Lille May Olaxton was horn in
Phillipsbufg, Kansas, in March, 1890,
and died in Goodland, Kansas, Nov.
10, 1894, aged years aud 8 months.
The remains were brought to Phil
hpsburg, to the house of Mr.. STRAIT
ton, where brief services were held by
Rev. A. N. See, after which she was
laid to rest beside her little sister in
the Phlllipsburg cemetery, to await
the trumpet that shall awake the
dead, The father with a few friends
came with the body, the mother being
compelled to remain at home with
two younger ones, who were danger
ously sick with catarrhal fever. The
mothers sister is also quite sick and
was recently bereaved by the death
Of a little child. Quite a number of
old friends were present at the funer-
al services, The parents have the
sympathy Of the whole community.
Willie Furnace was born July ID,
1894, and died Nov 20, 1894, The
funeral was held in the NJ, e. Church

May the parents and friends of
these children be sustained by the
Blessed Savior who has taken them
to dwell with Him. And may
the living be spared to comfort the
parents, and all be finally reunited
around the Throne of God.

see to what an extent Hungarians,
Poles and Russians are coming to this
country, and we know that the Hitter
ate among them are most undesirable

would admit only the intelligent
among these nationalities. Then, as
newspapers are published here In the
native languages of these immigrants,
they could read them and thus ac-

The members Of the executive COM
remarks Upon the subject of consular
certificates Mr.. Paine Is equally en-
phatic. Every immigrant. in his
opinion, should some time before en-

States consul for a certificate 20 be de-

zen, and the like, and Is TO be witnessed
and sworn to by persons known TO the
consul The league has gathered
evidence which Is now In its possession,
to show that il Is impossible TO enforce
our immigration law on this side of the
water. 1t has been proved over and
over again that the steera2e passen
gers of the Atlantic steamers are in
structed as to what to say to the i'm
migrant inspectors who question them

Is also true of the new law of March 3,
1923, except that now there must De

Mr.. Paine admitted that the consular
certificate plan would without doubt
increase the labors Of some OF our con-
suls enormously and the work would
no doubt very soon be perfunctorily
done: but this country can very well
afford the extra expense entailed by
additional clerical labor, and certainly

the question 81 insanity, with the re-
suit Of establishing that the foreign
born element of the country contributes
more than one-third of that unhappy
class, although the foreign-born popu-
lation is but 14.77 per cent Of the total
population
The remedies proposed by the new
organization are very simple. Mr..
Paine, referring to this part of the
work, said that under our present laws
We can only keep out a very few Of the
thousands Of undesirable persons who
must be coming to US. Even with the
addition Of the new law Of 1898 it will
not be possible to keep out nearly ell
those persons who are debarred by law,
for no such cursory examination as is
given by the steamship people in Eu-
rope or by the inspectors here can de-
termine in every case whether or not a
man is criminal or polygamist or
an assisted emigrant. But there are
three plans which the league will
strive to have adopted.
The first" said Mr.. Paine, sis. that
every immigrant shall be obliged TO
pay certain sum of money on landing:
the second that we shall require an ed
ucational test; the third that every i'm
migrant shall procure consular GER
tihcate at his port of embarkation-
These are commonly known as the
head tax, the educational qualification
and the consular certificate plan. Un-
der the present law every immigrant is
supposed to pay . tax of fifty cents,
but this is paid by the steamship COM
panies and is, of course, no check to
immigration. The suggestion that we
shall levy substantial tax of twenty
five or fifty dollars a head on every
immigrant has much to commend it.
In the first place, il would make the
expense of coming to this country from
Europe as great or greater than that
which would De incurred in going from
Europe 10 South America, Australia or
Africa. At present, with the low rates
OF Storage passage to the United
States, this country Is the cheapest
place for the emigrant from Europe to
get TO-"
But this tax Is not the only plan Of
the league?"
NO; the second is the educational
test. 1t has been suggested that we
should require of every immigrant a
knowledge Of the English language.
But this is too evidently unjust. By
this plan many thousands of honest
and industrious persons would be kept
ont who might have had no chance to
learn English and yet who would after
, few years make good American
citizens The other suggestion under
this plan is to have the immigrant
tested as to its ability to read and
write his own language. We already

