woman and did not intend to set her

A wrathful CLEAN flashed into the
eyes Of the white woman. She looked
the woman over for a moment and
then turned as though to walk away,
but instead dropped leisurely into the
seat on which was the bandbox. It
was one Of those lazy ways OF sitting

there was a ripping OF pasteboard and

box let out q yell which aroused every
one In the station and pushed the.
white woman out OF the seat. But she
was too late. The gorgeous hat was
crushed all out Of shape. The colored;
woman's scream attracted the police,
but when they learned what caused the
trouble they took no action. The hat
crnsher refused to give her name or,
address and the colored woman was SO.
angry that she was unable to articu-
late distinctly.

equally important ways.
The principle Of the invention Is
entirely original. 1t being the first Of
Its kind ever presented to the patent
authorities. "A full technical descrip-
ton Of the machine would occupy too
much space. but a brief review is in
teresting. The apparatus isscomposed
OF two small machines, the ribbon case
and the recorder. They can be at
tached to any pair OF scales, railroad
or wagon. The principle is harmonic

Weights placed On the scale the ter
sion on the ribbon naturally increases
as the weight becomes heavier. The
electrical attachments u the ribbon
to vibrate. and the number or rate Of
vibration varies according to the strain
on the ribbon from the scale beam.
These vibrations are very rapid, hard
:ly %perceptible to the naked eye, yet
they open and close an electrical cir
cult; and in the same manner another
metallic ribbon Is made to vibrate that
is placed ON the same circuit. Har-
monte vibration is next applied.
tits q well-known principle that mu-
steal reeds and strings will vibrate In
unison when their particular tones are
produced neal them. In the recording
machine there Is a set OF musical
reeds. The different weights cause diff

on the scales causes q high tension,
and q high rate of vibration OF the
metal ribbon. and the result Ia q cor

der into the United States and thus
evading the laws governing the adj
mission Of immigrants into that coun-
try, with which they were not in q
position to conform. The Vienna le-
cation promptly reported the matter
to the state department, and steps
were Immediately taken to strengthen
the force of immigration inspectors
along the Canadian frontier. In ad-
dttion, Robert Watchorn, special i'm
migration inspector, was directed to
go to Roumania and investigate the
conditions there. Recently a confer
ence was held at Vienna, at which
Charles v. Herdlika, charge .d'affaires
at Vienna; Arthur s.. Hardy, United
States minister to Greece and Rou-
mania; Mr.. Watchorn from Washing
ton, and M. Take Jonesco, ex-minister
Of finance, Roumania, were present.
M. Jonesco, who seemed thoroughly
familiar with the whole situation, ex-
planned the conditions leading up to
the movement. The real. reason for
the attempted exodus was, he said, the
temporary distress prevailing in Rou-
mania. There had been a run of bad
harvests and very little money was
left In the country. No classes had
suffered 0 keenly than the small
shopkeepers, small money lenders and
artisans. and the bulk of these were
Jews. There was, too, a permanent
oyercrowding of the business in which
the Jews usually engaged, and the
situation was rapidly growing worse
through the constant stream Of Jewish
immigrants, In spite of the laws pro-
hibiting their admission to the coun-
try. Another ease for the emigra-
ton movement, and of an entirely dir
ferent character, was to be found in
the new Jewish generation now grow
ing up. These young Jews are ex-
tremely dissatisfied with the social and
political position of their race in Rou-
mania. They resent the contemptuous
federation extended to them and de-
mand to be put on an equality with
their neighbors. II they cannot sue
coed in getting these conditions alter
ed they prefer to leave the country.

jews CEASE TO CONE.
Exodus af R%oumonions Has Ceased.

To the probable relief of the gov
ernments Of Hungary, Austria, and
Holland, and to some extent the Unit
ed States also. the exodus OF Jews
from Roumania has practically ceased,
says Robert Attner in the Chicago
Record. More than 5000 OF those who
last started for America got no further
than Budapest or Vienna, whence they
were promptly sent back to Roumania.
For the present it is believed the
movement is over, at any rate until
next year. Beginning in the early
GUNNER Of this year the number OF
these emigrants increased so rapidly
that the governments of Hungary and
Austria, whose territories they were
crossing, became alarmed. For the
most part the travellers were without
means of subsistence and threatened
10 become a burden on the local au-
thorities OF these countries. The Dutch
government, too, became interested,
since Roumania, In her anxiety to rid
herself OF the Jews was giving to as
many Of them as space permitted free
transportation on the state steamship
line to Rotterdam, Indifferent as to
whether they had the necessary means
to cross the Atlantic or not. Each OF
these countries made strong diplomats
ic remonstrances to Roumania on this
subject, and both Austria and Hun
gary gave notice that the refugees
would not be permitted to cross their
borders unless they were provided
with SUFFICIENT funds to reach Ham
burg, Bremen or some other port of
embarkation. These conditions were
strictly enforced. and nearly 4 score
Of emigrant parties, numbering in all
o than 5000 men, women and.
children, were sen back to Roumania.
Meanwhile the attention of the treas
ury authorities at Washington had
been drawn to the movement. In
nearly every case the parties going to
America claimed that Canada was
their destination. but the oficials Of
the United States legation. in Vienna
had strong eason to conclude that
the emigrants we're going to Canada
