That the greater part of the vast
army of Immigrants which will come
to America during the next five years
will distribute Itself Over tbe agricul
tural states of the South and South
west and there found a new race of
sturdy, progressive Americans, Is the
prediction made by Friedrich von
Pills, a director of the North German
Lloyd Steamship Company and one of
the world’s experts on the subject of
immigration, says the New Tn-k Her
ald.
Throughout the continent of Europe
the word has been spread, he asserts,
that the cities of America, particularly
New York and Chicago, are now filled
to overflowing with foreigners, and
with It has gone the tidings that tbe
great agricultural states like Texas,
Missouri, Mississippi and Louisiana
hold out golden promises to the rugged
alien whose life dream is a home of
his own and enough acres to provide
a comfortable livelihood for his fam
ily.
As managing director of the steer
age department of his steamship line,
Mr. von Plils for more than a year has
been Conducting a campaign of educa
tion In the European countries which
contribute to the Immigrant horde. He
has sent agents into ■ the centres of
population to tell the people that
American cities offer few advantages
to the foreigner, because they are al
ready filled to overflowing, and has
pointed out the opportunities in the
great agricultural commonwealths
which, In many partB -are Btlll In a
state of undevelopment; American
consuls, he says, have aided In this
work of education, and hundreds of
thousands of letters from foreigners
in America have opened the eyes of
the restless Europeans. What should
now be done, he says, to carry the
plan to fulfillment 19 for the several
states which are anxious for imml.
grants to settle In them and work their
farms, to establish bureaus In New
York, enlighten the newcomers and
direct them.
Mr. von Pills Is now in the South
making inquiries concerning those, sec
tions which are most advantageous to
the foreigners. He will return to New
York in a week or ten days and will
then depart for Germany to put into
full operation the scheme he Is per
fecting. Although young In years, be
ing hut 32, his long connection with
the great steamship company and his
previous service with the German gov
ernment as colonizer for Eastern
Prussia have made. him one of the
foremost authorities on immigration.
“America may always expect to re
ceive a big army of Immigrants from
Europe," he said, "bat not 1,00'0,000 a
year. The high water mark has been
reached. Last year established what
probably always will he the record, al
though 1906 will see but a slight fall
ing off. There were plenty of causes
for the remarkable exodus from Eu
rope last year and for the continued
outpouring of the first few months of
1906. In the first place, the failure of
the crop In Hungary In 1904 caused a
great many Hungarians to migrate to
America, and the lack of settled gov
ernment aided. The chief cause, how
ever was the political disturbances In,
Russia. But conditions have righted
themselves In a large measure now,
and henceforth there will be 'but a
steady, healthy flow of Europeans to
American shores.
“So successful has the service to
Texas proved that I shall recommend
on my return the establishment of a
new line to New Orleans, this being
the gateway to the great agricultural
stateB of Louisiana, Georgia, Missis
sippi and Alabama. Nowhere so much
as In the Southern states should there
be a desire to turn the streams of Im
migration Into the South. Those
states need good farmers aild hun
dreds of thousands of them will arrive
In America in the next few years. We
have educated the prospective Immi
grants as well as we could and shall
make every effort to direct them to the
regions where they are needed and
where they can reside with most profit
to themselves,, and I would suggest
that the various states establish bu
reaus In New York and other ports of
entry to aid in the work. Much could
be accomplished In this way.
“I would say, however, that the next
flood will come from the German dis
tricts of southern Russia, Roumanla,
Bulgaria and Hungary, and they will
be tbe kind of people that America
ought to welcome with open arms, the
^type of rugged manhood that add*
Strength to any state. The people who.
are now turning their eyes to America.
are agriculturists, and I fully expect
to see a great exodus of them to your
shores. Some will go to South Amer
ica, but the great mass will Btrlke out
for America, and their destination will
not be the centres of population. They
will want to cling to their occupation
that qf tilling the soil. The German
residents of ths countries I have
named are powerful men, of exem
plary habits, and their Idea of success
In life Is to have homes of their own
and to rear healthy families.
“These people would be a boon to
the South. They are accustomed to
temperature and soli much the same
and would bring about an almost mag
ical development of the great area
whloh now laoks proper, cultivation.
They are natural farmers and hard
workers. They will Btart a new race
In the South—will be the real pio
neers. Twenty years from now I con
fidently predict America will be glad
she left her doors'open and pointed
the way to the land of the cotton
fields.”
“Dixie.”
From the New Orleans Times-Demoornt.
In the music of the song “Dixie"
there Is a subtle something which
touches the emotions of human kind
more quickly than any other song we
know, a fact again emphasized yester
day when Miss Mollle Blanchard sang
It during the early part of the program
of the Confederate Veterans, “Amer
ica," eloquent, lyrical and majestic,
had been sung; '’The Bonnie Blue
Flag,” Instinct with lofty fervor and
patriotism; “Way Down Upon the
..Sewanee River,’,’ and “My Old Ken
tucky Home,” and "Listen to the
Mocking Bird," and "Maryland, My
Maryland,” all these had been worthily
sung; but it remained for "Dixie” to
stir the depths of emotion and fill the
vast auditorium with an outburst of
pasBlon and enthusiasm not to. be
equaled again perhaps during the pro
gress of these Interesting and Impres
sive ceremonies. There are more ma
jestic anthems, yet, in the light of mu-
slcal history, It may be doubted
whether notes, purposes and power
considered, have ever been more clev
erly welded.
The author seems to have abstracted
the musical characteristics of the
Southern people when he composed
this masterpiece, and It seems, too,
that he welded Into the fabric at the
same time a breadth of Bplrlt and a
certain elemental virtue designed to
make It popular and Inspiring no mat
ter where, or under what circum
stances it may be sung. "Dixie” may
no longer be regarded as a musical
provlnclaljsin; it Is not merely an
■American tune relying for whatever
popularity and permanence It may en
joy upon memories growing out of the
clash and conflict which called it Into
being; It Is a world classic. Viewed
artistically, It Is a break perhaps from
the sedate forms of the masters; but
It Is human, and being human It is
genuine, and being genuine It must
endure.
Perhaps the popularity of the song
is due precisely to this differentiation.
There Is even in the most highly de
veloped human beings Bomewhat of
the primitive man, a kind of anarchy,
If you please, which scorns the rigidity
and nlc'eness of forme. Dante and
Goethe and Shakespeare wrote for hu-
.manlty rather than for the scholars of
their own countries apd the time In
which they lived. They have endured,
and must still endure, for this reason.
“Dixie” has In it somewhat of th(s
element of universality, and hence Its
popularity has increased with time and
must continue to increase.

