MONEY OF THE IMMIGRANTS

A pleasant-faced little man. With mild blue eyes that looked forth trust ingly at the strange sights of the new world, stood in front of the money changers booth in the big immigra- tion building on Ellis Island Ills wife, q typical German woman, and three children formed a patient Wall ing group behind him. The man wore q suit of s'copperas jeans" stained ana worn, top-bOots, and the high peaked cap of the German peasant. He was fumbling through his garments ana producing money. Thalers, marks, imperial treasury notes, and gold pieces fell from his dirty fingers until q tidy little heap was lying on the counter.
 Some of the immigration officers standing near looked on in amaze ment The little German had seemed peculiarly unproductive soil fof such
 a harvest. When he had done With his searching the immigrant had some-
 thing over $500 to be converted into United States Treasury notes He grinned cheerfully when the neat little
 pile of crisp green bills was handed to him. and opening his shirt, slowed the roll where he could feel it next hlS body. He was an exceptionally veal thy immigrant. 1t is rarely that such comparatively large sum is shown by any of the Europeans who become
 citizens via Ellis Island and the Barge office.
 One of the last things asked the newly arrived at Ellis Island just be- fore their departure is whether they have any money to be changed. They
 are not compelled to change it, and many refuse for fear of being cheated. Thousands of others avail themselves of the money-changer's service. His booth is at the end of the. long examl- nation room and at the head of the triple flight of stairs leading down to the exit of the building to the boat
 landing. All day long it is scene or
 rushing activity.
 When the immigrants are examined they are asked to show what money they have Some of them are crafty and do not show all they have; others are more trusting and willingly dis play their petty hoardings. The mon | ey is carefully counted, q record taken, | and restored to them.
 During the fiscal year ending June 1 30. 1901. there were landed at this ] port 3SS, 931 immigrants. The money showed to the examiners amounted 10 | S5. .49O,OS0, an average of S14.12. Clas- | sed by nationalities, the French lead all the others with an average or
 S39. .37. The Hebrews stood at the
 foot of the list, bringing on an average
 SS.5S. The Germans followed the l French with an average S31.1 The l o+har nationalities stood in the list as | follows:

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.

Manager Polls latest big vaudeville show at the Jacques scored heavily
 before two large audiences yesterday afternoon and evening, and the yer
 dict was that it Is a fine show. Ed z mond Hayes and his associate play / CTS in "A Wise Guy got, perhaps, the lions share of the applause This
 sketch has always been rated one of the funniest in vaudeville, and it well
 sustains it's reputation. Mir Hayes
 impersonates a piano mover who is < masquerading as a millionaire. and ~the way he orders wine and refresh ments and tips the walters is most flaughable. His work is artistic too
 albeit of the broadest farcical char acter. Lamar and Gabriel two ec- centric comedians, came in for much laughter, too. Gabriel is a very di- minutive midget, but he is bright as gold and funny after the style of Lew iDockstader. to whom he has ire quently been compared They have a conversation act in which the wit flies fast and furious. Other splen- did acts are offered by Oracle Emmet and company. Reidy and Currier. Mile Valesca. H. Y. Fitzgerald. Hayes fand Eileen. and Victor. It is a great show taken In it's entirety. Prices are 10 and 20 cents afternoons. ladies 10; evening prices, 10, 20 and 80 cents.

For the next two months. now that the spring rush is on, all these figures will increase largely. Thousands Of Greeks and Italians are coming. in weekly. Six ships are expected to- day. They will bring in probably 5000 or 5000 immigrants Each of them will add his savings to the wealth of his adopted country New York Evening Post.

Average

The difference between the itallans from the Northern and those from the Southern section of the peninsula as shown i'll the amount of money they bring into the country is marked. The northern Italians are said to make superior class of citizens. Possibly the most surprising fact shown in the table is the high position taken by the Bohemians and Moravians.
 Last month 57.175 immigrants were landed at Ellis Island. They had or at least they showed to the examiners, sums that footed up S811,013 Of the entire number 44,172 had less than S5o each in their possession, and 4,42S nad that sum or over.

