BEWARE DEADLY CYANIDE
lnhallng the Fumes of the Powerful Poison.

Cyanide of potassium is one of the most deadly poisons known to chemistry, and is very seldom used by physicians, says the Washington Post. When it is found absolutely necessary to prescribe cyanide in or der to relieve spasmodic coughs, it is then prescribed in the smallest quan- titles, usually about one-eighth of a grain. Five grains of cyanide of potassium, or quantity about as large as a small sized pea, is suffi- cient to kill a strong man.
 In appearance cyanide comes in gray-white, opaque pieces or in gran ular powder. The crystalline com pound, when seen in the tin cans, in which it is usually packed, looks absolutely harmless, yet there have been cases where death has been caused by persons simply inhaling the fumes of cyanide. In Bingham ton, N. r., one night several years ago, Dr. Bailey, pharmacist, was pounding piece of cyanide of potas sium into pulverized form. The next morning he was found dead on the floor of his drug store as a result of having inhaled the fumes of the deadly poison.

WHY HIS NAME WAS SHORT
All Letters of Alphabet Used Up In Last Name, Leaving Nothing
 for Given Name.

A visit to New York's bureau of naturalization is always productive of good smile. Recently man with a name something like Zebrits- kowylitis told his friends he had been in this country long enough to warrtn him in taking out his citizen ship papers.
 "Sign your name for me-" said a friend who pretended to have infu- ence with the powers that be enough to expedite understand I'll see that you're pushed in."
 The man of the long name wrote it upon a piece of paper and pre- fixed it simply with the initials "A. B."
 "Write out your full name," said his friend.
 "That Ii is" said the foreigner who would vote.
 No; l mean spell out your given name."
 "A. B. is all there is of it. You should know the boys they call me Aby."
 Sure; but that's short for Abra- ham," said the friend.
 "No," he insisted; "it are my full name. Just them letters"
 "Aw," butted in a man standing near, "all the letters of the alphabet are used up in his last name, and you ought to know there aren't any left to make up a given name1- New York Tribune.

The Death of Clara Barton.

New Orleans Picayune: The death
of Miss Clara Barton, until within a
very recent period the president of
the famous Red Cross Society, for
the medical and surgical and other
relief of the sufferers from the hor-
rors of war and calamitous convul-
sions of nature and extensive vista
tions of epidemic, occurred at Glen
Echo, Maryland.
She was born in Massachusetts
about 1880 and early devoted herself
to ministering to the needs of suf-
ferers of various sorts. She rem
dered distinguished service during
the American Civil War and gave
personal assistance in the military
hospitals in the Franco-German
war, aiding both sides. At the close
of that war she was decorated with
the golden cross of Baden and the
iron cross of Germany. On the Or
ganiZation of the Red Cross Society
in 1881 in the United States she was
made president. That society, large,
ly due to her labors, exists in all the
chief nations of Europe and il
Japan.
She was world philanthropist.

LeNeeS and Outlets.

The Monroe News Star in express
ing its views on the all-abSorbmg
subject of levees and outlets says:
Zone of the most forcible argu-
ments in opposition to the all-levee
system is the uncertainty as to their
stability. There are so many little
things that can, and often do, IN
brief space of time, cause almost
inealculable damage. A crayfish, for
instance, can destroy the best and
most substantially built leyee on the
Mississippi river, causing millions
Of dollars of damage to property
and eften the sacrifice of many
lives and the loss of thousands of
head of stock. The most skilled en-
gineers can not always tell when
these little pests are doing their
work OF destruction. Even after
thousands of dollars have been ex-
pended in the construction of mag
nificent embankmen1s, not only the
dixie but all behind it for many
miles may be swept away as the re-
suit of the work Of a crayfish OF
some burrowing animal.
We are not against the levees
for we know that they have accom-
plished much good, but we are
/ merely attempting to direct atfen
tion to the folly, as we see it, or re
/ lying entirely on the all-levee sys
tenn until some means have beer
found to eliminate. the eyer-preseni
danger Of having the costly dixie
undermined by such insignifiean
i Ipests as erayfish and muskrats.

An Unusual Situation.

