OLDEST AT7ERICAN PAPER.
Distinction Claimed For the Ports

Some time ago there appeared in the

with old American Newspapers in

will mark the completion of the second
century since the birth of Benjamin
Franklin. The Saturday Evenine Post.
in a way the successor of Franklin's
Pennsylvania Gazette, is mentioned.
but it is not regarded as actually the
Oldest paper in the United states. The
honors for longevity are given to the
Newport (R. - Mercury, which is de-
scribed as the 'oldest American news
paper, published without change of
name continuously down to the present
time." The Mercury, 1t is added, was
established IN 1853,
Our Indiana contemporary is, of
course, mistaken. The New Hampshire
Gazette antedates the Mercury by two
years. 1t first made its appearance in
Portsmouth on Oct. 7, 1856, and ha S
sheen published without change Of
name continuously down to the present
time" Its age is greater than teat of
any other newspaper now printed in
the western hemisphere. 1t has ad-
sorbed papers and has witnessed the
birth and death of many others, but
has itself never missed an issue. The
Gazette would salute the Mercury as
an interesting younger brother with
record OF achievement second only to
irS own.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

"By the President of the United
States of America: A proclamation
When, nearly three centuries ago, the
settlers came to the country which has
now become this great republic they
confronted not only hardship and pri-
walton, but terrible risk to their llYes.
In those grim years the custom grew OF
setting apart one day in each year for
a special service of thanksgiving to the
Almighty for preserving the people
through the changing seasons. The
custom has now become national and
hallowed by immemorial usage. We
live in easier and more plentiful times
than our forefathers, the men who, with
rugged strength, faced the rugged days;
and vet the dangers to national life are
quite as great now as at any previous
time in our history. 1t is eminently fit
ting that once year our people should
set apart day for praise and thanks
giving to the GiYer of Good, and at the
same time to express their thankfulness
for the abundance of mercies received,
should manfully acknowledge their
shortcomings and pledge themselves
solemnly and in good faith to strive to
overcome them. During the past year
we have been blessed with bountlful
crops. Our business prosperity has
been great. No other people haye ever
stood on as high a level of well-being
as ours now stand. We are not threat
ened by foes from without. The foes
from whom we should pray to be de-
ivered are our own passions, appetites
and follies, and against these there is
always need that we should war.
"Thercfore l set apart Thursday, the
thirtieth day of this November, as day
for thanksgiving for the past and prayer
for the future, and on that day ask
that the people throughout the country
gather in their homes and places OF
worship and render thanks to the Most
High for the manifold blessings for the
past year; consecrate themselves to

An Absent Bay St. Louisian Contri-
butes to the Cemetery Fence Fund

A private letter addressed to the Echo
in which was enclosed the sum of $500,
a voluntary subscription to the iron fence
fund of "Cedar Rest" cemetery, was re-
ceived few days ago. The lett er is
from a well-known absent Bay ST. Louis
citizen, and the following extract there
from will be perused with interest:
Patterson, La, Oct. %, 1905.
Mrs. Pieri incloses $500 as her con-
tribution to the "Cemetery Fence
FUND.-. We have loYed ones resting in
the Old Cemetery, and we will feel bet
ter satisfied when we know that their
graves are permanently protected
against the depredations of animals run
ming at large.
We are very grateful also to the mem
ory of John B. Toulme, whose spirit of
brotherly love prompted his gift of that
Resting Place" to all, without distinc-
ton as to creed or nationality, born of
that broad tolerance which recognizes
"One Shepherd, One Fold". He is en-
titled to substantial testimony of graf
itude from those who have shared his
gift and spirit of true Christian love.
A slab, at least, telling of his philan-
thropy to our people should be placed
at the main entrance of the "Old Gene
tery", and as we are advocating that
recognition, we would cheerfully con
tribute to such a fund. Omitting the
acknowledgement of his Gift, savors Of
selfishness and ingratitude. The people
of Bay st. Louis cannot afford such a
stigma to rest upon them, because they
have never refused to resnond to all
causes appealing to their generosity and
charity.
We are pleased to add that the col
ored population of Bay St. Louis is en-
titled to the congratulations of their
white fellow citizens for that spirit with
which they co-ogerased in raising funds
for the contemplated cemetery fence,
and I am happy to be able to join our
people in giving publicity to our ex-
pressions of sincere appreciation,

Demise of rIrs. rIadeieine j. Breath.

