About Emigration.

PARIS, Nov. 25.-The International emf.
grafton conference opened in this city to-
day. NJ. Jules Simon, the distinguished
French statesman and author, presided
European countries, in which the question
of emigration has become a pressing one,
have sent delegates to take part in the
conference, with the exception of England
and Russia. The former will, however,
have a representative present, but he is in
structed by his government simply to
watch the proceedings and deliberations
The reasons for these instructions are be-
lieved 10 be that England may not be ready
TO adopt the measures decided upon by the
conference.
The United States government is repre-
sented by Mr.. Frederick Brackett, special
foreign agent of the treasury department.
The instructions given him by Secretary
Foster contain the statements that all
worthy people will be received in his coun-
try, which. however, is determined to ex-
clude criminals, paupers and other undesir-
able persons, so that the conference should
recommend thorough inspection of emf
grants at the ports of embarkation and
that the American government will COOP
crate in the enforcement of measures hav-
ing that object in view.
When the session was formally opened
to-day by NJ. Simon there were only fifty
persons present and half of these were la
dies. Bracket stated that he was author
lied by the American government to attend
the conference, but he had no authority to
take any part in its business.

University Entertainer emit.

a very enjoyable programme was rem
dered at the Fort Worth university last
night under the auspices of the Oriphelian
society, an adjunct of the institution of
which it forms a part Some exceedingly
clever work-work that would have graced
older and maturer minds-was presented to
the audience, who filed the chapel hall to
overlooking. The exercises consisted of
delightful miscellany of recita-
tions, music and original composition,
and the ensemble was as symmetrical and
harmonious ds a Chatauqua gathering. The
limitations of space forbid notice of each
of the participants, but it may not be amiss
TO advert to some of the more striking feat
ures of the entertainment Miss Witwer'S
recitation, IN Japanese costume, of the
"Ballad of Waska Vice. was a coquettish
rendition that quite captured the audience
and elected much praise for her teacher,
Miss Nelke, whose skillful handiwOrk had
impaired much of the teachers intuition to
the pupil.
Miss Herron's ''Trouble With the Choir"
was pathetic and vigorous delineation.
The singing of Miss Perryman, as usual,
provoked an encore. Miss j. G. Terrell's
"Original Story" betrayed the germ of con-
structive power, which we confidently
expect will expand with increasing years.
The universIt, deserves the generous pat
ronage that has been afforded it by the peo-
pie of Fort Worth.
