"Winter meeting opened to-day, didn't It? asked a dreamy looking young man yesterday afternoon of a friend In a treet car.

"Winter parting, you mean." waa the retort, i "And. aay. can yon let me have five until the 1st of the month?" And tbe dreamy looking young man looked dreamier than ever and failed to bear. "I believe tbe By the By column," said a resident of New Orleans, "is a good Index to the people of thia city. There are many scenes and Incidents pictured in It that I recognize as true to life In New Orleans, and the characteristics of the different types of the city portrayed In ita paragraphs strike a responsive chord In tbe hearts of all who appreciate our beautiful city and lta good people."

A theatrical agent who had won eomo-thlog on McKlnley's election was chaffing a aupporter of Bryan.

The newa of tbe death of Edwin Bush, which occurred at Cincinnati about ten daya ago. awakened a flood of recol-leetlona in thia city among the many who knew and loved him. Mr.

I did not know If the family knew of tbe drowning, and waa worried half to death lest I should have to break the newa te bia mother or sisters. Beaching the residence, I rang the bell. It was answered by a pretty girl. Her prettlness confused me sll tbe more.

'Is Mr. In? I asked. The young lady said he had left the city on a business trip. mean Mr. I said.

To this the pretty girl replied very softly and gently: "He Is dead. He waa drowned a little while ago. My only thought then was one of relief that I did not have to break the newa, and what do yon think I did? Well. sir. I forgot everything except my own relief and blurted out: That'a I don't know what the girl thought.

She stared at me. turned and re-entered the house, and I had to get a next-door neighbor to get me tbe photograph and lteuu for the biography." ARM!" OF ORTHER. VIRGINIA.

Vice Coasal Bala Coasiders tbe Coastrsvrtloa of the Iater-Oeeaaie Railroad aa Incentive Ttcaeiaalra Haa Electricity aad lee Factories. Mr. W. J. Bain, vice consul to San Pedro.

Spanish Honduras, was last week "a visitor in New Orleans. Tail, fine looking, with a wonderful English complexion, which so far hus uefled all the suns of Europe, Asia and Central America, Mr. Bain proved to be a cultured man of travels and a typical English gentleman, who knows all the civilized world by heart and still preserves an enthusiasm for Spanish Honduras, which speaka volumes for that iittle republic. Mr. Bain greeted the representative of The Times-Democrat cordially and spoke at some length of tbe paper's great popularity In the country of bis adoption.

He said the people down there deeply appreciate the important service Tbe Times-Democrat invariably renders In their behalf and adverted to tbe peculiar Interest they take in special departments of the paper. Mr. Bain himself has been a regular reader of tbe paper for the laat five years. He launched Into the subject of Spanish Uonduranean affairs with a willingness and interest that was balm to the spirit of a Jaded reporter used to eliciting information in interviews with the aid of a thumb-ajrew. "1 wish," said Mr.

Bain, aa he removed a distinctly Lngiisn mackintosh and portmanteau troin the easiest chair and deposited them on a swell leather trunk that is invsriably a part of the Impedimenta of a traveling Britisher, "I wish that you could run down there and have a look at Spanish Honduras. You would then do it justice. 1 am afraid I cannot, "It is something like Louisiana, only Intensihed. You have bananas; we have more of them. You have palmettos; we have stretches of palms.

The houses of the natives are all adobe with thatched roofs of banana and palm leavea. and under the groves outside these quaint homes swing the broad cloth hammocks that are seldom vacant of an occupant. As you ride up to pay an afternoon call, hot and consequently thirsty. It is very plsasant to see your soft-voiced Spanish host rise from his afternoon siesta in a hammock and with true southern hospitality offer you a palm leaf fan and an iced drink of a distinctly civilized flavor. Yes.

the people are pretty ana lazy, and almost entirely Spanish, though In the larger cities there are a great many English and Americana." "What chance do vou think there is for a union of all these small republican" asked the reporter. "A union of the five republics. Costa Rica, Nicaragua. San Salvador. Guatemala and Honduras is inevitable and will doubtless soon take place.

