or at reunions of United Confederate’
Veterans were adopted by the United
Daughters of the Confederacy, In con
vention here. The resolutions were ln-
troduced by Mrs. Carrington Mason,
S resident of the Sarah Law chapter, of
[emphls, Tenn. She offered them, she
said, In behalf of more consideration
for th# veterans. Reunions, she said,
apparently are no longer for the enter,
talnment of the veterans, but rather for
tho entertainment of the sponsors and
maids of honor.
The Georgia division reported that
subscriptions are pourlilr In for i
monument to Keeper Wire, of tho An
dersonvllle prison, who was convicted
and hanged without trial by Federal
authority, and who was "
vindicated.
protests were many and the answers
were caloric.
P. F. Smith was the first to voice his
protest. He said he owned 400 feet on
Rhodes street, that he had bought for
manufacturing purposes, and that If
the company Is allowed to permanent
ly close the street, as planned, the land
would be useless for that purpose,
“Suppose It was.Peachtree street the
company wanted to cloee,” exclaimed
Mr. Smith, “how long would you con
sider- It? Y'et, haven’t we the same
rights as the property holders on
Peachtree? The conduct of the com
pany so far Is Impudent. It's mon
strous. They haven’t even shown com-
mon decency.
“No Right to Condemn.”
They claim the right to condemn
property. Only a railroad can con
detpn. property. This Isn’t any rail
road. The whole outfit Isn’t but three
miles long. I dare the company to
show me a car, an 4iglno, or a con
ductor. They haven’t even got a wills-,
tie.”
Mr. Vlsanska, representing Iaiuls'Ro-
senfeid, says the petition Is Inaccurate;
that the company claims to have
bought certain property on Mangum
street. Which has belonged to his client
for thirty-five years. He said he In
tended to prove In the courts that
the Gate City Terihlnal Company was
not a railroad and could not condemn
property. He also showed an order
from Judge Pendleton restraining the
company from condemnation proceed
ings against his client's property.

HARRIET ISLAND IN THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER ON WHICH ST. PAUL HA8 ESTABLSHED A PUBLIC PARK AND PUBLIC BATHS.
By C. E. FOLSOM.
This summer In the month of August,
while spending a few days In the city
of St. Paul. Minn., I took occasion to
examine Into the public comfort ar
rangements of that city, not only for
my own Information, but in order to
report on same to the Atlanta Socio
logical Society, nt the Instance of .Dr.
Klme.
St. Paul’s experience, and the re
sults attained. In arranging public play
grounds and public baths, with the lo
cation of same Immediately adjacent to
the business district, has been partic
ularly happy. The absence uf Inex
pensive places of diversion, ln the
down-town district In Atlanta—where
the Influence Is thoroughly good—Is so
obvious that a consideration of the
needs and prospects of procuring such
things here should lie quite apropos,

lously low.
Two Cents for a Bath.
Would you enjoy a bath? Go to the
cashier's office nml buy a bath check—
none of the attendants handle any of
the money spent here. For this check
a bath house attendant will supply you
a cake of soap, a towel and a bathing
suit. I did not say wjmt you paid for
all these ucroutcrnients of the bath—
It was 2 cents. However, you urc only
entitled to use the public dressing room
at this price. This room Is utilised by
some of the newsboys and by street

for more seclusion, if so. you may eti

locker for your clothes. Special priv
ileges always come high. In this case
the price is more • than doubled—you
are charjcd 5 cents.

some of the publlr comforts In vogue
In Buropeun cities. In St. Paul, the
majestic Mississippi runs through the
city and Immediately past the busi

three blocks from the river. In the
stream at this point Is n narrow low-

Mr. Arkwright delivered an Impas

tempt was being made to hold up the
company.

Ohage, nt the Island employees' eating
house. I noticed how wholesome und
well-prepared were all the viands. All

health department.
We now came to that ever-recurring
question—tlmt grating question of the
unesthetlc, utilitarian American clti-
xen: Does It j«iy? Is It not n good In
vestment for St. Paul?
Firxt Seaxon Showed Profit.
The Island Park wna conducted the
1 first year nt Dr- Ohage's personal risk
and expense. The close of the season
showed a profit of 115.12. thus demon
strating the project to l>e self-sup
porting. The ensuing year saw public
apathy changed to condrete Interest.
Publlc-sjilrtted cllixcii# contributed lib
erally ntfil school children, at a penny
each, raised some seven hundred dol
lars; a total of twelve thousand dol
lars’ worth of Improvements wore paid
for.and the whole turned over to the
city, free of debt.
The total number of those who. the
first year, patronised the public baths
alone was 236,018 persons. It Is esti
mated that at least five Individuals visit
the grounds to every one who uses the
hath privileges. Thus those who en
joyed the park numbered over n mil
lion. The past summer, up to August
23—the last day of my visit—the psl-
rons of the baths had reached the num
ber of 243,746. The day before (Au
gust 23) the number using the hatha on
that one day were 7.057; 2,050 of whom
were women and girls.
Ill-Conduct Infrequent
While spending nn uftemoon nn the
Island In company with Assistant
Health Commissioner F. W, Dames, I
remarked on the orderly conduct und
seeming good fellowship of the large
number of boys who were enjoying the
use of the outdoor gymnasium. Mr.
Dames Informed me that uncivil con-
duct or the Infraction of uny of the
rules of the resort, on the pnrt of the
hoys, was extremely rare; und thut tin-
only punishment meted out to the of
fender.was to simply bullish him from
the pork for u few days, The very furl
that such punishment proved effective
Is evidence of tho popularity of the
public play grounds tn the minds of the
boys. Indeed, t'lilef Probation Officer
A. L. Graves told me that a noticeable
