In a communication, which embod-

the formation of independent groups

an electoral ticket is provided for, but
that candidates be selected for every

AUNT HARRIET FRANCOIS.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Aug. 81
When Harriet Francois died few days
ago, there passed away one of the
city's most picturesque figures. She
was born in slavery, but her quick
intelligence and splendid aptitude took
her at an early age from the field 20
the home circle, where she was par
ticularly useful as maid. And IN
after years she became probably the
most famous hairdresser in Louisiana.
In the mellow days of the south
land, and even in comparatively re.
cent years, there was scarcely ball
given in the city or the state, the
belle of which had not been made love
lier by Harriet Francois rare art.
In the old days Aunt Harriet" as
she was usually called, excelled in the
arranging of coiffures, which consiste |
CT masses of hair and eurls such as
were the style in ante bellum days.
Her services were sought by the arls-
tocratic women of both city and
country.
Harriet. at one time, had her head.
quarters in the old Royal hotel. Here
she catered to the fashionable women
who frequented the historic hostelry
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1904-08-31

She did not have a hairdresing parlor,
but went from one apartment 10
another. She could serve 30 clients
in one evening.
She was born in the service Of Dr.
Taylor of Kentucky, in whose family
she was reared as a maid. While still
a girl, she was bought by Gen. Grason.
She was given her freedom before the
war.
From the Hotel Royal, she went 10
the old st. Charles hotel. She was
frequently taken abroad as maid,
and travelled over nearly the whole
of Europe. She alos visited every state
of the union.
She was reliable nurse and regarded
herself as the cole nanny" of many
well known men and women who now
live in different parts of the United
States.
She had not been in active service
since the burning of the old st.
Charles hotel. Failing health had con-
fined her to her home for long time
That she had many white friends was
attested by the attention she received
in her last illness. She was provided
with evrything that could tend to make
her last days on earth comfortable
in the little home which was her own.

FOR BANTAM
Weight TITLE

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. al
The SIX round contest between
FRANKIE Neil and Tommy" MUIR
ply, to be held tonight before the
National Athletic club, promises to
be an interesting affair and will de-
eide the bantamweight championship
of the world. Nell, the present hold
err of the title, is apparently not in
fear of the result. Murphy, who
has just graduated from the amateur
class is considered in New York to
be wonder, having a clean record,
and having bested men considerably
heavier than himself His hackers
believe that he will make Neil step
lively at the start and eventually
win. The fight will be witnessed by
a large delegation of sporting men

gathering of business men who be-

sued for 1876 by Frederick Schmol,

in butter and who alleges that he
has been paid but 500 on his con-
tract
Lieutenant Governor Bartlett de-
clares that Mr.. Schmol will not be
paid any more than that and that
he ought to be satisfied, considering
the kind of iconoclasm he has been
guilty Of
"Why, sir" said the North Dakota
executive. that statue looks no more
like the hero of San Juan charging
upoa the enemy than 1t looks like the
Onidean Venus. On the contrary the
presidents features began to run as

that visitors had fun with the statue.

few days before it was ordered out
when one remarked:
"The hero of San Juan Is running"
And another equally as ready wit
was out with: Look at the animal s
mouth; he's giving Teddy the horse
laugh"
Bartlett happened along and of
course no one knew that he was an
official and an ardent admirer of the
president.
"Parker's got cinch in beating
that" one of the crowd put in. II
shouldn't say that Roosevelt is q
man OF much backbone II he wob-
bles so on his horse"
Bartlett gritted his teeth. 1t was
evident to him that both horse and
rider were champing the bit to be of
to the refrigerator.
Looks like he's wounded" said an
other. from the way he hangs sc
limp"
That's the impression they are
trying to create; make it appear that
Teddy was really far out on the fir
ing line. when as n matter of fact
he reached the top of San Juan hill
after his friends. the negroes, had
put the enemy out of business"
This was too much ror Lieutenant
Governor Bartlett. He walked back
to his office and gave orders for the
instant removal of the statue.
The statue was three-quarters siz-
ed and toward the end of it's career
was not calculated to make many
hero worshippers from among those
who gazed upon it, It's strength
appealed more to the nostrils than
the eye.
