NUMBER S5.
THE SENATE LOOKS STRONG
Makeup of Body Strikes Respect
able Average.
Spots of BrilIiancy May Develop
When Occasion Comes, But No
Spots of Character Likely.

Staff Special to The Democrat.
Baton Rouge, May 31.-The
State Senate has not been in ses-
sion long enough to enable the
casual observer to form more
than superficial opinion Of it's
collective merit or individual abil-
ity, hence any attempt to convey
an idea of the character of its
make, up with respect to elO-
quence, learning. scholarship or
skill in debate must of necessity
be somewhat premature. There
has been thus far no discussion
of Importance to apply the spark
to latent eloquence and cause a
spectacular display of burning
oratory, but there have been
enough tryouts of minor import
ance to convey fairly approx
mate idea of the caliber of the
Senate with respect to intellect
ual equipment, honesty of pur-
pose and patriotic impulse. In
all of these things the upper
cham Der of the General Assem-
bly, of 1908 will strike respect
able average. Brilliancy may yet
develop, but it is doubtful. The
Senators as a rule are men of
high character, good intelligence
and sterling integrity. There
may be black sheep in the fold
who is looking out for number
one at the expense of the COM
monwealth, but his identity has
not yet been disclosed. It is the
one best bet that the men who
compose the Louisiana Senate of
1903 are actuated by a lofty de-
sire to do their duty to the State
and its people according to their
lights. They may err. They
doubtless will in some things,
but it will not be through an un-
worthy motive or selfish design.
That is how it looks now, and
that is how it will probably stack
up to the end.

The incident shows the extrem.

the World says: This single in
stance of hundreds of men seek

conditions of privation caused by
the industrial depression than
all the totals of tabulated figures

If a solitary advertisement can
reveal such a surplus of idle
labor eager to snap up a place

shocking must the whole truth
be? The hundreds forced to re-
new the search for work while
the one wins the prize, the heart
sick wives at home, the exhaust

their just need of praise. It is a

GOLDEN JUBILEE
ST. JOHNS CHURCH,

Sunday. May 81, was gala day
at the Catholic church, the cele.
bration of the golden jubilee of
the Sodality of the Blessed Vir.
gin; finishing exercises for the
month of May; blessing of all the
little children and crOwning of
our Lady. The golden jubilee
especially was celebrated with
due pomp and demonstration.
The young ladies gathered for
three days making a most sue
cessful retreat under the leader
ship of Very Rreverend Father
Mattern of New Orleans, three
days of glory they will hardly
ever forget. Sunday morning
all united for General Communion
and Immediately after high mass
partook all together of breakfast
in the presbytery hall. Church
and hall were artistically decor
ated by the ladies who were at
any time during the last fifty
years mem bers of the SOdality.
A happier and jollier crowd was
never seen than the young ladies
and matrons at breakfast at the
priests house Sunday morning.
Father Mattern deserves all the
praises and thanks of the Chill
dren of Mary for the wonderful
treat he has given them these
days; the retreat was revelation
to most of the young folks.
The Society of the Children of
Mary, re erected last year by
Father Teurlings counts now
sixty members of the best
families of the city. The object
of the Sodality is to foster and
maintain the principles, decOrum
and womanly reserve and mod
esty, which have always been
the priceless heritage of our
beautiful Southland.
At night at $50 took place the
blessing of our little children;
some three or four hundred had
the church their way preaching
singing. racing, applauding in
every way; but they all made a
nice Offering to the Blessed Vir
gin and went away home happier
and sweeter. Mabel Roy, or

THEO. \. PRICE INDICTED.
Prominent Cotton Operator Ac-
cused of Conspiracy to De-
fraud and Bribery by
WashingtOna and New
York Grand JurieS.

N. O. States.
Washington, May 29.-Theo-
dore H. Price, Moses Haas and
Frederick A. Peckham, all of
New York, and Edwin S. Holmes
Jr., former assistant statistician
of the department of agricul-
ture, were to-day indicted by the
grand jury of the Supreme
Court of the District of Colum bia
on a charge of conspiracy grow
ing out of the cotton scandal in
1905.
The Indictment charges Price
of conspiring with the other
three men to furnish advance in
formation concerning cotton re.
ports.
The three New York men also
are charged with conspiracy to
bribe Holmes to shape the re-
ports to suit their own interests.
Price, according to the indict'
ments, made S75O,OOO out OF the
advance information on the re.
port for December, 1904, paying
out of this $125 900 to Haas. The
indictments do not say how
much Holmes got as his share OF
the profits. but do charge that
for the information on the june
report of 1905 he was paid $1,000
by Haas.
The indictment against Price
for conspiring with the others
sets forth seven overt acts.

GEN, STEPHEN D. LEE
DIES At VICKSBURG.

