State Senator J. S. Brady, OF Wag-
gaman5 and his son, z. 2. Brady, pres
ident of the Alluvial Land Purchase
Company, of New Orleans, were
prominent visitors to DonaldsonVllle
Wednesday, and, accompanied by
George E. Bent, local representative
of the Alluvial Company, paid this Of
flee a pleasant call. MIR. Brady,
junior, informed us that his COM
pany. which is exploiting the New
Hermitage farms and st. Elmo town
site in this parish, opposite Donald
sonville, contemplates building a
three-mile railroad on the property
to connect with the private line OF
the Belle Helene plantation, which
touches the main line of the MIS-
sissippi Valley at Belle Helene sta
tion, and then runs due east to WITH
in one mile Of Edenborn, on the
L. r. and n Company's line. This
one-mile gap will be closed up, and
as a result st. Elmo will be made
the terminus Of a line having con
nections with two trunk railroads.
sMr. Brady states that large mum
Der of New Hermitage farms and St
Elmo lots have been sold during the
past month, and several of the pur-
chasers have assumed possession OF
their respective properties. Steps
have been taken to have a postoftlce
established at st. Elmo, and definite
action in the matter is expected
shortly.
Mr.. Bent, the courteous and en-
terprising local representative of the
Alluvial Company, who for the past
several months has had his office al
No. lis Railroad avenue, in this city
is preparing to move his head
quarters to st. Elmo, and a building

DRAINAGE CASE ON TRIAL.

Next Wednesday.
The case Of W. J. Tickling ct ais.
VS.. New River Drainage District,
which occupied the entire attention
of the district court at sessions held
on Thursday and Friday of last week,
was: resumed Thursday morning, and
another full day was consumed IN
the hearing of witnesses. After all
the testimony had been adduced,
court adjourned Thursday evening I'M
til 10 o'clock a. N. Wednesday, April
3, when the case will be argued.
The suit involves the validity of
the election held in the New River
drainage district. August / last, when
bonds to the amount of $4,000 were
voted for drainage purposes, these
bonds to be secured by a 5-mill ad
yalorem and 11-nill acreage tax to
extend forty years. 1t IS commended
by the plaintiffs that certain parties
who had a right to vote in this cleo
ton were deprived of the privilege
Of voting, and that other persons
not qualified were permitted to cast
ballots. The majority in favor OF
the tax, in number, was sixteen,
and the drainage board contends
that even if the allegations advanced
by the plaintiffs are true, which is
not admitted, the only effect will
be to reduce this majority to nine.
The total vote in the election was
22S, of which 122 votes were cast in
favor of the proposition, and 1O6
votes against it. The property fig
ures were: For, $74,935; against,
S50,53G.
The case has attracted wide at
tention, involving as it does prac-
ticaIly the entire area of the fertile
New River section Of the parish,
and the several hearings before the
district court have been attended
by large crowds. Another big attend
ance is expected next Wednesday,
when the arguments will be heard.

the ports Of the countries named. Yes
sels OF Spain, Austria, Italy, and several
other countries who are not parties to
the reciprocal arrangement must COM
ply, IL they touch American shores or do
business with American ports, with the
same rules or regulations as American
vessels.
Under the American law vessels Of 5000
to 1000 tons must provide I2I2O cubic
feet Of boat capacity, or, roughly speak
ing, % boats of about 80 feet long each.
For every 500 tons or fraction thereof
over 1000 tons, vessels must carry rs
cubic feet OF lifeboatage additional. Had
the Titanic complied with the United
States law instead Of that Of Great Brit
ain, Gen. Uhler says, she would have
carried Sufficient boatage to have taken
care OF 2,374 people. Under the law,
one-third Of this required boatsge ca

Gen UhIer yesterday stated that it

Of the numerous forms of luxurles
which in recent years the owners Of the

The general opinion among officials OF
the Steamboat Inspection Service and
other marine services here is that the
time had arrived. and not one moment
should be lost, for Congress to pass
legislation for the stricter control Of the
large passenger steamship lines flying
foreign flags, which reap such enormous
profits from the American public, but
which are not subject TO our laws in
any particular whatever.
AS will be seen, the Titanic, whose
certificate would have been accepted by
our inspection service when she arrived
in New York, obeyed the British law,
which allowed her to take care OF about

AN EASTER POEM.

The verses refer to the finding Of a
little seed by Lord Lindsay In the hand
Of an Egyptian mummy. where II had
been deposited twenty centuries before.
The seed was planted and brought forth
flower after its kind.
Two thousand years ago, a flower
Bloomed lightly in a far-oft land;
Two thousand years ago. its seed
Was placed within a dead mans hand.
Before the Saviour came to earth.
That man had lived and loved and died !;
And even in that far-off time.
The flower had spread its perfume
wide.
Suns rose and set, years came and went,
The dead hand kept its treasure well;
Nations were born and turned to dust,
p While life was hidden in that shell.
The shriveled hand is robbed at last.
The seed is buried in the earth:
When, 10! the life long hidden there
Into a glorious flower burst forth.
From such a seed when buried low;
Just such a flower In Egypt bloomed,
And died, 1000 years ago.
And will not He who watched the seed
And kept the life within the shell,
When those He loves are laid to rest.
Watch Ger their buried dust as well?
And will not He. from meath the sod
Cause something glorious to arise?
Aye, though II sleep 1000 years,
Yet all that buried dust shall rise.
Just such a face as greets you now,
Just such a form as here we bear.
Only more glorious far, will rise
To meet the Saviour in the air.
Then will lay me down in peace
When called to leave this vale of tears
For In my flesh shall I see Cod
Fen though 1 sleep 200 years.
st Matthews ''Messeuger."

A WORD OR TWO
ABOUT THE POEMS
Accuracy in Copying Verses Is
Urgently Requested.

Just a word about the series Of COM
forting poems that have now been run
ming for some time in The Herald's
Page for Every Woman.
That they have been q source OF genu-
inc pleasure and help 1 cannot doubt in
the face Of the hundreds OF appreciative
letters that have come to me. and the
many more hundreds of verses that have
been sent me for publication in this de-
partment.
Unfortunately, there have been two or
three instances where the proper credit
was not given the author OF the poem
published. In this connection I wish TO
say that the authors name is always
published when Il is sent. and want
to make a special request that II be sent
whenever IL is known.
II is sometimes the case that an old
and helpful poem Is found without sigma
ture. At other times the sender does
rot know who wrote It. either Of which
reasons excuse the omission OF the au-
thor. but where the authors name Is
known il should always be sent.
have another request to make of
those submitting poems for this series,
and that is that they be accurately
copied. My attention has been called TO
a garbled version OF one CT Whittier's
poems, the copy published containing
parts Of two separate poems.
It is, OF course, impossible for me to
be familiar with every poem sent me,
and / have therefore to depend upon the
accuracy Of my readers In making
copies. and am now making an urgent
request that no verses be sent me for
publication of which the sender Is not
absolutely sure as far as the accuracy
Of the copy submitted Is concerned.
sarily slow. owing to lack Of space, but
no encouragement need be felt on this
account. as each acceptable poem will
eventually have its turn
Some few there are which are impos-
sible for publication because Of their
extremely great length. or the fact that
they have been written on both sides of
the paper. or that some other rule of
sending them has been ignored.
