IMMIGRATION AND THE SOUTH.

There are at present before the writer
the results of Il somewhat extended pri-
waite correspondence, undertaken within a
rev weeks, i'll order to ascertain the views
OF representative Southerners regarding
the immigration problem as it affects the
South. Letters of inquiry were sent to
the Governors of all the Southern States ::
to Commissioners of Agriculture, Labor
and Immigration; to other public officials
and to prominent citizens, asking for an
explicit statement regarding the particu-
lar nationalities and the classes of i'm
migrants most desired in the South. as
well as the views of the person addressed
concerning any desired changes in the
United States immigration laws as a
whole. The results of this inquiry. which
have not before been made public. show
an extraordinary unanimity of sentiment
taking the replies of public officials alone
which represent every Southern State. 100
per cent. perfer native Americans and
northern Europeans who are skilled work
men with money, and who come with their
families, intending permanent settlement
Between 80 per cent. and 100 per cent. of
the Southern State officials protest
against the immigration of Asiatics. of il.
hterates, and of aliens who desire to SET
tie In cities. Eightyfour per cent. do
not wish any immigrants from Southern
and Eastern Europe, and SO per cent.
are opposed to receiving the aliens dis

OVERHEATED HOMES.

The commission which has been trying
to ascertain the causes for the prevalence
of pneumonia in New York is inclined
to think that the overheating of dwell
ings is responsible for many cases of the
disease. 1t is significant fact that
very large per cent of the deaths from
pneumonia i'll the greater city last month
occurred among people who lived IN
luXuriously warm apartment houses.
Undoubtedly the modern tendency to pass
day and night i'll warm, unventilated
rooms is responsible for much disease,
for it so reduces ones vitality that, when
he does go out into the cold, his powers
of resistance are weakened and the shock
of the sudden change of temperature Of
ten proves too much for him. DR.. Dud-
ley a. Sargent, of Harvard University,
estimates that forty per cent. of the total
mortality in the United States is caused
by breathing impure air. The over
heating of a house almost always in
wolves a lack of proper ventilation; and
even if this were not true, too much heat
is more injurious to health than too lit
tie. The most healthy temperature for
houses in winter is between sixty and
seventy degrees, and at all times there
should be some inlet for flesh air.--Ohio

THE NEED OF THE SOUTH.

What the South most wants to-day is
not the newly arrived, ignorant, and pen,
nlless alien, but the settler with means of
purchase, preferably one who has alreauy
resided in the United States for some
years and who is familiar with American
customs, or else the immigrant with
money, coming from northern Europe,
skilled in intensive and diversified farm
ing, and who can depend on his own ex-
ertions, manage his ow business, market
his own products, and save money. As
the large plantations are cut up into small
farms, thrifty tenants, not ignorant and
pauper labore.s, are needed. The newer
farms throughout the South have been
purchased very largely by farmers from
the West and Northwest, either native
Americans who have sold their old farms
to recent immigrants, or foreigners who
have lived in the country for a good
many predgested' immigrants, as
one correspondent called them.

Young Man Dies In Hospital.

The last scene in tragedy, in which
the parts were taken from real life,
was enacted at the Mary Nj. Packer
hospital in Sunbury, Tuesday night.
1t is a story of young mans strug-
gle to secure an education and to en-
ter the ministry; of his broken health,
and contraction of fatal malady
and finally of the destruction OF all
ihe hopes by death.
George Erdman, a prominent young
man of near Snydertown, who was ad-
mitted to the Packer hospital about
ten days ago suffering with an attack
of typhoid fever. succumbed to that
dread disease Tuesday night at IL
o'clock. His system was in run down
condition, due to hard study. He was
just preparing himself for the ministry
and had worked increasingly with that
end in view.
The deceased was aged twenty-on
years and eight months and was son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Erdman. He
was a brother of the Rev. Harry Erd.
man, of Pittsburg: Mrs. Norman Hull,
of Shamokin, and Miss Nettie Erd'
man, who resides with her parents.
The funeral will take place from the
Snydertown Lutheran church Satur.
day morning at 8 o'clock. Interment
will he made in the Reformed church
cemetery near Snydertown.

Concrete Work Shows Up Finely.

The improvements at the d. L. g. w.
station consisting of a concrete walk
and platform are not yet one-half COM
pleted although more than a dozen
men have been hammering away dilig-
entity since last Monday week.
The concrete work to take the place
of the old wooden platform is now
completed from the upper end down to
the door of the freight room. 1t is a
splendid piece of work and CONVEYS a
good idea of what the improvement
will look like when completed. The
pulverized granite employed gives the
concrete white and smooth surface,
wholly different from anything form
erly seen in this section.
After completing the platform con-
crete walk will be built all the way
to Church street. The whole job will
represent nearly a months work. Most
of the workmen employed are Italians.

Rev. SwartZ Leaves Riverside.

