pADEReWsKI AT THE PIANO
Description of Great Masters Playing
We'll Called Gem of Humor-
Qua Composition.

The death recently of Ed III. Smith
recalled the humorous editorials which
made his little newspaper, the Chula
News, noted: The one which first
drew attention to it follows
1--WE heard the Polander. Paderew-
ski. play the piano in Kansas City last
night. The fellow is deceitful. He
makes you think all the time that he
is going to play tune. but he never
does. He fiirts all around d tune, but
never touches 1t. His hair looks like
a wig. but it,isn't. He deceives you
in a hundred ways. He makes the
sweetest sounds you. ever heard that
were not tune. He has: his piano
so trained that the doggone thing will
keep right on playing when he is not
touching it. He reaches out slowly
and strokes 1t, drawing back his ell
bows like a man brushing girls hair.
You see the moonlight and you're
there with your girl, but somehow she
don't love you. We know the sorrow
of that, and that's why we don't like
Paderewski. There are troubles
enough in the world without hearing
Paderewski. A man don't want to
feel like he had thrown the mutilated
remains Of his grandmother in the
sewer. If this is Paderewski's last
visit to America we're glad of ii. But
we wouldn't take 500 for what we
heard"

ST. PETERS COLLEGE oPERETTA
MONDAY, APRIL 10Th.

The people of this community who are
admirers of real good opera should benC
every effort to be present at the Elki
Opera House next Monday evening when
the students of St Peters College will
present a double bill that promises to
surpass many of the attractions formerly
presented here by professionals. The
opera "The Bell in the Forest is being
rehearsed nightly by the cast and from
what we are informed will justify a
packed house. The other feature of the
program is the comedy sketch, "a Libel
Suit aud it is real side splitter. Some
of the situations are ludicrous to the ex-
treme and we are certain the New Iberia
public viii enjoy the entire program. The
College orchestra will furnish the music
and that of itself will be worth the price
of the admission. Let everybody don
their best on next Monday and be on
hand to witness the performance.

we noticed on exhibition in the show

We noticed on exhibition in the show
window of the Iberia Jewelry Co. store,
a sample broom made by the children of
the Jeanerette colored public school
which is credit to them, considering the
short time in which this line of indus
trial training has been inaugurated there.
When Supt. L. G. Porter assumed charged
of the schools of this Parish he became
aware of the industrial training the
principal of that school had in another
State. and made overtures to him that
he would furnish three small broom
making machines if he would train the
pupils how to manufacture this valued
and necessary article. Broom straw was
purchased sufficient to manufacture about
100 and it is the intention of the bos,d
to use these brooms exclusively in every
public school building in the Parish. Mr.
Porter informed us that the head of the
school could turn out first class broom
in about fifteen minutes. This is the
kind of training that will be of great
benefit to the colored children, and in
the period of a few years several other
courses could be added without disay-
ranging the regular teaching program.
