The Crime Of Sneezing.

1t appears to be a crime for a ci.
tizen to sneeze in a theatre, and
yesterday, in the Second Recor-
der's Court, a man was fined $3.50
for letting ge a sneeze in the
Greenwall Theatre.
Medical men will tell you that a
sueeze is "A spasmodic sternutory
act which is not under the control
of the sneezer, and it must escape
from his chest and through his
nasal air passages whether he will
or not.
The Picayune knows two news.
paper men in this city, who are of
entire responsibility, but who are
champion sneezers. Under this
new law, evidently made by the
Recorder, and therefore wholly
unauthorized, the act of sneeziny
is crime and the respectable par.
ties mentioned, should they sneeze
in a public place, are liable to be
seized by the minions of the law
and yanked off to Jail without ben.
eft of clergy.
This new recorder-made law and
the judgment rendered by the ma.
ker ought to be appealed to the
District Criminal Court. 1t has
not yet come to light that to cough
in public is crime, but as cough
ing may be the result of some Sc
rious disease, it may be more Of
fensive to the health of others than
is sneeze. So many attacks are
being made on the personal liber-
ties of citizens these days that we
may wonder where it will all end.
1t will soon be necessary for the
people to rise and recover the Ii.
berries of which they are being
robbed by few fanatics and busy.
bodies under the pretense of re-
form.

A campaign for statewide pro.

an address in favor of prohibition.
The prohibitionists have been
working quietly but earnestly in
this State for some time, and it
was announced Immediately after
the prohibition victory in this city,
Jan. IA, that such q campaign
would probably be launched.
At that time none of the local
leaders would disouss the question
and it was believed the plan had
been practically abandoned until
the recent meeting at New Orleans.
1t is said Judge Porter aud Dan.
lei Scarborough of Nstchitoches,
the latter q member of the next
Legislature, are preparing the bill
which will be introduced, and Sen.

Senators who the leaders for State
prohibition claim favorable to the
proposed bill.
