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 Wi 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. For sale by HUsman-Sale Drug Co. 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- cott's Magazine. More News 'from’the New England 8tatee. 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 cident to acute kidney trouble. For sale by HUsman-Sale Drug Co. Two ArchblMlioitn.
