simony always comes to the fore whens thew try to manage hotels. They in4I variably make g great display of dainty chinaware and bright sllvery ware and linsn, but they don't givei their guests enough to eat The mos ment my dinner is served in q hotel I can tell whether man or woman is at the helm in that hostelry. If 1t is a woman the chances are hundred to one that the coffee will be weak, that there will be just little less than sufficient of every dish, and that the meal will be served nicely, on pretty china. The man manager may not have as fastidious a taste in cups and saucers, but he takes proper pride in giving his guests enough to eat. He seldom adopts cheeseparing methods of saving money by putting his guests on short rations, but the woman manager almost invariably does so. She delights in giving little sample dabs of meat and vegetables in pretty little dishes such as are used to feed canary birds nineteen peas in one dish, third of an ear of corn in another, two thin slices of red beet in 8 third. a so on.

Composed of the old Boston and Worcester and the Western, consolidated by legislative compulsion, together with few branch feeders, it originated with the idea of furnishing the connections With the great west that Boston inter- ests felt were needed even before the railway era began. The functions of the Boston and Albany have been con- fined to supplying these western con- nections In measure, while cultivat- ing the rich belt of territory assured by its position as Longitudinal trunk line for the State. Its management has never cherished ambitions of ex- pansion beyond it's original field Since the New York Central obtained control the old traditions have been maintained. It is claimed to have been the Boston and Albany that made possible the development of the New York Central. A word should be add ed about the secondary systems The electric lines-the street and the inter- urban railways--are assuming an in- creasingly important part in our tram sit problems. They are proving to be not at all competitive in their elation to the primary systems; in their sub- urban and interurban aspects they are developing what is mainly an entirely new class of passenger traffic, together with express and light freight, Tn all these aspects they act as feeders rath- CT than as competitors for the primary systems.

The volume of Italian population In Connecticut, especially in the industrial centers is rapidly assuming such com handing proportions as to challenge in terest and study. The Italian immigra- tion to the State during the past de- cade has been conducted on large and growing scale, and is clearly reflected in the birth certificates.

The slav Element.


 But the foreign drift of the popula- tion of the State has been hastened by generous contributions from the Slav and allied races. The number of
 births from Russian-b born parents grew
 from S9O in 1896 to 2,1S0 in 1905, and is
 now surpassed in the foreign column
 only by the fecund Italians. Those from Hungarian parents increased
 from 54 in 1896 to 704 in 1905; those from Austrian parents, from 93 in 1896 to 734 in 1905; while the Polish con- tributions to the infant industry have also shown rapid growth. The immi- grants from these races are working in factories, taking up impoverished farms and doing large amount of the rough work of the State.
 The Hungarians are largely assem- hled in Fairfield county, and upwards of three-fourths of the Hungarian births of the State in 1905 took place
 in that corner of the commonwealth | Over a third of the Russian children horn in Connecticut during that year | were natives of New Haven county and almost another third uttered their

 Maine to Portland, its winter port.
 The Canadian Pacific makes a short cut across Maine to the maritime provinces, but in doing so it exerts comparatively little influence upon New England, one way or another. Otherwise it is a valuable connection of the Boston & Maine by way of the latter's lines through New Hampshire and Vermont. Finally the Bangor & Aroostook, a comparatively new sys- tenn, occupies rich territory peculiar ly it's own in northeastern Maine-the only independent railroad company beside the two great ones with a field either exclusively or mainly in New England

The Irish race. which used to hold undis- puted supremacy in the matter of Connecticut-bOrn children of foreign born parents, and which has contrib uted much to the energy of the State, his retired to third place, and the championship banner is now held by the Italians. The contributions of Irish born parents to the census of Connec- ticut births during 1905 numbered 1,459 but the corresponding figure in ths case of Italian immigrants mounted up to 2,66S. The annual part which Irish born residents play in the birth tables of Connecticut has shown drift to- ward contraction for several years, plainly indicating that the volume of emigration from the Emerald Isle to sConnecticut is dwindling The number of Connecticut births of Irish-born parents decreased from 9,111 in 1898 to 1,459 in 1905, shrinkage of more than 80 per cent.
 The expansion of the Latin and Slav elements of the population, as dis closed by the birth statistics, is i'm. pressively brought out in the report. .EThe number of children borne by Ital- ian-born parents bounded forward by rapid strides from SS2 in 1896 to 2,6SS in 1905, a sensational gain of over 200 per cent In New Haven county alone during 1905 the figures of Italian births were greater than the statistics of chil- dren born of native American stock in the counties of New London.

Tn the Cities.

Naturally the injection of new for eign blood into Connecticut is most
 pronounced and profuse in the popu- lous centers. In only thirty-two per cent. of the births in the city of New Haven during 1905 were both parents
 American born; in Hartford, only thir- ty-four per cent: in Bridgeport, only twenty-seven per cent; in Waterbury, only twenty eight per cent; in New
 Britain and Vernon, only twenty-five
 per cent; in Meriden, only twenty eight per cent. in Norwich, only thir-
 ty-one per cent; in Stamford. only
 twenty-nine per cent; in Bristol, only
 thirty-three per cent; in Ansonia, only twenty-four per cent; in Naugatuck, only twenty three per cent; in Nor
 walk, only thirty-one per cent; In Torrington, only thirty-three per cent. The extent to which the infusion of alien blood has gone in Connecticut and the marked readjustment which has taken place in the racial propor- tions of the foreign part of the popu- lation during recent years combine to
 make striking problem and to test the capacity of the State to incorpor-
 ate new elements into its citizenship without greatly changing the stand- ards and character of the common
 wealth.

Decline of American Births.

Of the 23,271 births which took place in the State during 1905 the number in which both parents were foreign born, establishing a new high record, foots up 11,327 The percentage of for eign births during the past decade has increased from 495 to 4S.6. Meanwhile, the ratio of births in which both par ents were native-born has undergone a steady decline. While in 1896 the births from American parentage represented 41.2 per cent. of the total output of births, those for 1905 constituted only S5.7 per cent. of the whole body of birth returns. In other words, the percentage of purely American births suffered a shrinkage of 5.5 during the ten-year period, and the ratio of purely foreign births up 5.1 per cent. the while. The ] percentage of birth certificates in which one parent is returned as native-born and the other as foreign-born clings pretty closely tu 15 year after year.
 New Haven county continues to make the most liberal foreign contribution to the infant population of the State, and in 1905 more than half the births were of alien parentage. The exact fig ure was 54,6 per cent. Hartford county which is studded with industrial com- munities, stood second and foreign par ents figured in 50.3 per cent. of the births.

The facts which are crowded into the annual report recently issued by the bureau of vital statistics for Connecti- cut and which cover the calendar year of 1905, disclose with striking clearness the extent to which this State has be- come foreign community. Study of the abundant tabulations concerning births shows that the native stock of the commonwealth is being steadily overwhelmed by the superior numbers of the invading races from oversea, Numerically the American element is substantially stationary, with a slight drift toward shrinkage, but the foreign ratio of the population Is undergoing steady expansion.
