A Ratification Meeting Full of Enthu-
siasm and Harmony.
large and enthusiastic meeting was held
at the wigwam of the ninth ward yesterday
evening for the purpose Of installing the
newly elected officers Of the central CLUB and
ratifying the Democratic nominations made
at Baton Rouge.
After the installation and speeches by Gov

Resolved That III the selection of our friend
and neighbcr, u. A. Witt the convention
have fully carried out the behests Of the peo-
hood, and closely followed his footsteps
through every stage Of civil and political
life we perhaps better than others have had
better opportunities of approaching those
qualities which have endeared him to us and
anchored our affections. The friend Of the
needy, the defender of every right secured by
law, the protector Of those stricken down by
distress, the honest administrator and trustee
Of public funds, the incorruptible magistrate
Of this metropolis, the steadtast tribune OF the
people both IL the Legislature and Conven-

respect and fidelity. We bid him God-speed
In the good work now before him, and COM
mend MIN with our greeting: "Wel done,
good and faithful servant"

Strong, Egan and Fay, and to them we pledge
our hearty, true and undivided support.

baton, and In his retirement from office he
carries with him the esteem and confidence of
this ward.
Resozued further, That In Gen. F. N. Ogden
We recognize true patriot and noble son Of
Louisiana, and we hope the day Is not far dis
tant when it shall be In our power to testify
our full appreciation Of his devotion and SER
Vices to the State.

TILE HOOD FAMILY.

Mr.. Theodore Lilienthal, the photographer
4 No. 121 Canal street, has sent off to the NORTH
and West large number Of his pictures o.
the Hood family, to be sold for the benefit d
the orphans. Many Of those who have seer
& and admired this really artistic picture have
expressed desire to know the names of the
children, and we have taken the trouble to
ascertain them, both for the benefit Of those
who now own or may hereafter purchase
copies Of picture which possesses SO much
Interest, not alone for the people Of the South
for whom Hood fought with dashing gal
antry and heroic devotion). but for all those
whose hearts have been touched by the
double and awful calamity which befeIl
these little children when their parents were
both suddenly taken from them. The two lit
fle girls on the leftare Odile Musson and Ida
Richardson, twins, three years DID, Odile is
on the extreme left lii the act Of trundlinp a
dolls carriage, while Ida Is seated near with
the doll 10 her arms. Little Ida looks pale
and like an invalid, having only recently re-
snvarad Rom IN, sa fever when her picture was
taken. The third from the left is Duncan
Norbert, seven years old, and next him stands
with one hand On Dnncan's shoulder John
Bell. Jr. eight years old. Both Of these boys
have bright beautiful faces, the latter re-
aembling his father. Next to John Bell sits
cunning little Oswald, thirteen months old,
whose chubby bare legs and arms many a
childless mother will long to dimple with
kisses. Next, and In the order In which they
ARE named, are Ethel Genevieve and Annabel,
twins, nine years old, In whose sweet faces
the features Of the mother are plainly dis
cerned.
Next, and In the order Of naming, are
LILLIAN Marie and Marion Maud, twins, six
years old.
IN front Of the group, and reclining on q
miniature sofa, Is the little baby, fast asleep,
Anna Gertrude, only two months old. A va
can't chair on the extreme right speaks elo-
uuently but sadly Of the missing Lydia, the
sweet girl, the eldest Of all the children, who,
taken sick just before her father, died few
hours after he had ceased to be.
The portrait Of the General on the left is an
excellent likeness, but that Of Mrs. Hood Is
somewhat indIStinct.

TILE REPUBLICAN CAMP.
The Part the Faithful Will Take in
the Campaign.

