CkRERCRO.

Wednesday morning the celebration
of the First Communion took place in
st. Peters's church at Carencro, Rev.
Father Grimaud pastor. Father Sar-
rain Of Lafayette and several other
priests from Opelousas and New Or
leans assisted in the ceremonies on
the occasion and administered the
sacrament to over 120 children. The
services were marked by the usual sol
emnity of the church in such events
and GFather Grimaud, the good sisters
of st. AIMS Convent and faithful
catholics feel justly gratiied over the
success of the impressive rite.

all else should be intensely practical
and unless it was, the term was a
misnomar. Doing is infinitely more
important than planning and theoriz-
ing and the truth was enforced by the
story Of the donkey that stood be-
tween two hay stacks, but could not
make up his mind which way to go,
and so died of starvation. Do some
thing! Do something! was reiter-
ated with all the force and e%loquence
of the dist nguished speaker. The
Legislature did something when it es-
tablished theIndustrial Institute, and
the people of Lafayette did something
when they secured its location in their
town and parish. Mr.. Thornwell Fay

his efficiency and attention to duty.
This might be called an isolated ex-
ample, but the railroads today found
great difficulty in supplying high po-
sitions with the right kin OF men.
The cry was for we'll trained and ef-
ficient officers, and not so much for
common unframed labor. The vast
~undeveloped industrial of
the country called the highest IN
deavor of brain and Drawn, and the
beauties of glorious Southland should
stir the souls of poet and bard to sub
FINEST flights of fancy and magma
ton. Property was not the basis OF
society as stated by a prominent pa
per in New Orleans, but the virtue of
our people and the honest and intelli-
gent manhood and womanhOod of the
land. The great social problem of to-
dav is how to render subservient to

SIGHTS ABANDONED WRECK.
Japanese Steamer Reports Disaster Of
Cape Flattery.

Seattle. Dec. 24-Another probable
marine disaster off the coast of Wash
ngton was recorded today, when the
Japanese steamer Kaga Maru reported
to the wireless station at Cape Beal
that the American schooner Susie NJ
Plummer was in distress and had been
abandoned 100 miles west and south of
Cape Flattery.
No news regarding the extent of the
schooner's trouble or the fate of the
crew was contained in the brief mes
sage from the japanese vessel, which

COPENHAGEN TURNS DOWN COOK
Investigating Committee Can Find No
Proof of His Claims.

Copenhagen, Dec. 22.-The committee
which has been investigating the data
of DR.. Frederick A. Cook today Off
cially reported to the consistory of the
University of Copenhagen that DR..
Cook 8 records and observations were
wholly insufficient to warrant a ver-
dict that he discovered the North Pole.
The consistory of the university
thereby fatty rejecting DR.. Cook s
claims and throwing out his records and
observations.
Cook IS data, according to the report,
is no more convincing than was the
newspaper account.
DR.. Cooks private secretary, Ions
dale, who represented the explorer here,
is bitterly disappointed at the verdict.
He is making an effort to induce the
consistory to withhold final judgment
until the whole of DR.. Cook 8 data can
he presented.
Lonsdale told the committee that
missing data, which are part of DR..
Cooks original documents, were sent
here from America by route differ
ent from that by which the records
already examined were brought. He
said this additional data would arrive
in few days.
The consistory refuses to pay any
attention to Lonsdale's appeal and the
findings announced today are final SO
far as the consistory is concerned.
The discrediting Of DR.. Cook was a
severe blow to the Danish scientists,
who had stood firmly by him and given
him support under the charges made by
Commander Peary. The great recep-
tion given DR.. Cook upon his arrival
here and the honors that were paid
him by high and low, including the
king, are recalled with somewhat open
ly displayed chagrin.
1t is known that the Danish experts
were personally inclined to favor Dr.
Cook, most of them already having
come out in statements tending to sub
stantiate his claims.
A member of the committee today
said:
"It took the committee but a few
minutes to see that DR.. Cooks obser-
vations and so-called records were
worthless.
"We could have reported immedi-
ately, but it took several days to re.
cover from the surprise.
'The so-called notebooks on which
DR.. Cook relied in a great measure for
vindication had only accounts of his
observations, rather than the observa-
tions themselves. These notebooks were
thrown aside without moments con-
sideration.
"I cannot understand how a man of
Cooks reputed scientific attainments
could have attempted to bolster up his
claims with such flimsy evidence.

CHRISTMAS GIFT COST S75O,Ooo.
George D. Widener Presents Wife With
Pearl Collection.