Ita deference ail these years is due entirely te tbe Jealousy of the different Presidents. As Guatemala Is the largest and strongest of the countries, the President would alwaya be a Guatemalan, anu this thought does not ia the least please the others. They would lose the authority which they now have and be obliged, term after term, to alt amillug by while a man from Guatemala stepped Into tbe presidential chair and cracked the whip and pulled the reina of government and got all the glory. "However, these petty Jealousies sre dying out and a convention is now being held to see what can be done. It will doubtless in a declared union." "How arc" revolutions down there?" asked the reporter.

"Very well, thank you," replied the vice consul with a touch of humor not to be expected from an Englishman, "and I am happy to say, infrequent. The last one, I believe, was some seven years sgo, when I was consul at Comayagua, tbe old capital of the country. "It was rather exciting, and when it was all over there was much to laugh at. There were 3sj rebels, and only 4o0 of us. I bad all tbe women and children come to my house, which was the safest flace, and the men eongicjiated there, too.

was a quaint, old bouse with a courtyard and bitf uiany-paned windows, and when 1 saw that the Insurgents were going to open fire I called to all to drop to tbe floor aud escape tbe shots which might come through the windowa. It was really laughable to see tbe wsy they tumbled down, the fat on top of tbe thin, and one very stout lady in a panic squeezed herself between a massive oak cabinet and the wall, and when the rebels bad retired with their colors down we found her and with difflcnlty got her out." "Tell me something of the exports of the country." "Well." said Mr. Bain, "the principal exports are India rubber, aarsaparllia. deerskins, hides, cacao for cocoa, and coffee. These mostly go to New York and England: and there is also chicle, used for chewing gum.

It Is obtained from the chicle tree, which we bleed as they do strangers In some countries. "lnlanl here a re lovely stretchea of grai-Ing lands, where cattle are raised to supply the whole of Central America. Wheat is grown in the hills, and really tbe country can produce anything, though the chief proluct is coffee. The coffee of Spanish Honduras is quoted in London at the very highest price, and the magnificent coffee estates are in the hands of American capitalists from the North. "By the way.

there is a good chance for New Orleans to extend her trade with us In th imitter of iiroceries. clothing acd such, as some New Y'ork people have a concession from the government to open what will lie called the Interoccanic Rail-ron-l. running fnm Port Cortex to the l'iii-iiic ce.m. New towns and more sup plies wiil be needed, and here wiil be the nr ''iieans uiert imuis. in the matter of modern improvements, by the by.

we are ijuire up-to-date. Tegncl-culpa. the cupital. is a charming place. There is all the luxuries of eletrt ricit at S.in Pedro, and between there and Cortez is a flourishing ice factory.

Our trade with Now Orleans is in bananas. We receive eroceries from you. but this system of quarantine for slv months does much harm to the trade. There are gold and silver mines and coal mines, newly-rii-u-overed. In the interior, and now I realiv Iwlieve I have exhausted the little republic' perfections." Mr.

Bain has been consul In Spanish Honduras for the greater part of eleven years. He resigned the consulship of the capital, but was reappointed to San Pedro. Mr. Bam. after spending many pleasant days In New Orleans, hss just sailed back to the rolden.

The matter was reported to Mayor Flower, who yesterday morning called a eiecial meeting of the finance committee of the City Council for tbe purpose of being advised by them as to what to do In the premises. There were pri-sent at tbe meeting Messrs. lirlt-tin. Ricks, Meader and PeUeren.

and they advised that all the facta in connection with the missing book be given the public through the press. Thereupon Mayor riower muiiiioiW the representatives of tbe dillercut papers and tuade the following statement: -A short time after the new admlnia-tratlou us iuaucted into office tbe acting treni-iirer.

Hagan to the otiice. who paid the bill. fcUortiy after that there was a discovery of another discrepancy of 12 in a bill of K. Moore, for which no return had been made. In tbe same way ilaean settled thia up.

Toward the latter part of Ooto-Ixt Mr. Watson noticed a tax tall of Ixmla liuch. principal and coois amountei to SV'-i and no return had been itiadt on tlic c-h lKk by Hagan for that amount. altbouL on tne sheet sent to the roller the amount had lieen tntered so that it would apjuirently look as if a settlement tad teen made wiih the ciiy. A a matter of fact, tbe bill had lieeu paid April 14.

but the credit entry on the Comp troller's sheet was Feb. 14, or two months previously thereto. Mr. tiienck was notified of this matter. As a result.

