MODERN IMPROVEMENTS,

Damages to Business Establishment.
in Mississippi Street Being Re
paired and Substantial Improve
ments Made-Plate-GIass Fronts
| Installed.
/ The damage caused to the various stores
and business establishments in Mississippi
street by the big fire of Feb. % is beine
thoroughly repaired, and while the work is
under way all of the concerns are taking
occasion to- make substantial improve
ments to their properties.
The two small shoW-windoWs which
formally fanked the entrance to Lucien
Casso's restaurant have been removed and
a plate-giass front substituted, and the
entire front Of the building has been
painted white. This is a decided improve
ment and greatly enhances the appearance
OF Casso's popular establishment.
The two large front show-windows of
the Dalferes store have been extended to
take in the space formerly occupied by
the doors on the right and left, leaving
one main entrance in the center. The
enlargement of these windows gives the
establishment quite metropolitan ap-
pearance, which is further added to by the
placing of large mirrors in the rear of the
windows. The front of the building is.
being reprinted and otherwise frightened.
Mayor Chas. Maurin will alter the front
of his Famous Blue Store in the same
manner as that adopted by the Dalferes
establishment, constructing two spacious
show windows on either side of a wide
main entrance. The building will also be
reprinted and renovated.
The four large plate-glass windows in
the Mississippi street front of the Peoples
Bank building, which were cracked by the
heat from the big blaze, have been re-
placed with new panels.
The Maurin building at the corner of
Mississippi and Lessard streets, now occu-
oied by Cobb's Hotel, the Bank Of Ascen-
zion and colomb's insurance agency, is
icing reprinted.
All of these improvements add materi-
lily to the appearance of the respective
buildings, and when the burned district
las been rebuilt with the imposing
tructures now contemplated the territory
Donaldsonvilles main business
enter will present even more modern
nd attractive appearance than before the
DISASTROUS confiagration which wiped so
luch of it cut of existence. +

S. J. c. /. Notes.

The playing of the orchestra at the
solemn high mass last Sunday, the feast
OF st. Joseph, was an agreeable surprise
While many had known through these
notes that the school had an orchestra
still they did not believe that boy or
chestra could be trained to such a high
degree of excellence.
The boy choir also received great deal
of praise. The Vesper singing particu-
larry astonished the congregation. That
boys SO young could so readily grasp the
various tones and master the Latin phras-
ing was a source of congratulation to the
master Of singing. One feature Of the
singing was the cornet accompaniment
by Emile Houillon.
Both choir and orchestra are preparing
program for the Knights Of Columbus
mass on Easter morning.
Tomorrow at 3 p. m. the S. j. C. l. base
ball team will cross bats with the D. II.

candidates for baseball honors on the S.

Falcon, j. Richard. E. Houillon, L. .Gaudin,

uez, L. Brun.
The pupils of the school are organizing
a rooters club. There is very commend
able spirit of loyalty among the pupils.
Ihey are anxious to see their school excel
not only in the academic department, but
IN the athletic field as we'll III all contests

victory Or render defeat less unpalatable by

Elngly and R. ?. Stakelum are the organic
ers of the club.
