UNDESIRABLE IMMIGRANTS.
Increase in the Number of Those Who
Are Being DepOrted.

Increase in the Number of Those Who
Are Being DepOrted.
There has been an increase in the num-
Der of undesirable immigrants coming to
this country within the last two months.
In consequence the number of deporta-
tions by the bureau of immigration at
New York port has greatly increased.
Last year 1O11 were deported in May
and June. Since May 1 this year the
number of dep0rtations has been / 742.
The immigration officials have observ-
ed that there are more aged persons
among the immigrants than formerly.
The increase has been especially notice
able within the last two months. The
average Italian, as he natures rapidly,
becomes infrm earlier than most other
races which are sending immigrants to
this country and he is past his prime at
the age of As. Not only is Italy sending
a larger number of immigrants than any
other country, but she is sending a larger
percentage of iliiterate immigrants. More
than half of those who are coming here
are unable to read and write. The immi-
grafton from Italy is now being augment
ed by many persons who have passed the
age of 45. Not only illiterate, but poorly
fitted to earn their living, as they must
by manual labor, they are likely to be-
come public charges.
One of the grounds ON which an immi-
grant may be deported is the danger Of
becoming a public charge. Within the
last eleven months 10,943 persons over 40
years of age have arrived at New York
from Italy OF the 2,223 deported with
in that period on the ground that they
were likely to become public charges,
1881 were Italians. A comparison of
the number of immigrants deported in
May and June of last year and in those
months this year will indicate in some
measure the increase in the number of
aged immigrants. Last year during this
period the number of deportations on this
ground was 81. This year thus far the
number has been 1872.
The reason assigned by some is the I'M
exampled prosperity Of the country, and
a belief in Italy that almost any one can
get work regardless of his physical con-
dition.

Dewey Did It.


The fourth attempt of the Dem ocra tic
leaders to exalt Aguinaldo as a pure
and unselfish patriot is going the way
OF the others. The Patterson plan to
prove Aguinaldo a martyr to the bad
faith o. William Mckinley and Theo-
dore Roosevelt is already in pieces.
In their recent speeches in Congress
the Democratic Senators dwelt for
weeks upon the treachery, duplicity
and broken promises of William Nc
Kinley to Aguinaldo and his associates
in rebellion. They impugned the mo-
tives Of President Roosevelt in contin-
uing to disregard the wishes of a great
national leader who had sacrificed him
self to secure independence of his PEG
pie.
They poured forth scathing denunoia-
lions on the army and navy in the
Philippines on the assumption that Ad-
miral Dewey, acting under the instruc-
tons Of the President of the United
States, had tacitly, if not openly agreed
to the independence Of the Filipinos
and had given promises which had been
broken wantonly when the islands
were annexed to the United States.
Then, to prove all these things, the
Democratic Senators called Admiral
Dewey as their star witness and Ad-
miral Dewey proceeded to demolish
their case. Under his clear, frank, blunt
statement of the facts their effort to

kosh school, one for the training of teach
ers in domestic science at the Stevens
Point school, and one for the training
of teachers in manual training, domestic
science and Kindergarten work at all the
other schools. The Milwaukee school has
enough money to defray the expenses of
this new department. Appropriations for
the other schools were as follows: White

BIG CHICAGO FIRE.
Main Building of Swift & Co.'s Meat
Packing House Destroyed.

