touching She made daily visits to the
Jail, giving what comfort she could to
her life partner. The wife stoutly main
tains her husbands innocence. Her de-
votion and ladylike demeanor have
won friends for her, and it is through
their efforts she will be able to go to
New York When informed of this fact
this morning by Chief of Police Hodg-
kins her face lighted up with the first
smile of happiness since her husband
arrest, g
Detective Brown says Wheaton was
considered among the very best ac-
countants of New York.

A CHARACTER FACTORY
OF NEW ENGLAND

There is school in Springfield,
Mass, whose business it is to train
young men and women of foreign
birth or parentage for intelligent
American citizenship. It is a small
school and feeble, whose slogan is not
chanted by throngs of friends on ath-
letic fields or at alumni banquets,
whose name is unknown outside of the
little round of it's immediate activity.
But to every American of the old stock
who holds his country dear the
French-American college must be an
object of interest. 1t is an effort to
develop a force which shall help to
save New England to herself, to pre-
serve the old type of civilization now
so vigorously threatened by the con-
stantly rising tide of immigration.
The lack of work for the students is
a serious matter. For this is a poor
mans college, and most of the stu
dents work out considerable part Of
their expenses. The boys take care of
the buildings and grounds and the
girls work in the women's hall, help
about the cooking. and serve in the
dining-room. There is printing Of
flee which furnishes most of the work
for the young men. The college pub
fishes the French American Citizen, a
sixteen-page weekly paper on which
the students do all the work except the
printing, for they have no press.
Every boys learns the printers trade.
A schedule Is made out each week and
posted on the bulletin board showing
the amount of type each must set.
There is a regular form of contract
which each student signs at entrance.
1t sets forth just what his expenses
will be for the year (the average is
less than $500. and he states the
amount he is prepared to pay in cash.
The rest he pays in manual labor and
the college frankly declares that mas
much as labor is not worth so much to
it as money, he will be required to
work 20 per cent more than he is
charged in cash.-Collier's Weekly.

DUMPING CRIMINALS
INfO THE UNITED STATES
Police of Europe Systematically Rid
ding Themselves OF Undesirable
Characters.

Now. all of this goes to prove one OF
the most important facts in connection
with Italian emigration; that the ques
tor of each district is slowly and effect
ually clearing the district of its crimi-
nal class by dumping the lot into North
and South America, the most danger
Gus coming to the United States as the
best field for their future operations
Here is the syllogism:
Since American police records and
prison statistics, especially those Of the
United States secret service, show large
and increasing numbers of Italian
criminals in this country. q
And since the mass of these can en-
ter only by immigration.
And since the emigrant must have
passport from the chief Of his local
police district.
And since every criminals record is
kept in the district in which he was
born, and he must so there TO get the
birth certificate, on which he gets his
passport.
Then these thousands of passports
issued annually to criminals are given
by Chiefs of Police who know the rec
ords of the men who are receiving
them and are thus deliberately rid
ding their districts Of them to save
themselves trouble and increase their
reputation for Efficiency.
( That those secret instructions which
are issued from Rome to the chief Of
each district advise any such procedure
do not believe They do advise, so 1
have bsen reliably informed, that pass
ports be not issued to prostitutes easy
of detection or to persons over As, in
asmuch as both classes are very nearly
sure to be turned back and to become
a matter of expense to the Government.
That is the bugahoo Of Italian states
