ENA's WEDDING CAKE
ls Six Feet High and Weighs More
s Than $40 Pounds.

London correspondent New York Sun.
Princess Ena's wedding cake, which
was made here, was completed today
md packed for shipment to Madrid.
1t will be the first royal wedding cake
ever seen in Spain.
The English custom was introduced
by King Alfonso as a compliment to his
bride. The cake Is six feet high and
weighs more than $40 pounds. 1t stands
upon a huge silver salver, on which
the brides mothers wedding cake was
placed. The cake consists of three
glistening silver white tiers and Is 40
inches in diameter at the base.
The lowest tier is divided into eight
panels, separated by Corinthian col
umns. and is surrounded by Cupids dis
guised as postmen and messengers.
The spaces between the columns are
filed with panels of sugar work repre-
senting Spanish vines. The panels are
festooned with orange blossoms, white
heather, myrtle and white roses. The
flowers were chosen by Princess Ena
There are four panels on the second
tier. In the center of each is shield

MAKING CLoTHESPINs.
Millions Turned Out Annually at q
Maine Factory.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Few persons ever wonder where clothes
pins come from; few ever heard of Bry-
ants Pond, Me. and yet man there has
been quietly turning trees into clothes
pins for years and supplying the world
with them, amasslng in the process as
comfortable q fortune as many a man
makes In Il more pretentious business in
some money centers. His name is Lewis
Mann. and he began with capital OF
$500, with which The purchased an old dis
used mill and began the manufacture of
clothespins. Today he is the largest n-
dividual maker of this very necessary
article in the world.
How large the clothespin industry really
is may be gathered from the fact that
no less than 1,250,000 five gross boxes are
manufactured every year in the United
States alone. Much of the best machin-
cry now used by Mr.. Mann is the result
or his own inventive genius and that of
his son Edwin. Mr. Mann's machines
turn out 30,000000 pail handles. while of
high grade clothespins they produce more
than $4,000 five gross boxes or 36,000,0 900
year
In the winter great piles of birch logs
are accumulated about the mills to feed
the great saws which snip them into two
and one-half foot lengths as easily as
though they were so many matches.
These lengths are rapidly split by another
saw into thin slabs. which are in turn
converted into long, thin, square strips
by gang saws. Deft hands toss these
strips on a revolving drum. which bears
them against still other saws and turns
them out in the form of oblong blocks.
Falling on to a moving belt, the blocks
are whrled away to a number of lathes.
If the blocks are to become pail handles
they are bored and turned in a most in-
genious fashion at high rate of speed;
If they are destined for clothespins, the
boring is, of course. dispensed with. and
they are simply turned into the desired
shape.
From the 1athes a belt conveys the
clothespins to a 'slotter," which rapidly
cuts the slot. The pins emerge with two
symmetrical legs and are swiftly horne
by still a third belt to the upper floor.
where they and the pail handles are
dried in vast heaps in a high tempera-
ture In the dry room. bleached with sul-
phur and finally polished with wax in
a huge revolving drum. Thence they de-
scend again to the packers, where they
receive final inspection, and all the pins
that are not rejected are packed in boxes
labeled "a or "B," according to quail
ty. 80
The rate OF production is amazing, yet
few are injured in the making, nearly
every pin and handle emerging after It's
tortuous Journey in perfect polished
form.

GERMAN RESENTS ISLANDER
AGAINST THE SOUTHLAND
BY S. HECHlNGER.

trouble to come to any southern city he
would have found out, that skilled labor
gets as high wages here, as any where
in the United States and very often
considerably more than in the north and
east, and even the wages paid to the
colored laborers compare favorably with
those of the white laborers In the north
and east,
| also do not know where Commissioner
Watchorn got the information that 1893
out of 400 immigrants know before they
start for this country in what section
they intend to settle. The officers at the
different immigration stations could have
told him better. As a matter of fact, only
so per cent of the immigrants coming to
this country know beforehand where they
are going to settle, and they are mostly
those who have already friends or rela-
tives living in the section to which they
are going With the other 80 per cent
1t is only a matter of chance and very
often they have not enough money left
to go far away from where they landed.
That is one of the main reason why New
York and the east is SO over-crowded.
The usual malicious Islander of the
south is to be found in the comment that.
"If any section suffers for want of i'm
migrants or If on the other hand, any
section is visited with plethora of immi-
grafton, it is because that In the one
case the immigrant has made up his
mind. that a certain section is to be
| avoided, etc, and that it Is found, upon
examination, that the judgment OF the
immigrant is based upon information Oh
the relative advantages for him of one
section over another.
In the first place not one person out OF
ten in Europe has any distinct idea about
the country, or any section thereof. His
conception of this country, its lie, It's
customs, lands, people, etc. are very
vague and are based upon hearsay let
tiers from relatives and friends living here,
and now and then upon advertisements
and literature.
The immigrants receive most of their
! information after they land here, and most
| of this information is wrong and false.
! otherwise surely they would not make
un their mind-as It is implied In the com
ment of the Boston Herald-that the south
IS to be avoided. There is no better dis
| trict in the United States today for the
right kind of immigrants than the south
The ever increasing industries of the SOUTH
are continuously in need and clamorins
! for skilled and unskilled white labor, ano

ISLANDERS upon her resources, her lands

The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1906-06-17

A short time ago this article appeared
in the Boston Globe:
IF the south wants immigrants" says
Commissioner Watchron, "she will have
to raise wages to the level prevailing in
the north and west This is a very fair
epitome of the Industrial situation as it
exists today in the southern states.
1.-THE south is clamoring for immigrants,
but no section of the country ever has
required to clamor for immigrants, for as
Commissioner Watchorn points out, 1888
out of 400 of the immigrants know before
they start for this country in what sec
ton they intend to settle.
"If any section suffers for want of In
migrants. or If on the other hand, any
section is visited with plethora of i'm
migrati ton, 1t is because that in the one
case the immigrant has made UP bis mind
that a certin section is to be avoided
and a certain other section is to be chosen,
and it will be found upon examination
that the judgment of the immigrant is
based primarily upon his information of
the relative advantages for him of one
section over another"
The poor south! Just now awakening
to her grand possibilities, having the
finest opportunities awaiting the thrifty,
practical farmer, the skilled and unskilled
workman and being sorely in need of both,
she is continually beset by her enemies
both at home and abroad-slandered, mis-
represented and hindered powers develop
ing her untold resources in lands and
minerals and timber and what not.
Only the other day one of her own
citizens, a learned Judge, undertook to
voice his own antique views. as those
of the whole south, by declaring that
the south does not want immigration, that
the negro is sufficient to raise the cotton
and further implying that cotton raising
is all the south wants and needs. 1t
would be useless to waste any arguments
on such a view as that. ] think even
the rest of the country is aware of the
fact that the south has awakened to
her new era Of agricultural and indus
| trial growth and progress and no longer
| depends upon an ethiopian kingdom of
| cotton and corn. So let the judge keep
on dreaming But here comes one of the
many wise ones, Commissioner Watchorn
| and says: IF the south wants imml-
| grants she will have to raise wages to
the level prevailing In the north and
west" and points out as the Boston
| Globe declares, that 1898 out of 400 of the
immigrants know before they start for

| tend to settle
