She Got Her ManuscrIp,.

George Eliot was always solicitous
about her manuscripts and was afraid
she should lose them. Blackwood had
occasion to send her the manuscript
OF Daniel Deronda." She would not
have 1t intrusted to the mail. and
Mr.. Blackwood said he would send It
by his footman the next day.
"Oh, don't" the author said. He
might stop at a public house and for
get itr'
Mr.. Blackwood explained that this
Iootman was a perfectly sober man Of
high character and went on to praise
the mans virtues. but this did not re.
assure her at all. "If he is the sort of
chivalrous Bayard that you describe"
she said, "he is just the kind that
would stop and help at a fire."
This was a contingency that Mr.
Blackwood could not bear to consider.
He promised that some member of his
family would bring the manuscript.

MOUNT OllvET NOTES.

Regular monthly meeting of the
vestry tonight Immediately after ser
vice.
The Holy Week services have been
very well attended, and We trust it is
a portent that the number of those ap,
preaching the Lords table and receiv-
in gthe Holy Communion on Easter
Day will be larger than ever before.
Tomorrow the services will be as
follows: Morning prayer and ante
communion service, 10 a. m; the three
hours devotion beginning at noon, and
Litany and penitential service with
sermon by the Rev. A. r. Edbrooke at
1880 p. IN. Saturday, Easter eve, Holy
Communion, Z a. m.
Easter, the Queen of Feasts, will be
celebrated joyously. The hours of SER
vices will be 6, 1880 and 10 a. m. with
the children's service and presentation
of Lenten offering at p. m. The first
service will be without music, the
other services will be with full choir,
the sermon being preached at 1880 a.
m. The offering this Easter will be
to meet the obligations resting upon
the parish, and it is hoped that all will
give according to their means.
There will be practice of the mu-
sic for Easter by the children this eve
ming at the church at 4 o'clock. Let
all come.
The annual meeting of the congre-
CATION will be held in the church on
the Monday after Easter, following a
short service. At this meeting the re.
ports of the rector and the officers of
the vestry and various church and
Sunday-school organizations will be
read, and as this concerns us all
large attendance should be present.
Following these reports the annual
election of wardens and vestrymen
will take place.
Last Sunday the infant son of Capt.
and Mrs. William Louis Heuer was
baptized, the name Of his father, Will
liam Louis, being given him. The
sponsors are Capt. VIM. Yeager and
Miss Alma Emily Hintz. A rather un-
usual feature in connection with this
baptism was the presence Of the aged
but sprightly great-grandmother of the
infant-Mrs. Hintz.
A very enthusiastic meeting of the
Mount Olivet branch Of the Woman's
Auxiliary was held after the service
last Tuesday evening, and reports were
made of the canvass for new members
Of the Auxiliary, with prospects for
more than doubling the membership.
1t was very interesting meeting and
all went away rejoiced that they had
come. The next meeting will be held
at the rectory on the first Tuesday in
May, at which time an interesting
program will be offered for the enter
tainment of the new members.

REPRESENTATIVES DUPRE AND
ESTOPlNAL ASK FOR ADDI-
TIoNAL $12s, 900.

A bill appropriating s12S,OOO for ad-
ditions to the plant and equipment of
the New Orleans immigration Station
will be introduced by Representatives
Estopinal and Dupre, if the secretary
of Commerce and Labor, Chas. Nagel,
approves, or if he has no objection.
While in Washington, NJ. B. Treze-
want, secretary-manage of the Pro-
gressive Union, had several talks with
Mr.. Nagel and the officials of the i'm.
migration service, who wanted to
know what has been done by New Or
leans to induce the steamship com.
panies to bring their immigrants
through this port. From the facts
which he submitted it was demonstrat.
ed that the new immigration station
would not be useless one, as was
charged at the time of the original
appropriation.
The local commissioner of immigra-
tion, Samuel E. Redfern, has already
indicated the improvements that might
be made in the immigration plans and
specification, and these will offer a
foundation for the bill to be introduced
by the Louisiana representatives in
Congress.

Parsley's Peculiar Powsr.

Dishes containing cold joints are
usually decorated with parsley. Is
there any particular reason why pars-
ley should be the special herb used
FOR this purpose? Most people would
probably say that it was the peculiar
beauty OF the leaf which gave parsley
Its claim. No doubt this is the reason
why we retain parsley for decorative
purposes. but 1t is believed that the
reason Of its original adoption is a
very different one. Parsley was at
one time supposed to be an antidote
to poison. This belief is not alto
gether without foundation. for parsley
Is even now said TO be an excellent
remedy for overindulgence in spiritu-
Gus liquors. Answers.

The SjdesaddIe.

