The death of Paul Leicester Ford has
recalled to those who knew him many
anecdotes about him and illustrations of
some of his quaint habits. IA friend of
mine who was frequent visitor at his
house of late years is fond of telling of
his first visit to Mr.. Ford. when he lived
at his fathers house in Brooklyn" said
James Dixon of Chicago at New \ ork
hotel recently. "He entered the great
library, where he was told by the SER
want that he would find Mr.. Ford, and
stood at the top of the steps leading into
the room, looking about fol- the author.
Besides the innumerable books, there
were several desks in diflereut parts of
the library. and many chairs, but, so far
as he could see, no person. Either his
presence was felt or he made some slight
noise, for suddenly there appeared over a
high-pled desk in corner the keen face
of the author, and he was invited in and
made welcome. Mr.. Ford showed him
piles of manuscript on each Of the sew
eral desks, and told him they were all a
part of the same story. When he got
nervous or the spirit would not move
him when sitting at one desk, he got up
and moved to another, and so on around
the room. Mr.. Ford, he said, built his
New York home in Seventy-seventh
street with money gained from Janice
Meredith, and always spoke of it as MY
little present from Miss Meredith"

Immigration at High Point.

immigration is now at the highest point
in the history of the country, and the
average of the class of people coming
here is regarded by some of the officials
as the lowest.
Counting the immigrants on board
steamships due to arrive in the last two
days of May at New York, the immigra-
ton for the month will reach the record
breaking total of $500. In May of 1893,
the previous record breaking month,
$1,000 people came into the steerage OF
the Atlantic liners.
The bulk of the immigrants are from
southern and southeastern Europe. In
migration from Ireland, Germany, Nor.
way, Sweden and Denmark has fallen
of greatly. Seventy per cent. of the
immigrants now coming in are from
Russia, Austria-Hungary and Italy
Most of these are non-producers.
The immigration authorities say the
great rush of aliens is due to the com
merclal prosperity of this country and
Industrial stagnation in nearly every
European country.

was among the many seekers after for

in April. During his travelling about
and afterwards his camping upon his

which, together with the severe heat,
gave him very severe diarrhea which ii
seemed almost impossible to check, and
along in June the case became so bad he
expected to die. One day one of his

a MEETING IN ATLANTA.

For generations to come certainly,
perhaps always, the great majority of
our American negroes will be tillers of
the soil. Even in the slavery days,
though, some of them showed natural
bent toward the mechanic arts and were
more useful to their masters in the shop
than in the field A dozen years ago
the census men found $3.50 negroes in
the mill, l. ,230 In the sawmill, l5,00i in
the tobacco factory, 10.762 in the smithy,
l5.SO0 in the mine, 3,19S in the quarry,
1919 earning wages as stone cutters.
9G47 as masons, l0,52l as brick-makers,
500 as iron and steel workers, 22,3ls as
carpenters. 400G as plasterers, 1896 as
painters, 2G4S as cooper, 1873 as wood
workers. 1893 as currier, 50G5 as shoe
makers, 1880 as tailors and 1419 as dress
makers. The number of negroes found
employed as engineer or firemen was

At the Atlanta University conference
this week, the principal topic of discus
sion was the present and future of the
negro as an artisan. Early In the pro-

Samuel Gompers of the American Fed

wrote, "that advantage should be taken

the unions of the trades they represent"
The conference was informed that
twenty-one of the international labor
unions bar negro applications for
membership absolutely; about thirty
bar them practically; sixteen have a
few negro members, eight have quite
number, and sixteen have "a large
negroe membership" Major Motion re-
ported that of 227 negroes who have
learned trades at Hampton II are still
at the school, % are dead, and 13S are
known to be now at work at their
trades. Secretary G. c. Houston of the
Georgia Federation of Labor was present
and addressed the conference. "The
negro is fast finding out that it is to his
individual and collective interest to
become affiliated with the union of his
craft said the secretary. sin this the
white artisan is lending encouragement,
giving him a seat, with voice and vote,
in the labor councils, local. state, and
national. Formerly there existed sem
timent among negro artisans that the
white mechanics sympathy and inv-
tation was born of a selfish purpose, but
happily this is being dispelled by the
mutual beneficial results
At the closing session of the con-
ference, Booker Washington spoke.

directly from the soil. Agriculture is to
be the chief negro industry for many
years to come. The young men should

farms; they should be taught how to
till them to the best advantage, and
also how to make farm life comfortable
and enjoyable. The sight of the shift

THINKS VERMONTERS LIKE THE FARCE.
Mr.. Clement, who is making a canvass
for the republican nomination for gov
ernor of Vermont, on platform of local
option, has carried the caucuses in sew
eral cities and large towns, and is full
of confidence that he will carry of the
prize. The probability is that he will
find that he is mistaken. Vermont Is
state much like Maine. Its cities are
few and not large. The great majority
of its population is rural, and unless 1t is
very different from that of Maine, it will
not favor local option. No doubt the
enforcement of the law in Vermont has
been as great farce, so far as the large
places are concerned, as it has been in
Maine, perhaps greater. But that makes
no difference. The failure of prohibition
in Maine cities has weakened very little,
if at all, the hold it has upon the rural
voters. Sometimes we think it has
strengthened 1t. And when the votes
come in it will probably be found that
this is true of Vermont.-Portland Me-
Press.
TO BURLiNGTON'S REPUBLICAN VOTERS.
1t has been generally conceded for
some time that there was no possibility
of the hope of the election of Proctor
delegation to the state republican con-
vention from Burlington. If those who
are opposed to p. w. Clement desire to
make their votes count, therefore, the
only reasonable and logical course for
them to pursue is to support the ticket
which will be in the field for Gen. John
G. Mccullough for governor.
The returns from the caucuses held
Saturday show that those who vote for
General Mccullough are not likely to be
for losing candidate, as he has more
delegates than both Proctor and Glenn
eral Mccullough has steadily held his
lead over his two rival candidates, and
inasmuch as some of his most important
strongholds still remain to be heard from
it will bother them to overtake him. II
is worthy of note that no less than seven
towns in Orleans county, which had
been claimed to be solid against him,
elected delegates for Mccullough Satur-
day, and there are other towns in that
county which will be for the Benning-
ton candidate. Inasmuch as this result
has been reached in the northeast part
of the state and General Mccullough is
more than holding his own elsewhere
his friends have reason to feel gratified
over the outlook for his nomination in

PANTS FACTORY SAVED

Bonapart, Sept 27-(Special.)-
Fire completely swept away the Reese
carriage factory, here early this morn
ing, entailing loss of $4,000 The
large pants factory of Meek Bros,
was threatened and was only saved
through the almost superhuman eff
forts OF the members of the hose de-
partment.
About 3 O'Clock this morning the
people were awakened by the cry of
fire. Flames could be seen darting up
from the west part of the business sec.

members of the local fire department
had arrived on the scene of the con-
migration with the hose cart and hun
dreds of the citizens of the place gath,
cred and assisted in the attempt to
stay the fury of the flames.
Save Meek Bros.
1t was soon seen that all attempts
to save the Reese carriage factory
would be useless and all hands turned
to the work of saving the surrounding
property and buildings from destruc.
ton. The large pants factory of Meek
Bros. stood close to the burning build
ing and was in great danger. Here
the fight of the night occurred and il
was only through the most strenuous
efforts that it was saved from being
