The British government will soon
take the census of India. The British
censuses go into no such variety OF sub,
jccts as ours, and in this case little will
be done except cnumerate the vast pop
ulation. But even this is a diihculj
undertaking. The enumcrator in India
has a rather tougher time of il than
even the enumerator who attempted to
get answers to all the questions put
down by Porter. lie doesn't have to
ask the Indian ladies how old they are,
or the head of the family how much be-
is behind on his grocery bills, hut he is
mistaken for an evil emiSsary sent out
either to levy another tax, or, what is
infinitely worse, 10 procure a list OF
persons cligable for the horrid rclig'
ious sacrifices Of the country. The
prople are taxed 70 death, and, how.
ever devout, object strongly to being
slaughtered for these c~eremonials, and
it is easy to see that the cnumcrator is
a decidedly unwclcome visitor.

LOCAL STOCKS.
Four Surprises on the Washington
Exchange-What a Dealer Says.

-Four Surprises on the Washington
Exchange-what a Dealer Says.
There were nothing less than four
surprises on the Washington stock ex-
change yesterday. The large Offering
Of Columbia National Bank stock was
surprise number one. One hundred
and fifty shares of this valuable stock
were taken in less time than it takes to
record it. A round lot of 100 was
offered and taken at 1S1, drop of J
from the price paid for 10 shares the
previous day, which went at 1891
Fifty shares more were offered at $50
and promptly accepted. The closing
bid was at 1S0 and the lowest Offering
at 1856.
Surprise number two was the fact
that no other transactions were made
during or after the regular call. Sur.
pIise number three was the apparent
withdrawal of Graphophone stock from
the market. There was a nominal of.
fering of few shares at 10 and a nomi.
nal bid of 13, but no disposition was
shown to trade at any lower price than
10. A prediction was made early in the
day by a prominent dealer who has
been large buyer st the extremely low
prices that have recently obtained. He
said x predict that to-day is the last
opportunity that will be afforded
for some time to secure cheap
Graphophone stock" Surprise mum
her four was the strength of Electric
Light stock. The bid was an advance
from 112 10 113, and the offering price
moved up two points to 116. 1t is no
often that a guess is SO thoroughly
verified as was the suggestion that tht
Electric Light stock recently sold 81
cheap was borrowed. The happy
buyer said to a friend in whose
uame the stock stood: II was
sorry 10 see that the stock
bought was yours " "Never fear,
was the reply, 81 only loaned out the
certificate and have already taken step:
10 have a like number of shares returned
10 me. 1t is by such practice that the
effort is made to deceive the public int
the belief that certain stocks are on til,
decline.

Prize Fighters in Training


Prize Fighters in Training.
The Golhams, the celebrated colored
team from New York, made brave
stand against the Washington team
yesterday for few innings, but when
the clubs got to work in earnest the
local team ran away from the visitors
and finished winner of the game by a
score of 10 to /. The contest was about
the same as the other games the local
team have played, and was character
lied by heavy and timely batting and
superb fielding. There were a number
of clever plays on each side, the main
ones being the work of Bell at short
for the visitors and o Brien's good field.
ing for the local team.
To day the Washiugtons will cross
bats with the Philadelphia League
leam. This will be the strongest club
the local team has met, and its work in
TO. days game should furnish good
index of its true ability Gleason will
pitch for the visitors. and Maloney will
be the pitcher for Sullivan's nine.
Jack Hopper, who is matched to meet
Billy Myers in tenround glove fight
on the 2Sth, is hard at work His
friends are sanguine that he will stay
during the allotted number of rounds,
If, indeed, he does not best Myers. Last
night they were willing 10 risk their
money, and in almost every case 1t was
taken. Hopper is a clever boxer, and,
while he has shown his ability to make
a game fight, he is not in the same class
with Myers. The fight, to speak
plainly, is only to give the hackers a
stake and to promote the interest in
Myers tour through the South.
The match between the Black Pearl
and Isaac Murphy has been postponed
until Tuesday morning. Murphy is
not in condition and has a very badly
swollen knee, and cannot fight for sew
eral days. The Pearl is all right, and
is anxiously waiting for the fight. If
Murphy is In condition by Tuesday the
fight will take place, otherwise it will
be postponed indefinitely.

BOYS, TAKE WARNING.
Some of the Queer Results of Over
Indulgence In "Smiling."

some of the Queer Results of Over
indulgence In "Smillng."
Some Of the delusions of mania potu
are queer as well as horrible. They are
the result Of the excessive and con-
tinued use of alcoholic liquors. DIR. A.
e. Rodney. who is trying to secure the
establishment of an inebriate asylum in
Baltimore, while here on visit, gave
THE CRITIC man few illustrations that
came under his personal observation.
Mania potu,' he said, "is COM
monty and locally called by several diff
ferent names In New York when a
man is affected with it they say he has
rats in his garret, or that Brooklyn
say he is bug housey;' in Washington
that he has snakes, while in the South
he is said TO be dancing 'barley-cor
jig,
The Doctor said he once had a pa
tient whose delusion was that he was
pursued by great number of spiders
as large as sparrows. They had yellow
bodies, bright red heads and long green
legs. The man ran rapidly through
the streets under the impression that he
was pursued by the horrible looking
insects until he fell from exhaustion.
Then imagining that they were swarm
ing over him he swooned and was re-
moved to the hospital
Another man was followed about by
three or four hideouslooking dwarfs,
wearing wide sombreros and armed
with dangerous-looking daggers. He
entered police station for protection
and was sent 10 the hospital. Still
another victim of the mania was ar
rested while wildly swinging club
about his head trying TO protect him
self from a swarm Of huge bats with
human heads.
The commonest delusions," said
Dr. Rodney, "apply to snakes and
hired assassins, who follow their vic
tins stealthily from place to place. IL
my experience alone with the disorder
l have recorded nearly $50 distinct de
lusions in cases of mania potu."'
