port outside of New York.
The death rate of New Orleans now
s about 20 per 1000. Improved drain
age conditions will lower IT easily to
IS; and the completion of the sewer
age and paving systems and an abun-
liant supply of pure water would, speak
ing from scientific experience, reduce
1t to ten or even nine per 1900.
Preparatory to these far-reaching
Innovations the city council has caused
the telegraph, telephone and electric
light companies to place their wires
underground, so that in the space of
half decade New Orleans will have
evolved from the slowest TO the most
progressive city in America.
The public buildings, many of them
old and uncomfortable, are about to
give place to modern and architectural
ly perfect structures, and the parks,
nnequalcd i'm point of natural beauty,
are being improved Mt u rapid rate.
Audubon park and City park, by the.
way, are famous for possessing the
most exquisite oaks in America, some
Of the trees being 300 years old.
That the commercial development
will more than go hand in hand with
the city's sanitary Improvement can
not for an instant be doubted. New Or
leans has always been the great cotton
trade center of America, and has han
died immense quantities of sugar and
rice in addition. Moreover, 1t is the sec
ond largest grain exporting point in the
United States. But it's trade in manu-
factured goods and its manufacturing
interests are in want of development.
Capital has been kept away from the
city by its unsanitary condition, and
the same cause has hampered its ship
ping interests. Situated nearly 100
miles from the mouth OF the Mississippi
river it possesses a harbor which, at
comparatively small expense, could be
made accessible to our modern ocean
leviathans. The United States govern
nent is fully aware of this fact, and has
just let contract for the construction
of a steel floating dry dock, to cost $780,
900, which portends the establishment
of a navy yard and the deepening of the
river channel. Once thoroughly
healthy city, free from the incubus of

Naval Ordnance Cniccr~ Hope Tbey

Naval ordnance officers have hopes
that the department will succeed in get
ting satisfactory bids for armor, of
which $4,000 tons will be bought during
the next year or two, uggregating in
cost fully $0,000,OO0. One officer said
that should the Carnegie and Bethle-
hem companies refuse TO bid within the
limit fixed by congress IL might be pos
sible TO induce other firms to enter the
competition, especially as the amount
involved was large one and calculated
to warrant the establishment of "a
plant
1t was stated also that the navy de.
part1nent probably would encourage
any firm to erect II plant for the manu-
facture of armor and permit such ex-
tension of time as would enable con.
cern to secure the necessary tools and
Mcguire the processes of armor plate
production. The ordnance officers are
by no means of one opinion on the sub
Ject of encouraging new firms to bid
under any such conditions. 1t is point
cd out that no plant could be estab-
lished without the assurance of big or

Manufacturing enterprises are natu-

New Orleans of the nineteenth century,
town of sentiment and tradition, will
evolve itself into mighty mart, where
sordid competition will be tempered by
art and letters and the high breeding
of its social leaders-a typical twen-
tieth century metropolis, cosmopolitan
in population, international in com
merce and thoroughly American in cit
izenship and higher civilization.
The writer has dwelled at some
length upon the material aspect of the
present condition of the city of New
Orleans, because higher development
depends upon material surroundings.
The women of New Orleans recognized
this innlterable fact long before their
husbands and fathers, and were among
the first to advocate the construction

scribed. Their efforts were ably sec
onded by the press and by the younger
element of business and professional
men who realized that the future of
their city depended upon progress,
both within and without. And among
this coterie of bright and promising
public men none is entitled to greater
praise than Mr.. Sidney Story, who, as
member of the city councihand infu-
ential club man, crystallized sentiment
Into action and made the dreams of
Others reality. Young, ambitious and
singularly devoted to the city of his
birth, he oyercame obstacles which
were fortified by the prejudice Of cen
turies, and coerced cooperation when
simple reasoning failed. Opposition
I based upon sentimental grounds, he
had to fight in season and out of sea-
son; but the end has justified his eff
forts, and when the history of New Or
leans is written his name deserves a
prominent place on it's brightest page.
In the meantime he merits public rec
ognition at the hands of his fellow citi-
zens, and the indications are that he
will receive it, as well as those who
worked with him for the good of the
Crescent city. q. w. WEIPPIERT

II Ii cities. For years she has slept
and allowed great opportunities to pass
her door unhecded. The good things
that might have been hers for the ask

sometimes with contempt. Blessed by
providence with geographical location
which, for purposes Of commerce., has
no equal on the American continent,
her people clung TO the traditions of the
pust, to unwholesome sanitary condi-
tions and unprogressivc municipal gov
ernment, which frequently was tainted
with corruption and premeditated NAL
administration of affairs.
But the day of awakening came at
last. 1t came suddenly, unexpectedly.
New blood was introduced into the
council chambers, men noted for en-
terprise and honesty, young men filed
with local pride and an understanding
of the city's most crying needs, were
chosen to make its laws and restore it
to its proper position as the metropolis
of the south, the gateway to Central
and South America and the islands in
the Caribbean, the great trading center
of the American gulf coast.
For 2e0 years the surface drainage
of the city was emptied into Lake Pont-

