SOUTHERN LABOR PROBLEM.
Negroes Are Flocking to Towns and
Farms Are Suffering for Help.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
The question of farm labor in Louisiana
Is becoming very serious. The negroes,
who have heretofore done all the planta-
ton work, are flocking to the towns and
cities, where they can get occasional jobs
and find other means Of living without hav-
ing to perform regular work. In Louisiana
there is no season when work on the plan
tation ceases There is as much done out
of doors in the winter as in the summer
and, as a consequence, laborers must re-
side upon the plantation, so that they can
perform labor daily, which goes on all the
year round This is not the case on farms
in northern states where the winter wealth
er puts an end to all agricultural labor for
the season.
The negro left to his own devices, has
found out that a life of ease, with the do
ing of occasional spurts Of work, is more
to his taste, and this has caused a move
ment from the farms to the towns, where
the colored people herd together and con-
tent themselves with doing odd Jobs. The
negro women in town go out, with more or
less regularity, to daily service; but they
return at night to their own quarters, and
the greatest part of their earnings go to
support the idle men. The Louisiana coun-
try papers are complaining of the great
lack Of laborers. Considerable numbers of
Italians are coming into the state direct
from their native country, and they are
said to be Industrious and reliable.

of representation about 1000 delegates and

that some portion Of the structure can be

It is likely that the plans which have been

during the present season. The house,
which will have a frontage OF thirty-three
feet, will not be conventional in design, and
will have notable apartment In the stu

for a residence for Mrs. Robson, to be

English basement in arrangement.

ARRANGEMENTS have been completed by

northwest corner of Pennsylvania avenue

that the new owner intended to erect a
nine-story steel frame Office building there
led to the suggestion that Congress might
pass a law regulating the present regula-

Mosquito Pest in Utah.

From the Denver News
A swarm Of mosquitoes has descended
upon Salina. and is making all manner Of
trouble for the inhabitants. The phe-
nomenon Is remarkable one, for mos
quitoes have never been heard Of in winter
in this part Of the country, and these mos
quitoes are as large as wasps. The mos
quitoes arrived when the snow was deep
upon the ground. They came in q cloud.
like grasshoppers, and settled everywhere.
The appearance Of living being is sig
nal for them to swarm to the attack in
myriads. They are so large and fierce that
they can be fought of with difficulty. Peo-
pie have been forced to remain indoors as
much as possible. and women, and even
some men. have taken to wearing wells
when they appear on the streets. The
weather has been away below freezing
point. but this does not seem to have any
effect on them. except to make them a lit
tie more ravenous. They have even invad-
ed dwellings, attacking everybody there.
Local naturalists say they are different
from ordinary mosquitoes, but they are at
q loss to classify them accurately.

FLAGS ON THE CAPITOL.
What IL Means When they Are Fly
ing at Half Mast.


The flying Of flags over the capitol at
half mast IS regulated by the strictest
rules. Whenever these flags are seen
floating half way down the mast It is
q sure indication that n vice president.
senator or representative is lying dead
or that the action is taken IN response
TO a presidential proclamation ordering
the flags on public buildings at half
mast ia respect to the memory OF some
prominent official Of the government
who has passed away.
When the sergeant at arms Of the
senate or house Of representatives
learns Of the death Of a member OF
either of those bodies, he at once
orders that the flags over the senate
chamber or hall OF representatives be
half masted This Is often done before
the houses of congress themselves are
officially notified of the death. A good
deal of discretion Is exercised IN the
manner of placing the news OF q death
OF this kind officially before the senate
or the house. Upon such an announce
ment 1t Is customary for the houses to
adjourn In respect TO the deceased SEN
ator or representative, and in order
that the current business may not be
stopped early in the day the announce
ment Is generally made just before the
houses are ready to conclude their
days work.
officers OF the senate and house
when they fly the flags at half mast in
response to a proclamation by the pres
ident regard their action as one of
courtesy, as they do not recognize the
power OF the president to order con-
gress TO do anything except to assem-.
bic IN extraordinary session. They
have always responded 60 the requests
of such proclamations. II would be a
nice question, IL one could imagine that
It could ever be raised, TO know to
what extent the presidents authority
would allow him TO order fags at half
mast on the capitol While his author
ity would not extend over the en-
ployecs OF the senate and house. yet
the capitol itself FOR many years was
in fact controlled exclusively by him
so far as the care Of the building is
concerned and the superintendent of
the building Is today appointed by him
without conhrmntory action on the
part OF the senate.
AS matter OF fact the capitol has
FOR years been under the direct control
Of the committees on appropriations Of
the two houses of congress, but that
Z control has been accorded them by the

STRUCTURE OF WOREHOUSE
How the Flames Communicated From
One Building to Another

The New Castle County Workhouse
was constructed on the flre-proof plan,
and was considered 10 be impregnable
against fire. When the building was
ompleted the east wing was one large
room two-stories high, but later was
partiuoned off into work rooms.
The fire started in this department
and as the floors, partitions and cell
ings were of wood it gained rapid
headway, and I'm a short time This part
of the institution was doomed.
The fire passed along beneath the
roof and I'm this manner reached the
central building, consuming the roof Of
the south wing, and a portion OF the
roof of the centre building before
its progress could be retarded.
Between the east wing and the re-
ceiving corridor, or the centre of the
structure, is a brick wall, probably
four feet thick. which prevented the
flames from gaining an immediate en-
trance to this part of the building,
The only way the flames could reach
the centre corridor was through the
roof. and If ladders had been obtain
able when the fire began the flames
could have been held in check at this
point
The walls Of the east wing are in
tact and will be allowed TO stand.
