w. C. PERCY DEAD.

William Chaille Percy of West Fe
liciana parish died in Guatemala City
on the 14th of August, according to q
cable received at the old family home
In this parish. No particulars have vel
been received. Mr.. Percy has been a
travelling man in Latin-American coun.
tries for many years, spending most
OF his time in Mexico, but for the past
year he has been in the countries far
ther south. He is survived by his
wife, who resided in Natchitoches, and
one daughter. His mother, Mrs. Sallie
Percy, two brothers, Frank S. and
Edward NJ, and one sister, Miss
Eleanor Percy, are his closest rela-
tives, although the family connection
is large and prominent in social and
business circles in West Feliciana and
other parts of Louisiana.
Mr.. Percy was At years old, and a
man of remarkably bright mind and
versatile attainments, to which his
many years of foreign travel had con-
tributed. To his family, who had per-
force become accustomed to his long
absences, his death means that he has
gone farther away, whence no letters
come back to ease the aching heart.
They have our profound sympathy.

very low, Friday, but it is question
of endurance.
Rev. H. G. Roberts is holding meet
ing at Star Hill. He and his wife and
children are guests of Mr.. and Mrs.
Andrew Dreher. Mrs. Roberts is a
sister of Mr.. Dreher, being formerly
Miss Stella Dreher.
Mr.. Geo. NJ Lester writes from Ohio
requesting us to correct the statement
that he had gone away permanently.
He expects to return in the course of
few weeks, as business duties still
require his presence here. The error
arose from his telling friend that he
was going away and might come back
this winter" This, as it transpires,
was intended for joke, but Mr.. Lester
is not sure now Of its being one, as he
has to answer numerous inquiries on |
the subject.

ASYLUM IMPROVEMENTS.

From the Times-Picayune, we clip
the following important improvements
being made at the East Louisiana
Hospital for the Insane:
"The first building in Louisiana de
signed and equipped especially for the
confinement and care of the criminal
insane has just been completed, and a
second one, connected with the first by
pergola, is well under way. These
will provide for white and colored,
male and female, prisoners whom the
courts decide too dangerous to permit
at large.
Another new boon is modern
group Of four cold storage rooms, which
will add much to the food facilities.
"Abry Brothers of New Orleans have
begun the execution of contract for
the removal Of the white female pa
yilion and the colored male hospital
building, in order to clear the space
for the erection of Tilton memorial
building, in tribute to the memory of
Mrs Caroline w. Tilton, the latest
benefactor of the asylum, and large
reinforced concrete dormitory building
for the occupancy of the colored males.
"A contract will soon be let, from
the plans of Architects Favrot & Liv-
audais, for the erection of new power
plant in the right wing. Installed
therein will be new battery of boilers
and self-feeding stokers.
ga contract for a cottage for the
superintendent also will be awarded
shortly.
CAS- soon as all this work is finished
a second reinforced concrete building,
for the colored females, will be con-
structed. There will also be built
new one-story kitchen, with all modern
conveniences and appliances, such as
steam tables, food conveyors and 9th.
err improved systems. Yhe present
spacious and well-kept kitchen will be
rebuilt and utilized as a
bakery. The present power plant will
also be rebuilt and assigned as a GEN.
trail hospital for the treatment of acute
cases and as training school for
nurses. The training school will con-
tain lecture rooms and laboratories,
and will be equipped to more fully
meet the needs of this important de-
partment.
I'm the present central building will
be installed a reinforced concrete fire. |
proof vault in which to place the
records of the institution, which it is
vital to preserve and keep intact. The
office will be located |
adjacent to the vault, in the room now
occupied by the receiving parlor.
ut will require two years to carry
put all the details Of this comprehen-
sive plan, the fulfllment of which de-
Ponds upon the determination of the
special session of the legislature in
he duplication of the appropriation
bill of 1914.
Zone building of three floors is now
icing rearranged from individual rooms
o the dormitory system. When this
structure is finished and the other
changes carried out, including the two
for the criminal insane, the
Institution will easily show an increas-
I'd capacity of $50 inmates, thus MAX
ng possible population of about
1000, which is only equaled by few
similar institutions in the United
States.
in keeping with all these many i'm
'rovements and changes contemplated, !
