CANADIANS IN THE UNlTE(

Magazine and special writers in newspapers have been busy of recent years telling of the vast and continu. ous emigration of American citizens into the Canadian northwest. But al Icost nothing has been said or written arout Canadian immigration into the Uni'ed States.
 The commissioner of immigration O. the Rock Island-Frisco lines now brings forward careful compilation showing that during the fiscal year ended June 90, 1908, more people came into the United States from Canada than emigrated from this country to Canada. The balance, how ever, is slight, for reports of the com laissiopers of immigration of the two countries show that during the year JO ,S6O went from the Onlteu SIaleS .yto Canada, while jS,S26 emigrated from Canada to the United States.

windswept reaches of the Potomac river

to the White House, where the President
waved a farewell and disappeared.
So far as could be discovered, no secret
service men lowered in the immediate
vicinity of the party during the walk.

PARADES AND SPEAKING
SHOW THE ENTHUSIASM
City Was Apparently Unanimous in Its
Jubilation Over the Singing
Rebuke Administered
to Self-Seekers.

There was one long joyful shout IN
front of The Age-Herald building last
night From the announcement of the
vote in Gate City at $50 o'clock until
the 5000 majority was flashed, the vast
throng of men shouted themselves hoarse.
The enthusiasm increased with every
report.
The whole block was packed with
thousands of people, who stood there
five hours and even then went home un-
willingly. A canvas was stretched across
the Bell Telephone building, ana as fast
as the dispatches came in over the wires
from various parts of the state the news
was given to the eager mines below.
Then gradually the majority in Jeffer-
son county grew larger and larger and
the people grew wilder in their enthusi-
asm. Occasionally Blackman would en-
terrain his audience with a cartoon or
..Soueakley'' in tears or Brooks Law
renee returning to Ohio and the uproar
which followed was deafening.
When "Ko-mo" was pictured in Chi
nese garb saying, Me for China the
noise of his farewell must have served
as his herald to the other side of the
world Then big black Mandy was there
to saw This sho' is er great victory.
AS the enthusiasm of the crowd IN
creased parties were former, and going
out after the leaders who nave oeeh
prominent in the campaign, they placed
them on an automobile and crowded
around to hear them speak. Under such
circumstances oratoy was spontaneous
and the effect immediate Bowman, Mel
son and dozen others made short STIR
ing talks. There were parades with hags
and beating of drums
All were wreathed in smiles. Faces or
men who had spoken on the musings III
nearly every county fairly beamed WIFI
delight. The men who bore the orunt OIL
the battle met at 1870 o'clock, shook
hands and went home to SOUND steep.
Few such crowds have ever gathered

been so unanimous in their approval Oh

remarkable political campaign that the

hypocritical oligarchy, deliberate falsif-

The Servant in the House, a play
by Charles Ram Kennedy, which has
been widely discussed and has been re-
markably successful on the stage, was
presented for the first time In Birming-
ham at the Jefferson theatre last night
by superior company. The play is
frankly didactic and allegor1cas, too, In
way yet It is so novel in its concep-
ton and withal so daring, that the gen.
eral impression is one of great power
in the presentation of some strong
truths, rather unpleasant though they pc.
1t Is a vivid arraignment of certain
phases of life, dealing most particularly
with clergical hypocrisy and lies parad-
ing under a sanctimonious exterior There
is no denying that such a disguise is
quite capable of covering a multitude of
sins, not the least of which is greed
and another of which is pride of sta
ton.
The play is so well known-r has been
published as a book and has been the
theme of numerous more or less learned
dissertations in the magazines and news
papers-that a detailed account of the
plot is hardly necessary at this late date
The servant in the house is Manson, a
butler, who is a thinly yelled presentment
of Christ and it was this daring inno-
walton which at first created such a SEN
sation when the play was presented in
New York. There is a despicabe old
bishop who is the epitome of all that
a bishop should not be, a clergyman
who is cropping for the light in darkness
his proud and ambitious wife who is
worldly. young girl who does not know
her father, that father a rough member
of drains, blighted by dissipation and
sorrow. and the butler The servant in
the house by his doctrine of fraternity
brings about regeneration in that house,
hold. The false bishop is driven out the
clergyman and his wife see the error of
their ways, the father and daughter are
reunited and the father finds his life
work
The company is excellent Tyrone
Power gave a magnificent performance
as the Robert Smith, 1aborer. David
Glassford as the clergyman and Edith
Crane as the clergyman's wife gave a
good account of themselves, both play
ing opposite roles in clear cut way.

variety. Wifred Roger in the important
part of Manson, the butler, while sensible
OF the requirement OF the role he played,

issue.
There was little intimidation. Practic-

was going to vote on the amendment
and nothing could swerye him from his
views
1t is notable that the general order

Ropes were stretched at each place to

The Age-Herald, by virtue of a false
statement and of several telephone mes
sages, unfortunately printed the wrong
name in the statement yesterday morn
ing of the visit of two policemen, Off
GERS Moore and Leonard, to a board
ing house on Fifth avenue, where they
expected to find a blind tiger in oper-
alton.
The facts of the visit as printed in
The Age-Herald by the two onieers are
accurate in all particulars except in the
statement that Officer Moore was under
the Influence of liquor; and unfortunate
ly the wrong name of the lady who kept
the boarding house was printed.
The house visited by the officers was
that of Mrs. j. T. Thomas of zoos Fifth
avenue. The Age-Herad was deceived
over the telephone in making the state
ment that the house visited was that
of Mrs. M. f. Cowan at 2015 Fifth ave-
nue.
IT was unfortunately one of those
stories which are given out in such guise
that the reporter of The Age-Herald
who wrote the story believed It to be
absolutely accurate and believed his con-
versation was with Mrs. Cowan It was
not apparently either Mrs. Cowan or
Mrs Thomas, but it is fact that Mrs
Thomas residence was visited and the
conversation between Mrs. Thomas and
Officer Moore occurred In the bed room
of Mrs. Thomas; and OFFICER Moore states
also that he took off his hat upon en-
tering the room and did place the same
tion with Mrs. Thomas
Yesterday the reporter of The Age-Her-
aid who wrote the story and Officer
Moore called upon Mrs Cowan and ex-
