During 1906, according to the last
report Of the Irish Emigrant Society,
26,922 natives Of the Emerald Isle
landed at the port Of New York In
the number there were 14,O17 males
and 12,005 females. One thousand two
hundred and eighteen were under four
teen years Of age, 1894 between the
ages Of fourteen and forty-fve years
old. The influx has raised in certain
quarters the fear that Ireland is about
to be depopulated in favor Of the Uni
ted States and revived the scheme for
moving the island across the Atlantic
and anchoring 1t in New York harbor, a
scheme which was first put forward
by an enterprising individual In the
era when immigrant ships were small
Ter than they are now and before Ire
land had abandoned supremacy at the
pick handle in favor of American poll
tics. But the fact that the Irish i'm
migrants Of 1905 brought with them
$641, ,698 In good British gold and bank
notes goes far to disprove the poverty
of "the old sod"

preparations for the improvement Of
New York's waterways which aggre-
gates approximately $1,9OO,0O0. This
amount, while scarcely In proportion

commerce of the country, or the con-

harbors, is, nevertheless, SO well distri-

New York has a good deal Of legal
talent which has acquired something
more than local prominence in more
than one field of honest endeaver.
Some of it is indigenous to the soil
and some has been transplanted from
less favored localities; but, as rule,
the contest for supremacy is between
scions of the good old native Dutch
and Irish stocks, with the honors pref
ty evenly divided. Just now the Irish
are claiming new champion in Judge
Thomas P. Dinnean, who has sue

The Bureau of Information and Sta
tistics of the New York State Depart
ment of Agriculture estimates that
fully $4,000 laborers will be required
on the farms of the state this spring
and through its office in this city Is
putting into execution a novel plan,
which, in small way proved high
ly successful in supplying the demand
last year. The Department has ad-
vertised extensively both in New York
and in Europe for agricultural labor
receipt of numerous applications from
men, both single and married, who are
anxious to work on the farms Of the
state. Many applications have been
received from Holland and other Eu-
ropean countries. where whole fanli-
hes are willing to emigrate if assured
Of farm employment here. Many imi-
grants reaching New York are at once
engaged by the Bureau of Farm En-
ployment. Last year the Bureau plac-
ed All farm laborers and hopes this
year to increase the number to the So
600 which will give the farmers Of the
state a chance to sleep nights. But

NEW YORK. Feb,S--one OF the
most interesting developments in the
trial of Harry X. Thaw of Pittsburg
for the killing Of Stanford white last
summer, has been the international
Importance impaired 10 the case by the
sources from which witnesses and
friends of the accused have been
drawn. In addition to Thaw's own
family and two or three medical ex-
perts, the number OF Pittshurghers In
town exceeds all previous records.
They overflow every hotel in the city,
apparently, as we'll as the boarding
houses on West Forty fourth and West
Forty-fifth streets, which seem to be
a popular stamping ground for those
unwilling to so to more expensive quar-
ters. The Hotel Astor in Longacre
Square has five times as many guests
from the Smoky City as at any other
time since its opening. and the same
thing is true of many other leading |
hotels. San Francisco. Chicago ami
Boston have each furnished one or
more of the principal characters In
the trial: Thaw's person counsel
comes from New Orleans: his sister,
the Countess Of Yarmouth, has arriv-
ed from England, while his mother.
Mrs. William Thaw, has hurried home
from Paris TO be present at the trial I
which involves the life, or, at the very
least, the liberty of her son. An army
