ITS UNANIMOUS.
Harry Thaw Wants Divorce and
 Evelyn Doesn't Object.

Pittsburgh, March 4.-Evelyn Nes- bit Thaw did not answer the divorce petition of her husband, Harry Kendall Thaw, up to the time of the expiration of the notice yesterday, and the first hearing went on without her being present or represented. The case is being heard before Attorney John w. Thomas, appointed by the court, at the offices of Stone & Stone, Harry Thaw's attorneys The latter was present yesterday. The proceed ings were not public.
 It is known here that Evelyn Nes- bit is just as willing as Harry Thaw for the divorce, and is therefore mak- ing no defense. While the papers call for a legal separation on account of desertion, those who know say that Jack Clifford Mrs. ThaW's dancing partner, is mentioned in the proceed

restrained by the return of choice American securities from abroad.
 Foreign Trade Returning.

Foreign Trade Returning.
 Our foreign trade is gradually re- turning to more normal conditions through a declining export movement and larger imports. The exports for January amounted to $335,535, 1903, a decline of $17,000,000 since Decem- per, compared with $267,S01,37O a year ago. Both weekly and monthly exports have lately been running upon a smaller scale, chiefly owing to lessened shipments of munitions breadstuffs and other raw materials The largest gains have been in ex- ports Of manufactured products. Iru- ports nave lately shown gratifying in- creases the total for January being S1S4, 4,O0O,O00, an increase of SCHOOL 900. This is the highest January on record, and compares with s122,- OOO,O0O a year ago and $157,OOO,OOO m 1915. The increase in imports was nanny or raw materials and non~ dutlable goods. As a result the ex- cess of imports was less embarrass- ing, and tends to improve the for eign exchange situation. Securities are still being returned on a consid- erable scale from abroad, but the movement is less pronounced than a few weeks ago. Of course the in Aux of British holdings must be eX- pected to continue as long as liquida- ton resulting from the war reQuires The selling, however, is under con- trol of the British government, which for reasons of self-interest finds it lmprudent to OVerstrain the buyine power of this market. Many high grade American securities have been offered at unusual prices, and Amer 1can buyers frequently find opportun- ities for procuring high grade home issues at attractive prices
 Railroads Glutted.
 Our railroads continue pressad with traffic, the handling of which is hampered by difficulty in finding ocean tonnage for export trade. Eastern trunk lines are still coneest ed by the large number of loaded cars awaiting release. General trade is active, and a large distribution is reported in textiles, food products and general necessities. Some i'm provement can be reported in the labor Outlook; indications being that threatened disputes between the coal and railroad labor and their employ CTS will be adjusted without serious controversy.
 Money continues abundant at req sonable rates despite expectations to the contrary. The local bond mar ket is fairly active, and prices are well sustained by good investment demand. More or less interest is ex- cited concerning heavy impending foreign loans. These are a factor which must be taken into consider ation for some months to come, and it is estimated that at least five bil- lions may be placed before the sum- mer months and a considerable DOT ton of these applications is likely to be allotted to the United States.
 The future of the market is in volved in much uncertainty As stat ed above. home conditions are en- tirely satisfactory and justly ample l but the possibilities of l home politics and the danger of for { eign complications are constantly l present, and must continue to remain | the controlling factor in all financial ! operations, which can be conducted 1 only upon a day to day basis.

Churches C0-0berate for More
 Efficiency in C0mmon Work

l Under a general arrangement four l of the English speaking churches of New Britain-the Baptist, Methodist, Episcopal, First and South Congre- gational, are cooperating in certain lines for the purpose of making more efficient the common work they are endeavoring to accomplish. By as nearly as possible eliminating waste effort, preventing overlapping of work, uniting for similar ends, cre- atng mutual understanding, it is
 hoped to impress the community with
 the real, deep-seated, unselfish and
 comprehensive purpose of the
 church's function, the splendid pos
 abilities for moral and religious ser
 vice in our midst, and the sympathe-
 tlc determination of the Churches to
 try to realize these possibilities.
 In furtherance of this aim the
 churches believe the people are gen.
 timely interested in all such reason
 able efforts, and need only to be in
 formed of what is being planned to
 respond by cordial participation. It is designed therefore, through cour- tesy of the editors of the Herald, to present here each week some idea of the purpose and work of these and other churches

MY LITTLE GIRL A TERRIBLE SIGHT
With Rash on Back and Arms. Also Over Face. Very Red. Formed
 Eruptions. Itched Badly.
HEALED BY CUTICURA SOAP AND OINTMENT

