Some railroad companies have re-
fused to allow Coins Financial
School to be sold on the cars. Mr.
Depew, the railroad magnet. has
made such unwise discrimination.
Mr.. Depew may be a great railTOader
but he will eventually find that he
cannot successfully railroad such a
scheme over the common people.
He may own a railroad but he does
not own the people at large and he
will learn that such an attempt at
suppression will sharpen the public
appetite and the demand for that
m%eritorious educator, Coins FInan-
clal School, will be greater than eyer.
1t is evident that Mr. Depew is not

Why France is Sound.

A great many people wonder why
France is financially so prosperous.
One of the reasons is that she is patri-
otic-and stands up for France.
In a late case before a French court
a creditor had sued on a note payable
in gold, and the court held the proviso
void, On the ground that n sort of
money issued by France was as good as
another and to discriminate in favor Of
either n was a conspiracy to iDjure
the government and its credit, and that
the debtor has the right to pay in any
thing issued by law as money.
That doctrine-a sound and patriotic
one-if %enforcedin this country, would
bring Secretary Carlisle up with a round
turn. There are no "afty-cent" depre-
ciators allowed in France-a FIVE franc
piece being as much money as a ma
poleon. France makes her own money
and makes an attempt TO discredit it
even in contracts a conspiracy at law.
No wonder France is prosperous, as
her lawmakers and her courts are as
patriotic as her people. No high Off
GERS of state are there engaged in de-
preciating the money issued for the
use of her people. 1t Is morally a
crime in the United States and ought
to be held as an offense at law by our
own courts-possibly will be some day
day-Kansas City Journal.

PROFESSIONAL ,MouRNERs.

Curious Calabrian Custom Which May Now
and Again Be Observed in New York.
In the Italian quarter found myself
the other day in home which had
been darkened by double misfortune.
A little Italian boy had fallen from a
fire escape to the street and been in
stantly killed. His widowed mother,
when she came upon the body of her
son, went mad with grief and at
tempted to take her own life. She was
taken to the hospital.
The boys body lay upon table and
blazing candelabrum stood at its
head At the side the boys foster
father and his wife knelt in prayer.
Seated about the room was group OF
women chanting an Italian death
wall. One of the women raised her
face and her quavering voice filed the
room:
Happiness has departed from US for
everr'
And the theirs droned the refrain:
"Forever!"
HE will never be absent from our
thoughts!''
"Never from our thoughtsr'
And so on, strophe and antistrophe,
the chief waller leading and the chorus
echoing the dismal refrain. 1t was a
sight and a sound to move even the
tardy sensibilities of a reporter.
Such scenes are not uncommon in the
Italian quarter, though they seldom
come under the eye of visitors. The
professional mourner is an institution
in some of the provinces of southern
Italy. She-the Office belongs entirely
to the softer sex-is analogous to the
Irish ''keener," but with the difference
that her wall is more musical than
weird, whereas the ''keener" is weird,
piercing almost nything but musical.
The Italian wailers-they are called
''prefiche'' in their own tongue-are
dou btless descendants of the profession
al mourners of ancient Rome. They
are most common and their Office is
most clearly defined in the provinces
of Abruzzi and Calabria, and in Sicily.
There they are regularly retained and
rewarded with fee. In other pro-
vinces relative of the afflicted family
may assume the Office and lead the
chorus, or the function may be of a
wholly miscellaneous character, all
the mourners joining in song of woe.

DECREASE IN IMMIGRATION.

The Strict Inspection Now Carried ON Re-
suits In Excluding Many Objectionable
Glasses.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.-From the an
nual report of the commissioner of inn
migration for year ended June 80 last,
it appears that the number of aliens
brought to this country, exclusive of
tourists, during that year was 25s, $50,
of whom 2,419 were debarred from
landing under the immigration laws,
and returned to their European homes.
Of those thus debarred, 1,725 were
excluded upon the ground that they
were liable to become a public
charge and 694 on the ground that
they had come here under con-
tracts to perform labor, made prior
to their leaving home. 1t is singular
that the immigration bureau has not
undertaken to prosecute any of the
parties in this country with whom
these alleged contracts with 694 aliens
were made. While the law prescribed
that aliens coming under contract
shall be returned at the expense of the
steamship company which brings
them, it also provides that parties in
this country who enter into contracts
with aliens shall, upon conviction, be
punished by fine.
The large decrease in immigrant ton
during the past four years is due to
business dizziness, but it may be as
sumed that a large part of the de-
crease is due to the enforcement of the
immigration laws. In 1882 the alien
immigrants numbered SCI, 1927. The
immigration law was enacted March 3,
| 1891, but it's enforcement was not so
strict and thorough as now. In 1898
the alien immigrants numbered 44O, 7S3.
In 1894 there were but 28S, O2O, and for
the year ended last June 258, $50. 1t is
generally admitted that the strict in
spection now carried on by agents of
steamship companies in foreign coun-
tries and by officers of the immigra-
ton bureau has resulted in excluding
many of the Objectionable classes for
merly admitted in large mum bers, and
to that extent the quality of the immi-
grafton has been vastly improved.

STRICKEN WITH TERROR.
Armenians in Fear of the Vengeance of the
Turkish Soldiers.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Aug. 2S.-Advices
received here from birmingham say that
great terror prevails among the Arme-
mans there owing to the attitude of
the Turkish authorities. The latter,
in consequence of an attack which
was recently made by brigands upon
Turkish colonel, during which
member of his escort was killed, are
believed to be taking steps which will
have most serious consequences. The
Armenians are accused of being the
authors of the attack on the colonels
and it is alleged that large force of
Turkish troops has been retaliating by
attacking the villages and monasteries
of the vicinity, and engaging in other
acts of violence.
