Game Called Off.

The eagerly anticipated game be-
tween the local Pelicans and the
Thibodaux team, which was adver-
tised to be played at Thibodaux last
Sunday, was called off at the
eleventh hour owing to the fact that
several Of the Thibodaux players had
left for Galveston the day before on
the Southern Pacific excursion. a
large crowd of fans from this city
and points along Bayou Lafourche
had expected to accompany the Pei
leans to Thibodaux, and much dlsap-
pointment was caused by the can
ceiling of the contest.
There will be nothing doing on the
local diamond tomorrow, but It is
hoped a game will be arranged for
the following Sunday.

ago, and the second a NR later
When she left for canadsy couple
of months ago, however, was
seemingly as well as she HSb been
TAT any time In recent years, @the
announcement of her demiseNI ne
as a profound shock to the G2g
friends of the family in this c@a
munity.
The remains of the lamented lady
were conveyed to New Orleans for
interment, arriving there at Il
O'Clock Thursday morning via the
Illinois Central Railroad. The funer-
al was held from the union depot,
burial being made in GENTLY Gene
terry. The obsequies were private,
and only the immediate relatives and
a few very intimate friends were in
attendance.
Mrs. Lebermuth, whose maiden
name was Miss Julia K1opman, had
been married twice, her first hus-
band having been Marx Israel, a
leading merchant of this city many
years ago, who died in the early 70s.
Subsequently she was married to
Jacob Lebermuth, a prominent sugar
survives her, together with three
daughters, Mrs. S. Katz,s Mrs. Harold
d. Newman and Miss Stella Israel,
of New Orleans, and one son, Clark
Lebermuth. The daughters are the
issue Of Mrs. Lebermuth's first
marriage. Clark Lebermuth accom-
panied his mother to Orillia early in
the summer, and Mr.. Lebermuth join
ed them there two weeks ago. A
relative, Miss Essie Stern, who has
made her home with the Lebermuths
for some years, was also at the
bedside when the final summons
came.
Generous, kindly, sympathetic, a
woman of unusual intellectual attain
ments and charming personality, Mrs.
Lehermuth was respected and adj
mired by all who knew her, and those
who knew her best loved her most.
Her demise has carried lasting sor-
row to the hearts of her legion Of
friends and acquaintance and the
measure If sympathy that goes out
to tie bereaved fsm ny in their hour
of grief is Universal and sincere.
May her beautiful soul rest in
eternal peace.
