IMMIGRATION.

The question OF whether this country
is enjoying a period OF prosperity may
be answered by a reference to the i'm
migration statistics. They generally
show the'business status Of the country,
falling and rising with the depression
or expansion Of trade and industry.
The figures furnished by the commits
sioner Of immigration for the port OF
New York show a considerable increase
in the first nine weeks OF this year
over the same period In 1899. The totals
for the two periods mentioned are as
follows:
Jan. Feb March1-15 Total.
1899 -. 80. s,4H 1l5l2 $500 2s,456
1900 80. ...i2,47O 1851 1900 is,0el
The nationalties that 10 to make up
the numbers is an interesting feature
OF the statistics. From the southern
parts Of Italy no less than s5ls have
arrived this year. Hungarians, Polish.
Llthuanans, etc. number 5,9OS, while
the Hebrews reach the figure OF e,S42.
With the expected immigration on a
large scale OF Finlanders. and the pos
sible influx OF Transvaal Beers after
the war, this country has prospect Of
receiving a larger addition to its popu-
lation this year than It has had for
many years past.
But here is plenty of room for indus
trious and frugal citizens, As long as
there are millions of acres Of land TO
reclaim. legitimate immigration cannot
be other than a benefit to the country.

Stanton had been a sufferer from epilepsy
for some years and expected to die from

had a sum of money in safety deposit
vault and gave instructions for his
burial. Stanton wrote that he wished a
modest burial and directed that all bills

she be not notified Of his death until MS

Stanton had been resident OF this

He Had Suffered From Such Attacks
and Had Made Provision for the
Disposition of His Body In a Let
ter Found In His Pocket.

John F. Stanton, living at 546 Sibley
street, was found dead in his room short
ly after o'clock yesterday afternoon
Death Is believed to have been due 10 an
attack of epilepsy, probably, as Stanton
was about to retire Friday night. No In
dication Of struggle in his room was
heard about the house, however, and 1t
was not known that Stanton was dead
until yesterday afternoon
For some years Stanton was a victim of
epilepsy. Several times the police have
been called upon to remove him to his
home when fit seized him on the street.
About month ago he was taken from
Third and Jackson streets to the central
station, but there recovered sufficiently to
go home unattended. Stanton roomed at
the home of F. G. Phillips He went to
his room shortly after 8 o'clock Friday
evening and was not again heard from
When Stanton did not appear by noon
yesterday it was remarked as unusual, but
suspicion that anything might be wrong
did not arise>until Mr.. Phillips went home
in the afternoon. He determined to In
vestigate, and found Stanton's door lock-
ed. Looking over the transom Mr.. Phil
lips saw Stanton lying dead on the bed.
The body lay as though Stanton had fall

It.. He had on an undershirt and his

The face was buried In the bed clothes,
while the neck and face were black as
though from suffocation. The lamp was
still burning.
Coroner Nelson investigated the case
and decided that Stanton had died while
in q fit. That Stanton expected the NAL
ady with which he was afflicted to cause
his death was shown by letter found In
his trunk. The letter was written last
