TAB ON HEBREW IMMIGRANTS.
Revelations Resulting from New Sys-
fem of CInasifYing.

Revelations Resulting from a New Sys-
tenn OF Classifying.
Some surprising discoveries In the
haracter of the immigration to the
~nited States have been made since
Tho adoption of the new system Of
Classifying new arrivals. to this coun-
y. Commissioner General Powderly
as just completed the reports for the
st three months of 1898, which form
&c last quarter for which returns
ave been compiled under the new
ACthod. BY the new system immi-
ANTS were classified according to the
,;untry from which they sailed, with
ut regard to their nationality. Per-
nns leaving Paris GDr the United
tates were put down in the column
.rdcr France, whether they were Eng
-Sh. Scotch or French. The tables thus
made up were perfectly useless, so far
as giving accurate idea of what kind Of
people formed the bulk of immigration.
in July last Commissioner Powderly
altered this system by directing that all
superintendents Of immigration obtain
srOm newly arrived aliens their ma
tiOnGlity instead Of the name of the
country from which they sailed. The
immigrants are now classed acc 1rding
10 their nationality, and the first set of
figures compiled under this system af-
fOrds some interesting studies. One of
the surprising developments is the
great many Hebrews who come here
each year. Formerly there was no way
of ascertaining what part of the immi-
grafton was made up of Hebrews, for
they were included with the people
who sailed from Russia France and
other European countries. During the
last three months of 1898 no less than
1900 Hebrews arrived at the ports Of
the United States, being more than
One-tenth Of the total immigration
Members of this race come from nearly
all the countries of Europe, but study
of the reports OF former years led to
the belief that the bulk of them are
from Russia. The figures for the last
quarter of 1897 show that $500 Rus
slams have arrived. 1t is matter Of
POwderly's Office that practically no
genuine Russians come here as imi-
grants, and the reports under the new
system bear out this belief During the
last quarter of 1898 less than $50
actual Russians arrived. as compared
with reported immigration of $500
during the same quarter of the preced-
ing year The remainder were, in all
probability, Hebrews In the same way.

Reward Refused.

gentleman had his watch, a valuable
gold one. and a sum Of money stolen
from him while in that city. He Of

the property. The watch did not an
pear, and on returning TO America he
left his name and address and the
number OF his watch, together with
the amount Of the reward, with the
police. A short time ago the gentle
man received his watch, together with
the reward intact, and a polite note
from the director saying that it was
against the rules for policemen to re-
Ceive money rewards; of course. il a
civilian had recovered the watch the
reward would have been paid. The
only charge was fifty cents, the ex-
pense of transporting the watch from
New York TO Boston. The thief had
been arrested in Vienna, the watch had
been found upon him and forwarded by
the city government of Vienna free of
charge TO New York. There is a de-

A STRANG" FAMILY.
Father But Little Taller Than Ills
Young Ch.id.

a German family at present engaged
in ventures Thespian, are attracting
considerable attention in the Western
towns. One of them is a child, evil
IDENTIFY about 3 years OF age; another
is small man, not a great deal taller
than the child, and the third is a wom-
an Of more than ordinary size. Those
who encounter this trio on the street
invariably turn to look az them after
they have passed, and they make all
manner of COnjecture5 as to who and
what they are. 1t is evident that the
handsome woman, whose smiling face
still shows the freshness CT youth, is
not the mother of the little man, but
not one person in q hundred would be
likely to guess the exact relationship
which exists between the three peo-
pie. They are father, mother and son.
Diederich Ulpts will be 50 years old on
July next. He is three feet six
inches in height, about one inch for
each year he has lived. Mrs. Diederich
Ulpts. to all appearances, has not yet
reached so years of age, but she is de-
Cidedly more than so inches tall. She
stands, in fact, about five feet nine
inches, with a figure proportioned to
her height. ReinhOld Ulpts. the son
of this pair, is within a month of 3
years OF age, and his height is two and
half feet. BY the time Reinhold
reaches the mature age of he will
probably be as tall as his father.
Taken in all, it is quite a remarkable
family, but one of the happiest that
could be encountered. There is still
another member Of the family in the
person of baby now months old,
but as Mr.. and Mrs. Ulpts do not con-
slider travelling GCod for very small ba-
bies, the youngest of the Ulpts was left
in Vienna when the father and mother
came to America a few months ago.

