COMMUNICATION.

Editor Lafayette Advertiser:
Here is a statement recently
made by a freight conductor,
running on the L. w. Railroad,
between Lafayette and Echo.
He says: Bacon, Dove brand,
can be bought in Rayne five or
six cents cheaper than the same
article can be bought in Lafa-
yette. and there is difference in
price in favor Of Rayne on pretty
nearly everything else. We buy
our supplies for the cabooses
right along in Rayne.
If this statement is true, and
no doubt but what it is, are not
the merchants of Lafayette in
particular, and the people in gen
eral, concerned to know why it is
so? If the railroad people of
Lafayette are forced to buy their
supplies of groceries and other
things in some other place, and
if the wholesale houses of Alex
andria are selling to the mer-
chants of Carencro and Sunset,
there would seem to be some
thing radically wrong in the
business of our town.
Is not this a matter the local
press should agitate.

There is generally an explanation
of the success of any great manufac-
turing establishment. This is par
ticularly true when the concern makes
an article dependent upon public
appreciation for it's success. The
success of the manufacturers of La
France Shoes, which are sold in
Lafayette by M. Rosenfeld is ex-
planned by their progressiveness.
They keep a little ahead of the pro-
cession not only in styles, but in
those special features which the de-
mands of modern society make upon
a woman's shoes. One of the best
illustrations of this is the famous
Flexible Welt, which has very soft,
flexible leather sole. but at the same
time gives stylish. substantial ap-
pearance that is not ordinarily found
in a model that aims primarily at
comfort. M. Rosenfeld will be glad
to show this shoe and recommend it
to any woman who has difficulty
in finding a perfectly comfortable
shoe that is at the same time dressy.

experienced. It has been possi-
BILE to conduct grinding opera
tions with so little interruption

an abundance of labor, that some
houses are already through and
others anticipate finishing within
the next 10 days. Canes are
generally yielding well in sugar,

heavy, except here and there.
Conditions. in general. however,

work of the campaign that the
planters as a rule feel pleased

INSTITUTE NOTES.
(Contributed.)

hO 4ANoOil h)OSiCUy llOlo ioso
regular meeting Saturday night
with an unusual number of visi-
tors in the audience. Outside of
the debate. Resolved that La
Dor Unions are beneficial to the
working classes, in which Mr..
Sidney Voorhies received the
prize for an able discussion Of
the affirmative, the program
was chiefly musical and very de-
lightful duets and violin solo
were rendered.
The now famous S. l.. |. |.
team won against Lake Charles
Thursday and against Vinton
Friday. Probably the game
Friday was the finish for this
season. The boys have done
beautifully and the Institute is
proud of their record of not hav-
ing lost a game this season.
The line up for both the above
games was as follows:
Roy Aycock, center; NELLY,
right guard; JOLIET. left guard;
Arnanne. right tackle; Menz,
left tackle; Alex Bagarry, right
end; S. Bullion, left end; Borde-
Ion, quarter back; Delahoussaye,
right half; Barrios. left half; W.
Vincent, full back.
In the Lake Charles game Del
ahoussaye made first touch down
after steady gains by whole
team down field, Bordelon kicked
goal. Next Bordelon after sig
nal to pass ball around left end
made mistake in passing. but
more than made up for it by
running around right end 40
yards to goal for a touchdown,
Bordelon kicked goal. Final
score S. L. I. I. II, Lake
Charles 0,
In Vinton game Barrios ran 40
yards for goal and afterwards
80 yards for another goal. Della
houssaye made third touchdown
on straight foot ball, making final
score 16 to o in favor of s. L. 1. 1.
The team sincerely hopes that
Mr.. Davis, our able champion at
Moss Pharmacy, who has do
mated two pounds of Jacobs
best to the team for each game
they have won, will continue to
prosper and encourage Institute
athletics.
Again we feel justly proud of
our team which has never broken
training, complained of rigorous
rules or bruises and always car
ried our leather safely to VIC
tory.

TERRIBLE MARINE EARTHQUAKE.
Cape Horn Phenomenon Kills Thou.
sands Of Big Fish.

A sailing ship rounding Cape Horn
was caught in a dead calm, something
almost unprecedented in that stormy
latitude. The sky was filmed with a
light haze and the sea fiat and lead
colored. About ten o'clock on the
morning of the second day the ship
began to shake violently, the masts
whipped and bent like fishpoles, and
everything movable above and below
came down with q clatter. It was
like striking a rock, only the shock
was less pronounced at first. but in
creased in violence during the 30
seconds 1t lasted. The sea heaved
in oily swells with a strange hoarss
murmur, and It continued to be agi-
tated after the tremors ceased.
Half an hour later fish by the thou
sands began to rise to the surface, un-
til It was covered with them. Forty
seven whales were counted, many
cowflsh, fully eight feet across, sharks
without number and seals by the hun
dreds. They were evidently stunned
with the force Of some terrific marine
upheaval, and when struck with q
pole by one of the sailors showed only
faint signs Of life. In 20 minutes
after the first fish arose to the sur
face they began to drop out of sight
like pieces Of lead. Whether they
were stunned, and, on recovering. i'm
mediately dove beneath the waves in
q panic, seeking safety in the depths.

and, instead Of floating as dead fish
do, were drawn under BY some sub
marine whirlpool were scientific Ques-
tions too deep for the skipper. but
half dozen Of the smaller fish hauled
sboard BY the cook for dinner were
quite dead when examined. The calm
continued - hours longer before the
ocean resumed its usual aspect and q
wind from the southeast permitted the
ship to continue IT. course.