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 23.-Probably
the most splendid and costly Christmas
gift that any woman in the world will
receive this year will be rope of mag
nificent pearls, costing $75o,0oo, which
George D. Widener will present to his
wife, who was Miss Eleanor Elkins,
daughter of the late William Elkins,
traction magnate.
1t is said to be the most costly string
of pearls in the world, and at a recent
sale in New York brought the highest
price received for pearl necklaces.
1t is said Widener intended the rope
of gems some of which are nearly as
large as pigeon eggs, and sufficient for
a kings ransom, as a surprise for his
wife. but the news of his intended gift
has leaked out.
1t is probable that society will soon
have an opportunity to admire at first
hand what is said to be the finest col
lection of pearls, gem for gem, that any
woman has been privileged to wear.

Washington, Dec. 21.-The depart

EXPORTS DROP ONE MILLION.
French Tariff Seriously Affects Ameri
can Oil Products.

Washington, Dec 24.-Alarmed by a
drop from $lO0O,OO0 to $26.363 in min
eral oil exports to France in a month
American oil exporters have begun a
movement to induce congress to renew
with the French government the reel
procity treaty that expired on October
81. Exporters also hope for the re
newal of the treaty with Spain, large
importer of American OIL which will
expire on August 81, 1910.
Exports to Canada nnder the opera
ton of the new tariff law have not been
compiled by the bureau of statistics of
the department of commerce and labor.
but indications are that they will show
relatively as great falling off in oil
exports as those to France.
. Notwithstanding the abrogaton of
the reciprocity treaty with France, re
ports to the bureau for November, the
first month under the new order of
things, show larger totals in both i'm
ports and exports than in the CORE
spending month of last year. Raw cot
ton, which is imported into France free
of duty. and hence is not affected by
the tariff changes, is largely responsible
for the increase IN exports. while art
works 90 years old and over, admitted
free under the new law. and diamonds
and hides were responsible for the in
creased imports.
The falling off in imports of cham
pagne from France, due to the in
creased tariff, was most marked, declin-
ing from $5s4,674 in November, 1908,
to $5S.062 in November, 1909.

AIRsHIP APPEARS AT NIGHT.
Mysterious Craft, Carrying Powerful
Searchlight, Is Seen.

Worcester, Mass, Dec. 24.-Flying at
80 to 40 miles an hour, a mysteri
Gus airship tonight appeared over
Worcester, lowered over the city few
minutes, disappeared for about two
hours, and then returned to cut -four
circles about the city, using a search
light of tremendous power. Thousands
of persons thronged the streets to watch
the mysterious visitor
The airship remained over the city
for 10 minutes, all the time at height
that most observers set at about 1000
feet, too great to enable even it's pre-
else shape to be seen. The glaring rays
of its great searchlight, however, were
sharply defined. The dark mass of the
ship could be seen dimly
At the time of the airship visit, Wal
lace f. Tillinghast, Worcester man,
marvellous aeroplane, in which he said
he had journeyed to New York and re-
turned by way of Boston, was absent
from his home and could not be found.
The visitor from the clouds was first
sighted over Marlborough at 5:2o
Clock The 16 miles between this city
and Marlborough were covered in 30
minutes.
Two hours later an eager shout from
the waiting crowds announced its re-
turn. Slowly it's light swept the heav,
ems. 1t circled four times above the
city and then disappeared finally head,

ZELAYA'S RULE ENDS.
Madriz Assumes Presidency of Nicara-
guam Republic.

Managua, Nicaragua, Dec. 22.-Jose
Madriz today assumed the presidency
of Nicaragua, succeeding former Pres
ident Zelaya, who resigned.
Madriz's recent threats to break
with Zelaya, coupled with his subse
quent announcement that his presi,
Dental candidacy was supported by
the Mexican government, which had
sent Senor Creel to Washington to in
tercede in his behalf, is construed by
his supporters to mean that he will be
president in fact as well as in name,
and that he intends to give the coun-
try new deal.
Americans here, however, are not in.
clined to accept this opinion. They be-
leve the new president is pretending
to want peace, in order to preclude the
possibility of intervention on the part
of the United States.
Madriz has promised the revolution.
lists immunity if they will surrender
He has intimated that he will place
Provisional President Estrada in high
office
Bluefelds, Nicaragua, Dec. 22.-Re-
ports from Rama today say Estrada 3
army is advancing against General Vas
quez, just outside Rama, and that a
battle is expected Immediately. This
is the first decisive move on the part
of the revolutionists against the elec-
tion of Madriz as successor of Zelaya
as president. The formal protest against
the election of Madriz will be based
upon the fact that the Atlantic coast
departments were not represented in
the congress that elected Madriz.
Under Estrada, in the impending bat
tie, will be Generals Luis, Diaz, Mana
feen, Matuty, Pacho and Chamorro.
1t is reported today that the gunboat
Blanca has sailed up the Mico river.
