merchants of New York sent to the continent of Eu rope more ships than the merchants of other cities who traded mainly with Great Britain so that this city was better known throughout Europe and her vessels were the handiest for emi grants from France Germany and Hob land Agents of the New York mer chants and of the Government who were seeking and encouraging immi gration could show that this port was the most advantageous landing place for a man who was going on West and the sea captains explained that it was the safest and quickest port to make because the course lay -south of the stormy foggy region north of Cape Cod and the city was much closer to the open sea than either Philadelphia or Baltimore At any rate immigra tion increased in favor of New York as time went on and the stream of ing people swelled until in the decade from ISSi to 1894 it amounted to about half a million of immigrants a year 500GGG arriving in 1890 alone no counting those from Canada and Mex ico Tlie

Telia a Good Joke on a Membcrof His Company Stnge fright is ordinarily an emotion the exact cause of which is diflicult of explanation But in a case which Mc Kee Rankin recently recalled the rea son is quite apparent Said the actor It was in a mining town in Colorado We were playing a piece in which the servant is discovered dusting the furni ture etc Well I discovered afterward that it was a custom for all persons who had no reserved seats to take any vacant chair the minute the curtain went up On this night in question the body of the house was nearly filled while back of the rail there were stand ing eight or ten deep miners cowboys and all that rough element found in that territory waiting to get a good seat for an admission The curtain rose and a little Irishman I had playing the part of the servant had just commenc ed his opening speech Six oclock and master not at home or something of that sort when the entire mob at the back started down the aisles with a rush for the vacant seats He looked up saw them coining pelL jnell toward the stage gave one yell and fairly flew off the thinking they were to do him some bodily harm and was out of sight in a minute The play
