and Germans represented the majority, and nationalities are now so amalgamated with the American people that they can hardly be considered aliens, and their friends and relatives are almost as numerous in this country as in their own. Moreover, the Irish or German girl who now comes over has a mind above service; local influence or native ability quickly puts her into a shop or a factory, and if she should go into service it is but as a means to an end. Italian girls never go into service, and few of them come to this country unless to join male relatives. Even that is compara- lively infrequent, for it is rule that the Italian workman expects to return and marry in his own land, and to buy a little farm with the earnings he has saved here. IL is his plan to invest them in the coun- try where money is reckoned by centimes rather than by dollars and where there are blue skies and no hurry-forever and ever.

The woman who acts as matron at the barge office has to bring many resources to bear on her intercourse with the woman immigrant. She is mother, sister, friend, judge, accuser and protector. When wo man is landed she passes a physical eXam- nation and is sent to the physician with report, perhaps a suspicion, which he in- vestigates or confirms. Usually, almost ln- variably, the immigrant woman is ignor- ant or helpless and the puzzle of where she is going has to be solved for her. If her passage has been prepaid, the steam ship agency has the name of her friend or relatives and she is easily disposed of. While the women are detaned their lot IS made as comfortable as possible and they are kept from the quarters where the men are herded If they grow agitated and dis tresscd because no one meets them, they are consoled and promised, and no efforts are spared to find their friends.

COUNT VON ZEPPELIN AND HIS
 REMARKABLE FLYING MACHINE
Wonderful Ship That Has Mastered the Problem of Aerial Navigation Recent Experiments Have
 Proved 1t a Success

New York, Nov. 10.--The great thrObbing ocean that beats against the barge office down at the wall of the Battery is offering to our unwilling shores that waif of mis- fortune the woman immigrant. Every ship that lands passengers at this port brings hundreds of the 1otsam and jetsam of wo- mankind from other lands. And, as in ths days when she first came over, the sturdy Puritan maiden to mother new race, or the deported grisette to find compromise husband, the woman immigrant of to-day has listened, on that other shore of pover- ty, oppression or disgrace te the siren voice of the great dividing waters ana put herself and her hopes on their promising breast to waken to a new life on their furthermost reach Sometimes she comes to join her husband, who has preceded her, or a sweetheart, who has earned a home in which to receive her. Or, perhaps, sne comes to an enterprising young brother, who built air castles in that other land and then came over the seas to make them come true, to find habitation for her, the old father and still younger brother who, in time, will help the pioneer adventurer to send for the old mother waiting in the old place for the price of a ticket to follow her dear ones.
 The story of such a woman immigrant came to light at the barge office the other day. A young girl had come over from the south of Italy with her father and little brother to join her established brother. She was named Marietta--Marietta Longo- and she looked like her name. When she entered the room of Special Inquiry, be- tween her father and little brother, the eyes of every one present were bent upon her, for she was the only pearl that the ocean had cast up at the Barge Office that day.
 AN AIR CASTLE COME TRUE
 She and the boy sat down a bench while the father was undergoing his exam ination but everything about Marietta was meanwhile telling interesting tale to every one in the place. Marietta was 15, she said she looked like a woman of 20 but with the eyes and grace of child. In some strange way, with the instinct of pretty womanhood the world over, she had dressed herself with taste, almost with style. Her hair massed itself n natural

she had high-heeled shoes that had way of peeping out from under her skirts to let you see how small they were. Everything about Marietta had way of expressing itself, somehow. all the time she sat in un- affected and unconscious thought Yet she looked sad-like a hurt and lovely and wonderful child-it was all so uncertain. for they were expecting some one to meet them and he was not there. The old man said that most of his money had been taken from him in Naples, and he did not seem clear about anything. For a long time after his examination they all sat together silently on the bench
 Suddenly well-dressed young man came in, walked straight to the table where the Board sat, was sworn and answered the questions put to him with intelligence and directness when he was soId that those he sought were here. He turned, saw them, moved swiftly to the old father and kissed and embraced him again and again trembling wave of emotion swept over the little group; Marietta rose, her chin quiverig, tears yelling her eyes. A mo- ment later she was in her brothers arms holding to him yet while he turned and embraced the younger brother. Presently they were all weeping uncontrollably. but the chairman peremptorily recalled the young man, who answered the remaining questions with agitated hesftancy.
 "You see," he explained to a sympathetic
 
 them"
 It was all right at last. The tickets to Philadelphia were found in the old mans pockets, after the young man had dis played the reassuring price of them to the commissioner and the ability to provide for the newcomers was satisfactorily indicated by the young mans statement that he was earning SIS week, and besides had money in the bank Some of his former earnings had found their way back to Italy, you may be sure, and part of them had gone to buy the very gown that adorned Mari etta so becomingly. Surely it air castle come true: 1t was so to them, at least, and away they went, clutching each other in frantic happiness.
 But why didn't you let them embrace as much as they wanted to when they first met?" the chairman of the board was asked. He smiled tolerantly.

After the shame of this became popular the present commits sioner started preventive measures and the outcome was society for the protection of girls lately landed to combat the forces that were determined on their downfall No girl is now allowed to leave the barge office without proper escort and tempora- ny provision is made for her with care for future employment.
