laborious attempts of the uniformed

Fortunately the official speaks an
almost infinite variety of languages or
the task he has in hand would be q
well nigh hopeless one. As it is, ow-
ing to the nervous condition of the
immigrant, it usually takes an almost
interminably long time to drag out
an answer to the simplest question.
Everything has to be repeated several
times and explained in the minutest
detail and then occasionally the ques-
tioner has to give it up and turn the
obtuse foreigner over to an assistant.

probably take prominent place in
the fashions for winter, either as a
cape with long scarf ends, widening
the shoulders considerably or fitting
close to the same, so that the puff of
the sleeve is slipped nearer to the ell
bow in the Marie Antoinette style.
A new style of bodice has appeared
for the evening. This is slashed

are trimmed round the slashings with

glimpse and are sent back to the will

One Of the queerest personages on
the island is the barber. 1t is hardly
correct to call his place shop, for IL
is merely corner of the big room
where the barber has placed a chair
and hung up a mirror and towel or
two. Judging from the condition OF
the majority of tine immigrants, the
barber is an institution sadly needed
at Ellis Island, but few seem to utilize
his services, advertised at the prices
of twenty cents for hair cut and ten
cents for shave.
The crematory at Ellis Island is an-
other very necessary accessory. II is
not intended for the cremation of hu-
man bodies, but merely to give the
clothing of suspicious arrivals q thor
ough chance to shake off any Disagree
able associations with infectious dis
case or obnoxious insects.
Fairly good arrangements appear to
have been made for the housing OF
immigrants who are compelled to stay
on the island over night, the old pow
der magazines having been converted
into comfortable sleeping rooms.
One Of the worst sources Of annoy
ance to the officials are the crowd OF
relations that flock to Ellis Island to
meet incoming passengers. They are
always in the most intense state of ex-
citement and it is all that the gate
keepers can do to prevent them break
ing down the barriers in the mad rush
to get inside of the enclosure.
There being no police on the island
it is necessary for the officials to take
the law into their own hands and
maintain order by force. It would
be decided improvement IL some of
the strongest and most reliable men
on the island were sworn in to act as
special policemen.
An old landmark of the island is
gradually yielding to the infrmitses
of age. This is the historical tree on
which the pirates, Hicks, Wormsley
and Gibbs, were hanged when the
place was known as Ellis Island. The
tree was damaged during the storms
of last winter, and has recently been
broken off short by the wind. All that
is left of the tree now is about seven

tempt to challenge the accuracy of
tho amount given him, upon which an
attache of the money changers Office
will take the coins from the immi-
grants hand and explain the value OF
each as he drops it back again. 1t is
wasted time, however, as the owner Of
the money is left in as bad condition
of dense ignorance as ever.
Money will buy things on Ellis
Island and the proprietors of the
lunch counters, where bologna and
bread appear to be the staple articles
of food, are at liberty now to charge
on the mob made hungry by the long
wait in the lines. The scouts for
these lunch counters are indefatiga-
BILE workers and certainly earn their
money. The wonder is, from the way
in which the immigrants are almost
dragged to the bologna counters, that
some one does not get hurt in the
scrimmage. If the greenhorn gets
through the experience all right and
survives the bologna, lot him brace up
to resist the onslaught OF the railroad
agents, who will bear him of bodily il
he does not keep sharp look out.
