We NuMeER MANY PEOPLES
Interesting Figures About Immigra-
tion and the Countries
Contributing.

A recent consular report gives inter-
esting immigration figures From 1918
TO 103-S5 years-the number Of immi-
grants was 2l.265.7 .723. or the equivalent
OF one-fourth OF the total population to-
day. OF All this number the Unit
ed Kingdom. which includes the
heavy Irish inflow, contributed 80 per
cent; Germany contributed "a per
cent; Austria-Hungary, Italy, Russia
and Poland furnished 2l per cent, But
these last named countries in 1903 fur
nished So per cent. Of the immigration.
Europe has sent US SO per cent. Of our
immigration, the western hemisphere
4is per cent. and China and all other
Asiatic countries. Oceanica and Africa,
2iA per cent The heaviest immigration
Of Irish in one year was in 1853. when
i62,di9 came The next largest from
Ireland was in 1858. when 1888 came
Last year only $500 Irish came. The
highest figures for the English were
S2,39i IN 1852 In 1854 2t5, ,009 Germans
came and in 1859 250.Gs0. From 1866 10

10000 mark Ia 1900 and what numbers
they may attain can only be guessed AZ,
for the tide Is running high and chiefly

Last year the Russian immigration

young Parker was not slow in asserting
his rights.
At the time he attended the academy
in Cortland one of the town characters
was a Methodist minister of the name
of Bridgeman, who was never known to
give an inch Of the road when driving.
One day Parker and two companions
were out for stroll, and, sidewalks being
few in Cortland and mud plentiful, they
took to the beaten track in the middle Of
the road
Pretty soon the preacher came bearing
down upon them. The boys naturally
expected that he would give some so
they clung to the edge of the roadway.
But the minister pulled not to the right
by so much as an inch, and Alton Parker
jumped just in time to escape being
driven upon But as he jumped into the
mud he seized the horse by the Bride
led him to the old board fence nearby,
and, despite the unministerial protests of
the buggy's occupant. calmly tied the
animal to the fence and walked on.
One of the boys who witnessed this in
cident was Joseph E. Eggleston, now
surrogate Of Cortland county, and he
says that If he is ever called upon to de-
fend, in the court of appeals of New
York, of which Alton B. Parker is chief
Judge, the right Of the pedestrian to the
proper use of the highway, he shall cite
with confidence the case of Parker VS..
Bridgeman.
