DEATH FROM PIN.

1t is with regret that we chronicle
the sad death of the three-year.o,d
child OF Mr.. and Mrs. John Gerrets of
loz' mayer street. The little one was
taken i'll some time ago with what was
thought to be appendicitis and while q
positive diagnosis was not made Il
was very evident that an operation
was Imperative. To the great surprise
or the physicians it was discovered
that the little one had at some previous
time swallowed a pin which had lodged
in the bowels in the region of the an.
pendix.
At the Presbyterian Hospital the
available science of the medical pro-
fession could not save the little one
as the process of destruction had al.
ready gone too far. There was abso-
lutely no evidence of the little one bav.
ing swallowed pin. The funeral took
place Monday at p. m, interment be-
ng in the Bartholomew cemetery.

NEW FURNITURE STORE

When !. Weiner was congratulated
few days ago as being one OF our
new business men on this side OF the
river he was very much surprised that
the well-wisher was not aware of the
Ifact that he has already been doing
business ia the Fifth district for the
past twenty years and is intimately &C
quainted with many Of our residents
here. Truly is this a fact, for the
wagon of |. Weiner upon our streets
Headed to its capacity with furniture
and carpets is not an uncommon sight.
| l.. Weiner certainly is not stranger
to the Algiers people and the opening
of his new place of business at l37 and
1879 DelarOnde street is for the purpose
mainly of accommodating his already
large Algiers trade and of giving them
a better opportunity of selecting from
a larger variety than he was able to
show them before.
Mr.. Weiner's principal success in the
beginning over here was the sale OF
dependable merchandise: il is the old
saying of the survival of the fttest."
Mr. Weiner from the beginning in MAX
ing his sales to his trade here sold
only such goods as would allow him
to come back in a few years and sell
another bill to the same party. with
the assurance that equal satisfaction
would obtain as in the first transac-
ton.
Besides the sale of his furniture and
wares on the installment plan, or what
Is known as the small weekly-payment
plan, Mr. Weiner also wants it distinct
~ understood that he is ready to ex-
tend TO his customers in Algeirs a
credit of thirty, sixty or ninety DAYS.
to all those who buy goods on what is
known as commercial terms. In other
words. if piece of goods is sold for
cash at $500 and the installment price
for the same goods is $1,000. Mr.. Vein
er wants it understood that he will
give terms of from thirty to ninety
days upon the cash price to all good
customers and not upon the install
ment price. In other words. parties
with established credit may purchase
goods from Mr. Weiner at th cash
prices on terms of from thirty > nine
~ days.

YOUTH REsENTs TORMENT.

On Tuesday afternoon Teche street
near the parish line was the scene of
much excitement. Negroes were seen
10 scatter in every direction and as all
xmas OF stories were told of the affair
and few eye witnesses could be found
II Is difficult to state just what did
happen.
According to Sam Johnson, 1904
Ieche street, and Shepherd Smith 900
newton street, a white boy by the
name of Martin jumped from a buggy
with a pistol in his hand and started IN
nre at some boys on the street II Is
claimed by the witnesses that the Mar.
TIN boy was throwing stones at some
negroes who returned the salute. which
resulted in the Martin boy opening fire
on them.
Another story and the more proba.
ole' Is that a gang of boys were tor.
menting young Martin on account of
a deformity of his face, the little fellow
always having his face covered with q
white handkerchief. No doubt this
torment has been going on for some
time and the childs patience being ey.
hausted, he jumped from his buggy
and displayed a pistol which was
claimed by onlookers, discharged. Two
iadles were in the buggy with the lad
when the trouble occurred. The boy
seems to be about II to IA years of age
