his way back from Europe with his wife,
with whom he eloped not long ago from San

The water power at Niagara Falls was
utilized first by the construction OF a

a pleasure trip, conceived the idea of
building n tail race or tunnel for the
radiance of the water after 1t had done
its work of wheel turning. This tunnel
could be built at a low level, n In that
way the full benefit of the great height
of the falls could be occurred. Overshed

THE IMMIGRATION BILL.

The Stone immigration bill just
passed by the House looks to the in
spection of immigrants by our consuls
at foreign ports. At the foreign port
it will be possible, it is urged, to verify
the statements of the person intending
to come to the United States and to
ascertain whether he or she is likely to
be desirable addition to our $780,
900 of population. Under the present
system the veracity of the immigrant
has to be relied upon for his anteced-
ents, and with the class of immigrants
we wish most to exclude veracity is
not frequent virtue.
The intent of The bill is to exclude
Objectionable characters, but, like any
measure of probable efficiency for this
purpose, it will tend to lessen the
influx of immigrants of all kinds.
Whether this is desirable or not is a
question about which people differ.
When immigrants come in at rate
of over 100000 year it is possible
that we may be unable to assimilate
them all as fast as we ought. So many
of our native Americans are un-
acquainted with our fundamental in
situations that it is a pity to add
yearly to their number hundreds OF
thousands who may be Indifferent OF
averse to our ideals Of government.
We undoubtedly do get yearly too
many anarchists, criminals, paupers
and other shady elements Of European
life, and there is in recent years an
excessive proportion OF immigrants Of
classes and races that do not harmonic
with our native population. While we
receive willingly persons who under
stand and respect our institutions,
there is general conviction that it is
time to draw the line somewhere.

The Prevailing Styles for Ladies
Tailor Gowns.

The tailor costume is exceedingly popu-
lar this season. These gowns are worn
everywhere in town, in the country and
even at the seashore and in the noun
tains. They are made in every kind OF
material: light woolens, serge, duck,
ginghams, and foulards. This prevail
ing fashion calls for a great variety OF
models and every style of French and
English coats are brought into re9uisi-
ton. As for the skirts. although their
simplicity is always adhered to, in ac-
cordance with the severe tailor system of
dressing, they, nevertheless, exhibit a
diversity OF styles. This fact is well
exemplifed III the latest McDoueu Fashion
Magazines which contain, beside several
pretty and very practical models. the
patterns Of which can be secured by
means OF coupons at exceedingly moder-
ate prices. These coupons form an at
tractive monthly feature in the Mcdowell

rect fashions. La Mode de Paris and Paris
