MAzATLAN PLAGUE
 NOT so VIRULENT
Less Than Half of the, Victims are
 Dying.

Mazatlan, Mex. January 3.-There is some abatement in the virulenCe of the plague, and not half of the people at tackled are dying. There were seven deaths today. The people still continue to flee from the city and this may spread the disease in the neighboring towns where the refugees have found new homes. For the present physicians say it is not safe to rely on any tenn porary diminution in the violence ot the disease, as epidemics vary from day to day and are influenced largely by the weather.

Negroes In White Playhouse.

Negroes In White Playhouse.
a negro minstrel is advertised
to play in Falk's opera-house in
a few days. 1t is shameful that
negro men and women should be
allowed to amuse the white peO-
pie of this parish from the stage.
White playhOuses should be used
exclusively for the white people,
and it is objectionable for the
management Of Falk's opera
house to allow the use of their
hall to negroes.
1t is the only place of amuse
ment of its kind here and has re-
ceived the liberal support of the
people heretofore. The Gazette
does not desire to Interfere un-
necessarily in the business Of the
owners of the hall, but it feels
quite justified in calling the at
tentiOn of the public to the viO
la5iOn of the proprieties about
to be consummated, and sug
gesting condemnation of such
action by n-attendance. 1t is
useless to argue the gross i'm
propriety of such a custom.
A few days ago baseball
game between white and negro
players was scheduled to take
place in New Orleans, but public
opinion forced the promoters to
abandon the project. Likewise,
negro show advertised to play
in a theatre usually patronized
by the white people, was SO
SHINY attended as to compel the
management to discontinue the
performances.
The contemplated mixture of
the two races should receive such
an emphatic call down" by our
people as to render further men
ton of the disgusting business
unnecessary.

The Booming Of DuSOn.


Last Tuesday Duson was
Doomed with all the accompani-

building of new town. Hun
dreds of people looking for a
bargain were present. Free

the sale of town lots was very
brisk
just at present DuSOn consists
simply of Il railroad depot, two
or three mercantile establish
but back of it is one of the finest
agricultural sections in Louis
lana, which is ample to maintain
a good sized town.

ton and other places in Acadia,
conducted the sale of the prop
erty belonging to the Crowley
Rayne Realty Company, and
Mr.. J. r. Davis, who owns a
tract of thirteen acres adjoining
the railroad track and the main
thoroughfare of the embryo
town, also sold several lots.
The CrowleyRayne Company
sold lots for the sum of $4,000. 90,
the property belonging to them
being the plantation originally
owned by Judge J. G.. Parker
son. The company doaated
twelve lots, comprising a whole
block, to the board Of school di-
rectOrs of this parish, whereon
a handsome school building will
soon be erected.
Several of the purchasers ex
pressed their intention of build
ing in the near future.
Everyone present was given a
free chance town a hundred dol
lar prize, and Mr.. Alex. T. Brous
sard, the police juror from the
second ward, was the lucky
one.
Mr.. j. r. Davis, the enter
prising merchant, had an exhi
bit in his store of the products
of the field and farm raised in
the neighborhood, which would
have done credit to a parish fair
