GRAND RECEPTION
Tendered Archbshop Jansens
and Visiting Clergy by
People of Carencro
FULLY 2500 PERSONS TAKE PART IN
THE PARADE,--ALL TOLD THE
THE CROWD NUMBERED 3000.
Two Days in tho* Annals of 'this
Pretty Village That Will
Long Be Romassabered.
By two o'clock in the afternoon of Satur
day last a swarm of people began to pour
into the town of Carencro, coming from
every section of the vicinity, until an hour
or two later fully 3,000 people were in town.
They came to welcome and take part in the
magnificient reception tendered His Grace
Archbishop Jansens.
Some moments before train time ranks
had been formed near the depot and waited
for the arrival of the Archbishop and his
party. At 4:to the whistle of the locomo
tive announced the approaching train, and
in a few seconds it stood at the depot. On
descending from the train the Archbishop
was met by a committee of citizens, headed
by Mayor D. A. Dimitry, who delivered the
following address of welcome.
Monseigneur Jansens-The people of Ca
rencro welcome you most heartily. I feel
that I speak for each and all of them when
I tell you that they fully apprediate the great
honor you have conferred upon them by
your visit to-day. St. Peter can justly
claim to be the banner parish of the diocese,
in that it is almost unanimously Catholic.
I trust that the day is not far distant when
under the leadership of good and noble
Father Laforest, we will be enabled to make
such improvement in our church property as
will gladden your heart, and prove an
honor and source of satisfactaon to ourselves.
I hope that your short stay among us, will
provean enjoyable one, and when you leave,
you take with you pleasant recollections of
Carencro and its people. Archbishop Jans
sens I again bid you welcome.
The Archbishop returned his thanks for
the warm welcome extended, and was es
corted to a carriage, in which were himself,
Rev. Father Butler, S. J., and Messrs. Jos.
Prejean and Louis Arcenaux. As a guard
of honor were a company with trailed rifles.
The procession was then formed in several
divisions, there being fully o2500 in the
parade, representing old age, feebly totter
ing along, strong and vigorous middle age,
hopeful youth, and happy childhood, and
with music playing, flowing banners and
a profusion of pretty symbolical oriflammes,
and small flags of our country, the order
for the march was given.
At the head, mounted on a gaily capari
soned magnilicent horse, dressed in a fati
que officers blue suit, with a silk sash grace
fully Iecoming, and wearing a soft gray felt
hat with a fine plume, was grand marshal
L, G. Stelly, And in this magnificent pa
geant the grand marshal was ably assisted
by hy assistant, A. C. Guilbeau, who was
attired in a black dress suit, sash and plumed
hat. The aids, also elegantly costumed,
were L. It. Prejean, John Roger, J. D.
Breaux, Francois Arcenaux, Alfred Guilbeaiu,
Onezimne TBeaux, and Sandoz Arcenaux.
There was not a hitch in the programme and
tlh procession was handled in a masterly
I manner, and to these gentlemen the credit
is due.
The lot where the church is situated is
very roomy, but notwithstanding its large
dimensions, it was well filled by the vast
concourse.
Father Laforest and the management
expected a large crowd, so it was decided to
erect an altar under some large oaks back of
the presbytery. The altar presented a love
ly appearance, and it was plain to be seen
that fair hands had charge of the decora
tions. The lighted tapers buried nearly in a
bower of flowers afforded, indeed, a pleasant
sight. This enclosed lot is zoo x So feet,
and seats had been put in. But it was sim
ply impossible for all the people to gain
admittance, a large part were forced to re
main outside. The ushers were Messrs. V.
E. Dupuis, H. E. loll, Adam Sonnier, II.
Micaud, Henry Crouchet, Ernest Broussard,
Simon Latour and Louis Arcenaux.
Marshal L. G. Stelly delivered the fol
lowing address to the Archbishop:
Monseigneur-It is with deep and joyful
emotion that I have accepted the great honor
conferred upon me by the St. Peter's church
parishioners of addressing you in their name.
The day of your coming among us, is for
all catholics a holiday, and has been waited
for with a great deal of happiness and anxie
ty. Welcome, Monseigneur, spiritual head
of this diocese, may your presence in this
parish bring us God's benedictions, stimulate
our ardor, animate our faith, increase our
endeavars, so that witn the help of our be
loved Father Laforest, we shall be able, in 1
following his good example, to overcome all
obstacles in our path to salvation.
