How Foreigners Becomo Citizens of the

How Foreigners Bccomo Citizens of the
United States.
Youths Companion.
'Sixty new citizens made in 40 min
utes. " That was headline in a city
paper recently.
To be citizen of the United States
is not small privilege. The natural
lied alien becomes the equal of the ma
tive born citizen before the law. He
votes on the same terms, has the same
share in determining the policy of the
government, and with two exceptions
there is no office to which he may not
aspire. All the powers of the govern
ment must be put forth in his behalf
il he is wronged in any part of the
globe.
Yet United States judge gives only
three quarters Of IL minute to consider
ing the application of an alien for this
high privilege.
The fault is not in the laws They
require the applicant 10 satisfy the
court that he has resided continuously
in the United States five years, and
one year in the State or territory where
his application is made Also he must
show that he "has behaved as a man
of good moral character, attached to
the principles of the Constitution of
the United States, and well disposed
TO the good order and happiness of the
same"
Can these things he established in
hreo-quarters of a minute? If not, in
stead of treating tho naturalization
mill' as something for reporters to Jest
about, should not the moral sense and
patriotism Of the community hold to
a strict accountability judges who make
naturalization proceedings farce?

So NANNY Concluded That Ho Was

In the old time immense Importance
was given to the etiquette of the table,
made more necessary then than now
because the service la Russo was not
in fashion, and any moment any man
might be called upon to carve roast
or joint. Then, too, the evening meal
was perilous affair. to be safely con-
summated only by the expert. The
young man of revolutionary days was a
martyr to the "handed' tea; for tea
cups, buttered mullins, slices of Sally
Lunn and chipped beef or shaved ham
these all, and more, had to be taken
care Of upon his trembling knee. Now
and then plate would crash upon the
polished floor and fill the blnshing
swain with confusion. Once when a
stranger had won the heart OF the
tiniest little maiden of family, and
when her spirit bad been sorely tried at
hearing her sable nurse express doubt
as TO whether he was gentleman,
leaning upon her fther's knee and look
ing earnestly into his face she asked /:
Papa, is Mr.. Dawson gentlemanY"
''Wait, Blossom, until see him follow
The hounds, = replied the squire. But
Nanny Grace says she'll know as soon
MS he eats an egg" said tine fairy.
Sure enough, he broke a section from
the shell at breakfast next morning,
and ate the contents with spoon from
the shell itself. That settled it. He
WAS gentleman.

The Blooner Restaurant Described In
Glowing oolors in England.

Glowing Colors in England.
The latest innovation across the
water is the bloomer cafe, where the
waiter girls are garbed as the new
woman. The innovation is a taking
one. II you have any doubt as to
whether the attraction is boomers or
the bill of fare, Just watch the look OF
expectancy on the face Of the visitor.
The smile is all ready as he enters, and
broadens as the bifurcated maiden
modestly approaches TO take his order.
He is all attention to the beautiful ap-
partition, and if he is a susceptible
young man, he is apt TO forget that
he has come there TO eat until he is
prompted by the young woman. As a
rule the bloomered waiter girls are we'll
worth any mans observation The
girls long ago lost the last vestige of
stage fright attendant on their debut
in this @w role, and now regard their
bloomers and leggings solely from the
business standpoint.

WIND AND RAIN.
GREAT DAMAGE DONE BY THEM AT
SIT. LOUIS.
Two Men Killed and Many Others
Have Narrow Escapes from Death
-One of the Worst Storms in the
City's History.

