WERE EASY VICTIMS.
Donaldsonville Defeats Houma by a
Score of II to 8.

The Houma baseball team OF
Houma crossed bats with the Donald
sonville Greys at the fair grounds
here last Sunday in the presence OF
large crowd of fans. The visitors
were no match for the local boys and
the game proved a one-sided affair
from beginning to end and resulted
in a score Of II to 8 in favor of the
home team. Watson pitched for the
locals and the visitors were unable
to connect with his twisting curves.
He could no doubt have shut them
out altogether had he wanted to.
There was much disappointment
manifested over the poor showing
made by the visitors.
Tomorrow the Donaldsonvllle
team will go to Houma to play re-
turn game with the team of that
city. The latter seem intent upon
recovering their defeat of last Sum
day, as they have signed Grove
Cleveland Mathis, star pitcher Of the
Walkovers and former Texas League,
who will hurl the ball for them at
tomorrow's game.

Burnside Notes.

There remains only 1000 feet to
gravel to complete the road from
barrow to the st. James line,
minus one mile, skipped on ccount
Of new levee. The concrete cul-
verts from Hope Villa to the lower
end Of the Jefferson highway in As
cension are finished. Pending the
crawling Of one mile, or until the.
levee is built, it will be necessary for
the police juror Of the. ward to keep
the adirt link in good repair.
Matters political in the state, like
the weather, are getting hot and
hotter. The lieutenant governor
asked the president pro tempore Of
the senate to play governor during
his absence in Texas; the said presi-
dent did not propose to sign death
warrants; appoint constables and no-
taries public while he was to exercise
the functions Of chief executive, but
proceeded to do something heroic and
patriotic-for the public good. His
good intention "died bornin.'
One of the two actors in the. play
must feel sheepish.

STREETS SHOULD BE REPAIRED.

The bitulithic pavement in Rail-
road avenue and Mississippi street
has become so badly broken up I'M
der the weight of constant heavy
traffic that unless steps are taken to
repair the damage already done and
to curb the strain to which these
thoroughfares are being subjected, it
is only question Of time when their
usefulness will come to an end.
These streets were paved at a
heavy cost to the city and taxpayers,
and for years proved a great boon
to the public. But during the past
few years, the surface has been
wearing out and giving way at diff
ferent places, leaving holes which
have grown gradually larger and
deeper, until today, in some blocks,
the breaks and holes are SO numer-
Gus that traffic must necessarily be
very slow.
To properly repair these streets
would no doubt involve heavy out
lay of money; an outlay perhaps be-
yound the present financial means of
the municipality; but the repairs will
have to be made if the investment
represented by this pavement is to be
preserved, and the longer the work
| is delayed the greater will be the
damage and the greater the cost Of
repair.
This matter is of sufficient i'm
portance to warrant most serious
consideration on the part of the city
authorities, and ways and means
should be devised to repair these
streets before their condition be-
comes hopeless.

No Extra Session.

An unsuccessful attempt was made
by Senator E. M Stafford of New
Orleans to call an extra session OF
the legislature. Governor Pleasant,
who is absent from the state, refused
to issue the call. Tuesday, Senator
Stafford, who is president pro tenn OF
the senate, believing that Lieutenant
Gov rnor Mouton was also away,
went to Baton Rouge and presented
to Secretary of State J. J. Bailey a
prod hmation converting the general
asset hbly in extra session. Fourteen
subjects were embraced in the call
Mr.. BAILEY declined to sign the
document in the absence of positive
proof that the lieutenant governor
was absent. Upon investigation II
was learned that Mr.. Mouton was in
the state and therefore Mr.. Stafford
was-yithout authority to issue the
call. The proclamation was with
drawn. There will be no extra SEES
sion unless one is ordered by Cover
nor Pleasant upon his return.
