THE HUMAN FAMILY.

The human family living on earth today
consists of about 1,450, 100000 souls-not
fewer, probably more. These are distributed
literally all over the earth's surface, there
being no considerable spot on the globe
where man has not found a foothold. In
Asia, the so-called "cradle of the human
race" there are now about 600000,000 peo-
pie densely crowded, on an average of about
120 to every square mile. In Europe there
are 800, 100000, averaging 100 to the square
mile-not SO crowded as Asia, but every
where dense, and in many places over-popu-
lated. In Africa there are, approximately,
2I0 900, 900, and in the Americas-Nort
South and Central-110, ,000, 900, these latter,
of course, relatively thinly scattered over
broad areas On. the islands, large and
small there are probably 100, 600, 900 more.
The extremes of the blacks and the whites
are as five to three, the remaining 700, 900, 600
intermediate, brown, yellow and tawny in
color. OF the entire race, 500,000,0 900 are
well clothed-that is, they wear garments of
some kind that will cover hakedness-250, :
COO 600 habitually go naked, and 100000, 600
only cover the middle parts of the body; /;
100000, 900 live in houses, 700, 100000 in huts
and caves, the remaining 250,000,O00 virtu-
ally having no place to lay their heads

MISS BARRowoLIFFs ANXIETY.
Wants to Get Back to work for
Fear of Losing Her Scholars.

Fear of Losing Her Scholars.
"Ah dear! am afraid if I don't hurry
up and get we'll l will lose all my scholars.
They will get tired of waiting for me and
will engage some one else. must get bacl;
to my teaching pretty soon or won't have
any pupils to teach. !"
Miss Barrowcliff's sole anxiety, as she lies
in the private room at the City Hospital, is at
the thought of losing her music scholars. She
speaks OF them often and asks the nurse and
Mrs Osborne, how soon they think she will be
able to resume teaching Her mind is per-
fectly clear now and she is able to talk intel
ligently of her friends and of herself. She
has thrown no further light on the circum-
stances of her assault, and the opinion Of
those connected with the case is that she
never will.
Bolstered up in big arm chair, she sits at
the window for q few minutes each day.
She can't sit up, however, for more than fif-
teen minutes without growing dizzy. She
takes little solid food each day. As soon
as DR.. DR.. Varick and the nurses give their
permission she will be removed to Warden
Osbornes. house, where Warden Osborne
will care for her. She will stay there until
she can make plans for the future. 1t may
be weeks, however, before she will be in con-
dition to be removed
"All this talk" said Warden Osborne,
''about her making plans for going to Eng
land is mere fiction The subject has never
been broached to her and she has never
brought it up. Miss Dexter and she had
planned to go in the spring and that is prob
ably how the story became circulated. She
has made no plans for the future herself,
nor has anyone made any for her. Her
sole anxiety seems to be to resume her teach

their numerous institutions for their work

to raise the condition of their workmen have
been made in various ways. The Krupps
have built over 1000 houses, from frame
dwellings, of two rooms, renting at SIS a
year, up to six-room houses renting at $50 a
year they have expended a large sum of
money on thens earning about two per cent.
on the investment but this, with much
more, has been spent in benefiting the work

The cooperative stores, managed by the
Krupps at their own risk, include fifteen
retail grocery stores, nine branch stores,
with one main store for general merchandise,
a shoe factory with three stores, a hardware

A CHINESE WOMAN NURSE.

Probably the first Chinese woman in this
country to wish to qualify herself as nurse
and doctor is Cy Yoke of San Francisco.
When baby she was sold by her parents in
China to highbinders, and by them brought
to the United States. She was early taken
charge of by the Methodist Mission, was
raised and educated at mission home, and
has for the past three years supported her
self by nursing among the Chinese. She
feels SO keenly her lack of knowledge in her
chosen work that she is desirous of studying
first in nurses training school and after
wards at medical college. The chief diff
Guilty in her way is the opposition of the
other pupils in the nurses school, some of
whom object to having Chinese girl room
with them, eat with them, and meet them on
plane of equality. The final decision in
the matter rests with the Board of Lady
Managers Haypes's BazGr.

Why the Senate Judiciary Committee
May Oppose Him.
WASHINGTON, Jan, a. 1694.-In the ordi-
nary course of events the Senate Judiciary
Committee, to whom the nomination of Mr..
Wheeler H. Peckham as Associate Justice of
Supreme Court was referred the day before
yesterday, will not meet till Monday next,
the regular meeting day, and it is not likely
that in this early stage of the proceedings a
special moeting will be called to consider the
case, with Senator Hill, member of the
committee, occupying an attitude of open
and pronounced hostility to the confirmation
of the nominee. Several special meetings
were held on the Hornblower case,
but that was after the mat
ter had been considered and laid over
at several regular meetings. The statement
was made with Fsome positiyeness yester-
day that during the last administration the
Judiciary Committee laid down rule of
action and commune ated their determine
tion to President Harrison that they would
not report favorably upon the confirmation
of any nominee for Justice of the Supreme
Court who was over sixty years of age. 1t
seems SO far as can be learned that this was
an informal agreement reached some time
time ago and if it is to be revived now could
be used to place Mr.. Peckham under the
ban without going further into the merits or
the demerits of his case, as he was born jan
uary 1, 1888, and is therefore sixty-one years
of age.

