severely criticized by the fans for but

The baseball season has come to a
close in this neck O the woods and no
further games will be played on the
local lot until the spring of 1908. I'm
der the competent direction of Man
ager Ned Leche, the season has been
most successful one in every respect.
The fans have been furnished an ex-
cellent quality of sport and the pa.
tronage has been very liberal, par
ticularly during the past several
weeks. The schedule inaugurated by
the Blues on July 81 and terminated
September 20 was the most interesting
yet attempted by a team representing
Donaldsonville, and the closing game
was far and away the best and fastest
ever Witnessed in this section of the
state. Our boys gave good account
of themselves on all occasions, and
nothing but the glad hand and a warm

j 1.-THE Hand OF Death,n thrilling
melodrama founded on actual facts
connected with the celebrated Lamana
kidnapping and murdrr case, was
presented at the Gondran Theatre last
Saturday night before a small audi

vineing.
On Thursday next, Oct. II, the Ray
mond Teal Musical Comedy Com
pany will hold the boards at the

deville program that is replete with
clever features, amusing situations
and catchy songs. Concerning this

was d decidedly meritorious vaudeville
entertainment that was offered by the
Raymond Teal Musical Comedy Com
pany at Cycle Park theatre last eve
ming to large audience. The work
OF the Orpheus Comedy Four elected
much hearty applause, as did the
brisk dialogue and clever dancing OF
the two Rhens. The choruses lend
vivacity to the big scenes and fill in
some interesting moments ofcombined
personal charm. MIR. Teal in his

Absurdlty Of War Talk.

War in modern times presupposes
some fundamental dispute or antagon-
ism that cannot be dealt with by d.
plomacy or arbitration. Furthermore,
war is usually attended by deep feel
ing on both sides. But it SO happens
that there does not now exist, nor has
there ever existed, any cause of war
whatsoever between Japan and the
United States. Nor is there any war
like feeling toward the United States.
Neither is there any question of inter-
est involved, such as leads nations
sometimes to find pretext for war be
cause of some conquest or acquisition
they desire to make. japan possesses
nothing that we could acquire or could
possibly wish to gain. We, on the
other hand, have nothing that Japan
could hope to gain and hold with ben
eft to herself, as the result even of a
successful campaign. = From "The
Progress Of the World" in the Ameri-
can Review Of Reviews for August.

always ready to accept full response.
bility for his judicial decisions and or
ders. Yet he was as ready to acknowl-
edge any error on his part, and a re-
markable instance Is recorded where
he actually apologized to a litigant
for uncomplimentary illusions made
from the bench. The town Of Hart
well, in Hamilton county, Ohio, be-
came involved in dispute with a rail-
road company. There were writs Of
Injunction and mandamus and other
proceedings sought by the town au-
thorities or the company. The mayor
of Hartwell turned the hose on work
men who tried to lay rails at night.
When one aspect of the case was
brought before Judge Taft he took oc.
casion to criticise the mayor severely.
The mayor, willing to be made vic
tim of the courts power to punish for
contempt, wrote a letter toJudge Taft
complaining bitterly that the courts
reference to himself was obIter dictum
and was entirely outside the courts
powers. The mayor confidently ex-
ipected to be hailed before the bar. To
his surprise, however, he received a
letter from Judge Taft admitting that
he had gone farther than he should
in his comments on the mayors atti-
tude and asking the mayor to accept
his apology for what he had said.
That was Taft all through. Consci-
entiously believing originally that 1t
was his duty to rebuke the mayor. he
