Stenographers and Typewriters
on the Pennsylvania
Limited.

Recognizing the increasing popu-
larity of the Limited among the bust
ness and professional men of the cOun-
try, the Pennsylvania Railroad Com.
pany has decided to still further i'm
prove the facilities of this wonderful
train, and add to its cOnveniences by
introducing a stenOgrapher and type
writer for the service Ofthe passengers.
A bright, young man, expert in both
branches of his profession, will be
placed on each train between New
York and Pittsburgh to take the die
tation and transcribe on the typewriter
the correspondence of the passengers
who detire to avail themselves of his
services. By this means a business or
professional man can attend to his cor
respondenCe en- route, and thus secure
a great saving of time. A compart-
ment will be fitted up on each train
for this purpose, and the letters will
be mailed from the train as they are
written. This novel and convenient
arrangement will 60 into effect on
February 1st.
The business men already have the
advantage of the stock and weather
reports on the Limited, the ladie!
have their maid, their private bath
and their drawing-room in the obser
walton car, and the introduction of al
amanuensis will round out the com
pleteness of the trains conveniences t,

that are provided on the Pennsylvania

Large Yield of Corn.

The most phenomenal yield of corn
ever produced in America has been
awarded the prize of $500 offered by
the American Agriculturist for the
largest crop of shelled corn grown ca
one acre in 1889. The crop was within
a fraction of 255 bushels, green weight,
which shrunk to 239 bushels when kiln
dried, and when chemically dried con-
tanned 217 bushels.
The South Carolina State board of
agriculture doubled the prize, making
the award 81 900 in all. This crop was
grown by Y ]. Drake, of Marlboro
county, South Carolina. 1t is nearly
twice as large as the greatest authenti-
Gated crop ever before reported. The
$500 awarded for the largest yield Of
wheat last year goes to Henry F. Bur
ton, of Salt Lake City, Utah, for 8
yield of 80 bushels on one acre.

The Worlds Fair Committee are in
session to hear the claims of the various
contestants for the privilege of having
the site within their borders. St. Louis
has been heard from, and if its claims
are to be believed, there is no further
need of hearing others. They can do
anything out there the committee
wants. They will make it hot or cold,
wet or dry, as each individual visitor
wishes, and nothing will be left undone
to meet the desires of the most fas-
tidiOus. Chicago and New York will
be heard, and then the claims of st.
Louis will dissolve like dew before the

universe there are none which can
draw the long bow just quite equal to
Chicago and New York. New York is

1t is reported that a quiet settlement
of the famous will case of A. T. Stew
art has been effected outside of Court.
The estate was estimated at $50, 100000
of which Judge Hilton accepts $6,000,-
600. and releases about S25. 100000 to
the other heirs-at law rather than
submit to court publicity. It is said
that Judge Hilton was the natural son
of A. T. Stewart, and for that reason
he had possession of the entire estate
at the death of Mrs. Stewart. Judge
Hilton is still very rich man
exclusive of the Stewart estate; He
had been made rich even before the
death of A. T.Stewart.

Undesirable Immigrants.

The President says in his message:
"Our naturalization laws should be so
revised as to make the inquiry into
the moral character and good dispOsi-
tiOn towards our Government of the
persons applying for citizenship more
thorough" and he adds that "those
who are avowed enemies of social or
der or who come to our shores to swell
the injurious influence and to extend
the evil practices of any association
that defies our laws should not only be
denied citizenship, but a dOmiciLe.
The part of the Presidents sugges-
ton which we have italicised should
forerun that which relates to citizen
ship, as the evils resulting from injur-
ious immigration can be more readily
corrected by denying undesirable
aliens dOmicile. The harm is more
than half accomplished the moment
the alien who lacks either moral char
acter or good disposition towards our
Government is permitted to land on
our shores.
Although the law prohibits the land
ing of known criminals, it sets up no
sort of barrier against any one on ac-
| count of VillianOus character. The &C.
| ceptable immigrant must be neither a
criminal nor pauper, but he may be
! anything else, except native of Chi
ma. He may be a Communist, Social
! ist, Nihilist or Anarchist, or be may be
stepped in ignOrence, slOthfulness, Wis
ciousness to the crown of his head and
yet the doors are open as wide to him
as to the best. The law lays more
stress upon physical than moral de
fects, though private sentiment would
be in favor of makinga guest of thu
physically disabled rather than of the
morally afflicted person.
