A BROTHERS. INFIRMIrY.


Edward Callahan Fined for Disorderly
Conduct-Judge Miiier's Remarks.
Edward Callahan. Q draftsman who lives al
the home Of his parents on 9Th street, was be.
fore Judge Miller today, charged with being An
habitual drunkard and also with disorderly
conduct. His own brother was the principal
witness against him. He charged that Edward
Was an habitual drunkard and said that last
night he came home drunk and was profane
and abusive. Witness said that his brother
had done but little il any work in six months.
Policeman Heide also gave evidence against
him.
The defendant told the court that he lived
at home and said he did some work for Mr..
Forsyth about two weeks ago. when work. "
he said, .! give most of my money at home"
Judge Miller said he remembered the defend
ant, who had been before the court before.
There are several just such men as you in
this city" said Judge Miller. You are all
gentlemanly and polite and on good terms with
everybody except your parents or the people
who shelter you. and when you get home you
abuse everybody about the house"
The charge Of vagrancy was dismissed land
for the disorderly conduct" said the Judge,
you can pay fine Of $40 or thirty days"
Census Of Omaha, Neb., Defended.
In talking with q STAR reporter today upon
census matters generally Superintendent Por-
ter said, with reference to the criticisms that
have been made impeaching the integrity of
the federal census of Omaha, that mot a single
suspicious circumstance has been brought
to the notice OF the census Office. On the
contrary, certain prohibition organs would
seem to have been conducting q campaign Of
wholesale faisehood and calumny. They have
charged that the census was padded in order to
prepare their party throughout the country for
the defeat that was awaiting them in the state
OF Nebraska. The census office can do nothing
on mere newspaper gossip. election scandal or
anonymous letters. The vote cast at Omaha
in the recent election. compared with that cast
in Kansas City, Minneapolis and st. Paul and
the ratio OF voters to population, sustains the
census. 1t even shows less difference than
might reasonably be expected in any four
cities OF such important rank In this, az in
other instances the bubbles Of criticism on the
eleventh census are soon pricked when COM
pared with cold facts"

Among the imports at Boston Monday were
three barrels Of Nova Scotia marsh mud 1t il
to be used as a fertilizer and it is expected to
bring good returns to the firm Of commission
merchants which dared to detach it from its
native place. The popular demand for vegeta-
bles raised in Nova Scotia soil continued after
the passage of the new tariff law, and this
caused somebody to suggest that the demand
could be easily met by importing the soil and
raising the vegetables in this country. The
marsh mud came under the classification Of
''unmanufactured earth" and a duty was levied
thereon to the tune OF 81 SO per ton
