STEAMER MAJESTIC PROVES POPULAR EXCURSION BOAT.

To New Orleans' varied list of attractions and amusements is added the excursion steamer Majestic, a craft of magnificence, which has readily won a place among the pleasureloving public. "Safety First" is the motto of the management of the new steel hull, non-sinkable excursion steamer Majestic, which is likewise the largest and safest steamer afloat I in Southern waters; 250 feet long, 50 feet wide and has five decks. Hbll construction is all steel, with 21 water-tight compartments, and the cat pacity of the boat is 2,500 passengers without crowding. Every afternoon at 3 o'clock day-light excursions show to hundreds of 1 New Orleans visitors the sights of New Orleans' harbor, and competent instructors explain in detail the many I different points of interest that may be viewed from the decks of the Majestic. Every evening at 8:30 the boat leaves the landing at the foot of CaI nal stret, and the mirror dreamland danec cabin, 40x200 feet, is the merry scene of hundreds of couples dancing I to the Majestic classy orchestra mu-sic.

Novelty entertainments are being planned and these will be announced later. Best of order is maintained I and F. W. Wisherd, general amnager for the Majestic Excursion Company, says that no rowdyism will be A asqthe basete uth to conlncd one only the best of people are along. METHODIST APPOINTMENTS.

Other cities have taken the available supply of government turkeys, and New Orleans need expect no decreased price in this Thanksgiving necessity, says Harry Armstrong. Mr. Armstrong was to handle the turkeL stuation in this city. He said he could have obtained a hfine flock of chickens; but he doubted if the public weould consider thirtysix lconts an invlttg figure for ehickens, so he parled themh up. Judge at Mrs.

Local Man Will Be President of Company. The Oneida Sales Company is now in process of organization, in fact, they have gone further than that; they have already established their plant in Algiers, formerly occupied by the Algiers Sash Factory, where they will build truck bodies for the Oneida truck, which will be handled here in large quantities. The Oneida Sales Company has already established a salesroom in the cits, wihe a eo have ao display one, two three trucks for immediate delivery. One of 'the entrances of the city headquarters is at 7,41 St Charles street and the salesroom runs through the block to 740 Carondelet street, having openings on both streets. The company has already on hand many trucks and the establishment of their factory in Algiers for the purpose of building bodies is well under way.

We understand that Mr. Mark Morse will be in charge of the Algiers factory, where seven or eight individual motors have already been installed, concrete floorings put in throughout the entire building, and they will be ready within a short time to construct the bodies for these trucks. We have it from very reliable sources that Mr. William H. Ward, of the Algiers Saw Mill, will be president of the Oneida Sales Company, and Mr.

Peter S. Lawton and Geo. Peterson will be connected with the concern. Mr. Ward has been one of our thrifty and valuable eitizens on our side of the river.

He has developed a small industry which he took over after the death of Mr. to one of the largest mills in the South, including its branches, on the city side of the river. Mr. Ward has always taken an active interest la anything that looked for the betterment of our town. During our recent world war he served on the 13th Exemption Board.

The matter of the success of an institution of this kind is almost assured, for the fact that Mr. Ward will be at the head of it. He has always been very conservative in business matters and takes long looks before he makes any leap in the commercial world. The establishment of the factory for making truck bodies on this side of the river is quite an adged industry for our town and we congratulate the Algiers incorporators for bringing this industry to our side of the river. The "Oneida Truck" is one of the well known trauks ptreded in the country today.

The thasses ad engines are manufactured and assembled in Minmneota and are shipped here, where they am put together an given their needed bodies for the purpose for which they are sold.

Misses L. Egan and C. Albert and Mr. J. Dowling were our recent visitors.

They all seemed well pleased with the excellent work being done in the different grades. During their regular lesson periods the boys of the Manual Training classes lpve eded in ewllng a portion oter ihew' building, and eonstructing a few of the lockers. Both Mr. J. Pierce, the supervisor of this branch of school work, and Mr.

Ortland considered same very good results of the boys' efforts. We appreciate their work, which although not perfect, was done excellently and willingly, and we know that they are proud to know that they have contrib uted in some small way towards ing the building complete. The last day of the second quarter is very near and a second report will soon be issued. It is to be hoped that they will show a vast improvement to those of the last quarter. If more boys remained at home at night and did some old-fashioned home study instead of attending shods and playing in the streets, school results would improve greatly.

