wreath of orange blossoms. She
held a shower of lilies of the
valley and brides roses.
AS she entered the church,
which was most gorgeously and
deliberately decorated with pot
plants, ferns, and a variety Of
beautiful Southern roses, the
several hundred guests watched
her every move. Thealtar was
brilliantly lit up with hundreds
OF candles; the sounds of the
organ penetrated through the
church, and everything seemed
to join hands in order to make
this wedding one of the most
elaborate which has ever been
performed in this city.
During the registration Mrs.
w. Stewart rendered most beauti-
a song entitled Dear
Heart" which was especially
selected for this occasion.
The groomsmen were Messrs.
Kavanaugh Stage, Lawrence
Larcade and Leopold Simon, who
led the procession to the altar.

away in marriage by her father.
After the ceremonies were
performed the bridal couple and
their intimate friends repaired
to the beautiful home of the
brides parents, in Court street.
where a reception was held, in
honor of the newly welded
couple. In the dining room,
where the bridal cake was
served, the table upon which the
cake rested was most beautifully
decorated with ferns, while the
room itself was decorated in
pink and white color schemes.

in every available portion of the
room. Due to the fact that the
bridal couple had only a few
minutes to receive congratula-
tons from their friends. Mr..
and Mrs. Larcade remained in
the dining rooms, where many
bottles of sparkling wines were
drank to their happiness, until
it was time to catch the nine
thirty Southern Pacific train.
which they boarded for several
points in Texas. They will
spend the greater portion of
their honeymoon in Galveston,
San Antonio and Houston.
The bridal couple were the
recipients of many costly and
presents, which were
placed on every table
and shelf that could be brought in
the sitting room. The popular
of Mr.. and Mrs. Larcade was
.xamplifed when presents began
pouring in from the ieWiery
stores, in this city, early Tues
day evening by basketsfull.
The bridal couple was accom-
to the station by hosts of
friends and relatives, who in
their automobiles, would have
made a stranger think that he
be on Fifth Avenue, New
instead of Bellevue street,
Opelousas.
At the depot, from the time
Mr.. and Mrs. Larcade arrived
with Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Nor

Mr.. Payt0n Sandoz Changes
Quarters.

Mr.. Payton R. Sandoz, one Of
the most popular young lawyers
of this city has changed quart
ers.
During the week MI. Sando2
moved from the second floor OF
the Christman building, on Ian.
dry street, to the Office building
formerly occupied by Attorney
Austin Fontenot, who is now
private secretary to Congressman
Ladislas Lazaro, in Washington.
D.. G.
Due to the fact that Mr.. Ben
Christman has decided to make
bed rooms of his second and
third stories, Mr.. Sandoz had to
vacate from the handsome brick
building which adorns the princi-
pal street of this city.
Nevertheless Mr.. Sandoz is
right in the lawyers district, of
Opelousas, and being a very
popular young man, he will no
doubt get his share Of legal work.

OPELOUSAS SHOU LD
HA We AN ALARM
SYSTEM.

Being that the State Fire
mems Convention will be hel
next week, it is indeed impol
tant that the fremen of this cit
should press, before the Mayo
and Board of Aldermen. a sui
y ject, which is of vital impor
lance, not only to the firemen 0
this city, but to every individual
living within the fire limits o
Opelousas.
Every city the size of Opelou
sas has a fire alarm system, ant
there is no reason, why this cit
can not afford this also, since thu
city treasury is no longer bur
dened with monthly losses at thu
power house. The estimated
cost Of a thorough fire alarm i.
about twenty-five hundred dol
lars, and by expanding thai
much money on such a necessity
20 the city. the people of Opelou,
sas. who live within the fire dis,
tricts, will have their fire insur.
ance reduced about one per cent.
Not only that, but whenever
there will be a fire in the city,
there will be no need of ringing
UP central. who sometimes, be-
ing very busy and being una
ware that a fire is raging some
where in the city, takes a few
minutes in answering the call
and giving the fire alarm, as is
often the case here, but by the
fire alarm system the firemen
would be notified of the fire in
an instance, knowing exactly
where the flames are.
Ii Opelousas would have had a
fire alarm system for the last fire,
which occurred near the Branch
saloon, II would have been east
ly extinguished, but as the case
was, It took several minutes be-
tore the alarm could be sounded,
and q minute counts q great deal
in fighting a fire.
BY securing a fire alarm sys-
TEN the people here would be
saved enough insurance money
20 almost pay for the system in
,ne year, and the chances of a
sweeping fire would not be in
Savor Of the flames, as is now
The case.
II q fire would start on Main

Philadelphia police authorities are not

Catherine Schumacher in a cemetery
at Rochester, N. Y. four years ago, is
telling the truth. Captain Cameron

him to bear out details of the crime as
known here, but the doubts thrown
around Wolfsohn's tale by the Roches.

tives here to withhold any opinion as
to his guilt.
Wolfsohn, accused of larceny and
forcible entry, faces prison term
here If the charges are sustained
Casting about for a reason for Wolf
sohn to say that he killed the girl, the
police believe that the only motive he
could have for the alleged confession
IL his story proves untrue, Is that he
might escape prison sentence here
If taken to New York state and there
cleared of a murder charge. Sheriff
Hammel and district attorney Bar.

Close guard is being kept over the
