STILL THE METROPOLIS.
the APPROXIMATE CENSUS FIGURES OF
NEW YORK.


Supervisor Murrny E-uImntes the Populn-
tion AT 1,627 ,227 - Twenty Districts
Have Not Yet Been Completcd-Neariy a
Million In Brooklyn.
rspKcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.I
NEW YORK, June N.-From careful
estimate, made up principally from the
daily reports of the census enumerators,
Supervisor Murray concluded to-day that
New York's population is ], ,627, ,227. There
are still 20 districts that have not been COM
pletely enumerated, but the Supervisor has
received reports concerning them which
justify his estimating their population, too.
The actual figures as to the population of
the public institutions have not been re-
ceived, but calculating upon the basis OF
recent reports as to these institutions he has
fixed their population at 20, 900.
The entire population will probably foot
more than the figures put down by Super
visor Murray, but he is sure that the popu-
latiou would be good deal less than 1,700,-
600. The returns in the 20 districts yet to
be heard from have been DELAYED by sick
ness aud failure to work on the part of
enumerators. In some of the districts as
many as iour euumerators have been sent to
do the work that one was expected to do.
The returns have been sent on to WASH
ington as fast as they came along, and will
be tabulated there. No returns bv districts
will be made up here. Supervisor Murray
expects to shut up shop next week, but just
what day he does not know yet. With 900,-
900 for Brooklyn, population OF over
2, SOC, 600 is shown for the two cities.

IN0CULATING CATTLE.

Experiments Looking 10 the Prevention of
Texas Fever That Look Favorable.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.l
Experiments are now being made at the
Missouri State farm to fest the value of in
oculating as a means OF preventing, or at
least mitigating. the violence of Texas fever.
Cattle were inoculated at the station, then
shipped to various points in Texas where
they would be exposed to the pestilepce.
The experimentors a. first found themselves
confronted with many obscure difficulties.
and much labor and many microscopic re.
searches were required to make auy
progress.
AT last, however, partial success crowned
their efforts. They now claim to be able to
produce in cattle fever OF more or less
virulent form that will act as a partial nro-
lection against the dreaded maladv. Thev
can also cultivate the germs outside of the
body OF the beast and reproduce the fever
with this cultivated virus.
They have tried all methods. all kinds of
incubation, beginning with a mild yirus
and proceeding to a more powerful. and
hope in time to afford complete prarect;on
to the herds. Texas fever epidemics among
cattle may hereafter be as rare as epidemics
OF smallpox hong people.

WASHINGTON, June N.-In the Senate
to-day the House bill supplementary to the
act of March %, 1882, in reference to bigamy,
was taken up. 1t provides that all funds,
or property lately belonging to the Mormon
Church shall be devoted to the use and
benefits of the common schools in that State.
Mr.. Butler offered an amendment devoting
the funds to the endowment of institutions
of learning in Utah, and for that purpose
turning them over to the general Board Of
Education of the Church OF Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints, subject to
rules and regulations to be sp-
proved of by the President of the
United States, and not to be used in dissem-
mating, teaching, upholding or propagating
the doctrine and practice of polygamJ or
plural marriages.
Mr.. Edmunds. in charge of the bill, op-
posed the amendment. Mr.. VOORHEES, init
mated that the Senator from Vermont was
in too great hurry to get at the results Of
litigation that was not yet concluded.
With that litigation still undecided
in the Supreme Court of the United
States he thought that this was
not the proper time to decide where the
fruits of the litigation should 60. Mr.. But
Ter also argued that the proposed legislation
was premature. No harm could happen if
the matter went over until the Supreme
Court decided finally about it. Mr.. Teller
also favored delay at least until Mr.. But

L0VEMAKING IN CHICAGO.

A Gent1emnn's Sad Experience With Tws
Anxious Maiden Ladies'.
Chicago Times.I
How dare you be seen on the street with
that thing?"
The question was addressed to q fashion,
ably attired gentleman who had stopped for
a minute on a popular street corner to con-
verse with a richly dressed lady of 80. The
challenger, apparently favored by fortune
in the matter of money at least-was of
about the same age as the gentleman's fe-
male companion. The two ladies have for
years been most intimate friends and
have resided at the same house on fash
ionable street. They have wealth and an
enviable social position, but neither
has been able to secure that which she
prizes above all other earthly treasures-a
husband. For years they have engaged
condolences on this, to them, all-absorbing
theme, and have designed snares innumera-
BILE to entrap the monster. man, but he got
away. Recently, however, one of
them succeeded In inducing Q
gentleman to call second time. Elated
with her success she gushingly confded all to
her friend, and when the gentleman called
a third time she was so enthusiastic as to be
impudent enough to introduce him to her
friend, who at once began, in that delicate,
feminine way, to make love to him herself.
The result was an invitation for a stroll on
the avenue q few evenings later, with the
denouement as at first stated.
But it was not actually the denouement
Lady friend No. 1, after the street scene,
went home but not to bed. She waited for
an hour in the hallway for No. 2 to enter,
and when she came she pounced upon her,
scratched her oountenance, despoiled her Of
well-set of store teeth obtained from
the most aristocratic dentist in the
city, and otherwise maltreated and
despitefully used her. Nor was
No. idle meanwhile. After 10 min
utes, in which there were numerous rounds,
she pointed with pride to mass of back
hair that cost many dollars, and $40 pair
OF kid gloves split at the knuckles so as to
show delicate rouge tints on the cuticle it.

