SO Says Mrs. Fish, Who Scores Him

Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish has come to
the rescue Of her sex by faying men
for following fashion bLndly, says the
New York Times She says:
Talk about slaves Of fashion We
women are not in it with the men.
They wear straw or felt hats, accord
ing to a certain date, and pay no at
tention to the weather or to their own
comfort But that is not all. For years
they've chung to the derby fashion be
cause it is the style, and if there's an
uglier, more uncomfortable OF more
unhealthful hat than u derby l don't
know what it is.
There's not one man in a. thousand
to whom such a hat is becoming. But
tall men and short, big headed men and
small headed men, fair men and dark
men, all stick on derbies and walk
around with self satisfied air.
IF fashion DEGREES a narrow brim
derby, all men wear narrow brim der
bies regardless Of the fact that the
narrow brim makes the round face
look like a full moon. If broad brims
are the fashion, every man wears a
broad brim, although it makes the thin
featured man look like a scarecrOw. If
fashion SAYS brims shall roll sharply at
the sides, even the man with large ears
wears a sharp, rolling brim, although
he nust know that it makes him look
like a yellow kid
women will mind fashion so long
as it dictates something becoming,
but they will refuse to look like frights
to please it. But the men follow it
blindly and devotedly, no matter at
what sacrifice to their looks. And ev-
cry fall wonder what has become Of
the handsome men until l remember
that the ugly hat season has come up

THREW AWAY OVER $500
Well Known Travelling Man Tells
What He Saw Colonel Dill
IinCham Do.
IinCham Do

81 was in Detroit few months ago
and was an eyewitness to one of the
most novel sights it has ever been my
lot 10 see. 1t was the parade of Col.
Dillingham;, which took place on the
principal streets of that city, and the
spectacle of man, apparently in his
right senses, throwing money into the
streets, followed by a shouting, howl
ing mob of small boys, fighting and
scrambling, sometimes under the very
feet of the horses that drew his car
riage, was worth going miles to see.
This was the first glimpse | had of the
world-famous Col. Dillingham; and
his unique methods of advertising.
For block after block along the entire
route of his parade, which was sew
eral miles in length, he tossed hands
full of silver money from his carriage,
and was told that over six hundred
dollars was cast to the winds by the
advertiser in this fashion during that
one parade. That amount would
certainly make a great many young
sters happy for few days, as some OF
the bows followed from the time the
parade started until it closed, and in
this way managed to secure four or
five dollars each. If Dillingham; in
tends to get rid of money IN each town
he visits at the same rate he did dur
inc that parade, he will certainly need
the mines of Afrfea at his command.

brated and much-talked-of electric

Major Sidney Herbert, an old news
paper man and veteran Of the union
army in the civil war, whose home
now is at Maitland, Fla, writes week
" letters to the Savannah News, and
we have noticed for a long time that
being a stickler for accuracy, especial
lv in matters of history and biogra-
ply, he devotes most of his space to
the correction of errors that are made
by public men and by other writer's

corrects the old error about Lee sur
rendering under an apple tree at APP
pomattox, and about his sword being
declined by Grant. Major Herbert's
correction follows:

1t seems utterly impossible to correct
two important errors in regard to
General Lees surrender-that it took
place under an apple tree, and that
General Lee offered his sword to Cen
eral Grant, who declined to accept IT.
Eminent men and women, people who
ought to have known better, have
been keeping these errors alive. Even

and Lee under the famous apple tree,
and yet these two great commanders
we're never together near the famous
apple tree, but left its shade before
General Grant arrived. 1t was this
tree that General L. P. Alexander
says was cut up and carried off as rel
les before he had time to get piece
big enough for pen staff.
General Horace Porter and Mrs.
jefferson Davis, and fifty other dis
tinguished writer's have referred to
Grants magnanimity in refusing to
accept Lees sword in the surrender at
the Mclean house. General Lee new
err rendered his sword to Grant, and
the terms of the surrender permitted
every confederate officer to keep his
side arms. Het both of these errors
are constantly bobbing up in some
form to keep alive two important mis-
leading statements as to the surren-
der. Even Senator Roscoe Conklin,
who ought to have known better, in
nominating Grant for a third term,
put the apple-tree humbug into the
following misleading rhymes:

THE WAYS OF HANDLING THE Immigrants
How the Hordes of ALIENS Are Hustled Away from
Ellis Island. What Georgia Man Saw While
Standing Near One of the Pens.

