A New England Poet.

from the chicago llfneS
The serio-comic poems of s. W. Foss are
known wherever the English language is spoken.
and yet who knows anything about S. W. Foss
HIMSELF He is the son Of a farmer, and was
born in Gambia, NH, June 19, 1858. He worked
on the farm until fifteen, ami then he went 10
tho Portsmouth high school He worked his
way through Brown University at Providence,
RI, standing very near one end of his class
which end he positively refuses to state. At
any rate, he was class poet. From 1888 20 1886
he was editor of The Lynn Saturday onion,
and it was while on that paper that he
originated the so-called long-tailed style of
poetry, which consists of enormously long lines
and long words. For year after leaving Tue
Union he worked as a free lance and wrote
humorous verse for every comic paper in the land
He wrote three or four poems day, never less
than two, and his work displayed a wonderful
amount of originality and poetic genius. In
August, 1887. he became editor of the Yankee
Blade OF Boston Mr.. Foss is of n retiring dis
position and enjoys home life and his rollicking
twO-year-old boy better than club life or So
cie.y. His poems are all written in his editor
ial Office, subject to the usual Interruptions. He
prefers to write serio-comic rather than purely
comic verse and in his line he has no equal
The announcement that he will issue q volume
of poems this fall is Of interest to all lovers of
good dialect verse;

A WANDERING GIRLS RETURN.
After Years Mysterious Absence She Come
Back Pretty and Prosperous.

Back Pretty and Prosperous.
Irene Allen, the pretty fifteen-year-old daugh-
ter Of Andrew Allen, n porter, mysteriously
disappeared from her home at 1923 Broadway,
Brooklyn, on the night Of September 80, 1889.
The fact that the girl was stage struck and had
some merit as an actress caused detectives to
conclude that she had gone off with some the
atricai company. Her parents, however, con-
tinued to suspect that she had been kidnapped,
until after the lapse Of several months when
they learned, through one Of her companions,
that she had gone of on her own account; that
she was getting along well and that it would be
useless for her family or friends to make any
inquiries about her.
Mr.. Allen, on receiving this information, had
the search renewed, but without success, and
lrenes whereabouts and fate remained o mys-
terry until yesterday afternoon, when she reap
peared at her home as suddenly as she had dis
appeared over o year ago. She had grown
prettier and looked in no way the worse for her
prolonged absence from home. She explained
that she had been travelling with the Howard
Dramatic Company and had not only earned
enough to support herself, but had been able
to save enough for the purchase of Christmas
presents. During her years theatrical expert
ence she had journeyed over big part Of the
country and learned more, she thought, than il
she had remained in Brooklyn for twenty years.

HEBREWS IN AMERICA.
Results Announced Of . Special Inquiry b
the Census Bureau.