Rev. Father Luforest, so well entitled to
our sincere regards, in whom we trust im
plicitly, like the good shepherd, has gathered
his flock, and by renovating its ardor has in
fused a newspirit.
Our parish has met with misfortunes; so
that to-day we have nothing to shelter you
but those oaks, (under which you stand) al
ways green, emblem of hope. Twice have
we built churches; the first was destroyed
by fire, the second was blownx down by a
storm. Our hope now is that, the bell, you
are about to consecrate, shall be the pledge
of a third large and beautiful church, and
its every sound will recall to us the th
names inscribed thereon: Francois, Tabicn
et Pierre.
Again, monseigneur, welcome.
Tne Archishop replied and complimented
the people on the grand success of the cele
bration.
The Archishop officiated at the benedic
tion services assisted by Rev. Fathers Butler
and Aveihe. After benediction the Arch.
bishop questioned the 385 children who had
made their first communion that day. The i
children answered all questions, and the
Archbishop was evidently much pleased.
Sunday morning a procession was formed
with the 436 children who were about to re
ceive the sacrament of confirmation. The
processton was headed by the brass band,
and was in charge of the offacers of the pre
vious day's parade. It was a success and pre
sented a pretty scene. Arriving at thechurch
they were seated in a part of, the church
provide nfor theni. Afterthe cercmomiy, at
teoonrlat uponl coniiroation, hrigh mass u as
celebrated. The services throughout being
most impressive and solemn..
A dinner was given in honor of the Arch
bishop at the residence of Father Laforest.
It was a splendid feast-a feast fit for the
Gods. The most tempteing viands and
delicious dainties were spread upon the table
During the dinner the brass band discoursed,
at short intervals, some choice selections
from their varied repertoire. At the head
of the table was the Archbishop; and seated
with him were the following visiting clergy:
Rev. Father Aveilhe, predicator of the re
treat, Very Rev. Father Butler, superior S J.
Grand Coteau, Father Langlois, St. Martins
ville, Father a Forge, Lafayette, Very Rev.
Dubourg, of Breaux Bridge, Father Moise,
of Washington, Father Healy, of Lafayette,
and Rev. F. Segouin, S. J., (they also as
sisted in the religius services), and the fol
lowing gentlemen: Mayor D. A. DI)imitry,
Drs. T. W. Courtney, J. P. Francez, W. W.
Lessly, and Messrs. C. C. Brown, L. G.
Stelly, A. C. Guilbeau, Louis J, Arcenaux,
and Joseph Prejean. When called upon,
during the feast, Dr. J. P. Frances delivered
the following toast:
Monseigneur, Reverend Fathers, Gentle
men-It is the second time, Monseigneur,
that the proud sons of Acadia,-that beauti
iful country lost to France by the weakness
and corruption of Louis XV's government
have the honor to see you among them in
Carencro, the remote corner of your diocese.
The eagerness of the people, coming to the
depot to welcome you with all possible sol
emnity, has certainly begp for you a proof
that neither time, nor change of government
from monarchy to directory, from directory
to empire, from empire to American repub
lie, had any effect on their religious princi
ples. Their Acadian fathers, with strong
hearts, ready to spurn death, or welcome
it as a favor; inaccessible to Luther's faith;
anxious to keep their religious principles
even by exiling themselves; did encounter
the perils of warfare with ferocious Indians,
and no less feroeious Englishmen of the last
century, to settle on the Attakapas prairies,
and there remain faithfuil to their religion
and their language.
The respectable old gentlemen, who sur
round you are the direct descendants of
those exiles. They can testify that when it
was impossible to go where mass was some
times celebrated by a missionary, none of
the fathers of those whom you are albout to
confirm, did ever think of changing his reli.
gious faith. They waited and prayed, full
of hope, that after that long darkness, the
eternal light would prevail. Night did dis
appear, the sun shines now in all its glory,
and in the name of the parish of St. Peter, I
must thank you, Monseigneur ; for, to take
eare of us, you have sent the good and de
voted Father Laforest. And, in raising my
glass, I hope that God will give you long
life, and that your good and noble work will
live forever.
