Rev. Reignold *. Marvin, who received
last week a call to become pastor of the
Universalist church in Franklin, Mass,
has this week sent his resignation to the
trustees of the Brattleboro Universalist
church, of which he has been pastor
since May, 1899. He asks that it take
effect Dec. 81 The trustees will meet
next Tuesday evening, when they will
take action on the resignation.
The call to Franklin is particularly at
tractive as it presents an unusual oppor-
tunity for work among young people.
The church there is endowed, and is on
the grounds of Dean academy, the Uni
Versalist school, and 100 or more students
N addition to those who are residents of
the town are regular attendants at the
Universaist church. Mr.. Marvin came
to Brattleboro in 1899, having received a
call here before he had completed his
studies in the theological department at
Tufts. He graduated from the Tufts
academic department in 1896. In his work
in the pulpit and in his pastoral duties
Mr.. Marvin has demonstrated his eX-
ceptional fitness for his calling, and there
will be a general regret both in the Uni
versalst society and in the community
at large. over the announcement of his
proposed departure.

$4,000 Foreigners in Our JalIs and chari-
table Institutions.

Some astonishing facts in regard to un-
pleasant features of immigration to the
United States are contained in the an
nual report of Commissioner General Sar-
gent, made public Monday. The report
tells of wholesale frauds in the issuance
of naturalization papers to aliens who
make improper use of the documents in
their native countries. There is sig
nificant chapter on the subject of GRIM
inal and diseased aliens supported in state
institutions, from Which it appears that
New York is carrying by far the biggest
burden of this kind of all the states.
When the special agents of the immi-
grafton bureau completed their canvass Of
the various penal reformatory and char
table institutions of the United States,
1t was found that 44,9S5 foreigners were
being supported or confined at the ex-
pense of state governments. An exam
ination of the causes of confinement dis
closes the significant fact that of the total
of A. 9S5 nearly one-half, or 20,4S5 are
insane, while the criminals number 1926,
consisting of 4l24 grave offenders and
| 5701 whose offenses are petty. The re-
naming 14,675 are dependents from va
rious causes The 10000 odd insane are
| virtually all burdens for life. There are
! about 5000 other aliens, who must be sup
| ported for life at the expense of the tax
payers because the serious nature of theil
| crimes has led to the imposition of vir-
| tual life sentences.
More than half of the aliens detained
I'm the penal, charitable and insane in
stitutions of the country are taken care o.
by New York, Pennsylvania, Massachu
sets and Illinois.
