The Woman Halter.

One of the most successful of
our young stars, Mr.. Harry
Beresford, will soon be seen in
our city in his latest success,
1.-THE Woman Hater," David D.
Lloyd's screamingly funny
comedy. Through it Mr.. Beres-
ford is enabled to display his
versatility and genius, and in it,
he, with consummate skill and
charm of manner that will be
found truly delightful, will pre-
sent his lines of dry. quaint
comedy in a bright, amusing
way that will always catch his
audiences. "The WomanH Halter"
is one of those richly humorous
and daintily charming comedies
that is entirely free from the
noisome double entendre that
many playwright's think neces-
sary to place in their script.
It's delicious comedy will not
brings blush to the cheeks of
even the most fastidiOus, yet its
action is grotesque, it's situa-
tons ludicrous, and it's climaxes
of the most intense laugh-provok-
ing nature. It's absurdities will
appeal to everyone who has had
q fit of blues and it's refined wit
and all pervading merriment
will give to it's beholders one of
the most pleasant evenings en-
tertainments that they have ever
beheld. Beautiful and attractive
gowns of exquisite design WILDE
worn by the ladies of the com.
pany and the costuming of the
male members will be in keeping
with the refined tone of the
comedy. The staging and
mounting will be exquisite, mag.
ificent and an exact reproduction

Buster Brown.

Not for many seasons has a
musical comedy creation received
such universal endorsement from
critics as Buster Brown. which
comes to the Jefferson Theatre
on Sunday March IL. 1906,
direct from a continuous run OF
One Hundred Nights at the
Majestic Theatre in New York
and Two Hundred Performances
in Chicago. 1t is said to be just
what the anxious public want
and are expressing their pleasure
at every performance whenever
presented. 1t is conceded by
the most exacting critics to be
the best musical comedy pre-
scented in many a day and many
of it's enthusiastic Judges say 1t
is the best yet. The comedy
abOundS with many new and
catchy songs and Buster en-
deavoring to get his mother in
many complicated situations
which keeps the audience in a
tumult of laughter and applause.
The comedy is played in two
acts with a profusion of charac-
tiers which helps to increase the
many funny situations. Clever
SHOW girls" in beautiful cos-
tunes help to surround the well
balanced cast to keep up the fun.

the Health Conference held at Alexan-
dria February IA and ID, made the
following report:
Broussard. La, Feb. q, 1906.
To the Honorable Police Jury, Lafayette
Parish, La.
AS delegate from the parish, L
attended the Alexandria Health Con-
ference the 14th and 18th inst.
The fact was brought out that
yellow fever had prevailed at kenner
very recently, and that some sections
that we're infected last year have not
yet been fumigated. The State Board
will do all in its power to have these
localities freed from infected mosque
toes. to prevent a recrudeScence OF the
fever this summer, but owing to the
lateness of the season their efforts
will probably fail. In anticipation
of these facts thev are directing their
efforts towards educating the people
in the mosquito doctrine. which is
now generally accepted as the only
means of infection.
Much has to be done along this
line before the people are sufficiently
educated not to become panic stricken
should the fever appear in their midst.
Believing it the best way OF reach
Ing our people, the health boards of
the town and parish have extended an
invitation to DR.. Konke of New
Orleans to deliver an illustrated
lecture on the subject, under the
auspices of the State Board of
Health, at Lafayette on March II next.
That no mild case of yellow fever
escape attention, | respectfully sug-
gest that your body make necessary
laws compelling physicians to report
suspicious as well as positive Eases
of yellow fever within q hours after
seeing the ease and keep suchspatient
under a suitable moSquito' bar until
the room can be properly screened and
the house fumigated. If this is done
there viii be little danger Of the
disease becoming epidemic. The
danger is inmild, unrecognized cases
where these precautions have not
been taken.
Several parishes have already
passed screening ordinances. Here
with I enclose a copy OF the ordinance
for the city of New Orleans.
The several towns in the parish
will probably enact similar laws. In
regard to the parish while it may be
only partially executed ! feel it will
result in some good and urge its
adoption.
Imust again ask that You accept
my resignation. l cannot give the
necessary attention to the Office, and
from now on will cease to act in
such capacity.
Thanking your Honorable body for
past considerations.
Yours very truly,
g. r. DELAUREAL. Nj. D.,
Pres. Parish Board of Health.
Report accepted with thanks. No
action taken as to mosquito ordinance.
