A Noted Swimmer Loses His Life
in the Surf at Cape May.

A Noted Swimmer Loses His Life
in the Surf at Cape May.
Philadelphia Press.
Joe Mcguire was drowned at Cape
May Friday night while bathing in the
surf. He had been long known there as
one of the most fearless guardians of
the beach, and hundreds of people liv-
ing to-day owe their lives to his efforts
in their behalf. He had been proprietor
OF bath houses there for some time and
was one of the best swimmers, having
frequently been in contests in which he
generally came out victor.
At O'Clock Mcguire walked out to
the end of the pier attired in his bathing
suit and dived into the ocean. AS he
came to the surface he started to swim
down the line of breakers. He con-
tinued swimming until point directly
opposite the Grant street station was
reached, when his movements became
slower and more lahored until he ap-
peared to be thoroughly helpless, dashed
about at the will of the breakers, and
unable to put forth an exertion in his
own behalf. His dangerous position
was at this time noticed by William
Hebenthal, who was driving carriage
down the boulevard. Hebenthal jumped
Off the carriage. climbed over the board
walk and dashed through the breakers,
closely followed by George Mitchell,
who was just about to take dip in the
surf. Mitchell and Hebenthal waded
out to where Mcclure was, but by this
time his struggles had ceased and he
was utterly helpless.
Hebenthal caught Mcguire, and with
10
others brought him to shore. Mcguire
was now unconscious. DR.. Kennedy and
number of others labored with him
for over half an hour trying to revive
some faint spark of life, but met with
no success. Mcguire was thirty-two
years of age and leaves wife and two
children.

Took Eight Men to Lift Her.

Paris Dispatch to London Telegraph.
One of the biggest women on record
has died in Paris. She was known as
the phenomenal Female" her rea
name being Victoire Tautin, and her
age only nineteen. Mile. Tautin was
not siantess in height, but her girth
was enormous, and it took eight strong
men to lift her out of her chair when she
used to be conveyed for exhibition to a
music hall. The Individual who en-
gagged her found that she did not pay
her expenses, owing to the cost entailed
by her transit to and from the cafe con-
cert, so Victoire retired from public life
and lived with her parents. Lately
she had ali attack of erysipelas to which
she succumbed. Her funeral was the
event of the day in the suburban local
ity wherein she resided. and great in
terest was manifested by the nelghborS
in watching the lugubrous preparations
for the burial of the poor .'Phenome-
non." whose remains were carried to
the hearse. and afterwards to the grave,
on the shoulders of ten OF the most TO-
bust men in the employ of the Company
of Metropolitan Undertakes.

CAPRICES OF FISH.
Their Habits Are Little Under
stood Dy Men.

Their Habits Arc Little Under
stood by Men.
London Saturday Review.
There is considerable difference Of
opinion among fishermen as to the pres
ntcondition of North sea fishing. Some
say that it is nothing like it used to be,
and is going from bad to worse, al
though they admit that the fishermen
do not suffer; since, if they catch less,
they get better price for what they do
cate Ii. Soles, for instance. which sold
for 80 shillings or e2 a trunk, now fetch
G5 to 50. We are familiar in most quar-
tiers with talk about things not being
what they used to be, and need not lay
too much stress OH it.
The right of grumbling is conceded as
a national privilege, and it must be adj
mtted that all the men by no means
share this gloomy view. Indeed, the
more intelligent and thoughtful among
them seem to think that occasional scare
ity of certain kinds of fish is in the
nature of things, and not matter under
our control at all.
. The habits of fish are little understood,
and though such as herring, mackerel
and pichardS are known to be migratory,
appearing and disappearing i'll large
numbers, it is not so generally known
that this is true also of the fiat fish.
They will travel hundreds of miles, and
sometimes entirely disappear. They
move together and have their own favor
tie places of resort. For instance, there
is sort of sandy valley with ridge on
each side not many miles out Of Rams
gate: the SoIes take the valley, the tur-
bot the ridge, and neither is ever caught
cD the others ground.
Then they have different habits ac-
cortiing to size. Fish of the same year,
as we may suppose, travel together ard
move from place to place. The expert
enced fisherman can follow them, and
knows just where he is likely to find
those Of particular size. But some
times they disappear almost entirely
and remain away for long time. 1t is
not to be concluded that they ale eXter-
minated, for on sudden they will re-
appear i'll great numbers. They arrive
In night, like the woodeocks. Quite
recently in the present year the large
turbot appeared in this way. None had
been taken for a long time, when sud-
denly they were met in every direc-
ton.

They Propose to Bounce All Ex-

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-A convention
of the grand lodge of the Benevolent
Protective Order of ElkS, which has
lasted two DAYS, has adopted provisions
to the constitution which will exclude
number of lodges formed of members
whose professions are different than
those contemplated by the order.
1t was decided that only

members of theatrical, minstrel, NIL
steal, variety, circus. acrobatic, literary
and gymnastic professions, and all 9th

was decided that all members of lodges
who did not participate in the clandes-

A sUFFICIENCY OFF LAW.
Congressman Hawes Objects to
Anti-Lottery Legislation.

