residence OF Mr.. James o. Stewart
and gave him a genuine surprise. the
occasion being the birthday of Mr..
Stewart. There was a cake presented
to Mr.. Stewart by the gathering. but
1t had no candles on it for the fact
Mr.. Stewart has always guarded with
great amount of zealousness the
number of years he has been on this
earth. In his address to the crowd,
he said that if James Whitcomb Riley
refuses to tell his age he had as much
right as the Indiana poet. The usual
games of lotto were omitted for the
evening, and dancing and refresh
ments took their place.

YOUNG WHAlEN KILLED,

Apparently thinking more of his
spiritual welfare than of his bodily
hurts, as his strength was slowly
ebbing as the result of fatal burns of
the face and hands, which he received
at 1890 Saturday morning. Henry w.
B. Whalen's piteous plea to be taken
first to the Church of the Holy Name
Of Mary, before being sent to the
TOurO lnfirmary, was granted, and he
received the last rites of the Catholic
faith. He died six hours later.
Whalen, who was only 10 years of
age, and employed as an apprentice
steel car repairer by the Southern
Pacific Railroad, came about his burns
IN a peculiar manner. He was inside
a large tank on fiat car in the rail-
road shop yards in Algiers, driving
rivets. There still was a small guam
tity of the oil in the tank, and the
gases, arising from it, exploded when
it became ignited by some sparks
caused by the friction of the hammer
striking against the rivets.
Whalen was blown out of the tank
by the explosion. His screames and
the explosion brought fellow-workers
to his rescue. Whalen's first thought
seemed to be of the church. He
seemed to realize the seriousness of
his condition, and begged to be first
taken to see Father Thomas j. Lar
kin. His request was granted, after
which he was hurried to Touro In
Urinary.
Young Whalen was a son of Emma
Landry and the late j. J. Whalen. Be-
sides his mother, he is survived by
two brothers. John ana Emile
and two sisters, Miss Annie
and Mrs. Frances De Rocha,
wife of Bernard P. De Rocha, a mem |
Der of the New Orleans police force. |
The funeral was held from his |
mothers home, in Sumner street, near
Diana, at $3.50 o'clock Sunday, inter
nent being made in the st. BarthoIo.

Dear Editor:
May | ask. through the medium of
your paper, what provision can be
made for carrying out the laws of the
State in reference to granting all pub
lie school children free ferriage while
attending the public schools? This
matter was fOrcibly brought to the
public attention by our late School Di-
rector, Mr.. Frank Henning, through
your paper. In behalf Of our poor
pupils refer this matter TO you with
the hope that some action will be
taken by our city officials, and which
seems strange that these officials
have so long overlooked.
