MILLIONAIRE Theodore A. Have

the causes of his business success:
For twenty-five years | was at
work at Z a. n., and did not leave
the refinery until p. m. | never
went to bed at night until | had
gone through the whole establish
ment. Many times | worked all
the night long. While | was q
single man my expenses never ex-
cceded $50 month. Pilot bread

LAST year $4,000 foreigners
entered this country. The ques-
ton where this large addition to
the country's natural population
disposes itself is interesting
There is a general impression that
the great bulk of immigrants to
this country find homes in the
West, notably those from England,
Wales, Germany and the Scandin-
avian countries. The contrary,
however, is shown to be the case.
Statistics covering the subject
are given by G. Henri
Ware, in the Cincinnati CONNER
Gazette, in which he seeks to
show that the bulk of immigration
goes to the states of the Atlantic
coast.
Of the $4,000 persons who
landed In this country during the
last fiscal year, 127, 900 meant to
remain in New York state. Some
$1,000 had Pennsylvania for their
destination, and SO, 900 Massachus-
etts. Thus it will be seen that
these states absorbed about two
thirds of the whole immigration to
the United States. Minnesota,
which has long been a favorite
state with Scandinavians and
German farmers coming to this
country, got less than half as
many immigrants as went to Con-
necticut. For North Dakota the
number of immigrants was only
1880; for South Dakota, 613; for
Kansas, 500; for Nebraska, 1913;
for Montana, 900; for Wyoming,
226; for Utah, 206, and for Idaho,
116.
Maryland attracted $500 immi-
grants, which is q new direction
for the tide of immigration.
Indiana got 1914 immigrants, and
Missouri 2485. Kentucky attract
ed only $50, and North Carolina
only 81. West Virginia absorbed
437. but the number that found
homes in Florida was surprisingly
large, being 1859. Many of the
latter, however, came from Cuba.
Among the states in the West into
which there was a considerable
movement of foreigners last year
was Illinois. which got $4,000.
Nearly 5000 immigrants, many of
them Italians, settled in California,
and the population of Colorado
increased 1900 by immigration.
In only one state of the Union did
the number of female immigrants
arriving exceed the number of
male immigrants. That was New
Hampshire.

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, Sept.
5.-The party of gold seekers on the
yacht Mary Bell returned from Michi-
picoten last evening, after having been
in the new gold fields but three days.
They say the newly discovered Edo
rado is fully as rich as has been re-
ported. There were fourteen in the
party, and all responsible business
men of this city. Each of them Sc
cured claims, upon which the gold
quartz promises big returns. In all
the party will make application for
1000 acres, which were prospected and
staked out while they were there.
Many samples of quartz, in which free
gold as large as a pin head can be
seen, were brought by them The
specimens were secured from differer.t
places on their claims, which are scat
tered. When the party arrived Tues
day night, there were but six pros
pectors on the ground at Lake Wawa,
and they secured good locations. They
are jubilant over their finds, and say
that the auriferous deposit is evident
ly an immense one. Veins of beautiful
white quartz carrying free gold exist
almost everywhere in the Lake WaS8a
region.
The returning prospectors say that.

department will be large and the com
petition very keen as to the premiums.
The weather being so hot yesterday,
the effect on the fowls was noticeable,
and several cages of fancy birds had
to be crossed off the list of entries,
having succumbed to the heat. A very
fine cage of Golden Wyandottes, en-
tered from Lake City, died from the
heat before the cage was placed in
position in the hall.

