Tide OF Immigration.

The tide of immigration is at the
lowest point since the general govern.
ment assumed jurisdiction OF the sub
iect in 1882. The number of arrivals
from all countries, according to treas.
ury statistics, during the last fiscal
year was 230, 1922, a decrease as com.
pared with the previous year LIZ, 435.
The lightest immigration of any pre-
vious year was in 1895, when the mum.
Der from all countries was 279, 946.
During the entire period of federal
supervision 7,432, ,016 have entered the
United States. The arrivals Of Rus
sian Jews for the past year numbered
|22,7 $50 as againt 45,137 for the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1896. Italy fur
nished the greatest number OF immi-
grants, 81 431 decrease of s, ,629 from
last year. The cause of the heavy
Italian immigration of 1896 was as
signed to the war of Italy with Abys.
sinia, but the figures for the last year
are not abnormal, having been exceed
ed by several years Of the period.
Since 1882 there has been large
and steady decrease in German immi-
grafton; in 1882, $50, $50 entered from
that country, while in 1896 only &c..
533 arrived. 1t will be seen that the
number of German immigrants dur
ing the first year of government su'
pervision exceeded the immigration
from all countries during the last
year. immigration from Austria,
Hungary decreased from 55,103 in
1896 to 33, OBJ in 1892. The decrease
from the other countries is as follows:
England, 19,492 in 1896 to 1874 in
1897; Sweden, 81, ,137 to 13, IA; Nor

A Fienuish Crimo.

One of the most brutal crimes in the
annals of Charleston occurred there
Wednesday night at 10 o'clock. A
burly negro named Jim Nelson en-
ticed little 8 year old negro girl from
her home or the outskirts of the city
and committed a fendish assault upon
her. After accomplishing his purpose
he left the child, who was paralytic,
to her fate. The negro was later ar
rested and lodged at the station house.
The colored population are in the
highest state of excitement.

Mother and Daughter.

Mrs. Tolar and her 12.year old
daughter were run over and killed on
. trestle at Red Springs, n. c., by the
train from Fayetteville. The mother
was trying to rescue the girl, who got
her feet hung as she was about 10
jump off. The mother was on the
point of jumping, but stopped and re,
manned with the child. The train
knocked the mother off the trestle,
while the little girls body was cut up
into fragments, perhaps half the body
dropping through the crossties into
the stream below.

CLOSE OF THE STAR COURSE.
Prof. S. II. ClarIS's Headings ut the
Guardsy Hall Tonight.

Prof S. H. Clark will appear a second
time before a Savannah audience at the
Guards hall tonight under the auspices
of the Y. NJ. c. A. Star course. Those
who heard him year ago will hardly fail
to hear him again. The New York Tri-
bune last March, when Prof. Clark gave
a course of four dramatic readings before
the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sci
ences, said "a large, intelligent and
keenly appreciative audience listened to
the four readings given by S. Fl. Clarksot
the University of Chicago. With one ex-
ception this was MIR. Clark's first appear
ance before a Brooklyn audience. When
he walked upon the platform he was
warmly welcomed, as If by company
of friends His hearers saw a tall, hand
some man, model of physical develop
ment, in whose appearance there was a
suggestion of power which was not belied
by his performance. His voice is rich
and powerful and under perfect control.
His first selection, Matthew Arnold 5
"Sohrab and Rustum," was offered by him
in the same place a year ago, when it was
well received. Mr.. Clark prefaced it with
the remark that in every page it was a
rejection of Homer, being Greek in its
form, in its simplicity, in It's chastity and
purity, and added that it had been pro-
nounced by a British reviewer the great
est narrative poem in the English tongue.
The audience listened with closest inter-
est as the various phases of the desperate
fight between father and son were de-
scribed in Arnold's beautiful blank verse.
which gained much from the varied and
sympathetic tones of the reader. MIR.
Clark, uses gestures sparingly, and little
action accompanies his reading. The
impression which he seeks is created by
his voice. with it's well-modulated tones,
his rendering of the Homeric SMILES in
xvI,iob tho YOar1 is rich bpfOer nartiCHla rlV
effective. That he had won the favor of
his audience completely was shown by
the hearty applause given at the close of
the first mart of the BARGAINING"
