and may not be so easily disloged
New Orleans Item: The sentiment of
the Southern people seems as rule to be
against hanging for the average hanging
offense. Nor is human life held as dear as
it should be.
Alexandria Town Talk: 1t is said that
the jury that tried these murderers of the
Lanana child employ Italian labor, and
that their verdict was qualified to peniten-
tiary for life in order not to antagonize the
Italians in their employ. If this is true
the Lamana jury should be driven out of
the State. Such moral towards are not fit
to live in State composed of majority
of honorable and brave people.
Shreveport Caucasian: Where are the
gentlemen who were mentioned as possible
candidates for the office which "belongs' -
to Mr.. Aswell? Is it possible that in a
democracy freemen, so-called, dare not
assert their independence and must sub
ordinate their ambition because of the
claim that the office belongs to Mr.. Aswell?
By what right? Is it by virtue of possess
sion? Is it about time for change?
Crowley Signal: The verdicto the jury
in the case of the murders of the little
Lamana child is disgrace to the State Of
Louisiana, second only to the actual com
mission of the crime. That jury of twelve
men could be found within the limits OF
the sovereign State Of Louisiana who would
declare these fends guilty without capital
punishment is enough to make every
law-abiding citizen renounce allegiance to
the law and swear fealty to Judge Lynch.

ONE MAN NOT PLEASED.
Orators Compliment to Town Called
Forth Warm Protest.

Two interesting stories are told Of
the late Gen. w. H. l.. Barnes, of Cali
fornia. One concerns campaign
speech that the general made in Red
ding. Being diplomat as well as an
orator, Barnes, who had not been in
Redding for decade or more, sought
to say something flattering about the
towns growth. When he reached the
filling in stage of his speech, he said:
Il want to congratulate the citizens of
Redding on the wonderful progress of
their beautiful city. When was last
here. not many years ago, had to put
up at ramshackle hotel, with poor
accommodations and badly cooked
food. What do find to-day? A mag
nificent caravansary with cuisine
worthy OF a metropolis" The compli-
ment won applause, and after the
meeting was over many of the audi
tors crowded to the platform to shake
hands with the speaker. One old fell
low, with pioneer beard, waited pa
tiently for his turn. When he reached
the general he calmly put his hands
behind him, shook his head angrily
and blurted out: "All want to say
Is that you're white-headed old falsi-
fer. l kept that hotel"
The other story deals with the spe-
cial session of the legislature called
to fill the vacancy caused by the
failure of the solons of 1899 to elect
United States senator. Barnes
wanted the honor, but the compromis-
ers passed him by and picked out
Thomas r. Bard, of Ventura. The
night of Bards' election Gov. Gage was
reused from his bed by caller who
refused to wait until morning. Gage
opened the door and there stood Gen.
Barnes. Governor" said the general
solemnly, you called this session to
fill a vacancy. Instead of filling a va
cancy you have created one" And
then without another word the general
stalked away.

STOMACH ON STRIKE
SUCCESSFUL TONIC TREATMENT
FOR INDIGESTION.
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills Cured This
Woman and Have Cured Many

Common Ailments
Loss Of appetite, coated tongue, bad
taste in the mouth, heavy dull headache
and dull, sluggish feeling these are
the symptoms of stomach trouble. They
indicate that the stomach is on @ strike;
that it is no longer furnishing to the
blood the full quota Of nourishment that
the body demands, hence every organ
suffers.
There are two methods of treatment,
the old one by which the stomach is
humored by the use of predigested foods
and artificial ferments, and the new one
by which the stomach is toned up to do
the work which nature intended of it.
A recent cure by the tonic treatment is
that Of Mrs. Mary Stackpole, of 81
Liberty street, Lowell, Mass. She says,
II suffered constantly for years from
stomach trouble and terrible backaches
and was confined to my bed the greater
part OF three years. was under the
care of our family physician most Of the
time, but did not seem to get better.

