The Pennsylvania Railroad. probably
more than any other large railroad in

continued piracy, and Its efforts I'm pro-

EXODUS OF THE IRISH
Last Year $1,000 Of Them Left Old
Ireland.

During the last year total Of 35,-
9iS Irishmen and Irish women left their
native hand to seek fame and fortune
abroad. This number was 4,746 more
than In 1905 and Is noteworthy in view
of the fact that 1t is the first time for
FIVE years that an increase has to be
recorded.
Since 1898 the highest total for any
one year has been 4S.70} ard the lowest
was IN 1905. when 30,g76 was the total.
In the previous 10 years the highest
total was 1OS,72i and the lowest i7,065.
Since 1851 the total numIbor OF irish
emigrants has been 1908 S3S, almost
equai TO the present population Of the
country and equal to an average exodus
OF more than 72,00O year, or an aver
age for the entire period OF more than
double the total emigration last year.
Thus. Il becomes evident that the very
heavy drain to which the country has
so long been subject IS steadily de-
creasing.
The United states is stlll the favcrite
destination of the irish emlgrant Thus
on analyzing last years exodus we ind
that the destinations were as follows;
United states. 27O7s: Canada S,4Ol;
south Africa, 295: Australia, sis; New
Zealand, 105: other countries, 5Si Great
Britain, 1905.
Il is a significant fact THAT nearly
two -thirds OF the emigrants whose
destinations were TO places other than
the United states Were from Province
OF Ulster.
There were I'm all 1868 men among
the emigrWnts. Of whom l0,4i4 were de-
scribed as laborers, and lG.2I5 women
