THE United States consul at Gibraltar
has made a report to the state depart
ment in regard to foreign immigration
to the United States, in which he says
that no less than thirty-one foreign
steamships have touched at that port
during the last four months, carrying
20,065 Italian immigrants to the United
States, and that several other steam
ships are expected to follow soon from
the same quarter, with immigrants in
such numbers as to constitute a regular
exodus from the Italian kingdom. The
United States consul at Naples reports to
the state department, under date Of
April %, that vast multitude of immi-
grants are leaving that port for the
United States, every steamer sailing for
New York being filed to its utmost Ca
pacity with Italians, principally from
the provinces. He says the Neustra,
which sailed on April %, carried 1855
immigrants; the India, which sailed the
next day, carried $50, and the Belgravia,
which sails on the 30th, will take over
1 400. Other steamers equally heavily
freighted with immigrants for the
United States will also sail shortly. The
consul says he is informed that certain
districts in Italy are nearly depopulatet
of men, leaving the work of cultivatine
the ground to be done by women alto

Lac TRuE MAN-AsouT.TowN,

He Isn't = Rounder, but Is n True Bohe-
milan, Undecided by HIS Surroundings.
sThe New Yorker who is pointed out
as a man-about-town," said a club man,
sis, If he really deserves the title,
pretty clever fellow. Very often the
name is misapplied, and a man who is a
familiar figure in the best-known bar
rooms and in non-respectable resorts,
who is properly a 'rounder' in the
worst sense of that term, is confounded
with the bright and interesting man
whose intelligence and good taste
place him far above the man who is
compared with him. The man-about
town is properly Bohemian OF the
highest class. He never seems out
Of place whether he be in q
Fifth avenue drawing room or in q
Water street dance hall; he is never con-
taminated by his surroundings, whether
these be the snobbishness and affecta-
ton of the Anglo-maniacs for the unre-
served coarseness of a lot of Fourth
ward toughs He looks at everything
from the standpoint of the thorough
cosmopolitan man who understands
that all sorts make up the world and
who is DESTROYS of knowing everything
that is of human interest without APP
pearing to pass Judgment on anything.
1t is this disinclination to pose as a
critic that makes him look SO impas-
sive at all times, and that gives rise to
the impression that he is blase. He
really isn't, and can be as jolly as an
untamed school boy. He is always the
best and most interesting of compan-
ions, and the least egotistical.
"Such is the true man-about-town,
and il the average man would fall in
his track for a few days only he would
realize how much there is in
this big city and how much en-
| joyment can be gotten out Of
it by the inquisitive citizen. The
man-about-town may be mil
lionaire, an artist, merchant, news
paperman, or anything else, provided
he has the instincts of his genus. The
artist and the newspaper man have nat
urally more opportunities to develop in
| this direction than men in more pros.
sale walks of life, but the keenest re-
/ porter may never become a man-about
town nevertheless, because he may lack
some necessary elements in his make
up. ~T-@"
''Men-about-town usually recognize
each other at first sight, and there i.
always bond of sympathy between
them. They naturally meet frequently
in travelling through the highways ant

though it may seem, they all strike
about the same places. Being con
stantly on the hunt for new features O

The Government Alarmed Over the
Strength of the Republican Movement.
MADRID, May 25.-The government is
gravely alarmed over the growing
strength of the Republican movement in
Spain. Since their victories in the
municipal elections, the Republicans have
begun to recover from the depression in
to which they were cast by the over
whelming triumph of the Royalists in
the early part of the year, and they are
both resolute and demonstrative in as
sorting their opposition to monarchysm.
In Madrid, where the Republicans
scored a remarkable success, the newspa-
pers of the party are outspoken in call
ing for reform and retrenchment in the
national and local administration, while
there is no concealment of sympathy
with the Republican struggle In Portu-
gal The tour of President Carnot is also
commented on as showing the stability
and security Of Republican institutions

