Inspector General Brown Bee
ommendsl that the Younsr fe
Soldier be Appointed
Commissary of Sub- o
on
Of all officially unwelcome visitors
at an army post the Inspector ranks M.
first. He is the official fault finder cri
who comes around periodically and
gives almost everybody a general mi
hauling-over-the coals. As a rule wa
he is, personally, a charming indi
vidual who enjoys telling and en- Br
joys hearing a good story, and up
to the time of his departure there is 5
nothing in his manner to indicate
otherwise than that he has foun Di
conditions at the post above criti- me
cism. However, it is the excep
tion to the rule when that impres a(
sion is not promptly dissipated by
the early receipt of a communica- mi
tion at the post calling attention in Si
positive terms to certain irregular.
ities noticed by the Inspector upon' J
his recent visit, and calling on the fa
officer in command for an explana
tion, etc. M
It will be pleasing to his friends Li
to learn from the appended report
how Lieut. Moss "ran the gauntlet" lo
at a recent inspection of his post:

The Adjutant General, U. S. Army, Wash

Sir: Upon making an official inspection of
matters pertaining to the Subsistence De
partment at this post. I am so favorably im- G
pressed with his business-like methods,
energy, and intelligent performance of the
duties devolving upon him, that I have the
honor to recommend the Post Commissary, y
Ist Lieut. James A. Moss, 24th Infantry, for
appointment as Commissary of Subsistence $.
with the rank of captain in the regular es
tablishment.
This recommendation is made without la
hint or solicitation on the part of Lieut.
Moss or any of his friends-in fact I do not
even know that he is an applicant for such
appointment. 2
This recommendation therefore may be
taken as purely official and made with view
to securing efficient service in the Subsis
tence Depaitment. Very respectfully,

is desired.
Three Fine Entertainments.
Through the efforts of a number
of citizens the people of Lafayette
will be afforded an opportunity to
enjoy three first-class entertain
ments. On Friday, March 22, the
Boston Concert Company, one of
the greatest musical troupes on the
stage, will play here. About two
weeks later, Joaquin Miller, the
famous poet of the Sierras, will
deliver a lecture on the Klondike
and will read some of his masterful
Sliterary productions. After an in
terval of two more weeks, Harr
Wagner, one of the most popular
American lecturers, will deliver a
lecture. The admission to each en
tertainment will be 5o cents. These
[ will unquestionably be the finest
attractions of the whole season.
In order to secure these enter
tainments a number of citizens were
compelled to guarantee the amount
required.

MAIN BUILDING
Of the Iadastrial Institute Ac- Of
cepted by the Board-Other Im
portast Matters At
tended to.
Several important matters were taken up
and fully discussed at the called meeting of
the Board of Trustees of the Industrial lasti
tute lust Saturday. The members of the
Board present were Vice-president Robert
Martin, of St. Martinville, Capt. J. C. Bu- Ri
chanan, of Lafayette, Mr. James A. Lee, of
New Iberia, Hon. T. H. Lewis, of Opelou
sas, Lieut.-Gov. Estopinal and Prof. Brown
Ayres, of New Orleans. pum
After making a thorough inspection of the tioc
building and receiving a report from the ke
architects of its completion according to con- Ml
tract, its hnal acceptance was ratified by a
ves
resolution.
The question as to the sale of bonds au
thorized by Acts ya and 91 of the last Leg
islature, was then brought up and arrange- aP
ments were completed for the sale of the bce
bonds at par to the local banks. The pro
ceeds of these bonds, which will amount to rel
somewhat over forty thousand dollars, will
be immediately applied, in part to the cost p
of the main building and in part to the con
struction of other buildings necessary for
the school, upon which work is soon to an
begin. th
Upon recommendation of President Steph
ens, and upon examination of preliminary
plans already outlined, the architects, r
Messrs. Favrot & Livaudais, were author
ized and instructed to begin at once upon
the plans and specifications for a two-story nis
brick dormitory for girls, to be erected on re
the Northwest edge of the Industrial School the
property, appropriately grouped with the
main building; and the building committee
was authorized to proceed immediately with
the advertising for bids and the work of
construction. In addition to this, there is Jai
also to be built a machine shop-and such of
other buildings as may be necessary, as soon
as is practicable. It is now assured that the
school will begin its first regular sessionch
next September. Nc
We are informed that the formal opening Ni
of the main building will take place in about
two months from now and will be made the
occasion of an educational and popular
gathering from the State at large.

Two Dynamos to be Bought by A
Trhe Council.
As may be seen by reading the proceed- ci
ings of the City Council published in this
paper, two dynamos will be added to the
town's electric light plant, which will in- P
crease its capacity to thirteen or fourteen u
hundred 16-candle incandescents. This will fi
enable the town to give a far brighter light tI
and to accommodate a much greater number
of patrons.
President Stephens, of the Industrial In
stitute, is negotiating with the Council for ti
zoo or more lights, which demand alone b
would necessitate the purchase of the dyna
rmos. The intelligent efforts of the Council
to make the plant self-sustaining and to give I'
