claim the ancestral castles which
the death of relative had brought
to him, vowing that he would return
as soon as he could and claim at least
one of the maidens who had won his
heart.

to the national capital The visitors were mostly
women. They marched through the corridors
and the big rotunda, recalling wildly the raid
upon the Capitol made during the hard times
by CoXeys army.
The White Ribboners kept within bounds until
an attorney for the brewers Robert Craine arose
TO address the committee. Women crowded the
small committee room and far out into the hall
Most Of them could not hear a word that the
attorney said He began by referring to the
attitude Bishop Potter, Of New York had taken
IN regard to the saloon. This displeased some Of
those within hearing and they showed their dis
approval by Kisses. 1t was taken up by those

JEWS TO HELP THE BLIND.
Council of Women's York to EN-

The New York branch Of the Council Of Jew
ish Women. which already maintains vast
amount Of practical benevolent work among the
Jewish poor Of the city, is about to add to its
list Of activities the Of the Jewish INDECENT
blind Miss Sadie American, the president, told
the members who attended the fifth annual
luncheon Of the organization yesterday at the
Hotel Majestic that there were 100 very poor
blind people belonging to their race and religion
in New York and the women, most OF whom
were elegantly gowned and bejewelled, looked
at each other with sympathy and pity on their
faces, and whispered that they must do some
thing"
I'VE now number 1850 members" said Miss
American in the course Of a short historical
sketch of the council, and especially of the New
York branch. but do you realize that with all
our work for immigrant girls, our unInar-
ried mothers and our poor, that his one class
has been left unhelped? Just recently the
names of ninety blind children have been given
TO me. These will be visited at once"
Mrs Tunis G. Bergen. who was introduced as

women to mother" their city by befriending

Mrs. Belle De Rivera talked about clubs and

where a woman Of thirty-five forty talked Of

chimney corner waiting for death. We've
changed all that. Club rows? Well, they were
among the evils, but even when the women
resolved 20 leave club life and go home TO sit

IMMIGRATION PROBLEMS.
Difference Between Poor Immigrants and
Rich Emigrants.

Which is the greater eviI-the pauper imrj-
grant or the millionaire emigrant? This ques-
ton propounded by Mrs. Harriet Ostrom
yesterday afternoon at the regular meeting Of
the Woman's West End Republican Club IN the
Hotel Astor to the speaker Of the occasion. Mar
Braun. former Commissioner of immigration
Mr.. Braun had been talking about the immi-
grant custom of sending money home to Europe
or Of staying In this country just long enough to
earn money to pay off mortgage TO buy a
home.
"Of the million immigrants who come to US
every year." he said, half q million return.
while millions Of dollars are sent annually by
immigrants to their relatives in the Old World.
I don't know how this can be prevented. but if 1t
is kept up it is likely to become a serious drain"
Mrs. Ostrom thought this a small matter as
compared with the emigrant millionaire
We complain she said, about the few
paltry dollars that the poor man sends abroad.
or the little home that he secures to. end his
days in, while our monaires going to
England and building castles If had the
money they spend in Europe wouldn't miss
the little that the immigrants take out of the
country We very much concerned too,
lest men with prison records should land on our
shores while as bad men are leaving them as
any who come TO US They have robbed us in
many ways and they have never been in prison
Let the immigrant and let him go as he
pleases. Our millionaires go and very few re-
turn"
But these are Americans and we cannot helm
ourselves" answered Mr.. Braun. when the
trouble is in our own house It is not so easy to
deal with 1t as when ii is elsewhere
Mr.. Braun said he had nothing to say against
immigration, having been an immigrant him
self, but thought that better methods of re-
striction and distribution should be devised The
deportation Of those likely to become public
charges seems 10 him particularly Intellectual
measure. because there is way of telling who
are likely TO become such
Money is no guide" he said "I landed here
with only 81 60 in my pocket. I was likely to
become a public charge, but so far I haven't

wi. tn $500 or $500 with good health and a trade
and TO become public charge in a few weeks

and have not cent the next day.
Mr.. Braun advocated a means Of keeping
out undesirable immigrants a Secret Service svs-
tenn abroad and a law compelling the steam
ship companies to return the passage money Of
deported persons.