ST. LOUIS, May 13.-One of the most
terrific wind and rain storms that ever
struck this city prevailed this evening
between $50 and o'clock.
Trees, signs, chimneys, smokestacks
house roofs, telegraph and telephone
poles, with their burdens of wires, were
Frustrated in various sections of the
city.
The continuous and heavy streams of
water which fell formed connection
between the trolley wires and the
ground, causing the escape of the
fluid, which resulted in a stoppage of
cars all over the city during the storm.
Two unknown men in a skiff near the
Illinois side of the river were drowned
by the capsizing of their boat, and
two more were thrown out of a yacht
by the violence of the wind, and had a
narrow escape from death.
At Fifteenth and Washington streets
the large wooden spire of the Luth-
eran church was twisted so badly that
it fell. The 250-foot smokestack at the
Anthony & Kuhn brewery was blown
down. In falling it struck the corner
of the brew house, cutting it off clean
to the ground Several people therein
had narrow escape from death. The
same storm prevailed throughout Mis-
souri, Kansas, Nebraska, Arkansas and
lower and central Mississippi valleys.

IS NOW SERIOUS.
TROUBLE BETWEEN ARMOUR AND
HIS EMPLOYEES.
Seven Hundred Men are Now Out,
Reducing the Working Force of
the Plant Fully One-haIf.

KANSAS CITY, May 13.-The trou-
bic between the Armour Packing com
pany and its employees in Kansas
City has assumed serious aspect.
Seven hundred men are now out, re-
ducing the working force of the plant
fully one-half The strike of forty
four firemen to enforce an eight-hour
day at 81 per day has finally involved
nearly all the departments in the big
plant. Yesterday afternoon the COM
pany discharged 100 men. Today fifty
girls in the tagging and trimming de-
partment walked out, and this even
ing the company discharged a large
percentage of its employees, number
ing fully 500, and coming from every
department of the works. Officials of
the company insist that the men are
being discharged simply to reduce the
working force that is altogether too
large considering the light business of
the season.
Strikers and the men discharged,
however, maintain that only men who
sympathise with the striking firemen
are being sent home.
Notwithstanding Fthe injunction is
sued out of the federal court restrain
ing the labor organizations from de-
claring a boycott against Armour s
products, all of the labor unions in
volved held meetings tonight and
elected delegates to a mass meeting to
be held in Kansas City, Kan, tomor-
row morning, when an executive COM
mfttee will be appointed TO conduct the
fight against the Armours on the lines
previously mapped out.

AnERlCANS' CLAIMS.
Senator Lodge Thinks Some of Them
Should be Adjusted.


Should be Adjusted.
WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator
Lodge, from the committee on foreign
relations, today submitted resolution
requesting the president to continue
investigation in the matter OF claims CT
IL. h. Henry and other American citl-
zens against the government of Great
Britain in regard to lands claimed by
them in the Fiji islands looking to such
an adjustment of them as the facts
may warrant. The resolution is based
upon a message to the senate by the
president on Feb. l last Mr.. Lodge
presented a report with the resolution
reviewing the facts in regard to the
claims made by Henry and associates
from which it appears they were based
on lands ceded to the claimants by
the native authorities before the is
lands came into possession of Great
Britain. The treaty of annexation pro-
vides that grants previously made
should be respected by Great Britain
but this provision appears to have been
disregarded by the British authorities
and the hands seized. 1t is shown that
in similar cases where the interests of
German citizens were affected the ac-
ton of the British authorities was re-
viewed by joint commission resulting
either in the restoration of the land or
the payment of the money value. The
land involved is reported as of great
value.

this morning Detective Fender and

walls is hidden quart bottle Of the
purest apple-jack. The bottle has rested
there for thirty-nine years, and has,

a man who had the house built. The
bottle is not to be taken from its dark

WEST VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS.

HARRISBURG, w. Va, May 1S-The
Republican state convention will meet
here tomorrow to elect delegates at-large
to the st. Louis convention. The First
district convention which met here to-
day, having set the pace by instructing
its delegates for Mckinley, there is little
doubt but that the state convention will
instruct for Mckinley. There are Nc
Kinley leaders who have advised against
this as it will violate the policy of the
Republicans of West Virginia Eereto-
fore pursued and because they deem it
unnecessary to instruct, but Mckinley
enthusiasm is so strong it would sweep
the convention, and these gentlemen will
be forced to acquiesce.
The platform will declare for McKin-
ley, protection, reciprocity and sound
money.
