SOUTHERN PACIFIC OFF,
GALS VISIT.

IN IueSuay evening AdSI
large number of the citizens OF
New iberia were invited to meet
in consultation at Hotel Frederic
with Messrs. Henry Mayo in
charge of the industrial develop
ment department, c. D. Fay, gen.
eral freight agent; Guy Hopkins,
superintendent of the Louisiana
Division and others of that great
freight and trunk line. The
meeting was called to order by
Mayor Fontelieu who introduced
Mr.. Mayo as the speaker of the
evening. The gentleman spoke
on the urgent need of emigration
to settle upon our lands and
explained to his listeners what
efforts were being made by the
Southern Pacific to meet. these
ends. He. also reminded his
hearers of the condition OF. the
great sugar industry and the
tariff effect on sugar culture IN
Louisiana. Among other things
said by him was that it is foolish
to say that the sugar planters OF
the State are not facing grave
crisis in their affairs, Or that they
can afford to sit still and allow
things to shape themselves with
out moving a hand in their own
defense. But though the situh-
ton is grave, it is by no means
hopeless. Indeed, just the re-
verse, for there is every reason
to suppose that with the exercise
Of common sense and a little grit
the planters of the State will pull
out of the present slough with
something to boot. The first
thing they will have to learn is
the benefits of planting other
crops than sugar and the develop
lnent of the natural resources of
tn. Stat. which are stupendous,
in the eyes of those
who have given them much
thought.
The assembly was also ad-
dressed by Mr.. Jules Dreyfns
and Hon. Henry N. Pharr Of
Olivier. Mr.. Pharr spoke on the
injustice done our section by
the North Louisiana advocates OF
Free Trade in not paying their
proportion of taxes and advised
that an effort he made to place
the lands of this section ON the
same basis OF assessment as exists
in the Northern portion of the
State. Our lands, he said are

ABOUT OURSELVES.

For some time it has been oul
purpose to change the style anc
size of The Enterprise from &
four to an eight page Journal Sc
a. TO meet the increased demands
for space from our advertisers
We had thought of doing so on
our anniversary, March LIST, but
the service required by the Par
ish, City, School Board and other
public bodies impelled us to
make the change at this time. In
doing so, it may not be amiss to
renew the course Of The Enter
prise. Established by the fear
less young Democratic leader, ).
B. Lawton in 1885, The Enter
prise began its career, pledged
to the moral and social uplift Of
the community and to the mate
rial welfare of the Parish; and
well did it perform its mission
under the management of its ag-
gressive and forceful editor.
When in 1902, Mr.. Lawton decid-
ed to remove to Orlando, Florida,
where he now resides, the present
editor consolidated The Enter
prise with that Of the Independ-
emit Observer which he had
launched about fifteen months be-
fore the change, and we have
striuen to follow the footsteps Of
our predecessor as near as we
could in an effort to give the citi-
zens Of New iberia q newspaper
worthy of the City. This task has
at times been hard and entailed
many privations; for in journal
ism as IN other fields changes oc-
cur, and a critical public demand
the improvements. These we have
sought to supply and we are
proud to say that to-day, the
equipment Of The Enterprise is
not surpassed by any newspaper
in South Louisiana, while it's job
printing facilities are more than
adequate to furnish its patrons
with first-class service. A
Linotype typesetting machine
has been installed in our Office at
q cost Of S., 500 permitting much
of our work to be done in less
time than was possible by the old
method Of setting type by hand.
In this present change we be-
lieye another improvement has
been effected which will be ap-
preciated by our readers. With
604 inches more space, we are en-
sbIed to better classify our read
ing matter and can now display
advertising to a better advant-
age. We trust many Of our mer-
chants will avail themselves Of
the opportunity to reach custom
gs through the best medium Of
fcred in this locality, and quit
frittering their money away for
and such other adver-
tising IN which they receive but
little benefit. In conclusion we
wish to thank our friends and
patrons for past support and to
again pledge ourselves to every
for tie advance Of the
community and the welfare Of its
people.

Helen took the pillow, which was
shedding charred feathers through the
blackened hole, and laid it on the Ii
brary table. Then she got out fresh
sheets, folded one over the burnt place
in the mattress, and they made up the
bed.

thrifty enough to have a painted house
he was pointed out as Mr.. WhitehOuse,

Names Derived From Official Positions.
Doubtless some of the names that
tell Of official position in early Eng
lish life were given in derisiOn to per-
sons who assumed the airs Of the Off
Gals whose titles they bear, but others
were true titles of office. In this list
we put Lord, Baron, Sheriff, Beadle,
who served the summons; ConstabIe
the chief judge in the court Of chiv-
airy; Bailey tbaliff), or Reeve, Wood
ruff wood reeve), Judge and Mace,
who carried a staff before the judge.
OF those connected with the estate
we may mention Ward (Watchman),
Parkman, Forester, Fowler, Messen-

Chamberlain, Cook, Carver, Sptcer,
Butler, Jester.
Church and state were then one and
as representatives Of its officials we
find Abbott, Monk, Priest, Sexton, who

out a handful of charred hair from

HH distinction Of being the
largest ship in the world is now
held by the S. S. Vaterland of the
neutrality-suspicious. line. While closely
resembling her famous sister ship, the
Imperator. the new queen OF the seas
exceeds her in all dimensions. The
Vaterland measures $50 feet, or nearly
five city blocks in length, 100 feet in
width and has Tonnage OF $4,000. The
leading decorators OF europe nave been
engaged TO design and furnish her
sumpCuOus cabins, each of which is d
masterpiece IN its decorative style. The
Naterland viii sail from Hamburg on
her maiden trip June 4, arriving in
New York on June IL.
The Naterland has many original fea-
lures. She is the first steamer ever
built with tunnels which do not pass
directly through the CenterS of the
decks Each OF her three great tunnels
divides in the form Of the letter ''Y"
at point beneath the lowest passen-
ger deck, and join again in a single
tube which rises above her UppermUSt
deck. The space occupied by the Ordi-
nary tunnels passing through the mid
die of the decks is thus LETT clear, and
the public cabins may thus occupy the
deck without obstruction. In addition
to the regular dining room, the Water
land has an elaborate RitZ-CarltOn
restaurant, a grill room, and a palm
garden. The main dining room OF the
RlrZ is built oval IN form, exactly re-
producing its counterpart in New York
City
The great social hall of the Water
land is even larger than the famous
bali room of the lmDerator, which has
attracted world wide attention This
sumptuous public cabin will be the
largest ever constructed on ShipbOard.
1t is rooted with glass. uninterrupted
by pillars or supports of any kind.
The elaborate swimming pool of the
Naterland and her various electric,
therapeutic, and other baths lend her
the attraction Of a great spa or bath
ing resort. The pool which reprOduces
a Roman bath extends through three
decks.
The smoking room of the Vaterland
is one of the largest and most luXuri-
Gus cabins ever devoted to the purpose.
1t mas been placed on an upper deck
onward, occupying the space usually
taken by the officers quarters, and eX-
tends the width Of the ship. The smOk-
ing room is, therefore, open on three
sides, thus assuring perfect ventilation
and excellent light.
The great size Of the Vaterland has
made il possible to make her state
rooms unusually COmmOdiOuS The Vat
erland is the first ship TO be built with
three pasSag eWayS running length
ways, which serve to supply every
starerOOm with abundant light and
fresh air.
The passengers on the Vaterland
have the choice of a great variety of
of ones own home throughout the
crossing. These suites vary IN size
from two to y rooms. They are fur
nished in n variety Of decorative styles
and color schemes to satisfy every
taste.
