REMARKABLE LOUISIANIAN.
Amassed Fortune of sIo,OOO,OOo

Amassed Fortune of $IO,OOO,OOO
and Never Learned to Read.
New York Tribune
The most remarkable man who has de-
veloped in Louisiana in the last half-cen-
fury died in this city tonight. He was
Leon Godchaux, who came to Louisiana
young Jewish ,peddler from Bavaria,
without the VeStige or an education
and who by phenomenal business in
stinct amassed a fortune of nearly
$40 1000, 0O0 and won the admiration of the
entire business community. Only-in re-
cent years was Godchaux able to sign
his own name, and he never learned to
read.
At the time of his death Godchaux was
beyond doubt the richest sugar planter
In America, and he it was who developed
the sugar business in its present central
lied condition and caused the abandon
ment of the old-time individual planta-
ton sugar houses, which added much to
the picturesqueness of the sugar BUSH
ness, but were a great loss to the state
output.
When Godchaux first came to Louis
lana 1t was with pack on his should
ers, which he carried from plantation to
plantation along the Mississippi river
and he was driven off as a vagrant from
some of the plantations which he after
wards acquired 1t is said in fact, that
the young man shook his fist at one ar
rogant planter, and vowed he would own
the planters home. This he did God
chaux first entered into the clothing BUSH
ness in New Orleans, and his establish
ment is still the largest in the city. Later
he embarked in the sugar business. and
exhibited shrewdness in the operations
that easily ranked him as the most ex
pert sugar man in the state His bust
ness rapidly widened, until, although not
owning as many actual sugar lands as
the recently deceased Gen. Porcher
Miles his properties were far more val
liable.

ABOUT PERFUMES,
They Are Coming Into Favor Again
-OdOrs in the Old Times.

Harper's Bazaar.
The too free use of perfumes about the
person has been avoided for many years
and held inadmissible in good society, the
merest hint of faint odor being all that
was possibly allowed. Recently this edict
of good taste has not been so strictly
regarded, and such perfumes as violet
and sandalwood. both of them expensive
ones when pure, together with hello
trope, are somewhat in favor again. It
is quite likely that the very general
wearing of large punches of violets has
led the way to this.
1t is not easy. to eradicate the love Of
perfumes anyway, for the nerves made
to appreciate them will always demand
satisfaction; and since the race, civilized
or uncivilfzed, has existed the love of
perfumes has existed too. Even animals
are sensitive>to. perfumes, and it used to
be said that onelof the helps of the great
horse tanner Rarey was a bunch of vio-
let's. j.
Emperors and priests and people in
power have always been lavish in their
use of perfumes. Saladin washed down
the walls of sthey mosque of Omar with
rosewater tor make the Mohammedan
heaven more attractive. Some of the
houris were declared to have bodies of
pure musk. The Turk has always been
more fond Of musk than the Occidental
ia. ~
At later period than that Of Rich
ards great foe aone of the French mon
archs-Louis Quihze. we think-used
different perfume for every day in the
year, although some of the shades of va
rance must have been infiinitesimal. 1t
was a poetica1 custom of the court at
about that period for two lovers to use
the same perfume.
Our grandmothers, and theirs before
them, sometimes scented their hair
dressings by means of an apple stuck
full of cloves and spices, kept long time
in the pomade, which was perhaps as
simple a method and provided as simple
an aroma as could have been invented.
They loved, too, the odor Of patchouli.
with which everything coming from In
dia or China in those rich old days of
the India trade were loaded-somewhat
too powerfully for modern taste; but
perhaps they loved the scent more for
its association with the wonderful
shawis and scarfs and stuffs which it
accompanied than for itself.

Wheat is more than cents below the
closing, figures of Saturday of the preyi-
Gus week, and that, too, in face of an
advance of nc Saturday. Crop damage
reports have been largely offset by the lib
eral offerings of~the week, which seemed
to indicate that there was no cause for
the fears of short crop that have been
so much exploited recently. Fears of
beariSh government report also had a
marked effect upon prices. and it was not
until the closing Gay of the week that the
downward tendency was given a sub
stantial check. The talk of Hessian flies
has subsidized, and there Is nothing upon
which to base reliable estimates save the
reports received in the regular course of
business, and the receipts at leading grain
cent erS. In fact, the wheat market is in
decidedly uncertain condition, and the
present week may develop changes that
will make a vastly different showing at
the close of business next Saturday
There are no sensational features to re-
port. The loss in prices Tor the week Is
not regarded as an indication OF what
the active option will show by the day
for settlement Neither the bear nor the
bull element seems at all disturbed over
the outlook.
Features in corn and cats were lack
ing throughout the week Corn was weak
and strong by turns, closing Saturday
throughout the past few days. Oats were
in fair demand, but prices varied only
fractionally.
SUGAR SHORTS SQUEEZED.
In the stock market the exciting cpl
sode of the week was the hurrying to
cover of Sugar shorts, who had been mis-
led into the belief that there was to be
big slump in the stock. Those on the
inside looked wise and failed to deny the
rulnors that there was some sort of a
crisis imminent until the bears had taken
the bait, and then the denouement came
The result was that the tiInid ones were
badly hurt. Many were compelled to set
tie losses at a figure fully 20 points above
that at which they might have got out
Railroads are fairly strong, with every
indication that there will be further i'm
proVement upon better reports of earn
ings. The money market is also favora-
BILE to the bull element.

lower range OF prices for food prod
ucts. The surplus of exports over i'm
ports may continue large enough to pre-
vent any important exports of gold for
some time to come, but 1t is reasonable
to expect an ultimate return to a normal
condition of our foreign trade balance
The declaration of the usual quarterly
dividend by the American Sugar compa-
ny removes a doubt that has hung over
the market for quite a long period and
played into the hands of the bears. and
they have used it from time to time In
the most skiilful way to depress values.
The payment Of the dividend has sufficed
to call attention TO the innumerable num-
Der of others which will follow in quick
succession between now and the first OF
July, the aggregate amount of which is
estimated for this year at about $3.50, 900,
000-by far the largest on record. A very
considerable part of this money is not I'M

What stronger recommendation can be
made in behalf of these properties than
their dividend paying qualities as demon
strated in this way?

BANK STATEMENT HELPED.
Stocks of All Glasses Ruled Higher

NEW YORK, June 10.-Yesterday' no.
table rise in the price of stocks brought
the expected results in large orders to
commission houses by wire and mail to
buy stocks. These were put in at the
opening and executed at the high prices
to which values were marked. The pro-
fessional operators, who have been buy
ing stocks in the last few days, met this
demand with sales to realize. After this
trading had been concluded, it looked
as though the large operators who have
started to buy stocks IN the last few
days were indisposed to pursue their &C
tive course and the market began to
sag on light transactions.
The low point was made just before
the publication Of the bank statement,
when prices in many cases were below
last nights level. Prices for stocks hard
ened then and recovered most of the
earlier decline. Sugar touched the top
price for the day, and Consolidated Gas
rose about 51z points. Pennsylvania was
consistently strong throughout on the
selection OF the new president, and ct.
Paul enjoyed the benefit of its increase
of $4,000 in gross earnings for the first
week in June.