ROBERTS WILL Be EXPELLED,

Washington, Nov. 25.-Brigham H.
Roberts, the representative ELECT from
Utah, will probably be expelled by the
house of representatives if he does not
forestall such action by resigning his
seat. Among the leading representa-
tives who have arrived in Washington
the belief is general that Mr.. Roberts
will be expelled.
Mr.. Henderson who is to be the
speaker of the house, will not discuss
the matter, but it is understood that
he is in favor of depriving Mr. Roberts
of his seat. If the democrats should
rally solidly to the support of Mr..
Roberts, it would be impossible to Sc
cure the necessary two7thirds vote in
favor of the expulsion, but there. does
not atopresent seem to be, any disposi-
ton in their partyeto makesth question
party issue.
Democrats, as well as republicans,
have been subjected to great deal of
pressure from churches and women's
societies from all parts of the country,
and the present prospects are that each
man will be allowed to vote as he sees
fit, without attempts by the leaders of
either party to whip their followers
into line.

leadership, who are in the city, while

of his time in Europe in Frankfort,
where he studied with Stockhausen. the
greatest living authority in the inter
probation of German heder. While in
Germany he sang before the emperor.
But what pleases him most to recall is
the fact that he has sung to the ac-
compartment of Brahms and of Clara
Schumann. In London he studied with
Edwin Holland, and formed pleasant
friendships with the Henschels and the
Alma Tademas. When he left Frank
fordt, the American consul gave ball
in his honr, and in London one of his
agreeable experiences consisted in sing

RICHARDS RISE.
A " orcester Boys Climb
in the Insurance
Business.

Ellis G. Richards, the new United
States manager of the North British
& Mercantile Insurance ompany, was
born in this city Dec. 16, 1S4S. After
public school education he was book
keeper eight years in manufacturing
establishment of the city. He entered
he fire insurance business in 1874 in
he Office of the New England general
agency of the Commercial Union at
Boston. He was in the service of the
national board Of fire underwriters,
with headquarters here, from Novem
Der, 1874, to April, 1871 special agent
of the Royal land Pennsylvania Fire,
under Foster & Scull of Boston, from
that time until May, 1884, and then be-
came special agent of the Queen for
New England. He remained in charge
of the New England business of that
company until his appointment to the
secretaryship of the National of Hart
ford, April g. 1887. He was made di-
rector of the National in 1895, and in
December, 1896, was also elected vice
president.

declining to express their views in ad-
vance of the consideration of the case,
have said that they did not think the
question of party politics would be
raised in its consideration
The only way Mr.. Roberts can be un-
seated is by a resolution of expulsion.
Such resolution will be offered, and it
will probably be referred either to the
committee on elections or to the Judi
ciary committee, which is the law com
mittee of the house. The committee
will probably make a thorough inquiry
into the case, and will present its re-
port, which win then be acted upon
ny the house.
1t is probable that the view express
ed by Mr.. Dingley in discussing the
Roberts case shortly before his death
will be generally adopted. Mr. Ding
ley held that the state of Utah, having
entered into a compact with the United
States at the time of admission into
the union, that polygamy should be
abolished, the sending of an avowed
polygamist to congress was a gross
violation of that compact, and that
congress should refuse to allow the
man thus sent to retain a seat

DID NOT DIE OF HAzING.
Martin Bergen Was Fatally
Hurt in a Friendly
Scuf1e.

Princeton, N. j., Nov 25.-Young
Martin Bergen did not die as a result
of hazing by schoolmates at Lawrence
willie, as at first reported, and the cir
cumstances that We're connected with
the case are as follows: Bergen went
into the room of one of his friends
on last Friday afternoon, and being
an enthusiastic Princeton sympathizer,
he playfully tore down a Yale flag
which was hanging on the wall. When
one of his friends saw this, he made
a grab for Bergen and the two Wres-
tied about the room until finally Ber-
gems friend threw him on the bed and
he, with another lad, pied the young
fellow. pied" means that the other
two piled on top of Bergen and
crushed him down. 1t is done every
day of the year, and his is the first
known instance where it is known to
have ended fatally.
After the tussle, Bergen arose, land
laughingly bidding his friends adieu,
was off for a re @ alton. That day and
Saturday he was as clipper as lark
and seemed in no way affected by his
ioust. On Sunday he was taken ill,
and being brought here, died in great
agony yesterday afternoon from an
acute case OF pefltOn1tlS.
All Lawrenceville school is in gloom
over the sad affair, as Bergen was pop
ular both with his school fellows and
professors alike. President McPher-
son, the head master of Lawrenceville
school, is both grieved and incensed
over the report that has gone out that
Bergen died as. a result of hazing, and
today made the following statement:
THE lad was not hazed in any sense
of the word If Martin Bergen died
from pertonitis, and it was due to the
tussle he had with his two friends, no
blame can be attached to those boys,
as 1t is positively known that the lads
were both classmates and chums, and
were only engaged in friendly strug-

Peter V. Bergen of this place. the
father of the dead lad, was seen today
and made the following statement:

ing he underwent last Friday, it was
an unfortunate accident, for the lads
with whom he was scuffling were his
close friends. l hope the authorities
at Lawrenceville will not be hard on
them"

loss keenly, but show Christian resig
