NEW ORLEANS, La Feb. 26. (Cor
respondence of Tho lice.) If tho grade of
wonthor put up by tho Crescent City for Its
tuultltudo of visitors during carnival week
Ib a part of tho regular stoclc on hand, this
region of tho. . republic Justly and ap
propriately deserves tho title of the sunny
eouth. I am not quite suro It Is n regular
feature of tho country. Intimations
cautiously dropped by natives suggests an
occasional change, to break the monotony,1
perhaps, or to give a dash of varloty to
luotorologlcal conditions. Six days of It,
however. Is stitllclent to thaw out a frost
bitten northerner, mako his blood flow
quickly nnd warmly nnd invoKo dovout
thanks to tho fates that led him hither.
Tho transition from tho, dull and dead
brown landscape and tho lco and snows of
tho north to tho flowers nnd emerald
vonduro of tho south possesses an In
descrlbablo charm. Whon to that Is added
the genial sunshine and balmy breezes of
a Nebraska May, you have a combination of
natural beauties that enchains tho eye and
fascinates tho bouI. Hero are lawns as
green as Nobraskn lawns In Juno. Beds
of pansles nnd violets In bloom decorate
tho lawns ovcrywhero, and rose bushes with
eountleso blossoms shed their fragrnnco on
the enchantjng nlr. .Many of tho shade
trees nro In leaf, the palms spread their
hugo wlngB of green over closo-cropped
grass, tho birds rovol In springtime song
and Bhlrt waists uhound. Could mortal wish
for raoro In midwinter? To view this scene
and absorb tho charms of nnturo In spring
garb compensates for the strugiJo nnd cost
of bed and board in a crowded city nnd
banishes the harsh emotions provoked by
French dishes nnd black coffee.
Cnrnlvnl Crmvilx.
Local prophets and oracles ngree In sav
ing that tho crowds nt tho carnival of loot
iar exceed any In tho history of tho cltv.
New Orleans has qulto u crowd of Its own,
onu 300,000 In number, nnd' could cnsllv
pack several blocks of broa,d and nnrrow
thoroughfares. Passenger traillo Into tho
city was enormous, and, although trains on
all lines, particularly from tho north, wero
quadrupled In number nnd doubled In
length, tho day coaches wero packod and
engagements for sleeping berths had to bo
made soveral duya In advance. Hotels and
boarding houses enjoyed tho srentcst
harvest In their history nnd put prices to
an aimuuo mat would shock a trust
magnato. Fully .25.000 visitors wore drawn
to tho city by tho naceauta and thev re
ceived their money's worth. Tho city was
attired In holiday finery, decorations being
qulto goneral, particularly among tho busl-
ness nouses on Canal street and on St
Charles avenuo In tho residence district.
Electric Illuminations, besides tho usual arc
lights, consisted of ono line of Incnndesccnt
lights ox each side of Canal street. Theso
wero wholly Insufllclont for tho purpose in
tended and contrasted unfavorably with
Omaha Illuminations during tho festival of
King Ak-Sar-Itcn. Thero was lacking tho
diversity of colored lights and tho cross
HnesntstreotlntersectlnnB, which, viewed nt
a slight distance, roof tho stroets of Omaha
with arched lines of varicolored light. Tho
many club houses nlong tho lino of march
wero elaborately decorated and Illuminated.
Particularly noticeable waB tho Pickwick
club, tho habitat of Itcx, Its front decorated
with a hugo laurel wreath surmounted by
a monster crown, Illuminated with Rex
colors green, yellow nnd purple.
canal street was the forum of tho caml
al. It Is about 200 foot wliln. In tills
broad tl-oroughfcro tho pcoplo wore massed
during tho parades. Tho sidewalks nro
covered with permanont nwnlngs and on
uicao wero tiors of seats, which wero
eagorly purchased by spectators. From

ball, Is dtlllcult to secure.
ThO abaenco of ntmrovinir nnnlnnco fro.

