The census taker has. and very naturally
too, been viewed with proper suspicion by
many of the good people upon whom he
calls. The infrequency of his calls, ten
years being the length of time he allows to
elapse between them. lends to him suspic
ious likeness to the seventeen year locust;
and the persistent questioning which he in
dulges in about business and domestic affairs
seems very rude and out Of place ID one who
calls so infrequently. 1t is to be feared that
next year, which is the year Of his call, the
census-taker will have about himself the ele-
ment of new terror, when it becomes
noised abroad that the census is to be taken
by electricity. A PIttsburg industrial paper,
the American Manufacturer, which de-
scribes how this is to be done,
shows however, that the census
taker will ask his questions after the
time-honored fashion; and that it will be
only after his work is done that electricity
will be used. The sheets Of paper containing
the answers to his questions are to be placed

cept that instead of the usual ink-mark on

about 81 inches in length by inches in

questions in the printed blank. As many
as $50 items of information can be punched
out upon a card, although no one card would
ever have more than one tenth part OF the
whole number These cards when punched

dials all items of the same kind upon the

first to count themselves regularly in the
performance of a constitutional duty; and
now their inventors have made it possible
for them to be the first to count themselves
by electricity. The lightning does not yet

Who Shall Do our Haulinoq

The relation of the Canadian railroads to
the Interstate commerce of { lis country Is
not a sensational subject: but i is neverthe-
less a question of the greatest interest
to the people of New England.
Few think how much cheap railway
transportation between the East and the
West has to do with the comfort and ease
OF everyday life. Occasionally the man who
lives five miles from a Maine railroad
station Is aroused to these advantages when
he is told that the trucking of his barrel of
-four from the station to his house costs as
much as the freight on that same article for
all the hundreds of miles between Chicago
and the Maine station The question of
transportation between the East and the
West is to great extent a question of daily
bread, the most important and absorbing
question that the brain of man attacks. And
any projected legislation that will interfere
with the great highways along which this
traffic rolls, is Of great Importance From
the fact that the geographical position of
New England is such that two Canadian
railroads are the most direct and convenient
highways to the West, it follows that any
proposition to debar the Grand Trunk or
Canadian Pacific from the commerce of the
United States must be worthy the closest at
tention In New England. especially in Maine
and Portland. Few realize how great high
ways these Canadian roads are The state
ment Of the Central Traffic Association of
Chicago shows that in 1888 the roads of that
Association carried from Chicago to New
England 491,993 tons of dead freight, not in

this freight between the different roads il

Married Across the AndroscogsIn.

To the Editor of the Press:
Although this historical incident is well
authenticated, have never seen it in print.
The recent celebration suggests the propriety
of its publication.
In September, 1888, by agr cement, William
Walker. of Falmouth, went to Topsham to
marry Sybil Staples. daughter of Samuel
Staples of that town. Before the time ap-
pointed great freshet prevented the plying
Of the ferry boat. At the time Rev. John
Miller Of Brunswick went to the ferry land
Ing and saw the state of the river. He
called to the ferryman on the Topsham shore
to tell the bride and groom to come to the
ferry, which was done, and the clergyman
standing on the Brunswick shore, and the
young people on the Topsham shore, the
ceremony was performed. VIC.

the incident of the couple who were thus
married across the Androscoggin." The
story was also published in the PRESS about

A medical registration bill was the topic
of the annual address before the Rhode
Island Medical Society this summer, as it
was Of the presidential address before the
Maine society. In Rhode Island an attempt
to regulate the practice of medicine was be-
gun in 1879, and is still persisted in. But, in
the words Of the orator before the Rhode
Island physicians, in "these plantations
Roger Williams, first in this country, advo-
Gated the theory that each man should be
privileged to worship God in the manner pre-
scribedby the dictates of his own conscience;
aud this theory, however commendable
in itself, is made the rule OF action by many
people in matters other than religion, and
the idea appears unjust to them that they
should not equally have the privilege Of kill
ing or being killed according to their own
individual preferences" 1t is estimated
that there are today practising medicine in
Rhode Island at least two hundred persons
vino know little or nothing about the bust
ness in which they assume to be proficient.
Many of them are both ignorant and unscru-
pulous. Yet in Rhode Island, as in many
other States, the impression prevails unac-
countably that any law to compel physicians
to know what they pretend and advertise to
know is blow at the liberties of the people
instead of a measure in their defense. The
States that today are the most advanced in
this matter are not the New England States,
but those Of the South and West Alabama,
Louisiana, Maryland. Mississippi, North
Carolina, West Virginia, Illinois, Iowa,
Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, New Next
co and Wyoming. with New York, are far
thest advanced in legislation in regard to the
medical profession; and have succeeded to
the fullest extent in projecting their people
and promoting their welfare by the passage
of adequate laws to restrain empricism and
to raise the standing of the regular practi-
toner.

three other mules so badly burned
that they will probably die. The
timely arrival of some neighbors saved
some fine bulls from being burned or
suffocated to death. They were in the
corral adjoining the barn and their
rescuers were just able to free them
from their perilous position in time.
They were frenzied with fright when
let out. The loss will foot up at
least $1,000, upon which there
was no insurance. The fire is
supposed to have originated in
a spark from a cigar or burning match
dropped by a passer-by or by tramps.

harness and such things as were
necessary to continue work at the
kiln, and business will be resumed
there this morning.
