tive Steps Toward it.

A meeting of the hospital directors
was held at the Office of w. G. Shep-
pard, on High avenue east, on Friday
evening and fair representation Of
the board were present. A step to-
ward activity was made by the start

$4,000 being subscribed, one-third of
the pledged amount payable in ten
days, one-third at the end of sixty
days and the last one-third in 120
days from the completion of the can
Vass.

This is the initial step toward the
securing of definite action looking to-
ward the building of the hospital and

IMMleRATIoNs HIGH MARK.

1t is plain that the immigration of
1903 will pass all former records. In
1882 it reached 1892. This was the
crest of the wave for that cycle. I'm
migration has been going up for sew
eral years, melted by the prosperity
which the republicans brought when
their resumption of specie payments
act went into operation at the begin
ming of 1879. After 1882 it declin-
ed for several years, and then it be-
gan to rise again, reaching its high
est in 1892, with total Of 623,OS4.
The democratic panic of 1893 sent it
downward again, but the republicans
checked the decline when they en-
tered power in 1897 and since 1898
there has been a steady increase.
In 1902 the inflow of settlers to the
United States from abroad was 64S,753
for the fiscal year. This was a higher
mark than had been touched in the
whole history of the country in any one
year except in 1882. But the months
since the close of the fiscal year last

TIE PANAMA CANAL.

The superior borrowing power is

French company had to give up for
lack of ability to get the necessary
capital, and the American Nicaragua
Company had to abandon operations
for like reason" says writer in the
American Monthly for April. 1.-THE
Panama Canal will cost the United
States nothing more than an annual in,
terest charge of possibly 100000
The more quickly the work is pushed
to completion, the sooner this charge
on the Treasury will be met in whole
or in part by the earnings of the canal
as productive investment. The Suez

FREE ADVICE TO WOMEN.

June have shown heavy gains over
those OF the preceding year. The
gains continue. The total for the cal
endar ear 1902 was but little below
the mark for the fiscal year two de-
cades earlier. The present fiscal year
will make a gain over that of 1882.
Last Saturday 1869 immigrants land
ed in New York which was the high
est record ever made for a single day
in the history of that port Every
month in the present calendar year
shows a gain over the same time in
1902.
Of course, the business conditions
of the country are chiefly responsible
for the heavy inflow of settlers. Twen-
ty or thirty years ago the bad times
abroad helped the good times in this
country in attracting immigrants to this
side of the water. In recent years
the times in Europe have not been so
bad as they often were formerly. New
ertheless, the attractions of the Unit
States still continue dominant. The
inflow nowadays is chiefly from east
ern and southeastern Europe. The
countries which furnished the most of
the immigrants a score of years ago
and earlier-Germany, Ireland, Eng
land and the Scandinavian nations
have been contributing the majority of
lively few new citizens recently, while
Italy, Russia, and Austria-Hungary
have ben contributing the majority of
them. While the republican prosper
ity lasts, however, there will be room
enough for all the newcomers.
