Moss spoke to a large and appreciative audience in Falk's opera-house last Tuesday night. At the request of the fire men Lieut. Moss consenteil that 25 cents be charged for admission for the purpose of raising some money to build a tower for the fire alarm bell. Lieut. Moss spoke about an hour and a half and during that time entertained his listeners with a very interesting narrative of the part played by his regiment in the battle of Santiago. He talked in a simple, unaffected manner and by means of several well gotten-up maps gave a clear and intelligible illustration of the assault of El Caney. He told of the splendid courage displayed by both the American and Spanish soldiers on that memorable occasion. He said that the last war had completely wiped out sectionalism and gave ex pression to broad and patri, 'ic ut terances upon this happy result of the recent conflict. We regret our inability to give a more extended notice of Mr. Moss' address, but insert below what he said about the negro soldiers whom he commanded upon the field of battle. W\e print this portion of the address in order that his position on this question be not misunderstood: When I graduated from Vest Point in 1894, the Secretary of War Sassigned rue to a colored regiment, the 25th U. S. Infantry, stationed at Fort Missoula, Mont. Being a Southern boy I did not at first, I must admit, like the idea of serving with colored troops, but I was a soldier and had received an order front a superior, and there was but one thing for mhe to do-obey! After having been with the regi tnent for a while I found the men to be respectful, obedient and good soldiers, and I liked to have such men under miy coru!mand. As you know, I went through the whole Cu(ban campaign in command of colored troops. I need not tell y ou how mean ificentiv our colored regulars fought-their gallant and heroic conduct is now a matter of history. I have been recommended for two brevets for my services at El Caney, and I can but feel that I owe these honors to some extent to the splendid fighting of the negro sol id:ters I that day commanded. Actu ated by a sense of justice, actuated by a sense of giving tulto every man what he earns, I have, therefore, never let an opportunity go by with out praising toy black soldiers for their gallant behavior on that occa sior.. It is merely "('Giving unto God the things that are God's ant giving unto Casar tl.e things that are Ce:sar's." If I should fail to give due credit to the men who dil not hesitate to follow wherever I lead on the field of battle. I would not myvself be a mnan-I would be a puppet atid you yourse!vt-s could not help from think ing less of tme and I could not blame you either. Do not, howet. r, mnisunderstand tmy sentiments on the subject, and judge me to be what is popularly known as a "nigger-wo ,rhipper." I would like to say I acit a tirmn believer in white supremi::cy, and there is no man in this hall to night; there is no man south of the Mason & Dixon line who would resent quicker than I any act on the part of a negro implying social or p,,litical equality, but if a negro does anything deserv ing of praise and credit-in the name of civilization, in the name of all that is good, honorable and just, give him what he has earned. Make it a point to see the pretty selections in holiday goods at the Moss Pharmacy. lHigh School Concert. The Pupils of the Lafayette High School will give a concert at Falk's Opera House at 7:30 o'clock on Friday night Dec. 23, for the pur pose of raising money to build a plank walk to the school. A very interesting and entertaining program has been prepared. rhe Lafayette Orchestra has kindly tendered their services. Admission, 25 cents. Fine candies at Caillouet's Drug store. Dan Burke and John Craig, two tramps, got into a fight over a tin can last Vednesda,-"&t a camp fire near the oil mill and cut each other pretty badly.

The authorized announcement that Henry Austin Adams will give his first five lectures on Leo XIII, Bismarck, Gladstone, Darwin, an(d Tennysn, "the five great men of the Nineteenth century'" that Bishop O'Gorman will deliver a course on the just now very live topic of "'Church and State," and that Rev. Talbot Smith of New York will discourse on Literature, is an earnest o'f ''tle good time comiing" at the Catholic Winter School of America, which opens its fourth annual session at 'ulane I-lail in New Orleans, on February -6th, next, just after the Carnival pageants have been reuired. There are assuring prospects that the Winter School will be largely attend ed, notabilities in Church and educa tion being expected in unusual num ber. The railroads will give the cutoinary reduced rate and exten siou of ticket privileges. Mayor Harrison, supported as he was by the people of Chicago in his fight against the adoption of the or dinance extending street railway fraucnises for a period of fifty years without any adequate compensation to the city, has won a victory over the gang of boodle aldermen, who, it is charged, have been bribed to turn over the streets of Chicago to the street railway syndicate con trolled by C. T. Yerkes. A major ty of thirteen members supported Mayor Harrison in his fight and the defeat of the gang of ringsters in the City Council was so complete that Ino further effort will be wade to pass ithe railroad ordinance unless the municipality receives ample coi:,pen sation for the privilege granted to Yerkes and his associates.-Daily States. A fair will be given in the old church at Grand Coteau on the i8th, I9th and zoth of December, for the benefit ot the parish school. On the last night ot the fair there will be a Chlrist'nas tree for the children. Every evening there will be a the atrical entertainmernt by the stu dent of the college and the school children. The Holidays at Ca-trencro There is a movement on foot to have in the week between Christ nmas and New Ve.tr a fe.stival for the children a:.,li young people of Charencro, which will; it is hoped, be an occasion to be long remenl beredl for its gaiety and amusement. A noble Chri,timas tree, res-lendeiit with lights and tinsel, and beauti ful fruit in the shape of holiday gifts, will be arranged in St. Peter's hall, and the people of Carencro, and also those of the neighnoring towns who will join :herm, propose having a right jolly time. In order not to interfere with the fire side pleasures of either Christmas or New Year, it has been decided to have the affair between the two feasts on Wednesday night, Dec. 23. The tree will bear upon its branches gifts valued at 5, Io and 25 cents, thus suiting the pockets of alt that each may be able to plir chase a souvenir of the occasion. It is desired to make tihis event es sentially a children's festival, al)ppro priate also to the hailppy Christmas time and to the dawning of a bright and hopeful New Year. To this end the program of the entertain ment will be carefully prepared. There will be a little one on hand, Miss Teal Veazey, who will tell what took place on "the night be fore Christmas;" Miss Sarah Brown will give a recitation; the children of the convent will be trained by the capable s:srers for a drill ani a chorus; a veritable Santa Claus, round, rosy and jolly, will lend his pre-ence to delight the children so dear to his heart; eggnog, candy and fruit will be sold, and jollity and good-will to all, characteristic of this happy season, will prevail and all this on the night of Dec. 28, the Feast of the Holy Innocents. A feature of the Christmas tree will be a pleasant surprise in store tor a lucky few. In addition to the gifts drawn from the tree, a present may be hung upon its branches for a child or mother, or teacher, or friend, or perhaps something to gladden the heart of some poor lit tle one who rarely receives the good things of life. The person wishing to make the gift will take it to the mother superior of the convent who will put it upon the tree with card bearing the name of the donor, who will pay for the privilege of using i:.is metl:u,.t, the modest sum of ten cents. The t;. 'd friends of the Carencro people from the neighboring towns, who have on other occasions cor dially united with them and helped in their success, are invited to at tend, and as in the past the verdict has always been that of a pleasant evening spent, so Carencro hopes on this occasion to be able to make the sanme record.