It is reported from Baton Rouge
that the parishes that are seriously
0verflowed by the Roosevelt and
Arkansas crevasses may be placed
in an unusual position on election
day-Tuesday, April i6-and may
not have any legally elected of
ficials.
The election tickets sent to Ten
sas and West Carroll parishes have
been lost in the floods somewhere,
and every effort to find them has
proved fruitlesS. Secretary of State
Edward Everett has ordered printed
second lot of tickets for these par
ishes, and sent them out today by
express, with instructions to the eX-
press companies to deliver them if
it were necessary to engage boat
for this purpose.
During the meantime an effort is
being made to locate the first lot of
tickets lost somewhere because OF
interrupted communication and high
water.
If the tickets are not located and
it is impossible to deliver the sec
ond lot, the parishes may be placed
in an unusual position, and all OF
the nominations for parochial Off
cials made at the February primary
would fall because of the election
In Louisiana the Democratic nom
ination of candidates for State and
local offices is equivalent to al
election. If it be impossible to hold
the election on April i6 because ot
the lost tickets by flood, a specia
election may be called by Judge
Hall, after having been induetet
| into office as Governor of Louis
lana, at which the candidates nomi
| aated may be elected regularly.
In the meantime the officials nov
holding office would remain undis
turbed, but should and doubtles,
would in all fairness tender thei
resignation unless removed in orde
to create the vacancies which woult
be filled by the special election.

Weather and the Crops.

New Orleans Picayune April IS:
The past week has developed cOnsid-
cradle rain in the cotton belt, al
though the showers have not been
heavy except near the coast. De
spite the moisture good progress
has been made in field work and in
planting, and, although the crop is
late in most sections, the cotton
already planted is showing up fairly
we'll. What is now needed is fair,
warm weather, and the indications
point to- more favorable conditions
in the immediate future. Texas,
where conditions have heretofore
been most ideal, has recently com
planned of too much rain and cooler
weather than is seasOnable, which
: may make considerable replantinc
necessary.
The flood in the rivers and the
crevasses which have occurred haN c
largely absorbed popular attention
during the past week. Considerable
cotton lands have either been al
ready oVerflOWed or are certain t.
be covered in the near future. ThesC
ovcrflowed lands do not produce !;
very large proportion of the crop
and if past experience is to serV
as a guide. most if not all of these
lands can be planted in cotton after
the flood waters subside
The corn croD is und0ubtedl'
backward. and there is practica
certainty that considerable acreage
that it was proposed to put in corr
will be diverted to other purposes
At the same time the future of Tho
corn crop will depend largely on tho
weather from now on. The rice cror
is making fair progress although j
had a cOmparativelyMAe start. Th
acreage devoted to r., q promises tF
prove fairly large, as: there is ever
inducement to grow {. full rice crOr
as the supply of rick from the Ole
crop is, ,uncommonly small.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.
Session Being Held in the First
Baptist Church.

The twenty-siXth annual cOnVen
ton of the Louisiana State Sunday
School Association was opened at (
o'clock this morning in the FRS
Baptist church.
The attendance of delegates, eX
cept probably fifty or sixty, is from
Shreveport.
A large delegation had been eX
pected to come on special train
from Monroe, but on the advice OF
the Mayor and others were deferred
from coming. This advice to keep
away was suggested on the reports
of meningitis.
The meager attendance from
other towns in the State is attribut-
ed to meningitis and the closing OF
the public schools, which was inter
.preted as an indication of great dan
ger.
It is regrettable that the reports
have been exaggerated, unfOrtun-
ately to the discredit and 10 the
damage of Shreveport.
As indicated by the report of the
health officer, there has been nc
new case in several days. The cases
reported are sporadic and there is
no greater danger to Shreveport
than in Monroe, Lake Charles, Alex
andl ia or New Orleans. At any rate
the reports exaggerated have had
The effect of keeping the greatest
majority of delegates at their re
spective homes.
1t is needless to say that there is
great Disappointment in Shreveport
The Arcadia delegation came with
its splendid band, which may be
seen and heard this evening if the
parade, as progI ahmed, is not post
pOned on account of the weather.
The conv ention will be in session
tomorrow when the delegates may
be increased in number.
