IN GAYEST MANHATTAN.
A glance at the cast of characters in
"Gayest Manhattan" shows that while
the shadows that fit, were heightened
and deepened as the light and shade IN
the masterpiece of an artist, the substance
OF the piece was equally attended to. Ap-
pearlng in the list of principals, upon
whom the IN ain action depends, are such
well-known comedians and condolences
as Richard German, Gertie Reynolds,
Gus Pixley, Jennie Lewis, Grace Sher-
wood, James A. Herman, Matt Alexan-
der, Thomas Herman and Jean NC
Ilmoyle. Each of the above is a concert
hall performer, and they each Introduce
their specialties during the performa nee.
For instance, one of these features, the
Whistling Tramp of Gus Pixley, may
be mentioned as an exquisite creation.
Among the lyric gems of the piece are;
MA Little One," "The Good Old Palmy
Days" Deferred Ambitions" The
Modern School, Hearts That Are
True, " 1.-THE Rulers of Central Park, !"
etc. "Gayest Manhattan" will be seen at
Portland theatre at the matinee and
evening performance today.
MR.. BEANIE FROM BOSTON.
The Germans were for years known as
among the cleverest of the many clever
MINISTRIES before the public, but, in min
strelsy, they lacked that wide scope for
the exercise of their talents which farce
comedy affords, and it is pleasant to not
that in Mr.. Beane from Boston," the
broad field afforded is amply utilized.
greatly to the qualification of theatre
goers and their many friends in particu-
lar. A most capable company has been
secured, the costuming is up-todate and
the piece has enough incident to keep
spectators on the watch, while the several
ridiculous situations keep them more or
less in perpetual roar of laughter. Mr..
Beane will be seen Friday, Saturday and
Saturday matinee at Portland theatre.
THE GAIETY.
The burlesque and vaudeville features

musical numbers which will be followed
by the sparring match and a tip-top
musical act in which the most unoanny
instruments will be called into play.
Sketch and. travesty artists win figure in
the show and large. crowds will doubtless
be in attendance at today's matinee and
evening performances.

BROKEN BY A WILD DUCK.

Last Monday night during the heavy
storm a wild duck flew against the glass
in the lighthouse on Half Way Rock. The
glass is three eighths Of an inch thick,
but the duck went clean through 1T and
struck against the glass reflectors of the
big light, knocking dozen or more of
them out of place. The keeper had hard
work to keep the light going with the
glass broken but succeeded in doing so.
The duck was somewhat shaken up, when
he was occurred by the light house keeper,
but ~ not badly hurt.

Alderman Rounds, who Is understood
to be the hacker of the Gaiety theatre,
said that tho brothers and sisters of the

they did not.

a large per centage of our criminals
come from this same source, making a
strict guard on our Mexican border an
important regulation.
But as a political factor the matter
presents the most serious aspecr. All
the last congressional election pens
were made on this side the river. in
border towns, to corral the Mexicans
contracted for to vote ut the last elec.
ton.
Is Greater New York threatened with
any such an invasion from European
immigration?
In rendering his decision in the test
case of Rorriguez, Judge MaXey tum-
bled our naturalization laws, and the
decisions of all former courts into
the waste basket, and held that no mat
ter how illiterate or ignorant a Next
can might be, he should be admitted 10
citizenship; but the important point in
this case was the question of race.
Judge MaXey decided that the Mexican
Indian is a white person.
The claw Notes." a leading law
journal, comments with surprise upon
this decision and quotes the leading
cases touching citizenship of persons
other than white persons" 1t says:
"We believe that the Rodrigues case is
the first adjudication which has eX-
tended the term white persons" as
used in these statutes to any of the ma
tive races of America or TO foreigners
who are not within the popular idea
of the term white persons"
The immigration law, now pending
before Congress will go far to keep
the Mexican at home. But the ques-
ton of the naturalization of the thou
sands who are now within our borders
cannot be allowed to remain unsettled.
Judge MaXey's decision cannot stand
and will be overturned when brought
TO the attention of Congress, as it may
be in some shape or other,
This is a question entirely free from
partizanship-it affects the interests of
every good citizen.

Chief Collins and Mr.. Micklejohn At
ter the Plumbers.
1t will be remembered that while
the fire department was answering an
alarm, calling them out to a fire in
Schultze Bros. planning mill last
Thursday night the chemical en-
gine ran into sewer ditch in front Of
the Praeger property.
AS the place was insufficiently light
ed Street Commissioner MicklejOhn
and Fire Chief Collins swore out affida-
Wits against Messrs. A. III. Shafer and
Ed. Braden, the contractors for the
work. and Ed. Dillon, foreman, and all
appeared before Recorder Lewis this
morning to answer to the charge.
After hearing considerable testimony
the recorder fined Dillon, who acknowl-
edged the responsibility, $50 and dis
missed the other two cases. Dillon
gave notice of appeal.
The testimony was to the effect that
the street, which is eighty feet wide,
had been opened ON the south side to
the street car track and beyond the
track on the north side about fifteen
feet, thus only leaving small portion
of the street on the extreme north open
to traffic with the exception of the
street car track in the centre. Along
this ditch only two lanterns were
placed, one for the 20 feet on the south
side and that near the sidewalk, and
one on the north side. The recorder
was of the opinion that this was not
carefully guarding the place, as the
ordinance demands.

SHORT STOPS.
What the People Are Saying.


Congress assembled today; the SEES
sion, it is thought, will be a short one,
that is, not lasting beyond June next.
There is one measure, ready for pass
age that deeply concerns Western Tex
as-the immigration bill.
AZ
The whole country has been Impress
ed with the importance OF throwing
additional safeguards about American
citizenship, and restricting the infusion
of the ignorant and 4lliterate elements
from foreign countries.
The attention of our legislators has
been mostly directed to European
sources-our Mexican border has been
overlooked; even the statutes now in
force, applicable to labor contracts
never seems to have called for enforce
ment.
The illiterate European artisan or
labOrer must cross the ocean to reach
our shores, he has to run the gauntlet
of the custom houses and the immigra-
ton inspectors; the Mexican peone on
ly has to throw his blanket over his
shoulder. cross bridge or wade the
Rio Grande, TO reach United States
soil.
Mexico has population variOusly
estimated at from nine millions to
twelve millions of people, of which on
ly about half a million constitute the
..I.s 81. Il
ance are homeless and landless.
The class of MeXicans who cross our
borders and seek shelter and liyeli-
hood in the United States, or rather in
Texas, are of the native Indian pOpu-
lation, are illiterate, ignorant of every
thing pertaining to our government and
institutions, unused to the exercises of
any of the privileges of citizen as
understood in this country-in fact,
they are aliens in race, and have never
proved themselves capable of becoming
American citizens, except in one par
ticular, they become voters under the
loose Interpretation of our state con-
stitution, without becoming citizens.
No correct estimate of the number OF
these aliens who have crossed our bOr-
der and become q wandering popula-
ton in our state has been made. Ger
tainly over 10000 have been used to
polute our ballot boxes mad influence
the decision of our congressional cleo
tons. So fragrant has this evil become
that all good citizens have felt alarm
over the prospect of evils bound TO
arise in the future.
The government of Mexico is in no
wise responsible for the exodus of its |
paupers and criminals. The Mexican
government invites immigration and
welcomes the immigrant from abroad
under proper restrictions.
Mexico would prefer to keep her Ia
borers at home, but she cares nothing
for her vagabonds who escape over our
border.
As source for the supply of cheap
labor Mexico furnishes a plentiful
But this same labor dis
places our own labor and retards the
growth of our state.
Our criminal records also show that
