is now the site of one of the largest and
most noted Normal schools. in the coun-
try. So, for a time, there was no cath
Ole school here, but Bishop Durier in
vited the Sisters of Divine Providence
to come here and reopen a school. He
built neat buildings, both for the white
and negro children. The original build
ig for the white school was subsequent
" converted into a dormitory and a
handsome brick structure was erected
for school purposes. It is a large and
progressive school today, known as st
Mary's Academy. The accompanying cut
shows the old building to the right, the
brick building used for school purposes
in the middle, and the convent or main
living apartments, to the left The school
for negro children is not shown. He
also erected a handsome residence for
himself and attndants
At the death of Bishop Durier ii
1901. the Rev. Cornelias Van de Ven of
Baton Rouge was consecrated bishop.
Young and energetic, he is an enthusi-
astic worker and has done much to
imbue his congregation with religious
feryor. He has had the interior of the
cathedral handsomely decorated by
competent artists from New Orleans,
and-tlse old fashioned windows replaced
with stained glass
Today St. Francis Cathedral is one
Of the handsoinest in the State. It is
one of the landmarks Of the United
States as it existed before the Declar-
alton Of independence. In no place can
there be found a more perfect record
than in the archives of the old parish
house of the cathedral
It is the earnest hope of the congre-
cation that Bishop Van de Ven viii per-
nit his vicar general, the Rev, A. Pic
gay TO remain here nd act as their pas
tor. He was ordained priest in this
city twenty years ago and has resided in
and been identified with this community
ever since.

which has sent prices soaring skyward

His vote for a tariff on lumber es,

vote for tariff on lumber, in opposition
to the demand of the Democratic plat

slap in the face of Democracy, and a
Reputation of the platform of his party
His vote for tariff on lumber was
a declaration to every farmer, merchant
laborer, church or school, that he fav-
ored them paying the amount of that
tariff to the lumber trust in order that
it might thrive and grow fat on the
riches of the land
And yet he was free trader when it
came to the duty on hides, which he
voted to remove, duty or tariff which
enabled every farmer to sell his COW
hides at a higher price, and this under
the pretense that it meant cheaper shoes,
cheaper leather, cheaper betting, etc,
but the fact is THAT THE PRICE OF

FORTY PER CENT.

that the, old theory that ice water is in
furious has long been exploded, and that
the more of it people drink in summer
time the better it is for them. They go
farther and say that the people in the
South do not drink enough water.
Like many other old theories, the
theory that ice water was injurious to
the health has been exploded said a
prominent physicinan. Until recently
water was considered injurious to fy-
phoid fever patients, but now we sponge
them with ice water.
THE only instance when ice water
would possibly be considered injurious
would be in large quantities at meals or
when a person was oyerheated Ice wa

tendency TO decrease the activity Of the
organs until the chill has been removed,
but as the water warns up quickly, the
effect IS but nomentary. When taken in
large quantities at meals it has ten-
dency to dilute the gastric juices, pre-
venting complete digestion. Taken in
large quantities when overheated it pro-
duees at times too sudden a reaction.
People in the South do not drink enough

Of country church who preached upon
the theme, You can't keep a good man

always took his text from s'the word,
and the people were curious to know
where he would find such text in the
Bible. He arose with deliberation while
the congregation waited breathlessly,

What Il Will Cost.

For the benefit Of those who wish to
join the home going to Ireland this
summer, the following information is
given by Joseph D. Sullivan, secretary
Of the Irish Home Going Association:
The cost of the trip will depend upon
the individual taste and economy of
the various persons making it, No
universal rule can be laid down in
that matter. No one is advised to
make the trip with less than $3.50.
Rates of passage vary greatly, accord
ing to the steamer and the time of
sailing. The average rate in the first
class is ss7.5o each way; in the Sec
ond class, $3.50 each way, and in
the third class, $33.75 each way Mem
bers of the association will be espe-
cially we'll cared for at low rates in
first and second class before May goth
and after July 10th, eastbound. and
before August list and after October
18th, westbound. The usual privileges
will be given with the passage as to
baggage, etc. Concessions from rail-
roads and hotels in Ireland in rates
have been asked by the association,
and are expected. What these con-
cessions will be, if granted, it is i'm
possible to say.
No one connected with the associa-
ton receives any compensation. They
have devoted their energy, time and in
most instances money to promote the
movement through desire to do some
thing of benefit to the land that they
love.
