During the year 1894 the total num-

have been present during naturaliza-
tion court and studied the features of
the new citizens 1t may be a matter OF
surprise to know that OF this number
only three We're Hungarians and thirty
six natives of Poland. 1t has been the
general impression that large numbers
of Hungarians and Polanders were nat
uralized during the year, but the Off
cial figures ob.a!ned from the alien
dockets in the clerk of the courts and
prothonotary's offices would seem to
refute the popular impression.
During the last year the English born
residents of the county manifested a
greater fondness for swearing allegi-
ance to the Stars ana Stripes than any
other class of people. Up to a few
years ago many Englishmen refrained
from becoming naturali2ed and many
sarcastic comments werehurled against
them in consequence. This difidence
on tho part of the erstwhie subjects of

wheeling academies and the road TO visit the
swimming schools in this city.
II Is true that swimming is not the rage that
cycling is, but 1t has obtained steady growth
in recent years. and the instructors In such
schools as the Berkeley Lyceum Gymnasium
and Gebhard's Natatorium in East Forty fifth
street report great increase in their patronage
this season. Some days the tanks are crowded
with women and girls, and the spectator sees
some novel sights, such as schoolgirls making a
15-foot dive from the spectators gallery, women
walking or waltzing In tho water, while others
float about with tho grace of mermaids or floun-
der around after tho fashion of frogs fed on shot
The dimensions Of tho basins in well equipped
schools average about 81 feet In width by 81
fceet In length, while the water. which is fresh
and constantly changing, is usually to 8
feet in depth. Ropes at intervals OF one and .
half yards are attached to all four sides of the
tank. and beginners make good use OF them.
