CATCHER TO COACH.
DIR. Frances Secured by st.
Charles College This Com
ing Season.

Grand Coteau, La, Mar. 12-
The alumni and friends Of St.
Charles College will be delighted
to learn of the good fortune the
college had in securing the SER
vices of DR.. Francez of -Caren-
Gro as coach of its b a e b a Ii
squad. Though DR.. Francez is
not a graduate of Saint Charles
it was here he obtained his early
training. During the time he
spent at the college he was a
great admirer of the national
game and his skill on the field
elected great praise. It was his
work behind the bat that dis
tinguished him and later made
him such a tower of strength to
the famous teams on which he
played. His receiving for Spring
Hill College (1901-19O5), L. s..
u. and Sewanee where he had
obtained his medical degree was
the same gilt edge order and
those who have seen him at
work with S. C. C. squad affirm
that he has lost none of his old
time pep. The rapid progress
S. G.. is making under his direc-
tion is a sufficient tribute to his
ability in this line. Goa &c h
Francez and the faculty mana
ger picked these men for the
various positions. The follow
ing will probably be the lineup:

meets such strong teams as S.

OBITUARY.

Mr.. Charles T. Bienvenu dice
in Opelousas on Wednesday,
| March IL, 1913, at $50 p. M,
was buried in the Catholic Gem.
etery here on the following
afternoon. He was not quite AZ
years old.
He was a member in good
standing of the Knights of Col
umhus and of the Ancient Order
Eof United Workmen, and large
proportion of the membership Of
both these organizations, to-
gether with many of his fellow
citizens, by whom he was held
in high esteem, followed with
bowed heads and aching hearts
his mortal remains to the grave.
The floral tributes sent by friends
and relatives of the deceased
were especially beautiful and
numerous.
Mr.. BlenVenu was native of
Lafayette, but settled in Ope-
lousas when he was quite a
young man. He served for some
years as prescription clerk for
the Haas-Littell Drug Co., soon
made good, = then became gen.
eral manager of that prosperous
concern. A few years ago he
became sole proprietor of the
establishment, which, largely
owing to his habits of order and
neatness, coupled with excep-
tionally good taste, has long been
recognized as one of the show
places" of Opelousas.
In 1899 he married Miss May,
the eldest daughter of the late
Col. Leonce Sandoz, who sur
wives him, as do his bereaved
mother and several sisters and a
brother who reside in Lafayette,
who were all in anxious atten-
dance at his bedside for several
weeks and shared with his de-
voted wife, physician and nurse
the narrowing, the exhausting
cares of the sick chamber.
Mr.. Bienvenu was not only a
good and kind husband, a dutiL
full son and an affectionate
brother, but he was an upright
man and an exemplary citizen,
and as such he will long be
mourned by those who knew him
best. To his bereaved widow,
mother and relatives we extend
heartfelt coincidence.

PEOPLE SUPPORTING !
TRACTION COMPANY
Citizens OF Every Town Wherein An Election
Was Held Voted In Favor
of the Tax.

In every town in which the pro
position of a tax in favor of the
Louisiana Traction and Power
] Company has been voted on, the
the will Of the people has always
been on the safe side; in every
place where an election was call
ed, the tax was voted overwhel-
mingly. This goes to show that
the people in iberia, Lafayette
and Vermillion Parishes are all
willing and glad to tax them
selves, in order to secure an en-
terprise which means unconciev-
able good to them personally, as
well as generally.
In AbbeVille, an election was
held recently and the result was
that, the people of that progress
sive and enterprising town were
of the universal opinion that an
electric car line is a necessity to
the up building of their city.
They did not think that they
were taxed too highly, but gladly
went to. the poll and cast their
ballots in fsvor of the tax.
They realized that their town
must of necessity have an in
terurban line, and it did not take
these progressive people any
lenght of time to decide whether
or not the car line was worth the
tax. On the contrary, they
were already taxed for one car
line; not satisfied with having
only one Abbeville grasped the
opportunity to have another.
The several towns which have
voted in favor of the different
car line taxes are in no better
way of paying the tax than the
people Of Opelousas, these towns
are not as rich as this one: they
are not in better financial situa-
tion than Opelousas, but still
are as progressive as any towns
in this State. The people of La
fayette and Abbeville are taxed
as highly as the people Of Ope- ]

ANOTHER PLUMBER tn
Open OPELOUSAS
SHOP.

