ITALIAN IMMIGRANTS
SAVE H MOST MONEY

That italian laborers save more
money at the same wages than any
other European immigrants is a state
ment made In a report of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor. The
reason Is easily found,
A great majority of the unskilled la
borers in this country are employed
In railroad construction and similar
undertakings, which are usually car
ried on where there are no aecommo-
dations for boarding and lodging the
men. The boarding camp thus be-
comes essential to the contracting
company.
In the case of men of all nationali-
ties except the Italians a fixed charge
Is made for the boarding and lodging
of each man. The Italians, however,
insist on buying and cooking their
own food.
Investigation Of the records of a
contracting company employing many
lahorers OF various nationalities in
railroad construction showed that the
actual cost to the company for gro
ceries, provisions and payment for
cooks, walters, fuel. light, etc, at It's
boarding camps was nineteen cents a
meal, or SAGE q week for each man.
The men were charged SIS a month for
board and lodging.
The Italians at the camps of the
same company lived mostly on maca
roni, sausage, cheese, sardines and
bread, macaroni and bread being the
staples, and the others used very SPAR
ingly. The average monthly expense
of each laborer was as follows: TWEEN

of bread 1T eight cents, 50; thirty
pounds of macaroni at seven cents,
s2.i0j sausage, sardines and cheese
81. 80; lard, ninety cents.
Most of the Italians, in addition to
that amount, spent IN average Of So a
month for beer. cheap cigars and to-
bacco, which. with the expense of Il a
month for shanty rent, brought the

BURMA.

There is no unrest in Burma, and no
the slightst sign in any part of the
great province of discomfort. Conse-
quentIy "the feeling of discomfort
owing to being harshly treated by
India must have been created by the
Calcutta sensation -monger. The desire
for a greater measure Of self-goveru-
ment in Burma is merely a desire. 1t
is not a grievance. and does not, and
never will, involve discomfort. Indeed,

MODERN SHIPS AND SHIPPING.

No hurricane or cyclone that ever
blew has power in itself alone to sink
the modern ships Of the great lines, so
large are they, and so ~conscientiously
equipped and maintained, without re-
gard to cost, and with a provision not
alone for visible defects, but also for
flaws that are merely suspected. The
dangers arise from ice and fog, the
careless and incompetent navigation of
other ships, and those dreaded derelicts,
the abandoned wrecks which do not
sink, but. half~submerged, drift blindly
with the ocean currents, q constant
menace to all moving things that cross
their path.-Pau Mali Gazette.

THE MERRY WIDOW.

A man whose wife was extremely
jealous planned a pleasant surprise for
her in the form of a trip to New York
to see "The Merry Widow" and wrote
q friend in the city to let him know the
earliest date for which he could secure
seats. The next day when he was away
from home the following telegram was
delivered there, addressed to him. but
opened by his wife: !.
Nothing doing with the widow until
the tenth. Will that suit you?"
Explanations were demanded.-Lip-

REPORT ON PETITION
sTRATTON ON EXCEPTIONS IN RAIL-
 WAY CASES.
PerfunctOFy Proceedings fin Noted Ltt- iEatiOn ts Marked With Inter- est--SOuth and North Maker
 of Petition.

Special Master Asa E. Stratton, Of the United States Circuit Court for the Middle District of Alabama, yesterday filed with Judge Thomas c. Jones his report in the matter of the exceptions which were interposed in the petition of the South and North Alabama Rail- road Company for an injunction against the sheriffs and solicitors of the coun- ties and judicial circuits of the State relative to the railroad laws passed at the special session of the 1907 Leg islature.
 It is understood that very shortly the report for the other carriers that applied for a similar blanket injunc- tion will be filed also.
 When application was made by the railroads to the Federal Court in Mont somery for the amendment of their preliminary injunction Issued last March against the Railroad Commis" sion, the counsel for sheriffs ana so- licitors who were enjoined from en- forcing the rate laws, filed their an- swer to the complaint. To this answer the railroads interposed exceptions and 1t was for the consideration of the exceptions that Master A. D. Stratton was appointed.
 The report yesterday. which Is a voluminous affair, is regarded as mere ly a perfunctory proceeding and is practically the same as was made last spring when the original injunction suits were fought out before Judge Jones. Then the injunction decree was against the Railroad Commission.
 The decision of Judge Jones on the cases now pending between the car- riers and the States officers is expect ed to be forthcoming shortly.

 Kansas City. March 2e.--General Richard c. Horne was acquitted of the charge of murdering H. E. Groves, managing editor of The Kansas City Post, by a jury in the Criminal Court here tonight. The verdict stated that General Horne was insane when he shot Groves and that he has not fully re- covered. and commits him to an esy- lum.

 Groves died a week later from the effect of hts wounds. Woodward re- covered.
 1t was the contention of the defense that General Horne was insane at the time of the shooting. a condition brought on by the fact that he had put everything he possessed into The Post and lost not only his situation, but his money, the position paying $25 a week and which was his only means of live lihood.
 General Horne was a Brigadier Gem eral on the staff of Governor William I. Stone. He was one of the oldest and best known editors in Missouri and comes from a splendid family. He was nrominent in Democratic politics for many years. The case was given to the jury at midnight last night. but the jurors were so fatigued that they re- tired and only began voting this morn ing