1t Is generally understood that the
sidesaddle used by ladies In horse
back riding was the invention of the
famous Catherine de- Medici while she
was queen regent of France. say about
1859. Among her many other accom-
plishments Catherine was an expert
horsewoman and often spent days to-
gether In hunting and following the
chase. II was while getting used to
her new manner of riding necessitated
by her sidesaddle that the queen re-
ceived the fall which fractured her
skull and came very near terminating
her career. As matter Of course II
was no sooner known that Catherine
had taken to riding sidewise than the
custom became popular with the wo-
men all over Europe.-Exchange.

NOVEL AND ORIGINAL.


ter" will be opened in Opelousas ave-
nue..
This is an entirely new and original
form of enterprise in Algiers and Will
be under the management OF X. a.
ITansey, the well-known real estate man
of Algiers, whose knowledge of things
theatrical dates from his early youth.
From Mr.. Tansey has been learned
some of the particulars of the new
venture. The original and novel feat
ures of this new place of entertain
ment are many and will certainly be
welcomed by the people of Algiers as
something which has long been wished
for in our town.
To begin with, the building will be
located on the widest and most orna-
mental street.-the show" street of
IAlgiers-the best promenade" avenue
in the town; the theater will be of the
open air" type, the only comfortable
kind in summer time, and IL has been
arranged to have not only the largest
and best equipped stage, but other
structural features that will make it a
handsome ornament to the locality and
with facilities for every comfort. Be-
ing strictly modern in all particulars,
as to design and arrangement, it will
also be something entirely new to this
city in regard to the kind of entertain
ment that will be furnished.
The motion pictures will be the equal
of the best that are shown in New
Orleans-identicall the same as are
now put on at the Lafayette and Pierce
theatres in New Orleans, and such
vaudeville numbers as interest and de-
light the most exacting of theatre
goers.
Dainty refreshments will be served
at tables on the sides of the center
auditorium and parties of young peO-
pie as well as family parties will be
able to find here all the requirements
of a pleasant and delightful evenings
entertainment. Besides being con-
Quoted in a strictly orderly and res
pectable manner, in an up-todate san
itary and first-class theatre, the best
shows obtainable in New Orleans will
be given for the amusement of Algiers
people at the lowest price of admission
ever attempted. 1t is believed that a
thoroughly good show at popular
prices, in comfortable and pleasant
surroundings is sure to attract large
and steady patronage.
The front of the building on Ope-
lousas avenue will be a first-claSs nov
city in our town. 1t will be entirely
of metal and glass and one of the un-
usual details is that there will be two
stores, one on each side of the center
entrance, and these will be models of
neatness and elegance.
The special metal-work front IS now
being made in Chicago and the balance
of the sheet-metal work as we'll as the
erection of same and the plumbing will
be don eby the Algiers Cornice &
Plumbing Works.
Jos. w. Lennox is the contractor
for the structural framework, paving,
etc.
Motion picture theatres have been
improved and have progressed wonder
fully in the last few years, and it is
now certain that Algiers will soon
have one that will compare with the
best anywhere.

On Monday morning Major r. S.
Stearnes, superintendent of the Al

ginning the extension of their line to

follows:
"Mr. John D. Eddy called on me in
behalf of Mr.. Charles Leonhard of st.

purpose of enjoining your trespass on
his property, and we demand that you
Immediately cease the work, and re-
move your rails and ties and restore
the property to it's former condition.

for whatever damages that have been
sustained by reason of the action you
have already taken.
"An immediate reply will be appre-
ciated.
Yours truly,

Mr.. O'Connor's letter was transmit
ted to the Algiers Improvement Asso-
citation by Mayor Martin Behrman, in
which he called attention to the fact
that this important work had been
stopped and asked the Association to
look into the matter TO see whether or
not an amicable settlement could not
be made. Mayor Behrman's letter to
the Association follows:

Dear Sir-As you are aware, the

they were served with a letter from
Mr.. Robt. O'Connor, attorney, a copy
Of which / enclose. You will see from !
this that this is the first property from

barrass the progress of this work. / |

From what we understand and have
been able to ascertain, the Leonhards
have already given their consent to a
right of way across their property, but
1t is in the manner in which the COM
pany desires to cross the property
that seems to be the stumbling block.
However, We are not well informed in
this matter and our information has
been hearsay. However, there is no
doubt but what an amicable adjust
ment TO rthis right of way will be Sc
cured, as We are unwilling to believe
that anyone having interests in our dis
trict would throw obstacles in the way
OF Improvements. The new company,
who ar now spending a great deal of
money with US, deserves a great deal
Of encouragement and the cooperation
Of the people.
A committee was appointed by the

hards on Tuesday, but owing to their
not being able to find the proper par.
ties, no headway has been made at the
