Freeman, at that time master of the hounds. who
said the meeting last spring was not properly
watched by the stewards and club officials.
He demanded that the license of the club be with
drawn. His action based upon a runlor that
Mr. AIpers. who rode Mr.. Freeman's horse Strong
heart on the second day Of the meeting, had
'pulled" the mount to allow another horse. on
which Mr.. Alpers had a large bet, to win Strong
heart was of seven horses In the race and
finished second. An investigation of his record
shows, said, that this was the best work ever
done by the horse. Later it developed that Mr.
AIpers had placed bet OF SO with a bookmaker

charge was found to be unfounded.

feels bad enough with the occasional t~tngeS IN
his right shoulder, but, he said this evening.
''t isn't half as bad as to have every old woman
and every quack in tho country bounding the life
out of you by suggesting sure cures
Since the public came to know that Wagner has
rheumatism his real troubles began Every mall
and every express wagon brings him dozens. scores
and hundreds of remedies His home is full OF
them, and this afternoon Barney Dreyfuss, presi-
dent of the Pittsburg team, ordered him to remove
several carloads of bottles and boxes from tho
offices OF the club under penalty of paying storage
But Wagner laughed and this evening all the med

Irish Emigration to This Country
Has Been Enormous

Irish Emigration to This Country
Has Been Enormous.
No page in history reveals such q
migration as that of the Irish to
America. The figures are astonishing
From 1910 to 1860 not fewer than q
100000 crossed the ocean to settle In
the United States; from 1860 to 1880
an additional 100000 made fresh
start In life in the great republic over
the seas, and from 1880 to the present
time another 100000 was added to
our population. Since 1860 the average
has been 100000 a decade.
The twelve agricultural States, rep
resented by Ohio, Indiana, Michigan,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri, Iowa,
Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, North
and South Dakota, contain one-fourth
Of the 100000. OF the portion settled
in the North Atlantic States but one
fifth are on farms; but this tendency
to crowd into the towns disappears
when the surroundings are agricultur-
al, as Is shown by the large percentage
more than 50-of those who have
taken to farming In the twelve agricul-
tuIal States above mentioned.
1t Is only because the bulk of the
Irish in America are not In the midst
Of farming districts that they are less
an agricultural people than the other
immigrant elements added to the popu-
lation. They have found an outlet for
their energies in the congested districts
and their wonderfully adaptive natures
have allowed them easily to enter upon
the industries of the people among
whom they were thrown.
1t Is In the Eastern States that the
Irish promise to ultimately constitute
a majority of the population This Is
already the case in three New England
States and in many New England
cities In New York City they are
barely behind the Germans and slight
ly in Chicago.

An editorial article In a religious
monthly calls renewed attention to the
shortage Df Protestant preachers OF
/ ability. 1t Is said that the ministry as
a profession has lost its attractiYeness
! for able men, despite the rapid growth
of the churches In membership, the
marked increase In the population of
the country, and the constant demand
for thoroughly equipped persons to fill
places of Importance, demand unpre-
cedented In the history Of the Christian
church. The theory is advanced that
Independent and energetic students are
not attracted by the modern plan of
ministerial education which provides
free tuition, free room rent, and often
cash payments as well to such as feel
that they are called to preach. An EN-
dowment of million dollars for educa-
tion of preachers sometimes lies prac-
tically idle for lack Of students to use
the income. The same conditions are
to be found in the schools of all Prot
estant denominations. The future ply
sician or lawyer Is placed In sharp con-
trapositlon. He usually has much
higher fees to pay, has much smaller
funds In the way of scholarship aid to
draw up, and knows that a discourag
ing wait Is certain after he Is admitted
to practice before the first patient or
cliCnt appears. The theological student
steps at once from the commencement
platform, with his diploma certifying
to the completion Of a given course of
training, during which he has been car
ried along financially into a waiting
pulpit. His salary and his life work
begin when his preliminary preparation
ends. And yet few able youths seek
the preachers career. The editorial
writer suggests that this easy way OF
getting an education and a livelihood
does not appeal to tie active and ener-
getlc and that, as consequence, the
ministry gets only those who like the |
easy life. But there are other reasons |
which might be adduced for the famine
In ministers. There was a time when |
the preacher was the most important |
parsonage In the community. His inhu-
ence was commanding. The church af-
forded the only avenue to fame for the /
bright young man. The Industrial work
er, the manufacturer, the merchant, tie
farmer, were not supposed to need edu-
cation. The administrator as such had
not developed. But recent years have
witnessed complete change In condi-
tions. Educated men are welcomed aad
win success In many lines of life, indie
pendence and wealth both awaiting the
Industrious who may have great lnfu-
ence and power. No longer having a
of education and information
the minister is compelled to compete
with great newspapers, with many mag
azlnes In reach of the masses, with a
Hood of useful and helpful books, and
with constantly improving methods of
influencing thought. His hearers often
are as we'll educated as himself. He is
restrained by church creeds. He is
poorly paid. If he Is an orator the lee
ture platform Is open to him. There
ire many reasons why the pulpit
should not be so attractive for able men
as 1t was once.

formerly a special envoy TO the

THE japanese understand America
better than Americans understand
JAPAN" he said. A great majority OF
the men holding public positions
here, were educated by American
instructors. and have long studied
American institutions. Now, through
the press and otherwise. they are
helping the people to appreciate the
difficulty which the federal govern
ment lie, under In cont. o'lihg .ndi-
vidual states. Japan's moral system
insists that a finger shall never be
raised against her benefactor. Japan
owes her position among the powers
to America. The American govern
ment and the people, with England,
are Japan's best friends. War is un-
thinkable."
