and everything she loaned him would
be repaid . hundredfold. After max
ing several loans she concluded that
the security was too sbadowy. and she
refused to loosen up Any more. Pei
giared at her' with his wicked red
eyes and told her that she. was read
ing her own death warrant.
For many houfs after this Pel's

glare streamed from the chinks in

that young man Of the neighborhood
confessed 10 curiosity as his chief
weakness. and his curiosity overcame
his fear to such an extent that he got
a ladder. and quietly placed 1t against
Pel's boarded window; then he
climbed up and had good view, over
the top of the boards. Of the interior
OF the house.
The neighbors waited at q distance,
marveling at the boldness Of the young
man. and praying that he might return
alive. He did. He came back to
them and told them. in . sobbing
whisper, that he had seen more than
he expected to see. Pei was stoking
his furnace furiously and anon throw
ing strange fuel into it. The young
man was sure that this fuel was frag-
ments of human body. Moreover.
there were prints OF hands on the
wall, and these prints looked as
though they might be in blood.
Nothing was done until morning,
and then the officers went to the
house. Pels fre had gone out, and
there was q heap Of white ashes in
the furnace. But there was plenty of
evidence that a great crime had been
committed. and that Elise Boehmer
had been destroyed. Pei was taken
to Jail. where he told one lie after
another, trying to explain the wom-
ans disappearance. Then there ap-
peared at the police station a woman
who said that she had called at Pel's
house to see Elise Boehmer, and had
found her alone and in convulsions.
Elise evidently was dying, and the
woman hurried away, and kept what
she had seen to herself, 80 great was
her fear Of the matchmaker. II was
then suspected that Pei had poisoned
Elise, and, after her death. dfsmem-
bered the body and burned It. This
proved to be the case. and the enorm-
ity Of the crime has given the red.
eyed matchmaker q conspicuous place
in the chronicle Of bloody deeds.
While France was simmering with
excitement over this grotesque crime,
further revelations increased that ex.
citement. Somebody remembered that
various women who had been so un-
fortunate as 20 become associated
with Pei hid died or disappeared sud
denly and mysteriously; and It was
recalled that Pei often had boasted Of
the discovery Of q poison which left
no traces. His first wife had died
some years before, and the doctor had

LABOR UNIONS, ATTENTION.

Speaking Of the saloon ~ the enemy
Of organised labor. Major Dan Morgan
Smith (once an attorney for the hQuor
interests) points out that when =
union bartender il driven out Of his
job by prohibition 'it prevents that
bartender from selling liquor that will,
in the course Of . year, drive over
thirty other union men out Of their
jobs"
I'm this connection" continues Ma
jor Smith, Il would call the attention
of labor union to the fact that It IL .
cardinal rule Of unionfsm that union
workman shall not handle, buy or sell
nonunion goods. Who ever heard Of
a union bartender looking for union
label on = whisky bottle? Who ever
heard of . union bartender throwing
. case Of beer into the alley because
II was made by nonunion labor? II
they did this they would have to throw
the most of 1t in the alley. A large
percentage Of the breweries through
out the whole United States are not
unionized. The union bartender sells
nonunion whisky, sells nonunion beer.
he helps the downfall Of union broth
er and refuses to protect the wives
and children of his fellow union men.
What kind of union man IL he. any
how? The mere labelling man >
union man doesn't make him one, and
he cannot be one In truth and in his
heart, II he handles nonunion goods;
If he ruins union men and brings sor.
row into union homes"

