from paish The reception given the first issue of Women's Enterprise was most gratifying to its founders and an intimation ofic way thatits WOM future promises. While it was known ing to do something of a the women of Baton Rouge were attemptifg to do 5omething of a public character few had an idea of the great amount of work of sum a public chand beneficiae nature performed by what has always been male a a public and beneficial naue teappearance of this paper. So the pa considered the weaker sex until the appearance So ucessful was the launching of the publication that the 2000 edi- measul tion ran out before three o'clock P. and had twice the number politict been printed all would have been purchased. Thus publicity was ence given to advertisements beyond the expectation of those who had thatn them inserted or even of thepublishers.

As was said in the first safe i issue three-fourthe or more of all purchasing is done by the fe- prevel males of the family and for that reason the columns of Woman's oftenii Enterprise has few equals as an 5dvertising medium. tion i The publisher takes this method of extending thanks to all those who contributed in making Woman's Enterprise the grand cuidE success it proved to be and will endeavor with their assistance to womn improve each and every issue. Women will be as successful in conducting this paper as they all have been in the many movements Inaugurated and carried outtop thatr by them. city, A SUGGESTION. this Few will be found in this city to disagree with the statement elap that the first or west square of the neutral ground oy Northe he Boulevard is anything but a credit to the city.

It is untidy in the thei extreme with walks in every direction and earth showing whereofield shrubs and flowers would be a pleasing sight. Strangers coming firsi from the depot are wt to judge our city by this, the first place tur renountered, and hundreds of visitors 'see the ugly place where sin one has an opportunity of visiting VictorY Park. wol This is not written in a spirit of fault-finding with the city othe Commission, as Woman's Enterprise is fully aware of the lack of thet inboome to devote to streets and squares. It knows that the city hr are doing their best with the limited means at their tic to keep the city in presentable condition; inothat the commissioners regret their inability to do more in the way of wi civic improvement; it knows that the Mayor, Judge and the few cii policemen the city is in financial position to maintain, are efficient in enforcement of city ordinances and doing their best under the circumstances. Of coure, there are those who criticize public of- di flcials without regard to time, plaee or circumstances, but these in are generally of the number who have a personal grudge against ci the authorities.

Fair minded men and women understand that it i takes money to keep up a city and the money is not forth coming at thisNo the suggestion is this: Rempve all benches to another block enlist the services of the ladies of the civic association and 1 gloe them ful charge swith Judge Benton to supply such labor as i may be nemessfull penalize all persons crossing the guound, conning theer to the side walks running along each side and withiti gix the siadre will be a thing of beauty and a credit to the eit instead of the ugly, untidy place it is now. It is thought that they who daily ccupay the benches around the monument re confederate veterans, but such is not a fact as btet one or two of the old soldiers are now to be seen resting be1Beth the monument erected to the' memory of their companions dtheseshould be plesed to see the monument amid beautiful fortheplroed ted over, ad the adie wil aeept the thdecided hane wIll be seen before the robins come again.

beitie the The fine hotel at Greenwell Springs with its forty-two bed- fir tn rooms, sixteen baths, artesian wells and mineral springs long un- occupied has come into limelight once again. This time a proposition to sell the property to the Anti-Tuberculosis League, is be- Get ing favorably considered and if funds can be had to make the e-sel Sfirst payment it is likely the sale will be consumated. st Greenwell Springs, so we learn from old citizens, was a most delightful resort for the people of this city years ago, with its waters of high medicinal reputation, its balls and other socialt amusement of summer guests of whom there ed functions for the edicinal virtue of the waters was known to the pu seemn.Ttler meiuna ad earliest settlers but it was not until 1853 that the owner of the nd property at that time, Mr Willim S. Pike, had an analis of the several springs made by a prominent chemist of Washington. an Pike then developed the property by causing the construction a ter commodious dining and dancing hall and quite a number of coter tages for summer boarders.

Here many of the elite of this section 1at gathered during the prevalence of yellow fever, a scourge appearing almost annually. During the civil war the placewas abandoned as a summer resort, its buildings removed and has remained so since. Some years ago the present owners established a finellow Jackethoof tel, equipped with all modern appurtenances but failed to draw sup-Jacket aref was kept beyond the boundaries of Louisiana it failed to draw supally port. des. Now, however, if the plans of the Anti-Tuberculosis League les.

Now hoeve, ifep ocuped. I'ht i isidealrief mature, the old place will soon again be occupied. That it is itdealPis- ly situated for the purposes designated none acquainted with its far location will doubt. The next session of the Legislature awill be asked to provide for its maintenance, but in the meantime anle ad.vanced payment of $10,000 must be provided thao close the sale andum. our police jury is asked to contribute $500 of that sum Whether the establishment of a colony of tuberculosis paan- tients at the Springs is advantageous to theparish or whether it is was better to allow the buildings to fall into decay is upto the police rple, jury to decide.

Perhaps in all Louisiana no place of equal advantages for the location of an institution of that char acter can be found. The curative properties of the waters of the several springs, the scent of the pines of the nighbOrhOod, the beautiful Amite watering the banks within a stone's throw of the hotel all combine to render the place an ideal one for the proposed purposes. 1o Not only would the springs be highly beneficial to the patiwise ents but the establishment of a home for the afflicted would as3ults sist in developing the resources of that section by providing a market for truck growers and farmers. The project, is a wise one from every stand-point and a matter in which the people of the paish should be generally interested. WOMEN SHOULD REGISTER AND have faile VOTE.
