THE CITY OF NEW YORK.
Small Proportion of Its Citizens Natives
OF Other States.

The population of the city of New York
according to the census of 1900, was g. 48L-
2O2. OF this number 1,270069 arc foreign
born, all but about $4,000 being natives OF
Europe. Great Britain sent us 365 600.
Scandinavia nearly 5000, the Teutonic
countries nearly 100000, the Latin races
10000, and the Slavonic countries 2+j,000
There are also in tow 5000 Asiatics, -, 900
Canadians and about 300 Mexcans. These
figures We're given on January Is, at the
conference of the federation of churches,
by DIR. f. II. Wines, assistant director Of
the census 1t Is matter of frequent dis
cussion how many New Workers. were born
in New York. The census does not tell
that, but its returns do show that So ,7l9
of the population of 3,4312 02 Were born in
the State of New York. Deductng the
foreign-born population and this New York
State population, it leaves US only 27t,4li
citizens who were born in other States
citizens Of New York, six out of every
seven were born in New York State That
seems rather a surprising piece of informa-
hears so much of New Workers who come
to New York from Connecticut, Massa-
chusetts, California, Maryland, Illinois,
Ohio, and lately Pennsylvania, that he
gets an impression that the town draws
heavily and somewhat impartially from all
States. The truth is, IL draws aspiring sue
cessful, and well-to-do men from all over
the country but recruits the bulk of It's
population either from near at hand on
from across the seas. Poorer people don't
'omc great distances to New York to seek
their fortunes, unless they come III steam

MISS ELLEN NJ STONE-TTIE STORY
OF HER CAPTURE.

Ellen Nj. Stone has been a missionary
since 1878 in the service Of the American
Board of Foreign Missions. She was born
in RoNbury. Mass. She was captured on
September Of last year. by Bulgarian
hrigands while she was travelling in the
mountainous country lying between Tur-
key and Bulgaria. There were several
missionaries in the party, but the brigands
set all free with the exception of Miss
Stone and Nine. Tsilka, the wife of a
preacher.
When the reports Of Miss stones cap-
ture reached America the American Board
at first decided not to pay any ransom,
holding that it would encourage brigands
to capture other missionaries. The matter
was laid before President Roosevelt and
one OF his first acts after assuming his
office was to take steps looking toward the
Captives' release.
Strong pressure was brought to bear on
the Bulgarian and Turkish governments.
end Consul General Dickinson at Com
stantinople was ordered to take all posi-
lie steps. He went to Sofia and conducted
negotiations there. Meanwhile Miss Stone
got a letter through to Consul Dickinson
saying that the brigands demanded \ ran
sem of $4,000 October 2, word came that
the brisands had fixed October rs the
date when the ransom must be paid or
Miss Stones life would be forfeited An
appeal to Christian America for contribu-
tions then resulted In the collection of $50 =
900 in three days.
This was sent to the state department
ard cabled to Mr.. Dickinson. Since that
time further contributions have been sent.
SO that the amount the Rev. Mr. Peet.
financial agent Of the American Board al
CoEstantinople, had when he started to
get Miss stone was approximately s72.-
GO This sum, il is understood, the brig
8nds received.

WHEN MISS ROOSEVELT GOES TO
COURT.

When Princess Alice goes to court
Dressed in her crimson robes trow
They may be glad who gather there
TIC give the western girl 4 show
And we that have the pride of kings
and bow to none that tread the earth
We who shine but for what we do,
Since We are all or royal birth
May be assured that all the world
Stall hear a fair and proud report
In re the daughter of the west.
When Princess Alice goes to court.
They say that she will have no crown
All. but they err, for she Will wear
The fairest, proudest crown OF all
That may bedeck the proud heads there
Upon her brow the diadem
OF liberty will lightly rest,
Ennohlng and distinguishing
The royal daughter of the west,
And thrice shall he be hcnored who
Extends his arm for her support,
Though scion OF a hundred kings,
When Princess Alice goes to court.
How pitiful will they appear
Among the lesser subjects there
Who eagerly rave welded for
The foolish titles that they bear
She, radiant daughter of the west!
Shall stand before them free and proud
a cvnosuro for all. while they
Remain unnoiced in the crowd,
And we that ere as kings uncrowned.
BY birth required to rerort
To God alone, may point with pride
When Princess Alice goes to court.

CURTIS A STAR WRITER.
Goes Where He Likes and Writes What
He Pleases.

William T.. Curtis, the author OF The
True Thomas Jefferson" recently pub
lished, occupies a unique position upon
the American press. Perhaps no other
editor, correspondent or reporter in the
world enjoys the same distinction.
For the last sixteen years his letters
ave appeared daily in the Chicago Record
now Record-Herald He is allowed to 80
where he pleases and stay as long as he
likes; he can write on any subject from
any point Of view, regardless of the editor
ial policy of the paper, and his dispatches
and letters are never edited. His only pur-
pose is to tell the truth, no matter whom
il helps or hurts, and he has done so
with conscientious energy that Is recog-
nized by the editorial profession and the
public of the Central and Western
States.
Few newspaper writer's are copied so
much as he, and none has larger personal
constituency. He has travelled in all
countries, has written on all subjects, and
since December l. 1893, his letter has ap-
peared regularly every morning.

