THE BOARD OF HEALTH.

1t cannot be questioned that one Of
the most important functions Of muni
cipal governments is to institute such
a system of sanitation with rules and
regulations, as will, with the greatest
certainty, conserve the general health
Of the community.
In the selection of the Board Of
Health, political or partizan motives
should not obtain, neither should a
desire to reward political adherents be
considered, but in the appointments
fitness, experience in sanitation, tire
less energy, and good stock of ply
steal courage, all these qualities
should be found in the members con-
stituting the bulwark Of the City's
health.
The Board of Health over which
DIR. J. w. Sanders presided met all
these requirements in al emf.
nent degree. Let any unprejudiced
citizen look over the personel of that
Board and sec If it can be improved, ,
physicians of known probity, skill and
prominence constitute the backbone Of
of the Board, supplemented by other
citizens in whom reside the very best
qualifications for their important and
often delicate labors
This Board of Health was elected
for four years, and had entered into
the discharge Of their duties in most
satisfactory manner.
What plausible or sensible reason
can be adduced for the dissolution of
this Board? Surely not the one of re-
warding political favorites at the ex-
pense Of the health Of the City, for it
will be impossible to appoint better
Board, hence the positive injury to the
community. In previous admins
tration the old BoAM were allowed to
serve ont their term, although to some
extent not in intimate touch with that
administration it was considered pre-
judicial to the interests Of the town to
make any changes. Such action of
the present Council would have been
acceptable to the people Of this COM
munity which regards this very inn
portant matter as outside Of the do
main OF politics.

HIGH LICENSE.

While We have advocated a high
license for our City, from revenue
standpoint, we are convinced that the
application of high license by the Po-
lice Jury throughout the Parish,
would result in much benefit, not only
financially, but have salutary effect
ON our laboring population, There
are numerous saloons in every ward
of the Parish, in one we hear of sew
enteen, which are rendezvous for the
idle and evil disposed negroes, who
prefer to hang around them, rather
than 60 to work in the fields. who
constantly refuse the urgent calls OF
the planter and farmer needing their
help. This class of people are con-
slant menace to the lawabiding popu-
lation. Drunken negroes perambulat-
ing the plantations and faFms are the
violators of law, constantly commit
ting crimes and giving much uneasi-
ness to the people, who have no police
regulations, such as IN towns. A hlRh
license would do away with these ir
responsible saloons and would tend to
raise the status of the laborer and
those who frequent these places,
where the fry liquid is dispensed.
Less crime would be committed, the
moral atmosphere purified, better pro-
lection to life and property. A great
or revenue derived would be the re-
suit of a high license throughout the
Parish. We trust our Police Jury
will consider this matter and con-
serve the public interests by raising
the liquor license to such figure, a.
will compel these crime breeding
rendezvous for lazy men to close their
doors.

THE HANGING OF AMOS HOLMES.

Friday, July It'll, was the fatefull
day for Amos Holmes, for on that day
at IL :2S O'Clock he was hanged by She
neck until he was dead, according to
the sentence pronounced by Judge
James Simon OF this District Court
Amos Holmes was one of those wan
dering kind of negroes, who stayed but
a short time i'll one place. He claims
he came here last year from Lodena,
Apk., in quest of work and while on
Avery's Island in search of work.
committed the heinous crime, on the
defenseless woman, for which he paid
his life yesterday He was young in
years, being only 10 years old, but
his make up denoted more mature
man. Sheriff Henderson and deputies
crime was committed, but not until a
hot chase, during which the negro
was disabled by shot from the
Sheriff's revolver.
Judge Simon Immediately took the
proper steps for a speedy trial which
was given him in which the revolt
ing crime was irrevocably and I'M
questionably fixed upon him, being
fully identified by his victim and her
little brother and chain of evidence
fully connecting him with the crime.
The execution was witnessed by about
fifteen persons and occurred in the
Parish Jail on the patent iron scatfold
erected there for such purposes. The
hanging was complete in all its de-
tails, the convict hanging from II :2s
p. m., till IL AZ p. H.. when DR.. j.
W. Sanders, the coroner pronounced
that life was extinct. Father Girault
who had been with the prisoner all the
morning had his body placed in the
coffin and followed them to the grave
in Potters field Rev. Simons of the
colored Congregational Church was
also present. Drs. Emmer and Young
were also present with the Coroner.
The prisoner was we'll composed and
did not seem to realize the awful fate
that awaited him, showing no ner-
vousness, nor fear.
Thus has the law been vindicated
and justice done and iberia goes on
record as a law abiding community,
which had confidence in its Courts
and officers to meet out proper punish
ment, even in this crime which is
usually punished by Judge Lynch.

