Better Cut Out.

Patrons of the NlckeIo and
other places of amusement are
forced to put up with the constant
misbehavior of a number of small
boys who always occupy the front
seats and practically monopalize
the whole building. 10 some cases
their parents sit back and com

take this matter in baud and give
q long suffering public relief. No
one wishes to curtail the amuse-
ment of any boy, but it is quite
plain that these boys purposely
endeavor to annoy those who wish
to enjoy the entertainment.

THE CHAUTAUOUA.
Intellectual Feasts, and Excellent Entertain
ments. Great Occasion.

The Chautauqua which was held
here from Sturday to Tuesday, in
elusive, was great, and interest in
the exercises continued to grow to
the end. l he attendance the last
night was the largest during the
three days of the Chau,auqua, al
most every seat in the court house
including the gallery, being filled.
The crowning features of the oc.
casion were the magnificent lee
lures by DR.. John Cornwell and
Col. G. A. Gearhart. Either of
these intellectual treats were worth
the price of a season ticket, and
those who failed to hear them lost
much.
The musical program, the Met
roPolitan trio and the Lyric Glee
Club, was very fine, especially the
vocal numbers by Miss Gilkinson,
the violin solos by Miss Whitmere,
aud the great second bass of the
Lyric Club.
Plumstead was a good character
delineator aud the Mysterious
Milburns were each good in their
respective lines.
Drs. w. G. BenwaY aud ]. w.
Frizzell, the former director of the
Chautauqua, were good, aud their
lectures were greatly enjoyed.
The program each day, with the
possible exception of Saturday, |
was unusually fine, bringing some
of the best talent enjoyed at the
large chautauquas right at our
doors.
The influence for good of che
Chautauqua will always live in the
hearts of those who appreciate the
best in an educational way sufi-
siently to attend. The whole
hing is intended as an uplifting
ssvaey TO make people better and
stimulate the taste for the best.
Yesterday morning a number OF
nen and women met at the court
louse and began laying plans for
laving another Cbautauqua next
rear. Miss Person and Messrs.
ones and Drake were appointed
committee to correspond with the
chautauqua Course at Washington

boy comes the question:; Haven't
you something for the boys to do I?

and I am thinking of the many
boys In other counties who have
the Corn Club, Pig Club, Baby

advantages that come with those
clubs, and the question comes I:
Why can't our boys have the same
advantages these other boys have ?
Do you know why :? Because not

YOUNG GIRL HURT
WHEN RUN OVER
BY AUTOMOBILE

Miss Susie Rivers, residing at
Turner's Camp, across Bayou Texar.
was painfully hurt yesterday after
noon near the intersection Of Wright
and Tarragona streets, when an auto
mobile, driven by w. A. Miller, resid-
ing at Molino, passed over her knee
when the girl fell from her bicycle al
most directly in front of the automo-
bile.
Miss Rivers was hurriedly taken to
the drug store of DR.. organs nearby,
and given treatment, after which she
was conveyed in the city's automobile
to her home across the bayou.
Mr.. Miller, who was in the city for
the afternoon, was arrested and
charged with operating an automobile
in careless and reckless manner
and has been recognized to appear in
the recorders court this morning.
From what could be learned of the
accident from persons nearby at the
time, the girl was riding along on her
bicycle when the wheel il thought
to have caught in the rut of the rail-
road track at that point and she was
thrown to the pavement. The auto
mobile, coming along at that time,
was too near to turn out of the way
but its course was diverted suffi-
Fciently to prevent the wheel from
passing over her body. 1t was said
one wheel of the auto passed over
Miss Rivers knee.

LARGE SMACK ADDED
To LOCAL FLEET Of
DEEP SEA VESSELS

In command Of Captain Litslejohn,
a skipper who has many warm friends
in this port, the large recent1y-leased
fishing smack Francis J. O'Hara, Jr-
arrived here at noon yesterday, bring
ing total of about 10000 pounds of
red snappers and groupers. The
smack was moored at the west side Of
Palafox wharf, in the discharging
berth, and the greater part of the
afternoon was consumed in unloading
the large catch. Even with that, the
employees worked after dark to store
or pack the fish for shipment.
Capt. Lttlejohn reported having
sailed from Findlay Harbor, Me-,
about twenty miles from Portland, on
November 8, and had rather rough
passage down to the banks. Despite
this, however, the trip to the banks
was made in nine days, which is con-
sidered a good record, in this season
Arriving at the snapper banks,
Capt Littlejohn reported no fish
could be found for four to five days,
but when the snappers did start taxi
ing the bait, the red beauties fairly
rained on deck, until the large catch,
quite filling the smack's ice boxes,
were tailed. The start for her new
port was then made, and about fou1
DAYS were consumed in coming to
Pensacola.
A large number of friends of the
genial skipper met and welcomed hin
and he expressed his own pleasure In
an opportunity of again coming tx
Pensacola, where he lived some time
since while in command of fishing
vessels.

The Cooney vessel also made tri
