It would be highly beneficial to both countries if there could be concerted prompt and efficient action in dealing with the encouragement of agricultural pur- suits in the United States and In It. ally.
 The return of a considerable num- Der Of Italians afflicted with tuber- culosis might temporarily decrease the immigration to this country. but this should scarcely be regretted, Sta tistics show that during the year 1910 the number of Italian immigrants in the United States has reached the fig ure of 222.O00. And Senator Villari in one of his articles points out, there are in Italy 28,000 agents for the steamship companies arttf1cially fos- tering emigration. This Is to the loss of both countries. for Italy cannot af- ford to lose it's citizens in such num- bers, and New York, where the ma jority of them stop, is in no way ready to receive them. The state and the country as a whole will have to suffer from the excessive congestion, and anything that will, if only tempo rarily, check immigration will in ev- cry way benefit the United States.

LYRIC THEATRE

Commencing with a matinee today, the Dorner Stock actors, with Miss June Agnott, will be seen in an en- tirely different play from that of last week, Master and Slave, four act romance of Massachusetts coast life, in which Miss Agnott will have a splendid opportunity of showing her ability as chara cter soubrette, which is in reality her principal line of work, and in which she is seen at her best. Each member of this excellent com- pany is most happily cast, and in parts that fit them perfectly. In Master and Slave, the audience will find a play that is natural throughout, true to nature. and at no time getting be- yond what is possible and plausible. in the unfolding of the four act nar- rative. It may be termed compan- ion piece to James A. Herne's forever success, 'Shore Acres, inasmuch as it's scenes of action occur in almost the same section, and it's vivid charac- terizations are quite similar to those of the celebrated Herne play. The company have been in active rehearsal of Master and Slave" for the past week, and under the careful direction of that expert, MT. Joseph D. Clifton, are in readiness to give perfect per- formance. The splendid business dur ing the first week of this new favorite company was most gratifying, and plainly demonstrated that the manage ment have felt the pulse of the peo- pie and have met all requirements. This week will no doubt prove to be a record breaker, as it follows play that gave the best of satisfaction to big audiences. The schedule of prices are just right to suit all classes, both for matinee and night performances The daily changed motion pictures which are shown between acts are al- ways an attractive feature at the Lyric, and serve to make it a con- tirfuous two and a half hour show, without waits

HIGHER POSTAL
 SALARIES
Mir. Hitchcock Arranges to Pay
 More to Clerks and Carriers

Washington, July "A Postmaster General Hitchcock has issued orders for the payment of about $1,20O,0O0 for the promotion of post office clerks dur ing the cuWent fiscal year and of about $60O,0 ,00O for the promotion of city letter carriers He has also arranged for promotion in the railway mail service during the year that will aggregate about $175, 900. The four great groups of postal employees, city post office clerks, railway mail clerks, city letter carriers and rural letter carriers, will receive during the fiscal year begun July 1 last advances in pay aggregat- ing more than s6,000,000. N/
 Mr. Hitchcock favors liberal com pensation for employees of the postal service, believing that the larger ex- penditures thus made are invariably offset by increased efficiency. Now that the department is showing for the first time in many years a surplus of receipts over expenditures he feels that it can well afford to make gen. erous distribution of it's salary fund. It is his belief that the s6,0O0,000 to be thus expended will prove a good in- vestment for the service.

The county council In session Tues
day and Wednesday made appropria-
ton of $4,000 for new Brownlee
bridge in Plymouth.
Judge Hess appeared before the
council on behalf of the city coun-
Gil of Plymouth and explained both
the law and the necessity for the
bridge, and there was on noely
vote against the proposed appro-
priation, that of Mr.. Snyder. II
was shown that Plymouth pays
more taxes for the building OF
bridges in other townships than
those townships do themselves.
The matter is now with the COM
missioners and they will advertise
for bids and in all probability let
a contract at their next term.
The council considered seriously
the approposition of $1,000 for the
purchase of voting machines, but
concluded to postpone action until
their September term.
