signed, was chairman of the house COM
mittee on immigration in the last con-
gress and is the author of the bill he is to
administer. He lives at Bel Air, Nd,
and was born in 1887 on Darlington
farm, the ancestral estate on Chesapeake
bay. He was admitted to the bar in
1856, has been president of the state
senate and represented the Second Mary
land district in the Fifty-frst and Fifty
second congresses.
DR.. Joseph H. Senner, appointed COM
missioner Of immigration at New York
in place of John R. Weber, resigned, was
born in Moravia, Austria in 1916, was
graduated from the University Of Wen
ma as LII. B., practiced law in Aus
tria seven years, came to the United
States in 1880 and has attained high
standing as a German editor, orator and
lawyer. When appointed, he was on the
editorial force of the New York Staats-
Zeitung and was recommended for his
present place by Oswald Ottendorfer.
The immigrants landing at New Y ork
average about 1000 aday for the year,
though much the greater numbers come
in summer and autumn. In 1879, as
aforesaid, there was a sudden and tre-
mendous increase. The number coming
in through registry ports was $50, ,431 in
1881 and 788, ,992 in 1892-the maximum
For the rest of that decade it only twice
fell below 100000, SO the total registered
for the decade exceeded 5,000,0O0. How
many came in from Canada is not def
nitely known, but there are now very near
ly l 200, 900 native Canadians in this coun-
try, and the French from the province OF
Quebec are pouring into New England

appalling" When the English acquired
Canada, they estimated the French there
at less than 65,OO0 There and in the
United States they now number about
2,400,O00. No other race in modern
times has been so prolific.
It is not, however, the increase but the
character of the immigration which has
excited the labor leaders and alarmed
the health authorities. England, Ireland
and Germany seemed for time to have
gotten rid Of their surplus population
and ceased to send us any, and just at
this time Italy, Hungary and Russia be-
gan to pour forth their swarms. In 1870
there were in this country but 4, ,644 per-
sons of Russian birth; in 1890 there were
1921 ,644. In the same time Hungarians
increased from 3,737 to 62, ,455, Poles from
14,436 to 147, ,440, Italians from 1857 to
182, $50 and Canadians (chiefy French)
from 493, ,464 to 990,93S. On the other
hand, the Irish scarcely increased at all,
and the Welsh and English increased
comparatively little. From 1870 to 1880
there was an actual decrease of Irish,
and from 1880 to 1890 their increase was
but 16, 938, or less than per cent. In
fact, the vastly improved conditions of
life in Ireland have reduced emigration
to minimum.
Of all the recent immigrants the Poles
seem the least amenable to sanitary dis
cipline or indeed to regulations of any
kind. Reared under a despotism, the
Polish laborer habitually looks upon gov
ernment as the natural enemy of the
poor man, and his whole life has been
long schooling in evasion and various
artifces to beat the officials, Even the
census enumerators had to have police
protection in some quarters of New York
city, for when one entered and began to
ask for names, ETC., the Pole, sometimes
the man of other race, at once concluded
it was for draft or a tax. From a san
itary standpoint the greatest improve
ment has been among the Irish. Forty
years ago, it is said, every third Irish
man landing at New York was pock-
marked. Now pitted face is rare
among them. Sullivan, in his "New Ire
land" says that, of the great emigration
of 1849-50, Is per cent died on the ocean
or soon after landing. The cholera Of
1882 was brought to Quebec by Irish i'm
migrants, that of 1849 to New Orleans
by Germans and that Of 1866 to New
York by Frenchmen.
It may surprise some readers to learn
that despite the immense immigration
the original Americans (meaning those
whose ancestors on both sides were here
July 4, 1776) are still in a large majorioy.
For this we are much indebted to the
south, in which over 80 per cent Of the
people are original Americans.

A NEGLECTED TOMB.
9t4E LINCOLN MONUMENTAL SPRING.
r." FIELD FALLING INTO DECAY.

1t Was Badly Built and Is Becoming Pic
+ turesque Ruin-The Prevailing Discon-
tent May Induce the State to Take Charge
of the NIonament.
To say that the great state of Illinois
has made a 'cheap J ohm" show Of Abra-
ham Lincoln's tomb, and a rather poor
show at that, and that the management
is discouraging, would be perhaps an ex-
aggeration. It is certain, however-for
many witnesses declare it, and the nli-
nois legislature recently admitted it
that the monument is in wretched con-
dition and that high board fence has
been put around it to hide it from view,
while visitors are compelled to pay rs
cents each for a view and @ lecture by
the custodian. .4..
The trustees say it is absolutely neces-
sary to charge an admission fee, as it
costs at least $1,000 per year to keep the
grounds in order and afford bare living
for the aget. John Carroll Power, the
custodian. Recent examination has
shown that the east side of the monu-
ment has no foundation to speak of, and
the west side barely enough to hold it in
place for the present. While the monu-
ment when finished seemed to be of
granite, it is really nothing but a brick

Be Patient While We May.


