(omesd n hSa a OULI[IR CMETERY NO CLIeIe MOHRE All Bodies Transferred to Metairie Cemetery Early Tuesday Morning. Respect for the Dead. I Early Tuesday morning active work was begun in removing the remains of the deceased members of the Oli vier and Duverje families from the old family burying ground, located on Opelousas avenue, bounded by \'erret. Seguin and Evelina streets. Members of the family were'present to see that the remains were properly enemove(! and an undertaker from the city was ready with the receiving wagons and proper receptacles to con vey the bones and ashes of the earlier settlers of Algiers to Metairie Ceme tery. where they will find their last resting place. Mr. J. Gustave Olivier. who was one of the principal movers 3 in donating this plot of ground to the Algiers children, was present, and he superintended the removal of the re mains. The Algiers people, and espe. t clally the children, will be forever c grateful to the Oliviers and their con- c nections for this grateful gift to the city, which has been dedicated for fu- 8 ture use for playgrounds for our little u children. a The city of New Orleans will erect a handsome tomb in Metairie Ceme-. tery, which will be the receptacle for the ashes of these early settlers, and c there will also be a small monument or tablet erected in the playgrounds which will commemorate the place. On account of the buildings on the burying grounds always being kept in such perfect condition. it is not gen erally known by the public that it was Id more than a hundred years ago that g the first baby was interred there. The v first burial in the cemetery took place ýv in 1805, and it was only a few week. tl after that the transfer of the property n was made from Louis Borepo to Bar- t tholomi DuverJe on the 9th day of August, 1805. The purchase price for . all that portion of Algiers embracing p all the land between the present Ver- tl ret street and the upper line, now c McDonoghville, was $18,000. This site t4 eventually became the original town b of Algiers. Another old landmark of ti the Olivier's and DuverJe's was de- b stroyed during our big fire in 1893. This was known as the old DuverJe house, a counterpart of which was the Louisiana State Building at the Co lumbia Exposition. Out of respect for the dead, there were to crowds allowed to gather in b the vicinity of the cemetery. G CHANGES IN ELECTION PRECINTS. c Registrar of Voters Heard sent to a the council Tuesday a communication calling attention to the fact that there are thirty precincts of the city in which there are more than 400 voters. Under the law these must be reduced by division or recreation of new pre clncts. The registrar sent data and C maps, and made suggestionss as to how some of the large precincts could be reduced. In our ward, a change of the boun- i daries of Precincts Four and Five, t each having more than 400 voters isa suggested. The council took no action, but if it decides to make the changes sug- n gested, will refer the matter to the city attorney to prepare maps of the changes desired and an ordinance will be introduced to authorize them. NEW LEVEE BOARD APPOINT- f MENTS. e The Orleans Levee Board Tuesday n completed the appointment in the field , and office forces. In some few cases g the old appointees were retained. e Mr. E. J.

(orrespondence that has passed re cently between S. A. Trufant, member of the naval base committee, of New Orleans, and W. ii. Stayton. executive secretary of the Navy League of the I'nited States, of Washington, indi cates that an active campaign for the development of the navy yard at Al giers is being urged, with the outlook tor a successful consumation of plans proposed. In a recent letter, Mr. Trufant called Mir. Stayton's attention to the irn portance of recognizing the port of New Orleans and the Mississippi Val ley in the distribution and building up of the smaller units. "The Navy League must remember,' wrote Mr. Trufant, "that the entire Mississippi Valley regards the navy yard at New Orleans as their own. and I am sure that in the past tie un fair discrimination against this yard has been resented by the peolle in the valley, to the extent that it has cost previous administrations active co-operation in supporting the navy budget. It Is very probable that we should today have had a much larger navy to show our power to do right and enforce peace had the two pre vious secretaries of the navy not treat ed the claims of New Orleans and the Mississippi Valley with such absolute contempt." Monday Mr. Trufant received a let ter from Mr. Stayton. executive secre tary of the Navy League of the United States. which read, in part, as follows: "I am not unmindful of the necessity for looking out for the New Orleans - yard, and, of course, common sense dicates that we should endeavor to get the support of the great central valley, which is Interested in that yard. I am glad to say that largely through the efforts of General Esto nal, a board is to be organized to de termine the question of the yards which are to be developed. When that work gets under way, it will be a pleasure to co-operate with you gen tlemen who make up our Louisiana committee, and you may count on us to do all that we can to get the facts before the board, and it is quite sure that many members of the board will be our old friends."

Holmes & Co. department store had the time of their lives at the annual - picnic at Spanish Fort, Saturday. The fun began early, at 9 a. m., when the employees, headed by a band and a squad of New Orleans' "finest," marched from the store to a long string of electric cars on Liberty street, making a decidedly interesting early morning parade. Practically very one of the 700 em ployees was dressed in white, while they all wore badges and carried large signs with the inscriplon, "D. IH. Holmes, Ninth Annual Picnic." The Fort was reached at 10 o'clock and in stantly the real fun or the day began. There was a scramble for the different places of amusement, while the young sters made a rush out the pier to the bathhouse. Those who just couldn't make their feet behave were dancing in the pavilion within a short while, and it was twelve hours later before they began showing even the slightest symptoms of being tired. Even the floor walkers lost their dig nity, and gray-haired men became boys again, while the ladies of mature years were as Joyful as the younger ones. The picnickers rushing outdoor exer cises developed wonderful appetites by early afternoon and the serving of din ner in Tranchilna's restaurant began. Three hundred were seated at one time, and as fast as they finished, their places were taken by others. The annual picnic was inaugurated nine years ago, the total expense being borne by the store. The store manage meat looks upon it as the best manner in which to bring their employes in elemr permoal touch with each other.
