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 audience which witnessed it
was htbhly pltased with the treat
that had been afforded them.

The Ge. W. Scott Stock Co, he!d
full sway on the boards at the Thibo
daux Opera House during the week,
and gave general satisfaction to al'
who attended the performneces. 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.

Messrs. F. B. Hlhl, of Jackson,
Miss. andl 1. N. Bexter of New Or

interest of the Pauly Jail Company
which is now engaged in remodeling
the parish jail. 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. Let it
now appropriate some funds for the
repair of the court boans, for decay
is fast gaining hold and if allowed to
go unchecked much longer, Lauorche

having one of the prettiest and most
substantial court houses in the State.

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."

The sugar factory of Messrs. Na

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:

their audiences by storm. There

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 following item of interest to

1'1r. W. TIl. Junk. of Dixoi, Ill.,
Prtsident of the Golden Meadow
Development Company, and Mr. E
F. Thomas, of Mount Morrison, Ill.,
one of the directors of the Company,
arrived here yesterday, after a visit
to the nmlnpanv's lands in LJafourche
Parish, and put niup at the Hotel
Den chatld.
The Company owns a tract of
25.000 acres in Lafourehe Parish,
which was acquired several months
ago. This is not under cultivation
now, but they expect to have it
planted and producing rice by next
season. The entire tract will be de
voted to the cultivation of rice. 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.
Mr. Tbcmas and Mr. Junk were ap.
pointed a commission to make the
purchase of thejrontage tract.
The Company is capitalized at
$200,000. By next season it is ex
petted that rice will he under cultiva

Before toe, the undersigued notary
