CLOSE OF A STRANGE LIFE DRAMA
New orleans City Item.

New orleans City Item.l
An old and sestimable citizen yester-
day passed on to that brighter bourne
whence he will not return. At III
o'clock a. m. died Jacinto Lobrano,
aged 81 years. We are not certain
that this statement of Mr.. Lobrano's
age is not incorrect. His late friend,
Christian Roselius, Esq, related OF
Lobrano that he came to this country
in 1899, and was then sixteen years OF
age, which would now make him
ninety-seven. This was probably cor
rect and possibly his own inattention
to accuracy as to dates caused decedent
himself to be led into error as to his
age. A lifelong intimacy prevailed
between these friends. His unsophisti-
Gated admiration of his great patron,as
we'll as the fidelity of his character, at
tached him deeply to Mr.. Roselius.
AS decade followed decade he made
many pilgrimages to his office in all
weathers and in the teeth of all cir
cumstances.
Mr.. Lobrano had been a favOrite off,
Ger of LATTE, and was in the army OF
Gen. Jackson before New Orleans in
1S14-15, in company with his old COM
mander, and rendered signal services
as detective officer. For this the gene
raj presented him with a sword he had
himself worn. It is related that In
obedience to Buffers military order In
1862, commanding citizens to surrender
tfieir arms, he presented himself at the
Butler Bastille with this historical
weapon, saying to the general: "You
order citizens to give up their arms,
these are mine-this sword given to
me by my friend, Gen. Andrew Jack.

The Rich Dispensing Gifts at Lunches

The extremely rich are just now try
ing to outdo each other in the magnifi-
cence of lunches and dinners. As Ma
ture revolts against more than GER
tain number of courses and a fixed
quantity of food, the cupidity of the
guests is catered to as well as their ap-
petites. Accordingly it is now re-
garded as the proper thing for Mrs.
Nabob when she gives dinner or
lunch to provide from one to five pres
ents for each one of her guests. While
the most cultivated society will proba-
bly, pronounce ere long its sentence Of
disapproval upon this return to the
shoddy display of the Jim Fisk era, at
present the custom is in vogue. Mrs.
William H. Vanderbilt few days ago
gave a lunch to a number of lady
friends, each one of whom carried
away four elegant presents which were
. placed about her plate. The lunch
cost several hundred dollars, and was
of course in the highest art of the
French master of the kitchen, and in
itself was sufficiently complimentary to
the guests. When the presents were
heaped upon the favored friends of the
rich mans wife, they made such mon
ument of magnifcence that for long
period, in ambitious New York society,
Mrs. Vanderbilt's entertainment will
stand unsurpassed. Those who par
take of these grand affairs say chat they
never carry away light hearts because
of the feeling thatin some way they are
keenly conscious that they cannot af-
ford it. They would prefer a modest,
chatty affair with no more of a souve-
mir than q tea rose and a sprig of gera-
MUM. Then they could reach the very
rich with ease and entertain them with
comfort, but the immense parade of
wealth saddens their social delights.

How Great Inventions Are Made.

Il
There is a very prevalent notion that
an inventor is a tinkefing fellow, an
uneasy sort of mechanic who is always
experimenting, cutting and trying, with
a vague expectation of some day hitting
upon something novel and possibly use
full. Doubtless there are in almost
every community men who waste their
time and means in brainless labor of
that character, would be inventors, who,
having no clean cut or we'll considered
purpose in view, are ever busy at moth
ing, making show Of invention with
out ever inventing anything. But such
men are no more worthy of the name OF
inventor than the corner loafer who
wrangles over the affairs of local poll
tics is worthy of the name of statesman.
The real inventor is a man of an en-
tirely different type. He knows pre-
cisely what he is driving at, and very
frequently his invention is entirely
thought out before the first stroke is
made to put it upon paper or to shape
it in q more material form. "When
you strike difficulty what doyou doP"
was asked of an inventor whose fame
is worldwide for his many achieve
ments in overcoming alleged impossi-
bilities. "I sit down and think, " was
the sufficient reply.
The capacity to think is the invent
or's first and most essential endowment,
and no amount of tinkering, however
patient and mechanically skillful, can
ever take its place. A striking exam
pie of the true inventors ability to
think creatiVely is furnished in the in
ventions of the late Erastus B. Bige-
low. He was not a mechanic, he had
no practice in the use of tools, he
could not even handle a pencil with
skill and facility. His inventions were
made in the recesses of his brain, where
the complicated machinery of each was
created, thought out in detail, before
any attempt was made to give it mate
rial embodiment. To a writer in the
last issue of the Bulletin of the National
Association of Wool Manufacturers,
Mr.. Bigelow said that his most recent
carpet loom-one upon which seventy
TWO ydlQS OF DIuSS6IS GdL p6J nave D06A
woven by one girl in ten hours-Was
completely worked out in his mind and
mapped out in his brain, not in his
study or factory, but in railroad cars
while making his last visit to Europe.
After sating his mind and eyes with
foreign lands and scenery, an irresisti-
ble fit Of invention came over him. Re-
firing within himself, the machine soon
assumed in his mind complete form in
every part and detail. Showing
rough sketch of the invention, the only
drawing of it that had been made, Mr..
BigeloW said: "All 1 have now to do

Children's Fashions.