and fitful. AS result I lost several
pounds in weight and became very ner-
vous.
II was in wretched condition when
heard about DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

began to gain in weight and health.
was encouraged by this to keep on until
I was cured. My friends and neighbors
often remark what changed woman T
am and I owe it al to DR.. Williams
Pink Pills.
These wonderful pills are useful in a
wide range of diseases such as anfemia,
rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, nervous
headaches, and even locomotor ataxia
and partial paralysis.
The great value of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion of the
body. The stomach is toned up, the
nerves are strengthened, every organ is
stimulated to do its work.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on receipt
of price, 80 cents per box, six boxes for
$3.50, by the DR.. Williams Medicine
Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

clerk employed by life insurance
company in New York, was rescued

With tens of thousands of persons

FREEDOM FOR GIRLS
NEW RULE IN PARIS
"AMERI CANIZATI0N" BRINGING
MARKED CHANGES
Halls Hired for Dances and Many En-
tertanments Lately Forbidden
Are Now Quite the Vogue
in Smart Set

PARIS, July 6.-The "Americaniza-
ton" of Paris society is the subject
of an article in that organ of the aris-
tocracy, LIE Gaulois, this week, and
many instances of the changed condi-
tions are cited.
First of all. there is the relative
emancipation of the unmarried young
woman, who can nowadays, without
outraging respectability, invite young
man to meet her at dance and to call
at her mothers house, where she her
self introduces him to her mother
Such an action was unheard of twenty
years ago.
1t is not yet advisable for young
women to walk out alone in the streets
of Paris. This has been tried by many
society girls, but it is contrary to es-
tablished custom and the results have
not been satisfactory, attractive girls
getting too much attention from toe
gallant Frenchmen.
Another symptom of "Americaniza-
ton" is the present custom of society
hostesses giving dances and entertain
ments, not at their own houses, but
in hired halls. Several halls in Paris
now are especially devoted to this pur-
pose. Hostesses are delighted to be
rid of the worry and inconvenience in
volved by giving balls at private resi-
denceS.

est woman is Miss Emily Charlotte
Talbot, an unmarried woman, but little
known outside her native Wales, where
she owns two magnificent estates. Miss
Talbot inherited from her father all
his real estate in Wales, which is said
to be worth over $7,000,000. She lives
very quietly on her Welsh property,
rarely visiting her London house, and
dispenses charity in splendid manner.
More prominent socially is Miss Alice
de Rothschild, cousin of Lord Roth
schild and heiress to her brother, Baron
Ferdinand. She owns Waddesdon
Manor, the finest of the Rothschild
holdings. She is very charitable and
her great hobby is gardening. AT Wad-
desdon and at Grasse, France, where
she has a villa, her gardens are famous,
seventy gardeners being employed at
Grasse alone Miss Rothschild can
dispose of her brothers fortune ex-
actly as she pleases, but she probably
will leave it to her own family.

RELIGION A FAD IN
THE DANISH SMART SET
Special Gable to The Herald.


LONDON, July 6-The queen of Den
mark will hardly appreciate all the
gay doings got up in London in her
honor for she is royalty devoted
only to good works, and caring less
than nothing for the sinful pride of
worldly affairs. 1 understand 1t causes
real distress to her majesty when she
has to attend a ball. This austerity
in the most exalted circles has brought
about a social revolution in Copenhagen
which, once the most light hearted and
irresponsible of capitals, is now given
over to religious fervor and rigorous
pietistic revival such as once in fifty
years or SO seems to sweep over north
ern Europe. Stendhal, in one of his
stories, describes how one of these re-
ligious storms even reached Paris and
affected certain over sensitive duchess
es in the Fauhorg st. German with
curious results.
One who knows the inside track in
Copenhagen assures me that it is now
the fashion in that once lively city
to give parties at which the guests get
up in turn and confess their sins aloud.
This is a custom which, if introduced
into London, would add considerably
to the piquancy of our present monot-
onous entertainments, and give an in
terest to the season of 1907 which would
atone for Arctic skies and lack of social
enterprise.
