stassstics of British EmIgiants.

Statistics just issued by the Board of Trade show that during 1899 total of 241 ,405 emigraAts left Great Britain. as compared with 205,1 in the previ- ous year. The greater proportion of this increased outflow of 36,000 con- sisted of foreigners. HoWsver; these were birds of passage" numbering e0,000, compared with 60,00o in 1898. The numbee of British emigrants was over 5000 in excess or that in 1893. and it is remarkable that this was wholly due to an increased exodus from Ireland, 5000 more persons of Irish birth leaving last year, prac- tically all going to the United States, while the English emigrants were 5000 fewer Of the total number of British emigrants, viz, 146,777, no fewer thaL e2,5 ,532 were bound for the great fie- public, an increase Of 22,000 as com pared with 1898, and 16.451 for British North America, decrease of 1,20G Australia received 11,478, against I0,- 693. while the outlook oS war so seri ously checked emigration to South Africa that the number declined from ls.75s in 1898 to 14.bG0 las. wesr.

Here is an illustration of what one copy Of
the paper does each week. The postmis-
tress at Ashvile takes The American. First
she sends it to her father and mother, then
her brother and bis family have it, then it
comes home and is read; then it goes up to
Jonas Llndsey's, from there to Emerson
Prebles, then out to Hiram Preble's, and
back home again to be read by whoever is at
the store then it goes to ISIS Julia Bunker,
in DR.. Boothby's hospital in Boston, aud is
read by no one knows how many there.

The journal can furnish many similar
illustrations. A very conservative estimate
gives an average of ten readers to each copy

The Cape Rozier Mine.
J. d. GRAY of Cape Rozier writes to til

J. D. GRAY of Cape Rozier writes to the
Industrial Journal as follows:
There have been shipped from this mine
many tons of zinc and copper ore. There is
today fine vein of zinc II feet wide
very near the surface The ore is mostly
zinc near the surface, but as you go deeper
it runs into copper. Al certain depths there
has been taken out some fine copper ore.
The ore can be put on to good landing
ready for shipping at a very small expense,
as the mine is only few hundred feet from
landing where large vessels can load with
perfect safety.
All that is necessary is to buy all the stock
OF the dead heads who have so long retarded
the working of the mine, being unwilling to
either work it themselves or let others. I'm
der proper management the mine could be
made to pay almost at the start.

Anti American Festivals.

The Springfield Musical Festival has
departed for good, killed by the fearful
prices the people paid to The foreign
opera star. Worcester is not in good con
dition financially, and now, after putting
high priced foreign stars into the Maine
Festival as preliminary to its destruc
ton, Mr.. VIM. II. Chapman is canvassing
New Hampshire and Vermont trying to
organize Festivals so that the fearfully
overpaid foreign singer should be engaged
for solo parts, thus killing off all chauGes
OF the native American girl. Under the
arrangement existing between Chapman
and Grau the latter will farm out his I'M
ported high salary stars and get 80 per
| cent. of the sums paid to them by the
citizens OF New England for the direct
purpose of crushing out the aspirations of
hundreds OF american singers who are
constantly driven to the wall by the trust
that controls these overpaid foreign stars.
We do not believe that the citizens of
Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire and Mas
sachusetts can be induced to aid or abet
this anti American crusade conducted by
self-:nterested parties for he turtherance
of musical schemes in this country that
crush out home talent and that overpay
the advertised foreign star singers, who
would not come here at all if they were
not overpaid and provided with such in
comes as enable them to divide their
salaries with all kinds of agents and others
interested in the business departments of
| musical affairs. We do not believe the
New England people Will give their coun-
tenance to a plan that is 50 intensely hos
tile to our home talent and which is de-
stroying all opportunities of American
singers. 1t is put up job to get money
out of New England to pay the foreign
high priced singer, and that is all. To
claim that art is in it, or music, is rank
nonsense Musical Courier.
