One of the noteworthy events of the local theatrical season was the prcesentation of Paul Leicester Fotd('e .Jani,-e Meredith" by Wm. Bonelli and Mliss Rose Stahl. The play is well known throughout the country, in fact, from its first appeaiance upon the boards it was popular, hav ing been ushered in by the author's famous noyel of that name. Wm Bonelli as Charles Fotwnes the bondman, who afterwards turns out to be John Brereton, gave a masterly impersonation of that char acter. 3liss Rose Stahl's Janice was realistic; she seems to have mastered every shade of meaning in the text and her interpretation was natural and graceful. The support furnished by their company was strong and very satisfactory, there being no notic.alble weak feature in it.

The Comnpaluy opened its engagelment here last Sunday night with "The New Married Mlan." On Monday it de, lighted the play.goers with "Socth after the WVar," and on Tuesday the attraction was "A Man of the People," which was well received by the au dience. On Wednesdiy 'What ilfI, pened on Friday" was presented at a matinee, and in the evening "Little Lord Fauntleroy" held sway. On Thursdlay and Ftiday, respectively, were pih:yed "A Family Affair" and "Jesse James." This afternoon "Lit tie Lord Fauntleroy" will be played at a matinee and to night the comni pany will close its present engage ment by a minstrel show. Mr. Scott takes the title rOle in all of the plays, and in every case ac quits himself with credit; he is sup ported by a company of competent actors, and the ensemtle fails not to satisfy the audience. lMr. Scott fulfilled a successful en gagemeut here last year and the public knew what to expect from his company from its past performances and it has not been disappointed this time.

They bid for a con tract to furaish the jail with a con demned cell but the Jail committee deferred the matter unti the next regular meeting of the Police Jury which will be held in January. Work on the jail is fast nearing completion and it has been greatly improvedl, the interior has been corn pletely remodeled and it now presents a comfortabe appearance in com parison to what it formerly did. The Police Jury certainoly did a humane act when it contracted for the ta provement of the Parish jail.

THE AX FALLS IN ALABAMA And Other Lily Whites There Stand in Fear of Decap itation. Julian HI. Bingham, Collector of Internal Revenues for the District of Alabama, a recent appointee of Pres. ident Roosevelt, has been kicked out of office, for reasons stated by Post master General Payne as follows: ,:The change in the office of Col lector of Internal Revenue for the District of Alabama in no wise reflects upon the integrity or ability of Mlr. Bingham, the incumbent of the office. It is one of those things which oc casionally happens in po!itics. The position taken by the Republicans of Alabama at theit recent State Con vention as unterstood by the Repub licans of the North is looked upon as a perversion of the fundamental prino ciples of the Republican Party, and Mlr. Biugham is, in a measure, held responsible for that action; hence the change. "Neither the Administration nor the Repdamin Party of the North will stand for the exclusion of any section of our people by reason of their race or color, when in other respects such persons have complied with the laws and are eligible under the law to full and free participati.,n inu political action, and are of a high standard of personal character. In other words, there are now a hundred colored men in Alabama who come up to the requirements of the recent Iyadopted State Constitution, and are e'igible for bparticipantion in politi cl atlffirs, and the action of the Re publican Convention referred to in arbitari;y excluding them is not ap p)roved, no more than such action would he approved if it were taken in Ohio or Indiaua." A Washington disj atch adds : "The direct cause of Bingham's removal, it is said, was the protest of negro Icelegstious which called on tht President tiom Northern and South. era States. It is said that three other high Federal officials in this State are slated for decapitation in pursuatnce of the President's policy of punishing the white Rtepublican leaders of Ala iama. To further emphasize his position it is understood that Roose velt will have a negro appointed chief deputy clerk in the office of Internal Revenue Col!ector, and will place negroes in other subordinate Federal positions in this State." CASTOR IA wFor Ihat sad Chilrmes. Bears the Sugar House Burnt, The sugar factory of Messrs. Na quin & Roussel, situated on the right ascending bank of Bayou Lafourche, at a short distance above Ialblie ville, in Assumption parish, was com pletely destr'yed by fire. A report obtains that the fire started in the sugar maker's room in which a light ed lamp was left, and it is supposed exploded. This rumor, however, we have been unablle to verify, and we give it for what it is worth. The contents of theim sugar hous: were also lost, and while there was some insurance, it is far from suftl cieut to make good the loss suctai:ed Charley's Aunt And Jane. realped a rich harvest from their American tout and certainly took their audiences by storm.

Stop, Look, and Listen. Last Monday the Supreme Court of the State rendered a decision ii which ftIgain reiterated the doctrinen that on apl roaching a railroad cross ing one must "stop, look, and listen" to satisfy himself that there' is no danger from an approaching train, before he ventures to croes. The rule is thus stated mn the syllabus of the ease: 1. One who reaches a railway ciossing on a public highway is under the duty to btop, look and hlsten, and if a train be approaching, it is his further duty to so act as to minimize the danger and insure his safety, if possible, ualer the circumstances and conditions then confronting him. 2. The party who has the last clear opportunity of avoiding ano accident must, notwithst.nding the negligence of his opponent, avail himself of that opportunlty. 3. The greater the difficulty of seetog and hearing the train as he approaches a crossing, the greater caution the law imposes upon tbq taveler.

The present trip of Mr. Dixon and Mr. Thomas was made for the purpose of acquiring 160 acres as frontage on Bayou Lafourche. They expect to begin work early next year on an ir rigation canal, andl they will also need the bayou frontage for transporta tion purposes. They recently bought a dredgeboat for the canal work.
