leader of the left wing of the Republican
party, said in recent speech: LET me
see the Democratic convention that will at

that the Democratic State Committee will

Democratic success this year against tho

Swiss statisticians have recently estab.
lshed n singular relation between the prev

divorces to every thousand marriages In
the cantons which have twenty-five public
houses to every thousand there arc only
fifty-seven divorces to every thousand

sixteen public houses to every thousand

naturally somewhat indignant Mt the report
in this mornings New York Times that he

far from this being the case, thorough har-

A Death From Blood Poisoning.

A strange case Of pyemia, and parallel
with the Presidents case, is reported by
surgeons Of the Naval Hospital this city
The victim was Cadet Midshipman ]. ]. G.
Cooper, who died last Friday. He partici-
pated in the inauguration of President Gar
field, and was taken sick the next day
Blood poisoning soon developed. He wasted
to mere skeleton, and literally died by
inches. The symptoms in Midshipman Coop
er's case were the same from nearly the be-
ginning up to short time ago as those which
have developed in Gen. Garfleld's case
There was the gradual and steady sink
ing; the occasional indications of revival or
returning strength, always followed (some-
times suddenly by relapses to q very low
condition, and the fluctuations and gradual
increase of the average pulse. Young
Cooper was hopeful, and on several occa-
sions he imagined himself so far improved
that he declared himself convalescent and
ready to leave his sick bed; but in each in.
stance he suffered n relapse within few
hours afterward and sank almost to death,
subsequently rallying and again seemingly
mending, and recovering somewhat in vital
power yet at no time did he recuperate to
an extent sufficient to bring him up to the
point from which he departed at the begin
ming Of the last preceding relapse.
Several times it was supposed that he was
dying, but he surprised his attendants by
reviving. Just prior to final dissolution his
respiration declined to five to the minute.
He wasted to mere skeleton, and became,
in fact, u man of skin and bone. He had
fed upon himself and all evidences of flesh
were gone long before he died His legs
became so thin that they could be wrapped
anywhere between the thigh and the knee
by the thumb and index finger of hand of
ordinary size. In other words, his thigh
was no larger than the wrist of man of
average size. Before he became sick he was
about five feet ten inches in height and
weighed about LIE Or LEO nnnnds

The American people have always
been proverbial and world renowned
for their patriotic celebration OF their
national anniversaries. These oft r..
curing days Of q country's jubilees
save to keep alive in the hearts OF It's
citizens the stirring events which
gave them birth. Previous to the
war the national anniversaries were
celebrated throughout the length
and breadthlof the. land. Subsequent.
ly they We're left to pass silently by
In the South, whose people felt too
keenlylthe humiliation Of defeat, to
take part in them.
But with the return OF an era OF
good feeling, and the determination
Of the Boys" in blue and Gray"
the South has sought TO emulate the
North Ia the celebration Of the Ma.
TONS anniversaries
To-day marks the annual rccur.
renee Of day dear to every Ameri.
can heart, but more particularly to
Louisianians who usually honor 1t
with great eclat. The war OF 1912
with England was one waged in de:
Tense Of American commerce, and
the protection Of American sailors on
the high seas.
England, self.con6dent OF its pow.
or upon the ocean. relying upon it's
boosted superiority In naval vessels
and armament, sought to impress
American seamen into her service by
force, and interfered with American
commerce. The United States
promptly resented these gross insults
Of their former foes. It must need
be that the mother country should
be taught one more lesson as to how
a free people could defend their
rights, and revenge any insult to
their nationality. Hence was In.
augurated the war Of 1912. with it's
battle cry Of free trade and sailors
rights" This war. partaking more
OF the maratime character, than bat.
tie on land, finally eliminated in the
battle Of New Orleans in 1916, where,
on the plains Of Chalmette, Gen.
Jackson defeated the British troops
under Gen. Packenham.
From that day to the present time,
January 9Th has been a noted ami.
versary in Louisiana. For over 65
years the citizen soldiery Of the State
have honored it with parades and
artillery salutes. It is meet that it
should be thus honored as it establed
an important principle In the history
Of this country. To-day a united
people love to rejoice over one Of the
most memorable epochs in the
centennial history Of this land
OF the free and show to the
world at large that Americas sons
are not unmindiul OF the heroic deeds
and stubborn valor OF those who have
preceded them, and as the readers OF
the VlND1CAT0R peruse these lines
to-day, the streets Of New Orleans
will resound to the martial tread Of
her scldiery, inspiring strains OF
martial music and salvos Of cannon.
while her p0pulace shout their ap.
prevail.
