A Good Play nd Wen Played.

The young folks did themselves
great credit in their rendition of
Nevada, each did his or her part
we'll with not u break from start To
finish. Mark Thompson was in very
benevolent mood as Daddy, ''Old Yer
mont,' but the discovery of his son
rather spoiled his game with the little
wilder. Pearl HollinShead not only
made d good CuinamEn but surprised
the natives with his jig dancing.
Phi Snyder was the winner of the
sweep stakes made up in red and
white as Silas Steel, missionary OF
health" Dave Robinson part Ill
him and he got right into it, he is
good locker on The stage besides being
"a good actor. ChaS, Hamilton was
suberb as Nevada" good form, good
height, excellent voice and splendid
Interpretation of the character. The
detective and real culprit, d difficult
part, was well managed by John
Thompson, but that did not save his
bacon, he was the only apparent loser
in the whole game. Richard Fairlee
or Dandy Dick" was well taken by
Venrick but what would have become
of him had it not been for "MOSelle"
not even the Chinaman could have
conjectured. Miss Josie Heaton as
Mother Merton" plays her part in a
very commenda bic manner but is left
in d very deplorable condition on the
discovery that Daddy has wife
and family in the states. The young
ladies, Miss Lottie Mcdonald and Miss
Ethel Waters are entirely all right III

waH, ano Miss Agnes Fairlee and wind
up their love affairs as all love affairs
should end. Art Vining makes d
number one coon and was the cause
of much merriment to the large at

ONE FIRM CAUGHT.

For several days rumors we're
circulating in the country that one
firm had done some crooked tran
sactions in New Orleans having
sold some cotton at IL cents and
rendered account sales at 9 cents,
but we could get nothing of these
rumors from the newspapers OF
the city, except from the last Sum-
day papers we saw that the firm OF
H. g. G. Newman Limited, had
been expelled from the Cotton Ex-
change for having violated article
eight of the constitution of the
exchange.
The rumor in the country is that
the firm sold cotton at IL cts and
made returns at 8 cts, and if this
is the case we believe it should
have been reported in full, in or
der to protect the country people
from dealing with this firm.
The country people as a rule
believe that they are often the VIC
Tins Of such transactions, of loss
in weight, inferior classification
and reduced account sales, and i
is just such cases as this particu
lar one, which is not clearly pu
before the public, that creates suct
suspicion.
We are of opinion that it would
be of some satisfaction to thu
country people if they were to ex
act Of the commission houses some
proof of the sales that are mad,
for their account, such as weighel
and classer's certificates, and til,
names of persons to whom thei
crop are solo, and if an investiga
ton was made once in while, i
would tend to establiseh more cor
fidence between the planter ant
commission houses.

planters must have the laborers,
and if the negroes will not work
more regularly than they have
been doing during this past sea-
son, the planters will have to i'm
port some other laborers and the
negroes will have to be driven
from the towns that will not be
able to support them, as their
work is the field.
The negroes should profit by
the experience Of the negroes OF
North Louisiana, who had quit
the country to locate insthe towns
aud after short time they had
congregated in these towns were
compelled to show their means o.
living, and when this was not sa
tisfactory, TO the officers of th'
law, were ordered out of town OF
put upon the streets during tn
day and locked up in the guar'
house during the night.
The work of the field cannot b,
delayed, and the laborers should
make up their minds that the
have to work regularly or the
will destroy their means of gettin
| a living.

A PRETTY BALL.

The ball given last Sunday by
the Greig Orchestra, was magni-
fcent success in every particular,
the attendance was large, the num-
Der of maskers was larger than
was expected, which made this
ball one of the prettiest given here
for quite long time.
Mr.. James Simon who acted as
Master of Ceremonies, at eight
o'clock announced the selection of
the committee for king, who was
was Mr.. Palmer Bienvenu, and his
Queen, Miss Virginia Bassett, the
Dukes were Messrs. Robert Gui-
rard, Albert Hebert and Fred Bes-
lin, the Duchesses were, Misses
Jeanne Lacaze. Lille Hebert and
Emelie DeBlanc.
The Counts were Messrs. Ana
tole Gauthier, Henry Bienvenu,
Lucas Barras, Iphis Fournet and
the Countesses were Misses Louise
Resweber, Stella Hebert, Antonio
Clement, Lillia Bienvenu.
The grand march which precee-
ded the royal lancers was admired
by the large audience, and the ro-
val lancers was a real pretty sight.
The disposition of all who were
present was to enjoy the pleasures
of this pretty ball, and we can
safely say that it was enjoyed bX
all.

THE LABOR.

The planters as rule, are all
experiencing some difficulty with
the negro field laborers of this
section. and they all report great
difficulty in the organization of
the field operations which are now
pressing. 1t seems that the negro
laborer, in particular, is growing
too independent to be depended
upon. as when he is in possession
of a certain amount of money. his
dispositions are more to enjoy life
than to be at work.
1t seems that a large number of
negro laborers are quitting the
country district to locate in the
towns where they do day work,
but these day laborers from the
town cannot be depended upon, as
they are not regular at their work
and will work only when they feel
like working.
This condition of affairs is get
ting to be serions and will be of
no benefit to the laborers, as the

Safe Blowers at Work.

The following which Is speclal
from Houma, to the Times-Demo-
crat, dated February 3rd.
Three bold attempts at robbery
were made in Houma last night,
but only one attempt succeeded.
Alphonse Dupont's large store. on
Main street, was entered. There
are burglar alarms on all OF the
doors and windows of the store
with the exception of the front /,
door, and as none of these were
forced open the supposition is
that the thieves used skeleton
keys. Mr.. Dupont's large iron
safe is in the Office in the main
building OF the store. The thieves
entered the Office. pulled down
the shades and turned on the
electric light. They then attemp-
ted to open the safe by boring
holes through the combination.
The combination dial was
broken off, and Mr.. Du-
pont found it impossible to open
the safe door this morning The
money left in the safe Saturday
night, amounted to nearly $500,
but the indications are that the
safe was not opened by the rob-
bers, and it is thought that the
, money will be found in the safe
when Mr.. Dupont gets an expert
to open it.
II Another store entered was the
| large furnishing establishment
of Ellis Braud & Sons, located on
3 Main street, near the busy centre
of town. A key was used to open
a door, as none of the openings
showed any sign of having been
:, forced. In the Braud safe we're
S400, and not dollar of this
amount was taken, although the
burglars managed to open the out
er door of the safe. The. lock Of
the inner door was driven in, but
: the bolt became wedged and re.
sisted the further efforts of the
9 burglars, who apparently became
alarmed and abandoned their
work while on the eve of succeed
ing. In both instances the rob-
bers confined their efforts to SAFE
> opening, as nothing was stolen
from either store.
Another robbery was committed
last night, and was not discovered
!, until this evening. The Houma
Fish and Oyster Company's safe
was broken into and about $l5C
stolen. The outside door of this
!, safe was out of order and the mon
. ey stolen was placed in drawer
in the inside of the safe, and the
thief got the money by prying
open the drawer. After taking
the money the thief went out Of
the office door and then locked
it. There is no clew
!, to any of the robberief
which were committed, no donbt
by the same person or persons
The character of the work in each
: instance seems to indicate that
the robberies were not done by
