NEW YoRs, Dec. IA remarkable guess
has just been revealed by the Herald, which
offered q 500 prize to the person who would

c ,idate for Governor years ago and used
the axact figures.

The LEADER feels that it is doing its
readers who may visit New Orleans, a
favor in directing their attention to that
excellent hostelry, the Hotel Dcnechaud.
For years n convenient and popular stop
ping place for Mississippians, it has been
improved and refurnished during the last
few months in Il way that will make it
more so than ever before. A magnificent
dining room has been fitted up on the
ground floor, while on the second floor a
number of new guests rooms have been
added. At the corner on the second floor,
with verandah lined with beautiful
flowers and overlooking Carondelet street,
is an elegantly furnished new parlOr, in
which guests may while away their leis-
ure amid surroundings at once delight
full and enchanting. The sleeping apart
ments are all comfortable and well-kept,
the cooking is done in both the American
and French style, and Monsieur Dene-
chaud, seconded by members of his fami-
ly and an ample corps OF subordi mates
anticipates ones every wish.
Situated on Carondelet street, near
Canal and only one square from St.
Charles, and with the street ears from the
Jackson depot passing within few feet
of its front door, the Denechaud is pre-
emincntly the stopping place for persons
from this section.

This is the day of printers ink and the
prizes are for those who use it. Your ira
dirions and pref may be to the con-
trary, but the world doesn't care tg for
them. The man who sits aud waits for
his trade in these days gets left. Don't
advertise, don't quUte your price lists,
don't SEE that your city or yonr business
is represented in your patronlZlng terri
tory, and don't stand up manfully along
side of those who are fighting for your
rights and interests, and there can he but
one Notwithstanding up. Good sales
men, first-class articles, gilt-edge credit

Funeral of a Well.KnOwn Preacher
 and Photographer.
 The funeral of Rev. s. w. Barnum, who died suddenly on the 18th inst, will take place to-day from his residence at IA Humphrey street.
 Samuel Weed ,Barnum, only son of Hor- ace and Cynthia Weed Barnum, was de- scended on his fathers side from Thomas Barnum, one of the first settlers of Dan bury, Conn.,, and on his mothers side from Jonas Weed, one of the first settlers of Stamford, Conn. He was born in North Salem, N. Y, June 4, 1920, graduated from Yale college in 1941 and from the Di- vinity school three years later. He has held various pastorates in Massachusetts,, but since 1865 has resided in New Haven, preaching only occasionally.
 He was the author of the "Comprehen- sive Dictionary of the Bible," which was mainly an sbridgement of Wm. Smiths "Romanism as it is" and Vocabulary of English Rhymes He and Professor Sam uel Porter of Washington had charge of the department of pronunciation in the new Webster's International Dictionary, and was also the principal assistant of Professor Goodrich in preparing the revis- ion of that dictionary in 1847.
 At his death he was at work on semi centennial record of his class of Al, of which he was secretary. He became a Christian during his senior year at Yale, and since 1880 has been a member of the Church of the Redeemer. He was in politics an earnest and consistent republi- can.
 He suffered much from ill health during his life but his end was unexpected and almost instantaneous. He leaves a wife, two sons and two daughters. The eldest son is married and pastor of the church in Cornwall, Vt.