her rival.
No. left the house that night and has
not returned. At least one large social
circle on the Southside is badly torn up.

rFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT
WAsHIN GToN, June n.-A report that
Secretary Blaine had, while before the
Senate Committee on Appropriations, de-
nounced the Mckinley bill in unmeasured
terms, caused quite futter of excitement
around the Capitol to-day. The Secretary
was before the committee for the purpose of
urging a couple of appropriations for carry
ing out the concentrations of the Pan
American Congress. A near friend of the
Secretary who was present at the hearing
before the committee, says that the report of
Mr.. Blaine's Incorporate denunciation Of
the Mckinley bill was absurd.
He merely criticised the measure as not
meeting lfway the reciprocal propositions
of the South Americans, and INDUCED in no
general denunciation OF the bill as reported.
This friend says further that Secretary
Blaine is the same good protectionist he
always was, and could not be otherwise
with his warm affection for Pennsylvania
and the institutions.

ATHEISM AND AGNOSTICIsM.
Important Pastoral Read From His Emil.
nence Cardinal Manning.

Important Pastoral Read From His Emil.
nence Cardinal Manning.
An important pastoral was at the various
Catholic churches yesterday from His Emil
nence Cardinal Manning, in which, after al-
luding to the usual Trinity Sunday collection
for the Diocesan Building Fund, and to the
need of funds, it is observed: Among the
people of Israel an atheist would have been
Stunned as insane or stoned as a blasphemer.
Is it not. then, sign OF these last days that in
the full revelation of God, in the face of Jesus
Christ in the light and the glory of God
in unity and trinity, there should be not only
those who deny the Lord that bought them,
but those also who will not trouble themselves
so far as to believe or dsbelieve His existence7
The passive unbelief Of the ignorant or the
gross-minded is as abnormal as the privation of
sight or speech: but the supercilious inditfer-
ence of those who will not make up their mind
whether there is God o. no,
or who affect to doubt the evil
race. is not enough for their scientific pre-
cision. This state is not passive and Indifferent;
it is a positive and active mental habit. It is
also always intolerant and sarcastic. None are
so excited against those who believe in God as
those who profess to be neither cold nor hot
believers nor unbelievers. 1t were better TO be
cold or hot. He that is not with me is against
me- luke ri. 23). These things we have said
for two reasons.
"One-half of the people can never set their
foot in any place of divine worship. II they
live without God in the world it is not chiefly
by their own choice, but by an inherited urf-
vation. The human soul in all its miseries,
with all its assailing sins, is crying day and
night for rest, light and healing, for a drop Of
water to cool its tongue. My people have done
two evils: they have forsaken Me, the fountain
of living waters and have digged to themselves
cisterns, broken cisterns that can hold no
water (Jeremias ii. 13.) And yet no; it is not
they, but their forefathers that did this deed.
The men of to-day have been born into state
of prlvation. into dry and thirsty land where
no water is. Every church We build is
fountain of living water; every altar we raise
is the throne of the ever-blessed Trinity"

The Massachusetts Law Interpreted In
Favor of the Dealers.
rfEcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
BOSTON, June 21.-Bostonians no longer
will be forced to eat food with their eye
openers and nightcaps. In a test case to-
day Judge Balster, of the Roxbury Dis
trict Court, discharged Thomas E. Connors
who was charged with maintaining public
bar. The evidence showed that a very
small sandwich was furnished with each
drink, and although the patrons were seated
at tables in conformity to the new regula.
tioDs, the police hauled Connors before the
court.
In giving his decision this morning,
Judge Balster said: "No man can keep q
saloon without being licensed, and one of
the provisions of the license is that the
holder shall not keep public
bar. In the Connors case 1 can see
nothing which would indicate a public
bar, and in arriving at this conclusion
1 do not consider food furnished at all. In
my opinion that is not of any consequence.
l therefore discharge the defendant.
Other liquor dealers will take advantage
of this decision to refrain from serving food
with liquor.
