interest in the concert band here
for many years, Until it's disor
ganization he was one of the
clarionet players.
In the spring of 1910 Rev. Du.
bourg went to France for a visit,
much against the wishes of his
friends, who thought he would
be unable to stand the fatigue Of
the trip. He remained there
with his relatives, where he was
continuously sick until February
of this year, and made the trip
back alone, getting out of a sick
bed, and returning, making the
transfers from railroad and ship
and to railroad again unassisted,
and despite his illness. He
reached here March IA in the
afternoon, and the next day he
said his first mass. On the fol-
lowing Friday he again cele-
brated mass, but while he was
giving communion he felt weak
ness coming on, and returning to
the, altar, after having placed
the host on the altar, he fell I'M
conscious. He was removed and
in the sacristy tainted again, and
on recovering consciousness his
first words to Father Rousseau
were: Have I consumed the
precious blood?" His vestments
were removed and he was car
ried to his room, where for the
third time he tainted. His ply
sicians, Drs. A. J. and L. E.
Meyer, were Immediately sum-
moned and remained with him
until the end. i
Since March Is Rev. Dubourg
had practically been confined to
his room, getting up once to sit
at the table with several priests
who were his guests, and sitting
in his room in a chair several
hours at a time. April s, the
last sacraments were administer
ed to him after he had called
upon Father Chapon to confess
him, and after he had been told
that his death was only a ques-
ton of a few days. He was
fully resigned and was conscious
until two or three hours before
the end.
The Knights of Columbus had
been making watches at the bed
side for the last days, and they
had beed joined by the Catholic
Knights a few nights ago. Last
night, when it was seen that the
end was near, the number of

Grand Seminary in Paris. Whel
"a years of age he, together will
forty other native sons of France
came to this country and landed
in New Orleans. Three weeks
afterwards he was ordained as {
priest by Archpishop Poche al
the Seminary Boulignie, con.
Quoted by the Lazarist Fathers
in Napoleon Avenue. He wa
sent to Opelousas, then an open
prairie, with no railroad commu,
nication or towns in the immedi-
ate vicinity, and served as an
assistant under the then pastor
of that place, Rev. Father Ray

weeks in every month on horse
back, stopping at # I
houres along the route, celebrat-
ing mass for those people were
not near the church, administer
ing to the sick and educating the
children in the tenets Of the
Catholic faith.
After one year and a half Of
hard and assiduous work, the
then archbishop, recognizing his
zeal, energy and ability, trans
ferred him to La Vacherie, in the
Parish of ST. James, where he
was stationed seventeen years.
Besides this church he had I'M
der his sole supervision three
chapels, one at st. Philip on the
river, and two in Lafourche,
Bayou Boeuf and Malaguay.
These three places he made on
off Sundays as well as one day
in every week, being forced to
travel most of the time through
swaInps in either a pirogue or in
a dugout or on foot, and many
were the times that he was lost
in this marshy and swampy
country, not knowing how to
find his way out. This hard
work he kept up for seventeen
years, afterwards being trans
ferred to st. James as pastor,
where he labored for two years.
In 1886 he arrived there and left
in 1888 for st. Maurice Church
in New Orleans. where he was
pastor for two years.
In 1890, at the instance of the
people Of Opelousas, he was
Rade pastor of the Catholic
Church at that place where he
had first served in the work
as assistant. He labored there
assidnously until 1895, when,

A fishing club-name not selected
as yet-is the latest in the way of

mer. Planned a year ago, many
causes delayed action until last night
when the organization was finally ef-
fected, five incorporators named to act
as directors until a charter was Sc
cured for the lake.
A dozen or more subscribers to the
$4,000 capital stock of the proposed
club met last night at the First Ma
tional Bank. A report of the site
committee recommending tract of 80
acres, FIVE miles south of the city and
four miles from railroad was read
and accepted after discussion.
During the discussion it was devel-
oped that there was no place near the
city where the club could secure suf-
ficient acreage for lake. Some OF
the members did not think this state
ment was accurate and wanted action
deferred.
I The committee in charge was in
structed to collect so per cent of the
shares money and to make plans fol
an early start on the lake. w. c
Bennett, the leading spirit in the new
club, was made chairman.
