Foreign Labor for
Southern States
Manager Of L1oyd's Emigrant
Business Says Plenty Of
Good LaborerS and
Small Farmers can
Be Secured.

The North German Lloyd
Steamship Company will put on
a line of ships next Fall between
Europe and New Orleans.
Mr.. Won Pills, the Manager of
the Lloyd's Emigrant business
while ia the south recently, said
that the southern States can get
plenty of good foreign labor and
small farmers if they are desired.
Throughout the continent of
Europe the word has spread, he
asserts, that The cities of America
particularly New York and Chi
cago, are now filled to overflow
ing with foreigners, and with ii
has gone the tidings that the
great agricultural states of the
South, like Georgia, and Alabama
hold out golden promises to the
rugged alien whose life dream is
a home of his own and enough
acres to provide a comfortable
livelihood for his family.
Hundreds of thousands of
stalwart peasants of German
haeod, will flock to America, he
declares, with their baggage
checked straight through to dis
taut points in the South, and
they will bring money enough to
give them a fair start in the life
they wish to lead.
They will not come with the in
tention of returning after they
have accumulated what in their
native countries would be consid-
cred snug fortune, but will leave
home with the declared purpose
of becoming American citizens
and adopting American ideas.
America, Mr.. Won Pills says,
should not regard with alarm the
incoming horde Of foreigners, but
should welcome them, and should
give a double welcome to the
swarms of agriculturists which
will come here in the next half
dozen years. Any country in
Europe, be says, would be sorry
to lose them; every, country
should be glad to welcome them
as residents.
The industrial agents of
the railroads report that they
have had greater success these
last few months than ever before
in inducing labor and home
seekers to come South. This in
turn has encouraged the roads
to redeuble their efforts to bring
in help for the farmers and the
manufacturers.

Special Dispatch to The Star
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, November q
After having discussed pro and con the
most painless way of committing suicide,

room last night and then carried his the
cries into practice. He was found dead
early this morning in the bath ROOM
Ingra ham boarded at the North 18th
street address. His plans for committing
suicide were made by him in such jocular
vein to disarm suspicion of his purpose.
When he came into the house shortly after

landlady, Mrs Goldberg.
Come let's have drink together to-
night, 1t will be our last" Then picking
up a paper he went into the parlor, where
Mrs. Goldbergs daughter, an actress, was
seated. An account of a man who had
shot himself caught his eye.
Say" he exclaimed to the young woman,
what do you think of this way of COM
hitting suicide?"
Il think the man was very foolish"
We'll, look here persisted Ingraham
(which method to you think is the best
anyway"
LAS matter of fact, don't you think
gas Is about the least painful way?"
well. ] suppose it is as painless as any
other DEATH was the reply.
Ingraham then folded his paper, excused
himself, bade her goodnight and retired
