Theatrical Notes.

Both Of the plays presented at the
Iondran Theatre this season, The
Thief" as the opening bill on Sept.
Is and THE Gamblers" last Sun
day night, were unusually high-class
ter production being especially nota-
Die for the splendid manner in
which it was presented by the capa-
Bile and Well-balanced cast. A large
audience witnessed the performance,
and the consensus of opinion was
|sthat no stronger or better-acted play
has ever been staged in this city.
1t is the aim of the present manage
ment of the Gondran to offer only
such attractions as are known to
be first-class in every respect and
worthy of patronage, and while the
prices may be somewhat higher than
nave obtained in the past, still the
character Of the shows will be such
as to justify the increased outlay
for seats On the part of play-goers,
who may rest assured Of getting
their moneys worth every time.
The next attractions at the Con
dram will be Sis Perkins, which
is booked for matinee and night per-
formances next Monday, Nov. 10,
and 'sTne Third Degree" billed for
Friday, the 18th. Both of these pro-
auctions come to Donaldsonville well
recommended by other communities
where they have appeared this sea-
son, and it Is said that il the size
Of the audiences is at all common
surate with the merit OF the plays
the S. R. Q. sign will have to be
displayed.
Theatre-goers should show their
appreciation of the quality Of the at
fractions furnished them this season
by croWding the house at each per-
Torrance.
Pay your poll tax and register
and Do IT NOW.

Bros, have sold their tugboat White
water to the United States govern,
nent, the consideration being sis, 600
The vessel will be used in bank pro
lection work at and around Vicks-
ourg, towing rock barges, laying viii
low mattresses, etc. The WhiteWa-
ter, which was bought by Whiteman
Bros. from the Monongahela River

pany in September of last year, is
fitted with compound engines of high
power. The vessel will be delivered

ment in a few days.
After completing the arrangements

CHANGE OF SECOND PRIMARY
DATE LEGAL,

Attorney General Guion has rem
dered On official opinion that the
Democratic state committee had the
legal right to change the date of the
second primary election from Feb
ruary 20, Mardi Gras, to February ~.
According to this opinion, the com
mlttee could not change the date OF
the fret primary, because it was
fixed at the meeting which the law
says must be held at a certain time
for that specific purpose, and the
selection cannot be made or altered
at any subsequent meeting. The re-
quirement Of the law that the second
primary shall be held -four weeks
from the date of the first primary"
is construed by the attorney general
to mean that the date set for the sec
ond contest shall be not less than
four weeks after the first primary,
and that there is no prohibition
against the choice Of a date more
than four weeks later.
A majority of the statewide candi-
dates have signified in writing their
acquiescence in the change Of date,
and Chairman F. B. Williams of the
Republican state committee has au-
thofized the statement that the Re
publ1cans will not seek to take any
advantage of the mistake of their
Democratic friends in calling a pri-
mary for Mardi aras.

ELECTION RESULTS A STAND OFF

Elections were held in several states
and cities last Tuesday, and all
parties-Democrat, Republican an
Socialist-can find some reasons for
satisfaction and encouragement in
the mixed results
The main causes for Democratic
jubilation are to be found in the
facts that the Democratic governor
of Massachusetts was reelected; that
Kentucky and New Mexico We're car
ried by the Democrats, thus insurlng
the election of Ollie James as Uni
ted States senator from the former
state to succeed Senator Paynter and
the choice of two Democratic sena-
tors from New Mexico; that the Dem
ocrats saved the legislature in Mary
land, and that in Cleveland, Cincin-
natl, Columbus and several other
Ohio cities the Democratic municipal
tickets were generally successful.
The Republicans can draw much
consolation from the facts that Mas
sachusetts elected a Republican leg
islature and a Republican lieutenant
governor by a larger majority than
it gave the Democratic governor;
that Rhode Island gave an increased
Republican majority; that the legis-
latures of New Mexico and New
Jersey were Wrested from Demo
cratic control and made heavily Re-
publican; that Maryland has elected
a Republican governor for the second
time since the civil war, and that Re-
publicans were elected to all minor
state offices voted for in Nebraska.
The Socialists can plume them
selves on largely increased vote in
Mississippi and the election of their
candidates in number of cities, par
ticularly in Ohio and Utah.
The progressive or insurgent Re-
publicans express qualification over
the defeat of the, German Democratic
machine in Maryland and the Pen
rose Republican machine in Philadel-
phia, and take some credit to them
selves for the Democratic defeat in
New York.
Mississippi and Virginia went
heavily Democratic of course.
Tammany elected majority of it's
candidates in New York city proper,
out by reduced votes, and the Re-
publicans swept Brooklyn
The constitutional amendment in
tended to disfranchise the negroes
of Maryland was defeated decisively.

GonzaIes--Mathieu.

Miss Beatrix Matthew, the lovely

mony being performed by the brides

A. Terrio, of New Orleans, gave the
