Review: When the Paramount Aircraft folks filmed little Women" they gave to Louisa M. Alcott's fla nous story an additional charm fin that Meg and Jo" and all the rest of the lovable characters are bI Iught to life on the screen. The visualization of the story is superb and none of its heart appeal is lost in the process of Limitation. Dorothy Bernard, who used to play in stock here. is an important figure in the very excellent cast.
 Of equal interest Is the vaudeville program, which is chock full of real entertainment. That's Going Some" a musical comedy which, as the name indicates, is all speed, is headlined. It is clever piece. well done by a good company that can sing and dance.
 Music lovers will find a real de- light in the offering of the Harmony Girls, vocalists and instrumentalists of marked ability. Their program is one of popular appeal
 Gill and Weak in Help Yourself have a Imaginable oddity that was well liked. The scene is laid in a quick lunch room and the comedy chatter that is purveyed provides a lot of amusement.
 Dolly Kaye and company, in songs and a pianologue, contributed pleas ing feature to the program, while Tate and Tate, in their acrobatic di- vertisement proved a welcome addi- ton to the bill.
 The always pleasing Pathe News presenting some European and American views, including glimpses ot interest at the peace conference 1T Paris, was another enjoyable fea- ture.

rRorrINc HORSE SUICIDES

Sunday night, about $3.50 o'clock,
Maybrook, a trotting mare belonging
to J. l. Waller, formerly of Rio but
now of Atlanta, Ca, leaped to her
death from the trestle at the foot Of
Austin street and died with broken
neck. The occasion Of the plunge
was due to the fact that the animal
had strayed upon the tracks of the
N. O. G. N. and had wandered out
on the trestle. An approaching train
frightened her and instead of re-
turning to shafety, she took the
plunge over the side, landing on her
head on the sidewalk.
Maybrook was registered horse
of trotting form and travelled in the
2:12 class. She was originally pur-
chased by the Poole interests in Gov
ington and has record of some good
work on the track. Her day was
spent, however, and the loss could
not be placed at more than 500.
Z. G. Rowan had her in custody and
was endeavoring to sell her for Mr..
Waller.

lies MISERABLES"
MAGIC CITY BILL

"Les Miserables," the most melOA
dramatic Of all Victor Hugo's melo-
dramas, has been picturized by Will
liam Fox with William Farnum play
ing the role of the immortal Jean
Vatican and will be shown at the
Magic City Theater tonight.
So extraordinary did the National
Board of Review of Motion Pictures
consider this photodrama that a spe-
cial report highly commencing it was
issued.
Les Miserables' is an adequate
representation of the great book, /"
wrote the National Board, "and is a
fine example of the justice the mo-
ton picture can render the classics.
The Jean Vatican Of William Farnum
is wonderful creative effort"
Under separate headings of edu-
cational value, entertainments of
value, historical value, moral effect,
technical handling, ETC., the National
Board of Review summed it all up in
the word excellent"

RI. Robinson
Closes Business

The entire stock, including fix
lures, belonging to the R. L. Robin
son Grocery Company in Northeast
Bogalusa, went on the block this
morning at 1890 o'clock and was
sold at auction. This brings to an
end one of the oldest and best known
business houses in Bogalusa. Under
the firm name of Robinson and Rob-
erts a business was established sec
ond to none in Bogalusa, and the
trade afforded the old concern came
from a satified public. Then the
firm was dissolved, r. L. Robinson
taking over the entire business. The
business continued good up to the
last, but Of late contrary wind has
blown and business reverses have
followed in rapid succession. The
proprietor mailed out an announce
ment to his customers recently that
because of the fact that more than
700 names appeared on his credit
books it was not longer possible for
him to operate unless these credit
customers paid up at once. The good
luck did not happen and the result
is that Mr.. Robinson wild no longer
be numbered among tho business
men of Bogalusa.
Mr.. Robinson has been a good
customer of the Enterprise. His adj
vertisement has appeared in these
columns weekly, and that Of itself
speaks loudly as to why his clerks
were always busy. That he trusted his
fellow man was to be expected Of
man who had dealt 50 long and IA
vorably with Bugalusa men and
women. The shutting down Of much
industry and the readjustment Of in
dustrial affairs was the immediate
cause of the reverses that cost him
his business. He and Mrs. Robinson
win leave shortly for the West for
two months rest, after which he viii
seek location elsewhere.

Coffee TO AZ snotliaht

Almost ever since it has been
known that the saloon was goner,
the men who deal in coffee have been
boarding the'raw product in order to
fix the price and make few for
tunes. More coffee will be drunk
now than ever before, and certainly
the people should have the bean if
they want it. It is said now that
more than billion pounds of coffee
are being boarded here, and
news stories are being circulated that
''killing frost" in Brazil has short
ened the crop so that coffee may
jump to 80 cents pound within a
year. The government may learn
these things and ignore them, but it
must be remembered that the early
colonists got into their fighting har-
ness over little tea, and when our
morning cups or demitasse is tam
pered with, up comes our sleeves and
we are ready for rough ard tumble.

