THE NEW ORLEANS PICAYUNE.

The New Orleans Picayune, which was
established January %, 1887, entered upon
the seventy-sixth year of its busy and
highly useful life last Sunday. In reading
this announcement in the Picayune the
memory of the editor Of the Banner hanks
back to his boyhood days when he was
playing the role of "printer' devil'' in
the old Caddo Gazette printing office, To-
Gated during 1856 on the west side of the
second story of brick building occupy
ing part Of the site where the magnificent
Commercial National Bank building is now
situated. Well do we remember the Ga
zette's facetious complimentary mention OF
the Picayune having passed "sweet six
teen," and the many editorial and news
paragraphs appearing in the Gazette and
credited to the ''N. 0. Pic.'' When the
Banner was established in 1859 the Pic
ayune place it on its exchange list, and,
with the exception of the interruption dur
ing the war, the Daily Picayune has been
a regular and welcome visitor to our sane
tum all these momentous years. And the
boy compositor in the old Gazette, now in
his seventies, is still true to his old love"
and continues to draw upon the columns Of
the Picayune for good reading matter for
the Banner, particularly its Confederate
"reminiscences, which always breathe the
spirit of truth and fidelity.
The Picayune is great favorite in Lou
isiana. 1t has won the regard of the peo-
pie by its conservatism, by the matchless
ability with which it is edited, by the re-
liability of its news, and by the numerous
features that are essential to great news
paper. 1t is the best type of a newspaper,
morally and intellectually. 1t is an educa-
tor of the highest character, constantly
stimulating to noble ideals in individual
and national life. Crowned with the laurels
of an appreciate public may it ever retain
and continue to add to its conquests and
! victories.

BAWDY HOUSES A
SOURCE OF DISEASE.

"The public house of prostitution
is the source Of most of the loathsome
venereal diseases which afflicts socie-
ty." This is the unanimous statement
of the Minneapolis Vice Commission
and they say, "the statement is true
in spite Of the attempt at medical
supervision and inspection. " The
good organization of the brothel is
often extolled, and the theory is made
much of that the keepers of those
places are interested in voluntarily
subjecting the inmates to inspection.
But the inmates of the brothed are
forced to receive as many as present
themselves, often an indiscriminate
horde of customers. Thus the danger
Of receiving and communicating d.
seases are vastly increased. In the
presence of such conditions medical
supervision stands practically help
less. The public house Of prostitution
is still the principal. fountain Of that
foul stream Of disease which taints
men, wrecks women and engulfs chill
dren.-N. D. Enforcement League.

MRS. CUSTER WILL NOT
ATTEND DEDICATION

Bismarck, N. D., July 22.-There is
considerable disappointment over the
fact that Mrs. Custer, widow of the
Indian fighter who lost his life in the
Black Hills massacre in 1876, has re.
fused to come here for the dedication
of Fort Rice, Sunday, July q. She
is the author of Boots and Saddles,
book descriptive of Fort Rice life
during the days of Indian warfare
She first came to Bismarck with her
husband, General George A. Custer
when he was stationed at Old Fort
Abraham Lincoln in 1873, and many OF
the pioneers still here gained an &C
quaintance with her then. She refus-
ed to come because the Sioux Indians
are to attend the event. She has,
however, sent her husbands picture
and several other relics appropriate
for that day.

ALABAMA MINSTRELS.

The best negro minstrel show that
ii Pasoans ever saw was that given
at the FL Paso Theatre Tuesday night
by the Alabama Minstrels. The house
was w,ll filled and the aud .cncc. black
and white alike, laughed or applauded
heartily throughout the evening. There
was lots of real fun and several acts
that would win applause anywhere.
Hi Henry Hunt, the contortionst
and fire eater, was real novelty and
his act Is che that is not often seen
anywhere. Among other feats he
took a small frying pan full Of burn
ing alcohol and ate it with a spoon,
the flames leaping from his mouth
with every spoonful; then he covered
a string with alcohol and set it OH
fire and took it into his mouth; as a
final act of daring, he. took red hot
soldering iron from timers furnace,
walked to the front of the stage and
put it into his mouth. The audience
could hear it sizzie.
Arthur Prince, the juggler and hoop
roller, is a real expert. There are
hoop rollers on the best vaudeville
circuits in the country who have no
better control and some that do not
perform as difficult feats as Prince.
His hoop rolling is nothing short Of
wonderful Similar acts have appeared
at Hammersteins in New York that
are not as good.
One of the strong features of the
show is that the comedians are real
comedians. They are the funniest ne
groes that it has ever been the priv
ilege of Ell Paso theatregoers to see
Watson, big black fellow. is fine
singer and natural fun maker Lots
of white men behind burnt corl.
mask, who draw much more money
than this negro, are not such good
entertainers. Edwards, his partner, is
almost as good. He has voice that
gets laugh from the very start and
the talking act between these two
men is scream.
The quartet is also very good The
members sing in splendid harmony
and at the same time, get off .lot of
good comedy, the best of which is the
imitation of a caliope. Watts also
gives a good imitation of trombone
and he performs some marvels with a
bunch of cigars. He can keep two
lighted ones inside his mouth while
he smokes another and then brings.
the lighted ones out still burning. He
also puts lighted cigar inside his
mouth and chews and smokes it at
the same time, blowing out both smoke
and sparks.
There is also little negro who can
dance all around lots of other min,
strel men. Last night he was show
cred with money from the audience.
The first par, includes some good
dancing, a number of songs that are
not at all bad and the usual lot of
jokes that are as new as the average
minstrel puns The show concludes
with plantation farce that introduces
a burlesque duel, some good dancing
and good deal of comedy.
Ell Pasoans who missed the attrac-
ton missed real entertainment, for
it has been a long time since there
has been so much entertainment for
the price at the FL Paso theater-El
Paso Herald, Fl Paso, Texas, Mar.

w. D. Mohler, q prosperous north

resident farmers build on their farms
granaries large enough to hold the
grain produced thereon. Mr.. Mohler
says where grain is hauled direct from
the machine to market a distance Of
but STEW miles, dozen teams are
needed and the farmers could much
better be employed in doing their fall
blowing and other work. The grain
could just as well be marketed later.
