rvcrybody of any Importance that viewed tho summer resort he never nnnipfl for company.
It un>< his custom to he on the beach when the trains wont' to the city and ram.- fmm It. and all of his fronds wnvtid mi hloi a? the coaches went by. In. !??? Montluzin made a reputation ln-rf a* n surgeon and physician, and llns went* with him to Bay St. Louis. H.- iirnctlrert medicine at the latter nht.-e tin 111 a short tjme before his ?luin Im was obliged to give up of illness.
1 l?A waH surgeon general on the mlii-iai>\Htarr of Governor Murphy J. Foster. Vilh the rank of major. This trlb-uii< ?:Km^ to him an a mark of appre-?-1111 Ion Pn?/hla skill.

.Hr. I.'e Montluzin was born in St. James Parish, l*a., forty-aeven years ago. He attended Tulane University, wnero he graduated from the medloal rollege and then went to Paris to complete hie studies and take speotal
oourses In surgery. From the very beginning of hla career as a doctor he showed that he waa destined to be a particularly suocessful surgeon, and these early predictions were brought to full fruition, as he epjoyed a lucrative practice until stricken with paralysis and was obliged to leave the city to seek rest and lighter work. He went to Bay 8t. Louis, where hla brothers conduot a pharmacy on the beach front, facing the Pickwick Hotel.
while here Dr. De Montluzin waa a member of the Pickwick, Boston and other exclusive clubs and Carnival organisations, always taking a leading
fart in them. His fellow-members at he time joined with many other friends in expressing regret that disease made It necessary for him to leave.
Dr. De Montluzin waa as gifted with the pen as he was with the surgeon's knife, and he wrote many splendid medical papers for Journals in this country and Europe, which alao won for him much distinction.
The news of his death will be learned with genuine regret here aa well as elsewhere. He Is survived by hla brothers, a slater, Mrs. A. M. Benedlc; two nleoes, Mrs. C. A..
