An Enslishman In Philadelphia.

Il was in Philadelphia the other
lay" said an Englishman resident in
New York, land having little leisure
to dispose of and also some curiosity
to be satisfied / took passage on one
of those rubberneck vehicles and list
ened to the professor in charge. He
told us great lot of things about the
town that were quite interesting and
unknown in New York, but the most
remarkable information he gave us
was about the large statue of the late
William Penn at the top of the city
hall tower. He said the nose of the
figure was IL inches long and if it
were an inch shorter the nose would
be foot. Most of the sightseers
laughed, but why? 1t seems to me
that if Mr.. Penn had a foot growing
out of his face it would not only be
quite unbecoming bat would really
be misfortune"

STEAMSHIP LINES RESPONSIBLE.
Must Pay for Hospital Treatment of Sick
Aliens Who Arrive Here.

Washington, Oct 15-The administration of the
immigration laws especially at New York is af-
fected by decision rendered by the Controller of
the Treasury to-day that the European steamship
companies responsible for the treatment in hos
pitfalls OF aliens who are i'll when they arrive in the
United States
ITO hold that the expense of furnishing hospital
treatment to aliens who are sick when they arrive
is proper charge against the appropriation for the
expenses OF regulating immigration would in eff
feet make the alien a public charge Immediately
upon arrival. the Controller SAYS. II do not think
that Congress intended any such of the appro-
priation. That appropriation is not available for
the payment Of expenses incurred in the treatment
in hospitals of aliens arriving at the seaports Of
the country
