The bulletin recently issued By the
census office, giving the receipts and
expenditures Of 100 cities, has been
more or less criticised in the newspa-
pers- The accuracy of the figures given
have been questioned and the array of
statistics has been pronounced worth
less. 1t seems. however, that the criti-
cisms thus far have been of a general
character. for Superintendent Porter
states that although the bulletin has
been issued several weeks, no officer Of
any city has pointed out any error in it
either in the amounts or the classifica-
ton. He says that, if any errors should
hereafter be pointed out the office will
gladly correct it before Incorporating
the figures in the final census volumes.

Mrs Catherine Sandell spent all OF yes
terday in Judge Coffey's courtroom paying
the closest attention to the witnesses sum-
moned by her relatives to show that she Is
not competent to manage her property,
which is worth about So, 1000.
A striking contrast to the venerable
woman in the soier garments BETTING her
age was the sprightly young barber who
married her several months ago. She is 70,
with white hair and sunken checks; ne Is
"a, ruddy and robust. The reasons given
for testing her sanity are her marriage to the
young man and the permission she has
given him to manage her property.
OF course it is alleged that it was for her
money that Sandell married his aged con-
sort, who was the widow Bernheimer The
couple lived together very happily until a
short time ago, when Mrs. Amelia Sherman
and Margaret Broder, daughters of Mrs.
Sandell, petitioned the court 10 place her in
control of a guardian.
The first witness examined yesterday was
N. NJ. Ford, one OF Mrs. Sandelf tenants.
He said that he considered her incompetent
to manage her property because she was
under the influence of love ana liquor.
George +. Dunn testified that he did not
know much about Mrs SandelPs condition.
He visited her quito often and she fire.
quently drank liquor.
Jacob Broder. Mrs. Sandell's son-in-law.
said that she and the barber were married
without the knowledge OF her friends. The
witness was at one time driven out OF the
house at the point of revolver. He also
said that Sandell would not permit his
wife's relatives to visit her and that when
she was sick lie filed her with whisky.
Other witnesses were examined and the
case went over until TODAY,
