Marked improvement in the condition of Archbishop James Bienk was reported Tuesday in a telegram received from Dr. J. Frank Points, New Orleans physician, who has been the archbishop's personal doctor for the past three years. Dr. Points went to Chicago Sunday morn ing when His Grace's condition was pronounced grave. The telegram received by members of Dr. Points' family, filed in Chicago at 1:30 o'clock Tuesday morning, is: "Archbishop better, condi tion favorable. Temperature 100, pulse 92, respiration 23. His Grace is very cheerful and has inquired about friends in New Orleans." according to reports, the arch bishop's illness was caused by a cold contracted en route from Havana to New York or in New York. Before the churchman left LHavana, where he went to in terview the Mexican refugee bishops, he sent word to friends here that he was enjoying the best of health. It had, been his intention to return to New Orleans, and he went unprovided for the cold weather encountered aboard ship and in New York. The Bishops of Tuliminm., Mexico, accompanied the arch bishop's party to New York and Chicago. Reports.that he had been a sufferer from diabetes for twen ty years were denied in New Orleans Tuesday. The affection it is said came upon His Grace three years ago and since that time he has been under treat ment. For the last year his condition has shown improvement and an examination mad before he Ieft New Orleans for Havana show ed no trace of the complaint. It lis thought here that pneumonia, induced by the cold, revived the other condition. Enjoyable Penny Party I At La Place. "A penny party was given by the teachers of the John L. Ory School last Sunday. which, despite the unfavor able weather conditions, was a success in every respect. The children as well as many of the patrons spent several hours of enjoyment at the school-house where this par ty was held. Finally every thing had been sold and dark ness coming on put ani-and to the fun." The teachers of theschool are: Mr. R. M. Ducote; principal Miss. Dolores DaIvs, Mis.i Florence Peters. An addi. tional teacher is apected daily. SBaskel t Ball abbrUs SIr sM E d -Mp ba . Theory And Art Of Reading. "Words," says one, referring to articutation should "be de livered out from the lips, as beau tiful coins ne vly issued from the mint, deeply and accurately im pressed, perfectly finished, neat ly struck by the proper organs, distinct, in due succession, and of due weight." Grace in eloquence, in the pulpit, at the bar, cannot be sep arated from grace, in private life, in the social circle, in the family. It can not be superinduc ed upon all the other.acquisitions of youth. Begin, therefore the work of forming the orator with the child, not merely by teaching him to declaim, but what is of more consequence by "abserv ing" and "correcting" his daily manners, motions, and attitudes. In schools for children, it ought to be a leading object to teach the Art of Reading, It ought to occupy "threefo!d more time" than it does. The teachers of our schools should labor to improve themselves. They should feel that to them, for a time, an committed the future orators of the land. It is far better that one should return from school a first rate reader, than a first rate perform er on the piano-forte. The ac complishment in its perfection, world give more pleasure. The voice of song is not'sweet er than the voiceof eloquence, and there may be "eloquent readers", as well as "eloquent speakers." We speak of "perfec tion" in this art. Let us have as the ancients had the formers of the voice, the music-masters of the "reading voice," let as see years devoted to this "accomplishment" and then we should be prepared to stand the comparision. Reading is, indeed a most in telectual accomplishment. So is, music, too, in its perfection. I do not by any means under vslue this "noble" and most delightfi l art, to which Socrates applie] himself even in his old age. But one recommandation of the Art of i Reading is, that it requires a con stant exercise of the mind It in!ov es in its "perfection," the whole 1art of criticism on language. (Signed) M. Charpentier. I A Grand Success. The euchre and dance giveA i Saturday before last by the facdlty of the. Edgard High School for the beuefit 6f the school proved tobe the nloit successful affair to the kind t var held inEdgard Friends and patrons from all over the parish on both sides of the ri ver assembled for the occas ion, and the good time lasted antil the wee small hour of morning. The magnificent sam of thirty dollars and six ty-seven centi was cleared, which sum will be used in de fraying the incidental expen sea of the school. The faculty wishes to thank sincerely the frieads of the school for their hearty and generous oopert (A CLUiitU; NiTION) AN INJUSTICE.
