STORY OF NEW ORLEANS
JEWISH ORPHANS
HOME.

(Conhnued)
In 1878, the city of New Or
leans was visited by a severe
yellow fever epidemic. 1t also
invaded the Home, where it
caused the death of two chill
dren, out of 35 attacked; a
great misfortune befell it when
Mrs. Schoenberg, the wife of the
Superintendent, also succumbed.
At the meeting of the Board
of Officers, held October 9th,
resolutions of deep grief on the
death of Mrs. Schoenberg were
offered and adopted.
The Twenty-fourth Anniver-
sary of the Home was celebrated
on the 18th of January, 1879,
Rev. l. L. Leucht delivering the
prayer.
At the board meeting, held
February End, Miss Clara Lord,
of Canton, Miss, was elected
governess and teacher, and at
the meeting of February 10th,
Mr.. L. Schoenberg having re-
signed, Mr.. and Mrs. Bunzel, of
Little Rock, Ark, were, re-
spectively, elected Superinten-
dent and Matron.
Mrs. A. Lehman resigned as a
member of the Board Of Honor
airy Matrons, and Mrs. A. Fore
heimer was appointed in her
place.
The twenty-fourth annual
meeting was held March 10th,
1879.
The president, Mr.. Joseph ST.
mon, referring to the past year,
says:
Owing to the epidemic, our
expenses have increased, and the
Home has received large ac-
cession of inmates.
There are now in the Home

Aberdeen, s. D.. March Cupid APP
parently made a sad mistake when he
brought about the marriage of Geo.
Tyler and his sweetheart less than two
weeks ago. Before they had given
their matrimonial venture a fair triai
they, by their actions, declared it a
failure, and when it was supposed the
pleasures incidental to their new state
would at least charm them with the
novelty, the bride secured some car
bolic acid and declared she would COM
nit suicide. She did not get a chance
to carry her threat into execution, for
friends took the poison away and made
her promise not to make any such at
tempt.
Scarcely had the excitement died
away in the circles frequented by this
dose of s~trychnine. Married life is not
what it is cracked up to be- he said,
and then swallowed a dose of the
poison. He took enough to kill three
men, and the overdose saved him.
The sickness that followed made it
an easy matter for him TO promise not
TO repeat the experiment, and nov that
both bride and groom arc again on an
ever basis their friends hope hat they
Will try n make the best of q bad

cause of the trouble, but the fact that

other chance TO make good by repairing
the damage now charged up against
him.

BIG DRAINAGE DITCH
CONTRACT AWARDED

Vermill!on, S. D., March AFTER a con-
s.deration of over two years, in which II
law suits took place, the joint boards of
county commissioners from Clay and
Yankton counties let a contract for the

penditure of 100000, including the dam
ages.
The expense of the curse viii be borne
by adjoining property owners and VIII not
come on the counties. The date for the
completion of the excavation IS April /,
1909, and two dredges will be put to work
in order 10 finish the job by that time.

value, in the way of a small bible
which belonged to JAS. Bell who was
