The costumer's art has been ,avishly
drawn upon for Charles 3. Hanford S
production of Richard III and The Mer
chant of Venus. The ladies of the com
pany all appear in the most delicate bro
cades and the gentlemen in the elegance
in which the EliZabethian period revelled.
AS a series of stage pictures alone, the
production promises rare interest, and adj
ded TO this is the charm OF a carefully
selected company. Magnificent as the cos
tunes are. they have not been allowed
TO transcend in Importance the people
who wear them. So unvaryingly excellent
has been Mr. Hanfords work that he is
hailed with confidence whether he is to
produce new play or tread the boards in
scenes whose familiarity only endears
them the more from season to season.
Miss Marie Drofnah. the leading lady
of the company. has been accorded a
firm place in the affections of theater-
goers. her work fully warranting the be-
stowal of full credit upon her for respon-
sibilities she has hitherto assumed on
numerous occasions with splendid ability.

The play is mounted in the most gor-
geous manner, no expense being withheld
to make it realistic and consistent in
every detail.
The notable successes achieved by Mr..
Jules hurry. of New York, as theatre
cal manager are due to the fact that every
detail of every play presented under his
direction is the product of the most care
full study. Only those who are best fitted
are selected for the roles in the casts,
and the mechanical effects are arranged
with equal fidelity to the requirements of
the piece. To make it known, therefore,

Most Of the Italians now hocking
here come from southern Italy and
the Island Of Sicily. AS rule, they
do not bring their women with them
which would lead one to the surmise
that they are coming over only for
a temporary residence; that after
they have picked up the proverbial
gold in our streets they win return
TO the girls they left behind. The
proportion of men to women among
the Italian immigrants is four to
one.
The women immigrants among the
Irish outnumber the men; in the
nine months from June, 1902, to
March, 1908, inclusive, the number OF
Irish women coming to this country
was 9,745, and the number OF men
7,1s5., With the exception of Italy,
Ireland and Japan, the different ma
tons sending us immigrants usually
send about half as many women as
men. The ratio of Japanese men To
japanese women arrivals is about that
of the Italians, four to one.

IMMIGRANTS LANDING AT NEW YORK.

recent number of the Century Maya
zine) their reasons for considering this
new influx by no means wholly unde-
sirable.
They acknowledge that the new i'm
migrants are shabby and ignorant, but
affirm that the ignorance is due to lack
of education and not to lack of intelli-
gence; and that the children of these
immigrants, our future Americans,
need not be Handicapped by their par
ents' lack of opportunity. Give them
the benefit of the education offered in
the United States to one and all, and
they may add to, not be a drag on,
our progress. Mr. Michaud tells us we
need the artistic temperament of the
Mediterranean race"-our Italian
friends-and that the "Alpine race
the Russians and stro-Hungarians-
that are pouring into our country will
influence us for good; in the matter of
stronger family ties, family affection
being marked Characteristic of these
people; in more simplicity of life, these
folk not being given to mad pursuit
to both of which the American of to-
day is supposed to be prone. Which
encouragement, coming from such a
worthy source, should lessen the fears
engendered by SURVEY of our immi-
grafton statistics.
But the ethnologist agrees that the
presence in our midst of these many
Italians, Russians and -Hunga-
rains will result in some disadvantages.
Disadvantages both physical and men
tai. We shall decrease in stature. the
average height of the Alpine and Medi-
terranean races being below that of
the worlds other race, the Baltic, from
which formerly the mass of our immi-
grants was drawn. And perhaps there
will be conspicuous decline Of that
enterprising spirit which has been
called American push.
The coming in of the great crowd of
Jews-they constitute IA per cent. Of
the immigrants now entering the
United States-seems perhaps the
most problematical part of this ques-
ton; for they are supposed to abhor
and avoid all agricultural work, and
therefore add to the congested popula-
ton of our cities. In this matter the
east is more troubled than the west,
for the following is the local distribu-
ton of the Jewish invaders, according
to government figures: roper cent. be-
come residents of New York, nine per
cent. settle in Pennsylvania, seven per
cent. in Massachusetts, three per cent.
in Illinois, three per cent. in New Jer-
sey, two per cent in Maryland and one
per cent. in Ohio.
1t is estimated that during 1903 more
than twice as many Hebrews as are
now in the Holy Land will land at New
York, the majority of them paupers.
Prosecutions in the lands they have
left, it is declared, are carried on with
the eold-blooded purpose of Kidding
those lands of the Jews. Russia will
