Mrs. James A. Frost.

Mrs. james A. Frost, pro-
minent lady, highly esteemed by
all who know her, breathed her
last at her home last Tuesday
afternoon. AS we went to
press early that afternoon We
were una BILE to chronicle her sad
demise. She had been i'll for five
weeks and while her immediate
family realized the seriousness
of her indisposition 1T was not
known to her many friends and
came as shock and surprise.
| All that could be done by devoted
children was done to prolong
her life but the Almighty willed
| it that she should be taken from
those to whom she was devoted
and who loved her most and &C
cordingly her soul departed for
the shores where sorrow and
pain are unknown. She leaves
to mourn her loss several chill
dren, Mr.. William Fl. Frost, Miss
Noby, Rosa, and Mary Frost, Mrs.

Rev. Father Armand Dubourg,
pastor of the local Catholic Church,
left last Saturday for New York,
from which place he will in a few
days board a steamer for France,
where he expects to spend several
months recuperating in the noun
tains. His health in the last year
or so has not been the best, he be-
ing forced to remain in his room
for weeks at time. He felt he
needed several months recreation
and rest from the arduous work in
cumbent upon him as pastor
of the local church and felt that
an ocean voyage and vacation in the
country of his childhood would be
beneficial so he left Saturday.
On last Friday the students OF
Mt. Carmel Convent and the
Thibodaux College boys ten
dered him farewell receptions.
The most royal reception was
rendered them by the pastor, as
is always his custom. The col
lege boys brought their band
along with them and rendered
him a farewell serenade. This
band is under the direction and
instruction of Prof. L. j. Trone
of the college faculty and speaks
volumes for him. The music
these young boys, ranging from
nine To sixteen years, discourse
is worthy Of "a band Of men of
mature age. 1t is something
wonderful, deserving of CON-
mendation and boquets to Prof.
Trone are in order, when one
considers the fact that most OF
them are new as band men, only
having learned their notes and
never having touched wind in
strument or musical instru-
ment Of any kind previous to
last Septem ber. Whenever Bet
Trone takes band he either
forces the best that is in it or
let's it alone. 1t is to be regret.
ted that his concert band, which
had acquired state wide repu-
tation, should not have been
maintained.

City Hall
| Looks Good,
The appearance OF the grounds IN Iront
of the city hall have been improved con-
siderably.
Bob Naquin showed good taste when ne
made this move and deserves credit for
his progressiyeRess. aS
Other public buildings in town should be
Afforded the same opportunity TO I'M
prove surroundings.

The city hall, the old town hall
has recently taken on airs and
improved it's surroundings. The
fence in front of the place has
been removed and now the
grounds in front Of the building
are entirely open save for a
stone curbing On the edge of the
sidewalk. The two fountains on
either side of the main entrance
are being renovated and will
present a better appearances IN
the near future. This is a good
move and very com mendable ON
the part of Bob NAG uin, Chief of
Police and Street Commissioner,
who of late has shaken all
ancient airs off of the town and
injected several of his personal
views of progressiveness which
can only be for good. 1t is time
that things were happening here
We trust that the example he set
in improving or suggesting the
Improvement for the town will be
the incentive to the same I'M
provenents being made around
other public buildings in town:
After the court house is remodel
led we trust the fence will he re
moved and the surrounding
ground properly beautitied in
keeping with the building, as we
have always suggested.
AS yet, not one state In the conIl
try has made adequate provision
for it's cOnsumptives. New York
has set itself the task of having.
"No uncared for Tuberculosis in
1916, aud several cities in other
parts of the country have adopted
similar programs. The National
Association says that tuberculosis
will not be stamped out until all
cases of this disease are cared for
either in their homes or in institn-
tions. With this end in view, ef
forts will be made to incTe ease the
number of hospital beds in this
country to at least $4,000 by May
1st, 1911.

