Card of Thanks.

We do not know how to appre-
ciate friends until the dark
shadows of sorrow settle upon us
and friends most true come to our
relief. If human kindness and
sympathy. and the skill and atten-
ton of physicians could have
saved them, our darlings would be
with us now, but God who gave
them hath taken them away, and
we can but bow in humble SUBJ
mission to His will.
To the ministers, physicians and
many friends who stood by us so
faithfully in our time of deep
sorrow and grief, we tender our
most grateful thanks aud pray
Gods rich blessings may ever be
upon them.
Mr.. and Mrs. p. X. ABEL.

of this neat public amusement
hall with a varied and attractive
program. Besides the moving
pictures, Prof. j. r. Diamond,
the many instrument performer,
is musician who is literally
spplauded. jolly Joe, the sooty-
faced comedian, adds to the at
fractions, and best of all, Miss
Rhodes Randle, in her illustrated
songs, is enthusiastically en-
couraged by the appreciative
audience. She is a sweet singer,
of home talent. The program is

New Postal Regulation.
On the first page of The Sentinel
is printed an announcement
that has just gone into effect that
is imperative on all newspaper
publishers. 1t requires that SUBJ
scriptions must be paid in
advance. Like many of the ills
to which flesh is heir, it may
work a hardship on subscribers
and publishers alike for a time,
yet in the end will prove a bless
ing in disguise.
Under the provisions OF this
ruling the publisher has no option
in this matter, as the law imposes
} penalty for every infraction.
While this journal has a large
paid up subscription, there are
many who are in. arrears. We
feel assured that they will under
stand the situation and pay up
promptly. Bills are being mailed
% all who ere indebted to The

We have appreciated the
patronage of our friends, we
want their support and their
friendship; we wish to greet them
weekly and feel that the visit ard
interchange of friendly chats and
greetings shall continue. There
8 left but one alternative for this
interchange OF amenities, that Is

In reference to letter given to
tie public last week, in discussing
the claim for holding election at
the ward one box, / was made to
say that only one day was re-
quired. which is an error. The
word one box is received by the
sheriff or deputy on the day prior
to the election, and delivered on
the day after the election, just as
the country boxes are. And in
reference to the compensation for
said service, 1 will say, in addi-
ton to what was said last week,
that the sheriff's Office is required
to make q certified list of all
persons who pay q poll tax in the
two years preceding any election,
and without extra compensation.
The first ward of this parish has
400 polls paid in 1907 and 1856 in
1906, consequently the work done
by the sheriff in preparing and
holding an election in ward one
is materially greater than in any
other precinct of the parish,
in so far as either work or re-
sponsibility is concerned.
Yours truly,

SENT TO ASYLUM.
Man Went Insane Because His Wife
 Was Detained at Boston.

Chicago, May 1.-John Moulds is raving in the Dunning asylum and calls constantly for his wife who is detained at the immigrant station in Boston because she is an alien and cannot show that she is able to support herself.
 She arrived yesterday on the Sax onia in response to cablegram from the Chicago police informing her of the condition of her husband, who came to this country from England three years ago and went to work here. Moulds made good wages as an expert machinist, and besides supporting his family of nine chill dren in England managed to save $500. Four weeks ago he took his money out of the bank and bought was beaten and robbed. He never recovered from the assault and be- came insane and was sent to Dun- ming.
 Not hearing from him, his wife became alarmed and communicated with the Chicago police. Working on her information they iden flied her husband. and two weeks ago they cabled her of his condition. She took the next steamer for this country. Her pitiful story aroused the immigration authorities and at their own expense they wired her friends. If they can guarantee that she will not become public charge she will be allowed to come to Chi caRo

MONEY IN TRUST
Robert (. Plume Case Brings
 Up New Situation. l

Those who have money in trust funds, or to whom money in any shape is due ought to keep their ear to the ground and an eye on the progress 1T the case of Robert C. Plume. adminls- trator on the estate of his grandmoth- CT Aurelia Hulse Plume, against the Colonial. Trust company as executor on the estate of his father David S. Plume. David s. Plume was trustee of fund which he was to invest and reinvest for the benefit of Mrs A. H.. Plume.
 It is conceded that he did 50 up to the time of her death which occurred in 1886, twenty-two years ago. It IS claimed by the defense in the suit that that was the end of the trust fund, that Mrs Fumes estate was settled up and that if her grandson has any claim against her estate 1t was long ago outlawed. Robert C. Plume was appointed administrator on the estate year ago, or about the time his father died in February l90I.
 Colonel Burpee appeared for the defence in the superior court at short calendar this morning and Attorney O.Neill for the plaintiff Mir O'Neill held that probate court records prove nothing, even if they pretend to show anything. which in this instance is about $4.0O0. This money was invest ed in David s. Fumes name for Mrs A. H. Plume and therefore the stat ute of Limitations cannot work against the claim because Robert C. Plume could not put in a claim until he was appointed administrator. Judge Wheeler reserved decision.

SCULLY SNUBBEp
Board of Education W0nldn't Let Him Preside at Meeting.

The board of education threw down the gauntlet to Mayor Thoms last night when they refused to per- init the chairman of the board of aldermen, who went there for that purpose by request of the mayor, to preside at their meeting. There was no animated discussion over the matter and no bad feeling resulted from what took place. Before the meeting was called President Scully of the board of aldermen talked the matter over with Vice Chairman Me- Donald, and the latter had nojhesi- tation in stating that in the alEence of the mayor the president d the board of aldermen had an uriques- toned right to take his place. This is so plain in the charter that here can be no ambiguity about it. But the board decided differently! and MT Mcdonald voted with them, and there you are.
 Speaking on the question to-day Mayor Thoms said:
 At the hour appointed for the meeting of the board of education last evening, I was absent from the city, and MT Scully, under Section 90 of the charter, was mayofI with all the rights, powers and duties pertaining to that office. I do not understand how the board of hduca- tion could deprive him of his right to preside over their deliberations and still have their meeting d legal one
 Some of the members of the board, MT Laun in particular. didn't like the idea of refusing to have Mir Scully preside, fearing that 1t might be regarded as a personal slight to him, but MT Scully' assured them that he didn't take 1t that way and wanted nobody to consider his feelings in the matter. He was there not by choice, but in obedience to call from the mayor, and while fully convinced that he was clearly within his rights, if the loard re- garded his presence in a nature of an invasion upon them he was ready to withdraw He had not come to make scene.
 To one or two of the members it was like shaking red rag in front of bull to have MT Scully come forward and take a seat at the ta- ble. He is member of a commit tee appointed by the mayor to look over school expenditures and has, been referred to as one of the con- servators of the department. Be- fore the meeting was called to or der somebody inquired about his side partner, Commissioner McEl- ligott of the board of finance, and wanted to know why he neglected to bring him along. It was a hard night for an evic- ion. It trained like the mischief and the wind blew a terrific gale. but the situation was desperate and the board evidently concluded that the case required he roic treatment and decided to apply it. On the way home Mr Scully got soaked and every step he took he ut tered cuss words regarding the con. duct of the two young barristers on the board of education and vowed to even things up with them some fine day.
