Generous Donors.

The Genevieve Orphanage has al
ways been the beneficiary of the
generous people of our city-the
merchants, butchers, bakers and
householders have seen to it that
the children do not lack for the
comforts of food and clothing.
Thanks for donations were ex-
pressed at recent board meeting Of
the orphanage to the Ricou Grocery
Company and to Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Bonano for their acceptable and
generous donations during the year.
A list of all the kind friends of the
orphanage would enroll hundreds OF
names-and these from time to time
have been given.

The folder and the announcement
of the Louisiana State University
are among the most interesting OF
the many catalogues OF colleges and
universities with which we are faVs
ored. The folder contains ten hand
some views of buildings and grounds
beginning with beautiful perspec-
tive of University avenue with It's
broad driveway and stately trees. A
full front view of Alumni Memorial
hall shows Grecian simplicity in the
style of architecture. Then there is
the presidents residence, with broad
oak shaded verandas encircling the
house and view of Foster Hall seen
through interlacing foliage, followed
by Oak avenue, inviting the student
to mediate where the grove with
bCughs outrageous bends.
The Hill Memorial Library with
its dome of simple classical frieze
and setting of closely trimmed ever
greens is another handsome view;
then the big building of the me-
chanic arts workshop with its hun
dred windows, front and back, and
many roof-windows shows where
the hand learns the skill of doing
things. The chemical laboratory,
Heard Hall, physics and electrical
laboratory follow The laboratory
and residence OF the sugar expert
ment stations behind a fascinating
screen of foliage and tree draperles
over beautiful gray moss is particu-
larly interesting, as the Louisiana
sugar experiment station is the only
one in the United States. Four years
work at the station equips young
man as sugar chemist and at once
positions of responsibility and profit
are open to him. In California, Cuba,
Hawaii, the Philippines and Louis
lana graduates in sugar chemistry
are found, employed at big salaries.
The aim of the Audubon Sugar
School is to prepare men as experts
in sugar growing and manufacture.
The course combines work of the
college of engineering and agricul-
ture and leads to the degree OF
bachelor of science. The theoretical
instruction is given at the univer-
sity, and the practical instruction
covers ten weeks during the grind
ing season spent at the sugar exper-
iment station at Audubon Park.
Here the student receives instruc-
ton in the best methods of growing
cane and takes part in the making
of sugar.
The university is organized at
present into the following schools
and colleges: College of Arts and
Sciences, College of Agriculture,
College of Engineering, Audubon So
gar school, law school, teachers col
lege, graduate department, summer
school.

him but Wilson appealed to the peo-
pie with such success that the bill
is now law. 1t provides for the di-
rect nomination and election of all Of

tional conventions.
Election officials are compelled to
pass q civil service examination to
place their applications, thus prevent

machine to control elections by the
use OF the voting machinery.
Then drastic corrupt practices act
was put through which limits the
amount of money that can be expend-
ed by candidates and party organiza-
tons and says just what kind of ex-
penditures are legal and what are not.
This bill Is claimed by its friends to
be the most sweeping ever enacted
In America.
An employers liability bill, modelled
along the line of the English law, and
absolutely eliminating the fellow SER

given the big corporations an unfair
advantage In all suits by injured en-

In Meantime Liquor Committee Holds
Up Hartman's Application.


Until Stenographer Edward Daniel.
In Judge Hosmers court, digs up his
notes and finds just what opinion was
given i'm the Addison hotel cases, the
common council liquor committee will
be unable to decide whether license
should be granted TO the Hartman
saloon, at No. 1904 Michigan-ave.
The point in the Addison case was
whether. In computing the distance OF
the bar entrance from church en-.
trance, the measurement should be
direct along the curb line. IL Is prac-
tlcally certain that Judge Hosmer de-
cided that bee line was the basis
OF measurement. but the opinion was
given orally When the owner OF the
Addison apartment went TO the SUI

William Tarsney, clerk in the cor

Lansing for information on the mat
ter and received the following reply.
Saturday: Motion denied. Opinion
of Judge Hosmer was correct"
In neither Lansing nor Detroit does
the opinion exist In writing. The
question in the Michigan-ave. case Is
whether the saloon is within 400 feet
OF the wilkins school.