constant procession of thousands
upon thousands pouring in through
the narrow gateway of New York har-
Dor and spreading out far and wide
over the country. The great majority
of the immigrants do not come here
to settle haphazard anywhere that fate
may happen to lead them. 1t takes
no small spirit of enterprise for the
poor foreigner to embark for a
country, tearing his old life out by
the roots, and begin anew, and those
that come here have generally, with
great frugality, provided ahead for
themselv-s. Hence, they have their
exact destinations picked out in ad-
vance, and those destinations are in
the places where labor is most needed,
where the men are too few for the
work. The work of distributing this
great army of workers falls to the
railroads, which have devised elabor-
ate machinery to handle this special
traffic. All the roads having termi-
nails at New York have special rep
resentatives at Ellis Island, and there
is a great immigrant clearing house
there, where the incoming horde is
sifted out and those aliens bound for
different parts of the country assign
ed to the various roads.
After the immigrant has secured his
ticket he becomes virtually a ward of
the railroad. The railroad then checks
his baggage through to its destination
and takes him by boat and car to the
railroad depot free of charge. If
there is large number of immigrants
going to a particular section of the
country the railroad will run special
train for them, but otherwise they go
in special Immigrant car" attached
to a regular train. These immigrant
cars" are not, as some people sup
pose, a sort of cattle car, but are reg
ular day coaches, a little worn in the
furnishings, perhaps, and not kept
polished and brushed up to the spick-
and-span point of the usual road car;
but still probably more comfortable
to ride in than anything the foreign
ers were able to secure in their native
land. The ready distribution of i'm
migrants throughout the country is
made possible through a special rate
system offered by the railroads. Years
ago the railroads discovered that the
immigrants had difficulty in paying
the regular fares, and hence special
immigrants rates were established.
There are called third-clasS rates, and
Ellis Island is the only place in the
United States where they can be OBJ
tanned. They average from Is to 20
per cent below the regular fares. Thus
they are So less than the regular rate
to Chicago and So to 81 less to points
beyond. To Pittsburg the regular
fare is $1,000, the immigrants rate
SO. Even in such a short haul as that
to Philadelphia the immigrant has a
reduction of 80 cents. AS children I'M
der years old are carried free, cases
are on record where family of as
many as thirteen persons was able to
get to the far west on four and a half
full tickets. brooklyn Eagle.

The man from Georgia StOOu near
one of the pens at the immigration
station on Ellis Island, watching the
shifting hordes of aliens. There were
chattering Italians, fair-haired Teut-
ons from the valley of the Rhine,
stolid Gallo peasants from Gascony
and Touraine, blue eyed Irish lads
and lassies, curly-haired giants from
Denmark or Norway, Jews, bent and
bearded from the ghettos of Russian
towns, while Sicily, Lithuania, Hun
gary and Spain had all contributed
their quotas. Thousands of prospec-
tive American citizens had arrived,
and Uncle Sans inspectors were busy
sorting them out and rejecting those
that did not meet with the require
ments, while off beyond the towering
bulk of liberty, gazing toward the
narrows, two more steamships, heaYl-
" laden, could be seen sweeping up
the bay. The man from Georgia, bis
broad brimmed hat thrust back upon
his head. his hands in his trouser
pockets, stared with eager interest at
the busy scenes. Whatever the minds
or morals of the new corners, they I'M
questionably displayed healthy
broadness of shoulder, and the man
from Georgia, observing them, said;

husky fellows we can get. I've got
farm down there where my cotton and
corn stretch as far as you can see,
and we can get all the land we want,
but what we need is men to work it.
We need the aliens.
This is a cry, not only of the south
but of the great vest and the coal,
iron and steel districts of the middle of
the country. Certainly it is not the
cry of New York city, whose hundreds
of thousands of aliens are huddled to-
gether in the slums and combine
among themselves most of the squalor
and poverty and crime of the great
grants who 60 to places outside of
New York are flocking to the seat of
the coal, iron and steel industries in
Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia
and Indiana. An evidence of the need
ofmen in the steel industry alone is
the fact that one steel corporation
alone has orders on hand that will
take ithalf a year to catch up with.
That the distribution of these new
Corners over the country is great
problem is evidenced by the fact that
during the six months that ended with
August last 466, SOP immigrants had
been received at Ellis Island This is
at the rate of almost a million year,
or one every thirty three. seconds of
every day. The figures for the same
six months of last year were 306, 938,
and the gain was therefore 159, 624, or
more than % per cent. This makes a !
high water mark in immigration. On
the most crowded days of the period
the figures were as follows: April 4,
5000; April 5. $500 April 6, 1850;
April u, $500; April 13, 5000: May s,
5000: May 8, 6,400; May 10, 1900
1t is an astonishing thing to think
that on one day, May 10, an immigrant
was admitted on the average every
III seconds. Forty per cent Of these
immigronts remained in New York,
and the rest hocked to various parts
of the country. 1t is not unusual for
a big ship load of, say 1000, immi-
grants to include aliens bound for
every state in the union. 1t is like

She also told a clergyman. who is
