Exspresident Cleveland aud Party
Given Warm RccepLion-wii-
miDgtOnians Cheer Him.
A large sssemblage OF Wilinipgtonians
gathered at the Delaware avenue station
OF the B. il D. railroad yesterday afternoon
week and greeted ex-President Cleveland
ond party es they passed through to New
York. The train OF three handsome cars
in charge ofJ. Van Smith, superintendent
OF the d. i p. division, halted few
minutes here to take up George W.
Childs OF Philadelphia, who accompanied
the party to New York. The distin-
guished travellers were ut luncheon 40 the
train passed through but rose to extend q
cordial greeting TO gallant Editor Ohilds.
Mrs. Cleveland was visible at the
window Of the dining car and was at
once the oentte of attraction. As the
train drew away from the station the ex-
President, In response to tho cheers of the
assemblage, appeared on the rear plat
form OF tho train and bowed. The other
passengers were ex-Postmsster and Mrs.
Dickinson, Mrs. Folsom, Mr.. and Mrs.
Lamont and their children. A handsome
basket of flowers, the gift of Mrs. Harri-
aon to Mrs. Cleveland, adorned the car.
When the train bearing ex-President
Cleveland and party arrived at Jersey
City an effort was made to avoid
the crowd, but II was not success
ful. An ever increasing throng was on
hand, scurrying across the tracks to meet
each incoming train to catch glimpse Of
Mr.. Cleveland and his wife. They did not
get discouraged either, but shiVersd and
remained in the bleak west wind. Then
cams the grand crush when the train
rolled in. Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland
alighted from tho rear platform OF the
third car. Cheering and crushing
followed down the platform tO
the carriages. Policemen attempted
In vain to stay the people.
Mrs. Cleveland smiled, as il pleased with
the warm reception. Mr.. Cleveland
several times touched his hat. And when
the two finally entered their carriages
and stood waiting for the other members
OF the party a man proposed three cheers
and tiger for Grover Cleveland, which
were given with will, ss also three
cheers for Mrs. Cleveland. Mr.. and Mrs.
Cleveland entered the first carriage, Mrs.
Lamont, the babies and maid, the second,
and ex-Secretary Dickinson, Mrs. Dickin-
son and Mrs. Folsom, the third. They
were driven on board the ferry and CON-
veyed direct to the New York shore at
Liberty street. Thence they were driven
to the Victoria Hotel direct.
The party arrived at the Victoria Hotel
OF As, and entered by the Fifth avenue
door. A crowd which had hung around
for several hours cheered as Mr.. and Mrs.
Cleveland got out of the carriages. They
passed immediately upstairs, and after
getting rid of the travel stains sat down
to dinner about 730. The chef of the
Victoria spread himself on the dinner.
Mrs. Ralph Gross johnson and Miss
Waller of Washington, who happened to
be in the hotel, joined the party at din
ner. They were pretty well tired after
the journey, and ordered that no one but
intimate friends should be sent up to SEQ
them. President Il. W. Glider has in
vited Mr.. Cleveland to the dinner of the
Fellowcraft Club.

DEATHS AMONG CHINESE.
Some Interesting Facts Gathered in
San Francisco.

From the San Francisco Bulletin.
The deaths among Chinese in this city
present some features which are of interest.
As nearly all Of the members of our Chi
nese colony are adults. between twenty and
fifty, the number of children being SO small
as to cut little or no figure in matters rela-
ting to our Monaghan population, and the
number of Mongolians over fifty being
very small, it would naturally be expected
that the death rate would be lower tnan
that of the entire population of the city.
Ia Il community where the average num-
Der of children are born the death
rate is made high by the deaths
among the little ones. For instance,
of the ASH Caucassisns who died in this city
in the ifs al year l6S6-'S7, 936 were children
under | wear OF age, aud l. l19, or % per
cent, were under 2 years. During the same
year there died 4SS Chinese, of whom only
As were under % years Of age. 1t would,
therefore. be natural TO suppose that the
death rate among the population OF Chinese
adults would be far less than that among
the rest of the inhabitants of the city.
This, however, is not the case. The death
rate among the Chinese, estimating their
number at $4,000, which is not far out of
the way, was %, while that Of the white
population was only IL. The death rate
among Chinese Of persons Of % years of age
aud over was 20; among whites, lO.9. or
the total deaths in each class the Chinese
show 90.2 per cent. above % years, and
whites G2; under 20. Chinese 9.S per cent,
whites 80.
These figures will, TO those accustomed to
study vital statistics, show terrible state
of affairs among our Chinese population.
Such a high death rate among adults means
something. One VINO knows little or moth
ing about Chinese and their mode of life
would at once say that they we're afflicted
with an epidem Of some kind; but those
who know them see at once thatit is simply
the manner of living which cause so many
deaths among those who should have
strong hold on life. Cheap food, the custom
of herding together in unhealthy quar-
ters, their willingness to live in
filth, all OF which enables them
TO underbid white labor, together with the
use OF opium and the practice Of almost
every known vice, make n death-rate which
should teach much to those who may think
that Chinese are not so bad portion Of our
population as they are painted Habits of
life which kill 30 large part Of the adult
population each year should not be made =
standard which the whit laborer must con-
form o. in order to keep his soul in his BODY.
1t would be better for him t. die at once
tban TO consent To supplant Chinese at such
a cost as would shorten the number of his
days one-haf.

THE SONG OF THE SHIRT.
1: is No Longer the Lament Of Under
paid Seamstresses.
From the Neir York .Stn


The ''song of the shirt" need not be sung
by those seamstresses who work in the
shirt factories. Their lot is far from being
an unhappy one, and all the poverty,
hunger aud dirt" they see is out
side Of the building in which
they work. The manufacture of
shirts as a commercial industry was first
established in 1882 by David and Isaac
Judson, clothing merchants OF this city.
Their trade was chiefly in the south, then
tne market for luxuries, and orders for
clothing were frequently accompa-
MED by orders for custom made
shirts, which were made by casual
seamstresses. This class of trade in
creased until the firm found it advisable
aud profitable to devote a regular depar-
ment to it, and out of this grew the manu-
facture of STOCK" as distinguished from
cust)m-made shirts. The first shirt factory
was at the corner of Cherry and Market
streets, where the building it occupie still
stands. The JudsCns had the business all
to themselves eight years befo other
dealers discovered hat shirts could be salts
factorily made in quantities. In 1910 two
other houses went into the wholesale s. irt
business, and others we're not long in fol
lowing. These earlier concerns we're not
factories in the modecnlmeaning. They were
more properly warehouses, where work was
prepared 10 be given out and lauudored and
stored for shipment when returned. The
sewing was done chiefly by the wives and
daughters of New England, especially those
of Connecticut, whose spare hours wera de-
voted to increasing the family Income. IL
was the earnings Of these country people
