DEFENDS HENRY IRVING.
stephen Coieridge Denies That Actor .. Asked for knighthOOd.


 London, Oct. 23.-The assertion made by George Bernard Shaw. in recent article, published by The Neue Freie Presse of Vienna, that Sir Henry Irv- ing importuned the court to confer Knighthood upon him, has provoked an Interesting denial from the Hon. Steph- en Coleridge, the artist and author, and son of the Lord Chief Justice Coleridge, who, as a friend for thirty years of the dead actor, has written long let ter to The Neue Freie Presse asking 10 be allowed to deny on the authority of his personal knowledge that Henry Irving solicited anybody, at any time or place, for knigthood.
 Mir Coleridge says that he asked his father to broach the matter to Premier Gladstone in 1883, when Mir. Gladstone said that before making the sugges- tion to Queen Victoria, it was essential to know if MT. Irving would accept the honor. MT. Coleridge then quotes from his diary the result of an interview with the actor on the subject, from which it appears that Irving, while grateful for the proposed honor, de- clined 1t on the ground that "as his strength as a manager and ms power as an actor lay more in the suffrages the patronage of great people, he knew instinctively that large numbers of these same plain folk would be of- tended at their simple Henry Irving accepting a decoration of a tltular kind"
 When. however, in 1895 Queen Vic toria, on the advice of Lord Rosebery, offered knighthood to Irving. the actor was confronted by the great delicacy of risking an offense to the Queen by a refusal.
 .But." says MT. Coleridge, the fact that to the end of his life he appeared on the play bills as plain Henry Irving. shows that his opinions remained un- changed"
 Mir. Coleridge concludes by express ing the opinion that Economically in cIined millionairesses who placed large sums of money at Irving's disposal, are the creation of MT. Shaw's "fecund irnagination."

New York. Oct. 21.--The man rom Georgia stood near one of the pens a, the migrant station on Ellis isiahu watching the shifting hordes Of aliens.

Jews. bent ana bearded from the Ghettos or Russian towns. while Sicily, -1ithuania, Hungary and Spain had all contributed tneir quo tas. Thousands of prospective Amer lean citizens had arrived. ana oncie Sam's inspectors were busy sortins them out and ejecting those that did not meet with the requirements, while on beyond the towering bulk of Liberty, gazing toward the Narrows, two more steamships. he aviiy laden, could be seen sweeping up the bay. The man rom Georgia, his broad-brimmed hat thrust back upon his head. his hands Tn ms trousers pockets stared with eager in- terest at the busy scenes. whatever the min Is or morals of the newcomers. they unquestionably displayed healthy broadness of shoulder. and the man from Georgia, observing them, said:
 We need them. we need them all. Down Georgia way we want all these husky fellows we can get to show our blacks how to work. I've got farm down there. where my cottcn and corr stretch as far as you can See, sir. and we can get all the land we want. but what we need Is men to work 1t. We need the aliens."
 That is the cry, not only Of the South, but of the great West, and the coal. iron and steel districts of the middle of the country. Certainly it is not the cry of New York City. whose hundreds of thousands of aliens are huddled to- gether In the slums and combine among themselves most of the squalor and poverty and crime of the great city.

throughout the country is made posi- ble through a special rate system offer ed by the railroads. Years ago the railroads discovec d that immigrants had difficulty in paying the regular fares and hence special immigrants rates were established. These are call ed third-cass rates. and Ellis Island IS the only place In the United states where they can be obtained. They av- craze from 15 to 20 per cent. below the regular fares. Thus they are s3 less than the regular rate to Chicago and from $3 to $4 less than the regular rate to points beyond To Pittsburg the regular rate Is $10.50, the immigrants rate sS. Even in such a short haul as thatsto Philadelphia. the immigrant has reduction of fifty cents. As children and n ose between five and twelve years for half fare, cases are on record where family of as many as thirty persons were able to get to the far West on four and a half full tickets
 These special rates have accomplish ed much in taking the immigrants where they are most needed. The railroads realize that 1t is to their interest to carry these workmen even at a sliced rate to points where labor is in demand, because the newcomers greatly facili- tate the development of the territory in which thy are placed. They make so many new hands. so many new acres under tfllage or so many new looms and shuttles going. Ard as the pros- perity of the railroads depends on the prosperity of the territory, the advan- tage to them of encouraging the settle ment of the immigrants in the unde- veloped places is considerable.
 In no other country Tn the world are these special rates for immigrants given. Indeed, in the European coun- tries, where the railroad rates are fix ed by the Government and remain uni formly hard and fast. such an arrange ment would be impossible It is only under a flexible system of railroad

Poor Preacher and Actor.
Kansas City Star. @.-.

hahSdS OIIy SldT. ".
 The touring preacher who took oc- casion last night to denounce the thea tre and to recall his own narrow escape from life on the stage calls to mind that class of temperance lecturers whose chief stock in trade is the nar- ration of past dlssipa tions. Although this preacher in his actor days was for time a member of Sir Henry Irving's company. he still could find nothing good In the playhouse. and he condemn ed actors and playgoers alike for pre- serving tho institution. He declared that while on the stage he had acquired the use of intoxicants and drugs and had learned to gamble. That was bad enough, to be sure. but he even found himself metamorphosed by the influence of the villain parts" he was called up- on to play. It is pretty clear that the preacher was a rather bad ector.

Kitten fin a Mail sncix.

Wheeling Intelligencer.
 One of the queerest packages that a mail clerk ever took in off mail crane was that received by the clerks on the train on the Ohio River division of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad which leaves Wh seling about II o'clock in the morning.
 At little station called Vienna, where a mail sack is taken from a crane. as the train does not stop, the mail clerks the other morning made the regular grab for the mail pouch, and after opening 1t found that a I've kit ten had either been put in 1t by some one or had gotten in accidentally and had been delivered with the mall in that rough way to the car.
 An examination of the kitten show ed that one of its legs was slightly bruised. otherwise 1t did not appear to be injured. Since then 1t has been making the regular trips in the mail car and the Jerks are very much at- tached to it.

 Many New Yorker has spent an in- teresting hour watching the great crowds of immigrants at Ellis Isand
