According to statistics just furnished
grafton at the port of New York, there
has been an increase OF immigrants ar
rivin5 the last SIX months, counting
only aliens, of 39,SS2. The total for the
Six months estimating IA part of Decem-
Der, is ll4,66O, against 1855 for the
same in 1894. The total number Of
Immigrants arriving at the port during
the yea ls 23O,elO, against 167 ,663 in
1894, and 352, 944 in 1893. DIR. Senner re-
CARDS the showi0g as favorable from IA
business standpoint, rs he interprets the
arrivals rs marking a material recovery
from the general depression that ex.
listed In this country and in Europe. A
point OF interest mentioned by the com.
missioner is the fact that immigrants ar
irving are OF Il very much better class
than formerly, and all are provided with
money. Daring the last fiscal year tn 9
moun Of money brought into the
country by immigrants, accoring to the
record made, was 81, III, 1913, but this is
believed to be very much less than the
actual total; the law requires that an
Immigrant shall have thirty dollars, and
1T is not supposed that all the immi-
grants made full returns Of moneys in
their possession. Many OF tEess immi
grants are going to undeveloped por-
tlons of the country, and the com
missioner predicts tina IN "a few years
they Will rave become valuable citizens.
1t Is predicted that the last half OF the
fiscal year TO come will SHOW "a heavy III.
crease IN Immigration.

Opening An Umbrella With One Hand.

"Not infrequently," said a stroller,
"you see people with their arms full Of
bundles making hard work of opening
an umbrella. There is a very simple
and easy way of opening an umbrella
with n hand, known to many, but
perhaps not to all. You grasp the little
cylinder around the handle, to which
the lower ends Of the ribs are attached,
plant the point Of the umbrella against
a lamppost, and push until the little
cylinder catches on the upper catch. and
there you are, without the least trouble
in the world. New York Sun.

RIG THEATRE HATS AGAIN..
RAY OF HOPE FOR THE sUFFERERs-GooD
NEWS FROM OHIO.

Another blow has been struck for liberty. 1t is the
Legislature of tho State Ohio this time that has de-
cjded that the hitherto helpless theaUe-soer e"d''
suffer wrong no more. And this time the legislature
has taken action in good cause II Is the o'u "u'
undyins cause Of opposition 10 the big hat In their
care OF the theatres, and In some other thihss 'he
Legislatures OF various States would AFFORD insruc-
tive examples to John Setson's orchestra Ine story
is too old TO repeat in detail OF MI 9telsohs ; op-
lection to the trombone players resting ior -FOUR
measures when the music wac so marKeu' on 'nc
ground that he paved him TO play and not TO reet.
Bun the Lawmakers OF this honest land seem thor
ouehly imbued with the consciousness that they are
paid 10 make laws and not 10 rest
In the present case they have done wisely and
we'll and the theatre business In Cincinnati ought
TO prosper in consequence. The best OF IL Is that
they seem to be enforcing the new law and posi-
tiyely not permitting women in theatres to wear
hats that obstruct the view OF the stage. 1t * a
sad state OF things when a gentle act OF courtesy
has to be enforced by Legislature and police. but
II Is better that should be brought about so than
not al all.
The news from Ohio brought CLEAN OF hope to
many weary New-York hearts yesterday. II seemed
as II the chances were not dead for reform here
at home There was a bill in the New-iork Leg
islature something year ago for the abolition
OF big hats In theatres but II had some absurd
features and these curously enough. prevented us
passage. 1t has often been said OF late that there
might be room for few more, If the law
makers of the State would but assert their just
authority and guarantee that he who goes 10 the
theatre shall the play.
1t is another sad fact that the managers nave
grown callous on this point. They are weary win
the much bother that they have had. and they long
only for rest. Some of them yesterday seemed
scarcely TO know that anything had happened in
Ohio and others seemed TO think that II did not
interest them. I'VE have done all We could TO ove'-
come big-hat nuisance" said few and II has
done good If there Is anything 10 be done some
body besides the managers must 90 H. VI,
1t may readily be supposed that. az long as the
complacent American public does not rise up and
destroy the theatre the manager does not care much
about hats one way or the other Now and then
some in agony comes out to the box Office and
complains that he cannot the play that he has
paid TO see Then 1t is common for usher to go
down the aisle and ask the woman to take off her
hat Now and then she does II, but usually she does
not. Then the manager gives the man another seat.
II he has one TO give. and II he has there il
nothing TO be done except 10 return the price Of the
seat. There Is nothing TO make the manager DO
that except his good nature. and there not
many managers who are so good -natured that.
Really, Ohio is great State. and from which
even greater States may learn something.
