I . ST. LANDRY CLARION. " Here shall the press the people's rights maintain, Unawed by influence and unbribed by gain." VOL. III, NO. 26. OPELOUSAS, LA., SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1893. SUBSCRIPTION, $1:(0 A YEAR. THE WORLD'S FAIR CHU?.N OF CHINA. A Canton Merchant Who Will Attract At tention at the World's Fair. One of the very prominent men at the Chicago World's fair will be Mr. Chunn of Canton, very nearly or quite the rich est man in that empire. When the Chinese gov ernment, angered at the act exclud J , uing its subjects , I from the United /I States, flatly re fused to take any part, Mr. Chunn called on Consul Charles Seymour at Canton and volunteered to make the Chinese exhibit himself. A cable was at MR. ca~tn. once sent to have the space reserved, and Mr. Chunn, with very little help from other merchants, has organized a very creditable display. The Chinese millionaire is actuated by interest as well as patriotism, for he has built up a considerable trade with the western nations and hopes to greatly extend it by a display of what China has to selL He travels a great deal and in princely style. His face is well known in the large mercantile establishments of Paris, where he has established profit able connections, and he now hopes to do as well in the United States. A Splendid Display For the Fair. The emperor of Germany has con sented to shnd to the World's fair what j11ll be one of the most remarkable and "~BTiZi ve features to be seen at Chicago next year. It will consist of a collection of presents received by Us grandfather, the Emperor William; his father, the Emperor Frederick, and himself from their fellow sovereigns in Europe as well as from the people of Germany, The collection will be intrusted to the care of the Latin-American department, but the conditions under which it will be ex hibited have not yet been announced. The presents consist of jewels and other personal ornaments, silver plate, decora tions and an infinite variety of other articles. The collection is worth mil lions of dollars. Freaks For the Fair. When the Siamese twins were first ex hibited in America, the impression was created that no other such case of a doun ble life was known, but this was an error. Such cases have been at various times, and at least two are now before the pub lic. The colored girls known as Chris Ir ý RO.A-JOBEPHA. tine-Milly are well known, and now two Bohemian girls, known as Rosa-Josepha, are making their way slowly toward America to appear at the World's fair. Unlike the others, they have but one ab domen, though physically perfect above. 1 They are are 15 years old, the offspring of a peasant couple named Balzek, and are fine featured and delicately built, with black hair and the ordinary Bohe mian cast of countenance. They have been on exhibition at times since the age of 6. Of course the separation of such a pair (if pair it may be called) is impossi ble, and both must die at the same time. To Aid Catholic Educational Exhibits. The pope's letter to Bishop Spalding has been printed in nine languages on a sheet of fine paper 16 by 22 inches. The letter in Latin is in the center and is a facsimile of the letter as it came from - Rome. This is surrounded by transla tions in English, Bohemian, French, Ger man, Irish, Italian, Polish and Spanish. arranged in alphabetical order. A copy of this valuable polyglot publication will be mailed to all who, in response to the . invitation of the archbishop's recently published letter, contribute $5 in aid of the Catholic educational exhibit. Cold Storage at the Fair. The Cold Storage or Ice pavilion, as it is called, at the Chicago World's fair grounds is quite an oddity in external appearance, and when fitted up for work will be a place of great interest. It is to be 180 by 255 feet, five stories in height, with four towers, each 100 feet high, for COLD STORAGE PAVILION. observatories, and a central one 191 feet high, which is to be utilized as the smoke stack and to do duty as an architectural ornament. s'he builders claim it will be the most artistic smokestack ever erect ed. At least 80 tons of ice will be man ufactured daily during the fair, and the machinery is so arranged that a large crowd of visitors can witness the whole process. Similarly all the methods of cold storage will be shown. Architec turally the building is of the Roman eeque order. HIS NARROW ESCAPE. The Train Was Stopped In Time to Avert a Disaster. He had just boar h'd a Fourth street car when his face turned ashen gray, and withI a choking sound in his throat he clutched at his inside