A Beautiful Dance,

No prettier OR more enjoyable func-
tion has ever been known in this
community than the dance given at
Ascension Hall Wednesday evening un-
der the auspices Of Donaldsonvil1e
Lodge No. 1191, Loyal Order of
Moose, for the benefit of the Wo-
mans Civic League. The hall was
beautifully decorated with a profu-
sion of palms, mosses, pot plants,
American flags and other articles of
mbellishment, and the scene was in
deed an attractive one as the large
shrong of young people moved
through the stately measures of the
hesitation, Or the livelier evolutions
OF the one-step and other Terpsi-
chorean diversions, to the exquisite
strains of the music rendered by
Claiborne Williams full orchestra.
Among the guests We're many visitors
from Lutcher, Plaquemine, White
places, and in point Of attendance.

NEW ORLEANS NEWSPAPER
MERGER.

Announcement appeared in the
New Orleans Times-Democrat and the
New Orleans Picayune Of April
that the Picayune had been merged
with the Times Democrat, and that
the two papers would thenceforth
appear as one under the combined tt
tie of the Times-Picayune. The
transfer was made by the exchange OF
stock in the consolidated concern for
the shares of Picayune stoc.a held by
the owners Of tnat paper, the Valua-
ton of the Picayune plant and good
will being placed at 100000, and
four of these owners being added to
the board Of directors OF the Times
Picayune, thus increasing the mem
bership Of that body from five to
nine. A number of the employees of
the Picayune have been given places
on the staff of the new paper, while
3 number of others, together with
some of the Times-Democrat's force,
kaye been necessarily let out.
There is something regrettable and
pathetic about the passing of the old
Picayune as separate newspaper
entity. Established nearly seventy.
seven years ago, the paper has seem
ed almost a. necessary part of the
life and affairs OF New Orleans and
the adjacent section of the country,
and thousands Of its devoted friends
and readers will greatly miss its
daily visits. It was always clean
sheet, conducted upon a high plane
u morality and decency, and not a
,eW of the nations bright literary
lights found in the columns of the
7icayune a worthy medium for the
of their budding genius.
The union Of the two morning
lailies will mean greater and bet
er newspaper for New Orleans, and
very Well-wisher of that city and of
louisiana will heartily hope for the |
rosperity and ever increasing cir
ulation and influence of the Times
'icayune.

MEXICO CALLED 70 ACCOUNT.

The administration policy OF
watchful waiting for improvement
il: Mexican conditions has undergone
a sudden change.
Powerful fleets Of United states
war vessels are being hurried TO boCl
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts OF
Mexico, and transports with seVeral
thousand troops are proceeding III
the same direction.
The immediate cause of this war
like demonstration was the arrest at
Tampico, April g. Of party OF Amer
lean marines in uniform who went
ashore for supplies, as they and the
seamen OF other uationalltIes nao
been accustomed to doing from day
to day. The Americans We're detaineu
i'm custody a couple Of hours, ana
were released upon the perempIofy
reouisition of Admiral Mayo, VINO
required that besides the rendered
anology the stars and stripes be
given a. military salute Of twenty
one guns.
This demand has been conveyed TO
President Huerta with the statement
that the United States government
insists upon compliance within a rea-
sonable delay.
The naughty and obstinate Mexican
ruler, evidently convinced that the
demonstration is a bluff, was at last
accounts still displaying a DISPOSE
ton to argue the question and tenn
porize, but President Wilson and his
advisers at Washington assert that
the limit of patience and endurance
has been reached; that the Tamplco
incident is but the elimination of a
long series of indignities and insults
visited upon Americans in Mexico from
which foreigners Of other national
tiles have been immune, and that
such condition of affairs can no
longer be tolerated.
Unless Gen. Huerta changes his
tune and alters his attitude there
will be something very stirring do
ing in Mexico right soon, and the
result is likely to be that another
president of Mexico will be out of
job.
Since the foregoing was written
news comes from Mexico that Pres1-
dent Huerta has yielded to the ad-
vice of foreign diplomats and his 10
cal counsellors and agreed to order
the salute to the United States flag
in further atonement of the insult
involved in the arrest of American
marines at Tampico.
While many of the people of the
United States will be disappointed
that such peaceful termination of
the incident is in prospect, doubtless
the majority will commend the course
of the administration at Washington
and content themselves with the
confident presumption that the war
like demonstration will at least have
the effect of rendering the Mexican
authorities, both Federal and Con-
stitutionalist, to exercise circum-
gpectness in their future dealings
with the subjects of the United
States in Mexico.
