Americanization By REV. DR. R. S. MacARTHUR, Pastor Calvary Baptist Church, New York. I Tidal waves of immigration are breaking upon our shores. During the fiscal year recently closed the number of immigrants pushed up well toward 1,000,000. Every steamer coming into port brings great numbers. Prosperous times in America in variably greatly increase the number of immigrants. tOur country has shown a miraculous capacity for assimilating and absorbing the hetrogeneous ele ments seeking a home in America. A providential chemistry has largely neutralized the toxic features and greatly stimulated the tonic qualities in enormous immigrations of past years. At times it has seemed as if it would be impossible for us to digest the dangerous im migrants who by their numbers and their ignorartce threaten the very life of the American republic. These fears led patriotic Americans, as early as 1842, to aim for stringent naturalization laws, so as to reduce the political power of ignorant immigrants. The recent marvelous expansion in American life has given a cos mopolitan character, socially, racially, politically and religiously, alto gether unknown in our earlier history. We must, however, teach the old world that it cannot empty its poorhouses and prisons by dumping its paupers, anarchists and other criminals on American soil. America is worthy the best immigrants which all countries can furnish. Plans should be at once adopted to distribute this large immigration to the unsettled portions of our country. These foreigners tend constantly to the great cities, and especially to those along the Atlantic coast. Al though only about one-third of the entire population is foreign by birth or parentage, in the large cities it is often two-thirds. In New York there is often heard a perfect Babel of tongues. The public school must have its full influence in Americanizing the children of foreigners. Private schools lead to the segregation of for eigners and in this way racial prejudices, religious antipathies and for eign languages are perpetuated. Lectures under the auspices of the public schools system atid under the direction of patriotic political clubs ought to be given in all the cities. Missionary teachers must seek out these foreigners, teachers going with the American constitution in one hand and the Bible in the other hand. 1 he Gospel of the blessed God is the only hope of humanity in every land. We used to send missionaries to foreign lands; now many of the people of these lands are coming to America. We now can do the work of foreign missions at our own doors. The impulses of a common humanity, the duty of American patriotism and the promptings of our holy religion should lead us to Americanize and religionize the swarms of foreigners seeking a home and a nobler life and a grander future under the American flag. Meaning of"lVork" and "Labor" By DR. EDWARD EVERETT HALE, Author of "A Man Without a Country." m WROTE to Powderly when he started the Knights of Labor that there were two difficulties in his title. First, that they were not "knights," and second, that they did not care any thing about "labor." The truth is that the moment we get a day laborer who can contribute nothing but his muscle and weight, as an ox might do, or a mule, we do not respect JUjOpTU his labor. On the other hand, we try to get rid of it; we £&> Cld! i ntr °duce a drilling machine instead of the hand drill of 30 years ago, and we extend our activity by machinery, which shows the triumph of mind over matter. When you goto a meeting of a lodge and some fellow says he is also "a laboring man." that he labors in his office 11 hours a day and all that, you know that he is a demagogue talking for effect. But if he said he was at work for mankind or for God, why, you would listen to him with some sort of sympathy. "Work" is the using of the matter by spirit, while "labor" involves mere physical endeavor. I think we should help matters if we could make men understand that civilization consists in having workmen who use their brains instead of laborers who use their bodies. The American Husband By GERTRUDE ATHERTON, Noted English Novelist and Essayist. Baasercrrm EYOND a doubt, it is in the huge bulk of the middle class, IJ I both in and out of the strenuous cities, that not only the [ "typical" husband is to be found, but the largest measure of domestic contentment. Imgl ln t iesc millions of respectable homes, just above the grind and pinch of poverty, many a man is common, over bearing, selfish, dull, but the mass of him lives an even and l amiable life, moderately indulgent to his family, and repay ing the unintermittent sacrifices of his wife with much con sideration, even while accepting them as inevitable. He loves his home and takes a deep interest in his children, being rot above walking the floor with them at night, nor wheeling them in the perambulator. If he works unceasingly, it is to educate them prop erly, and leave his family provided for at his death. There may be an occasional scene when bills come in, for the Amer ican man expects the impossible of the American wife, more in the mat ter of economics than is in the power of mortal woman outside of F ranee. The Boy and the Farm By GOV. ODELL, of New York. """"lfi TOO often look upon the toil incident to farming as mere ; Ml I drudgery, and perhaps unwisely by too early putting the boys fl to work we have instilled into their minds a distaste for