Startling Figures.

The New York Herald quotes from its
neichbor, Science, mathematical calculation
of the prospective population of this eoun-
trv one hundred years from now, which is
very interesting. In the course Of its ar
cument some statistics of the past are given,
and they are well worth looking over: For
instance, our population in 1850 was .260. :
900. At the end Of thirty years, IN l780, 1t
had reached 2,945.O0O At the end Of thirty
wears more, the lifetime of generation.
islO, it stood at 7,239,SSl. In the course Of
another generation, or in 1S4O, it was IT,
O69. .453. At the present time the figures run
up to the neighborhood of s., O0O. 00O. II
this ratio of increase is fair basis for pre-
diction we shall have at the time when the
ten-year-old boy Of to-day shall be forty
wears of age, in 1920, something like lOO,.-
600, 900 of people in the United States, and
when that man of forty reaches his seven
tieth birthday, 1850, we shall have close
upon 40O,OOO,UoO. That mans son who
will be in 'the youth of his old age" in
1890, one hundred years from now, will oe
the citizen of Republic with q population
of more than 1000, ,0O0, 900. The Herald says
discount this estimate SO per cent, and yoH
still have five hundred miSl he resoA

When to Sit and When to set,

A man, or woman either. can set hen,
although they cannot sit her; neither can
they SIT on her, although the old hen might
sit on them by the hour if they would al
low. a man cannot set on the wash bench,
but he could set the basin on it, and neither
the basin nor the grammarians would OBJ
ject. he could sit on the dogs tail if the
dog were willing, or he might set his foot
on it. But if he should set on the aforesaid
tail, or sit his foot there, the grammarians
as well as the dog would howl. Ano yet,
strange as it may seem, the man might set
the tail aside and then sit down. and Meth
er te assailed by the dog nor the GRAMMAR

There are very few women who keep their
top bureau drawer in order. It is the final
test of neatness. and a girl who keeps her
ribbons, hairpins. collars, cuffs and the in
definite articles in separate boxes will al
ways be neat about everything. Most wo-
men, however, are dainty about their scent
ed sachets and lavender bags. There is a
fancy now for having all linen scented with
lavender, as our grandmothers did. The
sweet stuff is put into little bags of sweet
cambric or silk, and placed between the
sheets and table-cloths, as well as in the
drawers where underwear is kept.

We Second the Endorsement.

The fact that the Harrisburg, Pa, 7sIs-
Gram is preparing complete history OF the
Johnstown disaster, to be published IN an
elegant volume, is attracting widespread at
tention. The book will be superbiy PRINT
ed, richly illustrated, and in every respect
valuable literary and artistic addition to
the library. The Tines is pleased to in
dorse the following notable commendatlon:
COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA,
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER.
HARRISBURG, Pa, August 26, 1889.
The publisher, Mr. J. NJ. Place, having
outlined the nature and scope OF proposed
book on the Johnstown disaster, which IS
now in course of preparation, to be written
by Mr.. j. j. McLaurin, it gives US great
pleasure to assure the public, from personal
knowledge of the ability Of these gentlemen
to issue a work of this kind, that it will be
a most valuable contribution to the history
of the great calamity. The fact that the net
proceeds of the sales will be applied to the
relief of printers, orphan children, and
aged men and women who suffered by the
flood, is an additional reason why the de-
mand for the volume should be large. The
project has our hearty endorsement ana
should enlist the generous sympathy OF the
American people, whom it will enable TO as
sist worthy charity and secure reliable
account of the appalling misfortune which
overwhelmed the Conemaugh Valley.

STARVING MINERS.

They arc Given Relief From the JOhnstown
Fund-CosI Company's Tyranny
CHICAGO, July There are no less
than 25, 600 people in the mining district
of Braidwood and Coal City, who are de-
pendent on charity. The extreme poverty
to which these people are reduced is proved
by an incident which happened to-day. A
horse belonging to one Of the striking min
ers broke its leg and had to be shot. The
horse was dragged to the side Of the road,
and at night many Of the starving families
had horse flesh for supper. 1t was the
first square meal that many OF them bad
eaten in weeks, and they enjoyed it. The
cause of all this poverty is the tyranny OF
the officials of the Chicago, Wilmington
and Virmilion Coal Company. The min
ers were forced TO strike by repeated re-
ductions in their wages, and now many
families among them are starving.
A committee from Braidwood called on
Treasurer Onahan to-day. After explain
ING the situation at the desolate mines,
they received check for 1000. The
money was taken from the Johnstown
fund, and more will come from the same
and other sources. The Secretary OF the
Yermillion Company is using every effort
to stop the contribution of food and money
in Chicago, and his statements OF drunk
enness and Iaziness among the strikers have
all been proven untrue. The State Board
Of Charities will 20 to the destitute district
on Monday for the purpose OF inyesliRa-
tiOu.

HARRAssING INFORMATION.

Farmers Of Northern Dakota Combine
Wnh the Democrats Against the Repub.
ncGn Machine.
Special Telegram to the Register.
WASHINGTON, July 7.-InformatiOn
frcm Dakota is very harrassing to the Re
publicans. The farmers, particularly of
North Dakota, are combining with the
Democrats against the obnoxious Repub
lican machine organized by a clique to
foist themselves into power. Word has
been quietly cent out for a conference of
Republican leaders TO take steps to coun-
teract the influence working against their
party in Dakota. Defeat in the new States
would be a sweeping condemnation Of the
Harrison administration. When Senator
Quay was appealed to for his effective aid,
he replied that he would hold sloof unless
President Harrison consented to use patron
age for all it is worth in carrying the new
States. This was submitted to the Presi-
dent and he consented, 80 that Quay and
Clarkson will be office dispensers wherever
patronage can be employed effectively in
carrying the new States.
James D. Butts, of Harper's Ferry, is
herewith the view Of manipulating lit
tie patronage if he can get hold OF 1t.

