Squashed Street Car Hog.

"Yes," said the trolley car conduc-
tor, meditatively, I'VE see many queer
sights in our travels about town.
There is no phase Of human life that
does not manifest itself on our cars.
Your query makes me think OF an in
cident that happened lately. The car
was crowded with late shoppers, all
carrying bundles. Most of the pas.
sengers were women, yet all the men,
but one, were seated. That one was
burly fellow standing crosswise OF
the car, with elbows out, reading a
paper. On both sides of him were
women, who were much disturbed
over his position. His right elbow
was jammed hard against one WON
ans shoulder, and when the car
lurched it hurt her. Finally, grabbing
the fellow by both arms, she swung
him around straight with the remark:
There! If you'll turn this way
you will have more room and every
one else, tool! Now that's what | call
spunk. Brooklyn Eagle.

Where the System Thrives.

Where the System Thrives.
The "padrone system" thrives Duch
more luXuriantly in certain inland cit
les, especially Chicago and Pittsburg,
than in New York. Dealers in the me-
tropolis forward the boys to the West
as fast as they arrive, and. on delivery
at their destinations, they are sorted
out and bought and sold like any 9th
err merchandise. In some cases the
slave merchant, who does western
trade, resides in New York and dis
poses of the children, at SO many
dollars apiece, wherever they may be
demand for them. An Italian or
Greek boy, of suitable age, is always a
marketable article.
The industry, however, bids fair to
lose much of its prosperity by reason
of the stringent measures for its sup
preston, which have been adopted
recently by the immigration bureau.
Everything possible is being done to
put a stop to it. Boys who arrive
tagged for Pittsburg or Chicago are
especially under suspicion, and every
Greek or Italian youngster who can

promptly deported. This course O.
procedure on the part of the govern
ment is costing the "padroni" much
money, and great is the grooming and
gnashing of teeth thereat.
The department of commerce and
labor does everything in its power to
protect the immigrants. They number
about 100000 per annum, at the pres.
ent rate of admission, and the chill
dren represent an important fraction
of the whole number. Two hundred
thousand of the aliens who landed on
these shores during the fiscal year
ended June 30 were under IA years of
age. Sixty-five thousand were under
6 years, and $4,000 were under years.
The babies in arms alone were null

newly built a roof garden at Ellis

mothers are allowed to enjoy the cool

Sweet Potato Pie.

A famous recipe for sweet potato pie
will be welcomed by eXiles from the
south. Have a pound, or, in bulk, a
pint, of boiled sweet potatoes. Mash
or rub through a colander and add
three quarters of a pound each of but
ter and sugar which has been well
creamed. Beat six eggs lightly and
add to the mixture. Flavor with nut
meg, the juice and grated rind of a
lemon, and a small glass of good bran
dy. Line a deep pie plate with pastry,
and pour in the sweet potato mixture.
1t is customary to sprinkle the pie
with fine sugar and tiny dots of citron
when it is taken from the oven.

Awhile Slave Traffic s
E~..-~ar-..a
Especial Correspondence.)

The government is extending its
mighty hand to throttle a nefarious
business which has been thriving for
some years past under the very noses
of the authorities. 1t is an old in
dustry, revived from time to time
utilizing the immigration service for
the virtual enslavement of multitudes
of white children of foreign parentage
The scheme in question has long
been known as the "padrone SYSTEM
and, in simple terms, consists of an
arrangement by which great numbers
of little boys are purchased in Italy
and Greece, and imported into this
country to work as bootblacks. ped
dlers, newspaper vendors, beggars, or
what not, under the taskmasters who
take from them all of their earnings,
giving them only in return a wretched
subsistence, and often treating them
cruelty. These children. after their
arrival in the land of the free" are
bought and sold with just about as
much regard for their feelings or
wishes as if they were dogs or cats.
The price of small boy in southern
Italy or in Greece is from $25 to $50.
Sometimes they may be obtained for
as little as $40. Children are plentiful
over there, and the poverty stricken
parents are not unwilling to allow
their young sons to so to America-a
wonderful country, where, as they
have heard, wages are phenomenally
high and riches easily acquired. Pass
age on the steamship will be paid, and
the cash received is so much bonus.
So the buyer collects consignment
of boys without much trouble. He
prefers that they shall be not more
than nine or ten years of age, for
reasons which will presently appear.
The shipment of them is the only diff
ficulty, because they cannot be sent
in bunch. lest the suspicious of our
immigration authorities be aroused.
They have to be sent over by ones and
twos, accompanying adults, to whom
they usually claim relationship, and it
is necessary to coach them carefully
in the answers they are to give to
questions which are sure to be asked
when they reach Ellis Island. If they
fail in giving the proper replies. they
are liable to be sent back, and the
Spectator loses the money he has
invested.