Children's hosiery differs little in
style from that Of grown people. Car
dinal, seal brown, old gold and gen
darme blue are furnished, handsomely
embroidered in colors, to match the
prevailing shades of the dress, while
tartan plaids and broken stripes COM
bine many bright hues.
Many boys are wearing handsome
fur-trimmed sacque overcoats, one of
which is of dark brown diagonal cloth,
bordered with sealskin fur, with wide
collar, and furnished with horn but
tons. Walking jackets in various
iaunty styles are common for young
girls, while for smaller children sacques
reaching to the bottom of the dress are
worn.
Dresses for children up to six or eight
years of age are still made in one piece
"a fashion both comfortable for the
child and convenient for the mother.
Wool and silk, and silk and velvet, are
the materials used in these dresses,
which may be very simple, or elabo-
rately and gracefully modelled to simu-
ldb6 ~ NbSO dbuO JbCA0b' Oe9uAu bduOn ts4Nl
lace serve as garniture.
Kilt suits, which are still popular,
come in Scotch plaids, and are worn
with stockings TO match.
For boys school suits plain cloths
and fancy cassimeres in .9oks, and
small and large broken plaids, are used.
Palmer suits for girls of from ten to
twelve years of age are of wool and silk
in combination, and are frequently mod
eled in princess style, with deep
pleated founce at the bottom offhe
Skirt and with scarf-like drapery.
Shirring is also in great favor on girls
suits.
A new spring suit of light gray de
bege for little girl is in one piece,
with front composed Of alternate dag

Potatoes for Animals.

A writer upon this subject has said
that "potatOes in the raw state ought
never to be given to any animal, with
the exception of sheep and geese" 1t
is said g a goose will thrive better, and
the flesh will be more gratefully favored
upon raw potatoes, sliced, than upon
any other article; while sheep will more
speedily thrive on raw potatoes than on
turnips; but, and especially in the be-
ginning, raw potatoes will scour cattle
and horses, and not unfrequently cause
death, while there ism danger of either
from boiled or steamed potatoes. 1t
may be true that they are excellent for
geese, and that they are excellent for
sheep is we'll known; of all animals the
sheep like a change from dry TO green
food in the shape ofroots; and thatthey
should thrive upon them better than the
turnip, for the reason that, according to
tables, the potato contains larger fat
substance and flesh-producing element
than the turnip. Thus fair product is
200 bushels, or $4,000 pounds of pota-
toes, from an acre, are estimated to
contain 2,640 pounds of material for the
animal system, while the average yield
of rutabagas of 10000 pounds contain
only 1, 400 pounds; and similar yield
Of turnips is but 1,400 pounds; so that
relatively they stand to each other as,
potatoes 2, $40, rutabagas 1,440, and the
turnip $40, little better than third
the relative feeding value.
The chief advantage is obtained in
feeding to mature animals; if bony
structure is to be formed the turnip is
fully equal to the potato. That an ex-
cess of potatoes fed to cattle and horses
produce ill results cannot be doubted,
if the diet was exclusively potatoes; but
that small quantity, fed with dry hay,
produces injurious results, is unsuppos
able. The boiling or steaming, which
generally means an addition of more or
less mild feed, would be much more
satisfactory. The same writer also
says, "Pigs will not always eat, and
never can be fattened upon raw pota-
toes, while if they are boiled, next to
boiled peas, perhaps, will bring them
to the greatest weight they are capable
of attaining, and to greater perfection
than anything else that may be contin-
uously used with safety, admitting that
three to four weeks feeding upon corn,
oats or barley is necessary to make the
pork firm and impart flavor"
This is directly contrary to the expe- |
rience of a successful pork raiser that |
always estimated the value of potatoes
as four bushels to one of corn, and al |
ways fed them raw for the reason that I
he obtained much more satisfactory re-
suits.
Boil several bushels of potatoes, and
at the same time mix a bushel of corn
meal, makes very satisfactory feed for
pork.
