ALIEN CRIMINALS.
Many Of Them Manage to Land on
American Soil.

On every vessel sailing from Paler-
mo or Naples are dozen or more
members of the Camorra or the Malta,
! employed as sailors, coal beavers and
stewards. says Everybody's Maga-
zine. It is their fraternal duty to aid
their bretheren to evade the passport
law. IF there are six or more mem
bers Of a ships company earnestly
! desirous of concealing a stowaway,
the think can always be done. There
are recorded instances here a stow
away has been hunted for three
hours b. twenty men. after all the
officers and crew have been sent a.
shore, and has remained undiscover-
ed in a mattress in bunk.
When the steamship has tied up at
her birth in an American port, the
fugitive puts on the uniform Of over
alls of one Of his confederates and
easily makes his way off the pier. And
thus, seasoned and hardened criml-
ual, his blood-stained hands against
all the world as the world s hands
are against him, he is turned loose in
the land Of the free and the home OF
the brave. Every steamship map
concerned in the Mediterranean trade
knows something about the system:
one of them has admitted these facts
Il is the theory Of the professional
policeman Of America that the Italian
criminal comes to us through France
and Canada. That is nonsense; he
has neither the intelligence nor the
means.
The ex-convict has the New York
address Of one OF more former mem
Ders of his society in Italy. He
MAKES his way to this address as
quickly as he may. He is without
work and in strange country. 1t
honest work for him at once. But
usually it is not so. He becomes,

"Gentlemen,'' said the drummer Of

around on the half dozen men who
were asking him for the latest story,
II believe I have felt about 400 diff
ferent feelings in my life, and. the
balmiest one of all was the feeling
I had something coming to me, and
would get it if I stayed on the road
long enough.
"And have you got it?" was asked.

told me pitiful story and wanted me
to buy his diamond ring. The game is
older than the hills, and [ was on
in minute. Bogus story and bogus
diamond. Willing to sell me a 5000
ring for $50. I asked him where the
green spot was in my eye, and while
I was pluming myself the man in the
other part of the section pulled out
three tens and pocketed the ring. Did
I look down upon him with pity and
contempt? Did [ smile? Did I grin
Did I ask him where his guardian
was? Oh, yes-oh, yes, and he
speaks up and claims that the stones
were diamonds and the ring we'll
worth 200 plunks. It nettled me to
see the ass 50 cock-sure and to hear
him say that of course I was no judge
of diamonds and I put up $50 that
he'd been done for. The conductor
held the money, and when we got into
town. we made for a jewelry store.
We took in four Of 'em before I laid
down. Same story in each place-ring
worth $780,

"Of course, you camel. Seller and

excuse would have been made to head
me off. Yes, gents that's what was

it I feel relieved, and if any Of you

Congressman Levers Good Work.

To the Editor Of The Sunday

fact that the farmers Of the whole
country, and South Carolina in par
ticular, owe to- Congressman Lever
for his efforts in having potash salts
put on the free list a debt Of graft
tude which they should endeavor to
pay by every means in their power;
not only by personal expressions Of
their appreciation, but by giving him
continued support when he asks for
it. Putting potash on the free list
will save to this State alone not less
than $23O,OO0 to $300,O00 per year, or
$3,0O0,000 in ten years, and this enor-
nous saving to the farmers has been
secured by the splendid efforts Of Mr..
Lever almost alone. / cast no ref1ec-

doubt they helped him much but Mr..
Levers winning personalities and his
evident high purposes win for him

how much more sorely is the United
States oppressed by fire and the evils
that attend it. And the worst Of it
is that his loss, in great part, is
needless and superfuOus; incredibly
and idiotically stupid and short
sighted.
Europe proves so much. No nation
there but would be appalled, at such
a fire bill as ours. If the forty-nine
principal cities Of Europe there is
less than one fire annually (96, to be
exact) to every thousand inhabitants.
In this country We maintain gener
al average Of four and a half fires
per thousand persons. The per capita
loss by flames in Italy is II cents
yearly; in Germany, 49 cents; in
thirty Of the largest European cities,
81 cents, and in 252 American cities
the per capita destruction averages
$3.1O. Boston, in may respects the
most scientifically administered and
municipality progressive city in this
country, has yearly bill Of million

ilized nations in the world. Nothing

TWO Veterans. Gone.


Comrade Wallace NJ. Hoffner, Post 2,
Philadelphia, sends pathetic account
of the death of two veterans, which
took place on Saturday, Aug. 28. 1909,
in Philadelphia. They were Elisha and
John Jones'. Elisha Jones. the father,
was almost 80 years OF age, and his
son was SIS years old. The son had
been very i'll, and there was hope for
h recovery. The father was falling
from general. debility. and they disliked
very much to tell him of his sons
death, but some of the relatives of the
family came into his room crying, and
he asked what they were crying about
He was informed that his son had re-
ceived his final muster-out. The poor
old veteran, grief-strieken, sobbed soft
ly to himself, then quietly sank to sleep,
which proved to be his last one. Com
rade Hoffner' in speaking of the two
men said: f'It is still fresh in my mind
when Comrades Jones and myself
served in the same regiment, the 29th
Pa, covering 4 period from the Spring
of 1862 in the Valley of the Shenan-
doah to the Spring of 1865 in the
swamps and marshes of the Carolinas.
The record of the goth Pa. is their
record from beginning to end, as we
all served from the time of the muster
in in 1851 until the close of the war.
John was 16 years old then, and his
father was past 40. John was a pris-
oner in Belle Isle while his father was
fighting at Gettysburg. Both were with
Gen, Sherman on his march to the sea.
The funeral was attended by an extra
ordinarily large number Of the surviv-
ors of the regiment, there being "a, in

heroes, father and son. were surround
ed by perfect bed of flowers and, in
for nearly so years in the
service of their country and elsewhere,
they were not separated in death. Their
lives seemed to be welded one into the
other. 1t is well that taps were sound
