TRIED TO BLOW OPEN A POST
OFFICE SAFE.

NORFOLK, March 3I.-The
South Norfolk postofice was rob-
bed last night by burglars. and an
unsuccessful attempt was made
to blow open the safe, which con-
tanned money and other property
OF the government.
Entrance TO the Office was
through the front door, which
was forced open bv use of a pick.
The combination on the safe
was demolished. The thieves
were evidently after money, as
nothing else in the office was
stolen.
The first information of the af-
fair was received by Postmaster
]. A. McCloud this morning at
four o'clock. when he was told
that the front door of the Office
was open. A number of tools
were left by the thieves. whose
whereabouts are unknown.
Mr.. MCCloud says he has a re-
markable good safe. and one that
cannot be forced. This is the
sixth attempt to break it open,
but all efforts have proved un-

Ohio. 1t is fact that two-thirds
of the immigrants to this country
settle in the Atlantic or Middle
Western States, although thickly
populated, and the proportion OF
toreIgn-born to native population
in many of the cities of that sec
ton has already been startling.
Speaking generally. we have
thirty-eight cities Of over 100, 900
population. Of these only eleven
have native element of over 20
per cent.

homogeneous people. l believe
the day will come when it will
prove to this great republic a

North and South Carolina
have almost no foreign element.
Georgia almost none; Mississippi
but little; Virginia, Arkansas and

ture. On the other hand, North
Dakota IS Is per cent. foreign;
Minnesota is a close second, while
more than half the population of
Wisconsin, South Dakota, Utah.

ing in each case the native born
of foreign parentage.
The South desires immigra-

NEW LIQUOR DECISION BLOW Al
HOSPITALITY.

ALEXANDRIA. VA, March 81
The phrase, " Old Virginia hos
pitality," was dealt a severe blow
in the Alexandria police court
Yesterday. when Police Justice
Cation construed the new Byrd
liquor law literally and fined sew
eral defendants for giving away
intoxicating liquors on Sunday.
These were the first cases that
had come before the local police
court since the Byrd law came
effective, and the justice made
an example of the accused where
the evidence was sufficient to con-
viCt.
Richard Jackson, a negro. sta
ted that he belonged to a club Of
five members, and that the beer
and whiskey found in his house
when the police raided it had
been purchased on Saturday.
Jackson's mother testified tina.
the defendant had given beer to
some OF their visitors Sunday. and
Jackson was assessed $50.
Walter Smith. another negro
admitted that he had treated some
friends in his house Sunday, but
said that he had bought the beer
and whiskey with which he re-
galed them Saturday. He was
fined $50 for not being informed
as to the structures laid down by
the new law.
The charge against Willis
Thompson, a negro, was selling
liqusr Sunday and without license
Robert Smith. negro, testified
for the prosecution, but his evil
dence was not substantiated, and
Thompson was disniissed.-News

FLOODS SPEECH ON IMMIGRATION.
Black Hand and Malta Menace j. S.

WASHINGTON. March 3I.-A
day or two ago, when the pension
bill was under discussion in the
House. Representative Flood Sc
cured the floor and made an in
teresting speech on the subject of
the Indiscriminate admission into
Virginia of aliens from Southern
Europe.
He spoke in favor of resolu-
ton recently adopted by the Leg
islature of Virginia. and which
has later been incorporated into
the Congressional Record, OPP
posing in the most emphatic
manner the admission of men,
hers of the Malta, Black Hand
and other murder societies of
Southern Europe,
While admitting the wisdom of
encouraging immigration, Mr..
Flood said he was satisfied the
country had better suffer for a
lack of the necessary number of
laborers than to introduce into
her midst the class of immigra-
ton against which this resolution
is directed. Continuing, he said:
The following figures show the
immigration into this country for
the year 1906.
The year 1906 was the banner
year for immigration into Amer
lea. there having arrived here for

that inspire and control the des-

We must turn from the meta
physical being of romance as
something sacred and insoluble,
and deal with the phenomena of
her nature, as revealed in her life
and deeds, if we would under
stand her character. For who
can solve the mystery of a
woman's heart?

According to a statement given out to-
day by DIT. A. d. Melvin, or the Bureau
Of Animal Industry, anxiety over the
spread Of the threatened epidemic Of
foot-aud-mOuth disease among cattle has
subsidized.
Altogether, I,5o0 head of cattle have
been slaughtered and buried since the
commencement Of the epidemic, Novem-
Der 10. and it is believed that the pro-
cess OF eradication has been SO eN-
haustive that there is little likelihood of
the disease appearing IN any ne. local
