PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 5.-Thc funeral of

morning. The same great secrecy that
surrounded the making OF arrange
ments for the funeral was maintained
until the body OF the political leader

in south Laurel hin cemetery. no
information was forthcoming whether
there were any religious services at
the house or at the cemetery. News

In announcing it's decision to ter

In view OF recent hearings held by

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 5.-tBy the
Associated -Press. THE powers acceded
in part today to China's request that
foreign restrictions on her tariff sys-
tenn be removed and that steps be
taken toward Withdrawing foreign
troops from her soil. Under an agree
ment adopted in the Far Eastern COM
mittee of the arms conference an in

other resolution adopted foreign am
bassadors at Pekin will confer with
Chinese officials whenever China SO
requests relative to execution of the
declared purpose of the powers to with
draw in cases where conditions make
1t practicable.
, Regarding the troop declaration the
Chinese delegations did not express
themselves at length but they voiced
disappointment that the tariff settle-
ment had not fixed q definite date on
which foreign supervision OF the
Chinese customs would b withdrawn
altogether. Tho meetiney OF the COM
was devoted To- considerations Of the
tartfe and foralgn tfoop proposals. the
Chinese finding no opportunity to press
their request that the twenty one de-
mAnds controversy be brought into
the conference for review as 4 supple

cial subcommittee headed by Senator
Underwood. recommended adoption OF a
declaration advising China to take i'm
mediate and effective steps" to reduce
her military forces. Maintenance of
excessive land armament. the subcom-
mittee held had seriously impaired
Chinese domestic economy and had be-
come difficult barrier to the nations
restoration to financial stability. The
suggestion was referred to a draft
committee for revision but indications
tonight seemed to point to Its lower
adoption.
In presenting tho tariff revision plan
under which china Immediately would
have an effective 5 per cent tariff rate
instead of the virtual 2 L. per cent In

the new arrangement not only would
greatly benefit China but would be

Avery.
Another old building, but stoutly
constructed one, is that at the corner
north Of the Tessier place, now the
property Of the Capdeville estate. 1t
has been said that at the time of the
great confagration about 1912, that
was the only building to escape Of all
property between the river and Third
and North and Laurel Streets.
| At the time of the great fire a store
building owned by one Michel, who
was reputed to have been one of Laf-
ayette's pirates, stood on the site
where the electric light company has
i its offices. The building was Destroy
ed, and next morning among the
blackened cinders and broken brick,
a barrel Of which the hoops had been
burned was found to have been filled
with Spanish silver dollars, or as then
known, "pieces Of eight" which was
accepted by neighbors as good and
sufficient proof that Michel had in
dulged in the exciting game of piracy
at some period Of his career. Be that
as it may, he proved a good patriotic
citizen after his reformation. He had
fought with Lafitte at the battle of
Orleans, in which the pirates are
lcredited with great courage as we'll

was just afte the battle he appeared

good old age, after years of useful
ness, leaving no kindred to succeed
him.
The first financial building estab-
lished in Baton Rouge was the Bank
of Louisiana, located in the building
at or near the corner of Lafayette
and Convention Streets. In fact the
building was constructed to house the
Bank. The men who managed the
affairs of the institution have long
since passed to their reward, but the
bank building stands as firm today as
when first occupied, and the names Of
the directors of the institution are
yet to be heard in our city. Messrs.
Shoppers, Bonnecaze, Lallande, and
Kleinpeter were they who conducted
the affairs of the institution for many
years, and until latter corporation
was organized by citizens, headed by
John B. Kleinpeter and William S.

bilities Of the original institution.

HISTORY OF MEN !
and LANDMARKS
that HAVE GONE

Following the men who built and
occupied them the old houses con.
nected with the early history of Baton
Rouge, with few exceptions, are NO
more In evidence, and these few are
oelng followed rapidly by more
modern structures. On Lafayette st.
alone are to be found buildings which
antedated all now standing and among
these is what was once the Tessier
residence, now known as the Flats
and If the walls of the old house could
speak, what tales they could tell OF
the happy and care-free lives Of the
gallant men and lovely women who
occupied the place; of the grand balls
and parties, of the sumptuous feasts
Of courtships, of marriages, of deaths
In the parlors of the ancient resi-
dence many notable weddings were
so|emnized and wedding feasts spread.
Whether Judge Tessier was married,
there is not known, but it is known
that his daughters were, one to an
army officer, a Major Van Bocklin,
and the second to the late Major T.
]. Bird. These weddings were Of the
grandest in all this section, attended
by the elite Of many parishes.
Judge Tessier was noted for ele-
gantly arranged and sumptuous din
nings, and was never happier than
when his table was surrounded by in
innate friends, such as Judge Morgan,
DR.. French, Judge Avery and others,
and such epicurian feasts were enjoy,
cd as frequently as possible, but so as
not to interfere with like social affairs
At the homes of his most intimate as
sociates, who were as hospitable and
Is socially inclined as the old Judge,
and that was in fullest measure.

ARTIFICIAL AUNTS

There are many women with the
mother heart, and no little ones to
'cuddle. On the other hand there are
burdened mothers who have more than
they can manage and to whom it
would be blessing if some one would
take care of the children at times
while they caught up with their work,
Or rested, or found a little change or
recreation. Mothers, if they are to
keep alive and alert and up-to-date,
must mingle with the world, and 20
out with Husband, and be fresh and
|peppered-up, else, as the years go by,
Husband will notice they are old
|fogies and not like the women he
meets elsewhere, and children will ex-
|cuse Mother for her behind -the-times-
ness, and be a little ashamed of her,
Ito boot. Mothers are just people and
need to live much like other people.
Their farfamed sacrifices do make
them sweet, but back-woodsy.
Behold then the beauty of the Aunt.
If she is real aunt, all the better.
There are no more beloved people any,
where than the aunts of our child
hood. Riley sings one in "Out to Old
Aunt Mary's." And speaking of
father once he makes his small hero
say, my Dads list so kind. He's not
like Dad at all, but more like an
Uncle" The same rating applies to
mothers and aunts, when mothers get
tagged with many and constant cares,
while aunts are fresh and interested.
But not everybody has real aunt
at his disposal, where he can make
good, practical use Of her. The best
substitute is an artificial aunt. They
have them in many places,-some kind
