Immigration surpasses All Records.

A much more significant index Of
prosperity or depression Is the inflow
OF new workers from Europe, who
come to this country Just about as rap
idly as "jobs" open. During the twelve
months ended June 80, 1902. the num-
bsr OF immigrants recorded at the port
OF New York was close upon half a
million (i93,262)-a number which sur
passed all previous figures Of that port,
although the total immigration at all
ports Of the United States was some
what larger In 1881 and 1882 than In
the fiscal year Just closed This un-
precedented hocking of Europeans to
New York must be directly ascribed
to the marked prosperity Of American
industries In the last five or six years
for immigration has been steadily and
rapidly increasing since contributory
cause. as may be observed In the recent
increase of emigration from Germany;
but the bulk OF the transatlantic mi
grafton to the United States still con-
sists OF Italians. Poles and Slavs. whose
home industry has not experienced the
hard times that have come upon Ger
many. and who have, therefore. been
drawn to our shores simply by learn
ing OF the innumerable opportunities
for employment that exist In America.

dead man has the same baggage
rights as live one. This question has
been passed on by the chief baggage mas
ter at the union depot. and it was done
in a hurry too. There were five live per-
sons and a dead man waiting for the de-
cision. The coffin was placed in the bag
gage car and then the trunks of the five
friends were weighed.
The weight exceeded the $50 pounds
for each. but if the dead man were al
lowed baggage, this would solve the diff
ficulty. The clerk had never heard of
such thing before. He refused to check
a trunk on the dead mans ticket.
The train was almost ready to start
The five persons did not care to pay for
the excess baggage, neither did they like
to allow the body to go alone. The whis-
tie of the train footed its first warning.
Just then the chief baggage master ar
rived. He took In the situation at a
glance.
Check the trunks he exclaimed. and
the five hurried off in time to catch their
train.

of Rhode Islands war Governor, is re-
ported critically i'll at the Sprague home

of the Sprague family. 1t was there Gov
ernor Sprague found Roscoe Conkling
after he had forbidden him to visit his
wife, Kate Chase SpraRue, the daughter
of the Chief Justice of the United States.
Conkling was driven away at the point
of a shotgun by the Governor. and Kate
Chase Sprague left the house with her
three children and never returned.
Then trouble followed in all its variety
to the war Governor. From his financial
difficulties he emerged into the bank
ruptcy courts. Next came the sensational
divorce. and Governor Sprague was for
years d lonely man, and the great house
was the gloomiest place at Narrangansott
Pier.
From this gloom il was rescued by Miss
IneZ Wood when she became the second
Mrs. SpraFue. The palace was bright
again, and all the old ghosts seemed fled.
There was a ripple when the old Gov
ernor again took down the historic shot

the other players. The other two men
had abandoned their hands and looked on
with absorbing interest as the stack of
disks in the centre of the table took pro-
digious shape
Finally the opener only saw" the
other three raises and his decision was
followed by the players beyond him The
dealer gathered up the remainder of the
pack and the quartette began calling for
cards. Each one of them took one. Then
there followed a moment of silence. as
the players thoughtfully attempted to size
up the various hands and weight the value

DUNKIRK, y. Y. April 6.-An attempt
to rob l.. ". Lasalles bank at Stockton
was prevented in a sensational manner
last night.
The agent of the Dunkirk, Allegheny
Valley and pittsburg Railroad. at Moons,
observed two men ieave the train Satur-
day morning carrying heavy grip. he
saw them go eff through the woods in the
direction of Stockton. six miles distant.
The agent promptly notified the bank,
and two deputy sheriffs, with strong
armed guard. were stationed inside the
bark. About midnight the watchers from
the windows beside the door saw two men
creeping cautiously along the side of the
building
They held their guns in readiness to
FIRE if the burglars resisted capture. but
just as the two outsiders reached the
front of the building they flashed their
masked lanterns directly in the faces OF
the guard, who thus stood fully revealed
TO view.
The officers and men were blinded by
the. flash and nomentarily paralyzed by
surprise. In that instant of lost time the
cracksmen fed into the darkness. The
guard started in hot pursuit, but failed
to overtake the flying men.
1t is supposed they had a team. Two
horse blankets and some burglars tools
were found. officers are securing the
country in the hope of capturing them.

DAILY BLOWS
Brought on Appendicitis.