THE USE OF CORK.
How 1t First Came to BE Used for Bottle
Shoppers.

shoppers.
The application of cork as bottle
stopper for liquid vessels is said to be
of great antiquity. The earliest rec
ord extant of its use in Europe is that
mentioned by Horace. who asserts that
the Romans had cork as stopper. for
their wine amphore. Certain of the
uses of cork were known to the an
Gent Greeks and Egyptians, but
whether they used cork for stopping
the mouths OF their liquid vessels his
tory does not say. II was not, how
ever, until the year 1860 that the Span
iards first commenced to work their
cork woods with some degree of regu-
larity for the making of ''corks.'
Although, perhaps. corks were more
or less in use from the time glass bot
ties were first invented, which Beck
mann asserts to have been in the fif-
teenth century. yet it was not until
two and a-half centuries later that the
Spaniards began to prepare cork for
bottle shoppers, which they did in a
forest situated at the northeast of the
TigueraS. on the Muge.
The cork industry has since gradual
ly risen to be one of the first magni.
tude. its chief center in Spain being in
Catalonia, where at the present pop
ulation of eight thousand two hundred
and twenty-eight persons is employed,
who in the course OF each year turn
out about one hundred and eighty
eight thousand hundredweight of cork
grown in the province, one hundred
and forty-four thousand hundred
weight of cork grown in other prov
lnces. besides forty-seven thousand
hundredweight of cork exported from
81 yeria. The revenue from the cork
industry of Spain amounts to over five
sli lion dollars per annum.-N. Y.

70 our shores with the riffraff The
south, which particularly needs de-
sirable immigrants. is one of the chief
sufferers from the present state of
things.
The league will appoint a committee
to draft bill for introduction into the
next congress, and through the senti-
ment it expects to arouse, there will
be little difficulty in securing its pas
sage. 1t will be along the lines pro-
posed already. Republicans as well as
democrats indorse the measure, as is
evidenced by the expressed opinions OF
Senators Hale and Hoar, Cameron and
Villas, Valthall and Vest. besides such
well-known members Of the house a
Holman, Catchings and many others.
The general sentiment appears to be
that we Americans are not giving the
desirable immigrants q chance.

.etails set forth below:

The sudden decrease In the past two
years is stated by the league to be due,
for 1893, to the cholera, and for 1894 to
the panic. 1t will be further pointed
out that in 1869 the immigrants from
Austria Hungary, Italy, Russia and Po-
land were about one one-hundredth Of
the number from the United Kingdom,
France, Germany and Scandinavia; in
1850 about one-tenth; il 1894 nearly
equal to it In lSs9-93 the former class
amounted 70 934, 1916 or $40 per cent of
the total immigra ton. Even the fig
ures for 1894 give an average arrival Of
$50 immigrants into this country every
day, in spite of the great decrease due
to temporary causes. There are now,
according to the leagues tables, about
100000 persons of foreign birth in
the United States to-day. But the per-
sons of foreign birth or foreign parent
age together reach the enormous total
of over 81 200, 600.
But these facts, at present totally
unknown TO the country, outside Of
special students of the subject, are but
q small portion of the information
which the league is at present indus
triously gathering and preparing TO
disseminate. 1t will be pointed out
that although it is frequently declared
that there IS plenty of room IN this
country in the west on farms and
ranches TO receive a unlimited number
Of immigrants, Of whatever character
they may be, yet forty-four per cent
Of our total foreign born population
are found settled in the cities. OF per-
sons, for example, born in Norway,
twenty per cent live IN cities; Eng
land, forty per cent; Germany, forty
seven per cent, Ireland, ftty-fve per
