but not nearly so marked as to the men
as the women. the males numbering
l,99S aud the females 100. or more
than half the grand total
The transition stage through which
italian immigration is now passing is
exactly similar 10 the changes that have
taken place in Irish and German immi-
grafton. At the beginning with both
these nationalities the great majority of
the immigrants were men who came in
advance of their families TO spy out the
land. After time, as the newcomers
succeeded in establishing themselves,
there were more women. and now il is
the regular thing for whole families 20
rome together, while for years Irish and
German heads of families have been
sending money home to the remaining
members, so that they, too, should re-
move TO the new world. Professor
Odrini considers the larger proportion
Of women now arriving from Italy an
excellent indication.
Perhaps the most important service
performed by the professor has been in
making the nature of the United States
restrictive laws clear to the authorities
on the other side In a general way it
may be explained that no fugitive from
justice, no person likely TO become a
public charge inside of year and no
person under contract rs to employment
in the United States is allowed to re-
main, and any ono found ON investiga-
ton to come under any of the prohibit
tive clauses must be taken back to the
port Of sailing at the expense of the
steamship company bringing him here.
Some faint glimmering of the facts
seems to exist in Italy, but whatever
knowledge there is over there is of the
yaguest sort, and generally wrong, for
many immigrants. from other countries
us well as Italy, upon being questioned
by the inspectors at Ellis island, declare
themselves 10 be without money and
without relatives in America and entire

and where they shall go. Italian immi-

grants have been known to make affida-
Wits of this sort, when at the very mo-
ment of declaration relatives were stand
ing near by, waiting to greet their new
ly landed friends, and this was known
to the inspectors.
A very large proportion of the work
ing people who come to America do so
on the recommendation of agents for the
steamship companies. These agents, who
receive commissions on the sale of tick
cts, act only from selfish motives, as a
matter of course, and therefore their
statements are often at wide variance
with the truth. They exaggerate the
amount of wages to be received here,
they minimize the cost of living, and
they often enter into agreements, gen
orally verbal, that employment shall be
provided upon arrival in America. 1t is
not at all unusual for these agents to
persuade q victim to turn every avail
able possession into cash and then to col
lect the last cent realized in payment for
steamship passage, so that when the poor
fellow gets to Ellis island he finds him
self utterly pennilcss, and perhaps liable
to be sent back, if not because of vio-
lating of the contract labor law, then ON
account of physical inability or extreme
poverty. 1t is this class of immigrants
which is hardest to deal with. They
have been told in general way that if
the facts are known they will surely be
returned, and they bend their entire en-
ergies to the concoction of plausible
falsehoods, often when the truth would
be much more satisfactory and advan-
tageous to themselves.
Owing to the efforts of Professor
Odrini, however, the number of those
coming to America under this sort of
misapprehension is constantly diminish
ing, and, also owing largely to his eff
forts, steps have. been taken by the Ital-
ian government to prevent the future
humbugging Of innocent parties by
swindling agents as much as possible.
To this end regulation has lately been
adopted that whenever a person not
found acceptable ON arrival here is in
duced by the persuasions of an agent TO
take passage for America, on proof of
the facts, the agent and not the steam
ship company shall be held liable to the
swindled person for money SO expended
This is because it would be manifestly
impossible for the company or its officers
to have personal knowledge Of the finan-
cial ability or physical condition of ev-
cry person taking passage, whereas each
subagent can and in the nature of
things must be infinitely informed as
to the affairs of each person he books
for passage.
1t is Professor Odrini's duty also to
extend helping hand in the way Of
giving directions and making 'cxpl@na-
tions to any Italian immigrant who may
ask for them He must also examine
The passport Of each ore and gisc him
practical instructions as to how to reach
his destination. Professor OdTsni is en-
thusiastic and thoroughly efficient in
the discharge of all these duties.

Seated in the corner of Broadway
car was frail. little crippled boy, evil
IDENTIFY an intense sufferer from a spinal
disease. His head and the upper part Of
his body were inclosed in network OF
steel and leather, and an iron brace was
tightly strapped to the side of one of his
legs. Poverty, too, seemed to be his mis-
fortune. His clothing was Of cheap ma
terial and bore the stamp of homemade.
and in every finger of the black cotton
gloves worn by his l5-year-old sister,
who accompanied him, there was hole.
Her dress was patched in several places,
and her hat was a thin straw affair,
trimmed with band Of faded red rib
bon, but withal she was wondrous neat
and clean.
At Thirty third street q handsomely
dressed young woman boarded the car
and dropped into scat directly opposite
the pair. Tucked in the folds of her coat
was big bunch Of fresh, double violets,
tied with long purple ribbon, and their
fragrant odor at once pervaded the car.
The little boy caught the scent, and at
once his great brown eyes were throu N
upon the flowers. Then he whispered
something to his sister, who blushed and
told him to wait awhile. Turning his
attention again to the violets, the lad
gazed upon them until his eyes grew
bright and ro,nd, and every few mo-
ments be would draw an extra long
breath, as if TO take in all of the sweet
perfume he could. Soon every one in
the forward part Of the car was watch-
ing him From the look OF admiration
there grew in those brown eyes an ex-
preston of longing SO earnest and deep
that it made the heart thrill with sym
patty
The young woman, with changing
emotions, glanced uneasily at the boy at
intervals, and soon the power Of those
eyes and tho soul they revealed over
came her. With quick tug she drew
the violets from her coat, and with a
tear springing to her eye handed them
to the boy, purple ribbon and all Be-
fore the child recovered from his great
joy she sought the platform and was
gone
Nearly all the men sitting near by
suddenly resumed interest in their news
papers, and some of them coughed. The
women looked straight ahead through
the glass, beyond the sidewalk and
much farther than the obstructing show
windows and doorways. 1t was not an
earthly view that pictured itself to
them; their vision was turned toward
their hearts, into the tiny corner where
fondest of all hopes and sweetest of sad
memories were treasured.
The boy? Well, do need to tell you
of his happiness? And sister? Poor sis
ter. She felt so ashamed. But what
could she do?-New York Herald
