COUNTING BY MACHINE.
How the Census Returns are Footed
Up IN Washington.
From the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
The third floor Of the census building on
Ninth street has the appearance of a factory
or machine shop. If is very tidy and airy
machine shop, however, where nice-looking
girls in cool white dresses are at work at
the long rows of counting machines. At
first glance the machines remind one of up
right pianos. They have handsome oak
cases and each one occupies about the same
space piano does They are, however.
eminently practical machines, and with
their aid some fifteen young ladies can
count accurately 100000 names day. 1t is
expected that when the work of counting
the census returns really begins that there
will be seventy or eighty of these machines
at work.
CENSUS RETURNS COMING IN SLOWLY.
The returns from the census districts
throughout the country are coming
in slowly. There are more than
$4,000 of these districts, and SO far
only about $500 districts have sent in
the returns. As fast as the returns come
in they are counted, although not as rapid as
they will be, as it is necessary to train the
young ladies in the use of the machines. In
making this count, which is known as the
trough count" the returns for each district
are counted twice. After being counted on
one machine they are passed over to another.
and when tho latter count is completed the
two are compared, and if there are discrep-
ancies necessary corrections are made. Fol-
lowing this method, if the total population
of the country is 60,000000 there will be
counted in the census office an equivalent to
10000, 900 names.
HOW THE MACHINES ARE OPERATED.
The machines, which are the invention of
Mr.. Hollerith, aud supplement his tabulat-
ing machines, are very simple A key
board, resembling that of a typewriter is at
the right of the operator. Each KEY has a
number from one to twenty. The operator
has pile of census schedules at her left
side, and as she turns the schedules over she
notes the figures which indicate the number
of members in each family enumerated in
that schedule. IL there are five members in
family she strikes the key marked five.
When q key is struck an electric connection
Is established with the hands on a dial
i'll the frame work in front of the operator.
That dial is marked No. 5, which means it
records the number of families consisting
of five persons. Each time No. key is
struck No. dial records one. When che
count is completed the recorded number on
each dial is multiplied by the number Of the
dial, the results added up and the total
number Of individuals in that district is
ascertained. If the same result is obtained
by different operator then it is concluded
that the count IS correct. 1t is expected
that by the use of these machines the results
of the census will be known much sooner
than by any other known method.

AFTER OPERATING. wHATq
How the TeIegraphers Answer the
Question.
From the Neic York Sun.


From the Neic York Sun.
One-third of the telegraph operators Of
the country are continually preparing them
selves for other professions, while the other
two-thirds are continually thinking of do
gin So OF the 100 men working on the
regular night force in the Western Union
main office at 1875 Broadway, SO of them
are either studying or working at some
thing else days. They are divided up at as
follows:
Doctors, s; lawyers, 6; ministers, 8 :;
brokers, 6; actors, 2; theatrical managers,
9; real estate dealers, 2; inventors, | book
agents, / manufacturers, l A.; civil engineers,
/; authors, l; commercial business, l;
electrical supply agents, /; composer Of
music, l.
This represents only one office. The
offices of the various other companies in
this city have just as large list in proper
ton to the men they employ, while those of
other cities are also numbered in what is
called the progressive procession.
This evolutionary business has been going
on for years, and scores of prominent men
in all branches of business and in all pro-
fessions can be traced back to the telegraph
ranks. Among them are Andrew Carnegie
ex-Gov. Cornell, Thomas A. Edison, and
George KEENAN,, the Siberian traveller. The
fever didn't become general, however, until
about twenty years ago, when ex-Gov.
Cornell, at the unwilling Of the statute of
Prof. Morse in Central Park. spoke slight
lngly OF the future of the business, and adj
vised all operators to get into something
else as soon as possible. Since then there
has been veritable stampede.
The method of making the change is diff
ferent from that employed by men in other
walks of life. Operators never have fat
places thrust upOn them This is Decause
they never come in contact with leaders in
the business world. SO if they ever expect
to get anything better they must reach for
1t. Most of the operators who desire a
change are men of families, consequently
they have TO move discreetly and do con-
siderable economical juggling. Being with
out any capital except their own energy
and ambition they choose profession. The
two most in favor are medicine and law.
The next thing to be done is to acquire it.
But this isn't such an easy matter.
The only thing in their favor is their
hours Of duty. These are regular. Tele-
graph offices have three separate forces.
The day force reports for duty at 8. a. M,
and is off at $3.50 p. m, the regular night
force relieves the day force at that hour,
the all night force relieves the night force
at 80 a. m, and is in turn relieved at by
the day force again. The regular night
force is the most available, end the small
army of aspirants for greatness in other
ranks struggle upon it. They are given no
extra privileges by the companies, but are
subjected to the same stringent rules and
regulations that governed the rest of the
men. In fact, they have harder time
of it than the majority of the operators,
because they are ordinarily strictly first
class, and are consequently compelled to do
the hardest work

1t was the Speaker,


A large and rather numbering individual
rolled ponderously out of an avenue car at
the Fifteenth street junction about 6o'cIock
the other evening and stood for moment
gazing about him in apparent perplexity.
He had big, round head, that looked as if
it might hold bucketful of brains, under
the broad-brimmed straw, which was
pushed well back on the roll of fat that
bulged out above his coat collar. His fan
mel shirt was of truculent and aggressive
type that would brook no denial and in it's
ample folds the hues of an italian sunset,
the dying dolphin and a fresh-cut water
melon commended for the mastery. 1t was a
shirt on which to write sonnets or spill beer,
and the necktie that went with it could, if
necessary, sing little higher up in G than
even the shirt. The feet of this imposing
figure were encased in pair of shoes which
it would be base tiattery to call russell.
They were yellow-pumpkin yellow-the
color of a Fourteenth street car or the
chariot of Cinderalla's fairy godmother.
But the chiefest glory of this astounding
apparition was the sash. Not Gordon nor
a Stanley nor any other of the inventions so
dear to the heart and purse of the dude, but
a sash so broad or beam, SO generous OF
girth, so Falstaffian in its enbonpoint that
Barnes of Georgia would have ratified
around in its periphery.
We say the figure hesitated and seemed to
debate within its mighty bulk at the cross
ing. The straw hat was pushed still farther
back from the beaded and troubled brow
The great sash moved slowly up and down
with the play of pent emotion. The yellow
shoes shifted uneasily, first one way and
then the other.
1t was Speaker Reed for, perhaps, the
first time in his life, in state Of perplexity.
For while his large and statesmanlike
stomach was urgently pleading to be taken
up to the Shoreham to get his dinner, his
flannel shirt, dude sash and yellow shoes