CURED here about midnight. Lord
William Romily was in his drawing room
at his London town house, No. 2 Owing
ton Gardens, s. W., when he accidentally
upset a parafine lamp, causing blaze
which set fire to the apartment.
Lord Romily attempted in vain to ex-
tinguish the flames, which spread, oaus-
ing suffocating smoke. His lordship
was overcome by the smoke, and sank
senseless to the floor.
The butler, smelling the smoke, rushed
to the drawing-room. There he found
Lord Romily helpless. He at once pulled
his lordship out of the room, and by his
cries aroused the other servants.
An alarm of fire was given, and en-
gines hurried to the scene and soon ex-
tinguished the flames. The firemen, en-
tering the house, found two of the ser
wants, Blanche Griffin, the housemaid,
and Emma Lowell, the cook, both sense
less.
A great crowd surrounded the house
and the excitement was intense. Lord
Romily was removed to st. Georges Hos
pital, but all attempts to bring him to
life failed. Both the servants named
were already dead when carried to ths
hospital. ..:.s ~ -. -
Lord William Romily was descended
from the great jurisconsult, Sir Samuel

A FEW years ago the evil of emptying
sewage into the English creeks and
brooks, with their small flow and their
brief course, forced itself on the SANTA
rians and they all turned their attention
to the land disposal of sewage, which
for time it was thought would solve
the problem. But it was found that the
system had limitations; that, while it
was often suited for small places, it
could be used for large ones only under
exceptional circumstances. 1t was dis
covered that the sewage is of no great
value as fertilizer, and that when clay
soils are treated with it for a few years
they sour, and the vegetation, as at
Paris, Edinburg and elsewhere, is rank
and unwholesome. The only great city
where the results have been at all salts
factory is Berlin, which is located on Il
wide, sandy, barren plain which absorbs
the sewage. 1t is too soon to tell
whether the process will continue to be
success there, although Berlin has
already spent about S25, 100000 on the
experiment. But she has no other posi-
BILE way~of disposing of her sewage.
The royal commission on London sew
age discharge said emphatically that
the Berlin system would not do for a
great English city.

A clever hotel counter trick was
played at the Continental recently by a
friend of Mr.. Kingsley. The gentleman
took ten silver quarters and laid them
out carefully on the marble counter
One of the clerks selected one at his
bidding, looked at it carefully SO as to
be able to distinguish it from the rest
and held it while the gentleman shook
up the quarters in his hat. Then the
quarter was thrown into the hat and
shaken up with the rest. The gentle
man then laid them out on the counter.
carefully placing them one by one so
as to form triangle. Then he moved
them mysteriously into the form of a
square and then into the form of a cross.
"Now the figures tell me-" said the
performer, 'that the quarter you se-
lected is the last one in the right arm of
the cross" '-.~
Eyes, that's it." said the clerk, in
amazement. sS.
He was tried many times and found
infallible every time. The secret was
that the quarters lying on the cold
marble were all especially cold as COM
pared with the one held for a moment
in the hand while the clerk found its
| distinguished marks. Picking them out
one by one, the performer told by the
| warmth which one was selected, and
his subsequent moving of the quarters
was for the purpose of mystiication,
while he kept his eye on the warm
| quarter and later pointed it out. The
trick is said to have been played by the

KoRTRIGHT, N. Y, May 25.-A singular
and most fatal disease has broken out in
the large hocks of sheep owned by De
Witt Sharp, of this place, who. puzzled
to account for the deaths of the animals,
communicated with the State authorities.
A thorough investigation and examine
ton of the sheep decided the State In
spector, Mr.. Quigly, to adopt drastic
measures, and all which had been with
those that had died, numbering about
200, were at once killed and their bodies
burned.
1t was found that the animals had died
from worms which had preyed on the
liver and other organs, and their exist
ence is traced back to certain parasites,
generally flies, which lay eggs on the
grass eaten by the sheep. 1t is believed
that the disease has been imported from
the West, as number of sheep were
brought from there few months ago by
Mr. Sharp. and until then it was totally
unknown here. So
