CATHOLIC STATISTICS.
Erroneous Estimate by the Catholic
Directory Regarding the DiO-
onca Of CT DouJ

The Catholic directory for 1884 has just
been published, which sets down the entire
Catholic population of the United States at
6,623, 176 and that of the diocese of st. Paul
at 10000. The Northwestern Chronicle
pronounces the latter estimate as wholly
inadequate and agree that if the en-
tire work has been compiled upon
the same basis as that referring to the St.
Paul diocese that the whole estimate is very
much below the actual Catholic population of
the country. There appears to be no reli-
able systematic plan of getting at a true
religious census of the country, and it is a
wise policy in taking the national census to
add a column to the census paper for ''reli-
gious belief" The plan has been suggested to
make the calculation from the number of
baptsms recorded. This, no doubt, would
be an excellent plan providing it could be as
certained just what ratio to the entire popu-
lation the Catholic births in each diocese
form. For reasons which are obvious to all
Catholics, the births among them are more
numerous than among many other denomi-
nations of Christians and their ratio of
births is higher than the general
ratio of the country. The ratio of births
to the population in Minnesota is 1 to 80. 5
in New York to $50; in Illinois 1 to 80. 04
in Wisconsin 1 to $50; in Michigan 1 to
35.7; in California to 45; in Colorado 1 to
4S; in New Mexico to 29.7; in Connecticut
1 to A, and the births of the whole country
bear proportion to the entire population of
1 to 31.S. Now the number of infant bap-
tisms performed in the diocese of st. Paul
for the year 1888 was $3.50, multiplying by
80 5 the state ratio, we have Catholic popu-
lation for the st. Paul diocese of
209,6 against the 10000
given in the directory. Now if
the directory estimates are as much in fault
computing for the whole country as they ap-
parently are for this decrease. There cannot
be less than 10000, 900 of Catholic souls in
this country. That the estimate given above
for minnesota is not an exaggerated one, is
evident from the fact that the Catholic births
in the year 1888 were at the
very least one-fourth the entire births
of the whole state, now multiplying 100000,
| the estimated Catholic population of the
state, by four, we have an entire population
of 100000, less by 95, 100 than what it was in
1921 But in two years the state has grown g
little, only adding on the growth of St. Pau
for one year, and we have a population Of
| over 100000, this leaves an ample margin
for the larger number of births in Catholic
| than nom Catholic families

The Fire Commissioners.

A special meeting of the board Of fire com
missioners was held yesterday afternoon,
Messrs. Delano, Prendergast and Parker be-
ing in attendance.
The object of the meeting was to consider
propositions from Mr.. Horace Silsby, of the
Silsby Manufacturing company. Seneca, n.
Y, relating to the Minnehaha steamer No. 3.
Mr.. Silsby appeared before the board and
made two propositions. He first proposed
to rebuild the engine for the sum of 50, 100,
the city to pay the freight charges to and
from Seneca Falls, N. Y. He also proposed
to take the old engine and to give in its
place first-class new steamer for $4,000,
the regular price Of a new steamer being
S., 00O
A discussion ensued and the board finally
concluded to accept the first proposition.
President Delano was deputied to bring the
subject before the committee on fire depart
ment of the council. "a

ST. PAUL, March %, 1884

Oh. ALL, 4hdlCu 90, lCOt.
To the Editor of the Globe:
Excuse me for this once, Mr.. Editor, for
trespassing upon your valuable space in Or
der to remind our city fathers that st. Paul is
probably fast outgrowing even their widest
imaginings, and that localities, which a few
short months ago were ''trackess wastesn
are to-day part and parcel of the city proper,
and fast becoming covered by dense popu-
lation, and hence entitled to some of the
benefits of the city ordinances, especially to
some sort of police protection. / refer to
the locality known as POSTS Siding or the
St. Paul Plow Works. When an old gray
headed man cannot quietly pass along the
sidewalk without being set upon by lot of
half drunken hoodlums and maltreated in a
most shameful manner, being called all
knocked off and trampled in the
walk, is it not about time that some sort of
protection of peaceable and unoffending
citizens2
The above case is not the only one of I'M
provoked and wanton insult, not only to
passing men but ladies also, that has been
perpetrated in the above locality. Working
girls, whose employment calls them to town
early in the morning and necessitates their
return late in the evening, have of late be-
come the frequent subjects of gross insult by
the semi-tramp clement which infests that
otherwise pleasant portion of the city. Many
of the law abiding citizens, whose business
takes them to or beyond the above mention
ed neighborhood, begin to think it is about
time the city authorities did something to-
ward the suppression or holding in check of
these lawless violators of peace and decency.

