FRENCH OPERA IN NEW ORLEANS
New Orleans, Sept. Is, 'O5.

New Orleans, Sept. Is, 'O5.
News has just reached this City
from Paris, that Impresarie Charley
has surrounded himself with the
nucleus of French Opera Company
of unusual merit.
The season will be opened with ex-
ceptional brilliancy. 1t is expected
that never in the history of this great
old institution of French Opera has
there ever been a season to surpass
and very few to equal it, even in the
days before the war, when it attained
the zenith OF its success
The information comes by cable and
M. Charley has given very briefly the
facts as to what has been done SO far.
The next steamer will probably
bring a detailed account telling who
the leading people Of his organiza-
ton will be.
One great advantage he has enjoyed
in contracting with the artists has
been that he has been able to offer
them more than they could receive at
home. This inducement, for the past
few seasons, has been diminished in
Importance by few failures which
left the impresaries unable to carry
out their contract to the full, but M.
Charley has had the advantage of
guaranteeing all the artists with
whom he has negotiated full season
as the price agreed upon, he being in
Paris merely as an employee repre-
senting q combination of the biggest
business men of this City.
His selections have been painstak-
ing since he left here three months
ago OH his mission, and he has given
all the intervening time to the work
His judgment has been ripened by
years of practical experience, and
there Is reason to believe that with
every advantage in his favor he will
return to justify fully the great an
ticipations that are being built on the
enterprise here. tFffs

In The KapIfh Times last week
quite ridiculns error was made by q

1pfs for a local company appeared

THE CITY HALL.

| Editor Enterprise:
1 noticed with much satisfaction il
the last issue Of the Enterprise, your
timely article on the condition Of the
City Hall. Permit me to say as one
of many that have frequent occasions
to visit the City Hall as we'll as con-
tribute to its rental, which also voices
the opinion of many of our citizens,
that it is shame that our City can
not at least boast of a clean and
better kept place, especially when it
is the property Of the people and SC
often frequented. g.
The building is one of the dirtiest
places in the City and is only scour-
ed when in nse for dancing purposes
and that has to be dons at the expense
Of renter. The walls are SO dirty from
smoke and dust that it is impossible
for lady to enjoy an evenings enter
tainment without becoming inoculated
WITH the filth. A few dollars worth
Of paint spread over the surface would
ada materially to the whole interior.
During the fall and winter the only
passage way to the gallery is used as
q coal binn and store room for all
discarded furniture, which is the only
suitable place in the building that the
ladies can use for a cloak room. Any
self respecting citizen is ashamed to
point out the building as their City
Hall, the front looks as if Texas cy-
clone had gone full force against its
front, the paint is SCALED off, glass
broken and the boards loose. Will
not the City administration look into
this much desired improvement and
relieve the situation, even if it is nee
essary to raise the rent few cents.
This building is the best paying in
vestment the City possesses, why let
it remain in it's present state when a
few dollars will put the place in re-
pair as we'll as sanitary condition,
and see that thes janitor keeps the
place clean.

gloves. We trust that every paper in
the State will take up this subject and
hammer away until we build up, o
sentiment that will compel recogni-

hold an insurance convention at some
convenient point, convention OF

under which we labor. 1t has been
stated that the author of the much
Wanted Haggerty Bill is also the
author of the new schedules, or Bu-
reau of rates, which bear SO heavily
on the insurer, in some case $50 and
200 per cent advance. If this be SO,
it should be at once exposed and all
parties thereto denounced as public
enemies and arrant hypocrites:
sit is matter of common know
ledge that the rates of insurance in
many towns in Louisiana are not only
high, but are exceedingly extortion-
ate. The insurance companies doing
business in this State should in some
way be regulated and not be permitted
to rob the people by. advancing the
rates to point beyond all sense OF
reasonableness and fair dealing.
The matter is of more Importance
than wesmaythink and is one that
should command the attention Of the
State Government The rates of iin-
sarance are so high and so very un-
reasonable in many of, oar towns
notably Plhqubmine, THAI the insur-
ance ac6mpanfHs doing business here

prominent place in the front row Of

E The attention of the proper officials
should be directed to this matter and

deeply into the matter

In conversation with Commissioners
Of Streets, Mr.. John Fisher, in which
the condition Of Main and st. Peter
streets was discussed. he stated that
he had exhausted all the material at
hand for the filling Of holes. etc.,
that the supply of bats was entirely
consumed and all had been done that
could be done with the material at
hand. The welcome statement was
made by Mr.. Fisher that it was the in
tention Of the Council at the earliest
possible time % thoroughly shell Main,

This is indeed agreeable news and
will be hailed with Satisfaction by
every one. With nicely shelled streets

held his breath, and stopped hauling
at his grapple for a minute, till he

Then: he pulled up slowly, and there

solemn vow never again to, fish: for

two were cured of their mania by
walking ten miles in the dust, smoke

Willamette, and then pulling boat
for hours, fishing for bass and never
getting even a bite. They are both

the slough is fished by farmers with
set nets every night, and the markets
supplied in this way, they put. their
fishing tackle, including new bait

One of the first things to impress
itself upon foreigner in Japan is the
popularity and the excellence of the
physical training given to Japanese
youth. They are race of miniature

nearly all modelled after American in

best in the schools of America, Eng

dents are not, of course, trained in

Hail New Sweet Cider!

Pour the libation on the altar, of
October. What more eloquent of the
ffuiting time of the year than the leg

lifetime.
If water is the ale of Father Adam,
sweet cider is the liquor of Father
Time. An exhilaration steals through
the brain. Memory unfolds visions
of awakening to life in rosy dawn fan
red by the! mildest March winds, of
the promise of the Eastertide crowned
with blossoms diffusing an incense on

Wnen woman cannot have the r1ux-Fe
ury OF an entire room for herself, it is
/ at 1 least e fair for, her to have corner
of the family sitting room for her y
own special use. A cozy nook, with 7
her favorite books within reach, q
comfortable lounging chair and per-
maps little table at any rate, a
place for her fancy work or writing
materials-all this is very delightful
and not altogether impossible for
small outlay of money and brains.
Where there is bow window or a
corner turret the rest is easily ar
ranged. E...s
Perhaps the most satisfactory cor
ner may be evolved where the win
doWs meet at right angles as in the
sketch. Here the curtains hang from
a valence that follows the angels of
the corner, the low shelves are filed
with books, while the top of the book
case is stand for plants in quaint
Dutch or Trentham ware pots. If
the sheWes are to contain anything
but books they might have small cur
tains to correspond with the other
draperies.
The draperies of such corner
must, of course, be chosen to accord
well with the rest of the apartment.
If for bedroom, from dainty muslin
to a f1owered cretonne indeed, any
bright and attractive design may be
chosen. II the walls have figured pa.
per it would be we'll to choose plain
corresponding color for the curtains,
with white muslin sash curtains at
the window.
IT the corner is taken from sitting
room or library it should have conven-
tional design on it's draperies. Turk
ish, perhaps, or Empire wreaths on
plain background, give cozy effect.
Or perhaps if the flower pots are
Dutch and the woodwork white, a
white cretonne valance and curtains
with< Delft-blue design, will be at
tractive.
