The labor troubles is one OF the
great troubles with which the
South Is contending, and at the
same time the growth of the South
is further retarded by the slowness
with which new blood is coming
into this section. More labor,
efficient labor, more settlers has
been the cry of the South, and
thinking men all over the South
land have given much deep
thought to the solution of the
problems.
For years the South has been
prone to congratulate itself that
the great flood of immigration
was passing by the Southland and
seeking locations in the West,
North and East.
But that there are many desir-
able immigrants among those who
come over there is no question,
and theleaders ofSouthern thought
have for the most part agreed
that the welfare of the Southern
country can be best subserved by
attracting that class of immigrants.

THE POWER OF STEAM.
Mapy May Sec But 1t Takes Genius to
Realize.

When James Watt saw the steam
causing the kettle lid to jump up and
down he said There must be power in
that staam that 1t can lift such a
weight"
There was.
Millions prior to him had seen the
same phenomenon and regarded it az
en- unexplained mystery.
Recent scientific research has put its
finger on the cause" OF Dandruff, FAN
ing Hair. and consequent Badness, and
has unearthed a tiny germ which eats
the life from the roots of human hair.
Newbro's Herpicide destroys this
germ and consequently restores the
hair to its natural state.

Remarkably-some said providential-
ly-the suicide of the defaulting cash.
ier of an Allegheny bank gave tragic
force to Mr.. Castles revelations. Mr..
Berry overcame a Roosevelt majority
of nearly 100000 and he was elected
by majority Of about $4,000. Mr..
Castle was promptly made his special
counsel and he has been investigating
the thievery of the Quay gang who
have been in control of the state treas
ury for 10! these many years.
Mr.. Castle will be able to tell the
story of the Pennsylvania fight from
the standpoint of one at the front. He
is an eloquent representative of that
class of Prohibitionists who believe
that the Prohibition party should oc-
cupy a broad platform, fighting for
whatever reforms are favored by
clean citizens generally. 1t is gener-
ally recognized that he is the logical
candidate of the anti-machine forces
of Pennsylvania for governor next
year. Stranger things have happened
than that he should occupy the execu-
tive chair of the Keystone state.
There is also likely to be strong
movement to call him to a still higher
position as representative OF the
Prohibition party.

HOMER 1. CASTLE.

A thrill of joy will run through the
ranks Of Minnesota Prohibitionists as
they read that Homer L. Castle OF
Pittsburg, Pa, has been engaged to
address a big evening rally at the
State Convention. For years he has
been in high honor in the party. He
easily ranks among the best speakers
among us and this is saying a good
deal. His speech of welcome at the
Pittsburg National Convention in 1896
was a most eloquent effort and fairly
carried the convention off its feet.
Mr.. Castle is most widely known, how
ever, especially among members of
other parties. because of the promi-
nent part which he played in the re-
cent shaking up in Pennsylvania. 1t
was he who first suggested the sup
port by the Prohibition party of Hon.
VIM. H. Berry, Democratic candidate
for State Treasurer of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Berry was a member of the Pro-
hibition party until the silver split in
1896 and still retains his hatred to
the saloon. When he had accepted
the Prohibition endorsement unquali-
edly, Mr.. Castle stumped the state
with him and both everywhere de-
nounced the saloon, graft and Doodle.

THE NEW AUDITORIUM.

The State Convention will take
place at the fine new and spacious
Auditorium, Nicollet Ave. and 18th
St., Minneapolis. The business ses-
sions will occur in the smaller hall
which will comfortably accommodate
400 people. The great Wednesday
evening Rally will take place in the
Auditorium proper which, with its two
great balconies, will seat 2600 people.
This is an attempt to cut pretty wide
swath but the Prohibitionists of Min
nesota and the Twin cities are equal
to it. The Hennepin county commit
tee proposes to pack the great hall or
know the reason why. In making this
great endeavor they confidently ex-
pect every man and woman in the
ranks to work.

costly and rare an umbrella as patient

cure At her peace ball, which repro
duced the famous one held at Mt. Yer
non in 1879, she filled her Newport
house with furniture and decorations of
the period, spending thousands of dol
lars to give the affair as correct a set
ting as possible.
As result of her work in connection
with the ball, Mrs. Fish is a recognized
authority on the peace ball and entertain
ment and other things colonial. She
spent weeks in studying up on the sub
ject before she began actual work or
the ball; her thoroughness in this mat
ter is but indicative of her thoroughness
in all things. Therefore, her days are
crowded with work.
AS critic of the Newport set Mrs
Fish is certainly thorough-going-
refreshing. Probably no one outside the
charmed circle of the -Four Hundred
has spoken or written harsher thing:
about it. She says that the Newport
folk are uniformly stupid" She
ascribes little or no brains to not few
and generally and specifically she de
clares that they are too crazy about