'Without preparation at home, school work suffers. Every child may not be intelligent nor able to grasp ideas quickly, but he at least should be studious, attentive, well-behaved, and at all times polite to his teachers. Will the parents cooperate with us in helping to make their children better citizens? Results will show if they do. Don't forget odr 'Mane4," which will take place Saturday, November 29th, at the Avenue. The same committees have been appointed and we hope they'are all working hard for success.

Tickets will be issued in the near future. RED CROSS. The drive for Red Cross membership in the Juvenile Division began in Belleville school at the same time as the membership drivei'n the adult division. It has been progressing nicely and is still continuing. Belleville hopes for 100 per eeut as It had in each of the former years.

THRIlT. A school teller helps in thrift-work with children. That, in Bellevls, Ms led on to the purchase of Stamps, United States stamps and even to Iberty Bnds. This year the desirability at each individuel, no matter how yung, ewning a "really truly bank account" is being stressed. The idea is that each child may learn by savils and earning his awn meney to establish an asecount which will be a Just source of pride and a real assistance to him in his later life.

Bu this best when children attend school regularly. Parents, take advantage of the opportunity offered you. Send your children to school and keep them there. They will be trained to think for themselves. They will develop into a people who look out upon life in a wholesome, open-minded way, and who realize that where efforts of energy and earnest endeavor prevail, assured success follows.

They spent about two hours in visiting the different departments and viewing the several 'different devices used in the preparation and development of the different subjects. Before leaving, they were entertained with dainty refreshments by the girls of the Seventh and Eighth Grades.

Miss Thomas and her faculty were very much pleased with their visit and expressed a wish to come soon again. We witll be very happy to have them come at any time that they feel so inclined and we will also welcome any visitors at all, after school hours, If they will only let us know that they are coming. Miss Caroline Lehman spent part of the day in the school last Tuesday. While thew, she examined the arms of the pupils, who had been veeolated during thd year. She will pay us a visit again, In the very neor fature, sad will give each pupil a thorough melical.examination and deliver a lecture to the pupils in general.

Miss Elisabeth Guillot is very much better, though not well enough to be at school yet. Miss Isetta Brnst, of New Orleans is filling her place very creditably during her abm00ce. JOHN HURT.

HARPER, PROPRIETOR, BECOMES LOCAL AGENT OF "OVERLA ND CAR." One of the latest commercial additions to our town is the garage and machine shop lately established by Mr. R. A.

Harper, in Delaronde street, between the river and Seguin street. Mr. Harper not only has established an up-to-date machine shop, with electrical motor for power, but he has also equipped the place as a first-class garage, and has recently been appointed the local agent for the west side, including McDonoghville, Gretna, Harvey, Amesville, for the Overland car. Mr. Harper is one of our youngest business men and he is a genuine little hustler and it goes without saying that we will see many Overland cars operating on this side of the river, due to his emphatic energy.

One of the principal features in the sale of the "Overland car that Mr. Harper is making a -big talk about is the fact that they cost only a hundred dollars more than a Ford. This is a big talking point that Mr. Harper makes a specialty of when showing his new car. NEW TROLIEY SERVICE IIE('OMES EFFE(TIVE More ('ars Are Operated on (lio and Louisiana Lines I atrons of three New Orleans street car lines on Sunday were enjoying improved service, as promised by the traction company, and residents along another line were assured of better service by 1 by the New Orleans Railway and Light Company.

Sentence will be passued next week. The defendants made no attempt to deny their guilt, Attorney Charles Byrne fghting entirely for a suspended sentence for the pair, due to their youth and previous good repatation. District Attorney Luzenberg opposed the suspended sentence, saying it would have a bad effect for others who might contemplate committing a crime.

Mr. Lusenberg gained conviction upon the confession In which Rosamano told how he had planned the robbery with Baggese, and how Bagbgee had called at the bank in broad daylight and carried off $16,325. He also told how Baggese shat him in the vault, and how a few minutes later he was released by Lee Hollman, runner for the bank. Neither of the defendants was placed on the stand, but a number of character 'wrtnesses were introduced in their behalf.