Results Announced Of . Special Inquiry by
the Census Bureau.
The division of vital statistics of the census
Office has prepared bulletin, which il now in
press, containing q summary Of the results of q
special inquiry concerning the Jews in this
country.
A special schedule was prepared calling for
details Of age, sex, conjugal condition, place of
birth, occupation, &C., OF each person In the
family reported who was living on the S1st Of
December, 1889, and Of certain details concern
ing births, marriages and deaths occurring in
the family for the five years ended on that
date.
These schedules were distributed to heads Of
Jewish families in all parts Of the United
States, the necessary names and addresses be-
ing obtained from rabbits of congregations and
officers of different societies.
No effort was made to obtain complete re-
turns from all the Jews in the country, nor to
develop any facts concerning religious or COM
mercial questions, but merely to obtain data
from n sufficient number Of families who had
been in the United States five or more years to
afford some reliable deductions concerning the
effect of residence under the conditions of life
III this country as contrasted with those else
where.
The inquiry resulted in the return Of 10,61S
completed family schedules, embracing 60,630
1889, and in these families there had been g. las,
marriages., 6,038 births and 2,062 deaths dur
ing the five years ending that date.
The social condition of the families is indi-
Gated, to some extent, by the number of serv-
ants kept by them, and, as about two-thirds
are reported as keeping one or more servants,
the families reported may be said to be In easy
circumstances.
The average number of persons to each
family OH December 81, 1889. was 81 and the
average annual number for the i've years COW
cred by these statistics was SAT. The average
annual number Of marriages per ], 600 OF total
population was much lower than the general
rate, being but IA, as against IL to ~ per l,OOO
in the eastern states, and the average age at
marriage is greater than among the general
population. The low marriage rate and the in
creased average age at marriage are the prln-
cipal reasons for the low birth rate.
The deaths reported for the five years give IN
average annual death rate OF I'll per 900 Of
population, being about half Of the average
rate for the general population.
The expectation of life at the age OF ten years,
based upon the death rate for the year 1882 il
Gill and $500 years for males and females, re-
spectively. against 1899 and AZ O5 as .alcu-
lated by life insurance companies Tor the gen
eral population of this country.
Contrasting the birth and Heath rates for
those of native-born and foreign-born parents
indicates that the birth -ate Is decreasing and
the death rate increasing with more prolonged
residence in this country, but the general
suits indicate that the Jews here retain many
of the pecnliarities which have been noted
among them in Europe.

Churches Oh Car Wheels.

From the New York Tribune.
The tourist on wheels il a well-known theme
Of the drama, but the church on y'heels is q
modern idea. Two chapels, built after the
manner OF Pullman sleeping cars, in which re-
hgious services will be held, are soon to be in
troduced on the railroads Of the west. One is
called THE Cathedral Car" and was recently
completed at the Pullman works at the
order OF the Protestant Episcopal bishop Of
North Dakota. Two windows, projecting from
the center of the second roof on each side, with
four panes and quatrefoil at the apex of the
arch, give the car the appearance Of a cathe-
dral. A private apartment, nine by Six, with
folding bed and appropriate furnishings, is set
apart, leaving space for chapel sixty feet by
nine. There is small platform, with chair
for the bishop, and altar for the commandments.
with lecture and an audience room provided
with stationary chairs that will accommodate
fifty people Camp chairs may be placed in
the aisle to seat twenty more.
The other car is the independent suggestion
of DIR. Wayland Hoyt of Minneapolis. Its ex-
pense will be met by Colgate Hoyt and c. L.
Colby Of this city. Its dimensions will be sixty
feet by ten. Eighteen feet will be reserved for
n living apartment and the rest arranged as .
chapel for public worship. Two Baptist mis-
sionaries will be permanently employed as
preachers for the car. These cathedral cars
will be attached to freight trains and will visit
every hamlet of the west.

Social Caste Undesirable.


But where the family income is already
narrow, it is not easy to conjecture q surer
method of establishing o system Of social
caste than by the acceptance of this neces-
sity Of saving from the income the sum
sufficient for a dowry. 1t would exact a
rigid economy, of a sort to which no one in
this country has been accustomed: scupe
ndigre would take the place of the generous
ronst and steak, and q low and spare diet
wonld create iii time an understood and ILL.,
developed race. The children of the family
would be forced to forego the luxurles and
pleasures enjoyed by the children of families
where the economy was not obligatory: their
clothing would have to be SO different that
they would be mortified il associated with the
children dressed in purple and fine linen;
their experiences, their habits, would be dis
similar, and would naturally separate them;
they would have to resort to schools where
cheaper teachers were employed; they
would have to go without the costly accom-
plishments; many delicate usages would be un-
known to them; they would become middle
class as entirely apart from those of ampler
means and less economies as if living in land
where there was an aristocracy of birth. There
would be, then, an impregnabIe barrier
OF habits, manners and views formed
between classes-a barrier which in the wide
interchanSeabiiity of today does not exist.
Surely this would be poor outcome of our
commonwealth.
