ONLY ONE MORE RIVER TO CROSS.
Should the Chinese Exclusion Act Only
Expire Tuesday Night.
THE AGGREGATION SPREAD ITSELF
A Possible Show for the Agents of the
Government to Get in and do
Likewise.

DETROIT, April 29.-The woods are
full of Chinese over in Canada. 1t is
said the denizens of the Flowery King
dom, in large numbers, are lodging be-
hind trees and hiding in sequestered
hooks, ready to make break for the
United States the minute the clock
strikes u on the night of Sd. They
all firmly believe that on May 4th the
Chinese exclusion act will expire, and
they hope to slip into the United States
before the law now under consideration
in congress can be put into effect. This
numerous aggregation has consequently
spread itself out along the border all the
way from here to Vancouver, and is only
biding its time to get into this great
republic. Detroit. however, seems to be
the most favorable point at which the
Celestials can cross the border, for it is
the city most adjacent to Chicago,
whittier nearly all of them seem to be
bound. Because of this fact, Detroit has
always been fayorite port at which to
land after the trip through Canada from
the Pacific, and, although there are no
statistics, to prove it, it is undisputed
that more Chinese have been smuggled
across the Detroit river, at various
points, than at any other place in the
country. Capt. Pratt, special treasury
agent, says the Chinese are avoiding
Windsor, because they know they will
be closely watched there. The border is
as closely guarded as it can be by the
small force stationed here There is
more chance of the Chinese trying to
cross Marine city, or the mouth of the
river, than at Detroit.

Relief OF the Distressed.

CoRPUs CHRISTI, Tex, April 29.-The
distribution of food sent from this sec
tion to famine sufferers on the Rio
Grande city section began yesterday,
when rations were issued to 500 people,
some of whom were actually starving.
Unless further assistance is soon had,
many sufferers will die. The greatest
distress is reported from the country
back from the Rio Grande, where there
are many people who had hundreds of
cattle before the drouth, but are now
destitute, their stock having died.

When one comes to think Of it it seems
quite wonderful that one should be able
to buy pound Of salmon in can from
the Pacific coast for twenty-five cents.
The frozen fish costs forty cents a pound
at least. while the unfrozen article
ranges III eastern markets from one dol
Lar up. Besides, the manner in which
each can IS made to contain q segment
of salmon perfectly fitted into it appears
most surprising, the bones, even to the
larger vertebrae, melting in the mouth
without requiring so much as a crunch
between the teeth and the red flesh sep
arating in beautiful clean fakes
Yet salmon would be very much
cheaper than at present were it not that
the great Gamers of Alaska have formed
combination to restrict the product.
This is unfortunate for consumers per-
haps, but lucky certainly for the fish,
which would be wiped out altogether
within five years at the most if the com
panies engaged in their capture had a
market for all they could produce at
profitable rates. The methods employed
are the most destructive conceivable, in
asmuch as the fishermen stretch seines
across the mouths Of the rivers and take
the fish which are going up the stream
to spawn. There is law against this
sort Of thing, but it is not enforced.
Eventually, doubtless, the supply of this
valuable finny game viii run out and
artificial propagation will have to be re-
sorted Washington Star.

Whoever should write an analysis of
affairs IN New York today and should
leave out the strain Of social ambition
would miss the most serious thing III the
life Of the metropolis. We are apt to
think the hardest thing man can DO is
to come to New York, establish foot
hold and eventually make fortune, as
so many thousands of country boys have
done. But my observation is that if
you viii go TO those same men after they
have put the city under their feet, they
will tell you that what they have accom-
plished was nothing as compared with
what they have yet to do-and that is to
get into society | DO not mean Meal
listers Four Hundred when | say ''soci-
ety." | mean polite society of any sort.
mean the entree into any one Of hum
dred far more desirable circles than Nc
Allister's band Of self instituted aristo-
Gratis.
The day was when a man had the
entree Of any such circle if lie was a re-
spectacle man Of any profession or if he
was rich. That is the case III the smaller
cities today. Any doctor, lawyer, judge
or rich man, whose reputation is clean,
can instantly gain admission to the
incest circles in the small cities. But
he cannot do so in New York. The only
sure passport to such circles that know
of in New York today is to be born in
such circle. The next best thing is to
boast a commission in the army or navy.
The city is old and rich and suspicious
of all newcomers. That makes its So
ciety the most rigid and cruel in Amer

Insomn,a and Nervousness.

There can be no doubt that many per-
sons suffer from insomnia which had its
origin, or at least its principal strength.
in their own nervous apprehension that
they are or are about to be afflicted with
it. Any one Of a dozen causes may in
duce wakefHlness. and yet the person
lying in bed with the faculties alert at
the moment when they would naturally
be expected to be wrapped in slumber
has nine times out Of ten, on ninety-nine
times in hundred, nothing serious tt
apprehend Tire stomach may not be in
quite its normal condition--and there is
no more potent cause Of wakefulness.
Now an hour ten minutes even ~
seems long time in the middle Of the
night, when person wishes to be sleep
ing and cannot. If a sensation Of dread
of apprehension, is allowed to enter the
mind, such u period simply becomes in
terminablc. The nervous apprehension
increases the difficulty, and feeding
upon itself the arrangement may quite
possibly increase till it becomes dan
-arous malady. y.-Good Housekeeping.

would be wise enough to think so. Al

Mr.. Bryan accompanied him, having ac-
cepted the hearty invitation Of his new
friend to 'jest run out and take a look

Jennie had been apprised of Mr.. Bry-

in which she was to play her part. She
met him as if be were a stranger, while

to enlighten Jennie as to her duty to
