Thbodlaux, Ia. June 9,0h. 1900.
Ths Loeper Home.
We have. before us the hi annual
report of the Board of Control of
this home made to the Governor and
the General Assembly. This home
is entihli-h,.d on the Indiantl Camp
'lantation, in Iherville. Whi e on.
tier the charge of a Board of Control
who look after its business and the
financial affairs, its interior manage.
ment is in the handa of the good
Sisters of Charity. Of the work of
these lhu.nle servants of the Lord,
Mr M. I). Logan, President of the
oardl, says :
"The chief credit of what is being
done at the Ieper Home is due to
Sister Superior Beatrice and the
three other Sisters of Charity in
charge, who relieve us so entirely of
all the details of management of
domd ste affairs, the nursing and
providing for the canfoit of the
ptients. What we may all do for
the Lepier Holme is nothing tmciparel I
to their unoutentalious work."
Elsewhere' he says : "the affairs of
the Home, thanks to ti e watchfiiuess
and patience of the Si-teis, run
smoothty."
Dr. Pierce, the physician in charge,
also speaks highly of the good woilk
of the Sisters. lie says:
"The rest of the patients. on the
whole, have enjoyed excellent health,
and are happy and content~ed as l,
sible under the solicitous and sym
pathetic care of the Sisters, who wash
and dress their sores, administer
their medicine and nourishment when
sick, providing for their amusements,
giving daily readings to those who
wih it, and nsmatructing-the young ini
the primary branchdies of learning."
The present number of p.tlients
living in the Home is thirty, among
wh mi are several'under twenty-one
years of age. There is a girl of 11
years, another of 13 years and a boy
of 12 years. Iu the girl of 11 and
the boy of 12, the disease made its
appearance when they were only
sevea years of age.
The helpless condition of mrny of
these unfortunate patients is thus
noted by Sister Beatrice in her re.
port:
"It is painful to witness the break.
ing down physically of many of the
lepers whom we found here when we
took charge, four years ago. Men
and women who were able and will
img to render some service, both to
themselves and others, are now in a
conditimn of complete inaction be.
cause hands or feet or eyes are a'
most useless from the inroads of the
disease."

fled within the time required by the
statute. This appointment renders
the Governor a particeps crimitis in
the violation and overthrow of a man
datory statute. We have been under
the impression all the time that the
man from Union so signally honored
by the Democratic party beyond his
just deserts, was a smooth bore po!i
tician of small calibre and now we
are immovably fixed antd steadfastly
confirmed in that opinion. - The
Louisiana 1)emocrat.
It takes mighty little to confirm
the Democrat steadfastly. But, per
It:mis, it was "st.'adifa-tly confirmed
all the while In th," desire to find fa:tult
with and criticize the Governor, and
was only too glad of a pretext to
register a little kick. No harm done.

The Passate of Mr. Price'a Bill
Ased.
Since writinig our editorial on lock
ing Bayou lafourche, the glad tidlings
have come from the State cfpit:ml that
Senator Price's bill relating to the
locking of the bayou hadul been con
sidered in joint committee of the
senate and house, and unsanimously
reported favoraly. That action prac
tically insures its enactment into law,
and. to use a common expression, it
is "all over with hut the shouting."
Still, remembering the old saying
Sabout shouting, we de.m it prudent
ito defer the shouting to some later
date. In the meantime let the good
work he pushed on to a succe~asful

The Ooumii Cherry.
The SENTINEL re:urns thanks to
Mebsrs T. .Jay Lacy & Co. the pros
prictors of the well known Mount
Hope Nursery at Washington, La.,
for a box of Goumii Cherries, one of
the best early fruits of this country.
The cherries are fine and have a
pungent taste. Messrs. Lacy & Co.
write of the Goumii : ."It is one of
the best early fruits of this country.
The bush begins to bear When very
young, and bears abundant crops
every spring, no matter what the
weather is.
This is a new fruit of our own
intrdution from Japan. It grows
from 3 to 10 feet high, bears the
second summer after planting, and
ripens its fruit in May. The fruit is
about the size, shape and color of
the C! auberry, with one very small,
long seed in the center. It may be
eaten r.cw or used for cooking ; 40
cents each ; $3 for 10 tress."
The reputation of the "Mount
Hope Nursery for straight gool s and
fair dealing is well established, and
people who contemplate investing in
fruit trees wou'd do well to corres'
pond with its proprietors on tl.e
subject.

Heavy Rains Da Damage.
The heavy rains of the past two
weeks have caused serious dtl:mage to
the crops. The Isoato and onion
growers of this p'erish will prove the
heaviest losers. The potatoes in the
ground will prove a total f:eilure,
while the unharvested ripe onions will
be seriously damaged.
The young corn and the pea crop
will also be seriously affected, if not
totally ruined.
Even young rice suffered, for it was
in many instances entirely covered by
water for several days.
The rainy spelwll was broken last
Thursday which was passed without
rain, the first in ten or twelve days.

Against Divorce.
News com3s from Cuba that the
lawyers of that Island are against le.
galizing divorce annl have petititioned
Governor General Woods against the
proposed change in their h.w. They
are wise in their generation in thus
trying to prevent the livorce evil
from taking a foothold among there.
Renovated.
For sometim*. pass the process of
renovating the interior of St. Joseph's
Churh has been going on under the
skilful brush of Messrs. Joseph A.
TronB & Son, painters, employed by
Father Dubourg for the purpose.
The sanctua y and the walls of the
church have all been painted. The
work was timely and has been well
done.
Comm:sions Ieetived.
The sheriff, the clerk of court, the
coroner and the ward officers-elect,
that is, the police jurors, have re
ceivel their commissions, or rather
their commissions have been received
here.
They will soon qualify, with the
exception of the police jurors who
may wait until the 2nd of July, so as
to give the present police jury time
to wind up old business at their
meeting on that day.

retained counsel to enjoin the town
