Mr.. Halter had not been strong for

his beautiful home in Covington, OF
which he was very fond, taking
drives occasionally to enjoy an out
ing. Mr.. Halter was well known in
New Orleans, where he was for many
years engaged in business, and the
Picayune, in announcing his death,
gives the following sketch of his life:
Henry Halter. one of the most
prominent manufacturers and one OF
the leading business men of the past
generation in this city, died at his
home in Covington Wednesday. The
remains were brought to the city
last evening and the funeral will be
held to-day.
s'Mr. Halter retired from business
and built himself a handsome home
in Covington nine years ago. He
| came to this city from Germany
where he was born seventy-six years
| ago, at the age of 16. He and his
| brother, Paul, now dead, started il
the tinsmith business and for many
years had a shop and store on Cam
street, and later established a fac
tory on Magazine street, where thu
postoffice is now being erected. Latel
they built large factory at Orang'
| and Constance street. The business
grew to large proportions, tn,
brothers being among the most pro
gressive business men in the city ant
| always active in measures that the.
thought would develop trade an,
build up the city.
when the National Enamelin,
and Stamping Company started &C
lively here that company bought GU
the Halter plant, which was a BIZ
competitor, and combined the bust
ness with their Southern pant.
Paul Halter took more interes
il public affairs than Henry, bu
| neither brother aspired to any publ
position, and devoted their time t
their business and their families.

WILL MEET WEDNESDAY NEXT.
Organization of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
Will be Finally Effected.


Public sentiment has been so
strongly against the cruel treatment
that is received by some animals,
that it has been decided to perfect
the organization of the Society for
the prevention of cruelty to animals.
The organization of this society was
started over year ago and the move
ment met with general approval, but
it seems that the society never went
into active operation and no work
looking to the relief of tortured and
suffering animals was ever taken up.
It is now proposed to carry this
work out, and for this purpose the
announcement is made that meet
ing will be held at the M. C. B. Lii
brary rooms Wednesday afternoon
a. 4 o'clock.
