Census Superintendent Porter's Annual
Report-What 1t Cost.

Census Superintendent Porter's Annual
Report-what It Cost.
WARRINGTON, Nov. 30.-Census Super
intendent Porter in his annual report to
the secretary OF the Interior, strongly
urges that the census Office be made a per-
manent bureau of the. interior department.
Mr.. Porter refers to the complaint that
have been made against the accuracy OF the
eleventh census, especially by the author
ities OF certain cities, and says that the
work OF the enumerators has been vindi-
Gated by time.
In regard TO the cost OF the work OF taxi
Ing the eleventh census, Mr.. Porter saws
that the total disbursements from the
commencement of operation, up to June
10, 1892, amounted to SS ,20s, 500. or this
amount 81 ,4S5, ASS was paid to enumera-
tors. The population and social statistics
cost u ,267, ,S66; the statistics of farms,
homes and mortgages 81 ,0O5,771 printing
and stationery S631 ,6S6. 1t Is further
stated that in July 1891 there were 2,33O
clerks on the pay rolls and in June 1892,
the number had been reduced to 1914.
The superintendent Is OF the opinion
that after making due allowance for the
increase or population, of manufactures.
OF agriculture, Of mining, the extension
OF railroads, and after omting from the
calculation the cost of the investigation
OF individual Indebtedness, and the per
capita cost OF the 11th census when com
pleted, will not greatly exceed the per
capita cost OF the 10 thcensus.

The Rev. John Scott Passes Away at
the White House.
REPORT ON THE 18TH CENSUS.
what Has Been Done by the Life savers
During the Year-Reports From other
Departments and bureaus of work
Done and Money Needed.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-Rev. DIR. John
witherspoon Scott, President Harrison's
father in law, died at 4.10 O'Clock yester-
day afternoon. The aged invalid passed
away peacefully. He had been uncon-
scious for hours. Stimulants were admin
istered, but only served TO defer the inev-
table. The President and family are very
much prostrated at their bereavement.
The White House was closed TO visitors
and the usual semi-weekly cabinet meet
ing was omitted.
DIR. Scott was born in Beaver county,
Pa, Jan. %, 1900. He was a son OF George
McElroy Scott, who went from Hucks
county to Beaver county to take charge
Of Presbyterian church.
DIR. Scott graduated from college at
Washington, Pa, and subsequently took
Q post graduate course at Yale. After
ward he accepted professors hip in the
college from which he graduated, which
position he held for two years. About
this time he married Mary Neal, and GO
ing west, he accepted a professorship in
Miami University at Miami, Ohio, in
1926.
While there three children were born to
him: Elizabeth, afterwards Mrs. Lord
Carolina, afterwards Mrs. Harrison, and
John Neal Scott. A number OF years later
DIR. Scott founded the Oxford, Ohio, fe-
male college and in 1850 became its presi-
dent.
AS he advanced In years DR.. Scott gave
up the college work and coming to Wash
ington he was appointed TO a clerkship in
the Interior department, which position
he held until the advent i'm Washington
OF President Harrison, when he resigned
and took up his abode at the White
House. Here he was surrounded with
every comfort, and led q happy, contented
and tranquil existence.
DIR. Scott was always the first riser OF
the Presidents household. Although he
always had a carriage at his disposal he
scarcely ever used it, preferring to walk.
He attended TO a large correspondence
and was engaged for months prior to his
death on yoluminous genealogy of the
Scott family, but was unable to finish il.
Monseignor satolii, the papal legate.
Archbishop Ireland and the Rev. Father
O'Gorman, called at the White House to

HOW To Glenn a Clock.

A fine eight day cuckoo clock stood in
one corner of the kitchen, inside the
case of which Jenny kept his single
barreled gun; good one it was, and al
ways kept ready loaded. 81 like to have
things ready and handylike," he was
wont to remark; ''yOu never know when
they may be near"-the birds he meant.
There was no gun license needed in
those days, only Il game certificate. The
things that did come when Jenny was
about seldom went away again. The
clock was a good one, but the bird had
not shouted properly for some time; one
day he would tune up all right and the
next he was mute. Mother said she
really must have it cleaned, but she
never could make up her mind to let it
90 out of the house.
One day-the very day when this
really was going to be done-a boy came
rushing from the farmyard into the
kitchen, where Jenny was having his
snack of lunch alone, to tell him, ''Some-
thing had come, and he'd best be quick,
for it was on the move like" Jenny
opened the clock case and hurriedly
caught up the gun, as he had done scores
of times before, but not with the same
result. In the haste of the moment he
touched one Of the weights. 1t swayed.
The hammer of his gun hit the bottom
of the weight, which threw it back, and
off she went, bang!-right through the
works. Down fell the cuckoo. The
mother was ups stairs when she heard the
report; her first thoughts were for
Jenny. "Jem, my boy, what have you
done" she cried For a moment he
looked speechless at the wreck; then he
shouted back, 'All right, mother; I've
only cleaned the clock. Cornhill Mag.

