DlSCUSSION OF THE NEW =.
r IMMIGRATION LAWS

All that this congress is expected to
do, if ANYTHING is accomplished at this
session relative to immigration, is en-
bodied in a bill reported to the senate
by Senator Dillingham; of Vermont. No
attempt is made in the bill to restrict
immigration. The object of the meas
.ure is to improve the quality of the inn
migrants accepted by barring everybody
suffering from moral, mental and physi-
cal defects. Eg ~. Z H..
One OF the most important provisions
of the proposed new law specifically bars
"imbeciles, feeble-minded persons " and
epilepties. The present law merely ex,
cludes idiots and insane persons, and
under this limitation the government has
been unable to keep out imbeciles and
feeble-minded. The bill also gives the
examining surgeons at our ports wide
latitude in rejecting persons who, as a
result of mental or physical defect. may
become incapable Of earning living
This will admit Of the rejection Of per-
sons who are poorly nourished and who
show traces Of degeneracy. This is re-
garded as a very important point, for
it is this very class of aliens that now
make up a large proportion of the oc-
cupants Of our hospitals, jails and asy-
lurns. II q @
Attorney General Moody was consult.
ed in regard to this provision and per.
sonally aided in drafting it.
The present law is also strengthened
in its application to the admission oil

those to be excluded are women or girl.

VOTE APPROVE"

That the proposition to authorize the general
assembly to issue bonds to the amount OF $4,000
for Metropolitan park system will meet with the
favor OF the electorate seems assured Every cti-
zen who takes a broad view OF government must
be satisfied with the prospect The proposed park
system will secure TO the people of the state for
all time many spots of great natural beauty.
No one man can il the plans OF the orginators
OF the Metropolitan park system are carried out
secure for private purposes those Places to which
nature has been most bountful The money need
ed can be easily secured under the proposed plan,
and the repayment be provided for in a manner
that will not burden any taxpayer, whether he pays
big tax or small one.

scenery with her splendid river front her idvlic
streams and her charming inland dells 1t would

future generations to grieve if present day selfish

TALL QUEENS.

Kings have a mysterious tendency to
get married 20 wives taller than them
selves. Cassells Saturday Journal as
sures US that there Is hardly king In
Christendom whose consort does not
overtop him by a head" King Edward
is quite six inches shorter than Queen
Alexandra.
The car is overtopped a full head by
his consort. Kaiser Wilhelm Is OF the
medium height. but his empress Is much
taller. and that Is, they say, the reason
why the proud kaiser will never consent
to be photographed beside his wife unless
she sits while he stands.
The King OF Italy, short and thick-set,
hardly comes up 10 the shoulder OF the
tall, athletic Queen Helena. The King OF
Portugal. though stouter. is less tall than
his queen. Even the Prince OF Wales IL
shorter a good four inches than the prin-
cess The young King OF Spain Is much
shorter than his new bride. The Queen
of Denmark towers above her royal
spouse. and is one OF the tallest queens
in Europe.

THE EASTERN VOLTAIRE.

Omar Khayyam was a famous Persian
poet and mathematician In the 18th CEN
tury. who was employed by the Sultan
tables and I'm making a thorough reform
OF the calendar. He is better known 10
us as the writer OF some 800 epigrams IN
verses of four lines which arc unsurpassed
in their pure diction, fine wit and crushing
satire. These clever and fascinating qua
trains were put into English by Edward
Fitzgerald. who In 1859 published The
Rubiayat Of omar" a rendering marked
by exquisite righteousness and by poetic
insight and power. Omar has been called
the Noltare OF the East because OF his
brilliant and pungent wit, while his depth

CRYSTAL SKY COLUMNS.

times the evening star has bright shaft

moon stands I'm a broad column OF light.
These appearances arc due 10 floating
frost crystals which keep their rejecting
faces horizontal. on examination ne
found that the crystals concerned in tho
exhibition were thin six sided plates OF
ice. never more than one millimeter I'm

little plates are upset. and the columns
of light caused by reflection from their
surfaces disappear.
