SEWERAGE QUESTION.

AS the town grows in size
and population the question of
sewerage becomes moreand more
serious and to-day there are
several sections where condi-
tions are well nigh unbearable.
The time will soon be, if it is
not here now, that a complete
system of sewerage must be
installed not only as a matter
OF public decency. but as an
essential measure for the pro.
lection of public health. While
the city authorities are pro.
baby doing all in their power

SUGAR REfINERIES.

Reports are rife that move
ments are afOOt to establish one
or two more sugar refineries in
the parish and it is known that
the people of Carencro have now
a definite proposition in hand to
erect a factory for next years
crop. The farmers and bust
ness men of Scott are also re
ported to be considering a
similar project seriously. Far
mers along the railroads. near
shipping stations, are preparing
to plant a large acreage of cane,
and the question naturally arises
why pay freight to manufacture
sugar away from home, when
the thing can be done here just
as economically and besides give
fine employment to a large num-
Der of workmen, who would
spend their money in the com
munity? The soil of the parish
is admirably adapted to the cul-
tivation of cane, as proved this
year by yields of 20 to 80 tons
per acre. The weevil will cut off
very largely the production OF
cotton and wherever practicable
farmers should plant cane and
other crops. There should be
by all means three large retiner'
les built, one at Carencro, one at
Scott and one on the Vermilion
river near the Wilmington place.
The people will furnish the cane
if the mill will take it.
It takes money to make money,
but in spite of the stringent
times there is enough cash and
good credit in Lafayette, com
bined with a little outside help
to put up these refineries, and
there should be no hesitancy on
the part of the people interested
in getting together and taking ad-
vantage of the opportunity not on.
" to makes good investment but
to establish an industry that will
redeem the entire parish from
the impending ruin and disaster
that now seems to confront the
farmers and business men
generally. Faint heart ne'er won
fair lady and neither will business
timidity ever reap the golden
fruits Of decision and energy.
Lafayette is the garden spot of
the State and needs only the ap-
plicati0n of q. little brain and
Drawn to blossom like a rose.

The

'.His Honor the Mayor at the
Grand.
His Honor the Mayor" at
the Grand last night more thar
made up to all the good things
that have been said about the
show. Possibly there is no play
on the boards this season with
such a choice assortment Of
good music so we'll rendered.
The play is .eeming with the
most irresistible fun and from
start to finish, is a bewildering
swirl of laughs and absurd
scenes.
Little Chip seems to grow
younger every day, and is de-
livering the goods in larger
packages. Mary Marble is just
as good as ever, and the laugh
that made her famous still has
the same infectious ring.
They are supported by an
exceptionally pleasing set of
fun makers and certainly those
who were not present last night
missed a treat. The music alone
would put the entertainment
in the first class and every line
of it is new in this part of the
world.
Besides the music, there are
a number of dancers than whom
there are no better. and best
of all there is not a homely girl
in the whole show. That is one
thing Chip and Miss Marble have
always insisted on from the day
they started Jake Wells for
tune several years ago in Rich
mond, Va, when the present
Southern circuit mogul was
taking his first tottering steps
in stageland.

EXCISE LAW
WORRIES PARLIAMENT
Confscaton Bill, Which Carries Provision Regulating
Sale of Liquor, Creating Much Agitation Among
English Peers, Wrought Up by Suffragettes

Now policeman guarding the en-
frances OF the house are warned against
the seductive wiles Of the prettlest OF
the sunragettes and against going 10
sleep on duty in emulation Of theh
peers. The latter would allow a grand
rush of suffragettes through the gal
leries and this would disturb the labors
Of honorable legislators beyond meas
ure.
These are some Of the features OF the
closing section Of the conhscatiOn bill:
Public houses outside of London may
Keep open three hours on Sunday
Public houses in London may remain
open four hours on Sunday for the sale
Of Intoxicating beverages. all day, how
ever, If milk and tea only are sold.

LONDON, Nov. 19.-There has been no
legislation or attempted legislation in
parliament for many years to create
such agitation as the measures now be-
fore that body. And Of these trouble
giving bills, perhaps the one which is
causing more perturbation than any
other, is the confiscatiOn bill which has
to do, among other things, with regu-
lating Hours for the sale Of liquor on
Sunday and otherwise restricting the
places where liquors are dispensed.
Affairs might be more harmonious.
The suHragettes are continuously clam
oring about the gates Of the house Of
parliament and II vigilance Is relaxed
for a moment the sOmnOlent solemnity
Of the house IS disturbed by shrill cries
Of Votes for women; cease legislating
on unimDOrtant measures and give votes
to Women" Then while the struggling,
frantic females are carried away ia the
arms Of policemen. the legislators look
up blankly and inquire, Where were
We at when this untimely interruption
occurred2"
