THE INAUGURATION OF THE
GOVERNOR.

For once in the history of Louis
lana The inaugural of the Governor
is to be Invested of all pomp, cX-
travagant and glittering ceremonial
To the committee at Baton Rouge
having in hand tho inaugural al
ready programmed, Judge l.. T.
Hall. the governor~elect, before leaN
ing his home on May 7, wired teIe,
gram of which the following is a
copy:
an view Of the presence in your
city of a large number of our cltl-
zens from the overflowed sections
seeking shelter and relief, and OF
The most praiseworthy efforts OF
The people of Baton Rouge to re
lieve the necessities of those within
their hospitable borders, it is my
wish that all festivities in c0nnec-
ton with the inauguration OF the
governor be eliminated and that the
ceremony be confined to the taking
of the oath of and the induction
into office"
These words are expressive, moi
only of heartfelt sympathy for the
unfortunates, but are voiced by
man of the people whose concern
for the afflicted can not be dimmed
by the resplendence of the inaugu
raj ceremonies, as in the past, when
thousands of dollars have been eN-
pended in The qualification of few
brief hours Of lavish display.
As man of The people, Judge Hall
has realized how grotesque would
be a glittering ceremony in con
trast to the imperative needs of the
homeless desititutes who are tenn
porarily dependents on the relief oil
the government, and of those who
are commissioning with them in
their present direful predicament.
Instead of being inaIgurated
amidst the blaring of trumpets and
a pageantry more befitting royalty
than democracy, Judge Hall will
simplify the ceremony by taking the
oath of office and after having re
ceived the congratulations OF his
friends and of the people in attend
anee, he will assume the duties and
the responsibilities of his office.
In the simplicity of this inaugu-
raj, which is TO be as he desires il
shall be, Governor Hall has rein
forced and strengthened his hold on
the people, by whom he is held in
the highest esteem.
Besides, he has exemplified his
manliness in this act, which may be
reekoaed as an. index of practical
results from his administration,
which promises to be reflective of
the highest credit on the State.
The inaugural of the Governor
will lake place on Monday, May 20,
in ihe State Capitol at Baton Rouge.

He smacked his thick lips over this revenge. With all the insolence of a servant in brief authority, he gloated over his prey, and prodded him awake. Then mur- mured with hypocritical deference: Excuse me, but could I see yo' ticket for yo' seat?"
 Certainly not! It's too much trouble" grumbled the half asleeper "Confound you!"

TIC GCFfnICOTy on WneGIS.
 Of all the shocking institutions in human history, the sleeping car is the most shocking-or would be. if we were not so used to it. There can be no doubt that we are the most moral nation on earth. for We admit it our selves. Perhaps we prove 1t, too, by the Arcadian prosperity of these two story hotels on wheels. where mis- cellaneous travellers dwell in com- plete promiscuity, and sleep almost side by side, in apartments, or com- partments. separated only by a plank and curtain, and guarded only by one sleepy negro
 After the fashion of the famous country whose inhabitants earned a meager sustenance by taking in each others washing, so in Sleeping Car pathia We attain meager respecta- bility by everybody's chaperoning everybody else.
 So topsy-turvied, indeed are our notions, once we are aboard a train. that the staterooms alone are regard ed with suspicion; We question the motives of those who must have a room to themselves "a room with real door! that locks!
 And, now. on this sleeping car. pret- tily named "Snowdrop," scenes were enacting that would have thrown our great-grandmothers into tits-scenes which, if we found them in France, or Japan, We should view with alarm as almost unmenion6ble evidence of the moral ObliQuity of those nations.
 But this was our own country-the part of 1t which admits that 1t is the best part-the moralest part, the staunch middle west. This was Illl- nois. Yet dozens of cars were behold ing similar immodesties in chastest Illinois, and all over the map, thou sands of people. in hundreds of cars, were permitting total strangers to view preparations which have always, hitherto, been reserved for the most intimate and legalized relations.

Hostilities Beuin.


 During Mallory's absence, Marjorie had met with a little adventure of her own. Ira Lathrop finished his re- encounter with Anne Cattle shortly after Mallory set out stalking clergy men. In the mingled confusion of finding his one romantic flame still glowing on a vestal altar and of shocking her with an escape of pro- fanity, he backed away from her pres ence. and sank into his own berth.
 He realized that he was not alone. Somebody was alongside. He turned to find the great tear-spent eyes of Marjorie staring at him. He rose with a recrudescence of his woman hating wrath. and dashing up the aisle, found the porter just returning from the baggage car. He seized the black factotum and growled:
 Say. rorter, there's a woman in my bert"
 The porter chuckled, incredulous:
 "Wouan in yo' berth!"
 "Yes-get her out"
 "Yassah," the porter nodded, and advanced on Marjorie with a gentle, "'Scuse me, missus-yo berth is num- ba one"
 q don't care," snapped Marjorie 'I won't take it"
 But this un belongs to that gentle man.
 He can have mine-ours-Mr. Mall lory's." cried Marjorie, pointing to the white-ribboned tent in the farther end of the car. Then she gripped the arms of the seat. as if defying evic- ton. The porter stared at her in helpless chagrin. Then he shutiied back and murmured: T reckon you'd betta put her out"
 Lathrop withered the coward with one contemptuous look, and strode down the aisle with a determined grimness. He took his ticket from his pocket as a clinchlng proof of his title, and thrust it out at Marjorie. She gave it one indifferent glance, and then her eyes and mouth puckered, as if she had munched a green persim- mon, and a long low vail like dis tant engine-whistle, stole from her lips. Ira Lathrop stared at her in blank wrath, doddered irresolutely, and roared:
 "Agh, let her have it!"
 The porter smiled triumphantly, and said: She says you kin have her berth" He pointed at the bridal ar bor. Lathrop almost exploded at the idea.
 Now he felt hand on his shoulder, and turned to see Little Jimmie We'll ington emerging from his berth with an enormous smile:
 Say, Pop, have you seen lovely rice-trap? Stick around till she fops.'
 But Lathrop flung away to the smoking room. Little Jimmie turned to the jovial negro:
 Porter, porter"
 I'm right by you"
 What time d'you say we get to Reno?"
 "Mawnin' of the 10th day, sah.''
 Well. call me just before We roll tn."
 And he rolled in. His last words foated down the aisle and met Mrs. Little Jimmie Wellington just return ing from the Women's Room, where she had sought nepenthe in more than one of her exquisite little cigars. The familiar voice, familiarly bibulous. smote her ear with amazement She beckoned the porter to her anxiously. Porter. Porter! Do you know the name of the man who just hur- lried in?"
 "No'm," said the porter. "I reckon he's so broken up he ain't got any name left"
 Tt couldn't be-" Mrs. Jimmie mused. ."Things can be sometimes,' said the porter.
 You may make up my berth now.

Brussels, Belgium, June 5-Serious
disorders in the political and reli-
gious war which started throughout
the kingdom yesterday, continued to-
day at Liege, Antwerp, Verviere and
numerous other places where the So
cialists and liberals have been great
ly angered by the recent victories OF
the clericals in the elections. There
is as yet no sign that the wrath of the
defeated parties will subside soon.
At Liege, it is reported today, con-
siderable property was destroyed and
more damaged and some of the riot
ers injured. although few fatalities
were reported. The situation in this
city is improved today.
Late stories tell of wholesale loss of
lives in the riots in various districts,
but this the government officials de-
MED, declaring that the reports have
been greatly exaggerated. They as
sert that only four persons have been
killed and twenty injured. despite the
published reports which go greatly
beyond these figures.