farm " a life, beyond question. ffflZggLil Our laws have been framed to prevent the too early Iffii employment of the young in otir manufacturing pursuits, and I have often thought that if perhaps the same consideration were given to the boys upon the farm there would be less of attraction in the glamour of city life, less desire to yield to the temptations for the great acquisition of wealth. Habits formed in early life are apt to be lasting, and, therefore, association with others is more likely to produce results which are desir able but which are not possible when there is a lack of ""Wlt'T'"' 1 "". or a hindrance to social and business education. . , ;.r ■ CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1903. THE AX FALLS. Com .lien Lute OlHee a* a Iteaillt of Jlr. ltrla(oiv , » Heport ol" Irrcjguluri lle» In I'ontolllee Department. Washington, Oct. 22.— Postmaster General Payne 011 Wednesday re moved from office Michael W. Louis, superintendent of supplies of tlie postofliee department; l.ouis Kenip ner, chief of the registry division of the third assistant postmaster gen eral's office, and C. H. Terry, a SOOO clerk in the post office department, and directed the postmaster at New York to remove Otto Weiss, a clerk. These removals are the tirst result of Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen eral Hristow's report 011 the irregu larities in the post office department. The postmaster general made an official announcement of his action as follows: "Michael W. Louis has been re moved from the office of superin tendent of the division of supplies be cause the recent investigation shows th"' he influenced the awarding of e< itraets for supplies to favored b'j ders; that he has been extr .gant and was neglectful in t> .iini.uis tration of his office; an iiat lie has paid excessive prices for supplies to favored contractors. "Louis Kempner, superintendent, registry system, lias been removed for incompetent anil negligent admin istration; for wasteful and reckless extravagance in sending expensive manifold registration books to a large number of small fourth class post offices; and for violating the rev enue laws by a system of petty smug g! i n g. "C. I>. Terry, a clerk in the division of supplies, has been removed for making false affidavits; attempting to obtain money from clerks under the guise that he could influence their promotions, and general inefficiency." The postmaster general also stated that the postmaster at New York has been directed to remove Otto Weis, a clerk in the New York postoffice, for collecting money from clerks to in fluence legislation and to procure pro motions. In reply to questions, Mr. Payne said the discharges were the result of disclosures made by the Bristow report. HE PLEADED GUILTY. A Saloonkeeper Says He Committed I'erjnry While Texlllylug lor Nam Pa rlt*. New York, Oct. 22.—Bernard Lynch, the saloonkeeper who was one of the witnesses for the defense in the trial of Sam Parks, the labor leader, for extortion, on Wednesday pleaded guilty of perjury and was remanded until Friday for sentence. Lynch was indicted for perjury along with Henry Farley and Tim othy McCarthy after the trial of Parks for extortion, which resulted ill the conviction of the labor lead er. The extortion trial grew out of the charges of Joshua Plenty, a con tractor, who said that he paid S2OO to Parks in Lynch's saloon to call off a strike at the Hamburg-American line pier. Parks' witnesses swore to an alibi for Parks and said that they did not see him in the saloon oil tiie day it was alleged that he received the money. Parks, who was also indicted 011 a charge of perjury, was to have ap peared before Judge Foster yester day. When up to noon he had not ap peared Assistant District Attorney Randall asked the hitter's counsel, James W. Osborne, if he would pro duce Parks in court. Mr, Osborne re plied that he would make no prom ises in the matter. Mr. Bandull then asked inspector McClusky to assign detectives to look for Parks, who is now at liberty under sls,ooo bail. Tlie .7lln«uiii-I Shown (.real Speed. Boston, Oct. 22.—The new battle ship Missouri yesterday proved her self the queen of the seas in lier class in a speed trial trip over the Cape Ann course with weather conditions of a considerably handicapping na ture. Steaming over a course of 3.1 nautical miles and return, the battle ship made an average speed of ls.oj knots per hour, which, with tidal cor rections greatly in her favor, it is be lieved will advance it to 15.22 knots, a new world's record for battleships. The battleship at one time attained a speed of knots per hour. The contract requirements call for IS knots. Decided Againvt sillier. Washington, Oct. 22.- Comptroller of the Treasury Tracewell gave an ad verse opinion yesterday in the appeal taken by W. A. Miller, assistant fore man of the government printing office bindery, from the action of the au ditor for the state and other depart ments, in disallowing the claim put in by him for compensation for the G.'t days of his suspension and dis missal from the government printing office. The comptroller holds that Miller is not an officer, but an em ploye subject to dismissal at tlie pleasure of the public printer, and that, he cannot be paid for work not performed. Archbishop Kuln'n I'nneral. St. Louis, Oct. 22.—With all the pomp and ceremony befitting his high rank in the Roman Catholic church, the remains of Archbishop John J.

