A Steamboat Line From Baton Rouge
To Franklin.

A steam boat line has been or
ganized and is already plying
between Baton Rouge and Frank
lin, taking and discharging freight
and passengers at all points in
between. The steamboat Concor-
dia arrived here yesterday on its
initial trip and will make two trips
a week regularly between Baton
Rouge and Franklin. This is but
a revival of the old aute-bellum
and even post-bellum navigation
"a bringing back into ERsE as 1t
were, of the old Price, Hine and
Tuffer or Muggah steamboat
navigation system, which, in those
DAYS. made the whole Teche val.
ley the garden spot OF the world
and the greatest commercial region
on earth. 1t is sincerely to be hop
ed that the promoters OF this new
line of water navigation will meet
with all the abundant success
which they deserve-and they
ought to get a liberal patronage,
especially now that the crops are
being moved to market. A rail
route is indeed fine, but a perma.
nent water route along with 1t
is q great deal finer.

Carried His Samples.

A minister who had been doing
missionary work in India recent
ly returned to New York for visit.
He was guest at q well-known
hotel where everything pleased
him except the absence of the
very torrid sauces and spices to
which he had become accustomed
in the Far East. Fortunately he
had brought with him supply of
his favorite condiments and by
arranging with the head waiter
these were placed on his table.
One day another guest saw the
appetizing bottle on his neigh
boris table, and asked the waiter
to give him some of "that sauce !"
"I'm sorry, SIR" said the watt
er, "but it is the private property
of this gentleman" The minister,
however, overheard the others
request, and told the waiter to
pass the bottle. The stranger put
some of the mixture on his meat
and took a liberal mouthfai.
After a moment he turned with
tears in his eyes to the minister.
"You're minister of the
Gospelp"
Eyes, sir.''
"And you preach hell and
eyes," admitted the minister.
swell, you're the first minister
l ever met who carried samples!"

Elephants ambitions as Actors.

Hitherto implacable and ferocious
foes now dwell in perfect harmony
and present incredible performances
with the Hagenbeck- Wallace Shows
which exhibit here Wednesday, Oc-
tober 20. The groupe includes many
of the largest elephants, score OF
lions and lionesses, tigers and
tigresses, pumas. leopards, polar
bears and bears and boarhounds, re-
spending with a remarkable degree
of nicely to the quiet directions OF
their trainers. Monster Bengal IT,
gers are presented riding the biggest
elephants. and the African lions are
seen in single performances in con-
junction with Arabian horses. Ca
pable critics have declared this to be
the greatest animal act in the world.
There are zebras and zebrulas declar-
ed by the average trainer to be hope
less cases, seen displaying apparent
lv remarkable intelligence as saga
cious as horse. These apparently
harmless and innocent looking strip
ed animals require the greatest care,
patience and perseverance in their
training. Troupes of performing
seals, and sea lions, Swiss mountain
goats, monkeys, dogs and other
quadrupeds give evidence OF marve-
lous coaching. A ludicrOus perform
ance reveals table and three chairs,
the trainer occupying one with bear
companion on either side. While
lunch is being served bottle of wine
is opened and the trainer proceeds to
fill small glasses for his guests. He
is interrupted by one of the bears,
who takes the bottle between his paws,
places the neck in his mouth, and fall
ing upon his back, drinks, the con-
tents in apparent great glee. Another
bottle meets somewhat similar fate.
The effects of the wine soon become
apparent and bears and trainer swoOn
in simulated intoxication. Such are
the performances given by animals
under the skillful direction of their
trainers that would do credit to the
average thespian. They learn their
parts we'll and interpret them with a
care and efficiency not often found in
the ordinary actor. In addition to
these wonderful animal acts full
circus performance takes
place which for the extent and excel
lence of it's equestrian contingent,

prise, can lay claim to being veri-

lection of exhibitions ever gathered
