THE OPERA HOUSE MOVEMENT,

Mr.. Editor wish to make u
statement to the citizens Of New
Iberia Of what some Of the bust
ness men have done so far and
what they hope will be accomplish
ed towards the erection Of a first
class Opera House for our City for
the next season. No one denies
the great necessity for such an in
stitution and the only question has
been how to raise the money to
erect a suitable building that will
conform to the present necessity
and the civic pride of New Iberia.
We see large excursions leaving
our City going to other places not
half the size Of New Iberia to enjoy
the Opera or Drama.
We are all agree that this should
not be, that our City offers too
many advantages for first class
Opera House not to have such an
institution here, and we should all
have sufficient local pride to take
such stock as our means will justify.
In presenting the advantages of
an Opera House have issued the
following prospectus:
New Iberia is the PaIish seat of Iberia
Parish, located on Southern Pacific Rail
road, 125 miles west of New Orleans and
on both sides Of the Bayou Teche.
Il had population of 6,sl5, according
to the census of 1900. The corporate
limits at that time were very contracted
and a large portion of the manufacturing
section was just outside the limits Since
then this territory has been annexed
which has increased the cities area and
greatly augmented its population. A
very conservative estimate of the popula-
ton at the present time would give the
City 10000. Another decided advantage
an Opera House would have is the fact
that New Iberia is surrounded by territory
and towns well peopled and would furnish
contributory population of $4,000 for
short and easy. excursions.
The following towns located around |
New Iberia are Jeanerette, 10 miles;
Loreauville, 10 miles; st. Martinsville, 10
miles; Abbeville, 81 miles; Lafayette, 10 |
miles. and many other smaller places. |
Branch railroads make it easy to excurs
sionists from most of these towns for
good performances.
WHAT is PROPOSED.
II is proposed to construct a building
on the site where the Opera House YVES
recently destroyed. The Land Is to cost
SIC, 600, haveing frontage of SO feet, on
Main street and an alley on both sides
running back full depth of property.
The building itself Is to cost $25, 900, on
ground floor to be approached in front
through an arcade Is to 90 feet wide, with
stores on either side. This will make a
tota investment of $35, 900, which is to be
FULLY subscribed and paid up and be non
lssessible.
RESOURCES.
II is estimated that the two or three
stores that will be in front OF the Opera
House will produce rental of 81, 100 per
year. 1t is estimated that the Opera
House viii have fifty attractions during
he season that will net $50, 90 each, max
ng $4,000. Estimating the receipts from

that many women tainted while the
men and boys became panic stricken
and ran from their seats.
In less than five minutes the dusty
diamond was covered with three to
four inches Of water and almost ev-
cry one who had seats in the bleach
ers was drenched to the skin. The
rain began just as Philadelphia had
finished their eighth inning and the
score was one to one. The storm did
not affect any other part Of Chicago
