The applicants were first lined up with their witnesses and the latter asked the usual questions in re- gard to the time they were acquainted with the applicant and then they were excused and the applicant lined up for his examination.
 After the applicants had been group Judge Lockwood delivered to them short talk on what the oath of ale glance meant that was to be given them and stated that before he did administer the oath he wanted them to understand that the United States government wanted no hyphenated citizens, that they wanted no German Americans, no Austrian-Americans no English-Americans, or any other of that class and that they only wanted those who intended to become Ameri- can citizens and forever give up their native land, to take the oath. He ask ed if there was any of the applicants that did not want to become citizens under those circumstances to make it know and they would be excused, but none signified their intentions in that direction. They were all given to understand that the taking of the oath meant what was said to them and that if they violated it, they might be punished therefor.
 All of the applicants were asked if they had read the constitution of the United States or had it read to them, and they all replied that they had. They were then given a short examin- ation in regard to their knowledge of the constitution ana the law of the eountry as to how they are made, etc. The examination of the applicants took up all of the time of the court yesterday.

The Dollar Sign of Prosperity.

In enumerating the why the United
States should be favored with considerable
measure of prosperity before the year is out, an
important one has been reduced to tangible terms
OF dollars by those who deal in statistics This is
represented by the American money that Will not
be spent by tourists in Europe this summer. Care
full and conservative estimates place the amount
expended for first and second class steamship &C
commodations in each OF the recent years at
Sc 900 ooo and these figures quite justify the
further calculation that Americans have been in
the habit OF spending annually something like
81 90 100000 more in travel, luxurious living and
purchases in Europe.
As the direct result of the this large
amount is to be kept this side OF the Atlantic
this year. Neither the Democratic administration
nor its opponents claim credit for this I'M
portant conservation OF the countrys wealth 1t
material benefit that through disaster
to Europe Not all OF this great sum will be
spent here this summer. but doubtless consider
able portion of it will be, and all of it will be
kept in the country. this year at least A part OF
the S25.oooooo that has been going to foreign
steamship companies will be spent in travel on
American railroads; American hotels will profit
from the presence OF careless, pleasure seek
ing countrymen who have been pouring their
wealth into the Golfers of European hostelrics the
receipts of the California expostionS will be swol
len and the Pacific Coast benefited; all the North
crn and Eastern summer resorts will flourish as
never before. and more luxuries will doubtless be
purchased wherever the summer rovcrs seek amusc

seekers are considerably less than they accus-
toned to make abroad it would seem though
there must be marked beneficial effect from the

more than $1,000 per annum for long days OF work,

Steel Indushy's Revival.

The epigrammatic remark Of Mr.. Carnegie that

the statement published this morning of the United
States Steel Corporation earnings for the first
quarter of the current year.
In the aggregate they much smaller than
for the corresponding three months of the current
year. but the significant fact is that the earnings
for March are twice as large as those for Febru-

Students of economies regard the steel and iron

Few people will quarrel with the decision
handed down by that New York justice who threw
out Of court the suit of the young workman who
married the daughter OF his rich employer and
then sued her parents for $2soooo damages for
alienation of her affections. The court held in
effect IT is not necessary for parents in order to
escape a suit for alienation, to treat daughter
unkindy or close their doors to her after her mar
rage. An abc-bodied young man putting price
on his wife's affections and going into court to
collect can hardly lay claim to public sympathy,
though in this case the youth was probably the
victim of bad advice.
