Data on Labor Market.
Mr.. McHarg appealed to his hearers and
their clients to organize, and advise govern
ment officials at Washington of the labor
markets, as they advise it on the wheat,
cotton and iron markets, and as TO the
condition of growing crops.
Referring to the thousands of immigrants
who land here penniless. thus caught in
the congestion at the port Of entry, Mr..
McHarg declared that this condition was
occasloned by the insufficient means in
the possession of the immigrant to enable
him to reach centers where labor is needed.
1t seemed to him that true economy de,
manded that something be done to help
this great influx of men to secure work
outside of the congested centers.
This requires the establishment OF
specially equipped trains running from such
congested centers as New York city to all
parts of the country" declared Mr.. NC
Harg, which will carry these laboring
men at actual cost, in order that they
may be placed where their services are
needed on the farms and in factories. II
this were done the railroads would soon be
carrying back the product OF their labor,
and they would, in turn. receive very
ample indirect payment for their very Low
fare. This is one way of saving the souls
and bodies of men In these congested
centers."

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, July a
All that is mortal Of Mrs. Margaret Howell
Jefferson Davis-Hayes, the tiny metallic
urn of ashes, rests in the little vault in
Evergreen cemetery here. The final honors
over the daughter Of the confederacy'
were as simple as she had wished. There
was no show or display of any kind, the
service being the usual Episcopal form,
with the singing Of two favorite songs Of
Mrs. Hayes.
The beautiful residence, located on
famous Cascade avenue and overlooking
Colorado college campus was thronged by
the friends of the family. Crowds gath
cred in the neighboring streets to pay their
last honors to the dead. In the throng
were hundreds of southerners, who seemed
deeply affected as they stood with barred
heads and watched the little procession
bear the casket in which the urn of
ashes had been placed, from the house to
the cemetery.
A touching feature Of the service was the
carrying of the casket from the house by
the young men friends.

NARRAGANSETT PIER, r. l.. July 81
An urgent plea that efforts be made to

Try Of their alien population by distribut-
ing them in sections where they could OBJ
tain remunerative employment, was today
made by Ormsby McHarg, assistant secre-
tary OF the Department Of Commerce and
Labor in an address before the Commercial
Law league here.
II his country is to be known as the
land Of the free and the home of the
brave" declared Mr.. McHarg, 1T must be
made free and the only way 1t can be
made free is to put into the hands of men
the tools Of freedom-property. These new
corners cannot acquire it in these congested

A Wise Critic.

Francisque Sarcey was for forty
years figure Of great prominence In
French literary life. AS a critic OF the
drama he was looked upon as one hav-
ing authority, and praise from him
meant success to the struggling play
wright
His criticisms were honest, fearless
and independent, and 1t Is remembered
Of him that he refused the honor Of
belonging to the French academy lest
he should come under obligation to ia
vor the plaTs written by other mem
bers.
Sarcey's good sense was often put to
the test. One day friend came rush.
Ing into his room waving a paper.
"What is the matterT' inquired the
critic. Zen
Here's some one" cried the other,
"who has been calling you an 1mbe-
cile' in print! Are You going to chal-
lenge him"
Sarcey smiled. Certainly not" he
replied. II owe him my thanks. The
public will soon forget the word i'm
beetle and will only remember having
read my name."

sh. Conquered Che Germans.

In the Franco German war the
French hospital at vendome was In
charge Of Nine. Coralie Cahen, one OF
the most noted nurses of the time.
There, aided by two nurses and seven
Christian Sisters of Mercy, she re-
ceived thousands of French and Ger
man soldiers. When the Prussians oc-
cupied tvendome they wished to hold
the hospital and plant on it the Ger
man flag. But. warned of the enemy's
Intentions. Nine. Cahen early one jan
uary morning visited the Prussian gen
eral, who. surrounded by his staff. was
about to seize the building.
"Sir," she exclaimed, I'VE have re-
ceived your wounded and nursed them
as though they were our own. We will
continue to do so, but we will remain
in French hospital. We will not have
1t converted into German hospital"
Madame" was the reply, 1--WE are
masters"
Tin the town 1t may be; here, nor
was the answer. "We are protected by
the Red Cross and the French flag.
You have no right to touch either the
one or the other"
She conquered, and from that day
the utmost admiration was openly
evinced for her by the Germans.
