Printer Finds Money in Sleep.
ing Car; He Doesn't Know
What to do With 1t.

New Orleans, La, May 18.-Wha
would you do if You, an honest per
son, found tWenty-one nice, crisp ten
dollar bills, and, desiring to return
them to the person who lost them
could not find the person nor anyone
who could lay proper claim to the
missing money and give the requisite
description?
A certain Well-known printer Of
New Orleans recently found in a
sleeping car a nice little sum Of mon
ey. Maybe 1t was no exactly S2l0,
and maybe it wasn't all in ten-dollar
bills. But. at any rate, he wanted to
return The money to the proper per-
son. It was late at night when he
found the money, and he immediately
went through the car trying to find
the owner. He woke up those who
were asleep, and some Of those
awakened became angry at being
awakened. But he didn't find the
person. The conductor and the
porter were called into consultation,
and they, with the man who found
the money, went through the train
without succeeding in finding the
person who lost the bills.
The printer was on his way to Ope.
lousas to attend the meeting Of the
press c invention. but none
of the delegates had lost the money
they could recover by describing it.
This, Of course, afforded considerable
mirth, and some of the delegates
thought it was a joke to suggest
that newspaper people ever had
enough money to lose. When the
typo returned to New Orleans he
notified the railroad office here Of his
ind, but the company had received
40 complaint Of such a lost.
An advertisement was inserted in
newspapers. Two responses were
'eceived. One was from d man out
who failed to give anything
ike a plausible explanation or a des-
Of either the amount or shape
{ was in. The other response was
rom an attorney, who wrote that he
lad been instructed by d certain
lent to bring suit against the print
+ for the return Of the money if It
we're not turned over to the attorney.
he attorney neglected to state the
am on give other particulars that
lould lead one to believe that he
new much about the money, and his
hreat was not Needed.
Meantime the printer has the mons
J and doesn't know what 60 do with
!. He wants TO return it to the one
.ho lost it, and he does not care til !
pEropfiate it 10 bis own use, as the
ser might turn up some day.
What would sou do?

TAX ON raw LUMBER.
is Favored By Conservative Chiefs al Baton
Rouge.

Baton Rouge, La, May 16.-Con.
fronted with the problem Of raising
funds with which to carry out its
ideas relative TO the conservation Oh
the forests, gas and oil resources OF
the state. the State Conservation
Commission, at its meeting here,
decided to favor the adoption of d
constitutional amendment so that the
raw lumber manufacturing industry
may be taxed.
Under the present Constitution,
and under the Jurisprudence of the
state. the manufactures is exempt
from the license, and the commission
proposes to put before the people a
constitutional amendment 10 order to
do away with the theory that the
manufacturer Of raw lumber as a
business is exempt from taxation.
It was pointed out by a member of
the commission that it is the theory
of the eonservationist that insofar as
the forests are concerned the indus
trial operator ought to pay something
to the state for the privilege of man
ufacturing one Of its natural resources
on the ground that he is destroying
more taxable property than he is Gre
It was further pointed out
that in the morning an acre Of raw
land may be worth $40, and
By sunset, having been cut over, it,
may not be worth more than 81. The
is held that the operator can
not well justify a position that he
should not be taxed at all.
It is also the theory of the com
mission that the same sort of legis
alton should apply to gas and oil.
The meeting was attended By
Henry e. Hardiner, president; H. B.
Gamble, secretary; w. e. Glassell, of
Shreveport; Justin F. Denechaud, of
Jew Orleans; F. NJ. Kerr, chef of
he State Board Of Engineers, and

its a good thing that this is 80 because
he has a great variety TO select from.
He should, however, use great care
IN selecting for the best results in
health and strength.
The widespread tendency in the city
to increase the amount of Quaker
Scotch Oats eaten IS due very largely
to the recent demonstrations by scfen-
ti6c men that the Quaker Scotch Oats
fed man is the man with greatest
physical endurance and greatest men-
tai yigor.
Farmers should give this subject
careful thought and should increase
the quantity of Quaker Scotch Oats

The COMET DIDN'T HT
Us And The WORLD
STILL NAGS.
Astronomers Evidently Failed
to Diagnose the Case, But
1T Is Said Danger Is
Not Over.

