We have force Of about 1000 men who
are engaged in guarding the ports and
our boundaries, to keep out those whom
the law forbids landing. These are, as
you know, all those who have contagious
diseases, all who are mentally weak. all
who have been criminals in the countries
from where they came, and all who are
paupers and unable to support them
selves. We turn about 5000 such i'm
migrants back every year, and although

What causes the immigrants to come
To tho Tinted Sfates?'
THE number increases or decreases
with good or bad times. Just now the
country is prosperous, and foreigners
come here to get the high wages and
better conditions Of living. The inmtgra-
ton Is also largely a matter of freight.

companies and the railroads In order
that they may receive the passage money
for carrying the immigrants here"

close of the civil war. Said he

tations to attend even the celebrations
intended to honor her hero husband
This has been particularly true for the
past ten years. When the idea of cele-
brattng the fftieth anniversary of the
battles fought during the war between
the states originated she was invited to
be the star guest. But she asked to be
allowed to refuse such honors. Like the
majority OF widows of soldiers, such an

Joy, and Mrs Sheridan departed in the

When Gen. Sheridan came to reside
permanently in Washington to succeed
Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman as
commander-in-chief Of the army his
grateful country presented him with a
spacious home on Rhode Island avenue
where that thoroughfare runs into a
small triangle near 10Th street. This was
in 1888, and when he had been married
but hve years. This home soon became
a radiating point for the brilliant army
society then at the capital and attracted
other interesting people resident or visit

tons were exceptionally brilliant, Mrs.
Sheridan made an ideal choice for q sol
der who had carved his own fortune as
had Philip Henry Sheridan. He was Of
was achieved on his own merits indie
pendent Of fortune or influential friends. ;.
Mrs Sheridan is Of gentle lineage and
immured in army traditions. Her father,
Gen. Daniel II. Rucker. holds the record
OF having served his country longer than
any man who ever entered the service.
He was q native Of Belleville. N. j.. but
his parents went to Crosse Isle, Mich,
when he was less than eight years of
age and he received nearly all his edu-
cation in Detroit. He had been an of
ficer in the regular army since 1887 and
participated in two great wars. the Next
can and the civil. He commanded
squadron Of cavalry at Buena Vista and
that battle. He figured in many brave
border engagements and Kid Carson was
his friend and comrade. After forty-hve
years Of active service he asked to be
placed on the retired list. This was when
he was more than sixty-two years OF age.
and he came here shortly after and made
Washington his permanent home. He
was for years connected with the War
Department and throughout his long lie
never lost interest in the martial affairs
OF the nation.
Mrs. Sheridan's widowhood was cheered
by the presence OF her father and his
devotion to her children. Though she is
the youngest Of the widows OF the famous
generals. she lived rather a secluded life
for many years after her bereavement.
These years were given principally to the
care Of her children and to a social in
tercourse limited to army friends Of her
family. Though she reigned a queen in
army circles during the life Of her hus-
band, she made no attempt to continue
her sway when left q widow.
For the past five years Mrs Sheridan
has lived more and more secluded. The
family are devout Catholics and attend

Phil. That she is Mrs. Sheridan, last
OF the widows OF the great generals, is
known to all within the radius of many
streets. She has lived in this home little
more than three years. but the neighbor-
hood is filled with memories Of Mrs Ulys-
ses 8. Grant, who lived for years a street
or two lower down Massachusetts, avenue
and was we'll prepared to welcome the
widow OF Little Phil" Then the naming
OF the circle after her husband and her
determination to erect home where she
could always view his statue make a spe-
cial appeal.
There are many widows still living in
the south who bear honored names in
martial annals-Mrs. Stonewall jackson
Mrs. J. e. B. Stuart and others of less
degree But of the northern generals
only Mrs. Sheridan and Mrs. Mcclellan
remain, and Mrs. Mcclellan never pos
