London, June 5.-A destructive raid

The Lion of St. Mark.

The symbol of the Venetian republic,
the famous lion of st. Mark. is made
of bronze. There is a tradition among
the Venetian people that its eyes are
diamonds They are really white ag-
ates, faceted. It's name is most elab-
orately wrought. and its retracted.
gaping mouth and its fierce mustaches
give it an oriental aspect. The crea-
ture as it now stands belongs to many
different epochs. varying from some
date. previous to our era down to this
century. 1t is conjectured that it may
have originally formed part of the
decoration of some Assyrian palace.
St. Marks lion it certainly was not
originally. for it was made to stand
level upon the ground and had to be
raised in front to allow the evangel to
be slipped under its fore paws.

THE RAILROADS

This winter up to date has greatly
emphasized how entirely this country
rests upon the capacity of the trans
portation companies to carry on the
nations business and supply the peo-
pies wants. The lives of the people OF
the great cities absolutely depend up
Oh them, and their sudden stoppage for
a month would not only parable all
business but would fill the cities with
riot and DEATH
For many years there has been a
steady warfare made upon railroads,
on the old cry that they were engines
of oppression to the people This has
so hurt their credit that they have not
been able to obtain the money to keep
them up to the need efficiency or to
build branch lines. The late J. J. Hill
for years before his death was sound
ing against the persecution which
came in the prosecutions directed
against the railroads almost disorim-
inately, and he explained that they
prevented the obtaining of the money
absolutely needed to keep them in
condition to perform the increasing
work exacted of them.
This winter has opened the minds
of millions of people to the fact that
the business, and in large measure,
the lives of the people depend upon
their roads and their efficiency. And
the burdens of the railroads will
steadily increase as the population in
creases.
We suspect that this ceaseless agita-
ton against them will ultimately lead
to the utter decentralization of the great
transportation systems; and then to
government ownership of the rail
roads, with the attendant DANGERS

NEW SECRETARY NAMED.
Joint Committee of Levee Boards
Changes Method of Paying Bills.

A meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the joint organization of the
Atchafalaya and Lafourche levee
boards was held Tuesday at the Office
Of the latter body in this city, for the
purpose Of taking action to facilitate
the payment Of the bills contracted
in the pursuance Of the work under
the jurisdiction of the committee.
There were present Commissioners
W. D. Beraud of Lafourche, chair
man, Joseph Schneider of Assumption,
and F. Fl. Allen of Ascension, repre-
senting the Lafourche board; and
Commissioners II. A. Knight of iberia
and Joseph A. HUMPHREYS of Terre-
bonnie, representing the Atchafalaya
board. The presidents and secretaries
of the two boards, Messrs. J. W. We'll
don of St. James and V. M. Lefebvre
of West Baton Rouge, and Messrs. c..
C. Weber Of Donaldsonville and Thos.
G. Erwin of Port Allen, were also in
attendance.
Commissioner HUMPHREYS of the
Atchafalaya board, who has served
as secretary of the joint executive
committee for several months past,
rendered his resignation, and the Sec
rotary Of the Lafourche board was
elected to succeed him, with the duty
of receiving and paying all bills
against the joint organization. In
the past whenever bill was rendered
the committee, half of the amount was
paid by the Lafourche board and the
other half by the Atchafalaya board,
and this method resulted in dong de-
lays in settlement and proved very
unsatisfactory. Under the agreement
reached by the committee, the sec
rotary Of the Lafourche board will
hereafter pay all the bills, and than
send a statement to the secretary of
the Atchafalaya board, who will re-
fund to the Lafourche board one-ha1f
of the amount paid out.
