at Soutbport, were flxblng oir the docfc In
front of the Stewart House, something seeming

v..l.ntiiucr Write* From Furi*.
l'urls. August 6, 1DU7.
Mr. Editor?I liave bwu so busy for ?be past
three wet tin Willi traveling timi official duties,
that 1 have not been able to write about our
work, lor tbe inlormatlon of the people at
borne, au 1 had boped to do. Since my last
letter we have traveled some three thousand
miles, much of the traveling being done at
night, and we have not spent more than two
days at any one place.
My last letter give an account of our trip
through Northern Itaty and Southern France.
After arriving in Switzerland our sub committee
decided that the German government
*hould be notified of our coming and our Intentions
before entering German territory,
and I was deputized to visit .Berlin for that
purpose. There I was met by tbe American
abansaiior, Hon. Charlemagne Tower, who introduced
me to the German secretary of foreign
affairs and other government officials.
Germany Is very Jealous of her citizens and
there are stringent laws against attempts to
encourage emigration. The officials thought
at first (hat the purpose of ihe Immigrations
commission was to Induce Germau people to
emigrate to the Uulted States, but as soon as
they understood our mliision X was given a
cordial welcome and assured of the government's
approval of our plans. As proof of
this, the secretary detailed two very excellent
gentlemen to accompany us on our tour
* 1 ' hom fn
through the country anu unuuracu
give us every faculty for securing Information
bearing on our mission. The gentiomon
were Alr.Carl Arndtand Mr. F. H.Von Kluck.
Mr. Arndt Is connected with the Hamburg.
American Steamstlp company and Mr. Von
Kluck is with the North German Lloyd.
Both these companies handle a great many
emigrants every year, and being familiar
with all matter? pertaining to Immigration
they were of great assistance to us.
At Dresden the ladles of the party left ns
and proceeded to Berlin to await us while we
visited the Immigrant control siatlons on the
German frontier. 1 was accompanied by
Representative Burnett and Representative
Howell, the other members of tne subcommittee.
Tbe control stations were of considerable
interest to us, and by seeing them
we were able to learn moreabont the Immlgrants
who come to the United States from
Russia and Austria-Hungary than we could
bave learned in any other way. Immigrants
from these countries to tbe United States
have to pass tbrongn German territory to
reach a port to take a steamer. At tbe frontier
tbey have to go through a station which
Is owned and maintained by the steamship
companies, bat which Is under government
control. There they undergo a rigid elimination
and inspection, In order that those
who are not allowed to enter our country unler
our laws may not be carried further. If
;beyare rejected they are not allowed to enter
Jerman territory, as German laws as
n admission ol aliens are even more
itringent than cur own. After pausing
be inspection the emigrants are under
he supervision of the government until
,bey land In the United Mates. The laws
jrovlde for good treatment for them while
saRBlng through Germany and on shipyard
and as far as we could see the transpuratlon
companies are trying to carry out the
aw. Ifau emigrant Is brought to ttie United
Males and not allowed ts enter by the lmmltrant
Inspectors, the law requires the steamihlp
company to return him to his home
without cost and the steamship oompany Is
iIbo liable to a flue for bringing over a prohibitive
immigrant. For these reasons If for
10other, the Hteamsbip companies have to
>e very careful as to the class of Immigrants
hey handle. At these control stations, for
nstance, If the Immigrants are suRpected of
laving been exponed to contagious diseases
hey are at once isloated and kept under medcalsupervision
until all daDger has passed.
7It Is thought necessary their baggage and
*ven their clothing Is disinfected.
We vlslied the control stations at Myelowlts,
viemel, Thorn and Insterberg, and after
Inlsblng up at tbe latter place we took a
K>uple of day* off from our regular work and
vent over to St. Petersburg. Tbe visit to tbe
Russian capital was very interesting but digressing.
The country is quite different from
inv other that we have seen, and tbe people
eflected in their appearance and general
searing, as well as In their manner of llviog,
;be effects of bad and oppressive government,
['here was a marked contrast between tbe
>eople In Russia and those In Germany and
be difference In tbe two countries could even
>e noted in riding along on tbe train. Tbe
arms are not as well kept in Russia, tbe catle
being poorer and smaller than in Germany
ind tbe towns that we passed bad a dilapllated,
poverty stricken appearance, quite
llflerent from those In any other country
hat XVa hn vp HAPn.
LeavlDg St. Petersburg we oame back to
ierlln, and after reeling tbere for a day proleeded
to Hamburg, and from there we went
o Bremen. Both these are Important ports,
Lach handling many Immigrants every year
or the United 8tates, At Hamburg we were
;lven a luncheon by the directors of the
lamburg-Amerlcan steamship company,
md by a committee from the senate of the
>rovince of Hamburg, and at Breman we
vere given alucbeon by the directors of the
forth-German Lloyd company, and a dinner
>y the senate of Bremen. The entertainments
:iven us at these places were very pleasant,
ispeclally that given by the senate of Bremen.
Bremen la an old city, and has for
lundredsof years had an Independent govirnment.
The Rathaus, or city ball, Is a very
>ld and Interesting building. Part of It was
?ullt In the thirteenth century, and It was
ompleted In tbe sixteenth oeatury. It Is
'enerable In appearanoe from tbe outside,
md even more so on the Interior. The main
tall. In which tbe publio meetings are held, is
llled with rare paintings, carvings, models of
hips, etc. In tbe basement of the building
here Is a rathskeller, or public drinking
dace, wbere wine* and beers and other w
irinks are sold. After the dinner we went I
brough tbe ratbBkeller, wbere several bun- B
ired people were sealed at tables eallng and ?Irlnklng
and talking. These drinking places I
,re to be found In every city and town In I
Germany, and are liberally patronised. Ido 1
lot admire them, but candor compels me to
ay that with all the drinking tbere seems to
ie little of what would be called lntemper,nce,
I have not eeen an Intoxicated person
n Germany, and I doubt if I could say that
fter having visited as many cities In the
;nueu oiateit hh i uavo vuuou ucic,
Tbe last few days spent In German territory
rere very pleasant indeed. Tbe people with
rhom we came in oontact were hospitable
nd spared no pains to provide for onr com- TJ
jrt and convenience. All of onr party carry XX
wey very happy recollections of Germany
nd tbe German people.
