THE CENSUS OF SEX.
And What 1t Shows About the PERCENTAGES
of Marriage and Divorce.

Out of every 100 adults in the United
States in 1890 there were rs single, 60 mar
rled, and widowed. There were 81 single.
"a married, and 5 widowed out OF every 100
males. as compared with 90 single, 81 mar
ried, and Ii widowed out of every 100
females.
The United States still shows the smallest
proportion of single and the largest proper
ton OF married adults, while the reverse is
true IN Ireland and Scotland
The excess of males over females in The
country at large is 1,513,5I0. The excess of
single males, however, is nearly twice as
great, or 276l ,5SS
In Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont
there are, practically, Sd single, az married,
aud widowed males, and 49 single, AZ mar
ried, and widowed females. These three
States have the smallest proportions of sim
gle and the largest proportions of married in
the whole country, while the proportion of
widowed is fully as large as in any part of
the Union.
In few States the number of the divorced
in each 100 is appreciable, there being one
divorced male in New Hampshire and one
divorced female in New Hampshire, Connec-
ticut, Florida, Utah, and Nevada.
There is an excess of single males in every
State and Territory except the District of
Columbia, while, on the other hand, the wild
owed females are uniformly in excess in
every State and Territory of the Union.

KILLED AN ITALIAN.

French stevedores at Toulon Angered by
an Insulting Remark.
ToULoN. June 26.-Here, as else
where in France, the smouldering in
dignation against Italians requires but
breath to fan it into flame. The Brit
ish steamer Richardson was being dis
charged by number of French and
Italian stevedores. One of the latter
joined in a conversation regarding the
assassination and took occasion to
speak insultingly of the dead president.
The words had scarcely left his lips
when several of the Frenchmen fell
upon him. One of the latter struck the
Italian a fearful blow on the head with
bar of iron, badly fracturing his
skull. The Italian was taken to. the
hospital where the physicians said he
could live only a short time. 1t is
feared that conflicts will occur between
the French and Italians.