The Part the Faithful Will Take in
the Campaign.
That the Republicans intended to put a
State ticket in the field, and bring to It's sup
port all the strength the party leaders can
command, has long been known, and con-
vention has been called to meet in this city
on the twentieth instant for the expressed
purpose Of making nominations.
The making Of nominations for the coming
election however. Is only the secondary OBJ
ject which the State Central Committee, or a
majority Of it, had III view when it decided
on holding convention. The main purpose
is to SO arrange matters that Sherman del
egatiOn can be sent to the National Republi-
can convention In 1880.
To this end every effort will be made to
pack the State convention with delegates who
will follow the Custom House leaders, and the
chances are that the efforts will be success
full in receiving the desired delegations FROM
every parish outside Of the parish Of Orleans.
In this city and parish the Colored Mems
Protective Union will give the Custom-House
people hard fight, with every prospect Of
whipping them.
Should the Custom-Hous people succeed
In capturing the State convention they will
either have that body elect delegates to the
national convention or get it to authorize the
appointment OF the representatives of the
party in this State by the State Central Com
mittee The Custom House people, however,
are likely to have trouble, for
PNCHBAJK 1911
will have seat as delegate from Madison
parish, and he is by no means In accord with
the administration.
Pinchback worked hts election as delegate
very quietly. He was away up North with
his family and he suddenly and without any
returned to this city, passed
through, and was In Madison parish and
elected before the Custom-House men knew
be was In the State
AS TO THE NOMINATIONS
for State officers, an intention Is expressed to
make up as good ticket as the material at
command will admit. Taylor Beattie seems
TO have the call for the first place, but McM.'-
EN- 10 quietly spoken Of as possible dark !
horse.
IN the early part of the campaign War-
moths name was connected with :he place,
and his acceptance Of the nomination, it is
said, was asked and urged, but he will not be
q candidate, for it is known that he has ex-
pressed himself as believing that lit is good
year for some other man to run" but he does
no, care to be slaughtered. Many different
names have been canvassed for the other
places on the ticket, but no slate has as yet
been made by either the Custom House or the
CoIored Mems Protective Union, and nothing
In this direction Is likely to be done until the
9On INVENTION assemblies,

ACADEMY OF MUSIC.

Annie Pixley and McDonough d Fulford' s
Combination closed their short engagement
last evening. At the matinee it was impossi-
BILE to find vacant seatS and standing room
even was difficult to be had. At night the at
tendance was only a little smaller. These facts,
the enthusiasm which "Mliss," played by
Annie Pixley and the company, has excited
at every performance, and our own apprecia-
ton Of things, convince US that the engage
ment might have been extended another
week without showing any abatement In the
audiences. The company go to Mobile and
will thereafter make a Western tour. To the
people they will visit we can conscientiously
promise treat In the dramatic line such as
they seldom enjoy. AS for ourselves, we can
only wish to see Annie Pixley back even this
season, if only as M'liss again, and in the
future we hope to have the pleasure Of applaud
Ing her In some other play Of a high order,
and in which she can display all her talent,
In the sketchy drama which introduced her
to us.
THE MAIN FATINITZA
combination begin an engagement at the
Academy tonight. The play Is not new to
the New Orleans public, before whom it was
presented within the last fortnight, but there
will be novelty In the personnel OF the COM
binatlon that has made "Fatfnitza" q spe-
cialty. The opera, which is of the light comic
order, has 6rawn well in New York, Chicago
and St. Louis, in the latter place receiving
libretto Is exceedingly funny, and the music
certainly pretty. Jennie Winston Is the lead
ing female singer OF the company, and as well
the leading parsonage Of the opera.

r. l.. GIBSON,

Determined that there should be no delay
in the commencement of the work in the
event Of the action of the Secretary of War
being favorable, Gen. Gibson decided on
having everything In readiness for an imme-
date beginning of operations as soon as the
Secretary of War expressed his intention OF
ordering the work done, and to this end he
opened correspondence with Capt. Jos. A.
Aiken, whose ability to do the work Is evil

similar occasion. The letter of Gen. Gibson
and the reply of Capt. Aiken are as follows:

ing their Silver Lake claims. At our last re-
port the Alturas was 90 feet deep, at which
depth the lode was FIVE feet wide; but at
present, at the foot of the lao foot shaft, the
lode is found to be a little over eight feet
average width. The Alturas is a contract vein,