II a person will continue to put a little
poison in the body each day. for instance
like cup of coffee each morning when
coffee acts as poison, and it frequently
does. the result will be aa attack some
day in some of the organs Of the body.
The little disturbances each day pile up
and finally become big disturbance
Many cases OF appendicitis have been
brought on by coffee drinking 1t first

disorder travels on down through the
bowels and results in some kind of bowel
trouble, frequently appendicitis.

ing my school life both as student and
teacher | drank coffee regularly. Most
of the time / knew the coffee was injur-
ing me but did not feel like giving it up.
First my nerves felt the effect and later
on constipation developed, and after that.
the last year | had severe attack of
appendicitis. My doctor and friends all
agreed that these troubles were largely
caused by coffee drinking.
While l was i'll some Postum was sent
me by friends. l supposed it was coffee
and hesitated at the first cup. but when
the difference was explained. and | drank
as much as l cared for. with such good
results. l. concluded Postum was just
what | wanted and have used il ever
since 1t greatly aids digestion, is nour-

Theme Discussed by Hon. E. S. Gambler
at Central Union Mission.

Hon. Z. S. Gambler, jr., member OF Con-
gress from Mississippi, was the speaker
of the evening at the Central Union Mis-
sion on Louisiana Avenue, last night. He
chose as his theme What Think Ye of
Christi"
He spoke for over an hour, and en-
treated those who were not Christians to
come to the mission often and hear the
various sermons preached there. He de-
clared that they were instructive. and
gave everyone an idea of what real hap
piness means to all on earth.
Mrs. Thomas G. Noyes. the popular
Washington soloist, rendered several eX-
cellent selections. Mrs. Gondret. the
Swedish singer rendered the gospel music.
A number of converts were secured last
night. and several people pledged them
selves to lend their aid TO the mission.

National Committee to
Have First Session
Today.
NECESSITY FOR A CHANGE
Probable That Senator Hoar's Resolution
Providing for the Celebration on the
Last Thursday in April Will be Adopt
ed Without Division.

The first session of the national COM
mittce designated to deliberate upon a
change of the date of the inauguration
of the President of the United States will
be held this afternoon at $50 o'clock in
the office of the Board of Commissioners
of the District. Although forty-fvc gov
ernors of States and Territories are MEM
bers of this committee, there will be bat
two of them present-Governor Montague
of Virginia and Governor Hum of Deld-
ware
Indications are that the committee will
decide TO endorse the resolution intro
duced in the Senate by Senator Hoar pro-
viding that the date of the quadrennial
inauguration be changed from March to
the last Thursday in April.
No Dissent Heard.
That the date should be changed TO a
time when there is comparatively certain
assurance of clear skies instead of an al
most infallible deluge is . point from
which there . is practically no dissent
throughout the United States. The last
Thursday in April falls in what is usually
uelRnt1ul weather.
The session today will be devoted to or
ganization. In all probability it will be
the only session held just at this time. An
executive committee will doubtless be ap-
pointed to carry out the plan OF action de-
cided upon.
Members From Washington.
Fifteen members of the committee are
from Washington, and, with a single ex-
ception, they have served on inauguration
ceremony committees. They are:
Commissioner Henry B. F. Macfarland,
General niles. Admiral Dewey. Mr. JUS
tice Harlan, the Hon John W. Foster,
Thomas w. Smith. president of the Wash
ington Board OF Trade: John joy Edison,
James L. Norris. and Charles ]. Bell,
chairman of the last inaugural commit
tee: s. W. Woodward. II. V. Boynton,
Charles c. Glover, Beriah Wilkins of the
the Washington Star" and Frank A.
Munsey, of The Washington Times.
Represented by Proxies.
Representative Clayton will be the proxy
of the Governor of Alabama at the meet
ing. while Representatives Benton of Mis-
souri, and McRae of Arkansas will act in
similar capacity for the Chief Executives
of their States Colonel Morton, of North
Carolina, will represent the Governor Of
that State.
Commissioner Macfarland has been IN
defatigable in his efforts to bring tfe
question of change in the date of in
auguration 70 a settlement. 1t is abso-
lutely necessary that legislation on
the subject be effected during the
current session of Congress. inasmuch
as three-fourths OF the legislatures Will
have to ratify the amendment TO the
Constitution which will be necessary to
extend the term of President Roosevelt
from March 4, 1904. to the date set for the
Inauguration.