'I lie riiKciuitK.
Tho carnival season onened with tho flrvii
parade of Moruus nnd his merry knights on
tuo evening or tno nut. Tho thorao of
tho floats was "Our KiMvnl
parody on Independence day, Thanksgiving,
vaiuiuiuos nay, ah I'-qois- day nnd similar
holidays.
Rex. throned In n cnri-pnncl v ilm.nrntn.1
yacht, led a huge procession of river crnft,
crowded with people, from a point opposlto
Chnlmetto to Canal street levee, on Mon
day afternoon. Tho greeting accorded tho
cnrnlvnl king was wildly nud noisily ef
fusive, in which half a hundred steam
sirens overwhelmed tho heroic offorta of
braes bands. A proccsBlon. strictly mili
tary nnd navnl, escorted him to tho city
hall, whero a battery of speeches was flrcd.
Monday night tho pageant of Proteus took
a long leap from tho comedy ot Momua
Into tho realms of logendary lore. "Al
Kyrls, tho Magnificent," wns tho title, and
tho scenes prosented wero taken from
Mario Corclll's doscrlptlvo book of
"Ardath," wherein tho novelist portrnys a
wondrous dream city reared by angel hands
near Dabylou 7,000 years ago.
"Human Passions' and Characteristics"
was tho thomo lllustratod with twenty pic
tures by Rex on Tuesday nfternoon. Con
spicuous phases of human life, from famo
to folly, from marrlago to dlvorco, from
sorrow to hone, wero ilenln(ii in ninii.n
of surpassing beauty, tho actors elegantly
cojuiiuch anu meir poses clever and ap
propriate. Tho Mystlck Krowo of Comus concluded
tho street festivities, Tuesday night, with
a spoctncle of twenty scenes from well
known operas, similar to tho Ak-Sar-llen
pageant of 1890.
To paraphraso a current soug, "All floats
look allko to me." Tho dlffcrcuco Is In
the theme, chiefly. Now Orleans docs not
tnko kindly to electric floats, such ns Ak-Sar-Ucn
has brought to perfection. A fow
years ago an electric pageant wns Intro
duced, but received such a public frost that
It was not ropcated. Tho peoplo adhoro
strictly to tho tlmo-honored customs nnd
methods of .Mardi Gras, an Inheritance of
tho founders ot tho city, nnd regard modern
Innovation in float. Illumination ns a species
of sacrilege.
Float In the Siiii1Ik1i.
Tho ono pageant which attracted most
Interest wns that of Rex, on tho nfternoon
of Tuesday. I was particularly curious to
noto how tho floats would look In tho sun
light, frco from artificial light coloring and
pyrotechnics. I confess tho spectnelo ex
ceeded anticipation. Tho color tones of
tho pictures and tho gorgeous costumes ot
tho characters represented wero brought
out with a clearness and vividness that Is
Impossible at night Tho sceno on Canal
street whon tho pageant countermarched
was magnificent. Tho beauty, of tho floats
was enhanced by a vaBt human frame a
mighty multltudo massed on tho center
and sides of the streot nnd stretching
away, oast and west, for a full quarter of a
mile. In this multltudo wero countless
masked persons In comic nnd grotesquo
costumes. These, with tho bright garb of
tho women, relieved tho monotony of roas
cullno black and formed an admirable
setting for tho display of Rex. Tho day was
Ideal, tho sky clear, tho sunshine warm,
with Just enough brcezo to wavo a greeting
from countless lings. Overcoats and capes
wero a burden. Many select groups of ele
vated spectators, particularly on club bal
conies, wero in full dress, both day and
evening.
Ilnll of the Klnir.
Rex's ball closed tho festivities on Tues
day evening. It was given in Washington
Artillery ball. Tho spectaclo did not ap
proach that with which admirers of King
Ak-Sar-llen nro familiar. Decorations wero
mongor and tho hall was not largo enough
for the number Invited. Tho king and queen
alono appeared In royal costume. Accom
panied by their attendants, they mnrched
back and forth through threo aisles of
people, theu retiring to tho throne room.
This was an annex to tho main dancing
