TRIMMING FOR
The new PlQUE
Collars and Cuffs Are Of the
Gay Navy FOuIard

Paris, May 21.-For summer morn
ing frocks, soft white pique ribbed
like corduroy is trimmed with a broad
sailor collar and cuffs of navy blue
foulard with white. The skirt is plain,
but a rather broad bias fold of foulard
may be lightly tucked around or just
above the hem.
The effect is good.
For afternoon or visiting gowns tat
feta has not been dethroned; the short
silk costume is ubiquitous, and in
many instances most attractive, as in
the case of bronze-brown shot with
roval blue. the gagged skirt trimmed
simply all around with a three-inch
bouillonnes, repeated upon the neat
little basque jacket, finished at the
neck with a dainty old lace collar and
a bow and ends of supple black satin
ribbon. The crystal buttons enrimmed
with blue enamel put the final touch
of smartness to this simple gown
upon the elbow sleeves and the lower
portion of the jacket.

gracefully looped up at the height Of

Saloons and Slaves.

The saloon business can not exist
without slaves. You may smile at
that statement, but it is absolutely
true. Is not the man who is addicted
to the drink habit a slave? There
can be no question about it. There
are 100000 such slaves in the Unit
ed States. They are slaves OF the
saloon. They go out and work .
week or a month, draw their pay,
go into the saloon and hand the
saloon keeper their money for some
thing which ruins their own lives
Is not this slavery? Has there ever
been in the history of the world
worse system of slavery? Think o.
1 900 900 men enslaved by the liquor
habit, carrying their earnings to tn
saloon keepers every day in tn
year. It is quite natural, OF course
that the slave holder should no
care to liberate these slaves.-Con

president of Centenary College. DR..
Felix Hill rendered his resignation
t othe board of trustees of the Cen

Shreveport but to the State. In his
letter of resignation he said: II need
not assure you that Centenary is
very dear to my heart.
have done my best for the college,
and believe that Gods blessing has
been upon my labor"

dear to his heart, and for the reason
that he has done his best for the
college that he must be continued
in the good work he has already ae-
complished.

THE LIEDERKRANZ CASE.
Suit by the City Ordered Dismissed
by the Supreme Court OF the State
OF Louisiana.

The Supreme Court in a lengthy
opinion has reversed the judgment
of the District Court, of which Hon.
E. w. Sutherlin is judge.
The complaint of the city, repre-
senting a number of citizens, was
that the bowling alley of the Lieder-
kranz was a nuisance in that it was
noisy, that the neighbors were dis
turbed in their slumbers and that
some of the language was offensive
JAS defined in Webster's Un-
abridged, a nuisance is THAT, which
annoys or gives trouble and vexa-
ton. Nuisances are public or prl-
vate; public, when they annoy clti-
zens in general; private, when they
affect individuals only, as when one
man erects a house so near MS
neighbor's as to throw the water Off
the roof upon his neighbor's land OF
house, or to intercept the light that
his neighbor has before enjoyed"
The Liederkranz denied the nuis
ance alleged by the city and through
their attorney, Ben H. Lichtenstein
assisted by J. F. Fisher, questioned
the authority of the city to enac
an ordinance providing the abate
ment of this bowling alley as being
a nuisance before a hearing of both
parties. 1t was also pointed out by
the defendant that almost an equa
number of witnesses had testified
that the bowling alley was in NJ
way annoying or disturbing.
In the judgment of the trial judge
E. w. Sutherlin, there was Offered
an adjustment by compromise b,
| closing the bowling alley at a fixe'
hour at night.
| This decision was unsatisfactor
to the litigants and the city ap
pealed.
The substance of the Suprem
Courts decision is that privat
bowling alley can not be singled ou
by a common council and declares
to be a nuisance until after a ful
hearing of both parties has bee
had, and that bowling alley is
recognized legitimate place
amusement, and its ordinary us
lcan not be interfered with by cor
demning it as nuisance per 81
That an ordinance declaring tn
use of property to be a nulsanc
does not make it so unless it is
|, fact so, and is embraced within tn
common law or statutory idea OF
nuisance.
The city was represented by Gil
Attorney Jack and Attorney j.
Atkinson for the intervenors.

Liquor and the Negro.

From the Catholic Total Absti-

the subcommittee of the United
States Senate's committee in charge
of affairs in the District OF Colum-
bia the other day, DR.. Greed w.
Childs "a colored physician OF Wash
ington, urged that something be
done to restrict the saloons among

trict. DIR. Childs gave the sub7com-
mittee a graphic picture OF the
harm which he says liquor is doing
among the eolored people OF the
District, and he implored the SEN
ators to act.
DIR. Childs said there were good
points in both the Works bill, which
seeks to limit the saloons TO 100, and
the Jones bill. He wanted the good
points of each taken and framed in
to legislation.
Let me warn you," he said, that
lif you don't place liquor where the
colored man finds it harder to get
he will destroy himself and destroy
you''

Gen. Nelson A. Miles on the Canteen

Il am opposed to the restoration
of the army canteen on the ground
that experience has shown that sol
diers, like civilians, are better OIL
without alcoholic beverages. The
argument that the opportunity to
purchase wines and beer at army
posts will reduce drunkenness and
disease in the army will not, in my
Judgment, hold. In the days OF the
post-trader and the canteen the dis
cipline and health of the army was
not as good as it has been in the pc
riods of no post-trader and no can
teen."-The Union Signal.

JUVENILE OFFENDERS.
Two White Boys and Two Negro
Boys Arraigned i'm District Court.

AT the session of the District
Court, Judge T. F. Bell, two white
boys and two negro boys were ar
raigned, the charges against them
being burglary and larceny and lar
ceny. The white boys pleaded guilty
which Judge Bell did not accept, and
directed the deputy clerk to- enter
the plea of not guilty. The negro
boys pleaded not guilty, and on be-
ing asked if they had lawyer re-
piled in the negative. Judge Bell
then announced that he would be
the attorney and the judge for all
the boys, whose trial will be called
on Saturday morning.
AS there is no law to reach the
boys and no Juvenile institution TO
which to send them, the all import
ant question is what shall be done?
The boys, white and black, have
parents, but seemingly they give lit
tie heed to their parents, by whom
they are not controllable.
It is from such boys that the
criminals are increased.
At Monroe there was established
an institution for juvenile offend
ers, but as there are no funds to
maintain it, this institution is use
| less.
It is with this institution for Ju-
veniles as it is with the asylums for
the care of the insane. No room for
those who are entitled to care from
the State and no money for such in
stitutions, while money has been
available for individuals who arr
filling political sinecures, such a;
special boards and commissions and
other schemes political provided fol
the reward of political heelers anf
leeches and favorites.
| What a shame?
/ Thousands for heelers and for in
i diyiduals on boards for which there
is no use, and scarcely a penny fol
| the worthy who are to be cared FOL
| by the State, and not a penny u
1 help in the referm of juveniles wh'
| can not be sent to Jail, and il not t.
Il iail, when released would be con
, firmed criminals.
i I'm all cities and towns in tn,
i States of the Union except Louis
3 lana, juvenile courts are doing ac
: tive work in reforming boys WI
/ are inclined to be criminals. In
, prime principle of the juvenile IN
/ stitutions is to give the juvenile OF
tenders a helping hand in the righ
Y direction. In the juvenile instita
J. tions i'm the States the offender
compelled to learn trade, to rea
and write, and every incentive fo
his moral and general improvemer
! is placed within his reach. 4
