A SPLENDID Lecture.

A large and appreciative audience
greeted Jos. E. Morcombe, the dis
tinguished orator Of Storm Lake,
Iowa, when he appeared in the lodge
room of the Masonic Temple Mon
day night of last week, to deliver an
address on "The Evolution and Pres
ent Place Of Freemasonry.'' Mr..
|Marcombe, who is the editor OF the
American Freemason, is an able and
eloquent speaker, and throughout his
lecture held the audience spellbound
by the force of his eloquence. His
laudatory references to President
Wilson and the part taken by the
Americans in the great war, elected
much applause The lecture proved
a genuine treat to all those who had
the good fortune to hear it.
While here Mr.. Marcombe paid a
very much appreciated call at the
Chief Office. His visit was doubly
welcomed because of the fact that
Mr.. Marcombe is himself newspa-
per man.

STORE ROBBED AGAIN.
Thieves Break INFO Building and
Garry Away $500 Worth of Goods.

For the second time within three
months the Banner" store OF the
Fashion Company, situated at tne
corner of Railroad avenue ana w II n
lams street, one block from the
& P. passenger depot, has been
burglarized The burglary occurred
sometime last night. The thlef OF
thieves effected an entrance INTO tne
building by breaking the large snow
window Of the millinery department
facing Railroad avenue, and MADE
their escape through back door OF
the establishment, which was 1ouno
open.
A. Bloch, president Of the corpora
ton which owns and operates the
istore, was apprised OF the fopDefy
by .neighbor, who called hlm up by
telephone at 6:30 o'clock this morn
ing and informed him that the large
glass show case window OF his store
was broken Mr.. Bloch hurried 70
the place, and upon investigation
found things in considerable disorder
in his store. He and the other mem
bers Of the firm made a careful eS,
animation Of the situation, ana
found that fourteen men $ suits, sew
eral suit cases, many pairs OF shoes
and considerable jewelry were miss
ing, the value of which is estimated
iat about $500.
! Every effort has been made to ap-
prehend the culprits, but SO faf no
clue to their identity has been DIS
covered. This same store was broken
into about three months ago, and
$40O worth of merchandise was car
ried away No part of these goods
was ever recovered nor were the
thieves captured. Mr.. Bloch strong
ly suspects that last nights robbery
was committed by the same persons:
who perpetrated the first crime, and
who, he believes, were embolden by
the success of their first effort to try
their hand at the game a second time
On the occasion of the burglarles
committed at the Banner and New
Orleans Bargain stores some months
ago, the Chief took occasion to sug
igest that better night police protec
ton should be given to the business
section of the city. Last nights
bold burglary is strong argument
in favor of the suggestion made, a
that time, and should be given promD
attention by the city authorities
Either the burglars must be put be
hind the bars, or close watch KEEP
so as to make it impossible for then
to ply their trade.

Nav Revive Base Ball.

A movement is ON foot having for
it's object the revival of base ball, a
sport which held sway in this city in
the good old days Of the past, and
which attracted to Donaldsonville
large crowds of people from the sur
rounding country. A list is being
circulated by Louis Denino, the Mis-
sissippi street barber, among the
business men and lovers Of the game
soliciting contributions to fund to
be used in defraying the expense of
organizing and equipping team.
Several hundred dollars have already
been subscribed. Henry Dugas, a
we'll known rice planter of the fourth
ward heads the list with 5000. His
brother, Alcee Dugas of this city,
SefSfhes next with $50 Besides these
the names of several business men
appear for handsome sums, and the
present indications are that no diff
ficulty will be experienced in financ-
ing the proposition. Base ball is q
sport which is both interesting and
exciting and there are many en-
thusiastic lovers of the game in Don
aldsonville and the adjacent country
who would be delighted to have the
national game revived here. To be
successful, however, the team must
be organized with first-class players,
otherwise the enterprise will be
doomed to failure. Big crowds will
turn out to witness good ballplaying: !:
but to insure good playing the per-
sonnel of the team must be of the
highest order of excellence. An
other important matter is that OF
A competent manager
will make success, but under in
control, nothing but dis
appointment can be expected. These
are made in the kindliest
spirit, and based upon sincere de-
sire to insure the success u the en-
serprise, which everyone knows will
mean a great deal to this city.

A GOOD ORDINANCE.

At a recent meeting of the COM
council, an ordinance was in
troduced having for its object the
protection Of the bitulithic pavement
in Railroad avenue and Mississippi
street from destruction by tEe traffic
of heavy iron-wheeled tractors. The
ordinance makes it unlawful to drive
tractors or other heavy iron-wheeled
machines or vehicles, having on the
circumference of their wheels lugs,
spikes, fins or other mechanical de-
vices for traction purposes, whether
propelled by motive power or other
wise, in Railroad avenue or Missis-
sippi street, or any other street
which may hereafter be paved with
asphalt or bitulithic. Each viola
ton of the ordinance is made punish
able by fine of from SIS to $25, or
Imprisonment not exceeding thirty
DAYS, or both at the discretion of the
court. The ordinance was allowed
to lie over until the next meeting 1or
final disposition.
1t is very much to be hoped that
this law, which is an exceptionally
good one, will be adopted at the next
meeting of the council and that it
will be strictly enforced after its
adoption. These two streets We're
paved only few years ago, at great
expense to the town and taxpayers
and the heavy traffic to which they
were subjected before the advent OF
the ponderous iron-wheeled machines
damaged them considerably, by caus
ing depressions and breaks and hole:
| in the pavement in very many places
These holes can be filled and The
breaks repaired, and the former
smoothness of the surface of tn.
pavement restored to some extent
but should the heavy iron-wheelee
machines be permitted to continue
the use of these streets, not only will
repair be made impossible, but it il
only question of time when there
will be no more pavement left eithe
to use or repair. By all means, le
the ordinance be adopted, and let i
be enforced when it becomes law.

