ance with orders from Washington the
Porto Rican immigrants. who arrived here
Thursday night on the Arradia. under
contract to work on sugar plantations in
Hawaii. were allowed to land yesterday
and took a special train for San Francis

nor were they required to give bond, as
Cinnamon do when passing through the

The immigration authorities took the po-
sition that the Porto Ricans are people of
the United States, and therefore not sub
ject to the restrictions placed on foreign
immigrants by the immigration law, which
shuts out all contract labor 1t was ad-
mitted that the Porto Ricans came to this
country under contract, and the only issue
was as to their rights as American citizens.

are concerned we have done well.

sold one Of these at good figure the
first year. Then the Mcclure girls and
myself opened small hotel. By de-
grees we enlarged the hotel until in
1897 we sold 1t out for $1,000.
"Then we invested in more claims,
one Of which was taken away from us
by the government because there was a
flaw in our title. We worked two and
cleaned up $4,000 in six months. Even
tually we sold them for $4,000 cash
and intended to start for Nome. Then
word came that Nome was not so rosy
a prospect as early reports had indicat-
ell, so we began closing out our other
interests to return east.

The Alvord Case.

New York, Dec. 26.-The trial OF
Cornelius Alvord, Jr., defaulting cash
Ter of the First National bank of this
city, is set for Wednesday in the Unit
ed States district court. The amount
of his defalcation was 100000. One
of the interesting features of the trial
and which in all probability will be
brought out by the United States dis
trict attorney in his examination, is
the amount of restitution of the stolen
funds made up to this time. The Off
GERS of the First Nationa, bank have
been reticent on this point ever since
Alvord's arrest. The sale Of his ef.
fects in his home in Mount Vernon
amounted to very little. Where the
bank really made good part of it's loss
was, it is said in the turning over of
Mrs. Alvord's jewels. Their value
has been estimated at nos less than
$150,000, and the story goes that they
were taken to the bank ard placed In
the custody of one of the officers, who
locked them up in a strong box until
they could be appraised and sold. How
long these gems were In the posses
sion of Mrs. Alvord is not known. 1t
is said she has had them for three or
four years and that they were presents
from her husband. The whole story is
expected to come out before the pros,
ecution closes it's case.

The bath ana Longevity.

The number of women who are de-
voted to the daily bath grows larger
each week, but there are plenty of un-
converted sisters. We do not half IN
derstand the advantages Of free use
Of water. l was told the other day of
woman who at 90 retains not only
youthful appearance, but her strong
mentality, a personality of great charm
and a number Of accomplishments,
among which is voice of unimpaired
beauty. How has she managed it?
First of all by the free use of water
inwardly and outwardly, then by an
indomitable will which does not recog-
nize the lapse of years or the approach
Of disease. She is In absolutely perfect
health, obtained and retained by intelli-
gent effort and thorough understand
ing Of the needs of her body and brain.
She rules by reason Of her intellect and
personality where younger and less
gifted women fail. She fears no rival
of any age because she has never ac-
knowledged defeat. and she began her
career without beauty
"Know thyself" has been her watch
word. She has most intimate ac-
quaintance with herself, but nobody
else can boast Of knowing what she
will do next. She has understood the
wisdom of holding her tongue where
her own affairs were concerned and
has Stunned confidants. I wish that l
could describe her as eloquently as she
deserves, for even with the selfish mo-
tives which undoubtedly govern many
Of her acts she Is to be admired for the
seemingly impossible things she has
done. She rose from an ordinary posi-
ton in life to her present eminence
through pure grit and fearlessness and
should be commended for the feat. She
has been the spur that drove clever,
talented men to their best efforts and
the means of securing them the re-
wards they deserved. Just to hear Of
such woman is stimulating, isn't p

KILLED THREE MEN.
John Tiger, Drunken Indian, INDUCES
in Wholesale Shooting.

Muskogee, |. T., Dec. 26.-John
Tiger, full-blood Indian ferryman
on the Arkansas river two miles south
of Eufaula, went to Eufaula with his
wife Tuesday afternoon, and while i'm
toxicated met l.. B. Roper and threat
ened to kill him. Roper Immediately
struck Tiger with board. no words
passing between them. Tiger went to
his buggy, procured a Winchester and
came back to kill Roper, but failed to
find him. Enraged, he proceeded to
shoot every one he saw, shooting Jesse
Beck through the hips and killing
him; shooting and killing Dave Porter,
a nephew of Chief Porter, and mover
named Johnson on his way to Missouri
in a covered wagon with his family.
Bud Taylor, aged Is, boy, was shot
through the shoulder and is not ex-
pected to live.
Tiger Immediately jumped on
horse and tried to escape, but was pur-
sued. Tiger was chased three miles
when he jumped off his horse, went be-
hind a tree and began shooting. Dep
uty Marshal Johnson, who returned
the fire, struck Tiger in the arm. The
murderer surrendered and was
brought to Eufaula. Tigers arm will
have to be amputated. Great indigna-
ton prevails over the free sale of
lQuirs and fire arms.
]. Smith, who lives two miles south
of Checotah, became involved In a
quarrel with T. Thompson over the
affair at Eufaula and began shooting,
Thompson being mortallJ wounded.

She Is a comfortable sort Of person

Is getting a vast amount of good out of

Lady de Grey In Trade.

Lady de Grey, who has just been de-
clared ineligible any longer to the soci-
ETY. Of Queen Victorias court, has been
gone into trade, and SO it appears that
ladies who go into trade, whatever
their family and rank may be, are not
regarded as fit for the society that
gathers about sovereign. She will
probably find plenty Of society in the
obscurity into which she has been cast
by this decree. So many men and wo-
men Of title have recently gone into
business in England that society
among that set ought to be very tolera-
BILE.
Lady de Grey is one of the most con-
spicuous women in London's smartest
set She has practically been in con-
troll Of the opera season at Covent Gar
den for the past six years and has been
known to travel all the way from
London to Moscow to hear a singer
whose engagement was contemplated.
She Is the intimate friend of Jean de
Reszke and is largely responsible for
the success of the opera season at Co.
vent Garden, since without her efforts
1t is scarcely probable that the sub
scribers could ever be gathered. Her
social influence helps to keep up the
standard of the boxholders. and she
devotes as much time to the manage
ment of the season of opera as if she
were going to make a large profit out
of it herself.
But the only reward she has ever
been known to enjoy is the friendship
of the opera singers. 1t was in her
drawing room that Jean de Reszke first
sang the music of "Siegfried," and at
her over Sunday house parties near
London both Jean and Edouard sang
"coon" songs to Nine. Jean de Reszke's
accompaniment on the piano. This has
been all her reward for exertions on
behalf Of the opera. Her real business
enterprise is a tearoom which she is to
conduct I'm partnership with a well
known hotel proprietor. Her debts are
said to be very large, and her bus-
bands family has, according to one
story, refused to pay them again.
Hence the tearoom and its accompany
ing isolation from the society Of the
English court-New York Sun.
