FAIR HAVEN NEWS. for the Census men-Captain 1 Seaman's Projected vessel-Bxse Ball | Knthuslasts-Judge Demingss Little l Book-Falr Haven's New Industries | The St. Francis Parish Fair. Our citizens are awaiting the advent of the | census enumerator with feeling of some little trepidation in view of the magnitude of questions which are to be pyopounded and must be answered. A series of twenty.nine different questions that must be answered seems quite appalling and the interrogations of the directory man are but a drop iu the bucket in comparison. Such questions as these will be looked upon by some as rather immaterial to Uncle Sam in the array of sta- tistics in his big census books, and some there may be who will demur to answering:
 "Age at nearest birthday"
 Months unemployed during the census year,
 Able to read. Able to write: Able to speak Whether deficient in mind, sight, hearing or spec speech: or whether crippled. rpamed or deformed, pauper.'

It is expected that the vessel will carry 1,700 tons of coal, being about tho same tonnage as the James G. Beecher recently launched at Ham, scom's yard. The new flyer will cost about $47,00O. The vessel will have three decks. If the builders have good luck the new craft can be foated in November. Gap. tnfv uhn k1vy yo6 from this place to Madison to super intend the building of the new craft, has been very successful navigator, having commanded the Fair Haven built schooners, the John H. Tingue and w. w. Converse, and was active in the construction of the James G. Beecher. He also previously com- manded several vessels of large size from other points. Captain Seaman was in the Tingue when che raced with the J. l.. Treat across the Atlantic. As the dimensions and size of the projected vessel and the James G. Beecher are very much alike, our marine men hope that as soon as possible after the launching those vessels may fall into com pany on the raging main that their speed may be fully tested.
