MEN SAW THE DOLLS.
Laughed Over Queer Creations and
Took Chances in the
Drawing.

As a rule men cease to become interested
in dolls after they have discarded kits and
arisen to the dignity of trousers, but there
are few of them who do not possess a
sneaking fondness for the artificial babies
SO dear to childhood. This fact was dem
onstrated last night at the International
exhibition of dolls given at the residence
of Mrs. P. D. Ridenour, 1416 East Eighth
street.
Staid old gentlemen, who would be sup
posed to be ignorant of what really con-
stituted a doll, fingered fondly over the
childish playthings SO dear to the infantile
heart. They laughed over the queer Gre
atoms from Chilli and Japan. China and
the Azores ard grew enthusiastic over the
fair creature with long hair actually dres-
sed and donated by the late queen of the
mannikins from the reservations In Da-
kota and the Indian Territory were in
spected with manifest interest, and ancient
dolls, the owners of which had been dead
respect and even awe. When they tired
looking at the wonders of the doll world,
they were taken in hand by the fair
women in charge and asked to take
chances on tie drawing of some wonder
fall to the lot of the fortunate possessor
of the right ticket. Just what they will
do with the dolls If they win they refuse
to state. but some lucky little girls in
Kansas City will undoubtedly get beauti-
The exhibition is the most Interesting
of its kind ever seen In the West and has
delighted everyone who has seen it. To-
day is the last day and children will be
of age. The proceeds of the exhibition are
for the benefit of the Children's home.

1t also recommended that the act which
prohibits the expenditure of a greater sum
for immigration purposes at any port than
shall have been collected at that port be
repealed.
Mr.. Powderly states that the naturaliZa-
ton laws of the United States have been
repeatedly violated and. in his opinion, each
arriving immigrant. when admitted to the
United States. should be provided with a
landing certificate setting forth the name.

stated in the said circular as to each

year by the bureau of immigration. An

the work of the courts and go far toward
preventing the issuance of fraudulent nat
uraliZation papers.
The commissioner general expresses the
belief that the figures given of the arrival
OF immigrants through Canada represent
only n part of the actual immigration
through that country, and suggests as a
remedy the enactment of a law authOriz-
ing the secretary of the treasury to desig-
nate certain points along the border sepa-
rating the United States from the Dominion
TO be the sole ports of entry to this coun-
try of transatlantic and t~rans-Pacific i'm
migrants, and of all Canadians who shall
not have resided in Canada for at least
five years prior to the emigration TO this
country. 1t would be possible under such
a provision, he says. TO abolish the pres
ent official stations on Canadian soil and
transfer the officials now SO placed to this
side of the boundary. locating them at
such points as the secretary shall designate,
where buildings could be erected for the
accommodation of immigrants pending ex-
animation, as at the seaports of the United
States

BRUTUS ATTACKS B0STWICK.
Desperate Struggle With the
Monarch of h Show,

For chastising Spitfire. a 1ioness who was
nt "up in her part" Manager Frank Bost-
WIKI, of Hagenbeck's Zoo. was yesterday
hetely attacked by Brutus. the largest
lior and the monarch of the show. and re-
ceiWd injuries which may confine him to
his bonn for several weeks.
Tht he was not torn to pieces is due
10 tn presence of mind and bravery of
Madate Pianka, the lion tanner. who dur
ing tn struggle for life fired a pistol re-
peatedr and finally grasped Brutus around
the neg. and by main strength pulled him
away INN the PROSTATE and bleeding man.
ager- tr. Bostwick's injuries consist of
several icerations on his body and thighs,
but they re not serious.
The Manager was resting easy last even
ing. and soke of the incident phiIosophi-
cally. He Omitted that he was to blame
for enterinlthe cage, and in the presence
OF Brutus ctstising his mate, and declared
that hereaitr. no matter what the provo
cation mightoe. he would respect the feel
ings of the klg. The greater part of the
evening was pent in debating letters to
his wife, who g. as capable an amanuensis
as she evidentr is a nurse.

age. 1,4l6 could not write, B.057 could
neither read nor write, 27,60S over 20 years
of age had $50 or over. and 1920 had less
than $50.
The total amount of money shown by
Immigrants during the year was 3,S72,077,
but the actual amount brought oter was
probably greatly in excess of this mount.
OF the whole number of arrivals, SIS. G13
came from Italy. 27,221 from Russia prop

many. 1863 from Hungary. u, i20 from
Galicia ard Burkowina in Austria-Hun-
gary. 1888 from Sweden and 1881 fsom

Of the total number of steerage passen-
gers arrived during the year, 81 were at

bankers, S36 cooks. 16,2i3 farmers, 1,3Ss
grocers, So. 531 laborers, 4,i29 merchants and
1856 servants. These figures, however.
=, the report states, are not to be relied upon
as indicating the pursuit they will follow
in this country, for it is reasonably Ger.
tain that many of the new arrivals did
not engage in farming, and 1t is equally
certain that more than 1,6H miners found
their way TO the coal regions.
The total arrivals of male immigrants
during the present fiscal year are slightly
in excess of those for the year next before
il, and, Ii is fair TO assume, the report
states, represent a more desirable class
since those from European countries show
an increase of 2.79o, while those from
other sources. principally Asiatic, exhibit
a decrease of 2,062.
1t appears again that, although there ha!
been n diminution in the total mmigra

present year are more desirable, for the,