The hands are such dear hands:
They are full; they turn at our demands
So often; they reach out
With trifles scarcely thought about
So many times; they do
So many th .lys Tor me, for you
1t their fond wills mistake,
We may we'll bend, not break,
They such fond, frail lips
That speak to us. Pray, II love strips
Them of discretion many times,
Orif they speak too slow or quick, such crimes
We may pass by; for we may see
Days not far off when those small words
may be
Held not as slow or quick or out of place, but
dear,
Because the lips are no more here.
They are such dear, familiar feet that go
Along the path with ours-feet fast or slow,
And trying TO keep pace-if they mistake
Or tread upon some flower that we would take
Upon our breast, OR bruise some reed,
Or crush poor Hope until it bleed,
We may be mute,
Not turning quickly to impute
Grave fault, for they and we
Have such little way to go-can be
Together such a little while along the way
We will be patient while we may.
So many little faults we find.
We see them, for not blind
Is love. We see them, but if you and
Perhaps remember them some by and by
They will not be
Faults then-grave faults-to you and me,
But just odd ways-mistakes, or even less
Remembral. to bless.
Days change so many things-yes, hours
We see so differently in suns and showers.
Mistaken words tonight
May be SO cherished by tomorrow's light.
We may be patient, for we know
There's such little way to go.

Ihe History or y lm Jones.
Jim Jones, he was an editor-that is, he tried
to be.
He bought himself !. hand press, an he started
in to see
Jes' what there was in edith, but when he'd
canvassed round
Some fifteen hundred editors in that same town
he found
They all knew more about it than Jones could
hope to know.
They told him: You must run her, Jones, jes
SO an an so!
Be sure an boom the Bnptists-they bound to
help you out
An give the good old Methodists big salvation
shoutl
"Give every man a notice. Be sure an put il
down %
Whenever Major links is seen perambulatin
town.
Putin few free locals for all the stores, an give
Each man u free subscription-if you want
your sheet to live!"
Well, Jones he done jes' as they said, for fear
they'd make a row;
But the more he tried to please 'em all, the more
they told him how,
Until at last he took his book an laid it on the
shelf,
Then run the paper in the ground an follered
it himself!

The Maidcn's Choice.

Two youths once lived in a country town,
And one was a giant fair,
With a Saxon vikings golden crown
And s. blacksmith's muscles smooth and brown
When he made his right ar1n bare.
The other youth was Of dapper size.
So slender and short was be
That he found small favor in maidens' eyes,
And the giant boosted in merry wise,
II could lay him across my knee"
These twain both courted the village belle,
But short was the race they run;
At the giants feet the maiden fell,
And the little man, though he pleaded well,
Naught more than her pity won.
They marched away to the wars one day,
In haste for the battles van,
And the people cheered when the giant gay
Strobe stoutly past for the distant fray,
And they smiled at the little man.
But the earliest ball by q foeman sped
One drop from the war black skies
Passed safely over the pyg1nys head,
And the giant, who stood behind, fell dead,
With Il bullet between his eyes.
Then the little mnn swore, though his sight was
dim,
And he bounded ahead of them all,
And the whole great army followed him
Till he leapt like devil, little and slim,
First man DER the battery wall.
And he planted the flag Of his country there
While the routed army ran,
And the legions roared as it floated fair
On the dusky waves of sulphurous air,
Three cheers for the little mani
Oh, l don't know, and cannot say
What the giant might have done,
But I'm sure the maiden will weep alway
For her lover shot in the first Of the fray
And dead ere his fame won.
For war is d field Of chance, you know.
Let him dodge the bullets who can.
But love is garden where fancies blow,
And the form of giant makes larger show
Than the soul of d little mani

structure veneered with granite blocks
$25G,000.
The result is that all the east side is
out of line. The granite blocks have so
far separated that the brick interior can
be seen to be cracked and split. The
pointing between the granite blocks on
that side has come out, and water, filter
ing in and freezing in winter, is helping
on the destruction. Experts declare
that the monument will not fall down,
but that the granite will come off here
and there anu leave the structure pic

pieces, and the stone steps are separated
by an inch i'll places. And to see this
fastening ruin the patriotic pilgrim pays
Is cents.

ever, is going quite too far, and their

tom of the prevalent discomfort. Some

Several bills have been brought into
the legislature recently. and the general
proposition OF the discontented is that
the state shall expend 900 in repair
ing the monument and $4,000 year to
have it cared for; that the fence be re-
moved, and that the monument be like
that of Washington and other heroes,
free to all pilgrims. There are experts,
however, who declare that the whole
monument will have to be taken down
and reconstructed on better plan and
with a proper foundation. It never has
been what its projectors intended or
hoped for, and strictly speaking it is not
yet completed.
Several pieces of statuary are yet to go

has assisted her father in that capacity
ever since the beginning Of the last ses~
sion of congress. Previous to that she
was a stenographer and boolkkeeper in
the business Office of the Kansas Farmer,
with which paper her father has been
connected for many years.
Miss Peffer is extremely businesslilze
in her treatment Of her fathers CORE

letters and making brief notes of their
contents on the outer fold, with the
writer's name and address and the date.
Her briefing is said to be so well and adj
curately done that the senator never has
to read any of his letters except from
choice. In addition to taking care of
her fathers correspondence with his con-
stituents and others she writes from die
tation letters to the heads Of departments
and bureaus Of the government, looks
after requests for seeds, directs and
franks public documents and keeps a
record of books sent and classifes and

Through a Pipe to Europe.

General T. NJ Clarke Of Fort Worth,
Tex, thinks he can shoot people across
to Europe through a pneumatic tube
under the ocean at the rate of 900 miles
an hour. He says he has discovered that
rubber can be made so as to retain it's
elasticity in the air and become harder
when immersed in sea water. He pro-
poses to sink tubes of this rubber and
when they get good and hard to use
them for all sorts Of transportation. He
has the usual hazy notions about the pos
sibility and prevention of accident.
