REVIVlNG OLD INTERESTS.

Triune Company No. II, Uniform
Rank Knights of Pythias, has begun
to hold weekly meetings at Pythian
Hall in order that the old interest may
be revided and that a good member
ship may be had TO go to Baton Rouge
to try and bring back the trophy
which is offered by the Grand Lodge
of X. of p. for the best drilled Pythian
company in the state. Arrangements
have been made among the members
that after the regular drill the usual
social features, which were customary
only occasionally, will take place ev-
cry Saturday night. This will be in
the form of substantial refreshments
and general jollification. The mem
bers OF the company are earnestly re-
quested to be present.

"a BLACKSMITH. ORATOR.

1t has been customary in McDonogh
No. 4 night school, that students work
ing in mechanical departments give
ten minutes of their time explaining
something in regard to their work.
So, on Wednesday, April 5, Henry
Schultz, one of the valuable employees
of the Southern Pacific, who is black
smith, gave an interesting talk on steel
and its nature. The professors as
we'll as the students were so interest
ed in his talk that they overlooked the
time and he spoke for nearly an hour.
Many questions were asked him in re-
gard to his work and he answered
them in most able manner.
Mr.. Schultz made quite an impress
sion on the persons present when he
told them about the blacksmith that
King Solomon had put at the head of
his table, considering him the master
of all trades.
We hope that on the closing night
of the present session that Professor
Perrin calls Mr.. Schultz to give one
of his most popular masterpieces.
The blacksmiths and helpers of the
S. p. are proud of him for the able
manner in which he handled the sub
ject.

FERDINAND STREUBY.

Last Wednesday, Fred Streuby, a
well-known resident of the Lower
Coast, died suddenly.
Deceased was born in Berlin, Ger
many, seventy years ago. He receiv-
ed his education there, following the
occupation of surveyor and engineer.
He came to this country forty-five
years ago, and settled in Cincinnati,
and was one of the first to answer the
call of Abraham Lincoln, enlisting and
serving as engineer most honorably.
After the war he made this city his
home, devoting his energies to the
building of cotton seed oil machines
He worked for a long time at the Ma.
ginnis Oil Mills, erecting later on the
Gretna Oil Mill, of which he was the
superintendent for seven years.
He was the one who devised the
plans for the large transports of the
Southern Pacific Railroad to provide
them with a safe pier on either side
of the river, later on giving a helping
hand to almost every oil mill in course
of construction all throughout the
South.
For twelve years he went to and
fro to Vicksburg, Miss, where he

erected the oil mill for Lever Bros,
and was called TO England, where he
built a large plant at Port Sunlight.
In the republic of Mexico he laid the
foundation of many a useful factory,
and. loving his ayocation, was never
idle for a day. Years ago he had by
the dint of his energy and economy
saved a snug little sum for a rainy
day, and. believing in the future rise

land on the Lower Coast, near the
Naval Station, where for many years
he led a retired life, having parceled

land known as Streubyville.
But it was but for the brief period
of few years that he could enjoy the
comfort of a quiet existence. Robust

THE CHURCHES MAY NOT BE
AFFECTED.
The Drinking Cup Regulation Is Still
Matter of Doubt.

Whether or not the churches will be
included among the public buildings
coming under the new sanitary code
of the State Board of Health with re-
gard to the individual drinking cups,
is a matter yet to be determined. 1t
is probable, however, that the regula-
tion is not intended to compel minis
tiers of the church to provide their
communicates with individual drink
ing cups. Some of the churches where
chalices or sups are used at the COM
munion services, it is understood, have
been providing their communicates
with individual cups. Whether or not
this is necessary, however, will pro-
baby not be known officially until the
arrival of DR.. Oscar Bowling, presi-
dent of the State Board of Health,
which will be some time yet.

The mission for men which was con-
Quoted last week at the Church of the
Holy Name of Mary was brought to a

Ivan preached a strong sermon, and
at the conclusion of the services the
papal benediction was given.
The solemn services of Holy Week

o'clock, when the Tenebrae was sung.
This morning at o'clock there was a

On Saturday morning at o'clock the

nent in the Battle of Shiloh.
Boys brought flowers as offerings to
the memory of our dear departed Con-
federates, and the following boys
placed ten bouquets at the Confeder-
ate Monument and the Soldiers Home

expects to finish in the specified time.
The brewery plant has been added to
consistently for the past several years,
almost each year witnessing new ad-
dition of some sort, and from the
amount of business done, bids fair to
continue so. Last year Offices were
arranged for in the old building, and
new stables erected. and the previous
year a new bottling plant addition was
erected, while the bottling plant pro-
per was erected the preceding year.

SERVICE NOT CURTAILED.

Our three regular mail carriers, as
no doubt has already been noticed,
have been substituted during the past
few days by three green men from the
city office. This was done for the fact
that Alec Botsay and Nick Merx are
both on the sick list, while Postman
Smith is taking his regular vacation.
So far there has been no cause for
complaint in having the mail deliv-
cred, although the men are not ac-
quainted with the streets, numbers,
and names, they have gotten out the
mail in an incredibly short time and
they deserve every assistance that can
be given them by us over here.
