NEW FELLOW CITIZENS
The Work of Naturalization Is
Still Going On.
AND SUCH GOOD MEN, TOO
Their Backers Invariably Testify to Their
Superior Moral Character and Their
Ability to Make the Very Finest
Kind of Americans.

Judge Lindsay yesterday examined
another lot of applicants for admission
to citizenship and a few failed to pas
because they could not furnish satisfac.
tory proof that they had resided in th'
United States the required length o.
time. Some got through by a scratch
Tim d.. Harrington's proof showed thai
he landed in this country just n day
before he was Is years OF age and was
therefore not required to take out his
first papers.
How old are you?" asked the judge
of another applicant.
"Twenty-three." was the answer.
when were you born?'
"Twenty-three years ago"
The examinations have, shown the ex-
istence of a very gratifying state of
morality among the foreign-born resi-
dents of Butte. Among the hundreds
who have been admitted to citizenship
during the last two weeks there was
not n that did not bear a model
character, according to the testimony
offered by themselves and witnesses.
The usual questions and answers on
that point are about as follows:
IN gpu IdNt hilpNH HI dpDll-
cant, how has he conducted himself?'
Very good, indeed"
Have you ever known him to be i'm
any kind of trouble?"
"Oh, no; never"

principles and constitutions of the
United States?'

rs he well disposed Il the good order
and happiness of this country"

One man approached the Judge and
asked if he could be naturalized. The
judge referred him to the clerk as the
person with whom to leave his name.
But / have already been natural
said the fellow.
That | have no authority to natural
ize you again" replied the judge.
The man said he had taken out his
pdpeES III the East Some years ago. out
had lost them, and he thought he could
ave time and money by being natural
lied again. He earned that it would
cost him about 81 to send East for a
copy of his papers, whereas he ould
naturalized in Butte and ii would
cost him a cent. The judge told
him that could not be done, but the
fellow was persistent and wanted to
where he would get the money
to send for the copy of his papers. and
he was probably disappointed that the
Judge did not give him the necessary 81.
