MRS. MAVERICKS MOTHER
Died in Poverty in France-Funeral
Expenses Paid by Sympathizers.

New York, April I2.-News reached
New York today that the Baroness de
Roques, mother of Mrs. Florence May
brick, had died in Paris "a few days ago
in utter poverty. Her funeral expenses
were paid by sympathizers, upon whom
the baroness had no direct claims OF
blood
The discovery of the pitiful condition
in which the baroness had lived for the
last few years aroused intense interest
in the American colony of Paris for the
reason that it was generally understood
that Mrs. Maybrick had made good
deal of money since her release from
the English prison, after having served
many years of a life sentence for her
conviction of having poisoned her hus-
band, John Maybrick, Liverpool cot
ton merchant.
The Baroness de Roques was the
widow of Vim. G. Chandler, a Mobile
banker. She married the Baron de
Roques after her daughters marriage to
Maybrick.
Several years ago she laid claim to
some Virginia lands which she had
transferred to lawyers after her daugh-
ters indictment for murder She said
that the transfer was made under du-
ress. The lands, then said to be valued
at $4,000, wee turned over to her. II
is not known what became of the prop
erty.
The Baroness de Roques was the
daughter of Darius Holbrook, a New

TAKING THE CENSUS
Be Frank and Assist the Enumerators.
Accuracy Imperative.

The taking of the census will begin
tomorrow, Friday, throughout the Unit
ed States. It is ten years since Shreve-
port had its census taken, and it was
not accurate. However, it is now too
late to indulge in criticism of the
past. We are now dealing with the flu
ture. What is wanted now is accuracy,
a full and complete census. A thorough
census is not possible unless the pep
pie cooperate with the enumerators.
The questions asked by the enumerat-
ors are such as are directed by authority
of law and the answers are recorded III
the book of each enumerator.
No person should evade any of the
questions asked by the enumerators,
whose business is to obtain all the in
formation requisite to the obtaining of a
full and complete and thorough census.
The schedule of questions has been
so framed as to avoid all impertinent or
irrelevant queries; therefore, give the
enumerator all the information he will
seek. Be frank with the enumerators
and help in expediting the work whose
importance can not be minimized

perintendent Harris says:
There is no nobler way in which a
State can set forth its annals than in
memorializing its great dead. Louisiana,

ores of romantic past, would engrave
the deeds of her sons and daughters,
not alone on stone and marble, but in
the hearts of men"

the Confederacy and the Louisiana His
torical Society that the school children

AS AN INDUCEMENT
A Ten Thousand Dollar. Residence for
Removal from Natchitoches to Alex
andria.

(. A New Orleans States special dated
Alexandria, April I3, says the removal
of the domicile of Bishop Van de Ven
from Natchitoches to Alexandria was
discussed at meeting held there Tues
day at thesresidence of Father Menard.
A committee was appointed to raise
a subscription of $4,000 for residence
to be offered the bishop. At the meet
ing $3Ioo was subscribed
Mayor Turregano was made chair
man and G. P. Wilmington secretary.
L. A. Turregano, chairman; ]. N. Kra-
mer, ]. A. Oshee, T. F. Murphy, and 6.
P. Wilmington were appointed COM
mittee to solicit subscriptions.
Bishop Van de Ven was present at
teh meeting. He said he felt much fiat
tered, but could not say what was pos
sible to be done. Theeconsent of Arch
bishop Blenk and other bishops of the
archdiocese and of the Vatican will be
necessary for the removal of the epis-
copal residence.
1t was pointed out that Alexandria is
more central and has better railroad IA
cilities, and that from this point the
bishop would be in a better position to
direct the work of his jurisdiction.
1t is presumed that Natchitoches will
strenuously oppose the removal.
