TODAY IN HISTORY

April 4, 1864, Grand Ecore, La,
flashed out glorious but brief ex-
perience as the center of all at
tention in the United States,
although it turned out to be
as big bunco as the Juarez
race track. Whatever Grand
Ecore meant before that it has
meant grand failure since, for il
was there that the union army un-
der Gen. Banks was Joined that
day by the union fleet under Ad-
miral Porter. While on the land,
and habitable by an army, Grand
Ecore faces the water-and II
there was water enough, could en-
tertain a navy. But its river was
about half out of water at that
time and the fleet of gunboats
had some difficulty in getting out
again without having theiS noses
scorched. The Red river expedi-
ton, of which Grand Ecore was
the unexplained climax, is gen.
orally conceded to have been one
of the most hopeless failures.

President James O'Connell is
