A GREAT GAIN.
Some Figures From the Forthcom'
ing City Directory.
A List of 3,042 Names, Showing a
Population of 9,I26.
Nearly 100 Macs, With Smith Sec
ond and Johnson Third.

Mai. Glafcke's cavassers have COM
pleted the task of collecting the names of
Cheyenne people who will be mentioned
in the forthcoming city directory. The
work, which was finished yesterday after
noon, has been carefully and thoroughly
performed. Each house in the city has
been visited and the completed list has
been compared with former directories
and the finding books used in the delivery
department of the local postofice.
To insure the greatest degree of cor
rectness ~attainable. the lists will be ex-
amined and revised again before being
placed in the hands of the printer.
A count shows that 3,O42 names have
been enrolled by the industrious question
ers.
On the accepted basis of directory cal
culation this places the population of the
city at 9 ,l26.
The grand total is secured by multiply
ing the number of names by three-a
method in vogue for years and one which
invariably gives a correct result, having
been proven in many instances.
A comparison of Mr.. Glafcke's list with
the directory Of 1886, the most reliable
publication of recent date, should silence
the croakers. The total of names pre-
scented in that volume is 1000 less than
will appear On the pages of the new book.
Alphabetical study of the copy for the
directory is quite interesting. More names
commence with the letter M than with
any other character. There is a good
sprinkling of descendants of emigrants
from the emerald isle within the walls of
the city if names are a criterion. No less
than ninety-four residents would feel in
duty bound to answer to the nickname of
MAC"
Smith, Jones and Brown are here with
a variety of prefixes. The members of
the house of Smith number an even half
hundred.
Jones only ties johnson, with a total of
eight each. 1t is suspected hat a few
Joneses have assumed other titles.
An aver dozen citizens will accept a
post Office money order addressed to plain
Brown.
The tribe of Johnson's is well repre-
scented. The delegation bearing that
name numbers twenty-five, and arc en-
gagged in nearly as many callings.
There are several Whites. quite a num-
Der of Fishers, a few Blacks and a quota
of Thompsons, with a proportionate
number of other ordinary names.
The oldest title in the list is perhaps
yesterday, though numerous uncommon
cognomens occur.
Cinnamon have been regularly entered.
MI. Glafcke's agents are gathering
names in Laramie and soliciting advertis-
ing in that city, Cheyenne and Denver.
The directory for 1889 will be as
nearly perfect as any publication of that
character ever issued. 1t will certainly be
the best reference book ever compiled in
the territory.

The great mercantile agency of r. G.
Dun & Co., usually furnishes very relia-
BILE information. In almost every in
stance their weekly reports of business
changes can be depended upon as abso-
lutely correct. Their Cheyenne agent is
somewhat of a wag or has a very limited
acquaintance in this city. The last issue
of Dun's review contains the appended
statement under the head of Wyoming
commercial notes:
Chevenne-A. R. Johnson-Clothing.
Sells his interest to j. K. Shingle, and
makes bill of sale, 81.

CHARLES DIChES~
To Read from His Fathers Works
wednesday Evening.


Last evening Mr.. Charles Dickens, Jr.,
made his second appearance in Hartford
and was welcomed by an audience that
filled every reserved seatin Unity hall and
the circle without the parquet. Such an
audience on such n night, and especially
on an evening when so many people had
previous engagements, was a tribute to
the reader which few others would have
gained.
Last night Mr.. Dickens was at his best,
and his assumption of the character of
DIR. MarigOld was SO perfect that one
needed but to clOae his eyes and allow a
little range to his vision to believe that the
old Cheap John stood there telling his
pathetic story of his little girl and reveal
ing unintentionallY the wonderful, tender,
manly heart that made him a
great man, unknown to himself or
anybody else but his hearers. And
then the voice stopped and the audience
looked to the stage to see the man who
had told them this splendid love story,
and saw not DR.. Marigold but the face of
Mr.. Dickens as he bowed his acknowl-
edgment Of the hearty applause that came
after the momentary pause at the close OF
the story.
The trial scene, with its broadly humor-
Gus features, though trimmed of minor
passages, was fully as successful as the
longer reading and the imitation of Mr..
Justice Starlight, of Sergeant Buzfuz; of
Sam Weller and Mr.. Wrinkle and the
others was delightful.
Mr.. Dickens scored a pronounced sue
cess at his first appearance here last No
vember, and last evenings work can but
widen the circle who are anxious that he
should visit Hartford again this season.
