A PECULIAR PEOPLE.
Immigrants Bring Over Here Queer
Possessions and JealousIy
Guard Them.

Galveston is increasing In import
ance as a point for bringing in immi-
grants and those who are detailed
to look after the newcomers some
times see peculiar things The immi-
grants themselves look peculiar To
people who have never been on the
other side of the waters. but the
things which the immigrants bring
along with them as alleged yalua-
bies. together with the watchfuiness
with which they guard them. are
even more strange than the immi-
grants themselves. 1t is not unusual
TO see Immigrants land here with
big overcoats in the summer time and
their bundles and their contents
would excite the curiosity of any one
IT Is quite evident that the majority
OF them come here without any idea
OF this country aud they often bring
along things with them which could
have been purchased Oh this side
with trifle,
A striking case of this kind was a
recent occurrence. A Russian Jew
immigrant brought an article along
which he was evidently so much at
tached 10 that he would not separate
with Ii even when being examined
by the immigrant inspector Ii was
nothing less than a big coffee pot
which would perhaps have cost as
much as 5 cents This coffee pot
and the immigrant had been INSOFAR
able during the entire trip across and
he and his coffee pot became a Joke
TO his companions One of the lat
ter took occasion 10 remove his eof-
fee pot while the Russian was being
examined and when the loss was dis
covered the losers gesticulations
would have caused an ordinary on
locker TO believe that he had lost an
invaluable treasure.
1t is a common occurrence to meet
an immigrant With A washtub or a
similar article which has been
brought along With the idea that
such a thing could not be obtained
on this side of the water Galveston

disc. In providing foryour East

this is to be season for Shirt Waist
Suits, Skirts and Jackets. Others who

only what American Women want. We
are receiving garments every day. II
