TROUBLE WITH
HIS EMPLOYE.
LambertsOn is Building a House
With Help of One
Man.
IN POLICE COURT

John Lnmbertson is BUILDING a
house for himself at Washington and
Mechanic streets, and thereby hangs
n tale. He is doing the entire con-
struction with tho help of Majik
Novoik, who performs the heavier
! work.
Novoik, yesterday, reported for
work somewhat under tho influence
of liquor. He was after his pay.
What he wanted, it appears, was not
forthcoming as readily as he desired,
and there arose q difference of opinion
betwixt HIM and his erstwhile en-
ployer.
1t Is alleged that tho assistant be-
came slightly abusive. Lambertson
ordered him to leave. There was
nothing doing, however, and Lam
bertson got an idea tnat something
stronger than moral suaslon was
necessary. He started, it is declared,
to apply what he considered the prop
er remedy. Novoik sought a cure for
his wounded feelings at police head
CHARTERS. He did not make a formal
complaint, at this visit, which took
place shortly after l O'Clock yesterday
afternoon.
He returned to the scene of action
and there was more trouble. He had,
by this time, worked himself up to
the bursting point. Lambertson order
ed him, for the second time, to leave.
He. refused, it is declared, and Lam
bertson tried to eject him. The work
man then, according to Lamberston's
statement, picked up "a inch lead
pipe, or thereabouts, and threw it in
the direction of Lambertson's
Uranium. 1t went wide of the mark,
but Lambertson, now thoroughly
aroused, picked up the pipe, it is said,
and swatted Novoik over tho head.
Both men started for police head
quarters. Chief Burke heard both
sides of the story.
The wounded workman, with h"ld
all bound up, engaged J. E. Stricken.
The latter drew up q complaint
against Lambertson, and a hearing in
the case is being held this afternoon.

POOR HUMAN STOCK.
MUCH OF 1T COMING INTO THE
UNITED STATES FROM ABROAD.
Will Have the Effect Of Lowering
the Quality of Our National
Blood = Significant
Statistics.

The factsfand figures cited by Repre-
sentative Adams, of Pennsylvania. the
other day, in introducing his bill for tho
regulation Of Immigration, startlingly
indicate the extent to which this nation
is-to use a convenient live stock phrase
being underbred, says the New York
Tribune. We have hitherto often re-
marked upon the circumstance that far
less attention is paid to the right Gull
ture of the human race than that of
animals. Here is further indication of
1t. Some countries have strict laws reg
ulating the importation of horses and
cattle for breeding purposes, encourag-
ing the importation of the best strains.
Owners of horses, cattle, sheep. swine
and dogs pay much attention to the mat
ter, seeking to improve their stock by
the admixture of superior strains and
carefully avoiding the contamination of
lower grades. Surely man is better than
beasts, and the nation is of more i'm
portance than the stable or the sty. Ye'
here we are letting in a flood of the
poorest and lowest human stock in the
WOTIu 10 IdlHl anu DIStu uOWn Jul ia
tional blood.
In the last fiscal year, according to
the official figures quoted by Mr.. Adams,
there arrived at American ports 857 ,046
immigrants. Of these 1856 ,667 were IL
literate, being unable either to read or
to write, and ell 1902 had less than $50
each. That is to say, more than one
fifth of them were illiterate, and about
three-fourths of them were on the very
verge of pauperismS 1t is TO be noted,
however, that there are great differences
among the immigrants from different
countries. From some countries there
is a great proportion both illiterate and
impecunious. From some they are poor
in money, but not illiterate, and from
some they are both educated and pro-
vided with means. Here are some OF the
worst:

Edwin Arnold as Editor.

Sir Edwin Arnold was perhaps the
most suave man who ever paced Fleet
street. His correspondence must have
been enormous, but 1t never seemed a
tax. He hailed a contribution from an
acquaintance with thanks on one day,
begged forgiveness on the next for a
days inevitable delay in publication,
and on the third offered bis eongratu-
lations. At first sight people Thought
the friendly manneE loo good to be
true, but Arnold proved true ION long
trial. II am a nightly journalist" he
once said, and one knew he took pride
in the ambiguous sound of the might
ly." A proper knight of the pen was
he.-London Chronicle. !
