The St. Mary banner. (Franklin, Parish of St. Mary, La.) 1889-1931, 1908-04-25
On last Monday night the Au-

On last Monday night the Au-
ditorium was crowded to its ut
most capacity with people from
our town and the surrounding
country to witness the sSpectacu-
lar Minstrels that was rendered by
the young men of our town for
the benefit of the building fund
of the new Catholic Church.
There were at least 800 people
present to witness the per-
Torrance, and every one who
took part in, the play carried out
their respective parts to the let
ter.
The Minstrel was conducted
under the direction of Mr.. Will
liam Cockerel, better known as
ssBilly Van, the Minstrel Mar" "
and the genial and courteous rep
resentative of the Gulf Coast
Grocery Co., of Lake Charles.
sBilly" did much to make the
+ entertainment q success, and it
was under his direction that the
boys rendered their part in such
a good way. It is useless for us
to comment on the boys who
took part in the play, for to crit
icise one and not the other would
being doing an injustice. So all
that is left for US to say-every
one played their part wen.
The specialties introduced by
Mr.. Albert Loustalot on the slack
wire, and Mr.. JOS. Givens' recita-
tons helped to complete the pro-
gram.
On next Wednesday night, the
minstrel will play at Morgan City
for the benefit of the Catholic
Church of that place, and on
Wednesday, May 9th, they will
play in New Iberia for the benefit
of the Elks Order of that city.
We hope the boys will meet with
as much success in the above
towns as they did at home.

 Costume Of the Autumn Woman-What She Wears
By ANNIE KENpRIck WALKER.

New York, September 6.-(Special.)- War paint and feathers have gotten to mean something at last In the vocabulary of the modish woman. It has always been used promiscuously, to describe anything that your tailor built for you or that Paris coutourierre said you must wear, or that hat woman put on your head anything that you wore when you were "engrande toilette" But now 1t means feathers, actually war paint and feath- ersi

Paradise feathers and long curling ostrich plumes that encircled broad brimmed hats never glared at you and made you feel un- canny, but these present modes make you feel as if you were in the widest -jungles, and were hearing screech owls.

London, September 6.-Although the Trades union congress has been weaken ed by the withdrawal from membership of two of the larger unions in England, the Amalgamated Society of Engineers and the Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Bremen, which, together numbered 106 900 in last years representa- tion, the delegates attending this year s congress will represent the greatest num- Der of workingmen ever directly inter- ested In a meeting of the kind in Eng land. The congress is to meet in Not tingham on September ' and will remain in session for a week The affiliated so- cieties represented at the Bath congress last year numbered 1,700,00o and that total, which established a record, has already been exceeded by 36,0o0 in the numbers paid for in respect to this year s gathering. The delegates will number upward of 300.
 The liberal government already has sat- isfied the claims of union worlSmen in respect to two of the most important questions which occupied the time of previous congresses. having passed trades disputes and workmen compensation bills. Still many more reforms will be urged upon parliament and the discussion of these particularly as the unions are not unanimous on them will fully occupy the weeks session.
