease apparent as was feared
but the indications were that
the horses had eaten of some
poisonous article in their forage,
probably some plant.
Mr.. +. J. Viator who lives at
No. 9IS iberia Street lost his

cry when his hand was caught

badly that Drs. King and Cars
tens who were called in had 70
amputate it Just above the wrist.
The young man was an indus
trious worker and the accident
is particularly severe on him.
Now that the eanerette Fair
is over the next one hereabouts

IN THE STORES

THE PA--AIS ROYAL announces a sale
for housekeepers, and presents a page filled
with a list of the seasons needs. This
page combines a very complete catalogue
and price list. and chould prove an in
structive guide. 1t answers tbs questions
of how best to subdue moths, prevent the
appearance of worse insects, how to clean
house most effectively and economically.
The problem of the refrigerator ice
chest, tic water cooler I'D ice cream
freezer is made easy to solve. The subject
of Il gas range is grappled intellgently,
an important subject now that. fires are to
prove discomfort and expense.
The question of Summer furniture takes
one to the fourth floor. Bamboo and mis-
sion pieces are the features for indoors
and willow for the porch and garden. Here
too, are screens for windows and doors
canopies for the bed, summer draperies for
the windows and covers for the furniture
Linen sheets and pillow cases are deli
ciously cool for summer and will
no be so expensive if the second floor list
is consulted. The lightweight bedspread,
the heavy bath towels, the table linen-ev-
erything known as housekeeping goods are
mentioned and not a few extra good values
pointed to-.
Art needlewo1k enters into the making of
many beautiful cushion covers and other
attractive pieces for the home, and this
subjec. is important feature of todays
Palais Royal page. 1t will be noticed that
til, materials for summer hats, parasols
waists and undergarments are furnished
here, with the necessary floss for the en-
broidery work. Each article is neatly in

SHOES Fer EVERYBODY.
Edmonston & Co. Donate Case of Shoes
to the Masonic Fair.

1t is presumed that every one who has
visited the Masonic fair has seen the case
of shoes donated by Edmonston G Co. of
1884 F street. These shoes are regarded
as of the finest examples of high grade
footwear. There are fifty pairs in the
case and every age is provided for-shoes
for the baby, shoes for the young girl, shoes
for the boy and shoes for the mother,
father, grandmother and grandfather, being
included. The exhibit as it appears at the
Masonic fair is well worth viewing.
These shoes, it is claimed, are examples
of the cleverest shoe-making skill in this
country. They have been uenateI through
such manufacturers as the Stacy Adams
Company, Jas. Craemer and Sons S. E.
Pierce & Co., Howard e Foster L. NJ
Wise, CroXton. Wood & Co., Excelsior Shoe
Company, Milton Phillips, Lownbury,
Mathewson Co.
Those fortunate enough to obtain al or

LABOR AND FIRST OF MAY
PRESIDENT OF A. F. OF L. DIS
CUssEs CONDITIONS.
Ccmmotion Not as Probable Here as
in Europe-Firm Stand
for Rights.

In a statement made last night President
Gompers of the American Federation of
Labor said he fails to see any signs of dis
turbance in the industrial situation
The list of Nay does not mean so much
to labor In this country as in Europe he
said in discussing the outlook True" he
continued, there is litte more activity in
labor circles in the spring than in other
seasons. lut that is natural and is due to
well-known causes. This spring is not diff
ferent from other springs. and the first of
May conveys no more threat than the first
of any other month The only movement
We notice especially is in the growth of
unionsm and the steady demand for better
condit:ons-ror more sustenance for the
wage-earner. There is great activity in that
direction, as is shown by the fact that nc
fewer than 100000 names have been added
to our roll within the TaSt six monthS-a
growth of about per cent. Not only is
our number growing, but our people are
generally employed, and. better still, EN-
ployed at fair wages and with good pros
pect of being so continued. i see nothing tC
! be alarmed about"
do you hear any confirmation of the
| reports that legislation in the western
states is causing a cessation of railroad

emphatic.
1t is on a par with the recent Wal

standing there has never been more pro

experienced during the excitement of q
few weeks since. there was no reduction o
| the wages of railway employees and no eff

! How do I account for that? 1t was due

! But for that attitude cut would have

II think it is now pretty generally under
