Melville E. Stone has recently pub

Fifty Years a Journalist" In it he
tells many interesting things coming
under his observation as head of the

Mckinley was elected, Mr.. Stone gives |
credit for his election to the fact |
that the word gold was used |
in referring to the sort of |

Edward Lauterbach of New York, one
Of the bigwigs of Mckinley days, and
says he wrote the plank, though not
denying that Mr. Kohlsaat may have

writing to Addison B. Colvin he says:

KARL RAUsCH.

Born April Il, 1S40, Karl Rausch,
OF Columbia Road, passed away last
Thursday night at 1870 o'clock at
the home Of his son, John P. Rausch,
Of Abita Springs. The remains We're
laid to rest in the new Abita Springs
Cemetery. We feel the loss OF an
other veteran, a sturdy character ana
"a ruddy ex-seaman. Mr.. Rausch
served throughout the Civil War,
serving on land and on sea. He be-
longed to the 165th N. Y. Volunteers
CO, e, Zuave Regiment, and served
on Admiral Farrigutt's flagship. He
became resident of st. Tammany
parish in 1892 and spent the re-
mainder of his days in our midst.
He attained the ripened old age OF
so years, months and rs days, and
passed quietly away, leaving his wife,
son (head of the Rausch Company,
one of the largest concerns in the
South in naval stores), and grand
children, and many close friends to
mourn his loss.
He was a charter member OF the
Abita Springs Lutheran Church, and
the burial service was conducted
from that church, the Rev. q. w.
Luecke officiating.
Pallbearers were E. j. Frederick,
DR.. N. M. Hebert, Robt. Badon, Geo.
Menetre, Jacob Schadt and DR.. A. &.

REV. A. III. SARGENT COMING TO
CONVICTION.

Beginning on the night of Mon
day, January 18th, a series of evan
gelistic services will be conducted by
Rev. A. H. Sargent, assisted by his
singer, Mr.. Rockwell, in which sew
eral of the churches of the town will
cooperate. Mr.. Sargent is an evan
gelist of some experience, having
been for several years associated in
the work with DR.. Chapman, an
evangelist of national reputation.
Mr.. Rockwell has also had some ex-
perience as a leader Of singing and
his presence will add much to the
of the services. Ar
rangement has been made to open
the series of services in the Pres
byterian Church, and with growing
interest other plans for a place of
will be carried out. The
public at large will have an unusual
opportunity to hear Mr.. Sargent IN
his effective presentation of gospel
themes and there is a hearty invita-
tion to all to take advantage of 1T.

II BOYS BEFORE
CITY COURT AS
DISORDERLY

Monday morning Mayor Badon pre-
sented the spectacle of twelve young
men arrested for disorderly conduct
and robbing the David bakery wagon.
1t was claimed that white lightning
had furnished the hilarity. Whether
it had anything to do with the appe-
tite for bread was not stated. Some
were drinking and some were not,
it is sa d. However, the arrest was
due to disturbing the peace on New
Years night.
Judge Badon fined them SIS each.
The punishment was light, but as
some Of them belonged to families
high N social standing in Covington,
the humiliation must have been
greater punishment than the fine.
There is a strong and growing
sentiment that the sale of white
lightning should be stopped. Re-
port had gained credence that even
boys could get it and did get it, but
none would testify as to who drank
it or who sold it. The Chinaman
running a pool room. was hailed into
court and Mayor Badon fined him
$500 and costs or thirty days for
allowing minors to play pool in yiu-
lation of the law
Juvenile Officer F. J. HeintZ took
charge of three of the boys as juve-
niles and had the parents appear in
court. He told them their boys
must not be caught on the streets
after 8 D. M If it came to his
knowledge that these instructions
were violated that he would take
the matter into the District Court.
He also said that he intended to file
several affidavits against the China
man who runs the pool room.

METHODIST CHURCH NOTES.

Let every one earnestly endeavOr
to retain the happy Christmas spirit
throughout the coming year. The
moro cheerful we are, the less worry
will there be, and the more and bet
ter work can we do and help othe.s
to do.
We regret very much that it was
impossible for us to hold our regular
morning service, last Sunday. at
sPoitevent's Mill, and appreciated the
christian spirit that prompted our
members there to kindly release the
pastor from conducting the burial
service Of Mrs. Mather.
A goodly number attended our
afternoon service at Vaudeville, even
though the hour was late and the
weather threatening.
We were delighted with the audi
ing, and expect still larger ones in
our new church in few months.
One of our loyal members who
earnestly desires to attend services.
but so far has not managed to do
so, writes as follows: Il want to
tell you how much enjoy and ap-
preciate the Methodist Church notes.
1t is the first thing read when the
paper comes" This is encouraging,
and we will try to write more valu-
able notes.
Experience has proven that one of
the best things for the church is for
all her members. big, little, old and
youg, who can possibly do oa to get
the habit Of regularly attending
services.
We hope all will help make the
revival under the leadership of Rev.
Sargent, as announced last week, a
success.
The Methodist Church has always
stood for revivals Of New Testament
christianity and has never tried to-
draw members from other churches.
Next Sunday is our regular preach.
ing day at Covington. Services at
the courthouse at II a. m. and 7:15
p. m. All are invited.
Our stewards recently met and
planned a real business-like pro-
gram for the church's welfare, which
they will be able to carry out with
the hearty cooperation of all our
members and friends.
All men and women not attending
Sunday School elsewhere are cordial
ly invited to come out to our School
at the High School Auditorium next
Sunday morning at 9:45 o'clock, and
join our new Bible Class.
We wish to again express our sim
cere gratitude to our friends, and
especially those at Poitevent's Mill,
who so substantially remembered
the pastor and family during Christ
mas week. %
We wish for all the fullest meas
ure Of happiness and prosperity
throughout the New Year.

Pastor.

MASS MEETING
WILL BE HELD
In SLIDELL
TO-DAY
People To Discuss Tax for
Building Chef Menteur
Highway Connection
SENTIMENT SAID
TO FAVOR TAX
Considered Important In
Future Prosperity
of Slidell.

There will be meeting Of the
citizens of the Eighth and Ninth
Wards at Slidell, for the purpose of
discussing, the Importance of the tax
to be voted for the Chef Menteur
road connection, at $3.50 p. M, to-
day, at The Community House.
This is matter that has awak-
ened considerable interest, as the
Chef Menteur Highway is proposi-
ton OF great Importance, not only
to Slidell but to the people of the
whole parish.
The appeal is made to every tax
payer in the Eighth and Ninth
Wards, both men and women. 1t is
probable that the best informed men
in these wards are supporting the
project. 1t has been argued that
careful study Of the situation shows
that the future Of Siidell and other
towns in the two wards will depend
largely upon road connection with
New Orleans for it's future growth
and that anticipated occurrences in
the near future make it necessary
for Slidell in the protection Of her
interests to supply new stimulus for
its growth. The highway is an in
vestment, and like all investments
requires the putting of money into
it to get returns. 1t is simply
question of whether it is a good in
vestment. The general sentiment
seems to be that it is.
