MIR. ROBERT IVEY DEAD.
An Inscription Upon a Tombstone at
Rehobeth Church.

From the Cuthbert Leader.
Mr.. Robert Ivey died last Thursday
at noon after long struggle with
that relentless disease, consumption,
and was buried at Rehobeth Friday
evening. Robert was a noble young
man. We are all sorry for his aged
parents and his lovely young wife.
While at the graveyard waiting, there
through the grounds and looking at
the tombstones, and we found one that
none of US knew who it was. Just to
satisfy curiosity-for others as we'll as
myself-I will ask some one thatknows
to tell us about it. Here is what is on
the slab:

Prefer Disease to Vaccination.

Cotton picking negroes of Arkansas
are sending smallpox broadcast ac-
cording to report on the smallpox
situation in Arkansas submitted to
the United States public health de-
partment. On account of the mild
form of the disease the negroes would
rather have the sickness than sore
arm from vaccination. Those negroes
affected by moving from one district
to another are carrying the disease.

hard for us to buy drugs. But we
intend to get plenty of drugs, the
best, purest stand freshest drugs, to offer

money, and we need your trade and
support We will makea revolution in

PASSES ARE SCARCE AROUND STATE CAPITOL
The Railroads Are Cutting Down Their Pass Lists.
Anti Pass Legislation Looked for at the Com
ing Session of the Legislature

under officials are finding in many in
stances that they are being left out OF
account in this years division OF
transportation.

as anyone" remarked one state Of
fetal who occupies an office of prom
inence, not an elective one, "but | am
certainly not going to ask for them,
and unless they come my way | am
going to pay my fare. Just now there
is no transportation coming my way,
and | am very fortunate in not being
required to do much travelling"
Passes Hard to Get.
Another capitol official, though he
is not the head of a department, up to
a short time ago had free railroad
transportation whenever he felt in
clined to ask for it, Now he SAYS he
finds it the most difficult thing to get
except an increase of salary. He says
there is one railroad which still lets
him ride gratis for short distances,
and that is about all that is now com
inc to him in that line.
Still another case is that of a CAPT
tol official who has to do considerable
travelling during the year. Only last
year he had annual passes on all of
the important roads in the state,
which enabled him to reach almost
any point. This year only one rail
road responded when he turned his
1904 passes in. The 1905 passes are
out, but in only one instance has he
heard from any of his.
Attitude of the Railroads.
These are not the only instances of
an indicated change in the attitude of
the railroads regarding passes, but
they are enough to show which way
the wind is blowing.
One of the under officials was re-
Gently heard complaining about this

Maryland is credited with securing 4000
 desirable immigrants in one year; South Carolina has effected settlements
 of Scotch. Canadians and Germans. and is now trying to add Scandinavians, and Louisiana has obtained very large additions from Italy and the North west. Many of the southern States are advertising their attractions, with the
 result that the recent infuxes from Eu- rope and the north are vastly greater than ten years ago. The most potent factors, however, according to PrOfes- sOr Fleming. are the much-abused rail- roads. The southern railroads offer special rates to home-seekers. On the
 first and third Tuesday in each month special hone-seekers' rates are offered
 on roads running South, with very con- siderable success. Farmers of the West and Northwest, finding land too expen- sive where they are or the climate too severe, go South in crowds every other Tuesday to see for themselves the at-
 fractions of the South from an agricul-
 tural point of view. On one day. it is stated, the Iron Mountain railroad car
 ried out of St. Louis within two hours six special trains, with 5000 home-seek-
 CTS.
 The South does not want the lower classes of foreigners that have swarmed into the ports of the East. It wants the kind of people who have built up
 the West. It is getting this kind for the most part. The newcomers are not mere laborers, as rule, but men who after a few years acquire farms of their own. They do not care to enter the Black Belt, but displace the negro. 1 When they do enter the belt they go in colonies, settle near the railroad and rely upon their own labor. The Italians are becoming particularly numerous in
 Louisiana, where they have become in
 many instances successful planters of cotton and sugarcane. The great lum-
 bering companies are employing them also largely in their extensive enter prises. In 1904 Louisiana had 3O,OOO Italians, against 1000 in 1900. In the former year there were in the southern
 States of the Mississippi Valley, it was
 estimated, over 1OO,O ,OOO Italians. In the region between New Orleans and Baton
 Rouge the Italian laborer has largely
 replaced the negro.

The first annual report of the New Haven County Anti-Tuberculosis Asso- citation is a cheering document. First, and not least, the Association is free from debt. Interest in its work is grow ing rapidly, as it ought to. Forty-four patients have been treated during the year. and the results have been remark ably good. They show that Connecti- cut people who are in the first stages of consumption needn't go to some other climate than their own to get cured. And they also show that there is hope in Connecticut air and treatment for those whose tuberculous condition is farther advanced.
 As the Sanatorium at WalIingford is intended for the treatment of truly in- cipient cases only, and as such cases will soon fill it, the. Association hopes that before long there will be means for the treatment of more advanced cases. There ought to be, and the good and sensible people of the State should see that there is. It has been made plain that consumption can and should be treated like any other infectious dis eases, and thewhole communityis vital ly interested in having it so treated. So there should be all the sanatoriums needed for its treatment in any stage.

A Great Day.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 It was a great day at the Yale Arena. The girls, the sensitive and delicate creatures, were perfectly lovely" They were all there, big girls, little girls, sweet girls, sour girls, girls with little feet, girls with big feet, girls with in- nocent faces, girls with less innocent faces, girls with wasp waists, girls with unwasp waists. And hats! Well, it's charity that poor old Gainsborough is dead. We took good look at them, too, when we could get a glimpse of them through the violet vineyards, but merely as study in sociology, and we are pleased to chronicle that our glipmses have implacably convinced us that they are superior to men. The Arena was impressively magnificent, elevating and instructive. The girls lent color when not outshone by Jumps of ice sparkling on some gentlemen's s shirts, and as it was a bit chilly some mere men and advanced women took large but delicate nips of some dark brown liquid from dainty little tlasks which we heard some of them say warmed them.

ANOTHER TNDICATION.

There are many efficient women nowadays. One of them has appeared ''out Vest in the character of a stage robber. A coach was held up, to the surprise of all on board, as such a thing has not been heard of in the neighborhood for some years. The party was ordered out of the stage and lined up after the approved fash ion, at the point of a revolver, al- though the traveller who tells the story says he noticed that the highwayman seemed rather nervous. The masked robber looked over the company, and after awhile motioned for a big dre3sy- looking man to step out of the line. He was the biggest fellow of the lot, and the biggest coward, too, for he was shaking all over.
 The bandit took possession of the mans money, and, it is said, there was roll of greenbacks that might fairly be termed a large wad. You can sail ahead now, gents, when you please" said the plunderer, tossing off the mask, and revealing the face of a handsome, bIack-eyed woman.

 That's nothing to what woman will do when she gets good and ready, but it is another indication of what is com ing to man.
