Points Which Supervisors Wil1 Bear in
 Mind in Dividing Their Field nto En-
 umeration Districts and in the Appoint
 ment of Enumerators--Women Not In-
 eligible.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The work of appointing 175 census supervisors has been nearly completed by Superintend- ent Porter. He has now prepared in structions which are designed to assist them in managing the army of forty thousand enumerators who will be en- gagged in collecting the statistics under their direction. He advises them that in the selection of enumerators, politi- cal affiliations are not to be regarded, but men are to be selected for their fl t. ness alone. Preference is, however, to be given to honorably discharged soldiers and sailors residing in their respective districts He directs that the division into enumeration districts should be clear and unmistakable. In rich agri- cultural regions, Superintendent Porter states, two thousand or twenty-five hun dred inhabitants may safely be in cluded in an enumeration dis trict- As settlements become more sparse a smaller number should be included. The same limit in the number of inhabitants in an eumera- tion district should be observed in cities having over ten thousand inhabitants. In the opinion of Mir. Porter, the moro quickly the census is taken the better it will be taken, and 80 where two equal ly good enumerators are to be appointed who will complete the canvass in two weeks, he advises that it is better to di- vide the work than to have one enum- orator at work for month. In the ap- pointment of enumerators it will be found advisable, Mr. Porter states, to select men who have had some previous experience of official duty. Township assessors and other local officers, post masters at small offices, country physi- clans ard school teachers are regarded by Mir. Porter as likely to prove com. potent. Mir. Porter adds that he js aware of no law making women ineligi- ble for appointment as enumerators.

Especial Washington Letter.
 The old original Newspaper Row" is a thing of thepast. The growth of the country has been kept pace with by the growth of the Metropolitan daily news papers; and as a corollary of this fact, the number of the Washington corre- spondents has annually increased in so great degree as to overcrowd News paper Row and compel many of the rep resentatives of the daily papers of the rapidly developing West to seek quar- ters elsewhere. Some of the oldest and most widely known correspondents have been caught up in tho rout and car ried beyond the sacred precincts. Mir. k. E. Wright, formerly of the Chicago Tribune, but for the past five years rep resenting the Inter Ocean, has his office around the corner on F street. W. F. Shaw. often called the s'Nestor of the Press, is on Fifteenth street, opposite the Treasury. Judge Noah, of the Don yer Tribune and Kansas City Times, is two blocks away.
 Newspaper Row is distinctively that half block between Pennsylvania ave- nue and tho Ebbitt House, on Four teenth street. Itdid not originally i'm clude the B. & o. Building, but does now. Turning the corner from the ave- nue, and going north, the sojourner comes to the stone steps which lead into the fire-trap, the death-trap known as the E. & 0. Building. Upon the second floor we find Mir. Roberts, of the Chicago Times. He has two excellent rooms, plainly furnished, and divides one of them with Conquest Clarke, of the New York Star Mir Roberts is new man here, but is very bright one, and is do> ing his paper excellent service.

REVISED ACTION.
Total Disability Appears-Thc Pension Bureaus Action Revised by Assistant Secretary Bussy.

Pension Case In Which the Question of
 Total Disability Appears-Thc Pension
 Bureaus Action Revised by Assistant
 Secretary Bussy.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Assistant Sec retary Bussey has revised the action of the Pension Bureau in the case of Daniel A. Wood, late private Company K, First West Virginia Cavalry, who claimed a re-rating for total disability. This claim was disallowed by the Commis- sioner, who held that the condition of the pensioner as described by the sur geon was not considered permanent" At the last examination, held July ,, 1880, the claimant stated that he had at no time within eighteen months been able to get out of bed unaided, or even to sit up in bed. The surgeon reported that he lower extremities, and he expressed the opinion that in this climate the disa- bility having existed so long is liable to become permanent He recommended first-grade pension. The claimant had already received two increases from July 5, 1887, from six to twenty-four dol lars per month, and before this report the Commissioner allowed him a further increase to thirty dollars General Bussey, however, thought that his con dition as described by the surgeon could properly be termed permanent disah!l- ity, and directs that his pension be in- creased to fifty dollars per month.

Chicago. Commits Suicide at the CoIum-
 bus. (0.) Barracks by Shooting Himself
 Through the Heart.
 COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 1.--At fifteen min utes past ten o'clock Thursday night Recruit Thomas Mulrooney of the Depot Detachment deliberately committed suicide at the barracks by shooting him. self through the heart He had been at the garrison only about three months and was employed eas . e.,ssSSll,is at head quarters, where nis genial and gentle manly manner caused him to be respect- cd by his associates. The cause of his taking his own life is ascribed by his comrades to have been morbid feeling that he had made mistake in enlisting in the United States army, and had thereby become dissatisfied with his surroundings. He enlisted at Milwau- kee, at the same time that Edward J. Drexel, the nephew of the Philadelphia banker, enlisted, but he chose the in fantry, whereas Drexel joined the cav airy. Mulrooney was also known to have been an intimate friend of young Drexel before they enlisted, and the name which Mulrooney took upon enlisting is known to have been incorrect, as he soon got tired of being called Mulrooney, and asked his com rades to call him Null" His real name is believed to be Hanna, and his father is said to be large dry goods merchant of Chicago. The act of sui eide on the part of the deceased must have been very deliberate one, as he unbuttoned his coat and vest and while feeling for his heart with the forefinger of his left hand, he placed the revolver close to his breast with his right hand and fired, the ball passing through his heart and shattering the forefinger, and he fell to the ground, in which position he was found by Assistant Librarian Craig. Craig immediately secured the assistance of Sergeants Needham and Roberts and they together carried the body to the post hospital where it was found that death must have been stantaneous.
