Show H I NEW YORK'S ABSENT 80N8. M 1 More Than 1,250,000 of Them In Oth- H a er States of the Union. H I Thoro aro mora than 1,260,000 na- H tires of Now York now resident In H a othor Btatcs of tho country, and very H m few of tlicsc, relatively, adopted tho H X advlco Riven to New Yorkers many H j years ago to go West and grow up H jj with tho country. H Only ono stato of tho '.Vest has a H 5 considerable population of native-born H E New Yorkors, and that stato Is, H ' strange to say, Michigan. Thoro are M I 1C0.000 natives of New York resident H 3 In Michigan moro than 10 per cent H H of the whole numhor of native Now B Yorkers resident In other states. H After Michigan, but with a much H 5 smaller number of Now York real- H ' dents, comes Illinois. Tho two West- H $ crn states which liavo tho largest B jft number of Natlvo-born New Yorkors I next to Michigan aro Wisconsin and Minnesota. Emigration from this state has not been on tho usual lines of travel through the middle Wost, but has been decidedly toward tho northwest, and especially Into states along tho Canada border. ' Thoro aro somo curious facts shown In tho distribution of native-born Now Yorkers through tho country. There are nearly twlco as many In California, on the distant Pacific, as thcro aro In Missouri, In tho Mississippi Mississi-ppi valley. There aro moro natives of New York resident In tho slnglo state of Massachusetts than In all tho states of the South collectively. Thero Is a very small number of Now Yorkers in Indiana, and actually fewer by several thousand In Ohio, one of the most populous statos of tho country, than In Connecticut, one of M if the smallest. B ! Tho largest numbers of natives of Now York resident In another stato HB are found, of course, In New Jorsoy, and Pennsylvania, which adjoins Now Bfl York throughout nearly all lte south B jj boundary lino and a portion of its west boundary lino, has a consider- BB able number.
