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 "".

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

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.

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.

nied all knowledge of the molds and
claimed that they had been placed
there by secret service men to entrap
him. Neyulus formerly served a five

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.
