The Census in New York and Philadelphia.
The census of New York city at the
best constitutes a most difficult prob
lem. In comparison with such a task
a census of Philadelphia is child's play.
There we have a city openly built, with
ninety houses to every hundred families.
Tenement houses are rare Few of the
people sleep in stables, in cellars or in
lofts. The houses are set squarely on
the streets. Four-ffths of the inhabit-
ants are native born, and all but a
trifing percentage are of English
speech.
Merely to state these facts is, to one
who knows anything Of New York.
enough to show the difficulties of emu
meration in that city, which in 1880
had for 243, 157 families but 1854
dwellings, Of which perhaps 20. 600 were
tenement houses within the meaning of
the sanitary acts
New York is city of courts and al
leys in the lower parts and with thou
sands of shanties, sheds and inhabited
sites in the upper parts, and its popula-
ton is almost equally divided between
natives and foreigners, no small pro
portion Of the latter element using
languages other than English-not
merely the more or less familiar Ger
man and French but Slavic and even
non-Aryan tongues. General Francis

Edward s. Willard, the famous Eng
iish actor, is to appear at the Burtis opera
house at Davenport Tuesday evening in
The Middleman." Many interesting
reminiscerc IS are told of Mr. Willard.
During that portion OF Edward SFWil-
lard's London career which was given up
to the playing of villain parts he was much
pointed out by bus men. cab drivers and
others as very cold>blooded person in
deed. These fellows felt that man who
was such q perfect villain on .he stage,
must be "a bad 'un" at heart, and they
limited dark things about him and pre-
tended to feel rather unsafe when be hap.
pened near. The role that brought him
the most fame in this line YVES that of the
Spider" in The Silver King. and before
that piece was half through its run Mr..
Willard was known by everybody as The
Spider"
One night he had taken the bus as
usual from his home to the theatre and,

When the conductor came after his fare
Mr.. Willard handed a coin over his shout
der. The change was put into his hand
and, simply by feeling it, Mr.. Willard
detected a shortage.
"Sixpence more, please" he said, with
out looking around.
Il think that's right, sir. said the con-
ductor.
"Sixpence more, please" said Mr.. Will
lard sweetly.
The conductor counted the change,
apologized and added the required six,
pence. When Mr.. willard got down al
the end of the line he heard the driver
say to the conductor with ibfaite dis,
gust:
"Wot blooming mug you must be &c
try that on i'm. Don't you know who that
it? Why. that's the SPIDER That's
who's is"

custom Wednesday afternoon of cons

Mrs. II. 3. Sudlow, as pre- sident Of the
Rock Island Ladies Relief society, had
previously instructed her ward managers
to report to the High school all families
who were known TO be in want and dis
tress, and the consequence was that 20
barrels of vegetables aud apples were dis,
tributed among the poor of the city
Wednesday evening and yesterday morn

children in cooperation with the Ladies'
society. There are still some vegetables
left at the High school, and families in
need of them may have the same by call

Tomorrow afternoon the sewing school
of the Relief society meets again, and as
the ladies are in great need of teachers,
it is hoped that some applications may be
received from some charitably disposed
ladies who are competent to serve.
