Colonel Hale's Short Visit to Town,

Colonel Hale blew into a rapidly grow
ing western town recently and quickly
grasped the fact that there was no cable
road. With everything gone but a silk
hat and $125, he spent 500 for admission
in a swell local club and proceeded to
exist on the remaining $25. He gathered
about him the leading moneyed men and
laid bare the scheme of millions in a ca
BILE road. He agreed to obtain the fran
chise and put it through for $50, 900. part
Of which was to paid down as a guaran-
tee of good faith. The colonel busted up
his silk hat and attacked the aldermen
next. BY dint of promising and pompous
appearance of wealth he secured an or
dinance, was voted stock, drew what
was coming to him and blew ont again,
leaving every one to wonder.-St. Louis

Gibraltar and spain,

1t may be objected that. although Glib.
raltar might be useless to us as against
Spain. ii would still. in wartime. be use
full to us as against any other power. 1t
certainly might be useful to a very mod
itied extent. 1t is nevertheless a matter
OF notoriety that Spain ardently desires
to regain possession of the fortress, and
it is scarcely conceivable that. unless we
We're actually fighting for the protection
OF Spanish interests, Spain would remain
rigidly neutral while another power was
attempting to expel us from the rock.
In order to secure the more or less ac-
live cooperation of Spain the other pow
er would merely have to give some Sc
cret pledge that. having once gained
possession of Gibraltar. she would hand
it over without charge to its ancient
owners. France, there is no doubt,
would, with things standing as they do
at present, be very glad to see Spain
take our place there, and though Italy
might not like it she would not spend a
centesimo to prevent it.-Fort-

What You shoot In China

A naval officer once told the writer
that pheasant shooting in China was
very fair and would be really good if
there We're not SO many obstacles about
to enjoying it comfortably. He said that
the people were SO numerous that if YOU
let a gnn go off almost anywhere in C..i-
ma you were pretty sure to hit a China
man. They seemed easy, however. to
deal with, a small present as damages
sending them away in a contented state
OF mind, and indeed this naval authority
did say that they would sometimes try
to get IN the shooters way on purpose to
get these damages.-Macmillan's Maya

Few Reasons 10 Account fer the :'opu-

Why 10 persons Of notoriety admit

A curious mode Of catching turtles is
practiced in the West Indies. 1t consists
in attaching a ring and a line to the tail
OF a species Of sucker fish known as the
remora. The live fish is then thrown
overheard and Immediately makes for
the first turtle he can spy, to which he
attaches himself very firmly by means of
q sucking apparatus arranged at the top
OF his head. Once attached to the tur-
tie, so firm is his grip that the fisherman
on drawing the line brings home both
turtle and the sucker.-Exchange.

friendship Between "a Horse and a Dog.
A plumber at Narragansett had a horse
% years old, winch was used for carry
ing around his masters material when
that was necessary. but spent most of its
time in a small pasture. A fox terrier,
also belonging to the plumber, was an in
separable companion of the old horse.
When the cid horse was harnessed to the
cart the dog was on guard to see that
nothing was stolen from the cart. In
the pasture the dog was always shifting
around the horse ana was never so de-
lighted as when the horse would begin to
roll in the grass, which it often did, APP
parently to please the dog, which would
jump about III every direction and bark
for pure joy.
AT night when the horse was put in the
barn the dog always entered with its
friend and slept IN the animals body.
One. day the neis hbors heard the most
dismal howls coming from the pasture
and found that the old horse had died.
There was the t~errier on the dead body,
bowling out its sorrow and misery. The
dog remained With the body until it was
removed for burial. New York Tribune.

A Curious Naval Law.

A curious discovery was some years

naval laws Of that port as early as the

Metal Ties For ROsdbeds.

Numerous metal ties have been invent

but all have proved unsatisfactory. The
principal objections to them are based
on their cost and their nonelasticity. A

POOR CITIZENS.
Senate Committee on Immigra-
tion Begins Its Inquiry in
New York.
DR.. Senner Says Italians and
Polish Jews Are Undesirable
Immigrants.

NEW YORK, May TO- The senate
committee on immigration met at the
Hotel Normandie today. The senators
York; William E. Chandler. OF New
ton; Redtield Proctor, of Vermont:
Charles Faulkner, of West Vir-l
glnia, and f. l.. Dubois, of
Idaho. There were also present
DR.. Senner, commissioner immigration,
and Henry Stump. superintendent of
immigration. DR.. Senner, commissioner
ofimmigration of the port of Now York.
was examined. DR.. Senner gave a de-
tailed account Of his dolngs since his
arrival in this country in 1880. Speak
ing Of the Italian immigrants. the doc
tor said that % per cent of those immi-
grants came here with the intention of
returning in comparatively short time.
DR.. Senner said that immigration was
not as large now as it mad been in
former years, but that the standard of
the immigrants was improving. Italy
sent the most immigrants, he
said. In res ponse to question
the doctor said that his remarks regard
Ing the improvement in the class of
immigrants did not apply to the Ital-
ians. The Polish Jews were also de-
clared to be undesirable as immigrants.
Germany and Austria were said to fur
nish the best class of immigrants. DR..
heaviest in April. May and June. Civil
service reform was not applied to the
immigration department, he SAID, but
thought it should be, and knew of no
good reason why it was not applied.
The doctor said that this country had
need of the immigrants. The farmers
needed hands, and the demand for serv-
ant girls was very large, About 20
per cent of the immigrants remained in
New York city; most of the others
went West. The class that went West
was the best class. In answer to a
question by Senator Squire, DR.. Senner
said that the best class of immigrants
would be in favor of q graded head tax
on Immigrants. In regard to pauper
immigrants, the doctor said that man
with strong arms and good health. who
was willing to work, was no pauper.
There is no way, he said, of determin-
ing the question Of the admittance of
anarchists and socialists. The Italian
immigration question was question by
itself.
Senator Chandler then questioned the
WIIuGSS. LII. OEuiiCI SdIu ludb Lie I'LL
migrants were landed before the ques-
ton of their right 10 be set on these
shores was determined, although the
law provided that the examination could
be made on shlpboard. There was very
little to prevent an immigrant from
getting away without passing an exam
ination at Ellis island. The witness
said that the Polish Jews were driven
to immigration by persecution that de-
prived them of the right of following
their chosen occupations, etc. AS a
commissioner, he would look, he said,
on any person who came to this country
by means of the Hirsch fund as a
pauper.
Edmund Stephenson, commissioner of
immigration. who was next examined,
said that to counteract the evils of
pauper immigration he would recon-
mend that tax of S. head be imposed
and guarantee be given that all immi-
grants be self-supporters for FIVE years.
