CAPT. A. E.

d'tard tha lately took place OH
Bayou BRuf has deprived this Par
ish Of one of it's most useful and
progressive citizens.
The deceased was a natlve of the
Parish OF St. John, but grew to
manhood in the Town of Algiers,
to which place his father removed,
during the early years of his lite.
The young man was naturally
thrown into the company of boat
men who were the principal resi-
dents in Algirrs at that day. Hence,
he quickly imbibed Il desire for
boating ami boats. Several years
ago. he removed from Als,ers to
Bayou BHuf, and settled upon it's
banks. That section NJ LafOurche
had then but few inhabitants, who
were almOS; shut off from the world,
having no means of communication
except by pi:ogues and laggers.
Capt. Hotard erected IL saw mill,
and. by furnishing employment to
his neighborS soon infused into this
interior settlement a spirit Of pro
gress and energy that WAS hitherto
unknown. 70 find a market for
his lumber. and to supply his work
men with the needed supplies he
built u steamboat upon which all
requisite transportation could be
had. Subsequently, he built two
o;her steamers which navigated all
the Lakes, Bays, Ba! Gus and Ca
nails lying between Lafourche and
the Mississippi river, and opened
out a profitable commerce for all
settlements on the inner Bayous
and Islands. 1t was Capt. Hotard
who ran Il boat from Grand Isle to
Thibo0aux in 1882 that afforded so
much convenience and enjoyment
to the Laionrche people.
1t was his intention to establish
a permanent summer line, similar
to that, in the future.
Withal, this energy and progress,
was only Indicative Of the mans
perseverance aud earnest wishes
for the prosperity of the little set.
tle;len1, which he had been princi
pally instrumental in establishing.
1t did not end here. He took great
interest in the education of the
children in his neighborhood.
He not only provided a school
house but boarded the teacher, and
when public schools were closed,
he kept his open, principally at his
own expense.
1t was his intention, dnrlng the
winter, to clean ont Bayous Beaf,
Malagay and Grand Bayou, under
the new Drainage act originating
in the present Police Jury of the
Parish.
He Was also taking steps to have
a postal route established so that
his neighbors would have better
postal advantages in the future.
But the end has come. Hotard
is dead. Others may spring up and
complete his intended and undertak
en- works.
Though his body lies peacefully
in the quiet shadows of the GENE
terry the good that he has accom-
plished lives as a memorial of his
useful life.
he was equally remarkable for
his social, aud genial qualities, his
hospitable and friendly intercourse,
his charitable aid kindly virtues
as he was for those sterner charac
teristics that distinguish the pro
gresSive man from his less ener
getic fellow citizens. His death
was a sad and tragic end to such a
career as his, and, in the prime of
life and strength of manhood, it cut
him down as the flower withers un
der the winters frosts.

Last night Miss Gerald opened her
engagement here TO n smaller house
than she deserved, or vas to be eX-
pected, from one who was so well
known by reputation. The play is
fairly good, though the character of
the leading part is not such rs to eX-
cite admiration in any audience, how
ever well ii might be played. Miss
Gerald in the first net was not as Sc
riOus rs ladies generally are in such
trying times. She exhibited through
out this act and part of The second too
much consciousness OF the presence of
the audience. This was very natural,
for she has been on the stage but Il
year, and then she was before
an audience of Texas people.
and under such circumstances il was
very natural for Texas girl to feel
| that way. This, however, gradually
wore away rs the play progressed, and
in the last two acts was not noticeable.
| She threw her whole soul into her part
as the piece ran and evinced her native
! talent toward the end. While not
now exhibiting great power, in the
years to come, unless the promise Civ
en- by her work last night is belied,
she will earn worthy laurels that will
cause her state TO be proud of her and
| her work.

their work would prove beneficial. Sir
George Oakman Hugh Erik was
fairly good both in acting and facial
expression, Monsieur Muravieff Mar

villain, though he got in good work.
James Rathburn John Saunders was
II fair servant.
There was no music, the orchestra
having declined ut the last moment to
play. The GAZETTE knows nothing
of the merits of the cause of this fail
ure-but to decline on the eve of per-
fOrmance was discourtesy to the
public and the troupe, and the trouble
should not have been allowed to in
teriere. There is time for all things,
and the gentlemen who acted so sum.
marily are not elevated in public esti-
nation.
Miss Gerald should have n larger
