Little Elita Scherer, the bright little
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Jack Scher-
er, entertained her friends at a party

evenings pleasure was 'pinning the
tail on the donkey" The successful
ones were Marguerite Duvic, Aggie
Denis, Phil Borne and c. Terrebone,

in getting his men down and back.
The water main will, of course, be
necessary for general purposes, and
as the water system is owned by the
city, there seems to be no reasonable
doubt as to its being extended. The
gas main will be needed by the station
for an auxiliary lighting system in
case the electricity should fail. Then,
too, the gas main will be necessary to
the station restaurant, which will be
an adjunct to the station. The gov
eminent will provide sleeping uarters
for about one hundred persons and
meals for all persons detained at the
station will be furnished by contract,
the government specifying about what
must he furnished. The cost of the
meals TO be charged to the steamship
company that brings over the immi-
grants detained. The Immigrants will

migrants will take their exercise on
the roof, which will be adapted for
that purpose.
The station will greatly facilitate
the handling of the immigrants" said
Mr.. Redfern yesterday, for at present
when any are detained they must be
held aboard ship, thus retarding the
discharge of cargo and loading of the
vessel and necessitating strict watch
being kept on them by the ships Off
Gals, as the steamship company is
fined for each immigrant that escapes,
MES do not care to bring their immi
grant traffic to a port where the IA
cilities are such that their vessels
may be tied up for weeks at a time.
When the station is completed, how
ever, it will only be necessary for the
boat to land at the dock, send the i'm
migrants ashore with their belongings,
and proceed to its regular wharf while
the government looks after the immi-
grants. For that purpose it will reuire
about fifty persons at the local station
if the business is what | think it pos
sible to secure. These employees will
include the examining physicians, in
spectors, who will number about ten
or twelve, and about eight or ten
guards, besides the engineer, fireman,
matron, cooks, walters, laborers and
various other necessary employees.
I'VE do not expect that the building
Of immigration stations at various
ports will necessarily increase the i'm
migration to the United States" con-
tinued Mr.. Redfern, but it will tend
to scatter them more throughout the
country, taking them away in a great
measure from the congested centers
of population"
1t is expected that bids will be
asked for this week for the demolition
of the buildings at present cucumber
ing the site and preparations will be
made soon thereafter for the begin
ming of work.

NUMBER OF MARINES
SENT HERE

From the manner in which recruits
have been sent to the marine bar.
racks in Algiers it would appear that
the officers of the Marine Corps will
use the post for the purpose of break
lag in men before they are assigned
to any other garrison or sea duty.
During the past month there were
forty men sent from Algiers to Port
ROYAL, S. c., and Pensacola, the de
tachments neing eually divided Even
With this exodus there are ninety men
at the barracks, which breaks every
other record for marines on the rolls
there.
The recruits have come from cities
close at hand. A resident of Algiers
remarked yesterday that this section
is 'the logical point for Marines" and
there is little doubt of the govern.
ment approaching this fact. The res
ervation is cOmmodlous, and there
would be no trouble in adding any
number of buildings needed to house
more men if they were sent there.
Even if it is decided to move the
great naval dry dock and still retain
the other buildings, the marines would
not be moved; on the contrary, the
number would be enlarged TO prop
erly guard the machinery. The raw
ones" are given all the drilling and
ether things necessary to make them
fit for the service. Captain Purcell
has become popular with the men con
nected with the post because of con.
sideration of their comfort and his
efforts to do everything to lelp i'm
prove conditions.

been taken on the grounds for this,
it being much more centrally located
than Elmira avenue, and no doubt the
patrons of the bank will very much
appreciate the change of location.
