HE CURSED THE DISPENSARY.
4 New Orleans Man who Wanted a
Glass OF Beer and Couldn't Get One.



A New Orleans gentleman who is visiting
here to-day raised a blister on Charleston =
back.
Oh he was furiously pad, almost rabid
and the good Impression he had formed OF
Charleston on previous vilsts was destroyed
and the way In which he denounced and rid
iculed the old city from the neck down to the
Battery and back again would have made the
natives shudder il they had heard him ex7
press his detestation.
The whole trouble was all on account OF the
offensive and Questionable dispensary, law
which prevented the visitor from Quenching
his teverish thirst for a cool glass OF beer.
The gentleman said that after several hours
Of hard work at his legitimate business he
started on q tramp for glass of beer and he
says he walked for fully al hour and was un'
able to find a place where he could satiate
his appetite for beer.
He says he visited several places which he
judged from outside appearances that he
would be served but in each instance he was
mistaken.
The last man he tackled he unhesitatingly
asked tor Il glaSi OF beer and he said he al.
most fell on the floor prostrated when he re.
ceived the answer. "Slr, you cant get any
beer in Charleston

When the war broke out, except the slave

others had sold their estates and had gone TO

way to the recesses OF the Western wilderness.
All that country, under slave labor. pos.

the slaves on the plantation, and where the
number was large. he usually had under him
q negro "Driver" who was equally In bondage
with his brother slaves. sometimes the Over.
seer was cruel-sometimes he was mercful-
but the Driver was always more cruel than
the OverSeer.
With intelligence to direct the labor of the
most prolific and most docile people on the
face or the earth, ii is not wonderful that the
slave.oWners grew rich and extened their
widening fields with the harvest OF each sue
ceeding crop.
Under task masters with but limited com

Consumption was unknown to the negro as d
slave, but as freeman-if the fact that he
does not inherit the disease be taken into
consideration Is peculiarly subject to its
ravages.
However the day Of prosperity on the Sa

FAMOUS CREOLE WOMEN DEAD.
As n Child She Placed laurel
Wreath on Gen. JucksOn's Brow.

New Orleans. Nov. 23.-One of the
most picturesque characters in New
Orleans passed away a few days ago
in the person Of Dame Veuve (widow)
Marie Madeleine Zoe Cruzat Pey-
chaud, "Tante Zoe,' as she was known
to the entire creole population of New
Orleans.
Nine. Peychaud was 90 years of age.
She had figured so cOnspicuously from
her very childhood in the society and
history Of New Orleans. and her men,
Ory was so bright, that she seemed
far older than the century. She was
of the best creole stock, granddaugh-
ter of that Chevalier Chalmette (Chai-
mette de L.ino) upon whose plantation
the battle of New Orleans was fought
which Louisiana folks always called the
battle of Chalmette and the daughter
of that Senior CruZat who was governor
of all the vast Missouri territory of
Spain which stretched from the Mis-
sissippi to the Pacific. When, after
the victory of New Orleans, the popu-
lation of that city. with the Gallic
love for display. welcomed General
jackson with pomp and ceremony in
the Place d Armes, now Jackson
it was little Zoe Cruzat, then a girl of
II, dressed in white. with gay red
and blue ribbons, and representing
Louisiana, that placed a laurel wreath
on the brow Of the victorious gem
eral.
Tante Zoe was but 16 when she mar
ried and but - when she became a
widow, yet she leaves scores of des-
cendants. grandchildren. great-grand-
children, and great-great grandchl-
dren. behind her. From 1920 almost
to the time of her death, Nine. Pey-
chard remained the idol OF the creole
world. There was never sick person
in the French quarter whose bedside
she did not visit. nor any one in trouble
who did not consult her; and her
Thursday levees which she kept up
until she was 30 were the rendezvous
of young and old, for Nine. Peychaud
could tell the most delightful stories
of old creole days

AGAIN ESCAPES A DEATH TRAP.
Second Narrow Call for Guard in
the Columbus Pcnitentiary.

Columbus. Ohio, Nov. 23.-JOhn
Queen. guard in the penitentiary
here, last night for the second time
narrowly escaped a death trap set for
him by prisoners under his charge.
He had just left the seat from which
he watches prisoners working in the
broomshOp when an enormous iron
weight came crashing down upon the
place, crush ~ the seat to kindling
wood. Samuel Law, an embezzler, was
the only prisoner at work above. and
was punished for it, but he claimed
the weight was pushed from it's place
by a string on the outside.
A month ago heavy weight was
found poised above Queens desk so
nicely that the jOstlng of the mach
iEery might topple it down on the
guard. The warden was not able to
tlace this to a prisoner. though he
suspected it was part of a plan TO
murder the guard.
