He Could Not Sneak English.


DR.. Isidore Labatut, who died re-
Gently at New Orleans in the ninety
eighth year Of his age, was in several
ways remarkable man. Although
a native of Louisiana and resi-
dent of that state for the larger
part of his life, he could not speak a
word of English, and persistently refused
to learn the language. He received his
professional education in Paris, where
he studied for sixteen years.
While in France he was attached to
the surgeons corps of Napoleon's army
as student in 1904. He saw Nicholas
of Russia, the emperor of Austria and
King Frederick William LIP of Prussia
when they arrived in Paris, and he was
there when Louis XVIII returned after
the Punishment of Napoleon to the island
of Elba, and was also present at the de-
feat of Napoleon at Waterloo. Grad
uating in 1918, DR.. Labatut returned to
New Orleans in 1922.
He was possessed of large inherited
wealth, and in the practice of his profess
sion made no difference between the
treatment given invalids unable to pay
and those who could satisfy any profess
sional demand for fees. He retained his
mental faculties to the last, but for
twelvemonth previous to his decease
spent his time in well earned retirement.

Jewish Persecution in Russia.

The Jewish Chronicle relates this in
cident of the persecution of Jews at
Odessa: ga Mr.. Axelrod, accompanied
by his wife and baby in arms, intended
to go by train to the Khadshibey Salt
lakes, distance of about eight miles.
There is always a rush for seats on this
Line in consequence of the inadequacy of
cars. However, Mr.. Axelrod managed
to get a seat, but his wife was left
standing. Upon his rising to let his
wife sit down a certain general quickly
occupied the vacant seat Mr. Axelrod
appealed to this general (who, as event
ually transpired, is great friend of the
governor) to allow the lady to sit down,
as, with child to hold, it was very diff
cult to stand for over an hour. The re-
ply he got was 'Parschivie Schide' Il. e.,
cursed jews. Retaliation was out of
the question, particularly with a gen.
eral whose influence and authority are
like kings in miniature. Two young
Jewish students, however, protested
against such conduct and they were i'm
mediately arrested. It is almost impos-
sible for Jew to walk the streets with
out being inSulted"
