Police Jury
Held Session.

The police jury held it's regular
session this week, and transacted
considerable routine business.
There was nothing of any great
Importance before the body, and
as some one expressed it, the af-
fair was really starting tame and
unsensational. The budget for the
coming, or the present year, was
agreed upon, as we are informed.
As the day grew older proceed
ines grew warmer, and waxed
hotter and hotter, until the neces-
Isity Of boxing gloves seemed evil

blows were exchanged, or as
saults committed, by thrusts be-

er outsiders, developing what
promised to be tame meeting in
to a regular sensational and
amusing farce in two acts, one in
the forenoon, one in the after
noon.
The budget was adopted, but as
some one remarked "adopt the
budget then forget it" Six
thousand dollars was appropria-
| ted for bridges, and effort to iIl-
crease it to twelve was lost. Vault

aggregating between $500 and
$1,000, which was accepted by

its bonds for $4,000, and also for
state aid, and the adoption Of

Considerable talk is being had
in Congress and Senate, as to the
advisability of reducing govern
mental expenses, economlz1ng,
with a view of eventually redEc-

Sugar reached the lowest price It
has reached in humber of years, last
week, when the Federal Refiners and
the American were fighting one anoth-
er and slashing prices, bringing unfin-
ished sugars, as low as four and
fraction per pound. Cuban conditions
are reported no better than general
conditions in the sugar belt, and that
island is all overstocked and filled up
with sugar. There was something radi-
cally wrong when the country was suf-
ferng from q sugar famine, and may
be that the scarcity then was due to
boarded sugar now being dumped on
the market for some purpose or other.

Mardi GraS
Observed Here.

Promiscuous masking was. a
fea3sre of the day, and children
and men folks made the best of
it. Colored people got up parade
of three floats and had a king.
and other members of royal
coB~t. paraded the streets and
had festivities to themselves. Be-
yond this there were only pranks
and antics of the playfully and,hu
moursly inclined. In New Or
leans there was but one parade,
although greater plans are said
to be in the making for next
year. Until New Orleans adopts
its former plan there is no real
reason for a celebration here, al
though with good roads and
weather it is reasonable to sup
pose that all past attendances
would be smashed.

New York. By mid-July almost
$400,000,0O0 in gold will have been
imported since the first of the year.
Banking house figures show that
