NOW FOR THE FOURTH.
Will
Have a Balloon Ancemtion.
Other Features.
The ever rlqrious Fourth la now rap
idly approaching and the people of
I'arbonUale may look for the biggest
day In the history of this city, for the
preparations to celebrate the day are
80 elaborate that hundreds of out-of-town
people will come to witness It.
The committee reports everything as
progressing in a most satisfactory man
ner, and are well pleased with the suc
cess with which the canvassing com
mittee are meeting. The people who
have been approached so far on the
wubject have been very generous and
nearly JoOO has already been subscribed.
This sum should be doubled to make
the celebration, entirely successful.
The programme for the day Is now
ncurly completed and will afford many
different kinds of amusements. There
will probably be a. balloon ascension,
but arrangements for this have not yet
been completed. The Perorla, 111., firm
wanted such an exhorbitant price that
terms could not be made. A colored
aeronant has offered to make the ascen
sion and he will probably lie secured.
The various bands and drum corps of
Carbondale and vicinity towns have
been secured for the big parade.

Injured, several persons had a narrow
escape and much damage was done.
. W. Cowperthwalt had been out de
livering milk and left his team stand
ing near the W'hitelock residence. Be
fore he returned the team became
frightened at some object and started
down the street at terrific speed. The
wapon was thrown from one side of tho
road to the other and the milk and cans
distributed along the road. At Moore's
store the tongue came out and the
wagon ran to one side into a telegraph
pole, where the horses broke loose.
Down the street one of the horses
slipped on the street car track and was
thrown down, the other horse breaking
Its harness and continuing Its mad
flight. The one that foil was captured
before It could get up and the other
was stopped near Lincoln avenue. The
only damage done was to the wagon,
which was badly smashed.
Cottage Going I'p.
The new plot of land for building
purposes recently opened by Giles &

will be erected by the owners of the
land and when not used by themselves
will be rented to parties. It will be
completely fitted up so that the only
thing that Is needed by the renters will
be crockery and bedding.
Wreck at the "Lookout."
A wreck occurred on the gravity rail
road yesterday Just before 1 o'clock and

IMMIGRATION FACTS.
The Proportions of Foreign Horn to
Total Population lor Forty Years.
Density of Settlement High Tides
in Immigration.'
According to the New York Sun, care
ful and detailed records of Immigra
tion have been kept since the year 1820,
Those of previous years were relative
ly unimportant, since not until the year
ending Sept. 20, 1824, are 10,000 arrivals
In a year recorded. The most famous
decade In immigration was the one
from 1881 to 1890, inclusive, for which
the figures were. In the aggregate, 5,
i 246,613, whereas the previous decado
had shown only 2,812,191, and the decade
from Jan. 1, 1661, to June SO, lSiO. only
2,314,824. Another famous decade of
high tide In Immigration was the one
from 1851 to I860, when the total of alien
passengers and Immigrants was 2,598,
214, whereas the previous decade had
geen but 1,713.251. the decade from 1S21
to 1840 only 59,12r., and the one from
I is2l to lSIIO only H3.4M1. So far ns can
be judged from its first half, the current
j decade will not quite come up to lis
; prodecersor. the reckoning1 up to 1S95
allowing a total of 2,280.674. Still, there
j may be another flood tide before 19W.
Up to the end of the Inst fiscal year
the statistics showed an aggregate,
since 1820, of 17,708.3:11 persons. It Is
to be remembered that these included
alien passengers In the earlier years
not Immigrants; but, on the other hand.
Immigrants from British North Amer
ica and Mexico have rot been Included
since July 1, 1885. Perhaps In round
numbers we may expect the tiguies up
to the fiscal year 1890 to show nearly
20,000,000. But it Is noteworthy thut
while the Immigration of the last fif
teen years has been prodigious, the
percentage of foreign born to total pop
ulation liss not greatly Increased dur
ing the last thirty-five yenrs. That
Is to say, while the actual number of
foreign born was 9.219,547 In the census
year 1890, or more than double ns much
as In I860, when it was 4,l;;s.C37, yet the
percentage to the total population was
only 14.77 In the former case, against
13.16 In the latter. During the two In
termediate census years the percent
ages were 14.44 and 13.32.
DENSITY OF POPULATION.
Kxcluding Alaska and Indian terri
tory, the country h.is an average of
21.31 Inhabitants per square mile. This
Is u little greater density than that of
Norway, but quite as great ns that of
Sweden. If is one-fourth thnt of Spain
or Greece, a little mere than one-seventh
that of Denmark, Portugal, or
Scotland, about one-seventh that of
Ireland, and perhaps about one-twenty-third
part of Kngluud. We still have
room, therefore, for the right kind of
Immigrants.
During the last liscal year 279,918 im
migrants arrived In this country, ex
clusive of those from British North
America and Mexico. Some published
figures sny that there was an actual In
crease of 16,073 immigrants from Ire
land, 6.217 from Knglnnd and We.les, 16
frum Scotland and 122 from Finland,
whereas all other countries in Kurope
showed a decrease, that of Germany
amounting to 21.816. and that of Italy to
7.550. But during the current year
there has been n great increase in Immi
gration from Italy. As an offset the
debarring of these immigrants has been
carried on to an unprecedented extent.
the result being a decided check upon
Immigration from this source of late.
Mention has been made of the fact
that, prior to 1S20, no exat statistics of
Immigration were kept. It has been es
timated, however, that between 1873
and 1820 about 250,000 Immigrants may
have settled In the country. The figures
also, since 1S20. are not as accurate ns
could be desired, from the causes al
ready mentioned, and also from the
lack of taking account of Immigrants
who have landed a second time after a
visit to their native homes. Still, it is
obvious what an influence has been had
upon our present population by this In
flux from foreign lauds.
FURTHER ANALYSIS. '
Of th'e 62,622,250 who formed our pop
ulation at the 1S90 census, 53. 72,703 were
nnttves and 9,24,M7 foreign born. But

parents and 3,418,656 had one parent for

A considerable part of our
trade is with men who buy
on credit. Even those who
have the money in their
pockets sometimes prefer to
buy on our instalment plan.
It costs them no more than
the cash stores ask, and the
little amounts they pay us
each month are hardly
missed.
You may have an idea
that our prices are raised in
order to make us safe in sell
ing on credit, but the accom
panying list ought to con
vince you to the contrary.
