THE CLIFTON HOTEL.

This hostelry, under the management
of Mrs. Remy Klock, of New Orleans,
assisted by her sister, Mrs. J. A.
O'Neal and daughter, Mrs. Edward
Schwartz, both of New Orleans, has en-
joyed an unusual amount of patronage
and, although densely crowded during
the entire season, has furnished the best
of accommodations to the one hundred
and fifty one guests that have registered
there for the season.
Mrs. Klock has especially endeared
herself to the tradespeople of the Bay,
having purchased the bulk of her gro
ceries and commodities here and for the
most part havlls employed her servants
from this place.
The season, so far as the present man
agement is concerned, will terminate
with the ending of October, Mrs, Klock g
lease expiring at that time.
The L. & N. Railroad is again dod g.
ing the law, this time in the neighbo or
ing state of Alabama, where, with a
well copied subterfuge, they are endeav-
oring to rebate passengers with half a
cent a mile coupon attached to every
ticket they sell. This same plan was
tried in North Carolina a few months
ago, when Governor Glenn took matters
in his hand had an agent arrested ,or
violating the constit"',ed ed laws of the
s'a'', and the railroad tried to throw
| the case in the Federal court, resulting
in Governor Glenn having President
Finlay arrested, on which the attorneys
of the Southern decided to conform witt
the law. The railroads have mad theil
time long enough and with Shakespeare
we quote 'sThe cat will NEW the dog Will
have his day."

A LYCEUM COURSE,

The Echo extends cordial invitation
to all who are interested in furtherin"
intellectul life in the I,ay D. to meet at the
oott..cce OF the Echo on next Wednesday
night at 8 o'clock, to devise ways and
means for establishing permanent
lyceum course in the Bay, on the coop .
erative plan. Wherever chautauquas
or lyceums have been established for
years, there is noticeable an intellectual
growth and culture that is very percep-
tible and CHARACTERISTIC. I4yeeam courses
as private enterprises will not pay so
we'll for the element of profit must ne
cessarily enter therin, but we are sure if
all the people Of the Bay that love in
tellectual life will interest thems elves in
this affair we will have many pleasant
evening together during the winter and
great intellectual as we'll as aesthetic
results will ensue. Fill the mind with
noble thoughts emenating from the ros-
trum, the forum, the pulpit and then
we viii not hive SO many kickers, knock
ers and soreheads in our community.

INDUSTRIAL BAY ST. LOUIS.

A news item in the Washington Post
of a recent date conveys the intelligence
that a resolution had been passed by
the G. A. r. that is meeting in that
CITY that they are going to build large
home on the Gulf of Mexico Tor the
remnant of the old soldiers. Right
away some old Reb is going to say that
we don't want them close to US, and II
we want business to prosper in these
parts, the Commercial Club ought to
rise from its grave and get to work and
get in correspondence with these peo-
ple and secure the camp. We confess
that we would not be harmed by the
soiourn of the old Union soldiers among
us. but would not be benefited in a
commercial way. The suggestion IS
thrown oub any rate to the real estate
agents that there is a possibility OF
their selling the site to the q. A. II. for
such home.
The idea obtains very generally here
that we can do nothing in an Industrial
or commercial way-that we. are to SIT
down and live in manner off OF the
boarders that come here or else on the
summer or winter tourists. These are
splendid ways Of making lvl1hood
and ought to be encouraged more than
and great hotels ought to be erected
and fitted up for winter and summer
guests galore, but those who are soil
experts say that Bay ST. Louis and Vi
cinitv has the best trucking soil found
anywhere in the south, and that with
irrigation, easy to obtain, would covert
our gallherry flats and lohlolly pine
areas into vertible Hesperia.
The initiative ought to be taken by
some one, immigration agent of opl
railroads or private persons, to promul'
gate literature setting forth thd china tit
and soil conditions of ourvicinity. The
Commercial Club did good work during
its life, but did little in advertising tht
Bav. Another club of enthusiastic mel
ought to be formed for this purpose, Of
else we will sink back into the dol ce Ia
niiente that has always chai, ,cterised tn

turned away and that twenty-five from
the Bay were anxious to enter there,
and we are told that the city board OF
Pass Christian seriously offered to let
the pupils attend there. When the
matter was investigated by the school
authorities here and the mother and
daughter we're seen together, the mother
refused to believe that her daughter had
ever made such statements, although
we had the word of the entire faculty of
the Pass Christian School therefor. The
consequence of this was that all the
family refused to patronize the Bay
schools again, and all on accoant of an
untruth told about the teacher. Th, !,
principal and teachers OF the schools
are generally the target for all the gos-
sips to practice on, or else the scape-
goat, turned loose in the wilderness to
bear the sins of the community. The
school teacher occupies the highest po-
sition, however, in the community; for
he, during six hours out OF daylight,
for seventeen years, or less, of their
lives shapes the destiny OF the children.
and this accounts for the oft asked
question: Why are Mr.. and Mrs. KS
children 80 much better than they;
what an improvement they are on their
father or mother. We do not see how
such parents can have such model chill
dren.
Dean Swift, on one occasion VIII en-
King George entered the school room
while on royal chase, refused to get
up, pull off his hat and make obeisance
to his royal majesty. The little schol-
ars were bowing and scraplng all over
the room. One asked, after his majesty
departed: "Oh, Domino, why did you
not take off your hat and bow and scrape
at his terrible majesty ?" Swift replied:
"The school teacher is as great man
as any king and has 40 occasion to take
off his hat to any man"

GENERAL ALLAN THOMAS BUYS lsTRouMA.

Recently ''Istrouma", beautiful
villa in Wayeland, formerly owned by
Mr.. Michel, was purchased as the per-
manent home of General Allen Thomas.
This villa receives its name from the
Choctaw language, meaning tired stick" ,
and is just on this side of "Sans Souci",
the home of Mr.. John T. Nix. This
beautiful piece of property occupying
possibly one of the prettiest sites in
Waveland, will be very much improved
under the new owner and will become
prominent as the home of one of the
bravest soldiers and leaders that wore
the gray.
General Thomas was born in Mary :
land in the thirties and comes from pa
trician stock on maternal and paternal
sides, his ancestors antedating and also
participating in the Revolutionary War.
General Thomas, before the Civil War ,
moved to Louisiana. He was gradu :
ate of Princeton; after moving South,
he married into the Bringer family, one
of the oldest Creole families in Lou ISL
ana. General Thomas saw service in
the Civil War at Vieksburg, under
Pemberton, and was there until the sur
render of that "heroic city,.
He saw valiant service all during the
Civil War and was among the last to
surrender. After the war, Gene raj
Thomas filled many civic offices, refuse d
the nomination to Congress, was twice
presidential elector, once for Hancock,
and once for Greely. He now comes
to our beautiful coast, having round ed
out useful life, to enjoy the gorge Gus
sunrises and the tranquil sunsets and
the ever changing, shifting of the pano :
rama of the most beautiful waters OF
the world.
