said. There are great many lole men
in Fresno now. We have received letters
from there saying that the town is over
flowing with idle people. We did pig
business for the Fresno section last year
We sent several thousand men there. we
think that the demand for helm from thls
city will be as great this year.
Mr.. Ward Of r. Z. Ward & Co., said !:
1--WE supplied Fresno vineYardists with 800
or 800 men last year. and we have received
inquiries from the parties we supplied then
and also from several other ylneyardlsts,
who | suppose have been employing chi
nese. One of the letters received by us Is
from the owner of a large vineyard who
said that he thought his grapes would
be ready to pick about the 20th OF this
month. as they were ripening rapidly. The
others mentioned September / as the day
for beginning picking. The rate of 81 a
day and found is little enough, since the
men from here have to pay fare both ways.
That is So going and So coming back, and
as they will not have work longer tina n two
months on an average they will not return
with much money. Lastyear lie EN- ploy-
ers advanced the fare fer about $50 man
sent byus 1t is probable thatthey will not
do so this year. as they can get men without
doing them that favor. East year we were
able to fill all orders: and this year there Is
double the number of icie'm men that we

really enough work then for those who

CHOLERA AT NAPLES.
Many Immigrants Are Preparing to Leav
There For America

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Surgeon General
Wyman received the following dispatch
from Assistant Surgeon G. b. Young OF the
Marine hospit al service, stationed at Naples:
Cholera prevails. Condition is WORSE A large
number Of immigrants are preparing for Amer
lea Isolation on shore is impossible. Authori-
ties refuse to permit detention ON board Pas
EenGers are transferred from train To ship, and
isolation on the way imperfect.
To this dispatch DIR. Wyman has sent
the following answer:
Refuse bill Of health unless all regulations
are complied with. Inform companies fun fine
will be imposed without the bill
So long as cholera or other contagious or
infectious epidemic disease prevails in Ma
pies or its vicinity the marine hospital
service will not permit immigrants from
that port to land in this country unless
steamsh' p companies comply with the reg
ulations for safety issued by the secretary
OF the treasury. As these regulations re
quire the erection of barracks in houses in
which intending immigrants must be
maintained for five days prior to sailing
and the disinfection Of clothing and effects
of immigrants, it is not probable that the
United States will have any immigrants
from Naples for some time to come
Speaking of the matter, DIR. Wyman said
The facilities for carrying out the treas
ury regulations do not exist at Naples. aud
the bills of health therefore cannot be
granted and ships cannot bring immi-
grants

YOUNG WOMEN USHERS.
A Novel Scheme to Be Tried In

DESIGNED TO ATTRACT YOUNG MEN

Pastor Fray Thinks That with Girls to
Show Them Seats the Boys VIII Come
Inside Instead of Waiting the Steps
Outside Tonight There VIII lie n Trial.
New YORK, July 26-The Duryea Pres
hyterian church, in Clermont avenue,
Brooklyn, is just now in the throes of a
social problem. The pastor. Rev. John f
Fray, has grappled with the question in a
muscular fashion. which does credit to
both his head and his heart, and he thinks
he has arrived at n practical solution.
The problem is simply this: How shall
we proceed to get the young men of the
Duryea Presbyterian church to take an
active part in the services and how shall
we break them of the pernicious habit of
arriving on the church curbstone Just as
the minister is pronouncing the benedic-
tionl
The matter came up for discussion at an
Informal meeting of the Young Peoples
association of the church last Sunday even
Ing.
All hands agreed that the young ladies
did all the work in the church and were in
variahly in the majority at the various ser
vices of a purely devotional character. 1t
was sorrowfully admitted that sociables
and strawberry festivals were popular with
the young men and that they would attend
them and enjoy the practice.
Then DR.. Fray surprised the large and in
telligent audience of ladies present He
asked them to aid him in bringing the
young men into the churCh's devotional

They Were not, of course. to show anx-
