This new branch of Uncle Sam's
service is a great institution and in f
many cases will result in a saving t
to the American public, but it is i
yet in its infancy, so we wish to re
mind our friends in the country d
that there are many articles that it 0
will not be practical to send through I
the mails, others that are not per
missible, while there are still oth
ers that the cost of packing, so as
to comply with the requirements of a
the Postofice Department, would v
more than equalize the saving in t
carrying charges.
In many cases it will not only be
cheaper but much safer to send it
by express. r
It will ever be the aim of
Solari's
to give their patrons the benefit of
the knowledge gained through a
very close study of this new mode
of transportation.

n ADAMS' HATS
THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC AND LA
FAYETTE.
Many of our natives were startled a
few days ago by a newspaper article,
the gist of which was that the city of
ficials at Lafayette had incurred the
displeasure of the railroad company.
or vice versa, and that the Southern
Pacific Co.. in retailiation, would pull
up stakes and come back home. The
railroad companies were never built
on the retaliation plan, nor is spite
work the foundation for success. If
the Southern Pacific moves back to
Algiers what was taken away from it
some time ago, there can be but one
reason assigned for this movement,
and that is:-Greater facilities at a
lesser cost.
The clerks who were moved to Ira
fayette some time ago were transfer
red because the company could save
money by this move. Many of their
cars were repaired at Lafayette and
in the West because it was to the ad
vantage of the company to do so, and
whenever conditions so shape them
selves that Algiers will hold out a
:greater advantage than any other
point, just that soon may we expect
the Southern Pacific to "pull up
stakes" and come back again to old
Algiers.
While we are sorry that we are not
able to look upon this new report of
moving out of Lafayette from an op
timistic view point, the facts above
nevertheless are cold and to the point
and will guide the railroad company
just the same as any other business
institution.
RECORDER GOFF TO SERVE IN
THE NIGHT COURT.
Commissioner Newman stated Fri
day that he was pleased to have the
services of Recorder Goff, of the Third
Recorder's Court, in the Night Record
er's Court during Recorder Batt's ill
ness. Thursday night Recorder Batt
was seized with an attack of vertigo,
and had to have someone act for him.
Recorder Goff of Algiers was called
upon the service. Mr. Newman ex
plained that he could not call upon
Recorder Fogarty or Recorder Gauth
reaux, as they both hold long sessions
during the day, while Recorder Goff is
not so busy.
Commissioner Newman said he be
lieves, as a lawyer, that the establish
ment of the Night Recorder's Court is
strictly within the law, and that it will
stand notwithstanding the opposition.
Afternoon sessions are now the rule
at the Third Recorder's Court, Record
er Goff setting a new hour to open his
court for the disposition of police
cases, because of his arduous night du
ties on the bench of the Night Record
er's Court, during the illness of Re
corder Batt. The new rule went into
effect Monday.

WRECKING STREET CARS 2
the
There has been an unusual amount rem
of trouble during the last two months com
on the Algiers Railway and the New a m
Orleans & Western lines with obstruc- to (
tions on the tracks, which in most oust
cases are placed there by boys. Prac- roa(
tically all of this trouble is experi- T
enced in McDonoghville and Gretna ducl
and on the New Orleans & Western grey
lines between Gretna and Amesville. in I
On Wednesday night, the 22nd inst., usuw
there was an angle bar placed on the tern
rail above Gretna, evidently with ma- was
licious intent and for the purpose of al a
derailing the cars. On the 23rd, a beer funs
keg was placed in the center of the diec
track between the ties near the cross- pOS:
ing of the Grand Isle railroad, and car nee
No. 1 was derailed, causing a continued wa3
interruption to traffic for about three the
hours.
