On Tuesday morning the people OF
Aleiers were shocked 10 hear of the
sudden death of one of our best-known
citizens. F. NJ Webert, who has been
associated here with us for many years
and who numbers his friends by the
hundreds, all of whom mourn his sud
den departure. Mr.. Webert was sick
only a very short time, it being less
than an hour from the time he first
complained of feeling i'll, when he was
cold in death. The funeral took place
on Wednesday afternoon at = o'clock,
from his late residence, corner OF Val
lette and Alix streets. lnterment was
in Metairie cemetery. The following
were the pallbearers: Fritz HUM, Ed
ward May, John Teutiburg, Ambrose
Steiner, Matt Reindel and Albert
Twickler
His funeral was largely attended,
followed by a large concourse OF
friends and relatives who paid their
last sad tribute to his memory. The
floral offerings were many and varied

giving out moisture and oxygen. They
absorb impure air, thus benefiting the
general health of man, as we'll draught
animals, who rest in the shade of the
trees. In many cases this prevents
sunstroke. The fierce glare of the sun
is harmful to the asphalt pavements
also, but if the pavement be protected
by shade trees, our roadways would be
as firm in summer as in winter.
Trees which have already been
planted by citizens of the Fifth Dis
trict should receive the best of care
and protection. Those citizens who
wish to plant trees should, if the street
on which they will plant be wide
one, secure those trees which do not
attain a very great height Those re-
siding on open streets should obtain

Mr. Webert was born June "a, 1912,
at Burghaun, Hesse, Germany. After
having attended the public school of
his birthplace from his seventh to his
fourteenth year, he successfully OBJ
tanned employment in Ruhrort on the
Rhine and Elberfield and Cassel and
Duisburg on the Rhine, until his TWEEN
tieth year. Being then of military age,
he entered the army, serving the legal
period of three years. After an hon

employment in Duisburg, remaining
there until 1868. During the latter
year he emigrated to the United States,
crossing the ocean on a sailing vessel,
and in due time having landed in New

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
PELICAN AVENUE DRAINAGE.

The Herald, 500 Verret ST.:
1t is certainly to be regretted that
the Sewerage and Water Board will
not pay some attention to the bad con-
dition of the drainage at the corner OF
Pelican avenue and Seguin street,
which has often been reported to the
department and, notwithstanding the
fact that Jos. w. LennoX, the member
of the board from our district, has
taken up the matter direct with the
board, there has been no relief granted
as yet.
This flooded condition has been 60
ing on since Capt. Hotard was first ap-
pointed a member of the board, and
there certainly has been a sufficient
time for the board to make some al
terations so as to give the necessary
relief. On Friday and Saturday last,
during our heavy rains, all the other
streets in Algiers were open to pedes-
trians excepting at this corner. which
is, perhaps, used more than any other
corner. for the fact it is the main
route to and from the ferry for people
living in a section beyond this point.
Very truly,
A. KICKER.

Fifth District. Many of the streets
run from east to west and as the sun
rises in the east and sets in the west,
the sun shines on these streets all day.
Our district is so thickly settled that
we have not as much of a chance to
get moist air as in a more thinly set
tied section. If trees were planted
along our sidewalks, We would have
the moisture and oxygen we need.
Trees benefit animals as well as
people. In the summer time animals
carrying heavy loads become exhaust
ed from the heat. If trees were plant
ed along our sidewalks, it would make
them much cooler, for both man and
beast.
For streets having no wires above
them, tall trees may be lanted, such
as sycamores and blackberry trees; for
streets having wires above them, low,
spreading trees should be planted, such
as legustrums. Small trees should be
boxed. The above mentioned do not
break up the sidewalks.
Many kinds of trees suited for side
walks can be purchased for one or two
dollars. Those that need boxing nat
urally cost more, because the boxing
costs something like $1.50.
Trees not only give shade, oxygen
and moisture, but are also very beauti-

quite a well-paying place. By strict
attention to business, together with a
careful and thrifty disposition, he soon
had his capital increased a great deal.
AS his business steadily increased he
found his place too small TO satisfy
his increasing trade. He then built
the handsome store and residence cor
ner Vallette and Alix streets, and fit
ted it up in modern manner. Starting
with but little capital, he amassed
quite a large supply Of the worlds
goods, and attributed his success to
concentration in effort and attention

teristics were those of a love of truth.

ATHLETIC CLUB
HELD ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING
MONDAY NIGHT.
Fifty-six of the 100 Members Attend,
Which Is An Elegant Showing
For Begnning-Site to Be Decid-
ed On Friday Night.

On Monday night at 429 Patterson
street the general meeting of all the
stockholders of the Alhambra Athletic
Club held very enthusiastic meeting
for the purpose of transacting some
unfinished business, signing the char
ter of the institution and selecting a
site for the location of the new club
house, which is to be built shortly.
The meeting was called to order
about 8 o'clock with all the officers and
the entire board of directors present,
and many other members, making the
attendance fifty-s'x, all of whom signed
the charter and paid their first in
stallment on their stock. For a few
minutes the newly -elected financial
secretary, Lee Dunn, resembled a re-
ceiving teller in busy bank, with the
piles of greenbacks around him. Ev-
eryone seemed anxious to get in their
money so that the first payment could
be made on the location. Mr.. Lee
Dunn's election as financial secretary
was made unanimous by the club and
in accepting the position Mr.. Dunn
stated he would give the club as good
service as he has in him.
Many propositions were brought be-
fore the organization for the location
of site. These propositions included
both improved and unimproved pro-
perty located in different parts of our
district. After very thorough dis
cussion regarding the location of the
club motion was made and carried
