THERE'S a good deal of chivalry inherent

it's not always easy to do so, but one scene
witnessed rises to my mind whenever CONVERSE

1t was in the South, through express
to Washington, and the porter had just started
in to make up the beds for the night. He had
begun with the rear end of the car; and after
making one two beds he had desisted for
some reason or other, so that all the other
passensxzs except the occupants of these
seats still retained their places reading
idly waiting for their turn. The car was
crowded-not place vacant.
Zone of those whose beds had been made
was a pretty little girl charming picture OF
innocence with red cheeks and soft, appeal

Evidently this was Miss Lucys first trip in
sleeper, and she was still ignorant of the
mysteries of undressing behind the curtains
of ones bed, while hanging to the Stats OF the
bed above. Indeed, events proved, she
imagined passengers required to disrobe
in the dressing-room at the end of the car and
then proceed in their night-robes to their
resting places.
when disturbed by the porter, she had
taken her little traveling-bag and disappeared

suddenly white figure appeared in the ash
facing u.s. and paused, while pair of frightene
eyes were raised to our astounded faces.

close of the story, without thinking of that
scene and of the spontaneous tribute Offered
to innocence.

REFUSED TO DO WORK REQUIRED
Italians Didn't Fancy Life in Fertilizer
Factory.

Factory.
Savannah, Ca, Feb. 5.-The city au-
thorities are in quandary as to what
to do with twelve INDECENT Italian i'm.
migrants. who were brought to Savan-
nah some days ago to work for the
Nirginia-Carolina Chemical, company.
They found that the work required
of them was not of the character they
had expected, and quit. They say they
are artisans, while common labor
was demanded of them by the com
pany.
Complaint was made to the mayor
through one of the party, who speaks
a bit OF English. The mayor under
stood that the men had been brought
here by the Ocean Steamship compa-
ny, and he proposed to take steps to
force the company to take them back
to New York. This announcement
was followed Immediately by the
statement of the company that it did
not bring the men here, and conse-
quently, was under no obligation to
take them away.
Bishop Kelley has become interested
in the welfare of the Italians. The
bishop speaks their tongue fluently.
and has had conferences with them. It
may be that some congenial' employ
ment will be found for them, or that
means for their transportation to New
York will be provided

Savannah, Ca, Feb. 5.-Detective
Emerson. Of Macon, has identified Jas.
Dayton, alias James Brooks, who is in
the barracks here, as an alleged deaf
mute who had been in Macon for some
time prior to the recent bank robbery
at Forsyth. Detective Emerson said a
bottle had been found in the bank
after the departure of the robbers,
and that this bottle was one that had
been obtained from a Macon druggist
by some one stopping at the same
boarding house in that city that Day
ton had patronized. From this it is
deduced that Dayton may have been
one of the men involved in the rob-
berry.
Dayton committed a murderous as
sault upon Turnkey Christian at the
barracks. When Christians back was
turned Dayton sprang upon him, bear
Ing him to the ground. Catching one
officers billy Dayton began beating
him about the head. Soon Christian
was unconscious, and Dayton took his
keys. Just as he was opening the
outer door and was about to make his
escape, the patrol wagon was driven
up, and Driver Morgan saw the es-
Gaping prisoner. Though he had no
weapon, Morgan threw his hand be-
hind him as though to draw a pistol,
and ordered Dayton back into the
barracks. The prisoner obeyed and
then aid was called. Officers beat
Dayton up badly as he offered resist
ance.
The condition of Turnkey Christian
is reported to be serious.

CONGRESS HAS tlATTGR IN HAND
The RiiI viii Pass the House 1t Is
Hoped, But Opposition Is Expected
From Men Representing Districts In
Which Many Foreigners Reside.

Chicago, Feb, 5.-A dispatch to tht
Tribune from Washington says:
Every effort is to be made during
the present session of congress to Sc
cure legislation to prevent abuses il
the ma ,uralization of foreigners.
The feeling in both senate and house
has been aroused by reports made by
the commission appointed by the presi
dent to report upon immigration anC
naturalization conditions, and by the
petition presented in both houses from
the Civic Federation Of Chicago.
The house committee on immigra
ton and naturalization has completed
hearings extending over the last
month and will prepare this week {
bill placing more effective safeguards
than now exist around American cit
izenship. Republicans and Democrats
alike are taking an earnest interest in
the perfecting of bill which will ac
cord naturalization only to persons ac
tually worthy of it.
The bill will pass the house, it is
hoped, in spite of opposition expected
particularly from men representing
districts in which many foreigners re
side and will then go to the senate.
Representative Bonynge, of Colo
radO, who has attended every meeting
OF the house committee, said yester-
day the committee had considered the
various bills.
Il believe the house committee will
report a bill which will correct the
evils which our body politics is affect
ed through indiscriminate and illegal
naturalization"
Mr.. Bonynge continued:
The report of the committee and
the. evidence we have taken show an
intolerable condition of affairs and it
is to the interest of ourselves as a ma
ton and as individuals, to prevent
the naturalization of persons untitled
for citizenship