DAY morning, Tludy NOscHiUoF ,, ISUO,
at half past one o'clock, at the family
residence in Main street, this city, sur
rounded by husband, seven grown chill
dren, other relatives and friends. The
end came peacefully and beautifully,
without murnur or struggle, and for
titled by the last sacraments of the Cath
oic church the spirit gently winged its
way to its Maker.
The deceased was a native of Bay St.
Louis, aged seventy-two years, and was
daughter of John B. Toulme, who was
pioneer of Bay St. Louis and vicinity
descendant of an illustrious French
family; sister of John v. Toulme, de-
ceased, and who served for many years
as mayor of this city.
In early life she was resident of New
Orleans, and married Evariste Saucier,
member of a prominent FAMILY and a
well-known and prosperous cotton factor
of that city, To this union five children
were born. These are: Joseph Evariste
Saucier, sheriff of this county; Claudius
Saucier, Mrs. Lydia Eagan, w. E. Sau-
cier, Miss Edwige Saucier. After the
death of Mr.. Saucier she was married to
John A. Breath in 1872, and to this
union was born two children, Charles
Albert Breath, successful merchant of
this city, and daughter, Victoire, wife
of E. J, Calonge, of New Orleans.
Mrs. Breath was averitable land mark
and was widely known throughout the
county; no one knew better the history
of Bay st. Louis and vicinity. Of an
observant mind and retentative memory
her store of knowlege of local events was
wide. For some years past she had been
in failing health, although her intellect
remained unimpaired and was as bright
and active as ever until three months
ago, when she was first stricken wi tn an
attack Of apoplexy, and it was then Yis-
ible that the final dissolution was setting
IN and the inevitable end was near.
Following the first stroke she was
again stricken on Thursday of last week,
and became unconscious, from VIII ich
she never rallied. Ever since then a
vigil was kept at her bedside by her
loved ones, friends and neighbors.
Mrs. Breath was noble woman; kin
and generous, and her charity knew no
bounds. Her home was that of a true
Southerner, where genuine hospita ity
was dispensed. This Southern trait as
marked during the civil war, when her
home was opened to the soldiers of the
Confederacy and many kindnesses and
valuable services did she render these
patriots. AS token of appreciation Of
these acts, the remaining veterans no W
residing here requested that they be
privileged to ofhciate as pail bearers,
and which honor was granted. These
were DR.. Turner, DR.. Rohmer, J. M.
Tyler, w. A. Dill, G. w. Maynard. The
funeral, conducted by Rev. Father Voy-
er, from the late residence to the church
of Our Lady of the Gulf. thence to the
bosom of mother earth at Cedar Rest,
was largely attended, testifying to the
high esteem in which the deceased was
held by the townspeople.
The Echo in common with the public
and in particular with the friends of the
family, sympathizes deeply with the be-
reaved family in their profound sorrow.

JEWISH DESTITUTION.
Relief Work in Russia Hindered by
Telegraphers' Strike.

The secretary of the committee which was
appointed by the recent conference held In
London under the craftsmanship of Lord
Rothschild to take charge of the distribution
of the funds collected for the relief Of Jews
In Russia said in London last night that
the committee was being much hampered
by the failure of Geographic communication.
He said that the following dispatch had
been received from the travelling commits
sioners who are now working In various
parts of Russia securing data and statistics
for the guidance Of those who are distribut-
ing the funds
'Telegraphic communication has been en-
tirely stopped throughout Russia and we
are without news. We are sending this to
the frontier
After a personal inspection We can re-
port that the destruction is indescribable
Hundreds of shops have been destroyed and
business Is at a standstill. The damage
amounts to millions of rubles.
Forty thousand persons are affected In
I<ieff alone. Several small towns which had
Jewish sections have been entirely burned
and the people are sleeping In the fields
The secretary said that relief centers had
been established at Ekaternoslav, Gomel,
Kieff, Odessa, Poltava, Rostoff, Ondon,
Simferopol and Moscow. The travelling COM
missioners say that III towns have been
the scenes of Jewish massacres. These fig
ures do not include a number of villages
and Siberian towns, many of which suffered
from the anti-Semitic madness
Writing from KieR under date of Deem
Der l the commissioners say that the town
was then in open riot and that firing was
continual. The British consul had offered
to shelter the commissioners.
The secretary said that up to date 81, 475-
600 had been contributed. This sum includ-
ed 100000 from the United States, $780,
600 from Germany and $435, 900 from Great
Britain. The sum of $685., 600 had already
been RENTED to Russia.
The committee, the secretary said, pro-
posed to organize a special system of re-
lief for the orphaned children, who would
be removed from Russia and given into the
care of Jewish families in other countries

ISLE OF PINES PROGRAM.
Delegate Coming Here to Ask Seat in
House,

Edward c. Ryan. who was chosen by the
American residents of the Isle of Pines as
a territorial delegate to Congress, will leave
Havana for this city December 8, accom-
panied by the members of his family. Mr.
Ryan said at Havana yesterday that he
would present to the House of Representa-
lives his credentials from the isle of Pines
legislative assembly"
He expected that these credentials would
be referred to q committee before which
would then come the question as to whether
the island was American territory. He said
that IL the House should seat him and the
Senate meanwhile ratify the treaty conced-
Ing the island to Cuba. the contention would
then be raised that the island could not be
constitutionaIiy disposed of except by the
act OF both Houses. If the House did not
seat him the matter would be taken to the
United States Supreme Court In another
form.
Mr.. Ryan showed a written statement
signed by the leaders of the movement. in
which they assert In the pending treaty both
the government OF the United States and
that Of Cuba recognize the island as Ameri-
can territory. The statement contends that
Cuba temporarily has the right OF police
jurisdiction and no other.
After referring to alleged injustices Of the
Cuban government, the statement complains
that while Panama's declaration Of inde-
pendence was Immediately recognized by
the United States, 1--WE. OF your own race,
have prayed four years for justice without
effect. II the time comes when the shedding
OF blood shall be necessary for obtaining
these peoples rights, much responsibility
will rest upon the United States govern
ment"
