A VALUABLE WORK.
We are in receipt of the "Advance
'Sheets" of the great work, entitle(
"Riparian Lands of the Mississipp
River, Past, Present, Prospective.'
This stupendous work is in the hands
of Mr. Frank H. Tompkins, a rela
tive of our young friend, Mr. F. 11
Schneider, and we are glad to sal
that he is making excellent headway.
These "Advance Sheets" are part of
the comprehensive work which is
being prepared for general and
gratuitous circulation in commercial
circles over the entire Union, on be
half of, and withl the complimnents of,
the people who live either in, or on
the margin of, the alluvial districts
of the Mississippi River. There are
four excellent articles by Judge
3Blanchard. of the Louisiana Su
preme Court; Gea. T'r. C. Catchings,
ex M. C.; 0ol. John A. Ockerson,
member of the Mississiplpi River
Commission, and Major. St. L. Cop
pee, assistant United States En
gineer. Sublsequent papers will be
Iuhlished from other able engineers
and representative men. T'he lii
isbed hook, which will be nandsome
ly bound, will contain fully ;00o
pages. with hundreds of engravings,
maps, charts, etc., and will ble conm
-lete in mechanical beauty, and in its
composition when Mr. Tmpkins
completes his work. It may be the
cause of the government taking en
tire control of the immense levee
system, which it is only just that it

Mark Hanna is now scattering the
cash, but the DI)emocrats have their
eyes open, antd will prevent the
wholesale fraud of four years ago.
Ex-Governor Altgeld of Illinois, says
that "fraunaulent votes deprived Mr.
Bryan in 1896 of the electoral votes
(f1 Illinois, Ohio, Indiana and Ken
tucky. With an honest vote hesays,
the Republicans will not be able to
carry eight States."
The September trade editions of

HEALTH AND TRADE.
N. O. 'rime-I)ernmocrat.
Thile sumnmer now coining so rap
idly to a close in New ()rlenis has
hein one of the best this city has
ever known, hoth in the matter of
health and trade. Perhaps the twon
go together, at least in this section.
New Orleans, as we Lhave noted,
has dlone an exceptionally large sum
mer hoinmies'. Its arrivals and clear
aeces of vessiels Inive been far in ex
cess of previutis years, and yet we
have not hadl as many vessels here
as we coull easily have handled, and
there have been frequent complaints
of a shtrtage on tonnage.
As for the health record, it is
without au equal. There have been
oecasiornally n-eceks in the past where
the relports have been good; but this
year they a.e gootd not for a single
week oti for the whole summer.
Take this month, August, for in
stance. Tlhe following has been the
mortality pier thisanmd per annum
for the whites-thle figures are Il
imn,,t a1 goodt even for our colored
pululation, but tirhec negro death rate
is sime ihat fli"Iuituiliat nill n the mIor
talitv for thet whliites is a better test
of the he-alith of this city:
Week entiing- Daths per 1000
Aug. 25.......................13.97
Aug.18......................13.87
Aug. 11.... - ................ 13.12
Aug. 3.......................15 . 5
Average lfor the month.... .....1.0.3
lThis i far below the average of
American cities. As we have noted,
the death rate given in Chicago aid
other Western cities has been fraud
ulent, based on swollen anti extrav.
gant population figures. There will
have to he an entire new calculation.
iand we Inmay expect to see tihe death
rate in COicago advance 25 per cent
aund in Cinciunati 30 per cent, for the
population of tihese cities upon which
their mortality was estimated waHs
exaggerated to that extent. hBut
even with their inflated population
their health, as shown by tihe mor
tality tables, was not!hing like as
<good as New Orleans' August re
cord. If we can keep it up for the
entire year it will mean only 2,4.0
deaths of white people for 1900, and
it will put New Orleans in the front
rank as the healthiest city in the
Union. Perhaps the improvements
which we have already begun, and
which we are to make this the most
sanitar- city in the worli, are aTread -
daking ,their intlutince lclL.

ERACY, EDWARD SPARROW,
CHAPTER.
A Chapter of the Daughters of tle
Confederacy was formed in Lae
Providence. La.. on August 28, 1900,
organized by Mrs. L. Graham. Vice
President of the New Orleans Chapter.
Mrs. W. N. White of our town was
elected President.
It is named the Edward Sparrow
Chapter of the Daughters of the Con
federacv, inihocor of the late General
Edward Sparrow, who was Senator
from Louisiana in the Confederate
State's Congress and chairman of the
Miltary Committee in the Confederate
Senate.
The object of the Daughters of the
Confederacy is to pre. rye, for the
South, all the records, reminiscences
and relics of the Confederate heroes,
soldiers and statesmen. It is to col
lect material for history.
Let all of those ladies who had any
relatives-father. husband, uncle or
brother in the war of secession. Join
the newly formed Chapter of the
l)aughters of the Confederacy. The
memory of that war and of the strange,
splendid Southern civilization whiiir
preceded it, is swiftly growing djpi
in the minds of men; fading awty
*.like far off mountains turned into
clouds." Let us not lose the pict.ulp
entirely. Let us catch the last ftot
tints thereof and preserve them for
future generations; for a glorious hi3s
tory of this Southern land.
All of the ladies of East Carroll,
who can show the necessary qualifica
tions are requested to join the Edward
Sparrow Chapter of the Daughters of
the Confederacy.
For any information, address the
Banner-Democrat or Mrs. W. N.
White. * * *