hall and was a tropical bower of palms,
ferns nnd artificial llowors. Thero was
lacking tho ceramonlous march, such as
given by tho Knights of Ak-Sar-Hcn, tho
solemn, dignified ontryof king nnd queen
and tho hearty applause that marks tho
royal fiction. In that respect, at least, Ak-Sar-non
Is leagues In advanco of the
carnival king of tho south.
I'lfturcxqur Mnxl.ora,
A multltudo of maskers, single, In pairs
and drilled groups, was a novel and pic
turesque feature of tho closing day of tho
carnival. Theso appeared on tho side
streets as well as on the Canal stroet
amphitheater. Negro characters predom
inated. Scores of groups gavo rako walk
exhibitions or serenaded tho spectators with
coon songs. Several groups of Indians,
gorgeously arrayed and with feathers to
burn, whooped merrily and gave fairly good
Imitations of tho wlerd dnnces so frequently
seen nt tho Omaha exposition. Four or
ganized bodies of maskers paraded with
bands and ono organization of "Weary
Willies" marked tlmo with tin cans. Each
body showed great proficiency In marching
nnd performed a variety of fantnstlc capers,
to the grat amusement of the crowd. Tho
nbsenco of rudeness or rowdyism was par
ticularly noticeable. Tho conduct of tho
maskers, considering tho llccnso dlBgulso
affords, was orderly and decorous. Tho only
fcaturo approaching disorder was tho pro
miscuously throwing of confetti In tho faces
of women nnd girls, with Intent to Injuro,
and It Is announced that this species of
hoodluralsm will bo suppressed In tho
future. T. J. FITZMORRJS.
SUPERINTENDENT ANSWERS
Mr. Glllnii Itepllex n ClinrRcn
of Hie Died rlelium'
Union.
According to tho statement of J. M. Gil
lan, superintendent of tho Industrial ex
position, tho electricians' union was rather
hasty In Its action Friday night In regard
to tho alleged employment of non-union
labor at tho exposition building. Mr. Gll
lan said yestorday that outside of tho
unskilled labor used In cleaning tho build
ing overy man employed by tho committee
has been a member of a labor organization,
thnt in tho wiring of tho building tho only
work dono was tho placing ot eight electric
light sockets and as many drop wires. This
was dona by tho Thomson-Houston copipany
and no chargo was made for tho work. Ho
said, further, that so far ns ho knew all
persons to bo employed on tho work would
bo mombcrs of labor unions, but that In tho
matter of setting up displays nnd decorat
ing them, tho Arms making tho displays
would havo full control nnd tho superin
tendent would havo nothing to say In re
gard to tho character of labor employed.
Exhibits aro coming rapidly Into tho
building and everything will bo In sbapo
for tho opening, March 10. Saturday
a representative of one of tho Illinois
houses which havo sont In displays arrived
to put his display In shapo and will romaln
until tho closo of tho exposition to dem
onstrate his goods.
At tho Informal meeting of the auditorium
commltteo Saturday afternoon tho quostlon
of tho Marino band was brought up for dis
cussion, but action on tho matter was de
ferred until Monday,

W. H. Gunsolus may hold his Job ns mcs

Judgo Dickinson has decided that tho county
nttorney Is not required by law to get out
and hustlo up witnesses and that It ho or
his doputlcs undertook that part of tho work
of tho olllce they would not havo tlmo for
tho proper conduct of more Important busi

Tho court raado a final ordor In the caso
of Mr. Rurnam, doclarlng that his appoint
ment by the county board as assistant
county nttornoy is null nnd void, but al
lowing him compensation from tho tlmo
ho began work until tho tlmo tho action
against his appointment was begun.
Mr. Durnnm, however, will retain his
position In tho county attorney's offlco, by
graco of an act signed by tho govornor
only n fow days ago. This art creates
tho position of fourth deputy county at
