THE CENSUS TAKERS.
A Kick From San Diego-The Case of
Mrs Davis

Seven out of the thirty-two enumer-
ators who are at work in this city re-
ported off yesterday having completed
their labors. The others will continue
several days longer.
Douglas Gum, mayor OF San Diego,
writes to Mr.. Mosher complaining that
the census work is not being done in a
satisfactory manner in that city, and
that many of the people there are not
going to be enrolled. And Mr.. Mosher
answers back that the enumerators at
work in San Diego report much difficulty
in getting answers to their questions,
and he suggests that the people there be
stirred up to proper understanding OF
their interest in the matter.
w. H. Hunter, of San Bernardino, who
is wanted by the United States authori-
ties, could not be found, and it is be-
lieved that he has come to Los Angeles.
1t is reported that on Decoration day he
tore the flags off his house which some
neighbor had given his little daughter
and had assisted her to nail up. If the
reports are true he is not possessed of a
loyal spirit toward the United States
government, which perhaps accounts for
his alleged failure to comply with cen
sus regulations.
Mrs. Margaret Davis, of 535R Los An
geles street, who was arresteda a few days
ago for failure to answer questions, tells
her side of the story. She says that
the enumerator called at O'Clock while
she was at supper, which put
her to no little inconvenience. She says
also that she answered all the questions
that were put until he asked her rather
bluntly whether she was not ''grass"
widow, at which she took offense and
left the room. 1t is reported that Mrs.
Davis is an invalid, suffering from hear0
disease, and that the arrest has caused

SUNDAY THOUGHTS
ON
MORALS MANNERS
BY A CLERGYMAN.
WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH. ]


In recent admirable publication, Cardi-
nal Gibbons. of Baltimore, suggests a
scheme of inter-denominational co-opera-
ton as against the common foes of Christi
anity. The idea is valuable and practi-
cable. when the bad combine" said
Edmund Burke, "the good must organize. ="
The truth is that the most diverse of the
Christian sects are alike in more points than
they are unlike in. Their agreements are
more numerous than their disagreements.
They have vast and vital common interests.
1t has been favorite device of the devil to
keep them quarreling among themselves
and with each other-saints engaged in
sinners work. Is it not full time for
Christians to recognize this deviltry and
stop doing Satan's chores?
But this suggestion of denominational CO.
operation has within it other possibilities
than the combining against infdelity. Why
not utilize it in Christian work. II. for in
stance, the whole religious interest of this
city should be directed intelligentlv and
continuously against intemperance, or Hcen-
tiousness. or gambling, or profanity, or
lying, would not these gross vices soon be
reduced to the minimum? 1t NAV be said
that the Christian sentiment is now a unit
against such evils. True; it is in general
way. But suppose every church in town
should let it be known that it was in league
with every other church to ban and blast
intemperance, licentiousness, gambling, pro-
family, lying-that there was a common un-
derstanding to hunt down and extirpate
these sins-thst no quarter was to be shown
them whenever, wherever they should sp-
pear; would not such an active aggressive
campaign stir the community and frighten
the devil?
So in other directions. If the churches
would unite to investigate and relieve our
local poverty, to visit systematically and
comfort the sorrowful, to understand and
better the bad conditions of the multitude;
if they would make a business of it; is it
not certain that crime would diminish, that
life would be safer and happier, that prop
erty would appreciate, and that this COM
munity would be model one? There is relig-
ious force enough here to revolutionize this
city if it were properly adapted. Why not
collect and concentrate these scattered ele-
ments of power and adjust them to the pull-
ing down of the strongholds of Satan?
''Divide the thunder into single notes."
says Schiller, "and it becomes lullaby for
children; but pour it forth in one quick
peal and the royal sound shall shake the
heavens"

THELITTLE WANDERER.
A STORY FOR THE LITTLE FOLKS.
WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPATcH.1

I lost all remembrance of her former life and
now belonged entirely to the fairy, who
drew her to her, kissed her tenderly, calling
her "Dear child"
The fairy then said 81 must now leave
you, but 1 shall return at nightfall. Amuse
yourself with the birds and flowers, and do
not be afraid, for nothing can harm you"
All daY Erlka wandered over the lovely
is land, finding new beauties at every step.
She noticed that when the flowers dropped
from the bushes they did not reach the
ground, but became gay butterflies, and
few away; and the fruit falling from the
trees were birds before they touched the
ground. When the evening came, and the
sun had gone down, every flower and every
leaf were hung with tiny lanterns, illumi-
mating the island and making it almost as
bright as dav. The fairy returned, and
after hearing Erika's account of the day she
led the little girl to soft couch which the
birds had made of leaves and grass, and
sang a low song which soon lulled her to
sleep.
For many days Erika lived happily in
her beautiful home; then the island seemed
to lose its charm; every day was the same;
the great trees budded and bloomed; the

PROLIFIC OF GREATNESS.

