A LOBSTER DINNER.
Lobsters Come High, but they are Literally
Served at Crescent Beach.

The steamer Castine made her first excur-
sion of the season to Crescent Beach last
Sunday, leaving Lewis wharf at $50 a. M,
and the elements were propitiOuS and the
dinner one of landlord Smiths best. At the
start the wind was southeast, with fog in
the otfing, and overcoats were essential to
comfort, but as the day wore on and the sun
came out in strength the wind moderated
and the fog was driven seaward. 1t was a
fine sailing breeze, with smooth water, and
a number of coasters beating down the bay,
the wooded shores close at hand on the star
board side and the islands on the port side,
the blue water with it's crisp little waves
between, made up a charming marine pic
ture. The man with a camera got snap
shot of a four master bound up the bay with
leading wind just before reaching Cam
den, where few of the party were landed
and others came on board. The,nner harbor
as usual was filled with sailing yachts and
power boats at their moorings, while many
were still hauled out in Daily's yard and
elsewhere along the shore, another indica-
ton of the lateness of the season. There
was three-masted schooner on the railway
The Bean shipyard adjoining the wharf
of the Eastern Steamship Co., has been
cleared of buildings, timber, ETC., and looks
as though destined to become moving
field. Time was, not so very long ago, when
one or two big schOOners were to be seen on
the stocks in this yard, and the discontinue
ance of this once important Camden indus
try will be felt in many directions.
The Castine made good speed down the
bay and in due time was laid alongside the
end of the long pier at Crescent Beach. 10
notice had been given of our coming and all
hands had been busy preparing fer the fes-
tivities of st. Johns Bay, and after our
arrival it was necessary not only to cook
the dinner but to set up and lay the tables
for the party, in addition to those required
for the regular guests. We had not long to
wait, however, and in little over half an
hour we were all comfortably seated and
promptly served with a menu that included
lobster stew, lobster cold, lobster broiled.
clans fried and steamed, scollops, hot bis
cult, doughnuts, pie and coffee. The only
regrets we heard were those of inability to
do more ample justice to the tempting
viands.

laid for the expected 400 Knights Templar.

Josiah W. Wilkins died at his home on
Bay View street June 18th, after 10 months
confinement to his bed, aged II years and
8 months. When years of age he came to
this country with his parents, George and
Ann Powell wilkins, who were employed
in the woolen mills in Lowell, Mass. Mr..
wilkins was given college education and
in early manhood went upon the stage with
Edwin Booth and continued in this pro.

Some Dreams of Ball Maps.

A special to the Picayune says.
There is considerable talk of a
new league next year if Monroe
fails to get a Cotton States fran
chise. The new leagne, 1T is
stated, will be composed of Hot
Springs, Pine Bluff and Texar-
kama, Ark. Monroe and Baton
Rouge, La. and Natchez, Miss.
This league while covering con.
siderable territory, would be
composed of all good baseball
towns, and would no doubt be a
80. However, Monroe will make
every effort to get into the Cot
ton States League, and from
dispatches from the present cir
cult of that League it is evident
that at least two of the towns
have enough. Monroe will make
every effort to get one of these
franchises, but in case of failure
the new League will be formed
with the cities mentioned as a
basis. It is said that Alexandria
would like to get in on this prop.
osition, and possibly if Mobile
gets Shreveport's franchise in
the Southern League Shreveport
might come in. With Shreve
port and Alexandria added al
the big jumps would be cut out
and a good eight-club League
formed.

A PARISH FAIR NEXT YEAR.

II is now too late for Lafay cite
to hold a parish fair this year.
but it is not to early to begin
planning for one next year, and
the Progressive League should
take up the matter at once.
A great many parish fairs are
being held over the State this
year, a number of them this
month, which affords US a special
ly good opportunity to learn by
actual demonstration exactly
what good there is in having a
parish fair.
To do this the League should
appoint a committee to visit the
neighboring fairs and cOmmuni-
cate with officials of the others, to
learn as much about fairs as pos
sible. The investigation should
he made with a view to learning
first the advantages to accrue
from having a fair. and next
what is the best method of hold
ing one.
The report Of this committee
would enable US to proceed more
satisfactorily and surely in plan
ming for a successful fair next
year, and we certainly should
plan for one and carry out the
plan.

Wilkinson Gaining in Strngth

Wilkinson Gaining in Strngth.
Washington Leader.
The reports from all over the
State show a steady increase in
the supporters of Wilkinson for
Governor. The popularity of the
popular son of ST. Mary seems
to be on the decline and it is now
claimed that if he carries his own
parish it will be by the smallest
majority, and while this falling"
off is cause for alarm in the
Sanders camp it gives impetus
to the ever increasing strength
of Wilkinson.

FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL

Among the several gentlemen
who are aspiring to the office of
attorney general, we would like
to recommend to the people of
this parish Col. r. G. Pleasant of
Shreveport. He is a yOungman
of ability, full Of energy and ar,
bitiOn, and his character is above
reproach. We believe, and what
we know of him fully justifies
our belief, that should the people
of this great State honor him by
electing him to the responsible
position of attorney general, that
he will serve them ably and well,
and will follow duty wherever it
leads. We again recommend
him to the consideration of the
people of Lafayette, feeling con-
fident that he is truly the man
for the place.

The Cane Crop.
Louisiana Planter.

Louisiana Planter.
The weather during the past
week has been generally favor
able for the cane crop and the
reports from the sugar district
all indicate satisfactory progress
and encouraging prospects.
High temperature with some
rain, though not as much of the
latter as we have had during the
last few weeks. have been the
prominent features of the situa.
ton. The crop is moving ahead
at a satisfactory rate and every
thing looks favorable, although
some isolated localities complain
that they have been neglected by
the rainfall, and have not yet had
whao they need in that line.

OF fact. he left Utica Wednesday, but
stopped in New York. The Secretary does
not intend to take upon himself the active

some important negotiations that have

PRINCE ITO's ACHIEVEMENT.
japanese Official Succeeds in His
Policy-The Korean Situation.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
TOXIC, September 20.-Crown Prince
Yoshihito will start for Korea on October
10. His suite will include Prince Ari-
sugawa. Baron Katsura, former premier,
and Admiral Marquis Togo.
Prince Ito resident general in Korea, will
start on his return to his post at Seoul next
Sunday. The appointment of Baron Some.
formerly minister of finance In the Katsura
cabinet as vice resident general was ga
zetted today.
This untes the Yamagata-Katsura clique
with Itos administration and apparently
commits the stalwarts to his industrial, ju-
dicial and developmental policy. 1t also
gives Some some oversight Of the interior
administration of Korea. 1t marks the
the distinct separation of the civil and
military administrations. Hitherto Gen.
Hasegawa, the commander of the japanese
military forces in Korea, has acted as vice
resident. He is now retired from all. civil
duties and can devote himself entirely to
modern lines.
Ito's visit to Toxic undoubtedly marks
a crisis in Korean affairs, the arrival of
which has been awaited with anxiety be-
cause of the known attitude of the stall
warts who, eXasperated by Korean du-
plicity, desired the adoption of punitive
measures. Ito's visit having resulted in the
affiliation of the Katsura clique with the
government the permanence of the resi-
dent generals gentler policy which has
almost uninterruptedly dominated in ia
pans treatment of Korea since the be-
ginning of the modern era is assured and
Japan's great peacemaker has achieved an
other triumph.