New 500 and $1,000
Savings Certificates

Atlanta, July Ex-Governor M. B.
Wellborn of the Federal Reserve
Bank of this district announced to-
day the receipt by this bank of the
new savings certificates in denomi-
nations of 500 and $1,000, the is
suance of which the Treasury De-
partment recently authorized. In a
few days it is expected that all agen-
cies handling the sale of government
securities will be stocked with the
new issue.
Governor Wellborn, who is also
chairman of the War Loan Organ
ization Of this district, further stated
that the new certificates bear the
same rate of interest and have the
same redemption privileges, are not
transferable and are in every respect
similar to the War Savings Stamps.
Certificates in denomination of 500
may be purchased at the postOffices
of the first and second class and
from incorporated banks and trust
companies, and certificates in de-
nomination of $1,000 may be pur-
chased only at incorporated banks
and trust companies. These certifi-
Gates will be issued only in registered
form and are to bear the name of the
owner thereof, which shall be in
scribed by the issuing agent at the
time of the issue.
Savings Certificates in denomina-
ton of 500 will be issued this
month at $500 and the price will
increase by twenty cents each month.
The $1,000 denominations issued this
month will cost 1896 and the price
viii increase 81 each month. War
Savings Stamps Of the denomination
of SIS are convertible into these Sc
curities.
It is the opinion of Silas w. Davis,
director of Savings and War Loan
Organization, that there viii be a
large demand for these securities,
there being many individuals, cor
porations and fraternal socities that
have wanted to buy certificates of
larger denominations than So.

AMUCK
IN NATIONS
CAPITAL
From Speeding Auto
mobiles and Terrorizing
Women Blacks Trying for
Bout for Decision.

Washington, the nations capital,
has been the scene of the most dam
nable race riots for the past several
days that could be carried in a news
column, if press dispatches published
in daily papers all over the country
are to be credited. Already num-
Der of persons have been killed and
many others wounded and the gov
eminent forced to call out soldiers
and marines to keep order. At pres
ent a state of practical martial law
prevails, and as late as Tuesday night
the rioting caused the death of two
white men.
Under a date line of July %, the
following was carried from Wash
ington: Despite all precaution TAX
en- by civil and military authorities,
rioting between whites and blacks,
broke out again tonight and re-
port reached the police at 10 p. m.
that q white man, home defense
guard, had been shot and killed Soon
after the killing of the guard the po-
lice received a report that a second
had been shot. At 1920 three riot
calls were sent in from the negro
section and Gordon Of cavalry, ma
rines and infantry was at once
thrown about the block in which
considerable firing had been going
on"
Machine guns are ready and it is
believed that conditions will soon be
normal. The whole trouble had its
origin in the alleged attacks by negro
men upon a number of white women.
Washington is some different from
Louisiana and Mississippi in that
when the white people began to be
stirred on the matter no heavy hand
was used. When little resentment
was offered the negroes began using
their guns with the result that a
number of white men have already
been shot. A similar condition could
not prevail in the real South, and
judging from the way some of the
senators and representatives are get
ting into action in Congress staid old
Washington may not remain calm
overly long. 1t is even predicted
that if there is not an immediate adj
iustment of the differences that the
nations capital city may have a
scatteration, the result Of which will
be the spilling of the colored popu-
lation all over the East. Already
bill has been introduced in Congress
establishing separate apartments for
whites and blacks in all public con-
veyances and there is little doubt but
that what Kansas loves to call the
''Jim Grow" law viii soon be estab-
lished.

of the marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. Cor
nelius Doremus, and in order to bring
back to their minds the quiet exclu-
siveness of that honeymoon that be-
gan on July Is, 1880, the happy
couple betook themselves to New Or
leans alone, and repeated as near as
possible the joys of the former oc-
casion. While in the city they met
many of their former associates and
received many congratulations and
were flooded with good wishes. Many
marvelled at the fact that both have
advanced the long line of years with
but few marks of age upon their
bodies.

Prices win Co Higher

We may expect no decline in the
prices of lumber, and for that reason
we may expect that higher wages and
better conditions will prevail in lum-
Der towns in the future. This is evil
dent from the news that has been
sent out from Washington, D. c., to
the effect that the timber supply is
getting so scarce that steel cross
ties must be introduced. At present
the demand for lumber is three times
the possible supply, and the world
must face a yearly decline of sixty
billion feet.
