VOTING STATISTICS

An idea of the growth of immigra-
ton to the United States is had from
a glance at census statistics which
show that while the foreign born male
voters are in the minority us whole,
they have majority in the cities. The
men OF voting age in the United States
number about 27,oO0,000. The number
of voters in the United States in 1910
constituted 23.4 per cent Of the en-
tire population of the country. The

cities of 25,O0O or more inhabitants rep
resent almost one-third of the total

A Story Of La Fontaine.

La FoEtaine used to denounce the
stage "aside" as utterly inartistic and
dnadmissible. In Jean de la Fon-

Boileau.

Boileau tried to arrest his attention by
repeating over and over again in loud
tones. Ia Fontaine must he pretty

tame took no notice Of all this abuse.
At last they all burst out laughing.

The big mass meeting which will be
held at the Auditorium theater Fri
day night has disturbed the Taft lead
ers. The auditorium theater, it is said
has been engaged for Monday night,
the day before the convention. An
enthusiastic demonstration by the
Roosevelt managers is the last thing
the Taft managers want to see at pres
ent.
To add to the woes of the Taft man
ayers there came reports to Chicago
today that two of the Taft delegates
in New York publicly had kicked over
the traces. The drift toward the
colonel is having a material effect on
the southern delegates and this will
diminish the chances of President
Taft's nomination.

DISASTER AT EAGLE PARK
ara River at Eagle Park, Near Buffalo, by Dock Col
 Iapsing at Night.

Buffalo, N. Y, June 25.-Ffve bodies and list of IS missing persons were brought here by the medical examiner from the scene of last nights disaster at Eagle Park, on the west shore of Grand Island, about ten miles below Buffalo, where more than 100 persons were thrown into the Niagara River by the collapse of an excursion dock.
 The identified dead are: Mrs. Ar. thur Mayer, Mrs. John Hayes, Mrs. Lillie Kellogg, Celia Kelly, g years old, and Mrs. Agnes s. Gallagher.
 In the terror and confusion of the accident, families became separated, those listed as missing may be found. There seems little doubt however, that the list of dead will be at least 20.
 George Richmeyer, who lost his wife and 10-year-old son, saw them carried clear of the wreckage by the current that sweeps past the dock at the rate of ten miles an hour. He was cling ing to pile, holding his infant son in his arms, and could do nothing to save the other members of his family. George Mckee, who also lost his wife and infant son, saw them go down in the mass of struggling people. The section of the dock which gave way was about 50 feet in length, and 25 feet in width.
 The medical examiner who examin- ed the wreCkage at dawn found that many of the broken blanks were rot ten, and that directly beneath the col lapsed portion of the structure there were no supporting piles.
 Boats were sent down the river from Eagle Park to recover bodies. A mile below the landing there is a reef run ming several hundred feet out into the river, which, with shore swing of the current, forms natural basin, and into this it is believed the bodies will be carried.
 The excursionists were members and friends of Court Ampherst Lodge, No. 232, Foresters of America, who were on their annual outing. They were taken to Eagle Park on board the steamer Henry Koerber and the barge Lottie Koerber The boats were warp ing into the dock to take on passen- gers for the return trip when the crowd began to gather on the dock.
