peculiar state of affairs. The widow OF the late

Brown a minority stakeholder. who was publisher
OF the paper for several years then the old en-
ployes were dropped, sinSly and in pairs, until
total of hfty-eight had been missed. Next the ten

and agreements signed by Colonel Brown were
not considered having any value until the Bur
relle Press Clipping Bureau, which has five
years lease executed In 1897, asserted Its rights
and took the affair into court. Tomorrow the
case will come 10 trial. and probably will be the
forerunner of many others. on August l at

Comparing the statistics of former years with
that of the last year. in respect to the nationality
of these newcomers 1t is found that the sources of
immigration have shifted from the area bounded
roughly by Berlin, Paris and Antwerp to that

great increase in the immigration of Hebrews is
also marked, nearly all of whom now come from
