Congressman Hines I ei'cr done to deserve a renomina tiou from the JJemocrcUic jMtrli/ .■ Where the Americans Rive. From the Atlanta Contstitution. Professor 11. 11. Boyesen, an Ameri canized foreigner, says that since 1820 some 15,000,000 foreigners have settled in this country, and if we take their des cendants into account we cannot escape | the conclusion that scarcely one-half of our people today are of American origin, that is, descendants of people who set tled hero before IS2O. The professor thinks that many of the political evils of the time arc due to the change in our national character caused by so large an un-American element, and he suggests restricted immigration as a remedy. It should be recollected, however, that the foreigners are massed in the eastern and western states. Their presence is hardly felt in the south, where they do nut constitute more than 2 per cent, of the population. The country south of the Potomac is the region where the Americans live, and it may be that this fact accounts for our exemption from some of the social and political heresies and disorders which alllict the states north of us. Undoubtedly, immigration should be hedged about with proper safeguards, but it goes without saying that a few million foreigners of the better class might be distributed through the south without injury to anybody. We do not want an overwhelming inllux of people from other counties, but there is room here for millions of moral, industrious and law-abiding immigrants, no matter what quarter of the globe they hail from. They will find a hearty welcome in that corner of the republic where the Ameri cans live. THE first suit of the kind ever brought in New York state bus been begun in the Kings county supreme court to determine whether a trolley company is responsible for a fatal ac cident resulting from a horse becom ing frightened by one of its cars. Ax agricultural writer figures that tho loss to tho farmers of the country by the use of narrow wagon tires, through the wear and tear of horse flesh ami the loss of time, amounts to three hundred million dollars a year. IT is only in moving time that tho average husband is perfectly willing to let his wife have everything her own way so long as she doesn't bother him about It. WOMEN are now widely employed in the manufacture of watches. Over eighteen hundred of them find occupa tion in the Wultliam Watchmaking company, and twelve hundred men. MANY a man who howls loudly about the "wrongs of society" and the "in equalities of our social system" al ways lets his wife carry the baby. DENMARK once had extensive col onies; now their population numbers only one hundred and thirty thousand. MMK. EVE, a dressmaker, and a Mr. Adam, a tailor, happen to have places near each other in the vicinity of Sixth avenue and Fifty-third street, in New York. It is reported that Adain and Evo will shortly be married. PEOPLE WHO WRITE. J. M. BARRTE, the novelist, is report ed seriously ill from lung trouble In London. GOT-NT TOLSTOI IS writing N "cosmo politan drama" which he says is to be the last of his works. ENGLISH critics are finding fault with Mr. Gladstone's translation of Horace. They say that Gladstone's Horace is very stitf and very podantio. ROSA Yor.vo, a direct descendant of one of the Pitcairn mutineers and a woman of more than usual intelligence, is writing a history of tho Pitcairn col ony. MRS. JT LIA WARD HOWE celebrated her seventy-fifth anniversary recently. She Is at this ripe age in the full pos session of her faculties, and is rejoicing ! in a beautiful and vigorous old age. IT is reported that some old-fashioned English people who have met Rudyard Kipling during his present visit to Eng land are pained at what they consider evidence of Americanization in hisman ners. UORERT Louis STEVENSON has grown thin to emaciation. Ills wrist is now so thin as to look, It is snid, as if a child could break it in two. His lean body lias becomo visibly leaner, and his face is so sharp at the chin as to give a V /Ji a pod appearance to his physiognomy. Valuable Water. The larceny of rainwater in Arizona ; has extenuating circumstances. This observation has its origin in an iuei dent in Phoenix recently, according' to ' the Republican of that town. Some | time after midnight A. 11. Barber was | aroused from sleep by a noise outside his bedroom window. Mr. Barber was not concerned. He could think of 110 t- i ing unlocked, the stealing of which would impoverish him or enrich the tliief, and he turned sleepily in bed. j Suddenly he thought of some ten gal lons of rainwater which had been la- 1 boriously diverted from the roof and coaxed into a tub and washboiler dur ing Sunday's rain, lie sprang from i his bed, cursed himself for his careless- j ness in leaving the rainwater exposed j ami rushed out into the darkness. The tub and boiler were gone. Mr. Barber , dashed into the house, and in about a ; second returned with a revolver and took a shot at the wide world, breath- j ing a fervent prayer that avengingfatc i would direct the bullet into the an a to- ' my of the deporter of the rainwater treasure. They Are Not All Dead Yet. James Jacobs met Mrs. Ann Dyson in Massachusetts not long ago, a few days after she had obtained a divorce nisi. He fell in love at sight and pro posed marriage, but when she said that she would not be free for seven weeks he declared that Massachusetts law did not apply to Rhode Island, and if she would only marry him at once ho would deed her all his real estate, worth about ten thousand dollars. The bait was too attractive and the woman yielded. But in less than a month the hastily-married couple quarreled, and the repentant Jacobs prayed the su preme court to free him from