Main Building of Swift & Co.'s Meat
Packing House Destroyed.
By fire which broke out in their plant
at the Chicago stock yards Saturday
night, Swift & Co. suffered a loss which
is estimated by the officials of the COM
pany at $1000,O00. The fire was con-
fined to one building standing at the in
tersection of Packers avenue and Broad
way. This structure was four stories
high, built of brick, and was 300. feet
square. The first floor was occupied by
the wholesale meat market Of the COM
pany, the second by the shipping depart
ment, and the third and fourth by the
general offices of the company. The lat
ter are said to have eR-the largest sin
gle offices in the United States, more than
500 employees working on zone of the
floors in a single room.
The cause of the fire is not known, but
it was discovered near the engine room.
It spread so rapidly through the building
that it was found impossible to save any
thing in the structure.
The burned building adjoins portions Of
the plants of Armour & Co., and Libby,
Mcneil & Libby, and for a time the fire
department had a desperate fight to keep
these buildings from the flames. The
wind was blowing strong from the south-
west, and at times the flames We're touch.
ing the side of Armour's building, but. the
firemen managed to confne the fire to the
building in which it had broken out.
There were, it is said, 1925 becves in the
building and great quantities of green
hides and tallow. The general supplies
of the company were stored in the meat
market and in the cellar, and everything
in and abcut the building was destroyed.

logical HcIu'
Judge Tarrant in the Circuit Court at
Milwaukee gave a sweeping decision
against the Lake Geneva Elevated road,
in the quo warranto suit brought by
property owners along the proposed route
of the road in the city. The suit was
brought on the ground that there was no
statute in Wisconsin whereby the city
could grant a franchise to an elevated
road The Lake Geneva road, as 1t IS
known. was incorporated over a year ago
by Clarence S. barrow of Chicago, Isabel
A. Du Bochet of Paris, France; L. n.
Wheeler of Toledo, Jacob \. Bick of To-
ledo and J. L. O'Conner Of Milwaukee.
The capital stock was fixed at $100,000
but this was merely a nominal capitaliZa-
ton. it being stated that plenty of money
would be forthcoming once the franchise
matter was settled.
The proposals for the new Stephenson
library building at Marinette, VIII ch
were considered have been rejected. The
lowest bids were $4,000 more than the
architects estimate, which was not to
exceed Isaac Stephenson's donation Of
$4,000.
Expenses at the nine State charitable
and penal institutions during June as
audited by the State board of control ag-
gregate S59, S2557. This includes about
$500 for a new water power pump at
the State prison and 81 900 paid on new
building and equipment at the home for

A Topsy-TurvY Room.

house from Saturday until Monday.
He was a bachelor. very convivial in
his taste, and we were a very jolly par
ty of men. When we broke up, about
2 o'clock on Sunday morning, one Of
our number, sound asleep on the couch
in the billiard room, was carried ou.
like log by couple Of servants. My
host gave me a solemn wink, and told
me that If a sudden summons came
l was to rush from my bedroom, or
else l might miss a sight worth see
ing. l wanted nothing but sleep-and
was relieved when the summons came
TO find that it was broad daylight.
Yawning, followed the valet. and
found myself with four others, silently
peeping through little holes in wall.
The scene was absurd, ridiculous. A
dazed man, slowly waking to full con-
sciousness, was lying on a plastered
door, looking up in horror at a car
peted ceiling. Two heavy couches, an
easy chair, chairs and table, securely
fastened, stared down at him from
above. The mans eyes at last rested
on a flower pot directly over his head,
from which a flaring rose-apparently
real-was blooming, He gave a cry,
and rolling over grasped with fren-
zied hands the stem Of the chandelier
which came up through the floor. The
host burst into the rooom with a loud
laugh, They all do it, he crieG. They
fear they will fall up to the ceiling"

remedy for catarrhal affections.-J. ID.
Botkin.
This is a case of catarrh Of the stomach
which had run for twenty-five years, ac-
cording to his statement, and Peruna has
at once come to his relief, promptly accom-
plishing for him more benefit than he had
been able to find in all other remedies dur
ing quarter of a century.
1t stands to reason that man of wealth
and influence, like a Congressman of the
great United States, has left no ordinary
means untried and no stone unturned to
find a cure.
If such cures as these do not verify the
claim not only that dyspepsia is due to ca
tarrh of the stomach, but also that Peruna
will cure catarrh of the stomach, it is inn
possible to imagine how any evidence
could do so.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