Rslstives' of DR.. Andrew Woods
Smyth, at one time house surgeon OF
the Charity Hospital at New Orleans
and director of the United mint, re-
ceived word Monday 81 his death at
his home near Londonderry, Ireland.
DIR. Smyth, who was one of the most
eminent medical men of the last half
century, left New Orleans September
10, 1894, to spend the remainder OF his
life at his birthplace. Although he had
not teen in the best of health for the
last few years, the news of his death
was q great shock to his relatives and
friends.
DR.. Smyth was born February 10,
1888, and came to this country as
young man, settling in New Orleans.
He was married to Miss Nathalie Bou-
ligny OF New Orleans, youngest child
of the late Gustave Bouligny, who
preceded him to the grave three years
ago. OF the union daughter was born
Miss Arthemise Smyth, now Mrs. Hay
who was selected as the typical Creole
in the charming novel "Barbette," by
Mrs. Ruth McEnery Stuart.
From 1852 to 1877 DR.. Smyth was
member of the Louisiana State Boarc
of Health. As house surgeon at che
Charity Hospital he enjoyed the dis
tincion of serving under IL governors
q record that has not been equaile(
by any of his successors. At the time
of his departure from this importan
position no man in the State was helt
in higher esteem.
DIR. Smyth's chief contributions t.
medical science were the successful
litigation of the innominate artery il
q case of subclavian aneurism, the ex
tirpation of q floating kidney, the re
duction of q dislocation of u hip join
after nearly nine months of displace
ment, and articles on the collatera
circulation In sneurism and on the in
depreciation of the structure and func
tons of the kidneys.

the following items:
Having been shut down for some
time past for the purpose of making
important improvements, the big mill

tive operations and q large force OF
men are now steadily employed.
Fred Parham, of Nstchez, has re.
ceived notification OF his appointment
to West Point. The appointment comes
through Senator John Sharp Williams.
He expects to leave in March. Mr..
Parham graduated from the Vidalia
High School last year with high
honors.
Ward eight, of Franklin parish, La,
is preparing to issue bonds in the
amount of $4,000 for the purpose of
erecting a modern school building at
Ogden. A committee has been ap-
pointed by the police jury of the par
ish to select plans and site for the
location of the building. The COM
mittee will also assist in supervising
construction.
Whether or not the railway situa
ton and the general talk about strikes
suggested it as being an suspicious
time to make demands, or just be-
cause they did not feel inclined to
work, is not known, but Thursday,
roustabouts of the local packets pre-.
sented formal demands. For the up.
per river trade they asked 900 and
20 hill men and for the lower river
trade, $50 and IS Hill men. Their de.
mands were not granted and the strike
was called. But outgoing packets
were loaded with laborers and de-
parted on time.

This amendment would improve the
financial condition of the State, and
was in our opinion the most ad-
vanced as we'll a. the most important
proposition recommended to the
General Assembly by Governor Pleas
ant. We hope that our readers Will
read it carefully and give 1t the stamp
of their approval.
Amendment No. Is, give the Levee
Board.of the Parish Of Orleans author
ity to build levees along the shore OF
of Lake Pontchartrain, and the canal
and bayous leading into it. 1t Is for
the greater protection of the city from
floods caused by storms and should
meet with the approval of all voters.
Amendment No. IA, requires all
railroads or other corporations doing
business in the State of Louisiana to
maintain a general Office in the State
for the transaction of business. we
can see no reason why the people
should not ratify this amendment.
Amendment No. Is, authorizes
parishes, wards and municipalities to
vote taxes in aid of parish fairs. We
earnestly hope that this amendment
will be adopted, there can be no
doubt OF the great advantages to be
derived from good parish fairs and
about the only way they can be prop
erly maintained is by q small tax for
the purpose.
Amendment No. Is. This affects
the City of New Orleans only and
gives the judges of the Civil District
Court the. custody of what is known
as the judicial Expense Fund. We
have no interest in the matter and as
the City..wants it, there can be no good
reason we should make any objections,
we therefore hope that the amend
ment will be ratified.
Amendment No. II. This exempts
from taxation, vessels of all kinds en-
gagged in Ocean Going Traffic. The
adoption of this amendment will
greatly help in building up the ship
ping business of the port Of New Or
leans and would prove of great benefit
to the people of the State, we there
fore hope that the voters will give 1t
their approval.
Amendment No. IS, simply makes
it lawful for the railroads to issue free
transportation to persons engaged In
the agricultural extension work, and
for the officers to ride on free trans
portation. A good amendment as it
would reduce the cost of this work to
the State and her institutions and en-
ables the agricultural department to
do far more extension work than il
being done at present. We hope that
every voter will give it his approval
