Want to Purchase Fair Site.

A well-attended meeting of the
board of directors of the South Lou
isiana Fair Association was held in
the rooms of the Chamber of Com
merce last Sunday forenoon, for the
purpose of acting upon the PROPOSE
ton to absorb the DonaIdsonville A
muz-u Company, which controls the
half-mile race course and grounds
where the inter r-parochial fair was
held last October. ]. Stone Ware,
president of the fair association,
acted as chairman of the meeting,
and there were present members of
the board from each of the parishes
comprising the organization.
The proposition of the A-muz-u
Company was to the effect that it
would turn over all its property and
paraphernalia to the fair association,
contingent upon the latter assum-
ing the liabilities of the racing
corporation, which amount to some
thing like s1400, and issuing to
shareholders of the A-muz-u Company
certificates Of stock in the South
Louisiana Fair Association to the face
value of S2600.
After full discussion of the mat
ter, it was decided that it would
not be the part of wisdom to accept
this proposition, or to proceed fur
ther with plans for the permanent
grounds, which are owned by the
Lemann Co., Ltd, unless the pur-
chase of this site by the fair asso-
citation on satisfactory terms could
be arranged for. On behalf of the
Lemann Company the property in
question, comprising about seventeen
or eighteen acres, was offered to the
association for $4,000, payable in ten
equal yearly instaIlments of $500
each, with interest at per cent
on the deferred payments. This Of
-er was considered excessive, and a
counter proposition was agreed upon
TO be submitted to the Lemann Com
pany, as follows: The price of the
tract to be S1500, payable in ten
years or sooner, without interest.
Secretary r. S. Vickers was request
ed to convey this offer to the Lem
ann Company, and the board adjourn
ed until such time as an answer
from that firm has been received,
when another meeting will be held
to take definite action in the prem
ises.
If the deal is consummated it is
probable the merger of the fair and
racing associations will be arranged
at once, and preparations for the
1914 fair actively inaugurated. Anoth-
er result of the successful outcome OF
the negotiations will be the conduct
of races at the A-muz-u Park track
this summer, which will be provided
for through the lease of the grounds
to private parties.

SYNOPSIS.

Percy Darrow, young scientist in
eearch of a Job. enters the office OF
Boss" Mccarthy OF New York. Nc
earthly has just been threatened by an
anonymous message ordering him to fee
elevator to try for position with DR..
Knox. Suddenly the electric apparatus
IN the Atlas building goes out of busi-
ness Experts are unable to locate the
trouble. All at once, without apparent
reason, electric connections are restored.
The next evening Mccarthy Is warned
that unless he leaves at once for Europe
~ at that hour the entire electric appar-
htus of New York is cut off. Percy OAR
row thinks he has a clue He engages
the help of Jack Warford college ath-
sete. They visit Mccarthy and offer to
run down the cause of his mysterious
trouble. Mccarthy has just received an
feathiy stiffness falls on the Atlas build
ing. plotting out all sound. barrow Is
arrested as he leaves the building. He
Is undisturbed because he believes he Is
on the right track and that another por-
tent will appear at six. This time the
whole town is thrown into darkness and
the confusion barrow escapes from jail.
Darkness hits the Atlas building in broad
daylight. Prof. Eldridge. the noted sci
artist, becomes interested in the phenom-
ena- Darrows theory IS that the man
Who Is sending the warnings has dis
covered some force by which he can cut
through the vibrations of electricity, light

Darrow places Eldridge in possession of
all the facts in the case and OF his own
theories in relation thereto and challen-
geS him to solve the mystery.

NIGHT OF TERROR
Experienced BY 10 Men Rescued From
ship-Hope Abandoned, Then
Assistance Arrives.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Baltimore, Md.-Rescued from their
ice-coated sinking ship, after they had
given up all hope, the Is members of
the crew of the five-masted schooner
Fuller Palmer arrived in Baltimore on
board the steamer Marina. The res
cue was made by the Marina about 154
miles southeast of Cape Cod
When the gale which swept the At
laDtic coast had so battered the
schooner that she began to leak, the
crew fought to keep her afloat. With
sails whipped into shreds by the wind
and rigging broken and coated with
ice that she could not be handled, the
Fuller Palmer practically had drifted
at the mercy of the raging seas. Day
and night the men labored at the
pumps trying to keep down the ever
increasing water, as the awful pound
ing opened the seams and the leaks
grew larger. Tons of water flooded
the decks, and, turning to ice, added
to the unwieldness of the vessel So
low was the Fuller Palmer in the wa
ter by then that no time was given
the men to collect any of their belong
ings. With only the clothes they had
on they were taken from the vessel.

very easy for me quietly to warn my
friends and quietly GO the grand
sneak"
True muttered Curtis, rummaging
on his desk for a pipe
The danger isn't the points
the fear of danger" said barrow
Curtis looked up, arresting the
operation of crowding the tobacco into
the pipe bowl.
Suppose that throughout the length
and breadth of this city the idea
should be spread broadcast that at
any given moment it might be destroy

Quite so, and them"
"Eh?"
What in blazes would four million
city people without homes or occupa-
tons do? Where would they go?
What would happen?"
You see what I mean," went on
barrow, after the slight pause neces-
sary to let this sink in. 1.-THE fear
would bring about a general catastro-
phe only less serious than the fact
itself It's up to you newspaper men
to see that they don't catch this fear.
There'H be a hundred letters from
foxy boys with just enough logic or
cutting off the furnace; but without
Imagination enough to get the final
effect of telling people about it Sup
press it. Unless I'm mistaken. the
affair will be over in a week"
Curtis drummed thoughtfully on his
desk.
It's got to be done, and it will be
DONE" he said at last. I'll get to every
paper in the city tonight-if it costs
US our scoop"
But won't the people who write
the letters tell about it, anyway
asked Jack. And won't the outside
papers have the same stuff"
Sure agreed Curtis promptly, "but
what isn't in the city press doesn't
get to the mass of the public; that's &
cinch. There will be some thousands
or even tens of thousands who viii

What, for the love of Pete!" gasped
Curtis. ANY small efforts at muck

explained barrow, "his power seems te

You'll have to do better than that,
growled Curtis.

that even if Monsieur X has this pow

GOOD EATERS AS GOOD WIVES
May Be More Than Grain of Truth
In Reasons Advanced for the As
sertion Made.

Marry a woman who is fond of her
meals. If you wish to be happy hus-
band,see that she shows discrimination
and anxious care in the choice of food
and drink for herself
Never marry woman who will
have high tea when you are not at
home to dinner. The. same remark
applies to the woman who looks on a
dinner properly selected and carefully
set ur with the fitting accompaniment
of glittering glass and spotless cutlery
as merely a pandering to the brutal
instincts OF man"
This was told by an expert who has
studied the question.
IF mothers would only teach their
daughters he added, Ito enjoy their
food and make it a. joy for the hus
band, there would be fewer, disastrous
marriages.
THE majority Of women toy with
their food and do not understand the
enjoyment that large meal well pre-
pared and properly set out gives to Z

profess quiet disgust for her hus-
band who insists on having good
meals.
Il know man whose wife will onlS
occasionally eat good meal with him.
AS consequence. he very rarely dimes
at home.
"Quarrels are often the result, but
the wife does not for moemnt be-
lieve the cause of these is her inabil-

husband.
Country girls generally make bet

cause they are good eaters.
'The average man feels miserable at
good dinner with nobody to eat with
him.