A scientist says of, a waterspout
passed over a certain district In France;
“Its passage was accompanied with a
sound which Is described as . resem
bling that of a battery of artillery
drawn ou the gallop over a paved
street At the base of an exteu&gJL
nimbus hung the reversed couo charac
teristic of .pheuomenn of tills kind.-A
strong wind was then blowing from
the Bouth-soutbwest. The waterspout
was preceded by a storm and followed
by a shower."
Mr. S. L. Bowen, of Wayne, W. Ya,
writes: “I was a sufferer from kidney
disease, so'that at times I could not
get out of bed, and when I did I could
not stand straight I'took Foley's Kid
ney Cure. One dollar bottle and part
of the second - cured me entirely."
Foley’s Kidney Cure works wonders
where others are total failures.

Tber Needed the Money.
A freight steamer once came Into
Mnrlopok a port on the sea of Azov,
which had among Its cargo 100 pieces
of machinery numbered "M.” from 1 to
100. When the-pieces were unloaded
it was found that No. 87 was missing,
hat two pieces numbered' 1» showed
that there had been an error, the final
taliy being'correct But the custom
officials did. not take this view of the
matter, the port being In need.pt foods,
so they fined the ship 600 rubles for
being short of cargo as per manifest—
namely, No. 87—and 1,000 rubles for
smuggling,' having two pieces num
bored 88 when the manifest called for
but one.—Caroline Lockhart In Llppin-

If anyone has any doubt .as to the
virtue of Foley’s Kidney Cure, they
need only to refer to Mr. Alvin H.
Stlmpson, of Wllllmantic, Conn., who,
after almost losing hope of recovery,
on account of the failure of so many
remedies, finally tried Foley’s Kidney
Cure, which he says was “Just the
thing” -tor him, as four bottles cured
him completely. He is now entirely
well and free from all the suffering In