SATURDAYS SINS.
Briefly Epitonized by the "Globe'
Police Reporter.

''Blow, blow, ye SPICY zephyrs blow,
What cares the soul If Michael Don O. Hoe,
For brave is he, and of good seemly form,
Quick in fight, and quick to take horn,
His fayorIte booze the ripe old barley corn"
Thus sang the bailiff as the windows of the
court room ratified yesterday morning, and
the gang looked more forlorn than ever as
they waltzed into the bull pen with chattering
teeth and dry Threats.
Mr.. Don O'Hoe was one of the first to re-
ceive the compliments of the court. He al
most had the jams-the James-jams, and not
the strawberry jam with which our childhoods
happy hours were soothed. Friday night,
while in the tramp room, he took rock from
his pocket and was going to throw it at the
gang, when he was pnt in cell. Yesterday
he went up for five days.
The case of G. G. Lee was quite funny.
Lee had been arrested on the chasge of steal
ing hair brush and billiard ball; the case
went along nicely until witness for the de-
tense took the stand and gave the snap away.
Coulsel-sDid you see the accused steal
the ball?"
Witness-s'Yes, sir, saw him take it,
''Thirty days." remarked the court, and he
went out.
Charles Lawrence and Pat Giles
were charged with the larceny
of crock of grub foundry butter.
They cabbaged it from commission house,
and they went over for sixty days each.
Frank Barnhof and W. Fl. Boggers, a
couple of gay young snoozers, were charged
with blockading the sidewalk. They were
ordered to move on by the police, when they
gave some back talk and the copper run
them in, and it cost them ten bills each.
A. Wurm was arraigned on the charge of
stabbing VIM. Klappenbach, an account of
which appeared in yesterdays GLOBE; the
condition of Klappenbach is considered pre-
carious, and the case was continued to April
5. Wurm was released on bail of 1000.
Sylvester Montour, charged with drunken
ness, promised to take the pledge and keep
it, nd he was discharged.
At 2 O'Clock, Nels Johnson and John
Westfall, of Rose township, were arranged
on the charge of bulldozing an old man,
named Henry Weight The latter testified
that they called at his residence about mid
night, and tried to break in the door with a
spade. Johnson was fined S. and Yves tfall
was discharged.

A PiscatOriaI Opinion,

President Randall, of the Sportsman's club
aEGracevill, Traverse county, addressed a
letter to Attorney General Hahn, few days
since, which has considerable interest for the
Isaak Waltons of the state The substance
of the communication was that a small stream
connects Traverse lake with two small lakes,
near Graceville, through which fish ran up to
stock the smaller waters, and that property
owner through whose domains said stream
ran had for several years, by means of seins
and traps, obstructed and interrupted these
piscatorial pilgrimages in order to supply their
own lard0rs with brain food to the
exclusion of the ssrest of the world and man
kind generally President Randall further
referred the attorney general to a provision
in the law passed in 1878, regulating fish
ways in the state, which provided that this
law should not apply to banks of streams
flowed, and asked a written opinion on this
not very common sense legislative provision.
The matter being referred to Assistant
Attorney General Love he yesterday replied
to President Randall, that the existence of
this proviso attached 10 the fish-way law rele-
gated these streams back to the common law
which provides that land owners
shall have the exclusive right
to fish in the streams on their own property,
but shall not obstruct therein the free pas
sage of the fish.
The opinion further refers to section nine
of the Minnesota game law which prohibits
the taking of fish from streams and the
lakes in the state by any other methods except
by shoe ting, spearing and angling.

Elevator Works.
Among the recent and prominent manufacturing
acquisitions to the vast business ranks of the
northwest, we mention with particular
pride the arrival in ST. Paul of Mr..
Hiram Graves and his establishing
here prominent manufacturing industry that
will at once be recognized as matter of impor-
lance to both cities, in much rs it brings out
branch not represented heretofore; that of build
ing Improved Patent Safety elevate RS, both pas
senger and freight, in hand, steam and hydraulic,
and also Dumb Walters.
Mr.. Graves comes direct from Syracuse, n. Y,
where and also at Buffalo, n. Y, he has had a
lifelong experience in this line of business. He
has extensive interests in royalties on patents in
both of these cities, and extends his field of
operations to the northwestern country feeling
that it should be represented here. We are con-
tident his move will not be venture, as the re-
qurements upon him will be immediate and con-
tinuous. He brings with him an entire new
equipment of machinery from the east, especially
for the manufacture of elevators, and is already
in trim working shape, with orders on hand.
