The Park Theater has one of its smart
est contributors during the latter half of
the week in Howard Hall, author, actor
and manager. He and his company are pre-
senting his melodrama, ''The Man Who
Dared, in which they were seen last sea-
son at this theater. The scenes of the
play are in Paris and it's story is of man
whose wife. having placed her affection
elsewhere, is DESTROYS of numbering him.
After she has made a futile attempt on
his life his twin brother, returning rich
from the African diamond fields, is killed
in a runaway just outside the door of the
family's house in Paris. The living brother
lets 1t be thought that he is the one from
Africa and that the dead man was the
husband of the murderous woman. She and
her fellow-conspirator go on serenity, until
her supposed brother-in-law is satisfied of
their treachery and brushes them with his
vengeance. He is coolly cynical and in
the third act, the scene of which is a.
garden at Monte Carlo. he enters den of
lions TO get the wicked woman's glove. The
lions are very interesting, but hardly more
so than Mr.. Hall and the leading actress
of his company, Miss Nina Morris. Mr..
Hall is tall and 1.-the and Miss Morris is
handsome and intense. The rest of the
company is capable. the stage settings elab-
crate. The play and the acting are above
the average of intelligence exhibited on
the stages of the low-priced theaters.

A. ". BUTLER'S FIGURES
SMALL PER CENT. OF FOREIGN I'M
MIGRATION TO INDIANA.
Foreigners That Reach This State Are
Mainly from Southeastern Eu-
rOpe-Their Occupations.

Amos w. Butler, secretary of Board of
State Charities, has prepared a report.
showing the foreign immigration to In
diana. The report follows:
Indiana is sometimes called the typical
American State. Possibly by this Is meant
that comparatively small number of for
eigners are coming to it to make it their
home. The last report of the commissioner
general of immgra ton shows Indiana in
striking contrast with some of our sur
rounding States. OF the large number of
immigrants who arrived in this country
last year. the destination of 14,75S is given
as Michigan, 1886 as Ohio, 5S45 as Illinois
and Indiana but 1901. This, however is so
per cent: more than the number that came
to our State two years ago. While the to-
tai of those admitted to the United States
has increased from 562, sos in 1901 to $50, 1875
in 1902, gain of 167,9SO, the number of those
creased from 1850 in 1900 and 2,278 in 1901,
to 1901 for 1902 Classified by races of those
coming to this State, the largest number
from any country are Poles, of whom there
were AIS. The Germans come next, 40. and
the Magyars follow with 413. The next larg-
est number are Slovaks. PSI, and following
number of PIP. The Croatians and Sloven-
ians, Italians, Roumanians and Syrians
form quite considerable number of the
remainder.
Thus it will be seen that the bulk of the
immigrants that come into our State are
of those races from southeastern Europe
and the shores of the Mediterranean. This
Is true also in a large degree of all who
come to this country. The largest number
of north Europeans who destined to
Indiana are Germans, as above noted; next
are Dutch and Flemish. OF these there were
212; of English but 6S, French 81. The Ger
mans, as noted, stand third in the list, Irish
49, Scandinavian 40, Scotch IL.
The occupations of those who were
destined for Indiana is interesting-1,342
were reported as laborers, 337 as farm la
torers, 176 as personal and domestic serv-
ants, 81 Gncluding women and children)
are reported with no occupation, 80 are
given as skilled tradesmen, % of which
are not specified. 81 are reported as miners,
40 carpenters and joiners, 129 black
smiths, IL bakers, 20 painters and GLACIERS,
16 shoemakers, IL stone cutters, 10 tailors