DESPERATE STRUGGLE. Two Alli-god PoKtofllce Itobtiern nr« ( iiplurcil on u Train by I'olit'i-iuen —Another Ilesprrurto Knoaped. Isphemiiig, .Mich., Get. 24.—After a desperate struggle with a trio of men suspeeted of robbing 1 the Superior, Wis., postotHce of $15,000 in stamps and money, six Ishpruiing policemen wounded and captured two of tlie men on a train which arrived here Friday. Marshal Fandrem was advised that three men suspected of the post- Otlice robbery were on the train and that the conductor would identify them. The marshal and five otlieers went to West Ishpeming, where the train was boarded. The marshal and two otlieers took the rear of the coach and Officer Patrick Collins with a squad guarded the front. Tlie suspects were on the alert and two of them began firing at the olli eers at tlie rear end of tlie train as soon as they entered. Meanwhile Col lins and his assistants had entered the front of the ear. All were driven back by two of the desperadoes, who threatened to shoot if they advanced another foot. Collins and his men re treated. Finding the rear door of the ear blocked, the robbers ran to the front, where they again met Col lins. One of them raised his revolver to shoot Collins, but the officer fired first, sending a bullet through the man's hand. The wounded man threw up his hands, begging the officers to not kill him. Meanwhile shots were being ex changed between Fandrem and a sec ond suspect. Finally a bullet from the marshal's revolver lodged in the suspect's back and he surrendered, flic third suspect escaped to the woods. Otlieers are now after him. About SIOO was found in the pocnets of the two men. Much of this was in small change. REVIEW OF TRADE. Abnormal Activity No Longer I'rrvulli ill lliivlnena, „ New York, Oct. 24. — K. 0. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Numerous labor controversies have appeared, and more furnaces and mills have closed, the tendency being to operate only the plants provided with the most modern equipment. There is 110 anxiety regarding legisla tion at the special session of congress and, despite the curtailment of ac tivity in many manufacturing lines, a heavy volume of business is being transacted. Western traffic facilities are proving inadequate, the distribution of mer chandise being enormous at the in terior and, taking the country as a whole, conditions may be considered fairly satisfactory, although there are indisputable evidenctft that abnormal activity has received a check. Job bing trade has become more quiet witn the advancing season, and at many points the weather is not cal culated to maintain buying of wear ing apparel at retail. Gross earnings of the railways thus far reported for October surpass last year's by (i.:J per cent. Another general reduction in quo tations of pig iron has occurred, not withstanding the restriction of out put, and a movement is on foot to fur ther reduce production unless busi ness improves. New orders are few • lid limited to immediate require ments, which is also true of finished steel. Not only have additional con tracts failed to be offered, but can cellations of old orders are report ed. Failures this week numbered 27!) in the I nited States, compared with 2;il> last year, and in Canada 20, against 22 a year ago. A deadly ICxploolon, Butler, Pa., Oct. 24. —William Marks was killed and Patrick Hardy fatally injured Friday by an explosion of nitro-glyceriue. The men were ped dlers of notions and had camped in the woods near here. They found an empty can which they supposed had contained maple syrup, from the small bit of sticky substance adher ing to ihe top. Marks sat down with the can between his knees and com menced to cut out the top so as to transform it in a water vessel. The small portion of the nitro-glycerine exploded and Marks' head, hands and feet were blown otT and his body dis emboweled. Hardy had his eyes blown out and the bones in his arms and legs shattered in a dozen places. 4'illlllckx Lone Again. Montreal, Que., Oct. 2-1. Some time ago the Canadian nail manufacturers entered into an agreement with the i nited States Steel Corporation to purchase all the wire rods they re quired from that company. As a re turn for this contract, tiie steel com pany agreed to keep out of the Cana dian nail market. The depression in the (ierman iron market enabled the Canadian manufacturers to buy. under the steel company's price and they availed themselves of it. The day of reckoning came, however, and the of fending manufacturers have now agreed to pay the steel company the amount they saved through their pur chase in the liermfcn market, about $2 per ton. A Collier Im Sentenced. Trenton, N. J., Oct. 24. —In the United States district court yester day (icorge Neyulus was sentenced by Judge Kirkpatrick to ten years in state's prison for counterfeiting. Molds for the making of silver dollars were found under the porch of Neyulus' home in Kli/.abeth.