There is little doubt but what all of Thc
this mischief is done by boys who per- red
sist in stealing rides on the cars, and wa'
when the trainmen put them off the and
cars, they immediately retaliate by the
placing some obstruction on the track the
or running up behind the cars and con
pulling the troolley off, and other ma- ogh
liciousness, which should be stopped 'T
by the pollce authorities. sue
Those who use the Grand Isle train imp
know to what extent these boys are a of
nuisance to the company and public. are
On a Sunday night, especially, when era
there are baskets and satchels to car- cit3
ry, they crowd the platform of the roa
trains so as to interfere with passen- tha
gers. of 1
The practice of jumping on and off and
trains is a dangerous practice and fin(
should one of these boys be injured by not
falling under the wheels, their parents aga
would lose no time in bringing suit our
against the company which is at pres- WOl
ent trying to protect these youngsters. In
It is the duty of any of our citizens use
and justice to the parents of these ete
boys to Inform the police as to the prc
names of the youngsters. Putting a pa'
stop to a dangerous practise like this Orl
is better than lawsuits and accidents. ma

SCHOOL BOARD NOTES. pet
any
The School Board Friday night ac- ae
cepted the recommendations of Super- to
intendent Gwinn to the effect that un
less as many as fifteen enter the class rot
at the beginning of the second term in tdo
the Normal School for kindergarten fut
teachers the class will not 'be estab- ha
lished. Mr. Gwinn stated that there elt
are now five more teachers than need- wi
ed for the kindergarten department on an
the rolls. bu
The subject of pupils from adjoining it
parishes attending the public schools an
in Orleans parish, was referred to Mr. co
Gwinn. It was stated that a number lal
of children from Orleans parish are a
attending the public schools in Jeffer- tic
son parish, for which the local board ne
pays $50 per pupil.
Mr. Gwinn stated that with the open- if
ing of the February term there will be th
seven vacancies in the teaching force, co
but the vacancies would be filled by he
the consolidation of classes and trans- se
fers of teachers. th
It was decided to gradually retire to
the thirty-five white teachers who are
instructing colored pupils and replace ro
them with colored teachers. Je
th
MUCH REPAIR WORK NEEDED,
CITY ENGINEER REPORTS. t
Samuel E. Redfern, commissioner of of
immigration, called upon Mayor Behr- la
man last week to discuss the matter
of repairs to Newton street, leading to fl
the immigration station. He said that m
he hoped to open the station in about 0
a month. The Mayor exhibited to Mr. be
Redfern a statement, preparea by City H
Engineer Hardee for Commissioner La 1(
faye, as to repairs that are necessary
to certain streets in Algiers and the 4
two viaducts. The report states that r
Hermosa street from the end of the di
asphalt to Magellen street, which was ni
surfaced with gravel by the city some de
time ago, has holes that need filling si
with cinders or shells. When the tt
street was surfaced it was supposed It
that it was done to the parish line but U
it was afterwards found that the par- tl
ish line between Orleans and Jefferson ti
is 400 feet beyond. This stretch of 400 rI
feet should be surfhced with shells or a
cinders, and will cost about $75.
The report states that the decking g
of the Newton street viaduct was re- h
cently repaired by the Algiers and tl
Gretna Railway Company, but the re- I
pairs are not satisfactory, as the plank c
used were too thin and too short. The p
downriver approach to the viaduct is o
reported in bad condition and needing ft
attention.
Newton street from the viaduct to 1
General Meyer avenue requires to be t
surfaced with shells or cinders, which i1
would cost about $100. a
Behrman avenue, General Meyer and C
General Merrell, formerly surfaced e
with shells by the United States Gov
ernment, need repairs, which would
cost about $250.
It is reported the Patterson street
viadact is in need of repairs to the I
decking and that the Southern Pacific 1
should give it attention. 1
The report further states that the<
forces of the Municipal Repair Plant I
are too busy pmparing streets for the i
Carnival to be available for other I
work for several weeks to come. I
THE CEMETERY ROAD.
Much has been said during the past
reek in regard to the improvemetlt of
he road leading to McDonoghville
emetery; especially has the talk be
ome general since The Herald started
i movement in its issue of last week
o open its columns for donations of
)yster shells for the repair of the
-oad.