THE DULUTH RIOT.
Quiet Has Been Restored, for an Outbreak
isl Feared-The Fatalities.

DULUTH, MINI, July THE smoke
of the battle of yesterday has cleared away
but the situation is still ominous. There
are rumors that the rioters will be REIN
forced from the neighboripg towns to-
morrow, and armed with Winchesters, will
again attack the police. There is little
foundation for these reports, however.
With hundred well armed epecial police
men sworn to duty to day, it is believed
the authorities, with the assistance of the
militia, will be able to Withstand any at
tack. The militia are lying on their
arsns ready to move at moments notice,
and the police are well deployed in the
neighborhood of yesterdays disturbance.
The Mayor has given orders TO disperse
all assemblages promptly, and there is lit
tie fear OF further trouble.
The contractors will resume work to-
morrow morning under police protection
at the former rate of wages.
I. is difficult matter 10 get at the true
facts concerning the number Of dead and
wounded among the strikers. Many Of
thea were taken away during the battle,
and could not be traced to their homes or
boarding places. From what can be learn
ed at the prominent boarding houses, how
ever, fair estimate of the wounded would
be twenty-five, and several more seriously
injured than was at first supposed. 1t is
not positively known that more than one
man is dead, Ed. johnson, aged %.
The death of Matt Mack, aged 80, and
Tom Fitzsimmons, aged 16, is mOmentar-
lily expected and it is probable that all the
Others will recover. OF the police, all are
doing well and several have returned to
duty, limping slightly or carrying an arm
in q sling. The action of the police Is
unanimously commended and their brav-
eTy praised.

and Foot for Three Days.

MINNEAPOLIS, July THE boldesi,
most successful and daring highway rob
berry ever attempted in this city occurred
in the glaripg light Of day last Tuesday
morning, and has just come to light.
Henry Hoge came here to be married Tues-
day morning. Hcge left the house for the
purpose of getting shaved. He found no
one at the shop and started homeEard.
Soon afterward he was accosted by strAn-
ger, who told him he wac barber and
would take him to his house and shave
him. Hoge accompanied him, and they had
proceeded but short distance when the
newly made deaoquaintance dashed aquantity
Of yitriol in Hoge's face. Hoge was then
taken out in the woods by the rObber and
his accomplices. After robbing him of
about $40, 600, the brutes bound him hand
and foot and tied him to tree. Hoge re-
mained in the woods unconscious. bound
and helpless for three days. Friday he
succeeded in freeing himself and wandsrtd
home. He has not yet regained conscious
ness, and may become permanently de-
ranged. There is no clue to the thieves.
The $40, 900 Of which be was robbed wss
in the form Of two negotiable drafts. Oae
on o Milwaukee and the other on a New
York bank.

BAKERSFIELD, GALA, July This af-
teusepn fire broke out in the kitchen
Oh. F. Kslsey's house, in the same
block as the Southern Hotel. In
spite of all efforts it spread to the
adjoining building, also of wood,
and then to the Southern Hotel. From
there it spread rapidly, with the result
that every business house in town is
burned, besides about forty dwelling
houses, involving loss of perhaps one mil
lion and quarter dollars. The insurance is
$500, 900. Thirteen blocks are wiped out.
No hotel, restaurant or business is light.
AS soon as the fire subsided measures were
taken to feed the homeless. Bakersfield is
in the northern part OF what is locally
termed Southern California, and has a pop
.ulation of s. 600.

THE SHAH AND HIS GEMS.

His Majesty in Opera Costume Was Valued
at Ono Million Dollars.
LONDON, July Tt is necessary to do
more talking ahout the Shah, for Euglaud
has done nothing but feast him, stare at
him, run after him, and talk and write
about him all week. Tess of thousands
OF pounds have been spent in taking care
of him, and the thing Is TO go on for long
while. The authorities started ont 70 dfz-
zle His Eastern Msjesty, but in fact, Erg-
land has been dazzled rather more thsn
the Shah, who gets himself up regardless,
and takes everything else but his own
comfort with marvelously cool indiiier-
ence. The Shah's costumes have been
something absolutely gorgeous. The gold
belt around his waist was fastened with
the biggest emerald in the world. He
wears breastplatts Of enormous diamonds,
besides be has tremendous aigrette Of
brilliants in his hat and strings OF precious
stones scattered all over him. A man who
understood such things saw him at the
opera, and said that he would be very glad
to buy him as he stood for 81 600 900 and
return him next day unharmed, minus his
clothes
His Msjesty wears, among other orna-
ments, sash OF the Order Of the Garter,
to the center Of which he has fastened his
enormous diamond called the Sea Of
Light" The man who had valued His
Majesty at 81, coo, 600 did not notice this
at first, bat when he did SO admitted that
he was willing to Increase his price consid-
erably.
The Shah has done all kind Of thiugs
aince he has been here, most Of which you
have heard about. Az his dinners and
lunches he makes no speeches outright,
simply whispering something in the ear Of
whoever sits next him, whis is repeated for
the benefit Of the company. He does not
eat or drink, but looks on and smiles.
This omission is probably not due to any
fear of poisoning, but perhaps be Is dis
gusted with the many comments that have
been made upon his peculiar methods a.
the table.
At KemptOn he bet on the winning
horse, Carnival, putting up elO to back
his own judgment, which Is fairly good.
He wss so pleased with this way Of max
ing money that he wanted TO back his
fancy on the next race at 81, 600, hut the
Prince of Wales, who knows what 1t Is,
persuaded him not TO do so.
