SOCIETY IN NEW YORK
By MARGARET WATTS DE PEYsTER.

Margaret Holmes Batos, Mrs. Lois Pierce Hughes, Edwin O. Swain, Mrs. Jean Nelson Penfeld and S. S. Mcclure, all Indianains.
 The entertainment followed a banquet at Hotel Astor.
 Frederick Townsend Martin, who has unloosed his batteries on the idle rlch declares extravaganza to be a great in ternational vice in a discussion of the fashionable and society folk in New York and London, says:
 Society has been revolutonized in the past ten years-here and abroad I am just back from London, it gives me q chance to compare the fashionable sets of England and America"
 To the automobile MT. Martin at tributes the change in the life in Lon don.
 There is no dead season in London now" he says. ''I passed through Lon don on August IS. The hotels were still quite full. Now people don't hire houses. They come up sometimes for two hours in their automobiles to the opera or . ball. and go back to the country after ward"
 Society in London is much more nat ufal ana easy, NIT. Maftll tnlihS.
 At present any of those fashionable young married women-titled or not-if they have the power of entertaining, would spoil the ball or reception of even an elderly duchess he claims.
 Nowadays you can not drag the fash ionable young men to any entertainment unless they know they are going to get the best wines, a delicious supper, and exquisite music. Consequently, the en- tertainments have increased so in cost that there Is one smart entertainment in the night-that is about all
 q would add that l see and 1t is sad thing for me to see, that increase of extravaganza in the entertainments In England. Many of those old dowagers have told me; MT. Martin, we are in debted a great deal to your country for teaching us the lesson of extravagance. have always answered and said: Not only to my country, but to your own. Extravaganza is the great national vice today-in every land.'

INDUSTRY
 HAS SEVERE SLUMP

Paris, December .--(Speclal.) )-Ths ent suffering from a severe slump, With ent suffering from severe slump. iWth- in the last few months orders have fallen off rapidly, and three of the constructors of aeronlanes have just discharged no fewer than 122 Of their worlmen.
 This slaclSness is attributed to the wan- ing interest In flying as a sport in conse- quence of the number of fatal and other accidepts to avators. Moreover, avia- tors complain that the cost of flying is so heavy that only those with ample means can take it up.
 Manufacturers are turning their atten- ton more and more to the commercial aspects of flying, and are trying to ade- vclop machines for various practical pur- poses.

mere invitation, the n1an who has male a failure at home and who Is ready to move omewhere-anywhere.
 The man they are going after Is the man who is hard to. get, the man who has made a success at home in spite of long, hard winters and high priced lands, tile man who will not move until he is shown that there are greater opportuni- ties for his, skill and intelligent labors in new country.
 Appreciates Advantages
 That class of man knows how to ap- preciate long seasons. reasonably fertile lands that are cheap and the possibility of more than one crop year. Such a man is always desirable in state or community. He Is worth going after at any price.
 That is just what Baldwin county is doing and they are getting the man who is not only a success, but is a valuable asset to the state.
 A careful study of the census report af- fecting Baldwin county and the known conditions of the county for the past ten years will show how effective the im- migration movement has been. Census Figures
 Ten years ago the population of Bald win county was 13,194 At that time a greater part of the population was made pp of people engaged in the lumber and turpentine industries With the practical passing of these industries that class of people moved on to other sections, follow ing opportunities for their trade.
 Naturally such conditions would have resulted in decrease in the population Of the county. But this is not so. The census taken this year shows a popula- ton of 18,174, an increase of 1880.
 The increase has gone considerably be- yond 5000 since the count in April. You can see the population increasing Bald win county.
 The cause of the increase in popula- ton in Baldwin county, where one would naturally expect a decrease, Is plain to see Following the cutting off of the timber the people who acquired or held the land went out after immigrants to till the soil. To the surprise of all 1t was discovered that the soil responded won derfully to skillful cultivation and in- tellgent fertilization.
 The coming of few progressive farm CTS from the great west and north was

