per cent illiterates, brought $3.50 and
S4151 per capita, respectively.
The effect of immigration upon the
amount of pauperism and criminality of
the United States is of leading Importance
and the immigration laws of this country
have from the earliest inception been di-
rected mainly to the diminishing of these
effects. The census statistics comparing
the tendency to pauperism and criminality
of the foreign born with the native born
should be accepted with caution. Immi-
grants come to this country mainly after
they have reached the criminal age, and
consequently when the census writer for
1890 states that 1889 per cent of the whole
population furnishes 1924 per cent of the
institution population, the conclusion, in
far as it includes prisoners, is mslead-
ing. Persons under the age of twenty sell
dom commit crimes; the immense number
of persons of native birth below that age
contribute very little to the number of
prisoners in the country. If. on the other
hand, the number of males of the ages of
twenty to forty-fve of native birth and OF
foreign birth be compared with the number
OF criminals of native birth and foreign
birth. the showing is quite different. On
this basis it appears that the whites OF
foreign birth show a trife less -crminality
than the total number of whites of native
birth

Memories Recalled by Pike Monu-

SICKLES AND KEYS LAST SUPPER
How Gen. Isaac S. Stevens Made

Written for The Evening Star.
The unveiling of the monument to Albert
Pike recalls to me many of the bright stars
like himself who formed galaxy that
might have been ftly termed the milky
way of Washington's intellectual heavens.
They were intellectual emery wheels that
quick ly rubbed the angles of one and put
edge on him if long in their company Some
of them were Caleb Gushing, Tom Corwin,
Pike himself, Don Piatt, Jack Savage, Hen
ry Watterson, Ben Perley Poore, John
Mitchell, Thomas Francis Meagher, Cen
eral Martindale, General Heintzlemann
Ben F. wilkins, Johnny Coyle, Prof. Alex
ander Dimitry, and Fitzgerald Tasistro.
Diversion was largely their pursuit and
they sought 1t with quip and jest and song
and story and burned each other and the
midnight oil with rare good fellowship
Alexander Dimitry was great charac-
ter Swarthy as a Spaniard and built like
a Roman gladiator with the same powerful
neck and torso and close curled locks he
possessed voice as powerful as a vocal
Niagara. When he would sing the Mar

sounds of the French revolution itself.

One coupiet, which drew everybody's sub

"PICTORIAL SIGNS,
How the Men Who Paint Them Work
No Copy Needed.

From the New York Tribune.
The extensive building operations now
going on in New York have caused boom
in the sign painting business. High fences
of great length have been put up in the
business and residence parts of the city,
and on these the sign painter has made a
display of his art in glaring colors and Won
derful designs. With the uninitiated these
pictorial signs as they are called by the
makers, give rise to much speculation. Are
the pictures printed and transferred to the
boards? Are they made over a stencil or
are they painted free hand? are some of
the questions which have been asked.
One of the busy men In that line of busi-
ness said that transferred pictures were
used "once upon a time" but they were
poor investment and never gave satisfac-
tion. Stencil pictures may be used when
the size required is always the same but
these are at best poor and unsatisfactory.
The best pictures are made free hand IRON
engraved or Autographed copy. The men
who make them work from a properly laid
out copy when they make the first repro
duction, but they soon become so familiar
with the subject, no matter whether it Is
a cigar box, bottle, a human figure, a
group or a landscape, that no copy Is need
ed and the. picture is made in many sizes,
all so nearly alike that one naturally thinks
of a stencil in connection with them. a

said the foreman of the Frank Z. Jones
concern, but they could not do the work
like a sign painter. They used three times
as much time, had to get off the scaffold
and go to the street to see the effect, and
when they were all through the work was
no better than that of the painter who
worked right along"
Much of the work is done mechanically,
according to the statement of a veteran in
the business. He demonstrated it by tell
ing of an experience. He had painted a
picture sign daily for long time in which
a hour barrel was the display feature The
order was filled, and he worked on all sorts
of pictures for two years, when he had 20

pictures were in every detail like ,hose of

Not his. like the master of string,
