It was written, offhand,| to amuse young folk, not to sai.| A'though it was the work’ of a master it would have been famous if “Dickens had written. nothing else. It stood on its own merit, like “Alice in Wonderland,” the masterpiece of Lewis Carrol and a love offering.

S. Caviness and D. A. Goldberg; brought their captures to the city. Yesterday it was learned that a large number of aliens had been landed at Key Largo from a ves-| {sel which immediately afterward: anounced today. Both organiza- sailed away. Immigration of- ficers were at once sent to ij tercept the arrivals and this morn-' ing they returned with the men} and women, numbering 21. In! the group were Spaniards, Rus-} sians and Pollocks. Some of the} prisoners tried to evade arrest and several started to run away.! However they peacefully submit-| ted to arrest when the officaray drew near.