Arrest Causes Sensation

Calcutta, December 10.-(Special. 1.-The arrest of three young Bengalis at a fare- well party given by the Indian communi- ty to Lord Minto, the retiring viceroy. and Lady Minto, in the Calcutta town hall created a sensation that Calcutta has not yet forgotten.
 Two of the prisoners were pressing close to his excellency when they were seized, while third tried to gain ad- mittance with ticket not issued by the committee. All three prisoners are na- tives of Eastern Bengal.

evenings and talk over the things that interested him. I noticed that he was always filter after good talk
 q asked him if there was any job in his office to which he might change. He said there was. I happened to know that the job in question involved a great deal Of talking, giving orders, discussing plans, etc.
 He tried it, and though he works actually harder than he did before. he is different man and perfectly cheer ful.
 People who live much by themselves and have no one to talk to should read aloud as dramatically as possible.
 Talk to yourself in your bath in the morning. You can talk more loudly then, for the splashing will prevent people thinking you lunatic at large
 You can also sing and whistle things very good for the lungs and circulation.
 "But take every opportunity of talking to yourself in private or to friends, par ticularly in the cold depressing days of winter It will make you fit and keep you warm and cheerful

and placed in charge of men who know something of the country they represent and can win the confidence of the pros pective immigrant.
 Such exhibits of Baldwin and Mobile county products at Cincinnati, Chicago and other places have directed hum dreds of interested people to Alabama. Scores and scores of these people have already come to the state and bought homes. Some of them have been here one, two and three years and most of them are satisfied. Many others have come down to look around and will come as soon as they have adjusted their af- fairs at home. Hundreds of others have heard of the glories of Alabama and will fellow their neighbors.
 Talk alone could never bring such re- suits. .s.a5..a
 All From Missouri
 Every man is, fgurativey speaking, from Missouri. He wants to be shown
 If you tell him that south Alabama sandy land will grow big potatoes and hundreds of bushels of them to the acre he wants to see the potatoes.
 Pictures of potato fields and orange orchards look pretty, but these do not satisfy the man whom you are trying to persuade to leave his happy home and migrate to a new and untred country.
 A windy speech about the greatness of country and it's possibilities by some hired spieler with leather throat may sound well and may attract a crowd of curious listeners, but when the speiler is through, if he is ever through, the man who is interested enough wants to be shown something.
 He wants to see the color of the pump kins, the size of the beets or the shape of the rutabagas.
 Came as Venture
 The people who are boosting Baldwin county are themselves mainly from the north and west. They came on ven- rure, tried the possibilities and found them good They know their neighbors and know how to go after them.
 They can recommend the state and the section in which they are interested, but .ey know also that mere words and printed literature will not convince those other neighbors who have not seen.
 The kind of immigrant that Baldwin county wants and is going after is not the man that is ready to come on the

constructed of galvanized wire net ting. The traps are about six feet six inches long and eighteen inches deep. The entrance is V-shaped, turning down. abruptly and forming funnel through which the bottom fishes enter.
 "On account of theft by poaching fishermen the collecting traps are set without any buoys or markers of any sort" says MT. Mowbray, except that in the case of deep water submerged buoy is attached, to float some IF or 15 feet under the water, so that the line to the trap can be secured. The trap Is baited according to the kind of fish to be captured. For instance, when setting for the angel fish the bait used is mussel, lobster or any Of the large crustaces, crushed and placed in the bottom of the trap. The sea urchin is also excellent bait for this fish, but a great disadvantage in using sea urchins is the damage done 10 the