who quite incidentally brought the
young woman's case to the attention of
Mrs. Fish.
A rather daring and out-of-the-ordi-
nary way of engaging in philanthropic
work, but in her social life she is even
more daring and ingenious.
Recently she set the tongues of the
country's gossips to wagging when it
was announced that she was to give a
dinner at which the guests were to ap-
pear in bathing suits. Newport has it
that before the season is finally over she
is expected to give a yaching- party-in-
doors entertainment, at which, it is
whispered, the guests will be received,
amused and dined in yacht, in her
great ballroom in Crossways, marble

There is her city house in Seventy-eighth

is known as "Glenclyffe." 1t is at Gar

Then, when the young woman had come
up, Mrs. Fish said:
"You are to continue here until you
are ready to take a step upward, and
remember, under no condition are you
to give up your studies until you are
fully equipped for your work"
With that she swept out of the class

money to secure them the necessary COW
eted education. Her fondness for grand
opera and classical music in general has
led her to be the good fairy to quite a
number of girls ambitious to become
prima donnas in time
A story is told of her way of carrying
good messages to those hoping against
hope.
1t seems that a we'll known painter of
portraits was commissioned to paint
Mrs. Fish. At sitting the conversation
turned on art students, and this led the
artist to tell of certain young woman
in one of his classes who was making
exceptional progress, who seemed to
have what is known among the profess
sion as the divine fire, but who was
soon to lay down her brush and palette
for the stenographer's pencil because of
lack of funds. But" added the speaker,
mark my words, she'll be back in the
class as soon as she has managed to rake
and scrape together enough money to
give her another course of instruction"
Two nights later Mrs. Fish, unaccom-
panied, Unexpectedly appeared before the
portrait painter as he was busy in the
class room.
"Show me the student you were telling
me of the other day." she commanded.

Mrs. Astor is the Reputed Head,
but it is Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish
who Entertains Most Lavishly,
Introduces the Novelties and
Spends the Most Money.

To come to the point at once: For all
that Mrs. Astor is the recognized head
of the famous -Four Hundred" Mrs
Stuyvesant Fish, of Newport, New York
and the -Four Hundred" is America s
leading society parsonage.
She has spent bigger fortune on So
cial entertainments than any other wo-
man of her day and generation, probably
than any other woman who has lived in
America.
She was one of the summer pioneers
at Newport, and her social life there
has helped most powerfully to make that
hot weather city by the sea famed on
two continents
She is the most consistent, most regu-
lar entertainer in this country. Mrs.
Aston gives one or two big function. in
the course of a twelve month; Mrs.
Stuyvesant Fish does not average less
than half dozen year, and her small
dinners, receptions and other lesser en-
erous than the weeks. No other member of
the socially elect is so much the hostess,
and but few of the titled social lights of
Europe, where entertainment is more
heavily gone in for than here, can equal
her record of functions, big and little, of
the past ten or fifteen years.
The various epochal steps in her So
cial career are marked by the most ex-
traordinary entertainments, embracing,
as the alliterative circus press agent
would put it, startling, stupendous,
Supplying, stunning innovations.
"Only Mrs. Fish would dare to do
such thing" is stock comment by
her associates.
In brief, it may be said that it was
she who set the style of entertainment
and amusement that has been in vogue
among the millionaire and multimillion-
aire social devotees of recent years, and
us of little money, too. The cakewalk,
gyrnhkana races, society vaudeville, pri-
vate theatricals by professionals on an
elaborate scale, costume and symbolical
dances, and festivals on scale even
more magnificent, and true to times past
to the slightest detail; the. engagement
of the worlds most noted and high
est-priced song-birds for an afternoon or
. evening of music-all these widely
copied features of present day big IS"
society amusement she either planned
out and introduced, adapted to her uses,
or was instrumental in giving them their
popularity.
Mrs. Fish is, in truth, the genius
one may almost say, the brains-of the
-Four Hundred" And, strange as it
may seem, she is one of its bitterest
critics.
She is easily the busiest society de-
voice in the country, and yet for all her
ramifying interests in this. butterfly sort
of existence she somehow finds great
deal of time to devote to charitable and
philanthropic work. This, however, does
not attract the attention that her I'M
usual modes of entertaining do, and nat
urally, so that Mrs. Fish could be easily
misjudged by one not familiar with her
except on her social side.
Society counts her one of its most
open-handed members. Many young
woman, now safely launched on bust
ness career, owes her start to Mrs. Fish.
She is particularly keen to help young
girls with talent for the arts but with no
