the last five years more than $500 of
money orders, thinking they were re-

This incident recalls the fact that

ten millions, since the establishment

POSTAGE STAMP BIDDER:
FAILS TO LAND BONDS

4 BRAHAM WHITE, the bold and
"a unique genius of Wall street, and
known as the original postage stamp
bidder" has come to grief at last in
his latest and most daring exploit in
high finance. White tried to carry off
the city's entire new $4O,O00,O00 issue
of bonds with a draft on a $4,000 cor.
poration.
White, in behalf of his bond house,
the Abraham White Bond company,
offered to take the entire $4O,O00,0OO
of bonds at prices ranging from 100.35
to 102.50. He deposited with his bid
a draft instead of a certified check.
The draft was for 100000 and was
drawn on the Greater New York Sc
curfty company, corporation Of
which he is supposed to be the sole
active member, and which does not
figure in the directory of the building
where it is located. This concern is
capitalized at $4,000. It gave print
ed acceptance of the draft, which thus
bore semblance to certified check
for 100000.
The draft was presented for pay

w. E. HANNAFORD, Pub.
VIRGIN A, MINNESOTA
The IMMIGRANT Woman,

What becomes of the ever-increas-
ing number of immigrant women who
come to this country? asks Frances A.
Kellar, in Atlantic Monthly. Do they
enter the ranks of labOrers or of drift
ers? Do they rise in the scale of hu-
man life and friendship, or deterior-
ate? The labor and vote of immigrant
men are so valuable to the business in
terests of this country that there is
much available information as to what
becomes of them, but no correspond
ing data for immigrant women. The
inter-municipal research committee, in
cooperation with others, has set out to
gather this information, particularly
for the young and unmarried women
during the first three years of resi-
dence. This is the critical period of
their life, and work during that time
constitutes great social, economic
and moral factor in the progress and
development Of this country and it's
people. Immigrant women, quite as
much as immigrant men, belong to the
exploited and disinherited group, and
though we flatter ourselves that wo.
men are better protected than men,
Immigrant women upon their arrival
have no disadvantage in laws or trade
over men, and are at a disadvantage
politically. The problem of immigrant
women is not entirely that of immi-
grant men, for two main reasons.
First, the labor, the housing and wages
of women are more complicated by
questions Of sex and morality; and
second, the field of domestic service,
which takes great numbers of them,
has an influence unlike that of any
other occupation. 1t is mistake to
attempt to understand or solve the So
cial, industrial and moral questions
arising from immigration without con-
sidering the women. For the year end
ing June 80, 1905, 301,585 women,
nearly one-half of the number of men,
came to this country.

mates officials in Turkey in such ap.

son of one of the intimates of the
Turkish ruler, the well-known 1zzet
Bay, the sultan's personal secretary
for foreign affairs, which Office, neces.
sarily, has brought him into frequent
and close contact with his sovereign.
1zzet Bey is also legal adviser to the
sublime porte. The fact that with suf-

enable him to select almost any diplo.

have chosen Washington, is regarded
as a manifestation of the growing ap.