GRAND TRUNK INQUEST BEGUN.
Testimony of the Train Dispatcher as to
Orders

Wyoming. Ont. Dec 3e.-The inquest into the
of the death of the victims of the recent &C
cident on the Grand Trunk Railway at Wanstead
was begun here to-day. Dispatcher James Kerr
who sent the train from London. called. kerrs
evidence to the effect that he sent orders to
the Watford and Wyoming operators simultaneous
~ to have the express meet the freight at Wan
stead. Shortly after Wyoming reported to the dis
patcher that the freight was slow in getting out
Kerrs order properly repeated back by both
operators. and Kerr marked it 20. &.
Kerr asked Wyoming why the freight was slow
In getting out, Wyoming replying that he did not
know. Kerr then called Watford and asked If No )
was coming. Watfords reply being Yes Kerr
said min may bust It." Wyoming then reported
the freight pulling out. Kerr said. Let her go
He then called the Watford operator, who reported
No had gone, and that he had busted the
order for No. ;. Kerr then called Wyoming. and
told him to stop the freight. Wyoming answered
Il can't" Kerr said, You must stop her"
Kerr then called Kings Court for seven or eight
minutes before raising that office Kings Court
reported No. had passed In a few minutes Wan
stead called the dispatcher. asking II the trains
to at Wanstead as he had heard a
noise and had from his house thinking there
was trouble. In few minutes Assistant Superin-
tendent Costello who the express train,
called Kerr and asked for the auxiliary to be sent,
collision had occurred.
". ]. Hanna who appeared for Carson. the sta
ton agent at Watford. cross-examined Kerr.
At the afternoon session Kerr was recalled. Sol
icitor Pope of the Grand Trunk put him through
cross exa minaton the subject of the company s
rules for operators and dspatchers. The presence
of Superintendent Costello the wrecked train
did not influence the witness in his conduct. The
fact that trains were running under special
orders relieved the freight of it's obligation to be
five minutes clear of the express at Wdnstead
The witness would not say that the Kings Court
operator James Troyer, was remiss In his duty;
4ndrev Carson the Watford operator, at whose
door is laid the responsibility for the accident by
the Grand Trunk officials. followed Kerr on the the
stand He was pale, but appeared to be cool and
collected. He got the order for the two trains n 10

ATTACKS CIVIL SERVICE RERATING.
E. H. Goodwin Says Municipal Commission S
Method Is Demoralizing.

Elliott u Goodwin secretary Of the Civil Ser
vice Reform Association, yesterday mace puonc a
letter addressed to Mayor Low under Date OF
December 81 The letter follows up the Reform
Associations recent charge of neficiency against
the work being done by the Municipal Civil Service
Commission which charge replied to In fuil oy
the local organization. Mr. Goodwin says that the
cost of conducting examinations has increased, and
in this connection after reciting the facts from the
Reform Association point of view. he says:
We respectfully submit 70 your honor that II
the commission could publish as otnciai ngguIes
above and which moreover. bring about a result
0 %hGh is in er letter should be subjected
to extremely careful scrutiny before they are &C
cepted as final
The Reform, Association objects the local COM
missions methods of handling appeals from the
examiners ratings. II Is asserted by Mr. Goodwin
that in 257 appeals made from ratings in recent
examination for roundsmen IS were granted. and
on reratings Mr.. Goodwins letter says:
The commission admits that there were 81 LAP ag,
I97 granted during the first eleven months OF
rod $3.50 sets of papers were rated There were
3iS cases of appeals from markings in 43 of which
reduced. OF the number raised IS were made eigi-

changed in cases. and the number placed on the
su6rnit that this whole business OF rerating the
municipal service is not only demoraIizng: put also
of appeals which show real injustice done the
candidates is very small
In summing UP. Mr. Goodwin asks for hearing
by the Mayor. and says:
The evidence Convinces us that the cost has been
extravagant: that the departments have been ham
eligible lists from which appointments could be
made within a reasonable time, and we must re-
ueat our assertion. in the belief that 1t has been
proved. that the system OF employing per session
examiners is bad. and must be held accountable
for many of the failures of the commission Fur
thermore. think that this has been practically
admitted by the commission. but In the course OF
a year they have done little to remedy It So far
as concerns the granting of appeals for reratins.
the figures of the commission show that we have
understated the real facts. while as regards con-
structive work we know that old abuses still ex-