Mr.. G. w. Zoder, of Alexan-
dria, La, proprietor of an up-to-
date plumbing shop in that city,
was in Opelousas last Thursday.
Mr.: Zoder, better known as Will
Zoder, is an Opelousas boy. He
comes of a family of engineers
and mechanics. His father was
for many years chief engineer
OF the oil mill here; his brother,
John Zoder, now engineer at
the Hotel Bentley of Alexandra,
was subsequently in charge of
the oil mill, and Will himself
was for several years chief en-
gineer at the Opelousas Com
press before moving to Alexan-
drla to take charge of a big oil
mill there.
He now owns a big plumbing
shop at Alexandria, and has de-
cided to open a branch shop here
at once. He told our representa-
tive that he intended to ship in
a carload of material next week,
and would commence work at
once.
The Sewerage Board has
adopted its plumbing ordinance
which is now in the hands of it's
printer, and will at once allow
connections to be made to the
system; so we will have plenty
of room for another plumbing
concern and think Mr.. Zoder
will make no mistake in opening g
up here.

A Concert.

fhe ladies of Opelousas, head
ed by Mrs. Sidney Hebrard, will
give an entertainment at the
Band Auditorium, on next Mon
day night for the benefit of the
Episcopal ceurch. The Spanish
dance, which will be performed
by some of Opelousas' most clever
dancers, will be the feature.
After the entertainment there
will be a dance, so it is expected
that a large number will be on
hand at, the auditorium at 7::30
O'Clock next Monday NIGHT.

| lousas, but still they voted b,
great majorities for a bonus ia,
in order to be in connection will
other towns by means of inter
urban lines. Opelousas will soor
have an opportunity to vote or
the same tax for the same Com
pany and it is expected that the
citizens of this city will display
the same spirit of progressiveness
and go-fowardness that the peo-
pie of Lafayette and Abbeville
have recently showed. Every
voter in Opelousas is urged to
come to the 22nd Of April to cast
his vote in favor of the tax, as it
means a great deal of good to
his felloWmen, as we'll as to him
self.
The tax will pass by an over
.Whelming majority and Opelousas
will be contested with many of
most prominent towns and cities
Of this state by an electric car
line. The voters of this city
have realized that a tax like the
Traction Company's is an in
vestment rather than a burden.
The most prominent men in
Opelousas, both financially and
politically have declared them
selves in favor of the tax.
Amongst these are men who
have for years and years voted
against any and all taxes coming
before the people; the eyes of
these men have been opened to
the fact that Opelousas need
and must have a car line. They
will place their tickets in the
ballot box in favor of the tax.
This is a chance the people of
Opelousas have to set a pre-
cedence, they have an opportun-
ity to show how strongly in favor
of the tax they are; it is a sure
thing that it will pass, so every
man should go to the poll on
Tuesday the 22nd of April, and
cast his ballot FOR THE TAX.

PLEASED WITH PARISH
Think that vt. Landry Is A.
Grand Spot and that the
Climate Can Not BE Better.

A party of capitalists from
Lancaster, Penn, interested III
the Union Irrigation Canal, were
IN town on Wednesday, remain
ing here several hours, shaking
hands with their friends and at
the same time making new ac-
qualntances. They were very
well impressed with the condi-
tons of things in this country
and think that there is no better
place in the Union for raising
rice than in st. Landry. They
have realized that this parish
possesses the finest rice lands in
the country and together with
the help that the big Schell canal
will lend to this industry, it is
expected that this parish will be-
come the chief rice country in
Louisiana.
They We're all of the opinion
that never had they seen a place
with such beautiful weather as
Opelousas has been experiencing
since their arrival in this State,
Mr.. Schell accompanied the
Pennsylvanians on their tour
over the Union Irrigation Com
pany's lands as we'll as their visit
to Opelousas, having come in his
automobile.
For the last six years ST. Ian
dry has been visited by parties
of Pennsylvanians, and every
time a new party comes here this
country is showered with com
pliments and words of praise
concerning its wonderful possi-
bilities and advantages to the
farmers. There is no state In
the entire Union which offers
more advantages to the laboring
class than Louisiana; not even
with its wonderful,
fascinating places for the farm
ars, can offer all the inducements
that this State can, and there is
no parish in Louisiana better sit
lated to receive large numbers
of industrious immigrants than
St. Landry.

