TO BE GIVEN PENSIONS
SEVERAL FIREMEN ARE SOON TO GO
on THE RETIRED LIST.
Available Fund Now over S2O,OOO-Nr.
Mcguire Denies the Report of
Wholesale Removals.

Within a short time the Board of Public
Safety will place several f1remen on the re-
tired list. Others who have been disabled
and are capacitated from active work
will be given lighter duties to perform.
Just how many changes will be made is
not known at the present time but within
a short time, possibly during the next
month, the board will have a conference
with Chief Webster and decide just what
changes are to be made. Charles Mcguire
president Of the board, said yesterday that
the report that wholesale cleaning out
of the department is contemplated is ri
diculous and was never contemplated for a
moment. The department, as a whole, is
in excellent condition, Mr.. Mcguire said
and but few causes for dissatisfaction with
the force exist. 1t is a good while since
any complaints of drinking and improper
conduct against the men have been made
and the force is regarded as reliable and
trustworthy.
Those men who are permanently retired
will become benefciaries of the pension
fund, which is fed by a tax each year In
a communication to the Council Monday
night Mayor Taggart referred to the fact
that SO, S2s.37 will be added to the pension
fund from the tax levy next year. Mr..
Downing says that the receipts for the last
so that there is already available over
$4,000, including private donations and re-
ceipts from firemen's balls. He says that
only those men who are permanently dis
abled or too old to be in active service
will be retired. Under the law passed by
the last Legislature a sufficient pension
will be paid them to insure them a COM
Portable living. He believes that by retir
ing disabled firemen the city will be bene
flied in two ways; some good will accrue
from the fund which is piling up and the
department Will be relieved from paying
salaries, as he believes the force now en-
ployed will be sufficient to do all the work.
So far as is known no additional APP
pointments will be made to the force as
the Sub-liSt contains the names of men VINO
have been found efficient and satisfactory.
With the new fire houses and plenty OF
good apparatus Mr.. Mcguire says that the
department is regarded as being in first
class condition. If it should be demon
strated in handling big fire that any of
the men are not up to requirements In
handling apparatus Mr.. Mcguire says that
they would probably be required 10 seek
other employment, but until such a con-
tingency arises no startling changes VIII be
made. OF course, however, when the OLD
men are retired it may be necessary TO
change some of the fremen to fill vacan-
cies, Mr.. Mcguire says

A Bad Article Found on Sale at the
Market.

City Sanitarian Ferguson has been inyes-
tigating complaints to the effect that bad
butter is being sold on the market Yes
terday he found butter being sold al 15c a
pound, or two pounds for Doc. Suspecting
that something must be wrong from the
low price asked for the stuff. a quantity
was purchased and analysed. 1t showed
about 50 per cent of water, whereas not
more than II per cent. is allowable The
woman who had the butter for sale de-
clared that she did not make It herself, but
he warned not to sell more of the stuff
Others will be notified that they are vioIat-
ing the law. and if the offenSe continues
they will be prosecuted
The stuff sold is what is known to chem
lists as ''pepsin" butter from the fact that
about so per cent. of milk is added to the
butter and pepsin is incorpora ted to curdle
the milk. SO that it will remain in solid
form.

THE GEORGIA MINsTPELs.

Richards s. Pringle's Georgia
Minstrels played at the Opera
House in Houma last Monday
night to the largest audience that
ever greeted a theatrical troupe
here. One half of the gallery
was used by the colored people,
and it was literally damned.
The other half of the gallery
was also thoroughly occupied by
white people while nearly every
available seat down stairs had
an occupant.
The troupe is certainly one of
the best minstrel companies III the
world. 1t has this reputation aud
it certainly deserves it. Billy
KerSands is a show in himself and
Oniel is two shows. The lat.
ter is by far the best and most
natural actor in the lot, although
all are good. Unlike many min.
strel troupes there was nothing of
an Objectionable nature, nothing
bordering on vulgarity and nothing
that the most particular could
take offense at unless one could
take offense at the size and fex-
ibllity of Billy Kersands cavernouS
mouth.
The Georgia Minstrels proved a
treat to the people of Houma who
showed that they good
troupe by turning out almost Ell
masSe to see it.
The managers of the Opera
House made "a big stake financially
clearing about $4,000 for the use
OF the Opera House for that night

KRAUsE COMEDY COMPANY.

The success of the Opera House
management last Monday night,
and the impression made upon the
managers Of the Georgia Minstrels
enabled the gentlemen at the
head OF our local theatrical affairs
to get another first-class comedy
company to play in Houma. The
company referred to IS the OTTO
II. Kranse Comedy Company and
they will play four nights in
Houma beginning tomorrow night
at the usual hour. This company
is classed with the best. It Is
seldom it plays in towns as small
as Houma; but it is attracted
here by our fine theatre, and the
success OF the visit of the Georgia
Ministries.
THE COURIER hopes that the
troupe will be we'll patronized by
the people of the town and parish.
Ii we want good troupes to play
here we must patronize them when
they come 50 that they will be
encouraged to come again. On
these winter nights the country
people could enjoy an evening by
driving to town and attending the
performance, If they went to New
Orleans they would be sure to go
to a theatre and enjoy an evening,
Why can't they enjoy their eve
nings out here 2
The troupe that will be here to-
morrow night, Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday nights, filed an
engagement at the Grand Opera
House this season. It is as good
as many troupes that you have
to pay $1.50 to see IN New Or
leans. Why not come TO Houma
to see it 2
