STATISTICAL SLIPS.

THE population of ireland continues
to decline, and appears to have dropped
some $4,000 in number during the past
year. The lowest point of this present
century has now been reached. It's
zenith was in 1s45, when there were
$3.50, 900. The estimate for to-day Is
3, SOC, 900.
SOME statistician has figured out that
for the annual nourishment of $1,000, 600
COWS and 1900, 900 horses there are
needed 10000. 900 tons of hay. 10000, 600
bushels of cornmeal, the same of oat-
meal, 275, 200, 900 bushels of oats, 2, O00, 600
bushels of bran and 80, 600, 900 bushels of
corn at cost of $3.50, OOO,O GOO.
THE chief of the London fire brigade
has published statistics of fires in thea
tors throughout tho world in 1889. He
says that Is theaters were destroyed, 10
persons killed, 81 badly wounded, and
goes on to prove by figures that by en-
tering a theater person improves
his chances of an untimeiy end.
IT appears from carefully prepared
statistics that when the proportion of
unemployed increases the marriage rate
declines, and vice versa. According to
the figures furnished by the unions, it is
found that the fluctuations in the
amount of employment in few trades
are a close index of the fluctuations in
the marriage rate of the whole country.
GERMANY took the lead as the coun-
try of syndicates in 1889. Ninety-two
are known to have been formed there,
while the United States had So, Aus
tria, 80, Great Britain 81, France 6,
Ruaeia Ra1Oium italy q Sweden 4
and Denmark 1. In addition, eleven in
ternational trusts were formed to con-
troll copper, zinc. nitrates, rails mirror
glass, sugar, dynamite, and hotels A
great many other syndicates and trusts
were undoubtedly formed, but their ex.
istsnce was not formally recorded.

GAINESVILLE, Tex, Sept 2.-Ex-Sen-
ator Sam Paul, late Progressive candi-
date for Governor of the Chickasaws
states that he will leave for Washing
ton In a few days to have the validity of
the August election passed upon Dy the
Supreme Court of the United States.
He claims that the election was carried
by the bo1dest fraud and intimidation.
Heretofore he says, the Progressive party
has been numerously represented in the
Legislature, the lower house of the body
which preceded the one recently elected
having had nine members to eleven of
the Antt-Progressive party, and the
Senate bore the same proportion, while
in the late election not a single candi-
date of the Progressive ticket was
granted a certificate of election.

A great mi any men, friends as we'll as
enemies of Mr.. Cleveland, have thought
that he made mistake in sending his
great tariff reform message TO Congress
in 1887 1t is admitted that he was
practically sure of reelection IL the
message had not been written.
Through it all Cleveland gave no ex-
preston of the motives which influenced
him in sending the message to Congress.
Recently, however, agentleman in New
York City has given to the public Mr..
Cleveiand's own explanation of his mo-
tives- This is Mr.. Walter Stanton, a
WOODEN manufacturer. Mr.. Stanton says
that Cleveland said to him some time
after the message was written: 81 had
but one idea in my mind and but one
desire in my heart when I made that
declaration of principles. which was to
extend helping hand to the agricultural
and laboring classes"

who was shot to death in the cabin of
the Pacific Mail steamship Acapulco. at
San Jose de Guatemala last week, at
tempted to shoot United States Minister
Miner yesterday.
Mr.. Miner was at the desk translat-
ing the guarantee given to him by this
Government that Barrundia's life would
be spared in case he was surrendered,
when the young woman camo into the
Office. AS the Minister looked up from
his work she was standing within four
feet of him with revolver in her
hands
She saluted him, saying: Are you the
American Minister"
Mr.. Miner replied: 81 am. Can be
of any service to you?"
With flashing eyes she accused him of
having been directly the cause of her
fathers death. and announced that she
meant to kill him Mr.. Miner took
the matter coolly and tried to reason
with the girl, who was apparently al
most crazed with excitement, and
In the most tragic manner poured
on him the bitterest invective
BILE. At last she pulled the trigger of
the pistol. Mr.. Miner had taken up a
heavy law book, which he, with appar-
emit carelessness, held between himself
and the girl and the bullet which was
meant for his heart was caught between
the leaves of the book. The sound of
the shot attracted attention and before
a second could be fired assistance ar
rived and the pistol was taken from the
young woman.
Throughout the entire exciGing inter
view, Mr.. Miner maintained the ut
most GOODNESS, though the only thing
between him and the muzzle of a pistol
held in the hands of a woman who evil
IDENTIFY intended to shoot him was
heavy law book His GOODNESS unques-
tionably saved his life. Policemen
were called and the young woman was
arrested. She proved to be Christina
Barrundia, daughter of the murdered
General.
AS soon as Barillas heard of the oc-
currence he sent his respects and offered
the power OF his Government to protect
the American legation. Mr.. Miner,
however, declined the offer, will not
prosecute the lady and insists that no
further notice shall be taken of the af-
fair. 1t is generally believed here that
Barrundia would have been in no
danger of death had he not resisted ar