HORRIBLE OUTRAGE BY BRIGANDs
They Mutflate an Old Man and Rob
Him.
BIZ Gable to the United Pres

MADRID, JAN "A, 1S94.-A most barbarous
outrage is reported from Arcods de la From
terra, in Andalusia, thirty miles northeast OF
Cadiz. Two brigands entered the house of
Senior Jose Castillo, septuagenarian, who
has the reputation of being quite wealthy
and seized and blindfolded him. Castillo's
niece, who was in the house, was also seized
and bound hand and foot. The brigands
then demanded that Castillo inform them
where his money was. The latter refused to
tell, whereupon the brigands, drawing
knives, proceeded to mutilate Castillo in
frightfu1 manner. They then took their
prisoner and suspended him in a
deep WELL threatening to drop him to the
bottom unless he disclosed the hiding place
of his money Suffering terrible agony from
the injuries inflicted upon him, and not
doubling that his captors would put their
threat into execution, Castillo told them
where he had hidden his money.
The bandits went to the place and found
only eight dollars, which they seized. Find
ing that that was the only money on the
premises the two brigands started to depart,
but friend of Castillo, who had seen
that there was something wrong at
Castillo's house. and suspected that robbery
was being committed, notified the police,
who arrived Just as the robbers were going
away Both the brigands were ar
rested. The police learned that two
women servants in the house
had aided the brigands in entering and they,
too, were taken into custody. 1t is doubtful
If Castillo will survive his injuries. 49,

suddenly appeared at the house, while the
visitors slid out of the back door.
Then there was fuss, and Whitaker left

following story:-He was from Boston and
could not get work He had.an aunt living
in Westfeld, and he was trying to reach her
home. Wouldn't Mr.. Bruce assist him to
get to her by giving him little money. If
he didn't get the money by S P NJ. he would
surely commit suicide. Just then Mounted
Patrolman Mackey reigned up his horse in

whispering to the minister said :-'sTell him

He described himself at the station house as
Geo. E. Walton twenty four years old, of No.

found upon him over a dollar in change and
long list of wealthy people living on the

that he had been calling on them
systematically giving them all the

One of the people on whom he had called

He was arraigned in the Third Criminal
Court yesterday morning. and was held for

THE ATLANTIC RACE COURSE.
Giant Steamers to Contest = Mail
ROuntfes the Prize.

New YORK, Jan. %, 1694.-An interesting
contest to score point in the controversy
about carrying the English and American
mails was begun at this port today between
the two crack steamships, the Majestic of the
White Star line, and the New York of the
American line
Each Captain will do his utmost despite
winter storms and battling seas to get the
mail matter in London ahead of his rival.
A victory of q few hours will count much
IN the steamship company's claim for the
Government contract. The outcome will be
for speedy delivery of their letters, and by
the advocates of the English Steamship
Companies and the American Line.
Both steamers started shortly after seven
o'clock this morning. The Majestic carried
seyenty-eight bags of letters and ninety
one bags Of newspapers: These were all
speedily addressed, sPer Majestic"
The New York carried 1S3 bags of letters
and 446 bags of newspapers. A small part
of this mail consisted of the bags originally
sent out on the Normannia for Mediterran-
can ports.
The steamers are worthy representatives
of each line. Both have made records across
the ocean. The New York created a new
record from here to Queenstown when she
~
minutes, in August, 1899. Her average
speed was 20. II knots an hour.
The Majestic in August, 1891, made new
westward record by arriving here from
Queenstown in 8 days, IS hours and 8
minutes. In February of tn same year she
made an average speed of 2041 knots an
hour. Her best westward run was in Sep
tember, 1890. 1t was days, % hours and
IL minutes
The New York goes to Southampton,
where she lands her mails The Majestic
will deliver her mail matter at Queenstown,
Ireland. The winter course is 1880 nautical
miles to the latter port and 3,100 miles to
Southampton.
At Queenstown the Majestics mail will be
put aboard fast train and carried to Dub
lin. 1t will then be taken across the chan
mel to Holyhead and thence by rail to Lon
don, arriving there in about fourteen and a
half hours.
A special train will take the New Yorks
mail from Southampton to London in one
hour and forty minutes.

LAST TARIFF TALKS.
A Southern Democrat Revives the
Old Wages Chestnut.

WASHINGTON, JAN "a, 1S94.-Very
promptly after the meeting of the House
this morning, and with the intervention of
very little routine business, the House went
into Committee Of the Whole to consider the
Wilson bill, and Mr. Taylor rep, Penn.)
offered an amendment substituting the pro
visions of the Mckinley law for the proposed
iron ore schedule in the Wilson bill.
Mr. benson dem, Ala.) said he had been
taught that the Democratic party was a
tariff party, and he had learned that under
Andrew Jackson 'sfree trade is licentious-
ness" he said, ''protection is despotism, and
both are UNJUST He was not projections
ist and not free trader, but he was an
Andrew jackson Democrat. daughter and

In reply to question he said he was pro-
tectionist to an extent which would give
equality for A merican labor aud American
industry Republican applause).
In reply to the question as to what kind OF
protection he wanted in particular he said
he wanted protection on iron ore. ''Give us
protection, he said, land leave the conse-
ounces to God and the American" [Republi-
can applause.l
He held that iron ore was not a raw mate
rial, for the reason that there was large
expenditure of capital in machinery for rails,
ing ore and for similar purposes. He was
followed by Mr.. Tawney rep, Minn.)