SCHOOL QUESTION.

The adjustment or prorating OF the
school funds for the different wards
has been mooted. It is q notorious
iact that but few wards get the funds
that belong to them by virtue Of their
school population some wards get
a larger proportion than they are
entitled to at the expense OF others,
notably the town wards obtain great
er per cent of the school funds than
the country wards, to their disadvant-
age 1t is, or was, the right of every
member of the School Board to call
for a division of funds, for their
ward, 30 as to secure for each ward
its just proportion OF funds. If one
ward has not enough funds to carry
on it's schools, it should not be allow
ed to take from the others, but let
each ward have its own funds and
apply them to school matters Of it's
ward and not divert to other wards.
In other words Let every tub stand
on its ewn bottom. Thus the prac-
tice of taking money from the coun-
try wards for the town wards will
cease and each ward have charge of
it's own money and do it's own hust-
ling for its schools. This Sixth
ward, requiring more money for its
schools than any other of the Parish.
it is evident it cannot secure sufficient
funds to carry ON its work without
on the other wards,
therefore it is the correct thing to do
to vote the two mill tax that is so
to build and maintain
schools. This ward more than any
others requires larger fund. and il
is manitsstly unfair to ask the other
wards to tax themselves for our schools
Let us shoulder our own burdens and
by small tax of g. 90 per $1,000 for
ten years, give to our City and Ward
that which it so much needs schools
aud teachers.

PACKERS ATTACK
JURY'S LEGALITY
Beef Trust Sees Loophole in the
Secret Selection of Federal
Jurors.

Chicago, Sept. pa plea of abate-
ment was fled today by the packers in
dicted in the United States district
court on charge of conspiracy to
monopolize the meat industry. The
plea is not supported by affidavits. 1t
is signed by the defendants and their
attorneys. - = .sT,a' - :.--
It is said that the main question to
be raised, when the plea is finally tax
en- before a judge, will be concerning
the secrecy surrounding the drawing
of the grand jury. 1t is argued that a
grand jury under the constitutional
laws must be drawn in public This is
construed to mean that any person who
feels that he may be investigated by
the grand jury may be present and see
the names drawn from the box, and
know who the persons are. This is de-
clared to be the constitutional right of
every citizen and to have been so con-
templated by congress when the act
was passed.
It is charged in the plea that the date
Of the drawing was kept a profound Sc
cret, and the packers were unable to
learn who had been selected to sit on
their case, altho the government had
an opportunity to Investigate each man
whose name had been drawn. Z

FOUNDER OF soRosIs DEAD
Sophia Hoffman, the Helen Gould of the
Early Seventies.
New York American.


Mrs. Sophia Curtis Hoffman, 81 years
old, who has been called the Helen
Gould Of the early seventies a foun-
der of Sorosis and of the Chaplin Home
for the Aged at Sixtieth street and
Lexington avenue, died yesterday at
the home Of her daughter, Mrs. Kath-
arine Morse Of New Rochelle. Mrs.
Hoffman was the possessor of a fortune,
but she died comparatively poor. Her
only possession out Of once princely
property in real estate is little cot
tage at 45 West One Hundred and
Forty.fourth street, at which the flu
neral services will be held.
1t was Mrs. Hoffman's money that
trained the voice of Emma Abbott and
made it possible for the great singer to
study under the best masters in Europe.
The same liberal purse was always at
the disposal of DR.. Chaplin of the
Church Of the Divine Paternity for all
his charitable works.
Mrs. Hoffman was born in the village
Of Sheffield, Berkshire county, Mass.
She married George Hoffman when she
to New York, where he rapidly acquired
a fortune in the real estate business.
She lived in magnificent house at 500
Fifth avenue, and was considered one
of the leaders of the fashionable set.
In the panic of 1872 George Hoffman
lost most Of his fortune. He died three
years after of a broken spirit. leaving
his widow with two children, Mrs.
Morse and son, Curtis Hoffman, who
died at the age of 30 in BROOKLYN q
month ago. When Mrs. Morse married,
Mrs. Hoffman went to 1--we with her,
and has since lived in retirement.