Two recent funerals which were con
iucted out of the ordinary also gave
treat stimulus to having this road put
n better repair. The sight most un
isual was that witnessed Saturday af
ternoon when Undertaker E. J. Mothe
was compelled to deviate from the usu
il course in the arrangement of the
funeral of Mrs. Ursula Engler, who
lied on Friday morning. It was im
possible to use carriages and it was
necessary to call on the Algiers Rail
way to furnish cars from the home of
the deceased.
We are informed that the funeral of
Thos. P. Higgins, whose death occur
red Friday. was also conducted in a
way out of the ordinary. The corpse
and mourners were brought down from
the late residence of the deceased by
the Grand Isle Railroad and thence
conducted by carriages to the McDon
oghville cemetery.
The conditions this year have been
such as to make almost all dirt roads
impassable. Our streets on this side
of the river are no worse than they
are in the city or country roads in fen
eral. We cannot expect to ask the
city to pay special attention to-the
road to McDonoghville for the fact
that a few years ago quite a good deal
of money was spent in hauling gravel
and for a while the road was in very
fine condition, and all that is required
now is that the deep holes be filled up
again with shells, and about a six-inch
surface of oyster shells added, which
would put the road in splendid shape.
In order that this road might become
useful as a regular avenue to the cem
etery it is necessary that we also im
prove the road which is in Jefferson
parish, and of course the city of New
Orleans is not permitted to spend any
money for improvements outside of
the city, therefore it will be necessary
that in order to repair the road pro
perly it must be done by subscriptions
and it is estimated that it will require
about $100 worth of shells and labor
to make the improvement necessary.
Several of our citizens who use this
road often have signified their inten
tion of subscribing liberally to this
fund, but up to the present time we
have not received any subscriptions
either as cash or for oyster shells. It
will not be necessary to subscribe for
any special amount of shells or money,
but for every dollar that is subscribed
it will pay for twenty barrels of shells,
and while shells are needed, it will, of
course, require some of the money for
labor; therefore, if you desire to make
a subscription, send in a cash subscrip
tion, so that it may be published in our
next issue.
If you are a merchant in our district,
if you are an undertaker, or if you are
the owner of a conveyance that is
compelled to use the road between
here and Gretna. send in your sub
scription at once, to help make a goood
thoroughfare connecting the two
towns.
We believe that just as soon as the
road is completed to the cemetery, the
Jefferson parish authorities will do
their share in meeting us at that point,
as many of the Jefferson parish dead
are buried In the McDonoghville ceme
tery. The following are the comments
of the Picayune on our suggestion of
last week:
"Who will donate oyster shells for a
new roadway from the end of the pave
ment on Teche street to the McDon
oghville cemetery This appeal has
been made by Dr. C. V. Kraft, in the
Herald, that starts the movement with
100 barrels.
"Several citizens of Algiers, notably
John A. Barrett and Dr. John A. Rupp,
repaired streets close to their resi
Sdences with oyster shells, and it did
Snot require many of them to get the
Sdesired result. Dr. Kraft ventures the
Ssuggestion that if everyone directly in
Sterested in the improvement of the
I improvement of the particular section
t would contribute a reasonable amount
- the shells could be purchased, and the
Strouble now experienced with car
riages and other vehicles done away
with.
"He further suggests that if the Al
Sglers Improvement Association, which
- has already done so much to benefit
I the Filth district, would take up the
matter with oyster dealers, quick work
c could be accomplished and perhaps
a public spirit might be aroused, so that
a other sections needing attention might
I follow the lead.
It has also been declared possible
D that the Jefferson parish authorities,
a through the proper officials, might find
h it worth while to take up the question
and continue the oyster shelling to
i Gretna, which would have a material
Ieffect upon the public road there."
CARUBBA AGAIN ARRESTED.
t Ro~srio Carubba, an Italian saloon
e keeper, of Olivier and Evelina streets,
c was arrested by Patrolman Rosellus
Poise on Friday morning on a charge
e of violating the Gay-Shattuck law, relna
