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.