Princeton, N. j., May, 19.-Prof
Henry Norris Russell of the astro-
nomieal department. Of Princeton
University, in a signed statement tC
the Associated Press to-day, declared
that, basing his calculations on the
width Of the comets tail early TO-
day, as compared with previous morn
ings. the earth was not near enough
to pass through the tail Of the comet
this morning, but very likely it will
do so some time tonight, probably
on the morning of May 20.
Prof. Russell at 2:45 a.. m. noticed
a distinct streak Of light in the east
that resembled the milky way. He
then came to the conclusion that the
earth had not passed through the
comets tail, because the tail was
curved away from US and that the
sun would be well above the horizon
when the passage was made. Al
that time he said the head of the
comet had passed the distance of the
sun and was we'll on the other side
of the sun. Shortly after 3 a. N.
the light in the east disappeared.
MI. Russell said most astronomers
had not observed the tail was curved
because they had been looking at the
tail edge.
TAIL STILL IN SIGHT.
New Haven, Conn.,, May 19.-The
tail of the comet was seen from Yale
Observatory after the moon set this
morning. 1t was a faint glow, de-
Veloped to sixty degrees in the north
east sky. Director Elkin of the OBJ
serVatorY says that at that time the
earth had not passed through the
tail, although he believes the comet
made its transit of the sun at the
time fixed. He believes the earth
has now passed through the tail.
Passages would be from six to
twelve hours. The explanation in
observing the tail this morning was
that it SO greatly bent back, or
curved that the tail could not keep
up with the head. The tail may be
seen to-nighs in the Western sky be-
Gemini.

TIE q I

The committee on printing of the
Louisiana Legislature has reported
f~ayorably a bill introduced by HOP. F.
G. Claiborne, fixing the salary Of Par
ISL and Municipal printers, and pro
viding for their election BY these
bodies.
1t seems that it was an oversight
on the part of the members of the
Legislature at its last session in re-
pealing the very fair and equitable
law Of 1894, which provided for the
election Of public printers, and the
members are now apparently anxious
TO correct their error, and restoring
the newspaper man to the same foot
ing as other officers.
The law as it now stands is pre-
p~osterous. Anybody can jump up a
newspaper and bid for public work
against an established newspaper of
standing, forcing the latter, in every
instance where there is no COM
bfnatiOn, to do the work for nothing.
A newspaper Of $50 circulation can
compete with a newspaper Of 5000
circulation, with the result that a
large majority Of the people suffer in
that the paper which they read does
not contain the doings of the official
bodies Of parish and towns.
The newspaper does more general
good to the country than any other
agency, more free work, more public
service without compensation. Why
this factor for good be selected by
the lawmakers to bear the brunt Of
a false idea of economy is not easily
explainable, in the face Of the fact
that the clerk, the treasurer, and
even the janitor, is paid a fixed salary,
and never asked to submit bids"
The Clarion remembers when a
candidate for parish treasurer IN this
parish offered to take the work for d
very low sum Of money. and was
promptly turned down.
Another time a candidate ran for
sheriff Of st. Landry on the platform
that be would give every cent Of bis
salary above $500 to the public
schools. He received some $50 votes
id the entire parish. The people did
not want him. He was cheap" and
service, whether in individual :
or in public business, is never
reliable. I
Labor is worthy Of his hire
Capital is organized, but unfortu- !
labor is busy each day devising !
means Of cutting each others Threats. !
And then they set UP a howl be- t
cause capital is on top. y
Economy is good and well in all !
!
But there should be q limit to even ,
economy. a
Working for nothing is q burned :
ooor job. :
The Clarion trusts that the Legis-
ature will treat the newspapers Of Il
bis State with proper consideration. 7
