Death of Mrs. Henry Abraham.

Mrs. Henry Abraham nee Alice
Goldsmith, wife of the prominent New
Orleans cotton factor, died at her resi-
dence in ST. Charles avenue at $50
clock p. m. Sunday, aged SO years.
Mrs. Abraham had been i'll for some
four years, but was not an invalid up
to last February, when the death OF
her son, Jacob Fl. Abraham, inflicted
shock from which she never quite
recovered. She was probably one OF
the most charitable women in New Or
leans, and was member of many
Hebrew and non-sectarian charitable
organizations. Her remains were laid
to rest in the Metairie cemetery at 4
O'Clock Wednesday afternoon, after
solemn services at the residence and
grave conducted by Rabbi Max Heller.
Besides her husband, Mrs. Abraham
is survived by three daughters, Mines.
Meyer Lemann, Simon Steinhardt and
Max Ellinger, and two sons, Maurice
and Joseph Il. Abraham. She also
leaves brother and sister, ten grand
children and large number Of other
relatives to mourn her loss. Mrs.
Lemann, one of the bereaved daugh-
tiers, is the wife of Myer Lemann, the
well-known local planter and mer-
chant.

Peculiar Republiean Counsellors.

a recent w ashington despatch bear
ing on the then pending contest for
the New Orleans postma stership said
that Postmaster General Wynne had
consulted Congressman Adolph Meyer
and Ex-senator VIM. Pitt Kellogg rel
alive to Louisiana affairs and had
thus obtained a knowledge OF the situ-
alton by getting Information from
both Sides" La view Of the fact that
Uncle Billy Pitt flew the coop" in
the last campaign and announced his
support of the Democratic ticket, he
was no more competent to represent
the Republican view than any other
Democrat; and considering further that
his political flop was attributed mainly
to his hearty dislike of President
Roosevelt, it seems bit strange that
q member of the presidents cabinet
should turn to such source for poi1t-
ical guidance and counsel. Il would
have been quite as reasonable to nave
called into the conference Capt. A. +.
Wimberly, ex-collector OF customs at
New Orleans, who not only turned his
back upon the Republican candidates,
but published pamphlet denunciatory
of President Roosevelt and appealing
to the negroes of the country to vote
against him. Kellogg and Wimberly
are Republicans of the same kidney,
and Democratic Congressman Meyer
is as good a Republican as either of
them. They may, however, be re-
garded as representatives OF "both
sidesn OF the Democratic circle, mas
much as the congressman is on the
inside and the other two are on the
outside.
Seeking knowledge and advice con-
corning Louisiana Republican affairs
from hack number and baek-slider
Wn, rltt Kellogg, who has been out
of the state for many years, is on a
par with going to the devil for scrip
tllral Interpretations.

Miss Marguerite Bentley Holland.
st. Helena Echo.

There, now! How does that strike
you as name for a ssgal" baby? We
are frank to say that, while it is not as
pretty as the dear little thing who will
have to pack it around with her .Wher-
ever she goes, it is very satisfactory
TO US, and lifts from our shoulders
great burden, for we feel certain that
if we had been compelled to struggle
for another week for 8 name our head
would have been as gray as rat.
We wish to express our thanks to
friends throughout Louisiana and
Mississippi for the interest they showed
in our behalf by sending us so many
beautiful floral names. So numerous
have they been that the Office seems
fragrant with the aroma thereof. But
there came sweet letter to Mrs. Rol-
land last Tuesday from Baton Rouge.
1t was from one who loves flowers, ii
their beauty is hidden from her, and
she entreated that she be named after
that sweet little flower, Marguerite.
This settled the floral part of the mat
ter, and when we went TO the house
Mrs. Ell. called as up and introduced
US to Miss Nj arguerite Bentley Holland.
Well, we bowed and scraped around
much. II is hardly necessary for us to
mention who the second section of this
name is given for, as all Louisianians
who read this will at once think of our
esteemed friend, L. E. Bentley, of the
Donaldsonville Chief, and the present
special deputy collector OF customs at
the New Orleans port. Mrs. e. said
she knew that if she would add Bentley
to It th at we would make no kick as TO
the other part.

BUSINESS in New Orleans.

The following excerpts from Dun's
Review OF Feb. II, showing general
and market conditions at New Orleans,
will prove OF interest:
General Conditions-Ihe trade has
shown some improvement, but the
movement of merch andlse in nearly all
lines continues to be eompar atively
light. Collections are still slow and
iobbers are seeking to collect in their
outstandings, rather than put out new
lines. until there has been an improve
ment in the cotton section. Retail
trade has been interfered with to some
extent by unreasonable weather.
Cotton-The cotton future market
has been active throughout the week,
and at one time was more than fifty
points higher than the closing week
ago. On Thursday the market res
acted under heavy selling and prices
declined twenty points. The spot m ar.
ket has not been affected by the re.
action in futures. During the week
spots have advanced fve-eigths and
the market closes very firm. Receipts
of cotton at all ports to date amount
to 6,792, 905 bales, against 6,1s4,364
bales last year. Stocks at all ports
are 759,o7 bales, against 767, 879 last
year.
Rice-There is better tone prevail
ing in the rice trade. The marketfor
rough rice is steady, although the
volume of business is comparatively
small. Clean rice has been in good
demand and the market is firm. Re
ceipts of rough rice for this season
have been 1909, 962 sacks, against
/ .22O, OFT last season. The Louisiana
crop movement is reported by Dan Tai
mage's Sons as follows: Receipts
/ ,446, 635 sacks rough, against I472,-
290 sacks last year; sales 1,O6, 648
pockets cleaned, against 94s, 522a year
ago.
sugar-Receipts from plantations
still continue light. The market has
been rather quiet, but there has been
no change in quotations and prices
are steady. Molasses and syrups are
| also quiet and steady, with limited
| offerings

President Roosevelt continues to ex-
hibit implacable malevolence towards
the south. The latest instance OF his
sectional partisanship is indicated by
the announcement of his intention to
appoint Gen. Tnos. T.. Rosser, OF
Charlottesville, Va, as collector of
internal revenue for the Richmond
district. Gen. Rosser was a dashing
cavalry officer in the Confederate army
during the civil war.

STATE or LOUISIANA,
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.

The Chief is perfectly willing to
accept Gov. Blanchard's statement
that he had not received the letters
calling his attention to the vacancy in
the council, and the only explanation
of the incident in accord with the Cir
eumstances seems to be that there was
culpable neglect somewhere. Two let
tiers were sent to Gov. Blanchard, one
of them being registered. The first
communication failed entirely to reach
it's destination, and the registered let
ter, mailed at Donaldsonville on the 9th,
was not received by Governor Blan-
chard until the evening of the 18th and
probably not until the following day.
Either the first letter was lost in the
mails and the second was delayed in
transmission, or the secretaries of the
governor. whose business it is to look
after the mails and lay all important
communications before the chief execu-
tive, were grossly negligent in their
duty.
At any rate, the vacancy in the coun
ell has been filled at last and that is
the end The Chief had in view when
last weeks editorial was written. It's
perfectly apparent that if the power Of
filling vacancy in the council was
lodged by law IN some local authority,
instead Of being prerogative Of the
governors, the prolonged interregnum
would not have been permitted to exist;
and we still hold to the opinion that
the appointive power of the governor
OF this state is entirely too great and
comprehensive and ought to- be mate
rally reduced.
