this place for insulting ladies on the
streets. Within the past few days, how
ever Richards has been acting strangely,
and yesterday he was examined by a
physician, who pronounced him an idiot
He was then released from prison.
Richards case is peculiarly interesting
he was formerly an intelligent and in
dustrious citizen of the state eapital
being very light mulatto Last year
while tilling his ground near here he was
bitten on the hand by snake, which
caused a long spell of sickness. Upon
recovering, it was noticed that the color
OF his skin had deepensd. He continued
to grow darker, until now he is the
biackest man in Dover. During this
change his reason left him, and at pres
ent he is mentally unaccountable.

THE real cause Of complaint in regard
to the shameful scandal Of the Irma Club
is that Chief Swiggett, who was informed
by Sergeant Tucker that girls were visit
ing those club rooms, did not take action
in the matter. Worse than that, the
two officers, zirby and Galloway, did not
know that there was such club as the
Irma, though they have been on
that beat since July, 1885 It
would be well for the Repub-
linan whitewashing journals to examine
the affairs Of the police department.
Several weeks ago the EVENING JOURNAL
called attention to the frequency with
which officers, luxuriated in houses OF

copyright 1889. by the New York Associated Pressl
BERLIN, Aug. 31.-Telegrams from Copen-
hagen represent the King of Denmark as
surprised that his son-in-law, the Gar,
should have SO long delayed returning En-
peror Williams visit. and is most anxious
that this act of courtesy should no longer
be deferred. Still. after so many disap-
pointments, the statement that the Car
has decided to come next week meets with
a deal of skepticism. even in official circles.
Application at the Russian embassy fails
either to confirm OF deny the report.
Court officials do not expect the
Gar to arrive before Sept. 10,
but they say his plans may be changed.
After that date the Kaiser's programme, in
GLIDING a visit to Greece, has been def
nitely mapped out. With reference to the
imperial meeting. it is rumored that the
difficulty has arisen from a desire of the
Czarlna to accompany her husband. The
bitter articles of the Berlin Post and other
papers la be attributed to the annoyance
caused by these repeated delays. The Post
declares that the only way to turn the at
tion of Russia from war is for the European
powers to agree to give her o free handful
in Asia or the Balkans.

The Eleventh Census.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 81.-Superintendent
Porter, of the Census Bureau, to-day sub
mitted to the Secretary of the Interior a re-
port OF the operations of that office to the
close OF the fiscal year ending June 30 last,
or for O period of two months and ten
days. from April 20 last. the date on which
Mr. Porter assumed the duties of MS Office,
until July l. Tho report shows the APP
polntmsnts SO far as made in his office
and the preliminary work already
accomplished toward taking the eleventh
census, and of the expenditures of the
office upon the close OF the last fiscal year.
The pay-rolls of the Office for April show
for june last, $4,34l. OF the work already
accomplished. and as indicating the scope
of the inquiry under the eleventh census,
superintendent Porter says the force of the
bureau has so far been engaged in prepar-
ing for the enumeration next June, and
sending out the preliminary schedules
for this enumeration; in planning
and arranging for the special in,
yestigations provided for by law;
tistics for the census year, and for the
calender year; in preparations to obtain for
the census statistical data now available
from various sources; and in preparing the
preliminary schedule TO secure data for the
census year. which begins June L. 1889. and
for the several intervening years since 1880.
This has added to the correspondence of the
Office, and many conferences have been had