My little girl was five years old when 8 rash broke out on her back and arms and also all over her face. When it first came out 1t was very red and then 1t began to form into eruptions like smallpox, and her face was so full of the eruptions that you could not put pin head between them, and her eyes were closed. She was terrible sight. She cried night and day the eruptions itched so badly, and I had to tie her hands so that she could not scratch. She also had 8 fever and was sick.
 ''The rash was very bad for three weeks. Then I got cake of Cuticura Soap and 8 box of Cuticura Ointment and the eruption began to heal and after using three cakes of Cuticura Soap and two boxes of Ointment she was healed" (Signed) Mrs. Watson Haines, Garnerville, N. Y, Oct. 21. 1915.

meeting with success all along the
line. in his campaign for reelection
according to reports received from
the four Galcasieu parishes.
s A prominent Lake Charles lawyer
expresses the opinion that Dr..
Lazaro will receive a very flatter-
ing vote right at Lake Charles, the
home Of the two aspirants for
Lazaro's scalp. The St. Landry
mans friends claim that he will
carry st. Landry, Evangeline, JEFF
ferson Davis, Arcadia by over
Whelming majorities and he has
a splendid chance Of carrying other
parishes.
In st. Landry the fight in not con-
sidered interesting from stand
point of tightness, as the Grand
Prairie man will run away with both
of his opponents.
The reported opposition TO DR..
Lazaro in the beginning of the cam
paign has faded away and it is now
apparent that ae will obtain the
practical solid support Of the voters.
Of the parishes Of ST. Landry, Evan.
geline and Arcadia.
DR.. Lazaro returned OH Monday
night from Galcasieu and other.
western parishes, where he was as
sured the same old support. He
went to Grand Prairie on Tuesday
to cast his vote in favor Of the
school tax, watch was held for the
purpose Of erecting a school house
IN the sixth ward, for The pupils of
the sylyestre neighborhood.
Congressman Lazaro will continue

as local friends have advised him
not to lose any time in this section
of the district.

CAMP AIGN FAST
DRAWING TO CLOSE
Young Attorneys Continue To Meet
With Success In Both Parishes
VICTORY POINTS TO
sANDOZ AND LEWIS
First Fight In st. Landry Parish
Staged Along Sound Lines And In
Which No Bitterness Appears.

While the candidates for district
Judge and district attorney are all
busy going through St. Landry and
/ Eyangeline the voters are daily be-.
coming more interested in the fight
which will be eliminated on the
/ 18th of September.
For the first time in the history
of st. Landry parish one campaign
/ for important offices is being Waged
without bitterness being engendered
lin the fight. 1t is true that both
sides are fighting as stuhbornly as
possible, but this is one campaign
in which the mudslingipg appears
to have been discarded.
For those reasons, simply because
| the fight is made along sound and
argumentative lines, Sandoz and
Lewis will ride in office on the 18th
of September. Because the people
of Eyangeline and st, Landry have
come to the conclusion that it is
! competency which counts and not
!, the votes, in order 20 make a good
, official.
John Lewis, the young aspirant
for district attorney, has been max
ing a strong appeal to the young
voters of this district He argues
that Lee Garland has been district
attorney for twenty years: taat 1t
it high time for the young voters Of
the district to show their indepence,
! which has repeatedly been shown IN
the not too distant past.
/ Peyton r. sandoz, in his same old
manner, has been going around the
district, making a thorough canvass
! of The two parishes, in which he has
always been very popular. The
voters know that he is compentent,
they know that he would make &.
ideal judge, and for those reasons
they will march to the polls and
vote for the candidate of their
choice on the 18th of September.

| Hilaire Carriere,the slayer OF
Sheriff Marion I. Swords, who is

Carriere on Tusday afternoon and
had a long talk with him. The

as jolly as could he expected.
Contrary to all expectations Car

that his pictures published iii news
papers during the past month would
make of him. He appears to Be an
intelligent fellow and is rather good
looking.
When interviewed On Tuesday
evening Garriere was in i splendid
mood and spoke very fondly Of old
st. Landry. He inquired about
many people ID this parish, some of
his relatives Others his friends. He
would not discuss the killing of
shegiff Swords, though, he took oe-
casion to comment on the recent
sheriff election III this parish.
The st. Landry prisoner is well
satisfied with the treatment accord