Archbishop Janssens answered in English
complimenting the people, Father Laforest,
on the success of the celebration, and de
clared that it surpassed any reception ten-.
dered him outside of New Orleans.
After the dinner Rev. Father Moise, of
Washington, entertained the guests with se
lections on the piano, and soon convinced
his hearers that he was a true artist in every
sense of the word. The rendition of his
own composition of the nmocking bird was
simply grand, as was testified to by the ap
plause of his appreciative listeners.
It had been intended to christen the lar,,e
bell, received a few days before, but owning
to the unpropitious weather, this ceremony
halt to be postponed, much to the disap
pointmnent of the people.
The music for these two days was furnish
ed by the Carencro brass hand, comiposed of
Prof. Louis Tapissier, I'rof. Chas. Ilicihiel
helm, Hun. O. P. Guilbeau, Messrs. Saul
Broussard, T. Broussarl, l.uiloviz Guilbeau,
O len Guidry, A. Yerg. s. Simonette Breaux,
C. Breaux. These gecntlemen play exceed
ingly well, and lhad kiis.ly volunteered their
services for the occasion. The Gazette con
pliments them on their preficiency, ani trust
they will long maintain their organization as
it is an honor to the town.
In conclusion, let us say that we noticed
with much pleasure, the respect and love
that the people entertain for their pastor,
and he is worthy of their confidence. It
must have been a great pleasure to the Rev.
Father to see how well his parishioners sec
onded his efforts to give the Archbishop such
a magnificent reception, which was carried
through, in all its varied details, without a
single mishap.
Ye Old Folks' Concert.
A fair and appreciative crowd witnessed
the entertainment of "Ye Old Folks' Con
cert" in Falk's Opera House, last Monday
night. A steady rain had been falling nearly
all day, which kept a number of people away,
and had it been fair weather the hall would
have been filled, for the performance cer
tainly deserved a large attendance.
But those who did attend are profuse in
their praises of the admirable rendition of
the novel, interesting and amusing pro
gramme presented. All the arrangements
had been made with an eye to the comfort
of the audience, and was admirably carried
out.
Of the performance at can be truly said
that every part was well sustained, and it i
would, perhaps, be invidious to particularize,
but it is only a matter of justice to say that
little Miss Viola Young certainly excited
the admiration of the audience. In her part
she showed accuracy, distinct articulation,
and judicious pauses, which rendered every
word effective. She deserved the warm ap
plause she received.
Following is the programme:
Annie Laurie......................Miss Lizzie Mudd.
Butterfly Dude.......................Miss Ada Moss.
Recitation, "Elsie" ...........Miss Ida Hopkins.
Who's to Blame........Miss Villa Rushing and
Battle Hopkins.
Driven from Home............Miss Viola Young.
Mascot..............Miss Yolonde Rigues and
H. Van der Cruyssen.
Recitation "I wish I was a boy again".
Tom Hopkins.
Thou has wounded the spirit that loved thee,
Miss Clye Mudd.
Recitation, "Socrates Snooks"............ .Miss
Anna Hopkins.
Come like a beautiful dream........Miss Villa
Rushing.
Come where the billows bloom........Miss Ada
Mass, Mrs. N. P. Moss, Mrs. Biossat,
Mr. Geo. Richard.
Recitations, "How Sockery sit his old blue
hen chicken ........Miss Susie Hopkins.
Billy Boy. ................................J. J. Davidson.
Virginia Reel.......Miss Moss and Mr. lowen,
Miss Mudd and Mr. Givens, Miss
Kelly and Mr. Biossat, Miss Rushing and
Mr. Girard, Miss Parkerson &d Mr.
Richard, Miss Cornay and Mr. Judice.
The entertasnment has netted about S6s
which will be turned over to the treasurer
of the High School fund.
It has been decided to give another
performance on the zIst instance when
several changes will be made in the above
programme. This action has been taken, we
understand, because many people who in
tended coming to th's last none were pre
vcnwd~c by thu bad ivcaihcr.

