anders dropped their stroke 10 81 but the
Vespers could not diminish the lead Of
half length which the home crew had
already obtained.

Great Increase in immigration to This
Country in February.
The Famous Shoe for Women.

There were 81 Ill immigrants admitted II
the United States from all countries In
February, 1906 as compared with 1857 for
the same month last year, an increase OF
$3.50. The figures are supplied by the
bureau of immigration of the Department
of Commerce and Labor.
The total coming from Europe in Febru-
airy was 64227. against 81 1913 for February
1904, an increase Of 1894. The total from
Asia in February, 1865 was 1918. against
1925 for the same month last year. an in
crease of 322.
Austria and Hungary took the prize
for numbers In February with a total
of 3o0ss Immigrants sent to the
United States against 6,S34 for the
same month last year, an increase of
23,254. From Italy there came in February
a total of 11.557i against 9,44o for the cor
responding month in 1904, Russia and Fla
land sent us a crowd OF IL 98S.. against 7.O7S
for the same month last year England con-
trbuted nearlys3,O00,. an; increase Of nearly
LOCO over the same month last year, ana
Germany and Norway each sent over more
than 1000.
The influx is startling and is considered
by the bureau of immigration a menace TO
the country In many ways. 1t has been
pointed out that, although there are many
thousands of desirable Immigrants received
every year, the undesirable are in such ma
jority as to seriously affect the question OF
supplying them with employment which Will
enable them to make home here for them
selves better than that they left in Europe.
Congressional action Is desired In order
that the fnfnigration laws may be so
amended as to bar all undesirable persons
and admit only those Of the very highest
desirability The matter will be again

Chief Clerk Chances Reforms in tn
Post Office Building

troll Since taking charge he has cleaned
the glass roof of the city post Office. seen
that the palms and other fine plants have
been regularly watered, had the corridors
kept as neat as the proverbiai new pin and
In many other ways has improved the APP
pearance of the building. The cleaning Of
the glass alone has saved to the govern
ment 100 incandescent electric lamps day
and lessened the consumption of coal by
two tons daily Before the glass was
cleaned most persons thought the glass
roof was some sort of opaque substance,
but whether metal or other material they
could not tell. If they gave it a second
thought The tropical plants were gem
orally supposed to be metal limitations, so
thickly was the dust and dirt iricrusted
upon their fronds. That is all changed and
spirit of activity has come to pervade the
building under orders of the chief clerk
and superintendent and the immediate di-
rection of Captain Campbell chief of the
watch who was brought from the War De-
partment to head the reform brigade after
the accession of Mr.. Chance from the same
department.

an American missionary hospital and dis
pensary was organized and financed The
work done was most successful and called

him to make all the arrangements for the

REMov1Na STAMPS FROM LETTER
The Postmaster General Issues al
Order ha6ting the Statutes.

An order has been issued by the Post
master General that is calculated to put a
stop to the miscellaneous collections of
stamps frofaf envelopes belonging to others
than the recipients.
Numerous complaints have been received
at the Posroficei Department from the pos
tai authorities ofeforeign governments that
stamps have been removed from letters
while In transit in the mails of the United
States. The matter Is of more than ordi-
nary import, such action being violation
of the Revised Statutes. Postmasters are
therefore instructed to report to the ehiee
postofflce inspector any such cases as come
to their attention. and 1t is believed TINT
that depreda lions will be thereby curtailed.
For the special information of all EN-
ployes OF the department the section of the
statutes Is quoted and reads as follows:
ANY person employed In any branch of
the postal service. who shall willfully and
unlawfully remove from any mail matter
Gny postage stHmp affixed thereto In pay
mant OF the postage, shall be punishable by
d fine OF not more than 500. or by impr:san-
ment for not more than six months.

ST. PAUL'S CHURCH.
Lecture By Father Mcdonald We'll
 Attended Last Night.

Despite the indictment weather St. Paul g church was almost filled last night on the occasion of the third lecture in the course being delivered by the mission fa- thers
 The Rev. Father Mcdonald was the speaker and his theme was ''rhe Church. Past and Present." The priest pointed to the church as fact in history that can not be overlooked. The churchs creed, he said, was fixed and absolute. Ask the church for her credentials and she ap- peals to scripture, history and tradition to establish her claims The church, the speaker continued, refers us back to Jesus Christ, who said: Thou art Peter and upon this rock l will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against It." After quoting many other pas sages of scripture, the speaker brought the history of the centuries to bear on the unbroken succession of the Catholic church
 An interesting part of the exercises last night consisted in answers to questions found in the querry box. The subject of the lecture announced for tonight Is. Why the Church Teaches the Necessity of Confession
