New Orleans, August II A
rescue expedition that has al
ready saved the lives of more
than 100000 splendid game fish
in this state is now operating
over 400 miles of Louisiana's riv-
ers between St. Joseph and New
Orleans.
Summers receding waters
have left hundreds of thousands
of these game fish stranded in
shallow pools in the barrow-pits
along the levees, beneath blaz-
ing sun. Unless taken out and
placed in live streams, these fish
are doomed to die, an almost ir-
reparable loss for this summers
fishermen and next years stock
ing of streams with game FISH.
Black bass, Dream, crappie
and other sunfish and small bass
or perch buffalo and catfish form
the bulk Of the stranded victims
thus rescued, for the hooks of
Louisiana s fishermen and the
tables of Louisiaua's housewives
Eight employees of the louisa
ma State Department of Conser-
walton have been assigned to this
rescue expedition by NIL. Alex
aneer, commissioner in charge
of the department.

WASHBURN

Capt. r. Fl. Washburn, aged
about 50 years, died at Mineral
Wells, Texas, Monday afternoon
at 5 p: m.
His health has not been good
good for sometime and he had
gone to the Wells with the hope
of recuperating but this hope
failed. =
Capt. Washburn was born in
Missouri but left that State in
his young manhood and came to
Louisiana and had lived in Shire
veport, New Orleans, Marksville
and for the past nine or tenyears
had lived here.
He organized the bank here
and spent sometime in it's servi-
ce. Afterwards he engaged in
real estate business in which he
was active at his death. Some
years ago he enlisted in the SER
vice of his country and in this
service he gained his Captaincy.
He was converted some years
ago and joined the Methodist
Church here. While not demon
strative he loved his church and
often expressed a regret that he
was not able to do md e for it.
He was also a mem her of the
Masonic Lodge at this place.
His remains were brought
here Thursday and part of the
funeral was connected at the
church by his pastor Rev. W. w.
Perry and was concluded at the
cemetery by the Masons.
Glenmora loses a farsighted
citizen who was,actiyely interest
ed in her morals and growth.
We shall miss him.
Peace to his ashes.

NEW YORK DISCLOSURES.

New York has been bringing to light conditions which exist in that city as a reason for preventing the continuance of the present administration, and the result is that not only has there been secured a coalition candidate. to oppose Mayor Hvlan whose qualifications can not fail to get for him support from all
 parties, but there has been shown such
 a state of affairs that t is only natural
 that there should be an insistent de-
 mand upon tho part of the people in
 general for a change.
 The latest disclosure surrounds the police department. At the opening of the Hylan administration one of the first steps was to overthrow the exist
 ing police commission and put in new material, discharged trusted and tried
 officials and build up new system. It
 was part of the game for getting better control of the political machine and to reward tine faithful. New York was ex- pected 10 suffer therefrorn, and 1t has.
 The long Hst of unsoived murders and
 tic great amount of crime are evidences of what was to be expected. But that !s not all. The committee which was named by the state legislature to fn- vec-icste the Hylan administration has received from the lips of the commits sioner of police that soon after he named one deputy police commissioner that deputy made him a gift of SIP. .000 Another similar appointment brought | him the use of 8 S4,000 auto during
 his term Of office and the gift of 1t in i all probability thereafter, and of the | 3 1000 policemen up for charges during this year on'y one has been discharged. Under such conditions there is no wonder that there Is loud cry for a change Of administration in the netrop- | olis With the commissioner the ap | pointee of the mayor the responsibiiity for conditions in his department must rest u1on the mayor. The wonder is ! that those who are desirous of efficient city government should tolerate such | conditions so long, but 1t can be plain | ly seen why there is such an inAstent
 demand at the present time for the re
 pudistion of such methods by the prom
 ised housecleaning.

READ YOUR CHARACTER
The Sublime Bump
By Digby Phillips, Copyrighted 1891

Have you ever known people who l revel in events and facts that are startling, stupendous, terrible or sub lime?
 You probably have, for such people are quite numerous And in all of them you will find, if you take the trouble to look for it. more than the usual development of a certain sec tion of the skull. You can locate the exact spot in this way. Look at the side of the persons head. Mentally put a line upward from the ear slanting forward just at a slight angle so that it is not quite perpendicular On this line, about halfway from the ear to the top of the head is situated the bump of sublimity.
 Persons whose skulls are well de- veloped in this section are appealed to to very readily by anything that is extremely unusual, particularly by things which are tremendous in size force or import.
 If they're artists they will paint storms at sea, or battle scenes, tower ing cliffs. If they're writers they will have unusual facility and leaning to- ward writing of such subjects. They | make excellent newSpapermen, for what is genrally called the nose for
 
 1 bump of sublimity.
 They are the people who never get l done wondering at the tremendous size Of the sun as compared with the earth. l and find joy in contemplating the fact that swift as light Is it takes it three l and half years to reach the earth i from certain stars They are more than usually impressed with the grandeur of the Grand Canyon. and hold their breaths in awe upon surveying the city ] from it's tallest building. They find 1 breasting a heavy snowstorm invigor- tating and great fun, instead of merely an annoyance and d discomfort. As l fishermen they're the fellows who 1 catch those awfully big one you hear about but never see, and as baseball fans their interest centres in the home runs that go over the fence rather than in the intrieecies of when to bunt or seek 8 base on balls

FACTS ABOUT COAL.

Interest will attach itseh to the con ference of mine workers which hay opened in Indianapolis because of the decision that may possibly be reached there concerning the demands that may be ulade by both hard and soft ccff miners for an increase in pay follow ing the expiration of the agreement which runs unta next spring.
 In connection with the present day price of coal we are told that large proportion Of it. something like 65 per cent, is dne to the wages paid in the coal mines Likewise It is understood that the present day freight rates have their bearing upon the figures while there are other costs that pile up aside from any of those additions which have to be charged to pgo6teering and gouging.
 Because there was feeling on the part CT many that the price of coal would bt reduced this fall there are many who have failed to fill their bins They arc going to be obliged to buy at advanced prices, and the worst is yet to come if there is going to be any in crease in the wages of coal miners at a time when the cost of living, which was the chief reason advanced for the last advancement, has taken decided drop and will in all probability go lower.
 Under such a state of affairs there cannot fail to be recognized the service that could be rendered to the consumer if he could be kept clearly informed upon the conditions as they exist as 1 to costs. production and consumption and be ahJe to rely thereon. Such was | the proposal of Senator Calder when asking for legislation to deal with the ! coal situation and such it is believed i if put forth by the department of com meNce at stated intervals would be of much value to the public and fur 1 uiah it the guide needed in meeting it's | coal requirements
