Chaotic Naturalization Laws.
From the New York Herald.


The number Of bills introduced in Con-
gress to regulate immigration and the
naturalization Of aliens attests the present
widespread popular interest in these sub
Jects. In his convincing report upon the
subject Secretary Hay points out that our
existing system of naturalization is for the
most part grounded on the law passed in
1902 1t needs no argument to show that a
system applicable when the population was
little more than five millions and immi-
grants were counted by hundreds does not
meet the existing conditions created by the
arrival of more than 500, 900 immigrants
every year AS nearly all courts of record,
state and federal, have power to naturalize
aliens, there are about 5000 separate and
distinct tribunals engaged in constituting the
naturalization laws and granting certif-
Gates There is no uniformity in the pro-
ceedings or Investigations TO fitness. No
two courts have certificates identical in APP
pearafce and wording, those issued by the
federal courts differing almost widely
in these respects as certificates issued by
the state courts.

Aluminium
Cooking Utensils.

We are now demonstrating the
superior merits of Aluminium Cook
ing Utensils. Experienced house
wives are fitting up their kitchens
with these Utensils instead of En-
ameled Ware, as they find this ware
does the work better, lasts longer
and is free from the danger of chip
ping and getting particles into the
food. You can boil milk without
scorchlng; you can put teakettle
full of water on the stove and let
it burn dry and stay so indefinitely
without injury to the kettle. The
cake griddles do not have 10 be
creased, which is boon to those
who cannot eat greasy griddle cakes.
These Utensils are ideal and they
are reasonably priced.
25c. to $500 each.
NOTE.-We will demonstrate