/. U-BoAT FIGHTERS PASS.
Flotilla of Ships and Flying Machines
Given Noisy Greeting Here.

The 1otilla of ships and flying ma
chimes of the kind used against the
German U-boats in the great war,
which arrived in New Orleans on the
I22nd inst, passed Donaldsonvllie last
Tuesday on its way up the Mlssls-
sippi river and its tributaries. 1t IS
being sent by the navy department
on a trip through the rivers OF the
great middle west to give the people
of that section an opportunity TO have
a close view of the vessels, guns and
equipment which the navy used IN
clearing the sea Of the enemy sub
marine. The fotilla consists Of the
III. S. S. Isabel, destroyer type; !;
the submarine KS, three submarine
chasers and three flying boats, all OF
which. with their officers and crews
| have seen active service in the war
zone.
The three flying boats, travelling at
high rate of speed and at distance
of about 1000 feet above the ground,
and following the course Of the river,
passed at about $3.50 o'clock on their
way to Baton Rouge, where they
made their first stop. The noise
made by their propellers could be
heard miles away, and attracted
great interest and curiosity all along
the route. AS they approached the
CITY the whistles of the boats IN the
harbor footed greetings.
Shortly after O'Clock in the at
! ternoon, the first division OF de-
stroyers, submarine and chaserss
rounded the Hermitage point and
hove in sight. Their coming was ex-
pected and was awaited by large
number of people who gathered on
the levee to see the plucky little sea
fighters go by. As they neared the
city every boat and craft in the river
whistled hearty greetings. The yes
sells, although small, presented
formidable fighting appearance as
they plowed slowly through the wa,
ters Of the great river, following one
behind the other as in battle array
The LAST of the boats passed at
o'clock psssn, and were accorded the
same noisy greeting as the first.
i These ships together with the fly
ing boats will go up the Mississippi
and it's tributaries, stopping oni!
); when necessary to secure fuel, pro
visions, ETC., and on their return vii
make stops at every city, town ane
Village along the river, to be seen ant
inspected by the people.
/ This is the first time that fiotills
of this kind has ever ascended Thu
Mississippi river, and it is needles
to say that on its return people from
far and wide will flock to its stopping
places to secure a close view of thes'
wonderful fighting machines. Ampl'
notice will6be given of the time O
the return Of the vessels with tn!
: places where they will stop and tn
: date and hour of their arrival.

Welcome dears Ascension boys,
Our hearts go out to you,
Since we have found you a >--o true,
You gave up your all for freedom 5
So now We greet you with loud ap-
plause. :,
You have shown what red blood
flowed in your veins.
So much so, that it checked the
kaiser's reign,
We little know the strife you've
Seen,
Altho' it was our hopeful dream, =,
That some day back to US you
come,
With scores of honors won.
Sons of Ascension, brave and true,
Nav ever our memory be with you,
For YOU have gallantly proven
yourselves to be
AS stauuch as other heroes who nave
set nations free.
Each day brings back to our shores,
One or more of our noble heroes,
And still others remain across the
Their every thought of mother and
- home.
nsys the day shall soon dawn once
more,
When all shall be reunited as OF
yore,
And braves Of Ascension, when you
are old and gray,
Then shall we be proud again to
nail you as veterans OF the
fray.
But those of you who have SO nobiy
gave your life,
In this great struggle OF human
strife, ,.
Tho sleeping under the lilies OF
France,
You shall always be alive IN oul
remembrance.
And mothers of Ascension,
Who so nobly gave your sons,
Be proud that they died defending
Just and noble cause,
That protected humanity all.
And let US remind you,
That our prayers all, shall be fol
your patriots true,, =,
Who so gallantly responded to th'
call.
Once again, welcome, dear Ascen
sion boys, welcome!

upon and nine new applications were
received. A special meeting will be
held next Monday to receive addi-
tional applications. Preparations for

cations are that the event will prove
one of the grandest of its kind in the
history of the council.

River Rising Rapidly.

The rapid rise Of the river during
the past several days and the high
stage which the water has reached
has enabled the rice planters along
the stream to close down their pump
ing plants and to operate their sy,
phons without the aid of pumps. This
means a big savings to the planters
as the expense connected with pump,
ing water for irrigation usually
amounts to a considerable item OF
cost in the production of the crop
The water has not attained a danger
Gus stage, however, nor is it believed
that it will reach height sufficient
to cause apprehension for the safety
of the levees.