A Cnrinns Nnrthern Ierend.

On the coast of Kamchatka there is
an island known as ''The Island of Talk
ing Dogs" The curious story connected
with this little spot of land, and the one
which gives it the name it bears is this,
according to an odd Asiatic legend:
The first inhabitants of the far north
did not employ dogs, but drew their
walrus rib sleds themselves. After ages
had elapsed men made an attempt touse
the dogs of that region-which, by the
way, talked just as men do-as beasts of
burden. The talking dogs, however,
argued the case with their would be
masters and were not long in proving
that they had enough to do to catch
game for themselves and the children of
men. But the men soon learned the use
of the bow and the spear, thus running
the occupation Of the talking dogs.
Again an attempt was made to harness
them to sledges, but the talking CANNES
rebelled, and all swan out to the island,
afterward known by the title given in
the opening. Here game was scarce
and the dogs soon turned cannibals, and
by the end Of the first winter there were
only seven left.
Some human Kamchatkans volun-
teered to rowoHt to the island and bring
off the remnant of the dog colony. But
the dogs refused to leave their barren
island, each earnestly askingi "What
people are you? We have never seen
you before" For this untruth Chani,
the dog god, took their voices from
them, and until this day they have been
the dumb servants of man.-St. Louis

whoa there, 1 say; whoa, you bruter'
The man jerked his horse savagely,
pulling him right and left for the simple
reason that when he had left the poor
animal moment it had moved toward
q spot of grass, which it began to nibble,
when it was refined up by its angry
master.
At the same moment another man
who had stopped his team opposite was
lifting dozen jolly boys and girls from
his truck and dropping them gently on
the grass.
"Thank you, mister" they chorused
as, smiling, he drove away.
Out Of the goodness of his heart he
had treated them to a ride. His neigh
Dor vented his bad temper on his horse.
The conditions Of the men were paral.
lels, but their souls were as far apart as
the poles. Smiles and scowls indicate
the moral temperature.-Detroit Free

The Tomb Of Eve,

The Arabs claim that Ewes tomb is at
Jiddah, the seaport of Mecca. The tenn
pie, with palm tree growing out of a
crack in the rock roof, which is Of itself
one of the wonders of the orient, is sup
posed to be built directly over the last
resting place of the first woman. Ac-
cording to Arab tradition Eve meas
ured over 200 feet in height, which, un'
likely as it may seem, strangely COIN
cides with an account of our first par
ents written by a member of the French
academy, who also claimed height o.
over 200 feet for both of the tenants of
the garden of Eden.
Ewes tomb, which is burying ground
that is surrounded by high wall, the
gate to which has not been opened for q
Single inteTment for over 1000 years, is
the shrine of thousands of devoted Ish-
maelites, who make pilgrimage to the
spot once every seven years. Once each
year, on June 3, which is, according to
Arabian legends the anniversary Of the
death Of Abel, the doors to the tomb of
our first mother remain open all night,
no odds what precautions are taken to
keep them closed. Terrible cries of an
guish are said to emit from the tomb, as
though the memory of the first known
tragedy still haunted the remains which
blind superstition believe to be deposited
there.-Philadelphia Press.

An Error in the Inrh,s Prnuer

a party of gentlemen were the other
evening discussing literary subjects
when one asked another to point out the
grammatical blunder in the Lords
Prayer. Half dozen tried; some
thought it lay in the words, (which art
in heaven" others placed it elsewhere,
but not one detected it in the expression,
"For thine is the kingdom, the power
and the glory" To be perfectly correct
the word 'is" should be "are, " but people
have used it in the present form so long
that they never think of regarding it as
a blunder. There are teachers who say
such an expression is right, because it
sounds right, but reverse it and say,
The kingdom. the power and the glory
is thine" and the fault is soon perceived.
