THE PRINTING BILL.
Cost of Election Tickets When There
Is no Opposition.

The New Orleans Picayune's Baton
Rouge correspondent states that the
cutting down of the printing bill of the
State by the elimination of the cost of
printing election tickets when there is
no opposition to candidate is being Sc
riously considered by the State officials.
Yesterday after the meeting OF the State
Printing Board it was discussed at
some length, and Governor Sanders and
Secretary of State Michel both ex-
pressed themselves as favorable to the
idea within the past several months
the State has had to have printed for a
number of parishes tickets for election
in which there was only one candidate
and no interest. 1t costs the State just
as much to. print tickets and furnish
supplies for parish or ward where
there is one candidate as where there
are three or four. If these tickets could
be eliminated except when there is q
contest over the offices it would be d
great saving to the State in its printing
bills. The election law would have te
be amended to make this change. The
printing of election tickets has been il
the years past very costly to the State
and there should be a new system, OF
rather the old way should be revived.
| Why should the State be required t.
print the tickets for parochial an'
municipal elections or for the nomina
ton of the candidates for such position
When each parish and each munici
pality holds an election, be it for Stat
or parochial Offices, the authority of tn
party in each parish or municipalit.
should be required to provide the tick
cts necessary for such election or nomi
nation.
As it now is, the State is expected t
Idefray the cost of tickets and the neces
Isary paraphernalia in elections having
local interest alone and in which tn
state can have no concern.

ONLY ONE LICENSE
Plea Of Attorney General Guion Denied
by the Supreme Court.

New Orleans States April 26: The
Supreme Court today refused re-
hearing in the -Shattuck liquor
cases, which were recently decided ad-
versely to the cont(ntions of the district
attorney and Attorney General. The
application was made by Attorney Gen
eral Guion. The effect is to bring the
litigation to an end Only new saloons
will be required to obtain permits under
the law of last year and none of the
present saloons, wherever located, will
be disturbed.
Chief Justice Breaux handed down a
decision in another Gays6hattuck case
coming from the country. 1t was the
case of the State on the relation of
tax collector against Charles Falken-
heiiner and involved the question of
whether liquor could be Sold in sepa:
rated bars in the same building to
whites and negroes and whether the
saloon man must pay one or two IL
censes.
The Chief Justice held: "The sale of
Intoxicating liquors to whites and col
ored to be consumed on the premises
can not be conducted in one building
Bars separated one from the other in
one building does not come within the
provision of the statute requiring that
the business be conducted in separate
buildings.
IF a person conducts two saloons
one for whites and the other for ne.
groes, he owes two licenses. The laws
requirement in this case can not b<
avoided by conducting two separate -bar
rooms in the same building.

of the State Constitution and thu
Fourteenth Amendment; and this Act i:

of the State Constitution.

AN OUTRAGE
Attempted Destruction of the St. Louis
Cathedral in New Orleans

New Orleans Picayune: There could
scarcely be more startling and unex-
pected event than was the explosion OF
bomb in the ST. Louis Cathedral of
this city Sunday.
About o'clock in the afternoon many
people in that part of the city below
Canal street heard the explosion. but
gave it no special attention until it was
known that it had occurred in the his
toric old edi6ce, which has been since
1904 the cathedral church of the Arch
diocese of New Orleans. The building
was filled with smoke and fame, which
for few minutes poured through the
broken windows. The fire department
was summoned, but the first persons
who entered the church, although they
found evidences on every hand of the
wreck caused by violent explosion,
discovered no fire and no loss of life
or any personal damage to any human
creature.
A quantity of explosive material.
doubtless in the form of bomb, had
been fired in the second story of the
front vestibule on Chartres street, and
while tearing and wrecking everything
around, its main force had been exerte1
downward through the floor, shiverine
the boards and splintering and smash
ling the heavy beams that supported the
gallery floor.
If the force of the explosive had
been exerted upward as it was down
ward, it would have blown out the ma
sonry of the tower which held up tht
lofty central spire and have gone fa'
towards destroying the building, but th'
lintehsest force of nitro-glycerine, ant
Iof dynamite, which is the form in which
lnitro-glycerine is commonly used, is al
tways exerted on the substance or Sur
face upon which or against which i
rests. In this instance the explosive wa

For Killing Ono Donkey.

What the white Men Charged Them
For Killing Ono Donkey.
In "Reminiscences OF Old Times In
Tennessee" story is told of the good
faith and honor OF party Of Chicka-
saw Indians. While hunting one fall
they shot donkey, mistaking the
creature for wild animal. They sold
the hide. and 1t finally came to The
hands OF John Barnes in Upton.
When the Cbickasaws returned to
the region OF Upton for their annual
hunt the next fall Barnes invited them
TO a shooting match. the prize to be
the skin of a very rare animal.
Thirty braves appeared at the con-
test. aud one of them won the prize
When he saw the skin he turned it
over and said: "IIa. ha! Me kill him!
Me shoot him! See" And he pointed
to the fatal bullet hole.
Then Barnes told them that they had
killed donkey. very useful animal.
but he was sure that they had done Ii
by mistake, believing IL to be a wild
animal.
The Indians listened attcntively TO
the white mans words aud then con.
suited together few minutes. Finally
they separated, each brave going to his
pony. unhitching him and leading him
to The spot where gang OF white men
stood. Barnes In the midst OF them
Then one OF the Indians spoke:
I'VE sorry we kill donkey. We think
he belong to the woods. We find him

toned to the long line OF ponies, held
by their owners.

"Whlte mau say" returned the In.
dian: "tako plenty"
The honor of the rcd men was not
oqualed by the white men, for, he 1t
recorded TO their shame. they took
from the Chlckasaws thirty.6vc ponies
to pay for the accidental killing of one
donkey.
