Under What Authority?

AS the story runs, railroad man,
J. H. Her, occupied room in the
Bernstein building on Texas avenue
with his family. Accidentally he
droppedhis pistol on the floor of his
room. The pistol was discharged.
The ball barely missed the baby ly-
ing in its cradle. Her was arrested,
charged with carrying concealed
weapons, but as this charge was ex-
ceedingly ridiculous and could not
be sustained, it was modified tc
"disorderly conduct" He was pen
allied to pay a fine of $3.50, which
was paid by Mrs. Her from the
money being saved for family ex-
penses.
Query: If man has a gun and by
falling accidentally in his room it is
discharged, how can he be charged
with carrying d concealed weapon?
If a man has gun and by falling
on the floor of his room it is dis
charged, how can be he convicted O
disorderly conduct?
Comment is unnecessary?

HON. T. F. BELL
Is q Candidate for the Office OF
judge of the District Court.

In the Caucasian is the formal an
nouncement of Hon. T. F. Bell, who
is a candidate for the office of Judge
of the First Judicial District, po-
sition his father, a Confederate Vet
eran and a most esteemed citizen,
recently removed by death, filled for
wears with remarkable ability.
In no personal nor invidious sense
it may be said that this son OF no
BILE sire is "a chip of the old block"
is we'll read in law and is possessed
of what is styled the judicial mind;
in palmer words is gifted with the
lucid Interpretation of the statutes,
which he has and is demonstrating
since his temporary appointment by
Governor Hall to fill the vacancy
arising from the lamentable death
of his father.
Since Judge Bell is we'll and fay
orably known throughout the par
ish and is esteemed by all classes OF
the people, it would seem a waste
of space and Of words to indulge IN
his praise, and therefore, his can
didacy is submitted on his personal
standing and merit. 1t is his earnest
hope that he will receive the en-
|dorsement of his friends throughout
the parish on the day of election
fixed to be held on Tuesday, Febru-
ary next.

STRUGGLE FOR BEAUTY
Will Make Woman Ugly Declares
Prominent Authority.

The struggle for beauty will bring
forth race of women whose home
illness will be painful to behold, de-
clared DR.. S. ]. Crumbine, dean of
the school of medicine of the Uni
versity of Kansas, few days since.
'If natural methods for the i'm
provement and refinement of the
complexion and the lines of the face
were used,' DR.. Crumbine said,
American women in few genera
tiOns would be the most beautiful
on earth. 1t is the unnatural meth
DDS they are using that are rough
ening the lines of the face and abb
solutely destroying their complex
ions. The women are using entirely
too much rouge and paint, too many
preparations which are destructive.
Paint and powder on the face act
like just so much dirt. They clog
the pores of the face, and the poison
in some of them is absorbed.
in series of experiments with
animals it was shown that complete
obstruction of the pores by means
of paint or varnish soon caused
death. while partly closing the pores
resulted in, illness resembling blood
poisoning.

The Weather and the Crops.

Picayune January 13: The weaht-
er during the past week has been
rainy as a rule throughout the cot
ton belt. Such weather has not facll-
itated ginning and marketing opera
tions by any means, and all farm
work has been retarded. With good
weather preparation of the fields
for the next crop would be claim
ing attention of farmers, and an in
craese in acreage as we'll as the out
come of the crop may depend very
largely on the character OF the
weather for the balance of the win
ter. If winter plowing is prevented
by bad weather the crop will not
experience an early and favorable
start.
It is generally believed that farm
ers will increase the cotton acreage
this year owing to the fine prices
realized for the crop now being
marketed, but. as nothing has yet
been done in the way OF prepara-
ton the reports of increased acre
age may end merely in talk. It is
true, however, that conditions III
the cotton belt are prosperous ow-
ing to the fact that the second
largest crop on record has sold at
high prices. Such state of things
will naturally predispose farmers to
plant more cotton-in fact as much
as they can cultivate to advantage.
The weather during the past Neek
has been, as a rule, unfavorab1e in
the sugar belt preventing work in
the fields. Planters are anxious to
properly cultivate their fields ano
prepare them for the spring plant
as early as possible. There is a de-
sire to put in a full acreage and
even increase in some inst@Ices. A
spell of comparatively dry weather
would do much to insure a big
acreage. All accounts agree in re-
porting that the seed cane is il
good condition and that the tai
plant cane is making good progress
in fact the advices from plantations
could hardly be more favorable.

A Righteous Deed.

Governor Hall has added another
to his creditable score of righteous
deeds by retaining Gen: Allen Jumel,
the gallant Confederate veteran, in
the Office Of keeper of the State cap

JUDGE Archibald Guilty.


It is said that "the mills of the
gods grind slowly, but grind exceed
ing fine" So it would seem in the
case of Judge Robert w. Archibald
of the Commerce Court, who, on be-
ing impeached for misconduct and
tried by the Senate of the United
States, has been adjudged guilty.
How have the mighty fallen!
Judge Archibald, as others who
would "get rich quick" used the
shield of his office for peculations,
and now that he has been humiliat-
ed and degraded, of what use to him
will be the money he has acquired
dishonesty?
The tart reply may come: HE can
spend it." Very true, but money
dishonesty obtained is eversas a
stone tied to ones neck.
The best policy is in honesty, fire.
quently most trying, but it is better
to be honest and straight than
thief and villain.
In the conviction of Judge Arch
bald is a demonstration of the bet
ter spirit which is gradually per-
vading the country, condition
which is improving and is growing
better, as men of the Archibald
stripe are held to account for theil
dishonesty and their malfeasance in
office, judicial or commercial.

What Are Schools For?

New Orleans Picayune: Our MOD
ern public school system requires
that the children shall study at

The teachers what they learned at
home.
It is not too much to say that
young children can not study at
home. The multiplicity Of matters
which engage their attention when
they get back from school make
studying an unmitigated drudgery
and impose labors upon the par
ents, labors that are almost slavjsh
at the time they. most need little
relaxation from the days work
which in nsmany casss may have been
tiresome and exhausting.
But no so01er is supper over than
father or mother or both must go
droning and browsing over the chill
dren's school books. 1t is fortunate
if the parents still retain some re-
collections of the dull details that
make up the greater part OF the text
books and are able to give the young
ones some instruction, but how is 1t
with those children whose parents
are from any reason unable to give
the children what they should get at
school from the teachers
A writer in the Ladies Home