pocket, leaped from the plat form into the street with a cry of "Stop that train! Stop that train!" and darted down Central avenue like a maniac, overturning a banana stand, knocking down a small newsboy and eluding the clutch of a vigi lant policeman who pursued him on a run with a roar of "Stop thief stop!" "Stop that train!" he yel.ed to theeleva tor boy as he sprung through the entrance of the Grand Central, tripped over the rub ber mat and rolled headlong into the wait ing room. "Stop that train, for heaven's sake!" he screamed as he jumped down the stairs in mad leaps, crushed a woman's bonnet box and knocked the breath out of a Cleveland traveling man in his furious flight. "Will no one stop that train?" he wailed as he fought with the turnstile tender at the gate, and at last, hurling him back against the grating, plunged through the gate and ran down the shed on the wings of the-wind waving a parcel over his head in a des airing appeal to the brakeman on the rear platform of the fast disappearing New York vestibule limited. "Stop that train, for the sake of all that's holy!" he howled as he butted a truckman in the stomach and upset a tram of 15 sar atogas. "Stop that train!" shouted the trainmen in the shed. "Stop that train!" whooped the passengers from the windows of the other cars along the way. "Stop that train!" shrieked the disheveled and terror stricken man, pallid with fear. "Stop that train!" With a grinding of wheels far out in the years and a snort of steam the engine stopped. The conductor leaped to the ground and ran back, pale with anxiety, to t the spot. The porter climbed half way out of the window with starting eyes, and the breathless man, darting up to the car, hung gaspingly to the rail as he handed to the brakeman a package and choked: "Please hand them to Mary-they're her e curlin irons--she would 'a' skinned me alive Sef I'd a forgot 'em." As the train rounded the last turn of the old canal bed a brakeman with a face like a thundercloud passed through the coaches solicitously inquiring for Mary.-Cincin nati Commercial Gazette. L Was Not to Be. r The old man sitting in the dim twilight - had a red nose, while the entire countenance r of the youth who leaned dejectedly against I- the mantel was of alabaster whiteness. Yet they were obviously father and son. The younger heart had confessed a secret. It bled with hopeless love. "My boy" The parental voice trembled with sympa thy. --"why do you say hopeless? There is no woman so proud she cannot be won, , none so good that you" - His eyes rested proudly upon the droop I- ing figure of his offspring. -"are not worthy of her." The head, which time had yet to touch with frosting fingers, shook sadly. "You do not know, sir" His words came in halting accents. -"whereof you speak. You are not aware how immeasurably superior to my station is that of her whom I adore." "Who is this paragon?" demanded the father. "The hired girl." They wept together. It was one of those distressing instances of affection that must be stifled because its gratification is impossible.-Detroit Trib une. Didn't Know Abon. A traveler entering the leading hotel in the city named for the Jayhawker State found two registers lying on the counter. He paused, pen in hand, and with the ques tion, "Which one?" waited for the clerk to show him where to put his autograph. Turning over a fresh page, the man with the diamond pin said: "Put your name here, sir, just at the top." The pilgrim, as he proceeded to do so, asked, "Is this the book which Abou Ben Adhem had?" "What?" queried the clerk, with a look expressive of more or less uncertainty and in a tone calculated to repress any attempt at joking. "I say," the traveler replied, "is this the book in which Abou Ben Adhem's name is written?" Then a light spread over the clerk's face, and while he turned the book around he said, with the manner of one who under stood, but was thinking of something else: "Well, really, I don't know. You see, we have so many people coming here that I can't keep track of them."-St. Louis Globe Democrat. Somewhat of a Bull. Mr. P. H. Winston and Hon. H. A. Gilli am were for years leaders at the Bertie county (N. C.) bar and had each a full ap preciation from experience of the skill of the other. At one term Mr. Winston was suddenly called away and placed his busi ness in the hands of his nephew, Duncan Winston, a recent acquisition to the bar. "Now," said he, "Duncan, if Gilliam makes you any offer of a compromise decline it. If you make him one and you find he is about to accept it, withdraw it immediate ly."-Green Bag.
