Drug Stores Close On Sunday
Evenings.

=55-a I===@aZE
Every drug store in this city
closes on Sunday evening, here
tofore. Last Sunday evening
several of the druggists were
cursed out because they closed
their place of business; this of
course was not justifiable, as the
druggists are just as human as
any other man in this commun-
ity. Because one feels too lazy
on Sunday mornings to ccme up
town to transact some business
with the druggists, is no reason
for him to get sore at these men,
since they are DESTROYS of taking
Sunday evenings off.
Henceforth if you need any
medicines you will have to come
before 2 o'clock on sundays, as
the drug stores will be closed af-
ter that time.
Don't make it harder for the
druggist than you would have
him make it for you.

NIGHT BASE BALL TO BE
PLAYED HERE
carlisle indians VIII Play Against OpelOusas
On sunday May l2ih.

Captain Charlie Dejean has Sc,
cured the famous carlisle Indian
baseball team for two games te
be played on the local diamond,
on Thursday June 18th.
This club is composed of indian
students from carlisle University,
one of the best known universe
ties in the athelectic world, who
have been making a tour of the
country for the last nine years.
Carlisle has the reputation OF
turning out quite a number OF
athletes, most famous of whomis
jim Thorpe, who was very sue
cessful in winning many trophies
at the Olymlic meet, in Sweden,
and who has been signed by the
New York Giants.
The first Of the two games
will be pulled off in the afternoon
while the other game will take
place that night. This is indeed
an unsual feat, as far as the peo-
pie in this section is concerned,
f- ~
and it will surely be a splendid
treat to the many fans and adj
mirers of the 0pelousas team.
The Indians carry their own
plant of so arc lights of thousand
candle power each, making the
grounds as bright as day.
When we say Base Ball at
night we mean just what we
say; no large ball will be used,
nor indoor baseball rules follow
ed, but the same identical game
which t~akessplace in the evening
will be played that night real
baseball.
Mr.. Dejean is to be congratu-
lated on having secured this at
traction, and the many fans are
eagerly looking forward to these
games
Needless to say that the games
will be closely contested as both
teams are in excellent shape, but
at the same time it is hoped that
the Americans will take the In
dams scalp, on the field of bat
in war, but in the
national sport,-baseball.
Thursday June the 18th will
be the biggest day of the season
and it is expected that there will
be several hundred people on
hand to watch the Opelousas
team cop the victories.
Admission will be Is cents for
the afternoon game and IS cents
for the night game.
Be sure not to miss either one!

Jay GOULD

Could was born on a farm In New York
OF very poor parents. and was put to
work early in life In a small coE;ltry
store. He afterwards secured a place as
assistant to a ~fnap-nlaker. After l4arn-
ing the business, he made a map of 2ela-
ware Co. and Albany, and disposed OF
them for $4,000. which enabled lin to
start in the tanning business.
In 1860, he started in the leather busi-
ness in New York City. This proved sue
eessful. He made money fast and began
to invest in railroads. His knowledge Of
conditions. and keen Judgment made him
SO successful that in 1880. he controlled
10000 miles of railroad.
He was the founder of the snou
Gould Fortune that today controls 1900
miles Of railroad and owns more ;han 9

AGREE TO VOTE ON
v. ]. HARRIS june Is
The Threatened Has FiZ-
zled

Washington, D. c., May 21.-Senators
who were looking toward to a discus
sion of census taking from the days OF
Babylon to the present were disap-
pointed last night when the promised
fight over the confirmation of w. J.
Harris of Georgia, as director of the
census, succeeding E. Dana Durand
was submitted to arbitration and an
agreement was made to vote upon i
June 25.
Senator Burton had announced his
intention to post his colleagues on cen
sus taking as a fine art and had piled
the space under his desk with ancient
and modern records. Other republi-
cans who opposed confirmation of Har-
ris were primed with figures and facts
and they looked forward to an in
definitely prolonged merry war. The
republicans had insisted that Harris
be not confirmed before July l and Of
fers of a compromise on June had
been frowned upon.
The agreement for a vote June %
was voted only after it became appar-
ent that those opposed to confirmation
at this time were prepared to take
advantage of the senate rules and
keep talking as long as the senate re-
manned in session. No charges have
ever been filed against Harris AMI
since a voting arrangement has been
made he probably will be approved, for
I the democrats have plenty of votes to
confirm the nomination.
In the two hours executive session
last night the senate confirmed tn
4 nominations of several score postmas-
/ tcrs and other officials, including
/ George w. Guthrie as ambassador ~
! Japan; John p. Mitchell as collector of
! the port of New York; G. NJ Saitz-
! Gabe as commissioner of pensions,
and Albert Lee Thurman, as solicitor
OF the department of commerce
Nominations of William H. Berry as
collector of customs at Philadelphia,
and that of Franklin p. Colcock, as col
/ lector at Beaufort, S. c., to which re-
publican objection was raised, were
passed over.
