fortigners-about mise -enths Irish, and one-tenth
Italian and many Of them. we believe we're beggars
by trade before they came here asd others we're pau
pers shipped bore by those who preferred that course
rather than support them at home.
We stated that over 900 people we're fed, in the
Sixth Ward, on Friday and Saturday lsst Mr. Mo

burden.
