DIED..


At the home of her SOD, Mr.. Sc.
vigne Bien venu, Mrs. Sevlgne
Bienvenu, nee Nathalie Judice,
died at 1920 o'clock Friday night
May 18th, at the age of 72 years
4 mouths and % days.
Mrs. Bienvenu was an invalid
for many years, in fact, we do not
believe she ever enjoyed good
health for many years, although
she was not bed-ridden, but was
able to move around and attend
services at the Catholic Church,
but feeble and always a sufferer.
Mrs. Bienvenu was a woman
much devoted to her religion,
faithful to the Catholic Church
and most of her time was spent
either at the church or in prayers.
She leaves two daughters and a
son and two sisters to mour her
death.
She was buried at half past five
O'Clock Saturday evening, and her
funeral was largely attended by
relatives and friends.
During the past week Mr.. Frank
L. Guilbeau brought to the Bank
of st. Martinville some onion and
garlic raised in bis garden. They
were remarkable on account of
their sizes. but this display has
brought many samples from diff
ferent persons. and so numerous
are they, that we must consider
that our soil is remarkably we'll
adaptable for the cultivation of
truck. We do not believe that
any section of this state can sur.
pass in size and flavor, the vegeta.
bles that have been raise around |
st. Martinville this year.

Fight FANS Wild TO
SEE STANLEY and sam

Boston, Aug. 1O.-Joe woorman,

York where he has been completing
arrangements for the Dout between his
scrapper and Stanley ketcheI. which

Friday, Sept. 8, instee,d of Labor day
as was originally plasned.
A special train will leave BOSTON on
FRIDAY afternoon at 3 O'clock and will
arrive In time for the bout that eve-
ming. The train will come back TO
Boston immediately after the bout
has been decided. That is Just TO the
liking of the 300 or more sports of
this city who will go to see the fight.
for they are anxious to see the Bos-
ton colored walloper mix with the
youngster from Grand Rapids Mich,
who holds the middleweight title.
Manager Woodrnan reports that the
seat sale for the bout is the largest on
record for years in New York city.
and he says that fully week before
the day of the fight there will not be
a seat obtafuable. The prices to the
mill are $40, $40, $50 and $35 for box
seats.
Many orders for boxes have already
been received. John w. Gates has
purchased two boxes, and Dave john
son. owner of the well known sprinter,
Rose Ben and many other horses, has
ordered three.
Manager Woodman said:
Il haven't the slightest doubt that
the seat sale of this bout will exceed
that Of the Philadelphia Jack O'Brien-
Ketchel, which was certainly a large
one. Half the house is gone already
and the rest is going like hot cakes.
sam is UP at Northboro, Mass,
getting in trim for the contest by
moving and pitching hay, and doing
all sorts of garden work. Digging
potatoes seems to be rs much in his
line as developing wallops, and +

ASSOCIATION MAY
INVADE THE EAST

Boston, Aug. 10.-The baseball mag
mates are pretty well satisfied that the
American association is already plan
ming to invade some of the sacred
territory of the major leagues There
is no doubt but, that Chicago Is the
city the class "A" minor league in
tends 10 invade at all cost. To OBJ
tain a foothold in Chicago and at the
same time remain under the national
agreement. would be the agreeable side
of the question now troubling Messrs.
Havenor, Tebeau, Watkins and one or
two others.
To bring this about it might be nee
essary to make a play for two or
three other cities now In the major
league circuit, such as Pittsburg and
Cincinnati, for 1t has been demonstrate
ed to the satisfaction of every fair
minded baseball man that a city which
can afford one major league club can
just as well support two--in fact, the
two clubs with non-con1icting dates

HanIon isS Ready.
While Mr.. Drefuss has given the
Piutsburg fans first class ball for a
number of years, yet there is an army
OF people in that city anxious to back
an opposition club, working perhaps
on the popular price idea the seduc-
tive war cry used so effectively by the
American league stronghold eight
years ago last winter.
If the association cares to come east
there Is no doubt but that Edward
Hanlon stands ready to swing Balti-
more into line, and nothing would
please the fans of the Oriole city any
more than to get gack with the big
circus. Folks down there look on the
Eastern league as a sort of one-ring
circus, while major league would APP
peal to the Baltimore fans as a three-
ring affair. Mr.. Hanlon has the money,
and brains to place Baltimore in the
running and has always stood close 10
the powers that be In the west
Mr.. Hanlon also stands strong in
Pittsburg and should the new combi-
ma zion not care for the Oriole city, Ed

wealth, and brains for the move ahead
