WAsHIsGToN, Nov. 3--Secretary
OF the Interior Noble to-day replied
to ths letter Of Gov. Hill of tho 31st
nltimo, regarding the New York City
census. The following are some sx-
tracts from the letter: at was Who'll
ly unnecessary for you to remind me
OF the provisions of the Constitution
Of the United States relating to the
enumeration and superintendent OF
representatives., or the electoral col
lege; or a provision of the census
law allowing amendments and re-.
counts. Neither did need any ex-
portation upon the subject of fair ap-
pointments. 1t is much to be
regretted that in a letter to me,
when acting upon a purely official
matter, you, as the Governor, should
speak as partisan and impute cor
rupt purpose to the census enumera-
tors to secure party advantage by
diminishing the count of the city of
New York. Your imputation against
the enumerators and the census work,
is so entirely gratuitous and unbound
ed as to be slanderous; and you
should have known that your abusive
course could not tend to promote
that fair and judicial consideration l
should have been disposed to give to
the application of the Mayor. Your
charge, imputing fraudulent motives
to others, rather suggests that as your
party thinks an increased population
would insure to its advantage, the
count of the police, taken as it has
been since the New York police
board has been made partisan, needs
the very closest scrutiny and analysis.
Your accusations, heretofore confined
to interviews and stump speeches, be-
gan even before the enumeration was
announced
The Secretary refers to the Cover
nors speech at indianapolis, on the
subject last June, and adds:
"You did not succeed in these eff
forts to any considerable degree, but
you are largely responsible for any
that may exist. You set
The example by denouncing the law
u Congress, and suggestion of its
violation by your less acute political
blowers. Your early and eontinu.
'us partisan assaults upon the census
iave had necessarily motive, which
$ easily discerned. You further as
erted In the speech mentioned that
he Republican party will not repudi.
tie the declared policy of breaking
he power OF the solid South by de-
'berately ignoring the vast increase
i population of that section. The
ruth is no complaint whatever has
cen received from any Southern
tate against the census, and the on.
serious claim of erroneous diminu-
ion OF population and representation
y State came from the Republican
tate Of Oregon"
In conclusion, the Secretary saws: I
l regret the necessity of addressing !
he chief magistrate of a leading {
tate Of the Union in the terms I
ave employed, but / find my iusti. j
cation in the reckless intemperance :
the language you have seen fit to 4

For people who have abandoned

accounts of the cathching of unlaw-

usually are the same under different

three questions that any fool may ask. vet

queries as simple and as likely to suggest
themselves to the inquisitiye to which sci

the other hand, positive philosophy, his

About her underclothing this interesting

all the time and cared very little for I'M
derciothes, made these wash bills and
Marie's constant changing OF lingerie a
topic of frequent and amazed though un-
complaining conversation.
Marie was very liberal with all her
things, including her underclothes. For
instance, she gave TO Breslau, whom she
hated, but with whom she wished to be on
friendly terms, very fine old fashioned
linen bodice, trimmed with long ruffies at
the neck and sleeves, which she herself had
been wearing at the studio It cost 100
francs and Breslau, who was a poor and
practical young woman, accepted it with
thanks, and probably has It yet.-New

For the Guild of the Holy Child.

A musical and literary entertainment
was held at Grand Army Hall last night
by the Guild of the Holy Child of st.
Johns Parish. The entertainment was
an excellent one and the selections
brought forth considerable applause.
Selections by the choristers of st.
Johns opened the entertainment, fol
lowed by piano duet by NIessrs. Kim
ball and Dashiel singing by Miss
Agnes Brownies violin solo by Miss
Matte Saxton; selections by Miss
Shepard and recitation by Miss Hen
drie. After intermission, the Schubert
quartette sang several selections, after
which came violin solo by Mr.. Robert
Stearns; solo by Miss Moore; piano
solo by Miss DashieIl, and selection
by Miss Hansmann. The entertainment
closed with a Mother Goose cotillion,
which was composed of the young peo-
pie of the Guild, who danced the cotil-
lion and at the same time sang airs
from Mother Goose melodies.
