men All the costs were taxed to the
town OF DIN.
The Enterprise Tea company has
made this test case and will without
doubt now sue the town of DIN for
damages for it's illegal arrests.
This case will probably be the last
of this series of attempts to prevent
these companies from selling goods IN
outside towns.
The Enterprise Tea company was
represented by Boardman & Lawrence
OF Marshalltown, Iowa. who have made
speciality of this class of litigation.
Mr.. Boardman stated that out OF the
many cases OF similar character
brought against their clients all over
the state they have never had a con-
viction stand In the district court.
He feels confident that the cities VIII
soon recognise the folly of attempting
to stite competition by the passage OF
ordinances.

SILVER JUBILEE.

Last Sunday there WAS a besuti-
full ceremony at the Convent of
Mercy at Jeanerette, and it was
made one of the most brilliant &C.
casions ever witnessed at this
beautiful institution. 1t was the
Silver Jubelee of Sister Martina
Bienvenu. who spent twenty-five
years of her useful life as Sister
of Mercy, aud seventeen Of these
twenty-five years were spent at the
Convent of Jeanerette, aud during
the past several years as Mother
Superior of the Convent.
Sister Martina by her devotion
to religion, her wise administra-
ton of the affairs of her Convent,
her devoted attention to the chill
dren entrusted to her care, her
kind ministration to the sick aud
the needy, have won for her the
love and esteem of the people of
Jeanerette.
May Sister Martina receive the
blessings of Heaven and that her
noble life be spared to contiue her
good work in religion and in train
ing the young generations and
giving them that religious educa-
ton We 80 much cherish 10 this
part of Louisiana, and that when
the time of celebrating her Col
den Jubilee comes, she will have
accomplished her life's duty and
be ready to receive the rewards
which are due to the good Sisters
of Mercy.

1t was reported some time ago
that there were good many blind
tigers in and around Melville.
This report is verified by the fol-
lowing taken from the last issue of

Deputy United States Marshal
Curley Hebert has been reaping a
harvest i'll the River city of st.
Landry. For some days past he
has been in search of blind tigers
in the vicinity of and in the town
of Melville, aud his efforts have
been we'll rewarded. 1t is repor.
ted that he has arrested some thing
like half. dozen "Dagoes" on a
charge of selling liquors without
procuring the United States H.
cense, and they have either been
lodged in Jail here or under bond.
Melville is already prohibition
territory, and it is probable that
the parish authorities will have q
further say in this matter when
the Marshal finishes"
Prohibition destroys the legal
saloons, but will never kill the "ti-
gers"
