+ A Dorchester woman recently lost
pocketbook containing a sum OF
money, ticket 10 California and
some other papers through the clev-
9, ness Of pickpOckcL in the shop
ping district She reported her loss
10 the police and was left TO choose
between buying a new ticket or fore
going the pleasure OF the trip, for the
police were able 10 g,t no trace OF
the missing pocketbook.
IL was with a good deal Of sur
prise that she received notification
from the postofiiCe that q pocketbook
containing her card and a ticket TO
California had been found. She quick
ly proved her property and was glad
10 back what the pickpocket had left
for her. IL was the first time she
knew that the postofiice has one or
two side lines besides handling the
mail.
That pocket book had been picked
up by n letter collector in one of the
package boxes in the territory served
ny the Essex street station. He turn
ed it over 10 the superintendent OF the
station, who sent it 10 the superin-
tendent OF mails. That official, after
consulting with the postal inspectors,
caused the pOCkctbOOk e. be delivered
to its owner.
To find pocketboOk in a package
box is not 50 unusual as 10 cause any
surprise at the pOstOtfce. In fact,
it happens very frequently when big
conventions are being held in town
and pickpockets are lively. If the
addresses Of the owners are given
the pockctbooks find their way home
again; and the department is as dill
gent in finding the owner as 1t is in
looking UP the addresaCc OF a letter.

immigration records for this port
have been sent skyward by aliens that
have been pouring into this port on
every foreign steamship. Already
this year more aliens have come in
than ever before during - months
and there is yet 10 be counted the inn
migration of November and Deem
bcr. These figures Will swell the to-
tai for the year far beyond the pre-
dictiOns OF those who expected large
ly increased immigration. When 1t
is taken into consideration that the
figures for 1906 already show more
than four times the total immigration
of 1900, it is rather startling.
The Commissioner, Col George b.
Billings. has handled this immense
throng OF immigrants with practically
no increase uf his working force, and
has acquired remarkable speed in
passing upon the great shiploads or
immigrants which come into this port.
The increased immigration has dem
Onstrated. however, that If 1t contin-
ues. the detention quarters at Long
wharf will soon be outsrOwn and
the serious problem of providing
new station for the immigration de-
partment will be forced upon the ma
tional department Of commerce and Ia
Dor. The project OF having the immi-
grafton department located on some
island in the harbor and the busi-
ness conducted on lines similar to
those in New York is said TO be but
matter of a few years il immigration
increases with the great strides made
in the past five years.
A jump from 1905 persons admitted
TO this port in 1900 to 75000-which
will be the record this year-makes
the problem OF greatly enlarged faciIi-
ties for handling immigrants one
which will have to - reckoned with
soon The quarters at Long wharf
are plainly inadequate.
Since the lst OF March immigration
records have been broken every month.
Not a week nor month has passed but
more aliens entered this port than

Reports that the widow Of Russell
Sage meant to use her many millions
of dollars TO endow home for aged
teachers, and in a fund to educate
young men for the church, drew from
Mrs. Sage the other day the first defin-
ite statement of her wishes and pur-
poses.
She announces, that the thousands
who have besieged her for money
thousands who stretch from college
presidents to ordinary street beggars
have wasted their time. She will
have none of them.
Further, she Is loathe to endOw
church or institution, feeling that the
absence of need brings lack of ac-
tivity for good. Mrs. Sage says she
means to distribute. and within short
time. the bulk of the fortune her hus-
band left TO her but she says, in
positive fashion. that she will give
as far as possible to individuals,
avoiding institutions, and 10 those
she knows TO be worthy.

About 200 pilots and masters Of
steam craft from this city, Boston,
Washington, Philadelphia and Balti-
more, members of the American as
sociation of masters, mates and pilots,
met here the other day to discuss
amendments to the laws regulating
the navigation of steam vessels.
George Uhler, supervising inspector
general of the steamboat inspection
service, criticised the rule which for
bids masters of vessels blowing a
passing" whistle unless the vessel is
in sight or from blowing in fog. He
said there was no reason why the
passing whistle should not be blown
when the navigator deemed best. He
said he believed President Roosevelt
would ask congress to amend the law
if the matter were presented TO him.

M. Houssaye attributes the muddle over orders at Waterloo to NapOleOn's s eXecrable handwriting. This was the opinion of the writing master of Alex. andre Dumas: ''The emperor never lost a battle except by his bad writing. His officers could never make out what he meant. Remember this, Alexandre, and make your down strokes heavy and your up strokes light" Grouchy declares that during the battle of Wa terloo he could not make out whether Napoleon wrote "bataille gagnee" or ''bataille engagee," and he conJectural- ly read "battle gained.

Mica Mining.

Mica mining is one of the greatest industries in North Carolina. Mica is found in all sorts of blocks of various thicknesses and shapes and can be split and resplit almost ad infinitum or until it becomes the thin, flexible wafer of commerce. The material is by nature imbedded or scattered through the field spar in masses large or small, close to- gether or far apart, and is blasted from the rocks by means of dynamite, the purer veins being found between walls of slate. From the mines 1t is taken to the shops, where it is split into thin sheets, trimmed into regular forms and made ready for the market, the price varying with the size and color of the sheets. The average size is about 4 by 6, though rare sheets of 24 by IS inches are sometimes found.
