FROM FATHER PARMENTIER

We reproduce below a letter
from Reverend Father Parmen-
tier, the much beloved priest whG
was stationed in New iberia many
years ago and who worked Sc
faithfully for the building Of the
beautiful Catholic Church, which
Iadorns our City to-day. Father
/ Parmentier was loved and admir-
led by all creedS and had a kind
WORD for everybody and always
assisted the poor in every con
iccivable manner. His name will
ALWAYS be remembered and cheer
lished by many Of our people:
/ Elbcuf, France, Dec. nth, '07.
/ Mir. N. w Fisher, Editor Of the
New Iberia Enterprise:
| Dear Sir Shall not let this
tyear close without sending you my
best thanks for your interesting
pepper (The Enterprise which |
have received so regular " in 1907.
1t is surely a good work you
do to let me be with you every
week and take a part in your GOOD
and sad days. The death L the late
Reverend p. NJ. jouan has been a
loss to the community and to the
Catholics particularly.
| have been much pleased to
read the various Memoriums CON
tanned in Your columns of August
9th. 1907.
hope YOU viii favor me with
your paper next year as hereto
fore for the last seventeen years.
| present to YOU my best wishes for
Ia happy New Year and the welfare
.of your little City. / remain as
ever your very thankful friend,

TO REDUCE SALARY.

One class Of men who pass
through here have little reason t.
be happy on this the first day OF
The new year. They are the
twenty-five railway mail clerks
on the Southern Pacific trains
running between New Orleans and
Houston and their salaries begin
lining today will be reduced from
500 to $500.
The men were notified yesterday
fthat the cut would be made on ac-
icount Of the reorganization of the
hline.
! On the run between New Or
leans and the Texas city are thirty
clerks. Nine Of them who have
been receiving $500 a year viii
hereafter receive $1,000. Five who
were paid $1,000 yearly will be
given $1,000. Eight whose salaries
were $1,000 will be compensated
yearly at the rate Of $1l00. The
remainder will not be included in
the reduction, their salaries being
I$Il00 and $1,000, the minimum
figures.
This Wholesale cut is due to the
reduction Of the size of mail ears
on the line from fifty and sixty feet
to thirty.
At that time the government
had on the Southern r. .fc two
'siXty-foot cars and seve eight
fifty-foot cars, but the de-
partment only paid for It
of space in the sixty-foot 5. re, so
that all ears were in effect fifty
footers. Last summer the sixty
foot ears were taken off and a
month or two later the ffty-foot
carriers followed. Then the thir-
ty-fo0t cars were substituted.
1t is in this action that the am
putation Of salaries is explained.
A railway mail clerk s salary is
regulated by the size Of the ear
in which he works. If he is as
signed to the thirty-foot "apart-
ment car" he can receive no more
than $1,000 year under the reg
uIations. Half of these cars are
used for mail and half for bag
gage. On cars which measure
forty feet and over and are used
entirely for mail, the clerks may
be paid as high as $500,
Several Of the men, it is said,
have resolved to resign from the
service. There are on the South
ern Pacific run affected by the
order men who have worked in the
government mail service for thir-
ty years, and these and others feel
that the time is inopportune Of the
railway mail clerks when an en-
deavor is being made in induce
white men to enter the service.

PRINTING PRICES ADVANCE

The price of printing, such as
job work and short orders, has adj
vanced in Chicago. This was de
termined upon at meeting of the
Ben Franklin Club in the Sher-
man House recently. 1t was
shown the shortening of the work
day and the advanced price of
material meant an additional cost
of production of at least 20 per

By next Monday it will be
known just how many saloons will
be in business here fer the rest of
the year. That is the last day
on which the licenses may be paid
The ordinance covering the matter
makes the license delinquent on
the fifth of January, but this year
the fifth comes on a Sunday.
Therefore the delinquency comes
on the sixth.
Up to the present time six of
the s,aoen keepers have paid their
licenses and it is rumored that
the number of thirst parlors IN the
City this year will be just the same
as last year 1t is SAID that one
saloon will go out OF business
while another one will be added to