Lieut.. General Stephen D. Lee
of Columbus, Miss. commander.
in.chief of the United Confeder-
ate Veterans, answered his last
roll call at & o'clock Thursday
morning in Vicksburg, Miss.
Gen. Lee died at the official
residence of the Vicksburg Ma
tional Park Commission, of which
he was a member. He was
stricken last Friday night conse-
quent upon an exhaustive speech
welcoming four regiments of
Wisconsin and Iowa soldiers,
whom he had fought upon the
Vicks burg battlefield forty-tive
years before.
The emotion and excitement
ver-mastered him, and he fin
ally became so ill he had to take
to his bed. He rallied altern-
ately and Thursday passed into a
state of coma, growing gradually
weaker. His body was taken
from Vicksburg on a special
train Friday morning at Z O'Clock
to Columbus, Miss. The funeral
took place Saturday.
What They Stand For.
N. o. States.
AS a result of the deal between
the Wall street interests and the
Taft managers there has been a
decided shift of elements that
will be factors in the approach
ing presidential cam paign. Three
months ago it was thought tina,
Taft would have behind him
those Republicans who are the
most earnest supporters of the
reforms for which President
Roosevelt is contending, and
against him the Representatives
of the so called predatory wealth
who have been the loudest in de-
nouncing the president.
| But the political twist which
has occurred has changed al
this, and the truth Is that with
out exception all the great cor
porations and the "malefactors
of wealth. are now among tht
most earnest supporters of Mr.
Taft's candidacy. It is quite
clearly understood by the coun

GARDEN Fertilizers.
Prof. Burkett Gives Some Important
Facts Regarding Them.

Prof. Burkett, the well-known AL
thority on soils and plant food, has
this to say of the different functions
of plant foods and the kind of each
best adapted to garden soils:
Iron, though present in plants in but
very small amounts, fills highly i'm
portant place. Without it the chloro
phyl bodies are not formed, and as
these organs are necessary to the as
similation of carbon dioxid no increase
in the dry substance Of plant can
take place without iron. Plants can
elongate in the dark, the growing tips
being nourished by material drawn
from the other parts of the plant, but
there is no gain in dry weight.
Potassium salts are essential to
plants, and the potassium seems to be
necessary in the formation of starch,
| though not constituent of it. In some
kinds of plants potassium Chord is
more effective than other compounds
and the chlorin seems to facilitate the
movement of starch from the leaves
to other parts of the plant.
Sodium, the metal of common salt,
Glaubers salt, and others, is often pres.
ent in large proportion in plant ashes.
1t has not been positively proven to
be essential to plants and its presence
is doubtless to large extent accident.
al. 1t has been found, however, that
to limited extent it can replace po-
tassium in plants; that is, smaller
supply of potassium compounds will
meet the need of a crop if sodium COM
pounds be present than is required in
their absence
Calcium, the metal of limestone and
gypsum, appears to be required in the
processes that result in the formation
of woody tissue. 1t also enters into
combination with organic acids that
would otherwise be injurious to the
plant, thus forming substances of an
excretory nature that are deposited
in the cells Calcium and magnesium
form compounds with the heterogeneous
constituents of plants which seem to
be concerned in the movement of these
substances from one part of the plant
to another.
Phosphorus, to be used by plants,
must be in the form of phosphate.
Calcium phosphates are most abund-
ant in soils. The phosphates form
compounds with the heterogeneous con-
stituents or proteids of the plant and
facilitate their movement Phosphor-
GUS is also an essential constituent of
some of the most important parts of
plants, including the protoplasm of the
cells, which is the living, active part
by which the chemical processes of
plant-growth are brought about.

A House at Bourne.

and outhouses of the dwellings are in
the ground.
In the valley of the Cher the cliffs
for over Is miles, from Chenonceaux
to Saint-Aignan, are honeycombed
with subterranean dwellings, most of
the people living in these caves, not
only the poor but also the more pros
porous peasants, and even many of
the bourgeois. The chateaux also use
these caverns as kitchens, chambers
and lunch rooms, and house some of
the live stock in them.
The town of Bourre is a typical vii
lage of cave jewellers. All along the
cliffs the visitor sees the doors and
windows of the cave houses, and their
chimneys rising above the rocks. IN
| I'll recently none of the people here
ouilt houses.
They lived by preference in capa-
cious rooms heWn out of the rock
Many of the richer among them now
live in houses on the surface, but the
great majority are still faithful to the
cave dwellings which their fathers
dug.
There are good reasons for their
choice. The summer sun pours it's
scorching intensity upon these valleys,
but the cave dwellings are always
cool.
They have the same equable tenn
perature summer and winter. Many of
them have been utilized for centuries
or1 rnhoI1, ic no of
pie do not speak of their houses, but
of their caves.
The rooms in the caves are usually
on the same level, but if the rock roof
is high enough there is often a second
story supported by posts and reached
by stone steps carved out of the side
wall.
What fortunate fellow is the frog
lodyte If more elbow room is needed
as his family grows he has only to
take hts pickax and add length or
width to the domicile. If he wants
little more light or air he knocks an
other hole or two in the front wall.
If the little folks disturb their grand
parents he can dig out new room
for the old people. His stable is prob
ably next door to the living room, and
the COW, chickens and goats live under
the common rock roof. Sometimes the
dwelling is reached by steps from the
outside, but frequently a passage cut
through the rock leads to the room.
Usually there are sufficient windows
for light and ventilation, and the liv-
ing room lacks no appearance of COM
fort. 1t is light and large.
The cupboard, the oak table, the
kneading trough, a looking glass,
chest of drawers and few prints or
colored pictures are arranged along
the stone walls, and behind curtains
are bed or two in recesses dug out
of the rock. On one side is the old.
fashioned fireplace and oven where
the cooking is done, and the chimney
affords most vigorous draught.
One OF the most striking character
istics of these subterranean dwellings
is: the complete lack of humidity on the
walls, in which respect they differ
from most natural limestone caverns

of people in crowded cities whose hab.
itations cannot compare in comfor.