Tliey Will (ipt lirntz. Washington. Oct. 24.—The state de partment has arranged for the return from Mexico to St. Louis for trial ol the alleged boodl%r, Charles Kratz I'lie constitution of Mexico making it impossible to surrender fugitives from this country charged with bribery committed prior to the nego tiation of the new extradition treaty, the state department has called upon the Mexican government to surrender Kratz as an act of comity, a very un usual proceeding on the part of ihc United Spates'* government. Mexiec has a law allowing fugitives to be sur rendered under such a call. GRAY HAIR AND X-RAY. Another Sensational t'lnlni Tluile for (he Miracle Light Improbability ol' Ita Success. The X-ray seems destined in many Ways to pay the penalty of all sorts of sensational reports i>* to its sup posed efficacy in treating intractable diseases. As might have been ex pected, its claims have been very much exaggerated, even in cases that offered plausible excuses for their possible vindication. The latest news is to the effect that this mysterious agency is capa ble of restoring gray hair to its orig inal color. How such an effect can be brought about no one attempts to explain. Nor would it be wise to offer any reason for it, says the New York Herald, in the face of certain well-known facts connected with the physiology of hair and its anatomi cal character. All very well know that the color of the hair is a part of its nutrition and is dependent upon the secretion of a pigment in certain cells in its substance. When the hair loses its pigment vitality grayness ensues as a natural evolutionary process. The youthful tinge disappears by a com mon law of progressive decay as age advances. The hair itself becomes virtually color dead, and all efforts to restore its former life are admit tedly as futile as similar efforts to revivify other defunct processes. But now the X-ray must come in as an alleged miracle worker and give new hopes for the gray heads. Alas! many of the latter are desper ate enough in their vanity to try any j new thing that may present itself.' To such it may be necessary to sound a note of warning. Even if it should prove to be a fact j that the X-ray can do what is claim ed, the remedy is certainly a danger ous one to become popular, if "sev eral hundred exposures" are required, not only will a great deal of valuable time be lost in the sittings and many fees exacted, but the positive dam ages ensuing after such prolonged treatment are not to be lightly con sidered. How to avoid the terrible X-ray burns, which sometimes occur even with experts is still a great prob lem. Edison, in a recent interview in the Herald, emphasized this fact in a manner not to be misunderstood. Thus there may be a chance, with such as may be determined to try the new thing, for the traditional "old fool" to multiply himself over the land. RESCUED BY KITE. Steeple flliiiber Drought From Peril oils I'osltlon by the Aid ol" a Hoy'a Toy. F. Devillo Sanders, of Belmont, Al legheny county. Pa., climbed the steeple of the Episcopal church in Genesse, N. Y., the other day *o ex amine the damage done by lightning. When he was near the top of the steeple his rope caught so that he could not move up or down, and it was necessary to get another rojie to him. The nearest, place to Sanders that could he renched was 00 feet below where he was dangling. Ezckiel Willis, a boy, got out his kite and flew it so that Sanders could grasp the string. Then pieces of cord of gradually increasing size were at tached to the kite string until San ders got a rope and came down. I'nlqiin Exhibit.
