IMMIGRATION GROWS
HEAVIER EVERY YEAR
Enforcement of Laws. However, nsures Better Class o.
AlenS-Numbers Have Become Public Charges

Despite the increasing rigidity of the
immigration laws the influx OF aliens
into the United States Is on the in
crease
The figures showing this condition are
included in the annual report of Frank
p. Sargent. Commissioner General OF
Immigration, made public today.
The class of foreigners. however. is
said to be much higher than that of
other years, owing to the activity of In
spectors IN keeping out undesirable ele-
ments
1t is shown in the report, however.
that there Is a gradual Increase in the
number OF aliens who are In the penal
and charitable Institutions of the United
States. In some OF the States the num-
ber of alien public charges has reached
an alarming number. This is especial
ly true of New York, Pennsylvania.
AIbssac achusetts and Illinois.
Arrivals This Year.
Concerning the immigration for the
year, Commissioner General Sargent
says:
1T appears that during the year there
arrived a2,S10 aliens, OF whom j4y,lOJ
were males and 263, 30 were females, an
increase in the females as compared
with last year of 1880 and "A decrease
in males of g. 0i6
"As respects age. 100 100 were under
fourteen years, 657155 were between
fourteen and forty-hve, ana sc. SIS were
forty-five or over; 1888 could read but
not write. l6S. .9O3 could neither rear nor
write and. IL is presumed, the remainder,
G4O Ola could both read and write
1T also appears that lO3 I50 OF these
aliens had already been In this country.
That 95,575 brought with them $50 or more
each, while 5O1, $50 brought each less than
$50
The total amount of money shown TO
officers by these 612,670 aliens was so, 70
S94. .3S3, or S4.T6.S70 more than was
brought by the S57,O46 arrivals of last
year.
This fac. taken in connection with
the circumstance already referred to as
10 countries from which the increases OF
the year under consideration came, fur
nishes assurance Of a marked improve
ment in the character and thrift OF the
more recent immigration.

Contract LabOTers.
Mr.. Sargent calls attention TO the vio-
/ latiou of the contract law, and says that
Notwithstanding the vigilance of officers
some of this class is creeping in. He
refers especially 20 the slavery of small
Greek boys, and says:
a familiar instance OF the latter class
Is found in the Greek bOotblacking es-
Establishments scattered through our large
cities. operated usually by Greek lads.

M. Goodman, of Minot street. Bos- ton, is showing his friends four legged hen which he purchased in Pittsfeld, Me-, short time ago. So far as known this is the only bird of it's kind in the world.
 "You will notice," said Mir. Goodman to reporter the other morning, "that the tail grows on the right side Of the bird, and yet does not interfere with the use of it's wings.
 1.-TWO of the legs grow in the or dinary manner and support the body. The other two are perfectly normal. except that they grow backward in- stead of downward. and the feet are carried closed most of the time.
 "She weighs three and one-half pounds and was matched on May 6 last" he added, showing the bill Of sale As evidence.
 The bird is of the Rhode Island red variety, and so highly does the owner prize 1t that instead of shipping 1t di- rectly home he kept it with him during four weeks business trip.
 The chicken seems to be in perfect health, and. in the words of the own- er, "she likes to have you watch her. See her strutI"

PARACAMPH CURES
 RHEUMATISM.
 Cost Nothing If it Fails.

Any honest person who suffers with Rheumatism is authorized to go to their druggist today and get a bottle of Para camph, use as directed, and if it fails to do exactly what we claim, go back to their druggist and get their money. Par acarnph is recommended as modern scientific treatment for all Rheumatic Swe1lings and Neuralgia troubles. It re- lieves on Natures plan. That is when applied it opens the pores, penetrates directly to the seat of the ailinent soothing the infaned skin. muscles and joints re- ducingt he swelling by removing the con- gestion, drawing out the fever and inha1n- nation by inducing sweating. It sweats the disease out of the body through the pores of theskin. This is why Para camph is superior to the many internal strong, drastic drugs that upset the stom- ach, shatter the nerves, and undermine the general health. Our guarantee is made to convince you of our faith in Par acatnph. We have of course, tested it's merits thoroughly in many and various cases. We know therefore exactly what it will do. So don't hesitate, but get bottle of Paracamph today, and after two or threeapplications you will be convinced that we claim only for Paracamph exactly what il will do.
 Paracamph is sold only in 25 cent, 50 cent and sI.oo bottles. The larger sizes are cheaper for family use. Write for book of testimonials. The Paracamph i company, Louisville Ky, U. $. 4.
