of wells on the Lake-Grow COmpany'S

proved of considerable interest. If
the party had arrived only a little
while sooner it would have been just
in time to witness an unsuccessful at
tempt to pull out a screen from the
Eegnaud we'll No. g. which has not
been giving much oil of late, owing
to difficulties with the plumbing. The
train then went on to Breaux Bridge,
where about fifty citizens got aboard.
After leaving Breaux Bridge the new
read passes through a very rich and
fertile territory, beautiful black soil
that would raise anything indigen-
GUS to the temperate Zone. From
this little stretch Of country alone
the road will probably reap enough
business in a few decades to pay for
the cost of the CONSTITUTIONAL
though this cost is evidently Of great
magnitude. Indeed, comparisons were
made as the train went along over
high fills" in the deep swamp> be-
yOnd the black lands referred to
work hat evidently involved the
hauling and dumping of millions Of
cubic yards of dirt -likening this her
culean task to the building Of the
pyramids or the Claudian aqueduct.
Nowhere in the State could better
evidence be found Of the statement
that Louisiana has more waterways
than any other State. The waterways
between Breaux Bridge and the Atch-
afalaya would be enough to irrigate
the whole continent. Immense guam
titles Of wood were lying along the
line of the track, which had to be
cut for some distance from the track
to prevent possible blowing down of
trees across the track. There is ap-
parently enough wood going to waste
there to furnish fuel for this section
Of the State for ten years. Choppers
are beginning operations and occa-
sional piles of wood and boards are
to be seer lifted high on platforms to
prevent their floating off in time of
high water. After every little stretch
of wooded swamp anothr stream
opens to view, stretching out all COW
cred with water lilies and looking like
a street or broad e The most
interesting Of these streams, before
reaching the Atchafalaya, is crossed

Atchafalaya

The work on the A~tchafalaya
bridge has gone as far as the COM
pIetion Of the great ard magnificent
concrete pies whica are to support
the structure. An immense circular
pier about thirty feet in diameter will
carry the draw or turn-table part OF
the bridge and the next pier is ellipti-
cal in shape similar to the piers
which carry the bridge at Berwick
Bay. Everybody got out at the river
and walked all along the bank. Some
fishermen had just made a miraculous
draft Of fish, which they sold at the
m%arvelously lew price Of 5 cents for
sizes that weighed about five pounds
and 40 cents fer sizes of ten pounds
and more. Everybody brought home
fish; it is certain that many a court
bouilicu was eaten in Lafayette and
Breaux Bridge yeste:day-more than
in six months before. The return
trip was ureventful, except for the
telling of some fair to medium yarns
up and down the train. AS a genera
result it may be concluded that the
local public will hold on to its good
humor with the Southern Pacific for
some time to come. as it now feels
that it will in another year or two

management of the road and that
there was no real hurry about getting
the work done. But all such ideas as
this were dispelled from the minds OF
those who took in the free excursion

1.-THE Lily and the Prince"

Harmony with the stage settings
has been the plans Of the manage
ment with regard to costumes in Mil
dred Hollands greatest success, the
beautiful romantic drama, THE Lily
and The Prince"
In the first act, representing a Flo
entine rose garden, Miss Marguerite
Blake will appear as Angela di Sa-
velli in a gown of imported pink and
white silk embroidered with red roses
and green foliage. In style it is grace
full, of a princess mode, and opens
over a front of heavy pink silk, v
cred with rich hand embroidery.
From accurate details, the quaint pat
tern of silk is well suited to the period
and moreover lends a distinctly
graceful and girlish appearance to the
wearer. In the next act, in which
the heroine starts out to secure the
release of her father, unjustly i'm
prisoned, she wear a creation of soft,
clinging black crepe, set of by trim
mings of black sequins. A gown of
plain white silk crepe. with a cape of
grey silk of soft hue, lined with rich
yellow brocade and edged with white
fur, garbs the actress in her scene in
the somber council chamber in the
third act. An art gallery of ample
proportions is represented In the
fourth act, and the costume for this
setting is a work Of art from a Paris
ian modiste and is Of delicate blue
silk, appliqued deliberately with de-
signs in silver.
