Americans Who Move.

Study OF the recent United States
census shows some remarkably in.
teresting facts, and among them the
one that we are the greatest nation
of rolling stones on the earth but,
notwithstanding that fact, we succeed
in gathering the moss Of material pros.
perlty.
The official figures show that out OF
native born population of 65,S43,30
there are 13,S63,6J1 living in States
different from those in which they
were born. That is, more than one
person out Of five has left the State
of his birth to seek his fortune else
where.
If we count the 10,4G0, 1856 foreign
born residents We find that about one
third Of the population has moved
from the State or country Of birth.
These figures show our mobility to be
in the ratio of ten TO one as compared
with that of Europe.
The State Of New York has sent out
100000 of her children, who are now
residing in other States, and has re-
ceived from other States in their stead
534, 900 residents. Vermont has a most
remarkable record, which shows that
she has children living in other States
equal in number TO one.half Of her
present population.

John Graham Brooks, IN lecture on
"The Best of UtOpias,' at Brooklyn

"What education will give our race

strength to use our vast and untamed

burg Railway company sent out a
number of cars especially for the
transportation Of those injured and
these were lined up both on the Shar-
aden and Mckee Rocks road and the
unfortunates were carried to them.
Despite the fact that rain came
pouring down all morning thousands
went to Sharaden to view the scene
of the disaster.
The Sharaden yards lie between
two hills. Upon these hills are thou
sands watching the crews of the

Passenger trains are gliding by the
wreck quickly since the news of the
gas main became known in the city.
Two fiat cars lie on the siding covered
with clothing picked up during the
night. The majority of these are
rags charred.
It is a common sight in Sharaden
this morning to see people with their
heads and hands bandaged. Many
are burned whose, names have not ap-
peared.
