NEEDED SANITATION.

In all seriousness, the street commit
tee, or the City Council as a whole,
ought to give immediate attention to
and have put in proper condition the
public cutters on Front and Cherokee
Streets. There may be other cutters
in the city needing attention and bet
ter drainage just as bad as these, but
If so, they are not so conspicuous and
offensive to the eyes and noses of SO
many people. 1t is no exaggeration to
say that the gutter on Front Street
from the Racket Store to Perkins cor
ner, the most public thoroughfare of
the city, is as filthy and offensive as
those ON some of the worst back alleys
in New Orleans in July and August.
The one in front of Lenzs Bakery
on Cherokee Street is little or no bet
ter. Such condition of things is sim
ply disgrace to city of the impor-
tance and pretentions of Brookhaven
and is most serious menace to public
health; to say nothing of the bad i'm
preston it makes upon all visitors.
And more than this, it is an encour-
agement to bad sanitation throughout
the city. If the street committee and
City Council will from week to week
and month to month permit such
state of affairs to exist right on the
most public streets of the city under
The eyes of every passer-by, in the
name of high Heaven what cannot be
expected in the way of filth and dis
breeding germs on the by-streets
and in the back yards of the town,
with the hot weather fairly on uss
The situation calls for action, and
prompt and effective action at that.

4 WAR RELIC.

A deed, beautiful in conception and
rich in historic lore, was done by Mrs.
A. Q. May, of the State Capital, last
week. Mrs. May is a daughter of
Mrs. w. w. Scott, who was formerly
Miss Bette Cooper, of the old Cooper
Mansion, Of Jackson. For many years
there has been in the possession of her
family the piano that was moved out
of the home of her mother, when it
was set on fire to prevent its oocupa-
ton by the Federals in 1868. "The
boys" of the Fifth Company, Washing
ton Artillery, were part of the advance
guard of the army which was marching
to Vicksburg to relieve Pemberton,
and the music from the old piano,
played upon by Capt. A. G. Swain, in
spired them in the face of death and
danger. They finally left it with the
family whose home had been burned.
Only a few survivors of the shot and
shell of the Civil War remain now,
and about thirty of them witnessed the
presentation a OF! Of the hattle-scarred in
Istrument last Saturday night to the
Louisiana Historical Association, in
Memorial Hall, New Orleans. The
presentation speech was made by Hon.
A. Q. May, and g poem, "The Battle
Scared Piano. written by Miss Mar
garet Lackey, of Hillman College, this
State, was read.
The old fashioned instrument, with
its scratches and sears, that battle
stained veteran would value as stars"
is now worth only few dollars, but
the Washington Artillery would not
take q kings ransom for it.

DIR. B. NJ. PALMER.

The beloved preacher, soldier and
citizen has fallen at his post of duty.
No death, less honorable, could come
to one so great and good. At the ad-
vanced age Of "a years, after passing
through many of the ills that flesh is
heir to; after suffering atf1iction, be-
reavement, conflicts from without and
fears from within; after going down in
to the jaws of death "where the deep
mouthed cannon roar", and coming
up triumphant, attaining heights vic
torious in spite of all that deferred or
hindered, DR.. Palmer at last sue
oumbed to the effects of what in our
short-sighted vision is called ian
accident. "He died-no matter how
he died., his glorious life is the cher
ished memory of all hearts that knew
him and will live on, victorious over
death, through reckoning years un-
born.
A few short months ago DIR. Palmer
stood beside the gifted Talmage in his
own church in New Orleans and sat
and listened to words almost Divine
from the eloquent lips of that bright
hearted old man, so young beneath the
weight of three-score years and ten.
The fell destroyer even then was
drawing nigh to one, and soon the
triumphant soul of Talmage took its
flight, the sermon preached on that
eventful day proving to be the ben
ediction of his life. To-day DIR. Pal.
mer's church but echoes the sound of
both their sainted voices, while their
glorified, helpful hands are clasped in
reunion in the Church of the Re-
deemed.
Whether king or potentate, presi-
dent or prince, no higher honor could
be shown mortal dust than that be-
slowed by New Orleans and her press,
upon the insensate clay of the beloved
DR.. Palmer. All classes and creeds
found common sorrow, and mingled
their tears of regret and their flowers
of love about the tomb of one who had
signally served his fellows.
There is no greatness without good
ness, and the world but honors itself
when it recognizes in whatsoever man
ner, in life or death, the loftiness of
principle and the purity of character
that were DR.. Palmer's, and that COM
bine to make the only excellence in
human life worthy the name.
AS DR.. Palmer's oonsecrated life, in
its usefulness and steadfastness of a
righteous purpose, lifted the fallen
and helped the weak, so in his death
has he lifted up the cross to the multi
tude, who, in one grand pean of praise
are impelled to exclaim: "Worthy is
the Lamb that was slain, since such
life has enriched the poverty of this
world through the redeeming blood of
the Christians God.

DLSGRACEFUL AND SHAMELESS
CONDUCT.

CONDCCI.
OF numerous persons who passed
Old Brook last Sunday afternoon, two,
lady and gentleman, have reported
to The LEADER the shameless and in
decent conduct that unavoidably came
under their eyes as they passed along
the public highway. The gentleman
writes:
1t ever an outrage was perpetrated
on civilized community it is being
done at Milam's old mill seat, at Old
Brook. Young men and boys of vari-
GUS colors go in bathing right on the
public highway where ladies and also
gentlemen are constantly passing and
must close their eyes or else behold
motley crowd of them in a nude state.
There couldn't be more indecent set
found in the jungles of Africa. Is
there no law to protect decent trav-
cling public from such an outrage?
Yes, there is protection, if the officers
of the law and those who witness these
things will identify the offenders
against public deeency and cooperate
with the officers in bringing the guilty
parties to justice. And it is high time
"the cold steel of the law" were being
applied vigorously, too. Nothing else
will make any impression when these
unblushing offenders against public
decency are so lost to all self-respect
and respect for others as to parade
their naked persons before whomso-
ever may pass along this public high
way, ladies or gentlemen.
The officers ought to take the mat
ter in hand and stop it, and stop it at
once.

PEACE AT LAST.
BOers Get the HonOrs- England
Comes Out of the Conflict
With Little to Her
Credit.

London, June 3-While all London
is today slowly recovering from one of
the widest nights in it's history in Gel
ebration of the ending of the Boer war,
an undercurrent of discomfort is ap-
parent on all sides. Many of the old
soldiers who took no part in the bois-
ferrous scenes of last night say bitter
lythat England has secured peace with
out honor-in fact, it seems to them
England has gotten all the peace, while
the Beers have secured all the honors.
This idea is re-echoed in more think
ing quarters, also. The Liberal mem
bers of the house of commons say
freely and openly that peace in South
Africa might have been secured year
earlier upon much better terms had
not Great Britain been so obdurate.
1t is freely asserted on all sides that
the peace terms are the most liberal
ever granted to any defeated enemy,
and certain it is that the Beers and
their sympathizers have much consola-
tion for the temporary loss of the inde-
pendence of two erstwhile republics