Constantinople, Feb. 23.-Miss Ellen NJ.
Stone the American missionary, who, with
Madame TsillSa, was captured by brigands
IN the district of Salonika Sept last. has
been released and arrived at Strumitza,
Macedonia at 3 o'clock this morning.
Nobody was at Strumitza to meet Miss
Stone. as the hrigands had given no in
dication where they proposed to release the
prisoners. Mmc. Tsilka and her baby were
also released at the same time. They are
all well. Miss Stone Immediately made her
self known TO the authorities
The news of the release was received in
a telegram to the American consul at
Salonika. The telegram gives no details of
the release. AS Strumit5a is near the
Salonika Uslkub railroad, Miss Stone will
proceed to Salonika without delay.

THE CASE OF GEN. WIN. F. SMITH.

Gen. w. F.. Smith, major L. S. A., re-
tired is not content with the conclusions
OF the board of Army Officers. which de-
cided that no injustice was done to his
military record by the inscription on the
maps Of the Chickamauga and Chatta-
nooga battle fields which gave the credit
for opening communication with Bridge
port by way of Browns Ferry October q,
1853, to Rosecrans. General Smith has
published an interesting pamphlet in
which he reviews the decision of the
board. He Indignantly denies the charge
of special pleading brought against him
by the board and declares that the con-
illusions Of the board are without proper
basis Of fact, and that they used as part
OF their testimony a magazine article
written by Rosecrans twenty-five years
after the fact in which, as General Smith
alleges there was false quotation from
a report by General Thomas and also a
despatch from Rosecrans which never had
any existence. He fatty contradicts other
statements by the board. There Is
nothing General Smith enjoys so much as
fight and he is able and uncompromis-
Ing as a controversalist as this pamphlet
shows. We have always supposed that he
was entitled to the credit Of the Browns
Ferry affair.-Army and Navy journal.

NEW YORK'S FAMOUS WEDDING.
1t Was Called the Diamond Wedding"
and Stedman Wrote a Poem About It,

Perhaps the most sensational cere-
mony OF marriage that has ever been
performed In New York was the one known
everywhere in the United States as the
diamond Wedding" 1t was the union
of daughter OF Lieut.. Bartlett, of the
United States Navy, to Cuban gentle
man of great wealth, Don Estaban Santa
Cruz de Oviedo, AS generous as he was
opulent, Oviedo lavshed upon the bride
more than one hundred thousand dollars
worth Of pearls and diamonds The nuptial
rites were solemnized by Archbishop
Hughes, Stedman concentrated the
event in poem, and moralists pointed to
1t as an extraordinary instance of the
evils of splendor and luxury that were
corrupting American society. So great was
the curiosity to witness this wedding
that probably for the first time on such
an occasion cards OF admission were issued
TO the church. A squad of policemen was
required simply to protect the bride and
groom from strangers who rushed after
them. The magnificent nuptials, It may be
remarked, had melancholy sequel: the
bridegroom soon died; his widow, under
the Spanish laws. was entitled only to the
right of dover and all the gifts which he
had showed upon her were taken away
from her on the ground that legally they
were heirlooms.-March Ladies' Home

CAPTURE FOR POLITICAL EFFECT
Spencer Eddy Says That is Why 1t Was
SO Difficult to Secure Miss
Stones Release.

New York, Feb 23.-Spencer Eddy, first
eecrotary OF the United States legation at
ronstantinople. who had charge Of the
regulations for the release of Miss Ellen
NJ. Stone and Mrs. Tsilka arrived here to-
day on the KronprnZ Wilhelm In an in
lcrview he said the brigands captured an
American rather than any other mission
nry because they believed the Americans
rad the most money ana would be likely
to pay the ransom.
Did the brigands wnnt the money for
themselvcs?" Mr.. Eddy was asked
NO. they did not and that is where the
people in America do net understand this
case. 1t is entirely political matter and
all the people in Mac edonia are in SYM
pathy with the kidnapping for they be-
lieve it is a STEP toward freeing Macedonia
from Turkish rule, the same as Bulgaria
has been and the morey they demanded
Gim,00O) was intended for the Macedonian
cause.
IF we had been dealing with the profess
Hional brtgands who wanted money pure
and simple instead of the political ones
Miss Stone would have been released long
ago. 1t is very likely that this capture
was deliberated upon for a long time and
the victims selected were considered best
10 serve the cause when compared with
those Of other nationalities.'
DO the Macedonians have any feeling
of enmity toward the missionaries
NO tneN are Tdtner friendly 10 tncIn
than otherw Use. They desired to attract the
attention of the world to their cause and
incidentally to get some much needed
money. l have every reason to believe
they have given Miss Stone and her COM
panion in captivity the very best of treat
ment. When Mrs. Tslka's baby was born
she received the kindest of treatment from
all we can learn.
WILL NOT DIVULGB THEIR SECRET
London, FEB. o4-Wiring from CONSTANT
NOrle, the correspondent of the Daily
Chronicle says he understands that owing
to the necessity of protecting the innocent
persons who assisted them, the American
delegates will never dvulge where and how
the ransom money fer tie release Of Miss
stone was paid. The correspondent learns.
however, that the ruse OF filing :he money
bags with lcad after the ransom had been
aid. with view Of making 1t appear that
the mission % pay the ransom had failed,
was completely successful. II Is practical
~ certain that the rar som money goes to
the Macedonian committee.
Miss Stone, continues the correspondent,
l. completely innocent OF any knowledge
Of the plot to lidnap her, but strong sus-
piciCus are entertained about some Bull
garans who accompanied Ter party, or re
manned behind.

he joins the clock third time, and la silly
once more late in December. Now 1t
would seem as II he were startled at the
way he had neglected us. In February he
fell back until he WIS IS minutes late.
BY the beginning of March he had made
up five minutes of his loss, and before the

Meanwhile tho days have been growing
longer very rapidly. We begin March with
