ble Immigrants The Prob
lem of the Future
America continues to bo
TIIAT refuge of the oppressed
and the goal of those seeking
to better their fortunes is seen
In the reports of the United States im
migration department for the year end
ing June 30 The figures are aston
ishing Whether or not there are race
suicide tendencies among native Amer
icans there Is no danger of depopula
tion of the country so long as the pres
ent stream of emigration from Europe
keeps up Last year over a million
foreigners entered our ports The in
dications are that the number will
reach a million and a quarter in the
coming year At tlils rate with the
normal increase in the native popula
tion the United States by the time of
the next census in 1910 will have
00000000 inhabitants The 100000000
mark will be reached ere many years
at the present rate of increase from
births and Immigration together
Five years have witnessed a doubling
in the Immigration into tLe United
States from the countries of Europe
and Asia In 1900 the total number
sf Immigrants was 448572 In 1904
Hie figures had climbed up to 812870
The past year witnessed a big jump
ftlieu the total climbed up to about
1100000 The total Immigration into
this country since 1S20 has been about
23000000 Had the rate of immigra
tion during this period of eighty five
years been what it is now the total
dumber entering our gates from the
old world would have been four times
the figure mentioned or over 90000000
The thing that gives concern to stu
dents of the immigration problem is
not so much the extent of the influx
into this country as the character of
the newcomers A large proportion

years after the foundation of the Ger
man empire the proportion of non-German
to German emigrants leaving
these ports for America was a small
one In the year 1S71 the number of
Germans leaving for over the sea was
over 75000 while the number of non
Germans was only about 20000 In
the course of thirty years the propor
tion has changed so that in 1903 the
number of Germans who sailed for
America from Hamburg and Bremen
was only about 27000 while from the
same ports over 200000 non Germans
left for the United States
Austria Hungary Russia and Italy
are the countries now furnishing the
largest number of emigrants bound for
the United States and while there is
need for their labor In the broad lands
between the two oceans the problem of
their distribution so as to assimilate
properly with the other elements of our
population is a complicated and diffi
cult one The immigration authorities
now find occasion for the closest vigi
lance in order that undesirable addi
tions to the countrys population may
be kept out and there is rigid enforce
ment of the laws providing for the re
turn to the countries from which they
came of those of criminal tendencies
or persons who would be liable to be
come dependents if admitted to this
country It Is a significant and en
couraging fact that in three -years
time only 5G9 immigrants have been
returned to their homes by the federal
authorities on account of their becom
ing public charges Thus out of about
2250000 admitted fewer than GOO have
failed to become self sustaining since
landing on our shores These satisfac
tory results are in part due to the ef
forts of the immigration commission
to prevent undesirable additions to the
population Evidences of conspiracy
to evade the provisions of our laws
have been found by secret agents of
the immigration department working
abroad So far as possible these ef
forts have been thwarted
During the past year over 7000 per
sons were shipped back to Europe be
cause the immigration authorities act
ing tinder instruction- of the law put
up the bars against them It is known
that many foreigners leave the lands
of their nativity lured lay agents of
steamship companies who misrepresent
the conditions here to them They ex
pect to find the streets In America
paved with silver or gold and money
growing on the trees They do indeed
escape from tyranny and oppression
In coming here but their expectations
as to getting rich suddenly are usually
doomed to disappointment

SPENDTHRIFT BALZAC
Extrnvnsrnncc of the Man Who Hn
a Mountain of Debts
With Balzacs rising fame rises the
mountain of his debts writes a critic
These starting from his two disas
trous year of printing and publishing
In Paris accumulated until at the top
of his literary renown he had to hide
from his creditors in a garret under the
name of his landlady or his washer
woman In 1837 Balzac at that date
the best known and the most debated
novelist In France owed 1G2000 francs
about 32500 Then he must needs buy
a cane which was the talk of Puria
some gold buttons for a new coat a
divine opera glass and a dressing
gown beyond words and give a dinner
to the dandles of the opera respecting
which Rossini said that lie had not
seen more magnificence when he dined
at royal tables
Balzac three times a millionaire
would still have burled himself in debt
for the mental exaltation of his crea
tive hours was reproduced when lie
broke loose from the galley bench He
lavished in anticipation the wealth he
had dreamed would be his This gone
he borrowed anew or devised another
of those schemes that were to enrich
him beyond the possibilities of litera
ture His schemes were essentially a
part of Balzac the sovereign uncon
querable visionary
He would transport oaks from Po
land to France nothing like oaks from
Poland to make your fortune three
times over Behold him again gravely
working out his plan to make a corner
in all the arts and putting up the Apol
lo Belvedere for competition among the
nations to act as auctioneer to Eu

The Custom at One Tlnie Extended
to Lincolns Inn London
When one looks in bookshop windows
nowadays and contemplates the be
wildering abundance of volumes of all
kinds of literature offered at the low
price of 150 or less he finds it diffi
cult to realize that time was when
a Bible cost as much as S1000U in our
present money No Tender it was kept
chained In churqbes The Black Books
of Lincolns Inn London show that this
practice of chaining obtained there
There is an entry during the reign of
King James I that decent stooles be
provided and that moveable desks be
also made and chains for the book
and a few years later the inn payments
include 20 shillings for twenty dozen
of chains and rings for the library and
there is a fresh order made that all
considerable bookes be chayned
It appears that none of the existing
books in the library retain their chains
or any part of them but a considerable
number about forty still have riveted
to the binding the ring or hasp by
which the chain was attached and
many more show the mark left by
rings now removed
The moveable desk and the de
cent stoole were essential appurte
nances of a chained library of any size
Even the zeal of a mediaeval student
was not equal to holding a chained
folio In the accounts of the Middle
Temple chayns for the bokes of the
librarie is a constantly recurring item
and a reader in Grays Inn in bequeath
ing his library gives 40 shillings to the
intent that he the trustee maie by
chaynes fasten so many of them in the
librarie at Grays Inn as he shall thinke

Paris Court Trials
-The demand for seats at a Paris
court trial is utilized by the poor to
turn an honest franc The courtrooms
usually admit of but forty visitors
other than the regular court officers It
is common for a crowd to collect in
front of the court many hours before
the door is open and wait patiently in
line Just before the trial begins when
the doors are open these men who
have perhaps been standing all night
in the rain are glad to sell their places
for a few francs

You neednt worry about that Wil

Lon Cone Brother Successful
After a great deal of effort and corres
pondence Lon Cone Bro the popular
druggist have succeeded in getting the
Dr Howard Co to make a special half
price introductory offer on the regular
fifty cent size of their celebrated speci
fic for the cure of constipation and dys
pepsia
This medicine is a recent discovery
for the cure of all diseases of the sto
mach and bowels It not only gives
quick relief but it makes permanent
cures
Dr Howards specific has been so re
markably successful in curing constipa
tion dyspepsia and all liver troubles
that Lon Cone Bro are willing to re
turn the price paid in every case where
it does not give relief
The old fashioned idea of dosing with
mineral waters cathartic pills or harsh
purgatives will soon be a thing of the
past The best physicans are prescrib
ing Dr Howards specific because it
really gives the desired results and on
account of the small and pleasant dose
that is needed
Headaches coated tongue dizziness
gas on stomach specks before the eyes
constipation and all forms of liver and
stomach trouble are soon cured by this
scientific medicine
