Local Distinctions

The spirit Of democracy, which hates
sham formality, was the motive in the
rebuke of a travelling salesman TO a
party of State Senators whom lie met
at the boarding house of an interior
town. They were on their way to the
capital, says the Philadelphia Times,
and were compelled to wait over for a
change of cars during dinner time.
Their conversation soon revealed to
the other guests that they were newly
elected "Solons," full of the dignity of
their position, and anxious to make an
impression on each other and every
body with whom they came In contact.
Their ponderous diction at table dis
gusted the salesman. 1t was "Will the
gentleman from Bilgeville have the
butter?" and "WilI the gentleman from
Painted Post pass the bread?" and
docs the gentleman from Nowhere
Junction care for the pickles?" and
Did the gentleman from Signboard
Township enjoy the trip?"
Even the natives present began to
squirm under the excessive formality
of 1t all, so that there was hearty
laugh when the salesman, turning to
the negro waiter, asked with fine bur-
lesque Of what the French call the
grand manner"
- "Will the gentleman from Ethiopia
bring another cup Of coffee?"

Only Gilt Edge Immigrants Get Far
ther Than Ellis Island.
While there are more immigrants at
the port of New York than ever be-
fore, the deportations are correspond
ingly numerous. A rigid enforcement
of alien laws at Ellis Island results in
more people being sent back on the
ship they came on than used to be
the case. There are many things that
may make an immigrant ineligible for
a long stay on American shores, and
among the thousands Of foreigners that
come over in the steerage every year 1t
is natural that a certain percentage
should be lacking in proper qualifica-
tions for American citizenship, or even
residence. Every day at the barge Of
fee there are pitiful scenes of dis
appointment as the immigration Off
cials coldly make arrangements to send
a man, woman. or, mayhap, whole
family, back to the country from which
they have just come. This happens
very often among the Italians, says
correspondent Of the Pitttsburg Ga
zette. A goodly percentage Of the to-
tai immigration Is from Italy, and
there are many swindltng agents in
that country who persuade their fellow
counrrymen that they may evade the
immigration laws of the United States
by embarking from some foreign port
away from Italy. The Italian Royal
