MONTPELIER, OCT. 24th, 1871.
The Weekly Waterman, a newspaper
published at Montpelier, issues during
the session, daily, claiming superiority
over any and all competitors in amount
and correctness of legislative news. Each
day it devotes small space to "Legis-
lative Notes" In its issue of Monday,
October 18th, under above notes it
says (you doubtless have copy and / will
not repeat here.) In justice to Speaker
Stickney, the BANNER and your scribe,

Are You In Il?

MIR. Chas. b. Spahr of Columbia University. has
recently examined the records Of the Surrogates
of thirtv-hve counties in the state of New York,
covering the last three months of 1898 and includ
ing the counties of New York and Kings, the
richest in the State. The resul $ are remarka-
BILE as showing how few peopla leave any estate
at all and the low average values of the estate
left.
Out of 10 600 persons over twenty FIVE years of
age dying during the quarter, only
1856 left estates equal to or exceeding S5l9O
9l66 averaging 1909
6649 " valued at OOOO
Think cfitl Less than per cent were worth
$1,000. end less than % per cent were worth 1892
when they died. The conclusion is that whether
Oils out Of every 1OOOO leaves an estate of $1,000
or not depends upon whether they have life in
surance for that amount or not

This morning Magistrate Gibb had a
bad eye on criminals lie was far from

frequenter OF Fannie French's place. aud
under a plea Of not guilty Chief jackson
Ind Nightwatchman johnson were called
for the city. The prisoner then made
statement to the effect that he was hired
by Fannie French to attend TO her
horses. and further that she had liz
cense to conduct a boarding house.
The court held that while such might
be the facts in the case. they did not
constitute a proper defense under the
city ordinance which specially prohibits
any "lewd male person from frequent

Kennedy was fined SO and costs. total

The Worlds Population.

According 10 the latest estimate OK
made by the geographical establishment
Of Gotha, Germany. the present popula-
tion OF the world is about fourteen hun
dred and eighty millions. This may be
apportioned as follows, the numbers be-
ing understood as referring to millions:
Europe, three hundred and fifty-seven;
Asia, eight hundred and twenty six; At
rica. one hundred and sixty four; Amer
lea. one hundred and twenty two; Aus
tralia. three; Oceanic islands. seven.
Belgium is still the most densely popu-
lated country of Europe. having five
hundred and thirty to the square mile.
Still taking Europe as a whole the ratio
is less than one hundred to the mile. In
the United States, Massachusetts has
two hundred and twenty-five to the
square mile, while the general average is
only seventeen. 1t is evident that there
is still considerable unoccupied land in
the country, whatever Henry George
may say when he looks into cities. and
the greatest benefactor is the agency
which can bring the landless to the
land. And that is what the Burlington
has been doing for years with its lines
reaching out over ten fertile western
states, and still there are millions ol
