Herman was a man of excellent education
and for that reason he was entrusted by
Governor Stuyvesant of New Amsterdam
with many an important mission. He was
the man who drew the first map of Mary
land. one copy of which is still preserved
in the British museum and another at
Richmond in the archives of the state of
Virginia. Herman worked OH this map for
ten years and when he presented the fin
ished product to Lord Baltimore the latter
was so pleased with the work that he en-
dowed him with 10000 acres of land In Cecil
county MarylG nd, which estate to this day
Is known as The Bohemian Manor"
The second OF these Bohemian emil
grants. Phillips, was likewise a man Of
prominence and he. as well as his descend
ants, played a prominent part in the de-
velopment of New Amsterdam. He was the
owner OF many large estates. one OF which,
the so-called Great Highlands now COM
prises the whole Of Putnam county, New
York, Phillips lies buried In SLEEPY Hol-
low" cemetery next to Washington Irving,
IL Will be interesting to know that George
Washington was at one time engaged 10 a
granddaughter of Phillips, but in the tumult
of the struggle for independence seems TO
have forgotten her. She later married a
Colonel Morrison.

the old country. Many Bohemian patriots
especially during the stormy year, lS4S'
sought refuge beyond the sea to avoid
the consequences Of their patriotic zeal
The courts were showing no mercy to those
who were charged with political crimes
and when, later, the government OF Aus
tria passed into hands unfriendly to Bo-
henha every patriotic act was condemned
as treason to Austria. This distressing con-
dltlon, which was only added to by the loss
of Bohemian lives and property in the Aus
tro- Prussian war of 1866. became so des-
perate as to force many 10 leave the old
country and It was but natural that they
should turn their faces toward the United
States, then especially prominent as land
of free people
Poverty is. nowadays, the cause Of the
greater portion OF the immigration TO this
country. This poverty is largely the re-
suit OF inattention on the part of the Aus
trian government to the welfare OF certain
parts of Bohemia, especiall the southern
and eastern parts. This, coupled with I'M
bearable taxation, has been the cause OF
many OF the best citizens OF those portions

long had the same provision, and to this
fact also Governor Draper pointed with

In addition TO the phones at stations and

a freight train might be held on a siding

Of Bohemia deserving their native land for
America.
1t is impossible to give the exact number
of Bohemian immigrants to the United
States as the immigration bureau enrolled
many of them Austrians. However, tax
ing into consideration the immigrants from
Moravia and Silesia, the Austrian provinces
where the Bohemian language is spoken the
total number OF Bohemians in the United
States is estimated at 562, 900, of which 232,-
900 are foreign born. 1t Ia worthy of note
that these figures are almost equally di-
vided between men and women, which
shows that Bohemian Immigrants have come
to this country to stay. and not to raise
money and then, with purse we'll filled,
return to their own country.
The latest report of the commissioner Of
immigration shows only 2 per cent Of
Bohemian immigrants illiterate, as COM
pared with per cent of Germans and still
greater number of other Municipalities. AS
to the criminal record there never has been
a Bohemian executed in this country
1t is in the farming districts that the
Bohemians have attained the greatest de-
gree of success II is there that we can
best see the great share they had in build
ing up the United states Accustomed TO
hard labor they ever willing to undergo
the hardships of pioneer life. and there Is
a saying that II anyone wrest a crop

The strong antagonism between the two
camps of Bohemians in this country, the
Catholic and the non-Catholic, who call
themselves free-thinkers. has always pre-
vented the formation of anything approach
ing a national organization. The meeting
held here last week was one of the very
earliest meetings in which Catholic and
non-Cotholies factions have united to make
a success and the very success of the local
meeting is apt to have a great deal to do
with final burylng of religious differ
ences and the formation OF a national Boz
hemian society.
The action which the local meeting took
toward the better education for Bohemian
children is not a, novel one to these people.
They have always been a we'll educated
and an education-loying people, and as a
consequence many Bohemians are promi-
nent in the United States today in the dit
ferent professions.
Wherever II is possible the Bohemian
Catholics, impelled not only by love Of their
tongue, but we'll by love of their faith,
have built up schools in charge of nuns.
