CONCERNING THE CENSUS.

Some Facts Regarding the Work Being
Done by This Important Bureau.
WAsHNGroN, Aug. IA surprisingly
large machine is that which Mr.. Porter
has set in motion in the quarters of the
census Office in this city, and it is not q
tenth part as big now as it will be year
hence. About 100 typewriters and clerks
are now at work. In March Of next
year 1900 clerks will be at work, and in
June the 10000 enumerators will take
the field.
VALUE OF THE TYPEWRITER.
In 1880 the typewriter was not used at
all by Gen. Walker, but Mr.. Porter con-
siders that the day Of the pen copyist
has gone, and will not have his records
in script where the legible work of the
typewriter is practicable for the purpose.
This substitution of the typewriter for
the pen, Mr.. Porter calculates, will re-
suit in a saving of s20, 900 to the govern
ment, consequent upon the rapidity with
which the work will be done. The only
work for penmen at the Office is the ad-
uAoooAA5 " SAAvSAOkSSs oAASA tAAo " 40 AAOC
require large force for several months
to come. When the work of the census
taking is at its height there will prob
ably be forty or fifty ladies employed in
addressing envelopes. The numbers of
these coverings Of census Office commu-
nications called in Use seems incredible.
Even now, when the work is not devel-
oped, it is not uncommon for an order Of
250,000 envelopes to be given.
MANY APPLICATIONS FOR A POOR JOB.
The Office of enumerator is accompan-
led by very small compensation, yet
100000 applications have been put in for
appointment. Each letter received is
answered, which involves tremendous
correspondence. Several hundred Of
these letters daily have to be answered
by the superintendent, who employs
four stenographers. Not small part of
the work now being prosecuted under
Mr.. Porter is that of preparing the maps
showing the census districts fo1 all parts
of the country. These districts do not
correspond with the congressional dis
tricts, but are composed of counties,
giving each supervisor about five times
as much territory as congressman have
enclosed within their fences.

Judge Manwaring, at Saltwater. dis
missed the test case brought against
William Fee for selling meat not passed
by the Minnesota inspectors. He did
not give his reasons and did not print q
written opinion although he undoubtedly
decided that the law was unconstitu-
tional.
Andrew Jansen, ut St. Paul, died OF
typhoid fever in the city hospital. His
father came from Blooming Prairie, and
after showing his greed for some money
he supposed the dead son left, refused to
take tie body home and bury it because
the anticipated money was not forth
coming.
It is said that Minneapolis will have q
new morning paper within the next
sixty days, and tho name Of G. A.
Nimocks will float at the flag staff. 1t
is also announced that The journal is
making arrangements for the publica-
tion of a Sunday morning paper on a
2.cent basis.
The steamer Ruby, with a small ex-
cursion party from Hastings, went to
Saltwater Monday, returning at mid
night. Three Of the crowd took stroll
about the prison and attempted to scale
the wall and were placed in the lookup
for the night. They returned next morn
ing BY rail not very enthusiastic. ~.
DR.. Louis Pasteur, tho eminent hydro
phobia specialist, sent cablegratn to
the Minneapolis health department that
he will take the case of Hanson, the
Lake Amelia cat victim. and treat it
gratuitonsly. The csblegram further
states that in order to make the treat
ment successful the patient should be
treated by him before the first appear
ance OF rabies. There is some. doubt ex-
pressed by Minneapolis physicians as to
the case being one Of genuine rabies.

WASHINGTON, Aug. SC. A. Kenas-

appointed by the secretary of the in

Dartment to visit France for the purpose
Of studying the irrigating systems Of
that country with view to the i'm

vast Importance that an effort will be
