Polish custom tailor named Andrew j. Green
keeps workshop and store ON Centre street,
two doors east of White street, and in one Of
the most conspicuous parts of the town, The
whole front of the store aud shop is made OF
large panes of glass, so that any one passing,
even on the opposite side Of the street, can
with little trouble see what is going on inside
Above the intersection of Centre and
White streets, and but few feet from the
front Of the shop is suspended a large arc
electric light, which illumina,es Centre
street for several yards east and west, and
White street, north and south.
Notwithstanding the prominent location Of
the shop, the f,ciliries for illumination and
means for psssersby to see what is going on
inside the burglars last night carried off over
two hundred dollars worth Of newly mad,
custom clothing.
When Mr.. Green's workmen went to tn,
shop shortly after o clock this morning they
found one Of the twin front doors unlocked
and q pane of glass in one OF them smashed
The doors had not been forced open. Tn,
breaking OF the glass enabled the burglars t,
put an arm through to the locks and bolts
When the workmen entered the shop the!
found the place almost cleaned out, so far a
clothing was concerned.
Mr.. Green said this morning that when tn
shop was locked last night three shelves an,
/ long rack were loaded with custom mad
clothing All that was left were two air q
blue uniform trousers with broad, red stripe
| down the sides. These we've no doubt LEI

detection of the burglars il carried of.
Several pieces Of valuable cloth were ais
carried off When asked what he estimate

Everybody knows what a picnic ia,
but most folks would End it hard to
say how ii got its name, and yet it
is simple enough when you come
to learn it. When a picnic was be-
ing arranged for the custom origi.
nally was that those who intended to
he present should supply the eata.
bles and drinkables. A list of those
necessities having been drawn up, it
was passed round and each person
picked out the article of food or
drink that he or she was willing to
furnish, and the name of the article
was nicked or licked off the list.
The open air entertainment thus be-
came known as "pi1 and nick"
The custom is said to have dated
from 1902, SO that the picnic is
wholly an institution Of the aiae'

forces, but the West offers an oppor.
tunity for securing immediate results
by the expenditure of q minimum of
energy and cash.
As regards the practical features
of the situation, we have only this
suggestion to make: Tell the people
of the West what the South offers
them-cheap lands that will raise a
wide range of crops, a delightful eli,
mate that is unsurpassed by any Sec
ton on this continent, and a ready
market for all that is produced.
Tell the Western people these
facts in specific terms, not mere gen.
eralities. but definite information
about what is now being done in the
South by the Northern and Western
people who have migrated thither.
There have been books and books
about the resources of the South and
statistics beyond measure, but what
the people OF the West now want to
know is what fruit lands are for sale
in Georgia, at what price, and what
they will yield in dollars and cents
under average conditions. They
want to know what opportunity
there is for planting rice in Louis.
lana and everything about it that is
needful for a beginner to know.
They want to know what an orange
grove in Florida will cost, and what
its crop is worth to the grower.
They want to know where in the
South cattle can be raised to best
advantage, what the pasturage costs
and what the cattle will bring. In
short, the people of the West, who
now are dissatisfied with their lot,
want accurate, specific and detailed
information about Southern oppor.
tunities, down to the exact price
and location of lands now for sale.
Put these facts into the hands of
the Western farmers and mechanics
by advertisement in Western papers,
by carefully prepared pamphlets, by
personal missionary work in the
West if possible, by correspondence
with every n in the West whose
name and address can be a%scertained.
Fill the papers and magazines Of the
South with such facts as we have
suggested and scatter them by mil
lions in the West. Get the co-ep-
Grafton of the railroads in this work,
and secure reduced rates for pres
pective settlers. Pay the expenses
of a trainload of Western people for
an excursion through the South. and
the cost will be repaid a,huDdredfold.
Do all of this and as much more as
the united ingenuity of the best
Southern minds IAN suggest. Cor this
is az opportunity not to be neglect
ed or wasted. Tt is the opportunity
of a century, and if used wisely and
fully it will benefit the South to a
degree beyond imagination. But it
is necessary to act now, not next
month or in the winter.
The solution of the immigration
problem is in the hands OF tie peo-
pie Of the South. If they realize the
situation and act at once, they can
accomplish stupendous results.

Disasters that are entirely without

Every calamity that befalls mankind
carries with it some element of ad-
vantage. Thus the present business

present to the South az opportunity
for self advancement such as has
never been presented before. W.

employed, the losses of business men,
| the distress and dissatisfaction o.
the farmers, the idleness of the me

thought is one of sympathy and pity;
our eecond should be Of the relief
that these thousands could find in
the South. In this situation lies the
great opportunity for the South to
help the unfortunate and at the same
time benefit beyond measure every
interest in the South. There has
been an infinite amount of talk, ar.
gument and theory about getting
desirable immigrants for the South.
There is now an opportunity to &C.
complish this result in a simple and
certain manner.

stantiated when we say that a little
expenditure Of money and we'll di-
rected effort at this time will start q

prospects of better conditions be Of

have sufficient money interest in them

ty of the State building wore badges

This morning the building was

stretched from the Sixteenth street
entrance two blocks away, and
bright banners and Chinese Ian
teras were hung from them to mark
the way for the procession which es-
corted Governor Foster and his
staff to tho building. From the
building the Stars and Stripes were
swung to the gentle breezes off Lake
Michigan.
The programme began with a
Creole concert in the woman's build.
lug at noon, and ended late this
evening with a reception by the
Governor and his staff in the old
plantation house. The feature of
the day, however, was the dedica-
ten ceremony held in the lawn in
front of the State building. The
gathering presented q typical south
ern scene. In the shadow of the
great piazza, under trees hung with
Iold Spanish moss, the Southerners
listened 70 the speakers. Most OF
the persons present were from New
Orleans, and all were from Louis
llama. The uniforms Of the military
men and the brilliant dress Of the
members of Governor Fosters staff
gave life and color to the assembly.
The ladies had on their best gowns
and the State commissioners put an
extra polish on their badges.
"a From the building came sounds OF
mirth and laughter during the entire
day. In fact, the Louisiana people
took possession Of the entire north
end of the park, and many little par
ties of soldiers and bright faced
Southern girls enjoyed pleasant
hours in the shade Of spreading
trees.
