IMMIGRATION CONFERENCE.
A Statement Issued Explains Who arc
Entitled to Attend.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Oct. 16.-The
committee on attendance for the APP
preaching conference on immigration
and quarantine, to be held in this city
on November 80, are receiving inqui-
rieS which lead them to think that
some slight misconception exists in
the minds of a few persons as to who
would be entitled to attend this con-
ference.
To correct this the committee de-
sires publicity be given to the fact that
all who can give evidence of being
qualified under the call will be duly
admitted as members of the confer
ence These are Governors of South
ern States, commissioners of agricul-
lures, members of Congress, mayors
of towns and cities one from each
institution of learning or agricultural
school, one from each newspaper or
trade journals, from county, city a2d
State board of health, one from each
railway system, preferably the general
immigration agent and five delegates
from each commercial organization in
the South In addition to these the
governors are authorized to appoint
any others who may apply to them
for that purpose. Wives and female
members of the families of members
will be welcomed by the local commit
tees and admitted to the sessions of
the conference. A number Oh CON-
mercial organizations have already
named their delegates and the inter-
est in the conference shows that the
attendance is likely to be beyond all
estimates that have been made.

WHAT THE LONELY,
 DULL LIFE MEANS.

Not long ago a young wife commit ted suicide because she had to live away from her folks Her husband adored her and worked nights and overtime to get money to make his bride happy. One night he went home and found her dead. There is no pathos at all in this story, only crazy foolishness The young wife made no attempt to brace up and meet the sit uation like a grown woman who owed something to good husband for whom she had left her parents roof of her own free choice. She might have oc- cupied her mind. if she had had any mind, with course of instructive reading, with study. with Investigating the places of historic and artistic in terest in the great and beautiful city to which she had gone with her hus- band. But no! This silly creature on- ly slumped down and whined like a baby for "my folks!"t
 The trouble with this woman was that she had no brains or mental re- sources within herself.
 Then there is Mrs. Mortial "Oh. dear. Oh. dear! How can I ever put in the time?" plains Mrs, Mortal I've got nothing to do all day long, and l just die of dullness.'
 Why don't you mend your clothes and keep them in order?" said tidy friend. whose eyes slowly roved over Mrs. Mortials rumpled, ripped and not too clean home negligee.
 I'm not going 10 darn and mend. said Mrs. Mortal. Whats the use?