his wife and restore his property on the ground that the woman had no right to marry. The case was an unprecedented one. i The court told Jacobs that the mar riage was indeed illegal, but he went Into the business with his eyes wide open; that he had played the fool and must pay the penalty, and that thcro was no redress for him. THE fire losses of the United States and Canada for the month of March, as estimated from its daily files by the New York Journal-Bulletin, aggre gate $9,147,100. This is a very encour aging showing as compared with $lO,- 002,850 during the corresponding month last year, and $10,048,000 during March, 1802. The total for the first three months in the year is given as $31,018,- 100, against $-14,540,050 for the corre sponding period last year, and $85,- 120,900 in 1892. During March there were 202 fires of a greater destructive ness than SIO,OOO each. Of these, the loss by seventy-seven ranged up to $20,000, of forty-one to $30,000, of twen ty-nine to $50,000, of twenty-one to $75,000, of ten to SIOO,OOO, of twenty to $200,000, and of four to $300,000. Nor only has the exhibition epidemic prevailed in all the capitals of Europe and most of Asia this year, but it seems that almost every city of any importance has some big exhibition of one sort or another open or soon to be under way. Lyons will open a big exhibition on April JO, which will be the first exhibi tion held out of Paris that has been supported by the government and sub sidized by the state. The Belfast Art and Industrial exhibition was opened a few days ago, and Munich is arrang ing an international exhibition of the works of deaf and dumb artists. Mor HOE, a Chinaman whose head quarters are at San Francisco, has one of the most curious contracts of any existing in the United States. He is employed by the Chinese companies at the Golden Gate to seek out and gather together the bones of his deceased countrymen for shipment Hack to China. In carrying out his duties he travels incessantly from one extremity of the United States to the other, lie has collected the bones of thousands of Chinamen. THAT gigantic evil, the Louisiana lottery, which is supposed to have been banished from United States soil, has, it seems, only changed its local habi tation and its name. It has come to light that, while nominally carrying on the business at Honduras, its real headquarters are at Port Tampa, Flu. It Is thought, however, that the United States officers will keep after it until it is entirely uprooted from American soil. A law in New York has abol ished the dog catcher and the dog pound. A brutal agency is thus hu manely done away with. Every dog must be licensed and numbered—every eat ditto—provided it is an animal you wish to have come back and is worth preserving. The enforcement of the law is placed in the handsof the Ameri can Society for the Prevention of Cruel ty to Animals. A CHICAGO woman has begun a legal action to secure a separation from her husband because he played croquet with a neighbor's wife till a late hour. This Is getting a divorce on croquet grounds. IT is said that among the white mountaineers of the south, who are lit tle more than semi-civilized, one fam ily often consists of from fifteen to twenty children. AUROICA, 111., was the first city in tho world to illuminate its streets with electricity. The wires were plated in position in 1881. ORY'ANT'S EXPEDITION. ! It Will Sail from Now York oc : tho 24th of Juno. It* Object Is to Meet Lieut. Peary un< Ills Party at Itomioiu Hay —The Able Young Man in Charge of the Enterprise. The announcement was made at the monthly meeting of tho Philadelphia Geographical club that an expedition, to bo known as the Peary Auxiliary expedition will soil from New York on Juno 24, 1894, for Newfoundland. Tho party will consist of seven persons. Lieut. Peary, before leaving Philadel phia, deposited funds and instructions with Prof. Angelo Ileilprin covering this relief project. The leader of the party, says Harper'- Weekly, will be Henry G. Bryant. They expect to reach St. Johns, N. P.. in time to leave that port in the Fal con, which they will there find await ing them, on July 4. The first stop will beat Godhavn, on what is culled Disko island, in North Greenland. This is a Danish settlement, and recognition of the expedition by tlie officials at that point will be secured through the state department at Washington. Continuing north, Melville bay will be crossed as quickly as the condition of the ice will permit, and Cape York i visited. From hero the run will bo direct to Peary headquarters at Bon doin bay, in Inglefleld gulf, in latitude seventy-seven degrees forty-three min utes north. They calculate to reach this harbor by July 25. Lieut. Peary ami his companions ar not expected to return to this pint from their long sledge trip through t! I ice-floes until the last of August. In the meantime the Falcon will be em ployed in original research. The Baffin bay shore of Ellosmere Land will be explored for some truce of the young Swedish explorers, Bjorling ami Kali stening, whose schooner was wrecked on the Carey islands in the summer of 1892, and who left a message on these islands, which was recovered by Scotch whaler in October, 1893, statin/, wj| 'Jlk. V 0 HEN It Y O. BUT ANT. that they proposed to seek refuge among the Esquimaux of Ellesmoro Land. Jones' sound will also be explored for a greater distance than has yet been attempted, and tho effort made to map out the 200 miles of unknown coast-lino forming the northeast shore of Jones' sound and the western border of Elles mere Land. This triangular area of 100,000 square miles, known as Elles mere Land, is one of the few large ter ritories the outlines of which have