The person who furnishes items
for a newspaper is always a valua
able friend to the editor. Many I
persons hesitate about sending items
to a newspaper regarding the move
ments of friends lest the editor
should think them anxious to see
their name in print. He will think
nothing of the kind, but on the con
tray he is always glad to get such
items. Many seemingly unimpor
tant notes when printed are news to
a large number of readers.

A CARD.
,'The Railroad Element in Local
Politics."
Under the above caption the edi- J
tor of the Lafayette Advertiser pro- c
ceeds to commit a rape on commonh
decency. And, inasmuch as I have
served my time as a railroad fire
man, and having spent the greater h
part of my life in association with P
railroad men, I consider it a family b
right to answer that editorial of 2
May 30, 1893. I . understand the p
editor of the Advertiser and author
of this article to be Mr. A. C. Ord- "
way, and with him we are dealing. '
He says : "Until the present time
the Advertiser has refrained from
taking sides with either of the par
ties who were candidates at the last
municipal election. But the events
of the last few dlays have left no op
tion in the matter, and we believe s
it is now our duty to call the atten
tion of our people to the 'writing on
the wall,' that they may fully real
ize the menace to good government
contained in the action of some of
the defeated candidates." I
It is strange, but true, that when
ever the devil wishes to accomplish
a dastardly deed through one of his
agents, he gets that agent to lay his
foundation upon falsehood, and theer
editor of the Advertiser keeps as h
close to the record as the bark to a
tree, and we consider it our duty to
tear off the mask from this assassin b
of character, and, in as few words P
as possible, because when the editor
{of the- Advertiser wrote the above
quotation ke knewv it to be as black
a falsehood as the sulphur smoked
regions from whose vaults he re
ceived the inspiration.
A short time before the election
the editor of the Advertiser came to j
to me, and said : " I am doing all
I can for the success of your ticket, r
in fact I am doing indirectly that w
which will do you more good than I
if it wcre done directly. For ins- P
tance, I have inserted extracts J
taken from an exchange that are
complimentary to you, and I will h
continue to do so. Besides this, P
throulh my influence I have prevent
ed the formation of a third ticket
which means and would be the de
feat of your ticket." (Italic ours.)
Look well to the quotation marks. S
How does that tally with his declar
ation of neutrality ? Yes, the hand
writing is on the wall, and the index
finger points to the editor of the
Advertiser as being a liar or a hyp- E
ocrite. Which does he choose ?
Then he proceeds, (look well to Ir
the quotation marks): "The official '
returns of the election showed that o
those gentlemen who now hold theiri
commissions were elected, and the ii
defeated candidates should have
abided by the returns, and we be- -
lieve they would have done so had
they been governed by unselfish and
patriotic motives and a desire to ad
vance the best interest of the town." i
Great Scott ! " Upon what kind
of meat has our Ctesar No. a fed be
that he hath grown so strong?" e"
What twaddle about the best inter
est of our town! 1What brazen ef- b.
frontery for a man who, but a few
months ago, characterized some of
the best people of our town and par- N
ish as being a set of ignorama, be
cause they were opposed to the tax
to build a railroad to Abbeville.
But we digress. Every man on
the Mouton ticket is a property -
owner in this corporation, and
never since the Morgan road was
built to this place has a railroad
man been requested to assist in a
public enterprise that he refused.
In fact they have been the very first
to aid by private contributions every
improvement in our town, and the
feathers of this bird of passage are
too short to be permitted to charge
such people with selfish motives and
a disregard for the interest of Lafa
yette.
We claim to be a peaceable, law e
abiding citizen, and since filling the C
otice of city marshal, there has ft
been only one railroad man before o
tame Ma~yor's court, ahti he livcs in s'
- Houston. It is admitted that we
have election laws. How would the
Advertiser have them enforced, by
the courts, or by armed force?
And will the Advertiser please tell
us which of these two methods would
have the best inipression abroad?
It seems to us that the Advertiser
has placed itself in the same posi
tion as the man who stood with the
devil on one side of him and the
deep blue sea on the other.
Yes, we love peace, dear sweet
peace, next to life itself do we clasp
it to our hearts, but far above this
do we love the rights of the people
and those rights should be maintain
ed regardless of who gets hurt.
We ask leave to answer the other
portion of the Advertiser's editorial
in your next. Faithfully Yours,
CARTER H. BRADLEY.