FATHER CUMMINGS
is MADE PRESIDENT
Well-knOwn Pulpit Orator Is
Chosen Executive Of Spring
Hill College.

The name of Reverend Father
Edward Cummings, S. J., takes
the people of this city back tt
the time, when Fathers Powers
and Cummings gave a mission al
the St. Landry Catcholic
Church in the month of May,
1912. During the time which
Father Cummings spent in this
city he made friends with people
of all denominations; friends
who will never forget him and in
whose hearts always remain i'm
printed the image of a good,
gentle and jovial priest.
The thousands of friends Of
Father Cummings, in St. Landry
Parish are glad to hear of his
promotion to the Presidency of
Spring Hill College, one of the
oldest and leading Colleges of
the United States. In the month
Of September, last he was made
the Vice President Of that we'll
known institution and in the
space of seven months he was
promoated to the highest office
of thot College.
Beside being an Educator of a
good reputation, Father Cum
n1ings has won fame throughout
the United States as a pulpit
orator, and in the Sunny South
he is considered one of the very
best Missionaries of the pre-
sent day.
Spring Hill College is in very
good hands and it is thought
that it will prosper exceedingly,
under the reign of such an en-
inent person, as Father Cum
mings.
Reverend Father Francis x. |
TWellmeyer, who has been the
President of Spring Hill for the
last six years has been transferred
to St. Charles College, and it is
said that he will be made the
Vice President Of the famous St.
Landry institution. The people |
of St. Landry. who know Father
TWellmeyer are glad to learn
that he has come here to live
With us and are confident that |
he will do st. Charles a vast of
good and assist greatly in the
up-building of that College to
one of the best in the Union.
Father Wilkinson has taken
Father Cummings place, as
Vice President OF Spring Hill.
To Father Cummings, his many
admirers in this Parish, extend
their congratulations, and hope
that his official duties will not
prevent him from paying a visit
to this city, during the coming

masterful and excellent sermons,

baby are reported as during

DR.. MAY VISITS
OPELOUSAs AGAIN

The Reverend May. formerly
pastor of the Methodist Church,
at this place, but now presiding
Elder of this District, with head
quarters in Alexandria, was in
Opelousas Saturday and Sunday,
leaving Monday morning. DR..
May preached at IL A. NJ. and
II P. NJ. Sunday.
The sermon Sunday night was
exceptionally fine; DR.. May read
the story of Daniel, in the Lions
den, saying that as boy he had
wondered why Daniel had retired
to the privacy of his chamber to
pray to his God, instead of pub
licly exhibiting himself in the
act as he faced Jerusalem, but
that as he reached the age of
discretion. it was manifest TO
him that what was needed at
that time was a man with the
courage of his conviction to face
the pagan multitude and through
his own immolation on the altar OF
danger bring the pagan king and
through him the people to a
realization of the everlasting One
and true God.
DR.. May was extremely felici-
tous in his illusions to the fact
that young men starting out in
life are handicapped by the want
of proper religious training in
the home, quoting the lives Of
Lincoln, Mckinley and Bryan as
evidences of not only the value
Of early religious training in the
formation of character but the
very foundation stone of their
greatness, properly fitting them
| for the services of the State and
mankind on broad humanegrounds
as per contra his thinly yelled
illusions to the monumental self
centered political fakir of the age,
who after va inly endeavoring to.
hoist himself into power went
down in ignominious defeat,
brittled with truth, sarcasm and
Ieloquence. without in anyway Of
Tending the ethics of the pulpit,
as it came in a discussion of the
feast of Balthazar and the fatal
writing on the wall.
DR.. May will return in June,
on his regular pastoral visit. He
is one of the broadest minded
men in that church, always ready
to do justice to the labors of all
denominations.