run away from their masters, the
answer is simply that most of them
are so young as to need to be taken
care of. Ignorant Of our institutions
and language, they do not feel able to
look out for themselves amid the tur-
MOL of a city. So long as they remain
with the "padrone," they are sure, at
all events, of food to eat and home
heaven save the mark-to go to. If
they took their affairs into their own
hands they might starve; and, be-
sides, their owner might catch them
and beat them.
Nevertheless, when these slave
children have reached the age of IA
or Is, they usually do run away and
start in business of some kind for
themselves. And this is precisely why
the "padroni" prefer to PIT. chase boys
who are not over 9 or 10, and who may
be counted on for at les>st three or
four years of obed.ent ssrvice. or
course the supply has to be kept up by
constant fresh impor;ations, and some
thousands of luckless youngsters have
been delivered annually c. this side
of the water, destined for buch servi-
tude, for long time past.

nearest approach the town had had,

cratic citizens was to allude vaguely

Walker was exclusive. He spake to

him for the haughtiness of which it
boosted. Very little was known of
Mr.. Walker. The servants, brought
from London, were creatures of rigid
stateliness and never came to the

wrote the history of Mr.. Walker to

Buyers Make Trips Abroad.

The importer of these human chat
tells sometimes does his own buying,
making visits once or twice year to
Italy. or Greece, for that purpose. But,
however this part of the business may
be managed, the system on this side
of the water is always pretty much
the same. The ''padrone" (master),
who owns the boys by right of pur-
chase either rents them out to minor
bosses, at so much head, or else
puts them to work on his own account
at peddling, backing boots, or what
ever employment may offer the best
expectation Of profit. In either case
he pays them their wages-50 cents
or 81 a week-and provides them with
meals and lodgings.
AS might be imagined, the board
and accommodations furnished to the
unfortunate little slaves are extremely
wretched. The food they get barely
suffices to keep body and soul to-
gether and commonly they are obliged
to sleep on the floor, 20 or 80 of them
in a room. 1t is not surprising that
their proprietors make money rapidly.
Many of the Italian banks in New
York, Chicago and other cities are
owned by men who were formerly
"padroni," and some of them are still
in the business.

"Potatoes the Finest I Ever Saw"
Owing to the great amount Of in.
terest that is being taken in Western
Canada, it is well to be informed OF
some Of the facts that are bringing
about the great emigration from por-
tons OR the United States.
The Canadian govern ment has au-

the facts related in the following may
be corroborated on application. At the
same time they will be able to quote
you rates, and give you certificates en-
titling you to low rates on the differ
ent lines of railway. The following
letter copied from the North Bend
(Neb.) Eagle is an unsolicited testi-
monal, and the experience of Mr..
Auten is that of hundreds OF other
Americans who have made Canada
their home during the past seven or
eight years:

to know how we have progressed this
year in the Canadian Northwest. We
have no complaint TO offer. We have
had good year, crops were good and
we have had delightful season.

of grain. My oats made IS bushels
per acre and weighed 421s pounds per
bushel. My wheat made 311s bushels
per acre and is No. l quality. My
barley made about 30 bushels Of good
quality. My crop is fair average OF
the crops in the Edmonton district.
"All crops were good here this sea-
son. Potatoes the finest l ever saw,
and all vegetables adapted to the cli-
mate. We have had very fine fall,
but no exception to the rule. as the
fall season is, think. the most pleas
ant of the year. We have had no
snow yet Nov. 81. and have been
blowing and working the land prepar-
ing for an early seeding next spring.
Last night the mercury dropped lower
than any previous night this fall and
this morning there is crust of frost
on the fields sufficient to prevent field
work. No doubt many would imagine
that Alberta had put on her winter
overcoat before this and that the peo-
pie were wrapped in furs, but it is
only a question Of time when this
country will not be looked upon as an
iceberg. but country fit for the best
of mankind to live In.
1--WE are now assured OF a trans
continental railway. which is to be
built to the Pacific during the next
five years. The Canadian Northern
road is graded to within seventy-fve
miles of Edmonton. 1t comes from
Winnipeg, and will reach us next sum-
mer, so with one railroad already at
hand, the second to reach us in less
than a year, and the third to penetrate
our city and open up this country to
the west across the Rockies to the
coast within FIVE years, we surely have
reason to believe that the country u
