Pumping Plant to be Tested Tomorrow.At the quarterly meeting of the La-

fourche Basin Levee Board, held at

the Gretna courthouse on Thursday,it was decided to test the Lafourche

pumping station at Donaldsonville to-

morrow, and the process willbe con-

ducted under the direction of Prof.Gregory, of Tulane University. Ac-cording to the contract of the Atcha-falaya and Lafourche boards with J.H. Murphy, of New Orleans, builder ofthe station, the pumping capacityshould reach 51,000,000 gallons ofwater in twenty-four hours; but asonly four of the five syphons haveworked well, there is room fordoubt as to whether this condition hasbeen fulfilled. The result of tom orrow's test will therefore excite genera!interest, and the reputation of thecontractor assures The Chief that anypresent deficiencies in the plant thatmay be developed will be promptlyremedied.

At the Play.Salisbury's Moving Pictures were

the attraction at the Phoenix Sundayafternoon and night and pleased a

fair-sized audience at each perform-

ance. Views were shown of the Russia-

Japan war, the world's fair, the life of

an American fireman, a daylight bur-

glary, the queen's musketeers, a train

robbery, a balloon ascension, and a

variety of other subjects. The en-

tertainment is interesting and de-

cidedly refreshing. Manager Keating

arranged with Mr. Salisbury to play

a return engagement Wednesday night,but owing to the inclemency of the

weather the performance did not take

place."A Deserted Bride" held the boards

Monday night and was greeted by a

sparse audience. The company is

mediocre and the play is atrocious."A Chicago Tramp" is annhunced

for tonight and tomorrow night

"Other People's Money" will be the

bill. It will be remembered that those

who stayed away from "Weary Willie

Walker" because they made the mis-

take of judging the play by the name

missed one of the best shows of the

season, and anyone who passes up

tonight's performance for the same

reason is likely to regret having done

so. "Other People's Money" has

been seer here before and is known to

be an exceptionally bright and clever

comedy.Successful Hunters.

A party composed of Ned Leche,

George Mullet, Robert LeBlanc anud

Charles Dugas left here Sunday eve-

ning for Lettsworth, in Pointe Coupee

parish, where they spent Monday and

Tuesday hunting ducks and partridges,returning to Donaldsonville Wednes-day morning. The shootists baggedone hundred and eight partridges, twoducks, two doves and a rabbit, andstate that the trip proved extremelypleasant and enjoyable.
