WHITE SERVANTS
FOR THE SOUh
IMMIGRATION TO SOLVE THE .
DOMESTIC HELP PROBLEM.
Preparing to Bring a Number of
White Girls to This State from
Ireland and Distribute Them
Where Most Needed.
Columbia. March 19.-Mr. P. Jur
-ensen. of the North -German Lloyds,
who was here today on a trip through
the south appointing local agents for
his steamship company, expressed the
opinion to this correspondent that the
solution of both the immigration and
the servant problem in the south lies
in giving>-proper encouragement to a
good class of immigrants to come into
the cities and towns and work as ser
vants.
He denied that the experiments
tried at. several points in North Caro
lina and at the winter resorts in
South Carolina had proved failures,
and said that his long experience in
dealing with immigrants to the
Northwest had demonstrated the
necessity of this way of handling the
newcomers, and he accounted for the
fact that the work of bringing immi
grants into the south was meeting
with slow and otherwise slow success
by pointing to the way the immi
grants areh andled after they get
here. He said that the immigrants
had no objections to working in the
same community where negroes are
employed as servants.
After Mr. .Turgensen had seen Im- 1
migration Commissioner Watson,
however, he changed his view in many
respects. Mr. Watson went over the
situatioi with him carefully and
showed him that the only way to
bring immigrants into the south so
they will stay is by the colonization
plan, instancing a number of cases in
which the newcomers had become dis
satisfied and gone away, and point
ing out the wonderful possibilities of
trucking in this section so favored
over the Northwest by climate.
The demands upon Mr. Watson's
office from every part of the state
for servants has been steadily grow
ing, but so far he has not been able to
meet it in any adequate manner,
though he has placed a few servants
here and there. .
"We think we will have much of
this servant evil cured in about i
months, though,'' Commissioner Wat
son said, "through a scheme we have
blocked out and are about to put into I
operation. Mr. Herbert sails fromj
New York on the 24th for Glasgow
and will work in the. north of Ireland
section, where the people have not
be'en used to high. wages. These im
migrants, in families as far as possi
ble, will be passed at Ellis Island and
put right aboard a Clyde steamer for
Charleston, being ticketed straight
through to Columbia, where they will1
be distrib1uted near the towns so that
the girls who will work in the families
will be safegnarded and will be more
acceptable in the homes. If those
New York labor agents get hold of
them even ever night it 's all off so far.
as this section is'concerned.
"On 'a recent trip to New York I
heard women immigrants just off the
boat offered as high as $45 a month.
and home to cook. We simply can't
meet these sort of prices and wfile
the people here are willing to pay a
little more than they are paying ne
groes, it is impossible to supply this
section with white servants in any1
other way than that I have suggest-I

The Radical State Treasurer's Name

The State.
Washington,. March 17.-It may or
may not be significant; in either
event it is~interesting that at the very
time "The Clansman,'' which at
tempts to portray the evils of Recon
struction and has its setting in South
Carolina, was being produced in
Washington, the alumni of the M
street high school for negroes in this
city met and passed the following
resolutions, of course without any
thought of the play at the Columbia
theatre on F street:

Besides having been state treasurer
nder Chamberlain, he had been sec
retary of state under S:ott.
Cardozo was an educated negro.
bout the time of the war, perhaps
.,ring it, he worked at ship carpen
;ering, in which trade he saved up
;ome money. When he was 21 years
>ld he went to Scotland and entered
Jhe University of Edinburgh. Here he
)raduated with such distinction that
e won a scholarship which allowed
im two years' university work in any
nnstitution he might select in Europe.
Ele chose some theological school in
ondon, where he went and became a
'Reverend.'' He then entered the
ninistry of the Congregational church
-eceiving a call to a church in New
Elaven. Connecticut. Soon afterwards,
iowever, he was sent by the Ameri
an mission board to Charleston as
rincipal of the Avery institute. And
~rom there, as his sons, who are here
n Washington. lell me, "hie went
.nto politics.'' And we knov the rest
-Reynolds' History of Reco'ns'rne
:ion tells us a few interesting items.
In 1877 Cardozo took his flight with
he rest, as said above, and secured a
job in the , treasury department in
~Vashington. his salary being $1,600
t year. He remained in this position
intil 1884, when through his old
riend,f 'Dr. Purvis,'' he was elected,
o the position of principal of the
;chool for negroes, now known as the
a Street- high school. H. W. Purvis

>~urvis'' he is right here in Washing

ie job of some kind of physician or
;urgeon or instructor in therapeutics
r some such thing in one of these
icspitals or something of the sort.
t~nyway, Uncle Sam has been look

'hile, I understand.
But Cardozo, he remained principal
)f the high school until he died, about
:wo years ago. He has a son. Franeis

I have made careful inquiries about

"Isle Of Spice."
One of the most elabora e and gor

B. C. Whitney's "isle of Spice,"I
which will appear at this theatre in
the near future. The "Isle of Spice"~
was one of the few big musical suc

theatrical attraction may lay claim*
to the often misused title of "metro
politan success," the "Isle of Spice"
may, for within the past two years it
has played 150 nights each in Chica
go, Boston and New Yo~rk City. It
has but recently closed its long run at
the Majestic Theatre, New York City,1
and will be presented here with the
identical company9 scenery, electrical
anl mechanical effects that have had
so mneh to do with its popularity.
The book cf the "Isle of Spice" is
by Allen Lowe and Geo. E. Stoddard,
tie music being by Paul Schindler and
Ben M. Jeromie. It tells the story of
Bompopka, sixty-seventh king of Nic