not yet been determined. A tribe of Esqui maux are said to inhabit this land who have not so far come in contact with explorers. The Falcon will be back at Boudoin bay on September 1, and expects to reach Philadelphia with the Peary party on September 15. Dr. Axel Olilin, a Swedish naturalist, representing tho friends of Bjorling and Kallstenius, will accompany the auxiliary expedi tion. The leader will be Henry G. Bryant, who was horn in Allegheny, Pa., on November 7, 1850. lie is tiic son of Walter Bryant, a well-known Pitts burgh merchant. Young Mr. Bryant graduated from Princeton college in 1883, and after studying law in the oflico of Hon. Robert N. Wilson, of Philadelphia, graduated from the law department of the University of Penn sylvania in 1880. He has been an insatiate traveler. In 1881 and 1880 he visited the north ern countries of Africa. Subsequently he employed much of his time in hunt ing trips in the Rocky mountains. In 1801 with Prof. C. A. Kevaston, ho started north to Labrador, penetrated a distance of 350 miles inland from the coast, reached the Grand falls after many privations and hardships, and found their height to be 310 feet. Mr. Bryant was second in command of the Peary relief expedition sent out by the Philadelphia Academy of Natu ral Science in 180:?, under the leader ship of Angelo Heilprin. Upon his re turn from this trip Mr. Bryant pub lished a volume on Labrador. Ho is now j secretary of the Geographical club of | Philadelphia. Idiocy Cured by Surgery. It is of interest to note the results of recent experiments made by surgeons in tho curing of idiocy in children. Like many other things new In surgery and medicine, these experiments originated in Paris. The idea was conceived that idiocy frequently was caused, whero no congenital causes wcro apparent, by the premature union of the bones of the skull in infants. Acting on this assumption, the French surgeons removed a por tion of the bony covering of the skull on several patients, the idea being that the brain had not had room to expand commensurate with the growth of the child. The results in many instances proved the correctness of the theory. In some cases the results were remark able. In one case an idiot girl of eight years began to show signs of recover ing intelligence the very day after the: operation was performed. I'ueetH In it Ileetto'tt Ey®.

Thi- Father of Phonography Honored hy ; Queen Vletorla. Queen Victoria never conferred an honor upon a man more worthy of it than Isaac, now Sir P te, Hitman, whose system of phono; . , phy with its many improvements by others, is now practiced by the majority >f shorthand writers of the English language. There were many authors or teachers of dif ferent systems preceding Pitman's, but when his system was given to the pub- j lie in 1887 it was immediately recog nized as far superior to every other, j I lis first treatise on shorthand, "Steno graphic Soundhund," became the orig inator of the spelling reform, to which | and the propagation of his system of v * "jOy/ Sill ISAAC PITMAN. phonetic shorthand he devoted hi entire attention since 1848, when the. Phonetic society was established. IE. system of shorthand was renamed in 1 - lo and entitled 44 Phonography, or Writing by Sound," and his "Phono graphic Reporters' Companion" ap-. pea red in 1840. Mr. Pitman's "Phonet ic Institute" at Bath is really a phonet ic printing house and a publish ing house, from which books arc sent to all parts of the world. lie edits and prints the Phonetic Journal. Besides printing his own instruction hooks for teaching phonetic shorthand, Mr. Pitman has issued a little library of about eighty volumes, printed en tirely in shorthand, ranging from the Bible to "Rasselus." Mr. Pitman ban received several medals and testimoni als from various parts of the world in recognition of his system and of his labors for the reformation of English orthography. Sir Isaac was born in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, Eng land, January 4, 1813. He was obliged to leave school at the ago of twelve years, and entered the counting house of a clothing manufacturer. After a six years' service as a clerk he received live months' training in the normal college of the British and Foreign School society, and was in 1831 ap pointed master of the British school at Barton on llumber, lie established the British school at Wotton Undcr-Edgo in 1830. DANISL H. HASTINGS. Nominated for Governor by the Republic una of Pennsylvania. Daniel Ilartmun Hastings, of Belle fontc, republican ndmlneefer ;>;<>vc rimr ol Pennsylvania, was born in Clinton county, l'a,, on February 2(1, lsib, and comes of Scotch-Irish stock. In early lifo he tanyht .school and studied law, hcin/v admitted to the bar in 1875. He soon made his mark In the lefral arena, and In 1882 made his entry into stab' politics by speaking in the interest oi his friend, Gen. Heaver, for governor. Gen. nesting's became connected with the national guard in ls~7 and rose t<. be colonel of tiie Fifth regiment in 1880. In 1887 he was appointed adju- LJ EF; V/ T : T/V (i : OEM. DANIRI. 11. HASTINGS. tnnt general of Pennsylvania by Gov. Beaver, and while holding this olllce ho was brought prominently before the public by his services at Johnstown during the flood. On June 1, 1889, when Johnstown was swept away, Gen. Hast ings started for the stricken city, and on his ar rival there assumed charge and ren dered invaluable service to the terror stricken residents. In 1800 Gen. Hast ings was defeated for the nomination for governor. Since then he has re mained prominent before the republic an voters of the state, and his choice to-day to be the standard-bearer of his party is considered a most popular one.