Supt. Will, collected a series of speci-
mems of water, well and cistern, of the
Bay Oysters, and also made a number
of photographs showing the condition
of the towns sanitary arrangements
and drainage.
Prof Metz appears to be of the
opinion that the prevailing complaint
is due in a measure to pollution of
the water in the bay fronting the town.
The drainage Of Ocean springs empties
directly into the bay, and the rains
wash a large quantity of focal mat
ter into the water and upon the area
in which the oysters consumed by the
town people are temporarily beddad
1t is feared that the oysters absorb
poisonous germs and communicate
them to the persons eating them.
The result of the Investigations of
Prof. Metz will not be made known
until his return to New Orleans, as
his analysis will not be made until
then. There has been an extensive in
quiry into the history of the persons
who have died and also into inception

These Cubans recovered, but the fever
spread. There are several cases at
New Chicago, near here. An investi-
cation will be made there tomorrow.
The air of mystery which has shroud-
ed the several physicians has not con-
duced to the comfort of the people, al
though pending the report of the board
of health it t>would have been unwise to
have discussed the matter. The news
of Pass Christian declaring quarantine
against Ocean Springs and Biloxi oc-
casioned considerable surprise here, be-
cause in the absence of a verdict from
the investigation committee such ac-
ton was not warranted by the facts
as then known.
The condition of the sick today has
not developed anything at all exciting
or suggestive.

"A1l we need now to make the thir-
ty-eighth annual fair of the Mime
sofa Agricultural society a success in
every way is good weather" This was
the statement made by Secretary Ran
dali yesterday afternoon, as he took
time to turn from the crowd that
thronged his office at the fair grounds.
1.-The exhibits are all ready" continued
Mr. Randall, "and the people are COM
ing from Minnesota, the Dakotas, Iowa
and Wisconsin, and the fair promises
to be the most successful from all
standpoints that has been held IN
years."
There was every Indication on the
grounds yesterday that the prediction
of the secretary would be verified.
There were over 5000 persons on the
grounds, and during the afternoon the
appearance of the grounds and build
ings would have led one to believe the
fair was in full blast. The Midway, as
the street leading from the railroad
depot to the grand stand is called, pre-
sented an unusually lively appearance.
On both sides tents, dining halls and
stands lined the thoroughfare. and a
couple of dime side shows with strong
lunged "barkers'' and "umpty umpty'
bands added to the din.
The cattle department, under the di-
rection of w. M. Liggett, of ST. An
thony Park, and George A. Cobb, OF
Merriam Park, will be the largest and
best exhibit on the grounds. Last year
there were 422 entries, and it was con-
ceded that the exhibit in this depart
ment was an excellent one. This year
there are 726 entries, and six of the
large barns are filled with prize win
ners in the cattle line. So numerous
were the entries in this department
that yesterday it became necessary to
tear out the box stalls in one of the
horse barns in order to get all the cat
tie under roofs.
In the horse and mule department
Supt E. P. Watson, of Morris, and hts
assistant, D. w. Watson, of Red Wing,
were busy yesterday attending to the
arrangements for this part of the ex-
hibit. Five of the large barns are
needed to care for the horses, and the
entries are double the number a year
ago. One of the exhibitors in this de-

inexplicable as it is remarkable. OLD
citizens testify that preceding the
cholera scourge in 1S49 there was a
remarkable dearth of flies; likewise in
1867 when the plague again appeared,
and so in 1878, when the yellow fever
epidemic prevailed in the Southern
states and filled ST. Louis and other
more northern cities with refugees.
One explanation of the sudden hegi-
ra is that the swarms of queen flies
that invaded the city about the time
of the exodus devoured them. The
queen flies left as suddenly as they
came, tarrying but day.

and most benefcent Of all for the
welfare of nations and the progress
of civilization"
Emperor William then conferred the
decoration of the order of the Black
Eagle upon Count LAMA di Bosoa, the
Italian ambassador to Germany.
The toast proposed by King Hum
bert is considered to be SO worded as
to make it understood that, while italy
will adhere to the dreibund she docs
not mean to impair her relations with
other powers, and it was evidently his
view to emphasize this fact
During the reception King Humbert
held a long conversation with the mil
itary attache of the French embassy
An open-air service for the troops
was held today, which was attended
by the royalists present at the ma

King Humbert replied in French.
He said: "I am glad of the opportuni-

cordial friendship and alliance be-
tween our governments and states.
Your majesty has set your reign a
noble task by devoting your constant