Men and Women of Renown Who Cnme
From Western New York.
| st. Louis Globe Democrat.I
Western New York, within distance of
20 miles on the New York Central Railroad
say the counties from Auburn to Roc hes
ter-has been fruitful in fads, greatness and
crazes. Within that territory originated
three great delusions. First in order of
time was Aunt Jemima, a Quakeress
prophecies, who essayed walking on the
waters of Canandaigua Lake. At her first
attempt she inquired if all present had faith
in her powers. Negative voices being
heard, she refused to proceed, postponing
the matter to future date When she
again essayed the attempt all present ayerred
their faith, when she said that if they had
faith there was no reason for her attempting
the feat.
The next in order of delusions was Joseph
Smith, who dug up the Book of Mormon,
near Palmyra, and also discovered the mys-
terious crystal "thummin" which enabled
him to decipher the strange characters in
scribed upon the plates of brass Then fol-
lowed the Fox sisters with their Rochester
knockings-the beginning of spirit rappings;
and last, Mrs. Bloomer with her dress re-
form.
Of greatness in that region was Louis
Philippe, afterward King of France, who
built and occupied residence at Canandai-
qua; and two Presidents, Martin Van Buren.
and Millard Fillmore, who were both born
in that district; and greatest of them all
therein grew TO early manhood and devel-
oped into the greatness of craftsmanship,
the lawyer and politician who invented, in
defense of the negro who killed the Van
Ness family, the theory of "moral insanity"
"a theory that has since saved many

moter of the ''irrepressible conflict" Will

A GREAT RAILROAD TUNNEL.
One of the Biggest Engineering Projects of
the Century.

OHe OI tue DIkBesL engineering HrO1ect9 OF
the Century.
New York Times.l
Six hundred men are now digging the
railroad tunnel under the st. Clair river, at
Port Huron, at the rate of Is feet each day.
This means that before the year is out one
of the most important pieces of civil en-
gineering in the country will be completed.
More than 1,20O feet of the tunnel proper is
now ready for trains on the Michigan side
and 900 on the Canadian. The remaining
1000 feet will be finished at wonderfully
rapid rate, considering the nature of the
work, if no accident intervenes. It has
taken six months to do the work thus far,
but workmen ere now more accustomed to
the task and can work with greater facility
in the use of the machinery, so that the en-
gineers in charge place the completion of
the work not later than the end of the year.
The tunnel itself is over 5000 feet long.
The approaches are equally long, so that the
entire length will be more than two miles
Of this distance, 2,310 feet are under the
river, 1880 feet on the Michigan land side,
and 2, 100 on the Canadian. The grade is
foot in every 30, except under the river bottom
where it is substantially level. 1t is an iron
cylinder tunnel-the only one of the kind in
the country. There is neither brick nor
stone used in its construction. Neither are
there any stays or supports-simply man.

Electric lights make it as light as day, air

street in summer, and the disagreeable
features common to subaQueous work are en-
tirely absent. Work is pushed from both

He closed the year at st. PauTs Cathedral
with scathing rebuke of wealthy and fash

"What do we see every year as the Lon

ers, like generals, set out on a campaign,
prepared to undergo any amount of fatigue,
if only they can marry their daughters not
necessarily to high-minded, virtuous men,
but in any case to a fortune! What do we
see but a group of young men, thinking,
after perhaps a career of dissipation, that
the time has come for settling down respect
ably in life, and looking. each one of them,
not for girl who has graces and character
to make her husband and children happy,
but for some lady who has sufficient dowry

Lord Chesterfield's Letters.

The new "Letters of Lord Chesterfield" I"
just published in England, are of interest
for the light they throw on manners and
morals when Swift was a Dean and Pope
drove the quill and Bolingbroke sauntered
between Westminster and Pail Mall. 1t
must be confessed that those were not nice
days, and that the wits and courtiers and
Deans were sorry set. With the manners
OF gentlemen they had the morals Of the pot
house. In speaking of Chesterfeld's "Let-
ters to His Son." gruff DR.. johnson says:
Take out the immortality, and the balance
should be put into the hands of every gem
tleman." But If the immortality were taken
out, how much would be left? And, after
all, do manners sans morals make gentle
man? When politeness ESQ called) to women
was apparently at its height, they were
probably never so much despised. For
example, Chesterfield, writing to his god
son, says: I'm company every woman is
every mans superior, and must be ad-
dressed with fattery which you need not be
afraid OF making too strong. 1t is not mean
on your part, nor pernicious 10 them; for 1t
can never give them a greater opinion Of
their beauty or sense than they had before"
This cynicism, as James Payn remarks,
would nowadays be considered little short OF
brutal; Dut 1t Is interesting as illustrating
the real opinion of "men of gallantry." It
is not the man who takes off his hat quick
est to lady who necessarily respects her
the most.
What then, are manners of no importance?
Not so. But manners should be the ex-
preston of feeling-the outward exhibition
of inward gentility. Then courtly manners
would be admirable. But who wants to have
his carriage chronic lie? OF what value
is veneering of polish when it only covers
rufian? Claude Duval, the bighwayman,
had the carriage of Chesterfield himself;
and this made the rascal all the more dan
gerous. The little fellow who took pins for
the subject of his first composition, said:
Pins have done great deal OF good by
folks not swallerin' EN-" We might say
the same thing of Lord Chesterfeld's man.
