NO OFFICE IF
 YOU DON'T VOTE
DIs1fAY IN NEW ORLEANS OVER
 A NEW RULE.
7 Several Hundred oniceholders Who Didn't Pay Their Poll Taxes in Danger of Losing Their Jobs. Unexpected Results of an
 Anti-Negro Suffrage
 Measure.

New Orleans Dispatch.
 The Civil Service Board of New Or leans has decided that A. A. Hart, just appointed booklxeeper of the Sewerage and Water Board of the city. cannot hold office because he neglected to vote in the Congress election last year. The matter may go before the courts.
 The decision will affect not only Hart, but several hundred other city employees who failed to vote in the Congress elec- ton, and were ignorant of the fact that the failure was a political crime which disqualified them for office. The matter of fitness does not enter into the ques- ton.
 Under the Louisiana Constitution a voter, in order to enjoy the suffrage. must pay his poll taxes for two years in advance of an election. Then to vote in the presidential election of 1904 he must have paid his poll tax for 1902. in that year. and his poll tax for 1903 in 1903. If he allows December 31 of any year to pass without paying this tax for that year he thereby disfranchises himself for two years to come.
 This provision. which was invented in Mississippi to dissuade the negroes from voting. has proved most effective, as there are very few negroes so prudent as ko pay their poll taxes for two years in advance of an election in order to partici- pate in it. It has hit great many white voters also.
 This has especially been the case in Louisiana, where the provision is new one. Nine-tenths of the negroes and nearly half the whites in Louisiana are self-disfranchised for the presidential election by failure to pay poll taxes in 5soz.
 Tn the recent municipal contest at Shreveport, a town of 20,000 persons, there were only a few hundred persons who could participate in the election. Hun grsds of s0-called best citizens looked an wriIy on unable to vote because of neglect on their part in the matter of paying &leir pon taxes.
 It begins to look as though this suff- rage provision, which was intended to re- huce the negro vote, would have the ef- feet of cutting down the white vote as well; and various plans have been sug-

The notice given by the board that no one can hold any office who does not vote promises to have stimulating effect on the poll list, and there has been rush ever since Go the registration office and to the city treasurer's ofilce to pay poll taxes.
 It has been practically made a crime in New Orleans not to vote; and the indica- tiong are that the total vote of the city and State will be much larger in the fu- ture than it has. been since the adoptidon of the new constitution of 1898.

DESCENDANT OF KING DAVID.
Philadelphia Woman Who Traced Kinshipr to Jewish Family of
 Abarbanel.

Abarbanel. Philadelphia Press.
 A lineaI descendant of King David died in Philadelphia last Sunday. '
 Mrs. Gustav Lipschuetz was her name She lived with her husband and five chil- 1ren at 1419 Diamond street. but death came in St. Luke's Hospital, where she had undergone an operation. She was 5s years of age. .
 Through the misty reaches of sacred history this woman could trace her kin ship to the distinguished Jewish family, AbarbaneI, whose relationship to King David Is uhdoubted and whose achieve ments throughout Europe are matters of history. >r5
 Mrs. Lipschuetz, whose maiden name was Bertha Neumann. spfang from that branch of the family of which Don Is aac Abarbanel, Prime Minister iftSSpain in 1492, was the head. During that time, when persecution against the Jews be- gan as a result of the change in the re- ligious views of Ferdinand and Isabella, Don Isaac was obliged to flee with his less favored brethren, The family scat tered. settling in various parts of Eu- rope Don Isaac afterward became Prime Minister in Italy.
 The grandfather of the dead woman was Rudolph Hirsch Abarbanel. one of the foremost rabbis of Germany in the last century. The city of Gretz. where he died, gave him a public funeral, and the gov ernment buildings were draped in mourn ing.