Congressman Halves Objects to
Anti-Lottery Legislation.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 16.-Representa-
the house minority report dissenting
from the views and recommendation of
the majority of the committee on post
offices and post roads Oh the antl-lottery
bill. Mr.. Halves says that The objec-
tons in his mind to the bill are: First
That it is unconstitutional. Second
That there is no necessity for such leg
islation from the fact that we already
have sufficiency of law upon the sub
ject, and we had better infOrce what
law we have than make new legislation.
Thirdly-The provisions of the
bill are bad and even alb
solutely dangerous i'll that its
tendency is toward Capitalization
and interference with the proper func-
tons and powers of the states. 1t
abridges the freedom of the press; it
gives power OF espionage to public Of
ficialS as against the citizens; it pro-
vides for condemnation without hear
ing, and makes the whim, caprice. or
opinion of the postmaster general. good.
bad or Indifferent, as it may lie, the final
judgment upon which the rights OF citi-
zens may depend; makes h Ill. III fact,
judge, jury and executioner, without a
pretence of hearing or necessity for le-
gal evidence, and actually extends this
dangerous and vicious power, with all
its machinery for enforcement, to any
other ''scheme or device" that upon
evidence satisfactory to him" may not
suit his exalted ideas OF pr0priety. He
is therefore constrained to dissent from
the report of the majority, although fully
agreeing with them i'll .neir adherence
of the evil aimed at.

A DIVORCE ON THE SPOT.

| A Colored Couple Who Couldn't
Agree 'sNohOw and Noway."
Savannah News.
City justices Of the peace have plenty
of opportunity to study human nature,
particularly colored human nature.
A colored couple walked into Justice
SheftaiPs Office yesterday, and in one
| breath both asked the justice for di-
vorce. They were evidently man and
wife. but were anxious to break the tie
which bound them. The justice let the
couple tell their story, out of Gil ri0Sity.
| 1t was a tale of conjugal inf elicity aud
mutual dissatisfaction.
The man got in his story first. He
said: You see, Judge, meet dis
woman in Beaufort and marry her.
OATS six years ago. We lib tergedder
one year, and den we separate. We
| stay parted two years, and den we come
togedder again. We lib tergedder

an. she get her anoder man. Bimeby 1

sport her. Last night work hard all

She say: He my brudder. just come

gree to come up and get you to 'yoree

It's just de same old wrangle all de
time.''
'sDat niger is liar, judge" spoke
up the woman. He can't tell de truf.
nohow, and l want to be 'yorced from
him."
Justice Sheftall explained that he was
not allowed by law to divorce couples,
but seeing they were agreed together
that they never could agree, he told
them to go to lawyer and put the case
| in his hands.
The last seen of the couple they were
going down Bryan street. Marriage was
certainly failure in their case.

A Newport dispatch to the New York

THIRTY PER CENT INCREASE
The Population of the United
States Is 64,OOO,OOO.s

WA saINGToN. Aug. 16. The census
Office to-day practically computed the
amount of population of the United
States. There are, however, about
1900 enumeration districts the returns
from which have not been received. In
consequence of this delay the announce
ment of the population of the several
states can not be made for some days
yet. The count up to this time shows
an aggregate of 62,695,95 and when
the entire count is finished the popula-
ton of the country, according to POr-
ter's estimate, will be about 64,000,000,
an increase of about 80 per cent during
the decade. During the coming week
the entire force of the census office, eX-
cept such as will be engaged in compu-
tations, will be employed in settling the
accounts of enumeratorS. The popula-
ton of the city of Leayenworth, Kan,
as announced by the census bureau, is
20,250. which is an increase of 3,704, or
31.39 per cent.
Taffy for Female Clerks.
The chiefs of the population division
of the census Office celebrated the COM
pletion of the count of the population
of the United States by little dinner
tonight. Superintendent Porter in eX-
pressing his congratulations upon the
rapid and accurate completion of this
great work, said that beginning with
1000 and 5000 families, or 10000 and
$1,000 persons per day, the operatives
progressed in dexterity until last
Thursday no less than 43 counted
over 10000 families. or $4,000 people
each, one young lady reaching the as
tonishing total of 1901 families. or
about 81, 900 persons. On that day not
only the highest averages were reached,
but the greatest number counted, the
report showing 1.342.319 families. or
6,7ll,590 persons. This represents an
average of S,l95 families, OF 1860 per-
sons per clerk. In this connection
average the male clerks, man-Iike,
/ hear some of the young women
whisper, seek refuge behind the pet
ticoatS of the gentler sex. The average
number counted by the women clerks
was $3.50 families or 1850 persons. and
by the men clerks 6,5S7 families or 81
935 persons. Thus it will be seen that
the women average nearly a half more
than the men. 1t is also worth noting
that of the 43 who counted more than
10000, thirty-eight were women and
only five men. These facts. and, indeed,
the record of the entire six weeks, show
that women are better adapted for this
particular work than men. They are more
exact in touch, more expeditions i'll
handling the schedules, more at home
in adjusting the delicate mechanism OF
the machine. and apparently more am
bilious to make a good record. E5ti-
mating the population of the civilized
world at650, 000.000, we could count it
in 100 days; while the bright young
women and sturdy young men of our
population division could run through
the entire population of the earth,
which, including ASiatics and savages.
is estimated at 1,3O0.0 900, in less tnan
200 DAYS.

ENTRIES ON ARID LANDS.
Land Officials Declared from Re-
ceiyiup Them

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-Commis-
sioner Croft, of the general land office,
has issued to registers and receivers of
land offices Il circular giving in full the
recent opinion of the attorney general,
which sustains the construction placed
upon the law of 1888, known as the arid
land law, by the interior depart
ment. Attention is again directed to the
department circular of Aug. 5, 1889, in
which there are instructions not to per-
NIT entry of any part of the arid
region. which might come within the
operation OF the act of Oct. 2. 1888. AL
though, in any case, says the commits
sioner, there be at the time no designa-
ton of the land involved therein, as
selection for site or sites for reservoirs,
bitches or canals rirrigation purposes,
that fact is not to be considered as
showing that the land is open to entry,
as, although not yet so selected, it may
be liable to such selection under said
act, which is held to withdraw all lands
so liable from disposal. Absolute ODE
dience to the order is enioined.
