New National.

No more delightful offering has been
presented at the theaters this season
than the quaint and melodious Hun
garian operetta "Sari." which made its
first appearance here last season and.
judged from its reception last evening
will be welcome for several seasons to
come. 1t means but little to the aver
age theatergoer to say that its music
Is the composition of Emmerich Kali
man. that its book Is by julius Wilhelm
and Fritz Grunbaum, that the English
translation and lyrics are the work OF
c. C. S. Cushing and E. P. Heath and
that 1t was staged by George Marion.
But SO charming is the vivacious and
truly original entertainment 1t af-
fords, every one who had a hand in its
entitled to be mentioned at least.
The pre-eminently dlstins uishing
merit of the operetta is that 1t offers
the charming little Mizzi Hajos at her
sets all the freshness of youthful
beauty. the quaint and unique methods
of a captivating comedienne, a voice
AS sweet as bird and vivacity that
nothing can subdue Her song;
the operetta. Miss Hajos is all that
the rarest OF Hungarian maidens might
be expected to be. with a host of
charms purely her own-and all seem
to be put in play in her role Of the
quaint little Sari who takes life as it
strikes her. loves her egotistical old
father and is not a bit averse to being
loved by CASTOR. the Count Irini,
whom Charles Meakins had the good
fortune to portray. Mr.. Meakins. it is
true. has little to do but look pretty
and hop around. which he does very
gracefully-and he also makes per-
functtory love to Sari. nicely. too.
The unfortunate member of the cast
seemed to be H. W. Marsh. the young
handled voice. who deservedly won two
encores. but had to pass the honors over
to his Sweetheart" in the play. who
seemed very anxious to take them. He
did 1t generously. however.

Columbia,

A charming play. of many thrills and
just as many smiles. is back in Wash
ington again at the Columbia this
week. The authors of THE Dummy"
Harvey J. OHiggins and Harriet
Ford. have made it a play in which
are depicted as precious a lot of
crooks as ever lived on the stage
or in real life. and yet have made them
human. And while there is never a
doubt as to the ultimate happiness of
| the little kidnapped girl, the great de-
tective' and all the other perfectly
nice people" the story is SO real and

i, heard to say. oh. the poor little
Dummy is convincing, above ALL Its
people impress one as being real peo-
pie. And it has the punch" a good
thing for any play to have. Sleuthing
and slang go together through the four
acts, never falling in its line of logic
and emphasizing the wit Of every line
of dialogue.
Ernest Truck. as Barney Cook, boy
'detectuSy;" as he takes great pride in
the kidnapped child, furnish the child
element which gives The Dummy
much of its charm. The true boyish-
ness of Mr.. Trucks Barney. without
which much of the charm of the play
| would be lost, is paralleled by the
blonde curls and real childishness of
little Miss Fair. who is fair not in name

Respectfully submitted,
New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1914-01-17

The following report ana mes
sage from President King was
ordered spread on the minutes:
On assuming charge of the al
fairs of this Parish in June
1912. every member of this jury
pledged his every effort to the
mpbuild of the Parish, and par.
ticularly, to do his utmost to pro
mote a system of Road building
and maintenance which would
provide safety and comfort to
the travelling public at all sea
sons, and to permit a more eco
nomical harvesting of crops.
How these pledges have been
kept, is evidenced by the work
already accomplished.
The Model Road, while per-
haps a disappointment to us, still
provides the best thorOughfare
which has ever existed between
New Iberia and Jeanerette. The
acquisition of the Wyche Road
does away with the hardships inn
a,oeed by a toll and furnishes the
= esidcn@ Of two County seats
with a short and good road for
their own use. The road leading
to Loreauyille has been convert
ed from q bog into splendid
highway, while Lourd's Lane and
Curtis Lane, for years considered
beyond repairs, now furnish easy
access to and from that import
ant section known as Petit Anse.
The bridges spanning the Techc
at Loreauville and Olivier were
both out of commissions at the
time Of our inductioniilto office; ,
these have beepe Reconstructed
and will serve<fhe heavy traffic
to which they arc subjected for
many years, the one over Rose
! dale CaAs6l, washed away by the
ktloosas Of last summer, has been
replaced by a substantial struc-
ture build on pilings to stand
for generations; and finally mum.
erous delapidated and unsightly
bridges Throughout the Parish
have been removed and substi-
tuted by galvanized iron culverts.
!. the advantages of which are so
patent, that it il useless to dis
cuss them. In addition, / may
mention the contemplated pro-,
jccts which will soon give Burke
Station, Lydia. Patoutville and
the Salt Mines more direct and
better communication with New
Iberia.
Nor have these things been ac-
complished at the expense of
other localities. / believe that
to-day, thanks to the effort Of
the Jury to properly drain the
public roads. that these are all
better than for years back, and
are in condition to be further
improved with the outlay Of
comparatively small capital.
Recently, the Jury disposed Of
$40. 10000 Of Good Road Bonds.
Of this amount 100000 has
been set aside for the Wyche
and Burke Station Roads. and
$5,5O0W expended in the pur-
chase Of an Austin Ditching
Machine; a few dollars more have
gone for necessary expenses con-
nected with the floating Of the is
sue and for urgent road work;
40 that the available funds now
on hand for the furtherancc Of
our projects are approximately
$24. 10000.
Believing IL TO be the desire Of
this Jury to utilize this money to
the greatest advantage to the
entire Parish, have saught the
adoption Of some plan which
would accomplish this. With
this in view, / have invited sug-
gestions and discussed PROPOSE

men, but with every citizen whom
| have found to be interested III
this an important subject. The
result of my labors | NOW submit
To- YOU in the following plan,
which to me, appears the most
feasible to secure the reuet
which we seek.
| would, in the first place, On.
vide the Parish into three road
districts: The 1st, to consist OF
that section of the 9Th Ward,
West of Bayou Teche and of the
lst and I'd Wards; the I'd District
to be made of the 18th and 9TH
Wards and the Ord District to be
the Bird and 4th Wards and that
portion of the 9Th Ward East OF
Bayou Teche. The 9th Ward, |
would not include in any OF the
road districts. This being the
central ward and the locality OF
the County seat, all main roads
to be first worked would lead
thereto; aud its roads being in
fairly good condition now, it
would entail but little exertioa
or expense to maintain them to a
point 70 connect with thossflead-
ing from other sectionsss
Next, I w6fid assign the ditch
ing maeliine, by lot, to the diff
ferent districts to be employed
in each for limited time, say
three months, | would then Sc
cure the services of competent
engineer and road superintendent
whose duties would be to make
plans and specifications and draw
levels for all necessary drains
or the public roads, to superin-
tend all road work and ditching
done for account Of the Parish
and when not so occupied, to
make surveys and abstracts OF
all property, with view of OBJ
tanning a correct Parish map. The
services Of such man, ] believe
could be secured at moderate
anst IN tho Parish