Leaving Bremen on tbe morning of July 29,
ve weit to Rotterdam, one of tbe large ports V
n Holland. Holland is a low, flat country, "
ut is thickly populated and seems quite
irosperous. Stocktaking, dairying, and
rain and grass growing are tbe principal
grlcultural pursuits, and there is a good deal
f manufacturing. Much |of tbe land Is be3w
tbe level of tbe sea, and great diliee have
een built to bold tbe water In check, as has
een done along tbe Mississippi river. There
re a great many oanals through tbe country,
bey having been constructed partly for lrrl- "Pi
atlon purposes and partly for transptrta- Ul
Ion; and in some places it seemed that tbe
oundary line of every farm was marked by Bn
onnnl. The famous Dutch wind mills were
o be found on every Bide, and ibe flat ooudry,
Intersected by cauaU and dotted wlib
rlntimllls, furulsUed unique but pleasing
lctures,
At Rotterdam we were but half an boar's
lde (rom The Hogue, where the Internatlon,1
Peace Conference 1b being held, and of
ourse we felt that as we were so near we
ould not aflord to pass by without seeing It.
)o our arrival at The Hague, however, we
ound that e^ery hotel In the town was filled HE
o overflowing, and we bad to go out to
IcheveneDgln, a seaside resort about ten
atles away. In order to get a place to Bleep.
'he corner stone of the Hall of Peace, the ua
uoney for which was given by Mr. Andrew
Carnegie, was laid on tbe afternoon that we _.
eacbed The Hague, but we did not get to jQ
?ltnes6 the ceremony, lor tbe reasons stated.
On our way here we stopped for a night at if
Antwerp, and inspected the provisions for "
he immigrants at that port, and then went
iver to Brussels, tbe capital of Belgium. The
lattlefleld of Waterloo, where Napoleon met
lis defeat, 1b lourteen miles south of tbe city
>f Brussels, and we went out to see It one
ifternoon. Tbe battlefield was very Interesting,
bat was quite different trom what 1 bad
xpeeted to >>ee, There Is now no trace of tbe
rencb In which no mauy of Napoleon's oav- n>
tlry lost their lives, for Ibe ground has been Ol
evelled, the dirt being taken to build a great
ound that mwrks tbe place where the i
'ouDg Prince of Orange was wounded. The D6
nound covers Ave acres at the base, and is
irobably 80 or 90 feet high, surmounted by a
:reat stone lion. We went up to the top of al
he mound and had a splendid view of the
lattlefield and the surrounding country,
'here are only two or three monuments on
be battlefield, and tbe*e are not very fine
>nes. Tbe houses in wblob Napoleon and tbe
)uke of Wellington mad* their headquarters
re still standing, as is tbe farm bouse of
iugomont, where much of tbe hardest light- -n
ng took place. The governments of Franoe, Jjl
England and Belgium are doing little If
nything to preserve tbe battlefield and mark
be places occupied by the different troops,
vhlcb seems a pity. The field is now all In
ultlvatlon and presents a peaceful scene,
ind perhaps it is better so.
The hardest ot tbe work assigned to the
ub-commlttee of which J have tbe honor to
>e chairman is now about completed, al- if
bougb there is yet a good deal to do. We
vlll spend six or eight days in France, and
ben go to England. We are scheduled to
all for home from Liverpool on August 29tb
md will reach New York od Sept. (itb.
In tills letter, Mr. Editor, I have merely atempted
to give a running account of our
ravels since may last letter was written, and
lave not gone vary far Into the work we have
>een doing. During the trip I have learned Ci
i good deal about immigration that 1 did not
mow before, and I have some very strong
:onvlctlons as to some matters, although I OS
:annotsay that my general views on the
ubject bave undergone any great change.
L'o get Into the matter now would make this
etter too long, though I hope, with your it
lermlsslon, to set forth my Impressions ot ?
be Immigration question, based upon my
(bservatlons while on this trip, in u subseluent
letter to your paper.
Respectfully,

Letter to L. W. Dick.
Abbeville, 8. C.
Dear Sir: We should like to set
your boys and girls at work on tbls
question in arithmetic and casuistry.
A farmer is fatting three hogs Id
three small pens; they have equal
room and straw and care, and are fed
in these three ways: first hog, on a
certain proportion of milk and cooked
jornmeal; second hog, on the same,
naif water; third hog, on the same,
balf water and sawdust. How long
will it take, how maoh will they
weigh, how much will they cost, ana
that'll the profit be on the three?
And Q similar question in pigmen;ry.
That same farmer is going to
paint three barns same size; and he
jays to three painters: "what'll you
?ke to paint tbat barn ?"
First painter scratches his head a
few minutes and says : "I'll do It for
*50"
Second painter"|75."
Third painter: "$97.48."
Will tney each get a barn to paint,
jl uuu. gc* iwu, ui uuo cui tuicc) ui uir
aody any; ana wbat'll they make on
toe Job ?
That's about how painting goes
lometlmee.
But there is a way to reckon : $5 a
gallon. The difficulty is fin knowing
aow many pallons to buy. There's a
way out of that.
Buy the least-gallons paint, Devoe.
No mutter how much one buys; he
returns what's left: coets nothing.
Yours truly