Mr. Hagan and one cf bis bondsmen called at the oBc-e and on the foiioa ibe day. the 2d of the month, the check of Mr. T. J.

Bralnard Rorlson. at ths 8t Charlaa Hotel, last night waa urging some Louis iana Republicans to send a Pingres dele gation to ths next national convention Tbe fact was recalled that In February last Mr. Rorlson waa quoted In The Times-Democrat aa saying that Mayor FlngTM would be nominated and elected Governor of Michigan, and would be tbe Republican presidential candidate ia 1900. Ths first part of ths prediction haa come true. Mr.

Rorlson aald: "Tbe Michigan Republican State committee, on the day of ejection, atated. through the Associated Press, that Major McKinlev would Dull Pincree through. As it turned out McKlaley pulled Mayor Plngree along so hard that ringree land ed votes shea a of tne presidential candidate.

Yesterday evening Miss Russell became so indisposed that it waa a question aa to whether she would be able to go on In the matinee performance, and last night her Illness took such an acute form that her playing was out of tbe question. The trouble of Miss Russell Is so se rious that all eng-apementa for the coming week have been canceled, and the actress will proceed directly to Chicago, where It may be necessary to resort to an operation in order to quell the indispositiou. When she became aware that it was impossible for her to appear Miss Russell waa con siderably grieved, on account of being compelled to disappoint an audience last year while playing at tbe Grand, and not wishing to repeat the fiasco. She insisted upon playing, but by the advice of ber medical advisers consented to remain at the hotel.

The American Beauty" waa put on the boards notwithstanding the enforced absence of Miss Russell, her part being taken by Miss Catherine Unyard. who had been previously cast in the part of "Miss Budd." Many of the people who had purchased tickets for tbe final performance, when apprised of the illness of Miss Russell, gave up their tickets and received In return their money, but a large number remained to witnesa tbe opera. The people who remained were riven a decided treat, for notwithstanding the decided eharma of Miss Russell and her delightful yoice, her temporary successor succeeded in pleasing the audience to the utmost. Miss Linyard appeared here several years ago lu a leading role in the "Little Tycoon at the time iseabrooke was in tue cast, and created a very favorable opinion then on account of the sweetness aud delicacy of her voice. Last night, although she was compelled to assume the part on short notice.

Miss Linyard was undeniably a success, and sang her Lsin.to tho front rank the nublic's apnreciatiou. She 'possesses a voice of excellent quality ana range, ana in ner mgu notes is particularly strong. At no tiaie does her voice lose Its delightful character. In the different solos her vocal executiou was ahne, while in the final choruses her clear tones rang out sweetly above the others and created a harmony that could not be discredited. While there was sympathy for Miss Russell, there was.

too, a decided admiration for Miss Linyard. snd she was encored time and again during her rendition of the part. She waa received with enthusiastic cheers when called before the curtain. The Russell comblnalon will leave this morning for Chicago. ELOCITIOX RECITALS.

A new mystic organization will make Its first appearance at this Carnival, to be named the "Mystic Krewe of Puritans" not a conglomeration of makers of blue laws. as. perb a pr, the last word of the title might sugeest. but a real live band os merry-makers, who will be seen on the streets in a gorgeous display and detail of organization as can be expected from a society in its infancy. "The "Krewe," like all kindred Carnival organizations, is a mystic one, composed of well-known and Influential citizena of tbe lower district, whose Identities will be concealed, and who are most enthusiastically imbued with that spirit of pro-gressiveness that will insure good results.

While it is the desire of tbe organisation to bare a display that will be comprehended by all, yet It will be devoid of that system which characterizes the rep rva-entiitious of to-day in the selection of mythological and ancient historical subjects. It is also the intention of the Mystic Krewe of Puritans to inaugurate the Carnival by glvluj; its pageant a few nights previous to Mardi liras proper; that is either on Thursday or Friday night. The parade will lie followed by a bail, and another innovation toward perpetuating the custom of New Orleans in the celebration of its Mardi Gras will be introduced. The officers were Installed last Thursday night, and flowing bumpers of chami ague were drunk, coupled with greetings to the Carnival court-rook Stoves aad Heating; Moves of all kioda are la order.