WELL LIGHTED
by an American Electric Plant Is the
CITY of Manila.

St. Louis Globe Democrat: One Of
the first things noticed by American
az oil officers in the city of ianiIa was
the excellence of the street lighting
which is fully up to the standard OF
American cities. 1t seems that in 1895
an American firm made a twenty
years contract with the municipal
council for lighting of the city. 1t
was to supply l40 2,OOO-candle power
arc lamps and 1000 twenty candle
power incandescent lamps for S60.250
(Mexican) per annum. The contract
provided that the lamps should burn
every night and all night q. e., from 20
minutes after sunset to 20 minutes af:
er sunrise). The city lighting covers
all streets on both sides of the Pasig
river. except a few in several native
quarters of the town. AS might be eX-
pected, the private lighting service has
grown largely. and includes, besides
many arcs, about 5000 inCandcscents.
Some Of the city residences have as
many as 200 lights each. Since the
Americans took possession of the city
the electric light company has been
busy day and night The barracks Sc
lected for the troops had to be Lighted,
and the churches, cock pits and go
downs" or warehouses, appropriated
as quarters for the soldiers, had 70 be
wired and connected with the lighting
system. The Chinese merchants were
quick to see the advantages OF having
flood of electric light in thci. stores
and in one of the business quarters
there are over 1000 incandCsceEts in a
space Of about four blocks. The agent
OF the electric company happened to
be in Yokohama when the news came
that Dewey's fleet had sailed from
Hongkong for Manila. He was at once
applied to for electric fans for the
ships of the feet. and managed to Sc
cure about twenty. subsequently he
bought back at handsome premium
fifty more that he had Just delivered
to a customer. and the whole consign-
ment was shipped Immediately to Ma
Mia, where they were godsend 20 the
officers aboard ship who had already
begun to experience the intense dis
comfort which is inseparable from lH-
ing in cramped quarters in a tropical
climate.

Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1899-02-02
Found Dead.

The friends of Mrs Ann McQualg
were greatly shocked Wednesday
morning to learn that that lady had
been found on the morning mentioned,
in an outhouse, with life extinct.
1t IS supposed that her death was
due to an appoplectic stroke. About
two years ago she had suffered a
stroke of paralysis, which would make
it appear reasonable that paralysis or
appoplexy was the cause of death.
Mrs. McQuaig was born of Scotch
parents, and spent a large portion OF
her life in Barlow township. Her hus-
band died some years ago, since which
time Mrs. McQuaig spent her time in
Marietta, having taken care of the
late Daphne Squires during the days
of her decline, and having succeeded
to her proL erty.
The deceased leaves a grandson, Ar.
thur Agln, and granddaughter. The
former made his home with his grand
mother but was out of town at th'
time of her death.
The remains will be kept at the hom,
today, where friends may see them
On rrrday morning they Will be takel
to Barlow township for burial, TIL
Rev. Mr.. Roe will conduct the funeral

For Contempt of Court.

Mr.. Y. r. Darrow, who has had all
the, trouble of the Fifth Sewer District
work the last fall, was called before
Squire Hart Tuesday for contempt of
court in not paying the jury in the re-
cent case of Mrs. Margaret Trautman
vs. Chas. and q. T. Darrow as he was
ordered to do by the court. The case
was set for hearing Wednesday morn
ing when Mr.. Darrow appeared and
the case was continued to Saturday
morning. 1t is now understood that
arrangements have been made to pay
the jury fees and costs of the case,but
that does not prevent Mr.. Darrow hav-
ing to answer to the Squire Saturday,
when it is hoped everything will be
satisfactorily settled.
