VERY mr. .IoR QUALITY.
Ooln missioner OF Immigration at New
York Comments on the Glass OF I'm
migrants We Are Receiving.

New York, Sept. 3O.-The annual
report of the commissioner of immi-
grafton at this port, William VIII
Rms, has been filed with the secre-
th'y of the treasury and in the doc
ument the commissioner criticises
without reserve the conditions which
surrounded the landing of immi-
grants at Ellis island during the ten
months previous to the change of
administration there due to Mr. Will
Iams' appointment
The commissioner says he could cite
instances of abuse and lack of sys-
TEN; that the immigrants were
roughly handled and addressed in
rough language by government and
railroad officials; that the detention
pens" were filthy, particularly the
dining room, where, the report says.
the immigrants were fed without
knives, forks or spoons; that railroad
and other passes used to be de-
manded to a demoralizing extent;
that "ships after ships" brought in
cases of favas (scalp disease) and
trachoma (eye diseased, both dan
gerous, contagious diseases unknown
IN this country until imported in
Precent years from Europe. The com
missioner says the constantly dete-
riorating quality Of the recent immi-
grafton calls for the execution of
the law in the most stringent manner
and he states that last year over
1000 aliens who had arrived within
the year became destitute in New
York.

of its safety. 1t was the same good
faithful old nanny chat Sat by
the bedside at night and croaued her
quaint old lu!labies to scare the hob
goblins away. Nanny was the
first to arouse the little sleeper in the
morning and the first to discover the
reason for poor appetite.
Few children now enjoy the bless
ings Of being cared for by real old
negro nanny" Most OF them have
already gone to land Of everlasting
freedom AMI those that are left are
fast disappearing before the scythe
Of time. The white turban and the
red bandanna, once so familiar on our
streets, are now almost things of the
past.
To compare nanny" with the
nurse of the present day would be ap.
preaching sacrilege. The grandmother
Of today all know how safe they knew
the childrcn were if nanny" was
with them. They knew that imam.
my" loved them and would be one of
first to grieve when one of the "chil-
lun" fell ill.
The nurse of this day, no matter
how long she may live, can never be-
come nanny" It took the old
school to make her, and the old school
gave its last diplomas in the year that
Lee surrendered. The genuine man
my" must have been born in slave
ry. She must have been of the Old
South, not Of the New. She must
have been attached to her masters
through the war and through the pc
riod of suffering and distress that fol-
lowed it. Above all she must have
been faithful.
With the disappearance of the old
NANNY" the old man servant is
also dying out. Such characters as
"Uncle Balla" and "Uncle Remus"
no longer 81. upon the back door step
and entertain the youngsters with
tales Of the times "befo' de wah."
The modern coachmau, perhaps, is as
good as the old, but he can't possibly
take as much pride in "de kefrige
horses" as Old Balla did. He thought
first of his horses and then Of himself.
The passing OF the old darkey is a
loss which can never be remedied.
The present generation will never
supply the want. When the last
negro, that has ouce been slave, dies
the sole time nIggez" will be extinct.
He is character all to himself aud
will never be replaced. as. J. Chafee,
