COMING AND GOING.
Emigration This Year is Heavier
 Than For a Long Time.

Washington, D. C., Nov. 29.- While immigration to America shows no signs of failing off, indeed the figures indicate such an increase that, if it should continue, the immi- grafton for the present fiscal year will exceed that of last year. which was the high mark in the history of the immigration service; 1t must not be overlooked that the emigration from the United States is greater than it has been for many years"
 This significant statement was made by Frank P. Sargent, commis- sioner general of immigration and naturalization, after an investigation extending over several months. It is not the business of the immigration officials to inquire into emigration, but, in the course of their regular work, they come into possession of many interesting facts respecting the movements of aliens both to, and from. this country.
 "It seems likely" continued Com missioner Sargent, that the net re- suit Of the immigration to the United States this year will not be so large as it has been in some past years, because of the considerable body of aliens returning to Europe. And they are aliens. too, not citizens of the United States. IL has been notice able in the past two or three years that many foreigners who come to America manifest no particular de- sire to become citizens. Naturaliza- tion has not begun to keep pace with immigration; it does not even ap- proximate it. This shows that most of the aliens who come here. either because they expect eventually to re- turn Otheir European homes or for some other reason, determine not to become American citizens.
 Among those who have studied the situation, the opinion generally is held that immigrants are attracted 10 America by the good prices or dinarily paid for labor. skilled and unskiIled. I have talked to a great many of them and find that they tx- pect to remain here until they can save a few hundred dollars and then return home. They know that in southern Europe especially. a thou sand. or even five hundred dollars is regarded a fortune among the classes to which a majority of the immigrants belong With their fru- gal habits it is not a difficult matter for them to lay ID that much money in the course of two or three years. or even in less time People who have no knowIedge of the subject would be surprised to know how Iit- tie an Italian laborer, for instance. can and does live on Many of the

 A. Because in former times the trade was conjoined to the art of sur the letting of blood and bandages. with a basin suspended beneath tc catch the blood, were hung out to de- signate their profession. This exist ence of barbers as surgeons can be traced back as far as 1871, when g corporation was formed in France which was under the jurisdiction of the kings barber. In England the barber-surgeons received their inc0r poration in the reign of Edward ". G46D. In 1745 the connection was dissolved by an act whose preamble states that the trade of a barber, lis foreign to and independent of the practice of surgery"

 Pupil-Will you print something about the evolution of the piano?
 A. The pianoforte was directly evolved from the clavichord and the harpsichOrd. In 1711 Scipione Maffei gave a detailed account of the first instruments, which were built by Bartolommeo Cristofoei, named by him pianOforte, and exhibited in 1709. Marius exhibited harpsichords with hammer action in France in 1716,and Schroter of Germany claimed to have invented the pianoforte between 171T and 1721. Marius was at first gen. erally credited with the invention, for it was net till 173S when Cristofoei's instruments had become famous, that the Italian advanced his claim, and it was in 1163 that he brought for ward the proof of his contention. Pi- amos of that period were shaped like the modern grand, the first square pi- ano being built by Friederica, an or gan builder of Saxony, in 175S. The first genuine upright was patented in England and the United States by John Isaac Hawkins, an Englishman, in 1900.

fellows who work all day in trenches or in railroad construction do not spend more than Is cents day for their living and few of them spend more than 25 cents. Receiving wages that will average a dollar or more per day, they can save a con. siderable sum of money in a con- paratively short time.
 'These are the people who are re- turning to Europe. I am told by of ficials of the steamship lines that, for many weeks, they have been carrying back to Europe in the steerage almost as many passengers as they bring to this country. Every one of these peo- pie has money and many of them have large sums. haven't a doubt that millions of dollars of our currency have gone down into the socks of the aliens in this country. They do not deposit their money in banks They sequester it as fast as they get hold of it. When they accumulate enough ,or what they consider enough, they go back to their native homes. Just now. the emigration from Am erica is greater than usual, perhaps. because work in some lines of con struction has been suspended on ac- count of the financial stringency and some of the aliens have been laid off their jobs. Still, at all times. this sort of emigration is pretty heavy. as there are hundreds of aliens who go back to Europe every two or three years. returning to America to make another little bundle of money when they have expended that which they accumulated during their previous so- journ in the United States"

SEEK THEIR RELEASE.
Twenty-seven Inmates of the State
 Prison Petition for Pardon.

John Warren. who has been m in. mate of the state prison forty-eight years, longer than any prisoner al Wethersfield, is among the twenty seven convicts whose petitions for re- lease will be heard at the session of the board of pardons, Monday, at the Capitol Warren, who is 69 years old, was convicted in December 1859, of the murder of his wife in Windham county and given life sentence. This is his fourth applica- ton for pardon.
 Those from New Haven county who ask for pardon are the follow ing, some of them being from this city:
 James F. Taylor. sentenced July IS. 1887. for life for the murder of Mrs Ernst in New Haven, petitions for pardon for the eighteenth time. The murder was committed while Taylor and Henry F. Chamberlain were robbing the house. The woman was about to awake, and to silence her chloroform was employed, the woman succumbing to the effectG. In his petition Taylor declares he did not administer the drug, and that he was unconscious of what was hap pening.
 Henry B. Chamberlain, who was with Taylor, petitions for the six teenth time. He and Taylor began their prison careers the same day. He sets mp high grounds for his re- lease. He says that his punishment has been excessive: that the lay was vindicated ten years ago; that one shOuld serve a fife sentence for an unpremeditated act is not in accord with justice or the modern msthod of treating first commitment of one capable of right living and qualified to care for himself. He therefore asks that the sentnee of life imDris- onment be eommuted to a twenty five years senteuee on the claims as herein stated
 Three other New Haven life pris- Oners who petition are Charles Shy der. Michael Angelo Orlando and An drea Laudano. Snyder was sentenced in 1901 He says that he was iutoxi- eated when the crime was commit ted Orlando nas been in prison since 1897. He has petiti0ned twelve times.