Rev. E. T. Swartz on Sunday con-
Quoted his last service rs pastor of st.
Peters M. E. church of Riverside. On
last Friday the household goods were
shipped to Scranton; yesterday Mr..
Swartz left for that city and today he
will be followed by his wife and
daughter. The reverend gentleman and
the entire family during the pastorate
at st. Peters became endeared to the
people of South Dauville and River
side and the severing of the ties when
the final separation came was attend
ed with many tears.
Rev. L. Z. Swartz preached his last
sermon at st. Peters on Sunday, Sept
ember 23. On last Sabbath, conforming
to q custom he has followed through
life, he observed the last Sunday of
his pastorate by merely administering
the sacrament and indulging in some
remarks appropriate to the parting.
Rev. @. M. Barnitz, who has been
officially appointed by Bishop Berry to
fill the unexpired term at st. Peters,
was present Sunday to assume charge
of the congregation as Mr.. Swart2
stepped out. After remarks by the lat
ter Mr. Barnitz spoke very feelingly
| of the retiring pastor, dwelling on
the acceptable service lie rendered the
church and the high esteem in which
he was held, personally.
Mr.. Swartz and family during theil
last days in Riverside have been enter
tained very pleasantly by Mrs. Pitnel
and this recalls coincidence. Wher
Mr.. Swartz entered the ministry forty
five years ago, he was appointed to the
Catawissa circuit embracing Soutl
Danville and Riverside where he
preached his first sermon in churcl
the site of which is now occupied by
Mt. Vernon cemetery. When he arriv
| ed on the opposite side of the river
before the first service, he was direct
ed to the house of Lambert Pitner
where he was Hospitality entertained
The coincidence lies in the fact tina
after life time of service after the
last sermon was preached he was ell
tertained by the same hospitable fam
lily which welcomed him into the fell

Farmers VIII Protect Quail.

The farmers throughout Montour
county are up in arms and are deter
mined to prevent the quail from being
shot on their properties this year.
The quail, by its tameness, has won
the friendship of the farmer and it has
been made plain to the hunters-or
will he if they attempt to hunt quail
that every thing in the power of the
rurat residents will be done to prevent
the Extinction of these little game
birds. The quail have been becoming
scareer and scarcer every year and it
is only matter of short while, II
the slaughter is allowed to continue,
until quail will have disappeared from
this part of the country. The new tres
pass law will be an important factor
in aiding the farmers to protect their
little feathered friends. While some of
the farmers do not object to shooting
rabbits or even pheasants-if they can
be found-on their properties they
stand ms one man on the question of
killing off the quail. AS one man from
near Washingtonville put it yester-
day, "You might as we'll start killing
a farmers chickens as to shoot quail
on his land"
Over on the other side of the river
the same conditions exist, in some
parts nearly every farm being posted
with trespass notices.

No Opinion In Judgeship Fight.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Oct. 3.-No
decision was handed down today by
the Dauphin County court in the Har-
man. Herring contest, and it is unlikely
that there will be any decision before
Friday, when the court next sits. 1t is
altogether improbable there will be
any decision tomorrow inasmuch as
that is the day of dedication of the
State capitol, when all business will
be suspended.
There is no doubt but that the court
considers the points of law involved
intricate ones, for Judge Kunkel in
vited his associate, Judge Capp, to slt
with him to determine the case.
General interest is manifested In
Harrisburg over the opinion of the
court inasmuch rs there is involved
the question of the State Democratic
rules. Opinions vary rs to what inter
probation the court will place upoI

APPLICATION FOR
BAIL REFUSED

A short session of court was held on
Saturday morning with his Honor
Judge Evans and associates, Blee and
Wagner, on the bench, for the purpose
of hearing argument on the application
to admit Peter Dietrich to bail. The
application was refused.
William Kase West of counsel for
the defense led off in argument. He
made strong plea, asking that the
defendant be admitted to bail until all
formality relating to new trial be
complied with. This would give the
defendant an opportunity to attend to
his business and personal affairs, which
have been necessarily neglected. He
cited cases where persons convicted of
murder in the second degree have been
admitted to bail even when there was
no recommendation to mercy.
Hon. H. M. Hinckley followed.
strenuously opposing the admitting of
the defendant to bail. declaring that
such course would be travesty of
JuSblC6. IHo lhatboi, ho saiu, was
purely in the discretion of the court.
Sentence, he said, was suspended mere
ly by reason of the application for a
new trial and he cited authorities to
show that in parallel cases bail was
refused.
Mr.. West in conclusion took the floor
and stated that it was the universal
custom in neighboring counties to ad-
nit the defendant to bail when ver-
dict of murder in the second degree is
rendered.
The court made the following order ::
Commonwealth VS.. Peter Dietrich.
Charge murder. Guilty of murder in
the second dergee.
Application to admit the defendant
to bail pending motion for new trial.
Now, September 30, 1905. after hear
ing argument application denied and
defendant remanded. By the Court.
CHARLES G. EVANS, p. J.
Peter Dietrich was present in the
court room and naturally showed a
keen interest in the argument. When
the order of court was read refusing
the application his disappointment was
very manifest.