The Catholic Knights in state
convention assembled here last
week closed their deliberations on
Wednesday night, after two days
of strenuous work interspersed with
much pleasure and entertainment
for the delegates. Thibodaux did
itself proud through the efforts of
st. Charles Branch and st. AIMS
Branch. At the business ses-
sion Wednesday resolutions of
thanks were adopted, thanking the
good sisters of Mt. Carmel for cour-
tesies extended aswell as the people
of the town for their hospitality. A
special resolution endorsing New
Orleans as the logical point for the
holding of the Panma Exposition
was also adopted unanimously.
The election of officers for. the
ensuing year was as follows: James
Higgins, Algiers, President; Leo
Turregano, Vice. President; Mrs.
John J. Pierson, second vice presi-
dent; Hon. Thomas A. Badeaux,
Secretary; Thomas Trower, New
Orleans, Treasurer. Morgan City
was selected as the place for hol--
ing next years convention. This
convention was one of the most
successful the order has ever had,
and out of thirty two branches in
the state, thirty one were lepresen-
ted. Much enthusiasm was created
and all returned home with renewed
determination to double the rank
and file of the order.
On Wednesday night at the
convent auditorium the following
program was offered Piano Duet
"Salut Pesth, misses Noemie
and Celine Legendre; Song ''The
wreck of the Good ShipLove, "Guy
j. Knobloch; Song"Foxy Moon,
little Misses Maud Billiu and
Marguerite Pierson, which
brought forth an encore that was
equally as good as the first
mum Der and which showed the
latent talent in those two young
children ranking them with pro-
digies. "Silly Willie's Visit" a
one act playlet interpreted most
splendidly by Master j. Russell
Badeaux and Little Miss Ed wilma
Toups was all ginger and showed
two well trained characters. The
young lady particularly, as this
was her first appearance. Ba--
deaux had previous good records
to his credit but was none the
less appreciated. Miss Pauline
Aucoin then sang. "As the world
rolls ON "in most excellent N M
ner and brought forth applause.
"Nobody knows, nobody cares"
was well rendered by j. Louis
Aucoin and this was followed by
MIR. Emile Aucoin with his rich
voice in"If I only had the World
to give you" forcing another song
as an encore which was equally
as we'll received. The evenings
entertainment ended with bit
of nonsense by Guy Knobloch in
black face and Louis Aucoin in
white under the caption" Just
a moment with Knobloch and Au
coin, Their jokes were well re-
ceived as was their song as a IT,

The strong hands of political bosses In
the free state Of Jefferson eliminates in
an empty jack pot with the winners
losing out.
+. u. S. District Attorney Charlton r.
Beattie makes a good case and the
jury convicts two out OF six.

The little hornets nest raised
over several political bosses and
hench men in the free state. of JET
ferson, in the town of Kenner, which
resulted in one Stiles cutting Col.
E. A. O'Sullivan's beard on the
morning of an election, when this
gentleman went to the polls to vote
for his choice for candidate for the
Mayor of that town and to vote for
a Congressman, resulted in con-
viction before the United States
court last week. in which all the ag-
gressors and assaulters were char
ged with conspiracy and interfering
withelectors at a congressionalelec-
ton. United States District At
torney, the Hon. Charlton R. Beat
tie of Thibodaux, made strong
case and a jury of Conscientious
men returnedthe verdict according
ly, convcting one Paul and one
Stiles, one boss of the town and
the other Marero's deputy sheriff,
guilty as charged. Judge Boarman
relented at the last minute and
showed leniency to one OF the par
ties playing the baby act, after all
bars were let down, he changed a
sentence from one year in the Fed
eral Penitentiary to one thousand
dollars fine and eleven months Jail
for Stiles and six months Jail and
$500 fine for Paul. Jail in the Pa
rish of St. James. The result of
this trial will be far reaching. We
will express ourselves further next
week, but in the meantime tip our
hats to Friend Charlton and congra-
tulate him on his excellent work in
such worthy cause. Would that
a few more could be sent to Jail,
possibly we would get an honest
electorate uninfluenced by revol-
vered bullies. Paul opposed Sui
livan's candidate for Mayor and by
bully tactics kept the vote way, a
common practice in Louisiana. col.
O'Sullivan, up to recently a fellow
townsman, would not be bullied
and while yielding to the numbers
against him sought justice where
he knew he could find it. The ver-
dict has vindicated his courage and
bravery.
