100000 immigrants came tc
this country last year. All
paupers are returned at the ex-
pense of the ship line bringing
them over. Last year $4,000
were so deported. All immi-
grants undergo a rigid examina-
ton as to contagious diseases,
diseases of the eye, throat, etc.,
At New York, froms260 to 5000
cases are passed on in day. To
meet and examine all these i'm
migrants the attendants must be
extensive linguists. According
to Friedrich Boyd Stevenson all
of them speak at least seven or
eight languages, and the chief Of
the interpreters speaks 20. In
all there are 242 languages aud

Robinson circus gave two
most enjoyable performances yes
terday, and two immence audi.
ences applauded the various fea-
lures of the entertainment.
There were no special "head-
lines, '!but as real, old fash
toned circus performance the
show was a success. There were
the always welcomed clowns in
numbers, who kept plenty of fun
going previous to ana through
out the performance; there were
the bare, back riders, the trapeze
performers the acrobats, the per
forming animals, the wire walkers,
the strong men, the hypodrome
races, the peanuts, and the
lemonade, and the country cou
sins galore.

Spectacular Production

The performance opened with
grand spectacle, representing
Solomon in His Temple. - This
spectacle was, indeed. an UNDER
taking to produce In a circus
tent. There were several hun
dred people used to properly in.'
terpret the living panorama, and
a ballet of about 30 women, be-
sides several acrobats and strong
men performed before the wise
old king. The ballet was much
better, under the difficulties of
dancing on sawdust and grass,
than some that are presented in
theatres, and a number of intri.
cate figures were gone through
gracefully.
The performance WIS a clean
one, nothing Objectionable was
done, and the reputation that was
made by old John Robinson him
self was we'll sustained.
The menagerie was not the
largest ever seen here, but the
collection of animals was choice
one, and embraced a number of
fine lions and tigers and a herd
of performing elephants.
Some of the aerial acts were
startling, and the wire walkers,
of which there were three, two
men end a woman, provedsto be
the best ever seen in a circus
here. One of the best equestrian
features was that of a lady riding
bare back with long skirts.
Countless Features.
The number of features were
almost countless, as three rings
were conrtantly beng used in
presenting the performance.
So much for the circus; it was
a good one. But the concert was
atrocious. There was nothing in
it worth the while, and those who
remained to be entertained with
a vaudeville performance were
glad when it was over.
Mrs. Gill's boys went to the
matinee performance by invita-
ton Of the management, and the
Richmond Elks, in a body, eu-
joyed and applauded the per-

A sur, Enough an,lna Tirer. $

On last Thursday City Marshal
Hurst arrested aud carried before May
OF Daugh,ry, Napoleon Case, a young
man who lives in the country near
Brookhaven, on the charge of selling
whisky in violation of law. The evil
dence against him was very strong and
conclusive and he was given the option
by the Mayor of pleading guilty or
going to trial. He chose to plead guilty
aud throw himself on the mercy of the
court and was sentenced to Jail for 30
days and assessed with the costs.
As the Marshal was about to lead
him away to Jail, it occurred to him to
search his clothes and in his peck
cts he found three half-pint TASKS of
whisky, sealed and ready to be dealt
out to Cases customers, as he mean
dered about the streets and back lots
of Brookhaven. When he reached the
county Jail and turned him over to
Sheriff Applewhite, the Sheriff sub
jected him to another search and dis
covered fourth flask of liquor hid
away in his clothes.
"Poley Case" as he is called, has
long had the reputation Of being one Of
the most notorious walking blind I'll
gers with which Brookhaven was ever
infested, not even excepting Charley
Moses and Old Hogg. He is "a blind
tiger in almost double sense, for,
while carrying on low-down, shady
business, he is nearly physically blind,
and to the casual observer would pass
as totally blind man. He cannot see
but few feet from him, and if he has
been plying his disreputable trade as
long as he has the reputation of doing,
it is most strange that the officers
have not trapped him sooner. He has
at last received just the treatment he
deserves, and if he goes back to selling
liquor again when he gets out of Jail,
his sentence should be doubled or treb
led. There is no more infamous, de-
grading or dangerous business than
blind tigerism-dangerous to the whole
community in which it is plied,-and
Cases physical infirmity furnishes no
justification or palliation for his en-
gaging in it for livelihood. If need
be, the county can far better support
him in Jail or in the poor house, rather
than give him carte blanche to roam at
large and sell blindtiger whisky to
whom he listeth.
Lucius Sanders, a one armed negro,
was convicted before the Mayor for
selling whisky the same day as Case,
and given 60 days and costs, which he
willwork out on the county farm. Po-
liceman Ratcliff scooped him in.