the signal for the coming of others. These people have not only taken the place of the lumber and turpentine population that followed the migration of the indus try, but they have gone beyond this and promise to make of Baldwin one of the most populous agricultural counties of the state.
 Average Sized Farm
 Another feature of interest is that the average farm in Baldwin county settled by this new class of farmers is 20 acres. This is not because the immigrants are unable to buy more land, but they are the class of farmers who make more on ten acres than the average native Alabama farmer has been accustomed to produc- ing on four times that many acres. The new Baldwin county farmer wants no more land than he can manage well.
 Baldwin county does not possess all the cream of Alabama in agricultural possibilities The people. of that progress sve county may have 1t on the rest of the state In immigration methods, but what those people are doing other people and other counties can do.
 State's Opportunity
 The immigration machinery of the state government might learn lessons of prac- tical wisdom from the example of Bald win county, The climate that has helped to make Baldwin county famous has not been monopolized by that section. It is spread all over the state in luscious lay CTS as high as the twinkling stars and the benevolent sun.
 There are thousands of acres of land in Alabama as productive as those along the gulf and some of them more pro- ductive of some crops when skillfully handled Intelligence has done more to make Baldwin the Promised Land for progressive farmers than mere fertility of soil. The same intelligent methods would make garden spot of the entire agricultural section of the state.
 If the people behind the "All Alabama dovement' recently started in Montgom- cry want to do something really henefi- cial for the state they might do we'll to study Baldwin county methods.

Catching Fish Alive

From the New York Times.
 Fishing without injury to the fish has been brought down to a science by those whose business it is to keep the New York aquarium stocked with rare specimens from waters in the far south. Just how tropical fishes are caught and shipped to the aquarium IS . question which has been asked many times of late by visitors there. It has just been answered in an article writ ten by l.. l.. Mowbray curator in charge of the Bermuda aquarium, and published in the current issue of the New York Geological society's bulle- tin.
 Curator Mowbray says that the prin- cipal method of capturing bottom fishes" or those which live at the bottom of the sea, is by fish traps placed at depth of from one to twelve fathoms of water. These traps are

Baldwin and Mobile counties made a most creditable display at the land show that has just closed at Chicago.
 Baldwin and Mobile are the only coun- ties in Alabama that are making any practical. up-to-date effort to secure choice agricultural immigration.
 As a result of the work that is being done by these counties large numbers of progressive and intelligent farmers are nocking4- from the northwest seeking homes and buying homes in the southern part of Alabama.
 Some come, of course, who are not sat- isfied and either return north or seek some other location in the south, but tho great majority of people who come to south Alabama are making satisfied and valuable citizens.
 Baldwin Is Pioneer
 Baldwin county is the pioneer in Ala bama in the practical movement to se- cure first-class immigration from the north and west. The people of this coun- ty began the work several years ago and Mobile, seeing the good results, joined in this year.
 The work was started and Is being maintained by large land-owning syndi- cates and requires money and men of ability, but the results are more than compensating for the effort and expense. Men of good address, conservative and honest, have been sent to the north and west seeking people who would like to emigrate to new and better country--if not a better country a section that offers some advantages in climate or price of farm lands that are not available at home.
 Show the Goods These agents of the county and inter- ests involved are not sent out with nicely Autographed literature and well learned speeches, but they are loaded down with material proof of the productiveness of the soils they are exploiting.
 They carry samples of oranges, pota- toes, corn, cotton, fruits of all kinds, min iature bales of hay and other products of the farm. If there is a land or agri- cultural show at Chicago, Cincinnati pr my other central point in the north and west an exhibit of products is assembled

Hair ornaments are now "awfully ex- pensive," says New York woman, who has returned from Europe. where she fitted out two daughters for the social season. She asserts that gowns, even lingerie of silk, fine linen outer wraps and hats are much less costly than for sev- eral seasons, but, alas, for slippers, hair ornaments and the minor accessories. Each gown must have it's adornment for the locks and some dlstinctice corsage trimming. Real gems and genuine gold and silver are lavishly used in the half wreaths and in the big single flowers slippers have golden buckles sparkling with jewels. and the girl who goes out at all must possess a good half dozen pairs.
