JERSEYS INHABITANTS.

Jersey men and Jersey women don't
emigrate. Jersey men and Jersey wom-
en- don't turn their backs on the farm or
the homestead to found colonies in the
south or southwest, as do the people of
New York, New England and Pennsyl-
.yania. They are glad to be able to re.
main in Jersey, and under these cir.
cumstances it is perhaps just little
peculiar that there should be 10000
more native-born women than men in
New Jersey. s.'''e1'
The male birth rate is higher than
the female birth rate in New Jersey,
as in other states and in most coun tries.
In the state last year there were. born
1882 females to each 1000 males, but in
most states Of the union, or at least in
settled statessyof the union, this dis
parity is set off by two causes-the
higher male death rate and the loss Of
population through emigration. A
larger proportion of men than women
emigrate, and in old established. states,
especially in the eastern portion Of the
country, and particularly in the New
England states, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island and Connecticut, the preponder-
ance of female inhabitants is consider
able. The average number of births in
year in New Jersey exceeds the ay-
erage number of deaths by 10000, or
10 per cent; but though the number
of births Of males is larger, and has
been for many years, than the number
of births of females, and although there
Is practically little emigration from
New Jersey, the fact remains that there
are 10000 more female than male inhab-
tants in that state, native-born. e''''7@@'@.'
The preponderance of women is not
general. In Gloucester county, for in
stance, Awhichssis inaSouth Jersey and
tributary to Philadelphia, there were,
by the last state census, 600 more men
than women. In Ocean county, the
home of fishermen, there were by the
last census 9,112 male and s,679 female
inhabitants, a considerable disparity
In favor of the former. In4Atlantic
county, in Cape May county, in Cum
berland county, in Salem and in Sus-
tex the male outnumber the female in
habitants. On the other hand, in the
thercounties of New Jersey the ma
Gve-born female inhabitants prepon-
derate. The reason is plain. New Jer-
sey has enormous manufacturing in
terests, nd-perhaps the best developed
Of them is the emanufacture of silk. A
very considerable number of those en-
gagged in silk manufacture are women
and girls. nPassaic county, which in
cludes the city of Paterson, there are
1900 more native female than male in
habitants. In Morris county there are
200 more native female than male in
Labitants. In Union county, which in
cludes the city Of Elizabeth, there are
e:2O0 more native-born women than ma
tive-born men, and in Essex county,
which includes the city of Newark, with,
its vast and varied manufactures, there
ere 7,179 more native female than ma
tive male inhabitants. In addition to
this disparity there are in all Jersey
10000 more Irish-b women than
Irish-born men, but the residents Of
other nationalities include larger
male than female population NJ Y.

STRIKE AT BOHN's.
Some of the Men Returned to Work
Yesterday.

The machinery in the sash and door
ing company was started yesterday
morning for the first time since last
Thursday, when the IT'S men employed
in these departments walked out with
a demand for a restoration of a 20 per
cent cut in their wages. The members
of the company reported yesterday
that all the foremen and heads of de-
partments had returned to work, and
about one-third of the wOrkmen had
resumed their places. They said that
they had enough men to man the ma
chinery and think that the trouble Is
at an end, as the, men are slowly sig
nifying their intention of returning to
work.
The men report an entirely different
state Of affairs. They say that, so far
as the foremen and heads Of depart
ments are concerned, they did not go
out with the men in the first place
Of the workmen,. they say that less
than a dozen have resumed their
places. Some new men have been en-
ployed. Many of sthe men have given
up hope of a restoration of the cut in
wages, but still will not return to
work. Most of them are looking else
where for places.1e y
The strikers will hold a meeting at 8
o'clock tomorrow might at Garfield hall
on Arcade street, and another attempt
will be made to effect a settlement of
some kind with the company. No
definite plans have been settled upon
should the effort prove unsuccessful,
but discussion in that direction will be
called for at the meeting.

F. s. Burton and wife, Of Burton,
Great Northern. The train which
brought them through was one Of the
first to keep about on schedule time
since the flood commenced. Mr.. Bur-
ton says that all he saw for two days
was a sea Of water on both sides Of
the track. Except for the motion Of
the train, it seemed like an ocean Voy-
age.
Mr.. Burton is not a stranger to ST.
Paul. He was here in 1894 to promote
a pet plan of his own which has since
borne fruit, and which promises in the
future to bring a rich harvest. Sixteen
years ago Mr.. Burton camped out
where the city of Great Falls now
stands. There was nothing there at
that time but wilderness. Roaring at
his feet was the great cascade which
Mr.. Burton knew would in time turn
the wheels of commerce He went on
an exploring trip and penetrated fifty
miles northwest Of the present city Of
Great Falls to a point on the Teton
river. Mr.. Burton Immediately recog-
nized the soil and the climate as being
excellent for the pursuits Of agr1cul-
ture and stock raising, and with no lit
tie haste he secured possession Of a
tiny farm containing about $4,000 acres,
sufficient land to make a goodly coun-
ty. The Teton river ran near the tract,
and Mr.. Burton saw visions of a gar
den Of Eden, provided he could irri-
gate the land. He was confident that
if he could secure number of people
to settle on the lands he would make
the wilderness blossom as the rose.
Mr.. Burton accordingly came to Mime
sofa, Dakota and Iowa, where he work
ed for several months, finally rounding
up 100 people who formed colony and
went out to settle on Mr.. Burton's
land. They formed a town and named
it after the owner Of the land. Mr..
Burton tapped the Teton river, dug,

through which to carry the waters Of
the Teton, and today he has 10000 acres
out Of the $4,000 under cultivation. Mr..
Burton is on his way to the White
river valley, Indiana, where he Will
secure another colony of men to go
out to his great farm. He has pledged
to stake out 100 farms of 100 acres each.

EBB OF THE FLOOD.
GOVERNMENT GAUGE RECORDS A
FALL OF NEARLY HALF A FOOT
YESTERDAY.
WORST BELIEVED TO BE OVER.
VICTIMS OF THE HIGH WAITER
FIGURING WHEN THEY CAN RE-
TURN.
WILL BE SEVERAL WEEKS YET
Before Residents of the Flats Can
Occupy Their Former
Homes.

The river continued to fall slowly
all day yesterday. At o'clock last
night the government gauge registered
but 1855 feet, a fall since the water
began to recede Of 4 Of a foot. This
would not seem to amount to much
when measured in tenths of a foot but
in gallons it is almost incOnceivable.
There is little doubt now but what the
end of the flood is not very far off, for
even if there is a large amount of water
still in the north it is hardly probable
that there is enough to again bring the
river to the eighteen-foot mark. It is
the general opinion that there will be no
more sudden rises unless the country
should be visited with heavy and con-
tinuous rain storms, and, while this is
possible, it is not probable at this time
of the year. The snow on the exposed
ground along the upper Mississippi is
almost all gone and that which is
sheltered by the trees will melt SO
gradually that no serious results are
looked for from that direction.
The excitement occasioned by the
flood has relaxed to a great extent
and the thousands Of sight-seers who
have lined the bridges and other points
of vantage from which they could view
the broad expanse of water during
the past few days, have almost en-
tirely disappeared.
The real victims of the flood hail the
fall of the water with delight and many
OF them are already making prepara-
lions to move back to their homes
at the earliest possible moment, but
1t will undoubtedly be several weeks
before the majority will be able to
again inhabit their water-soaked
homes, for even after the water sub
sides, it will be long time before the
houses will be fit to live in.
The flow of logs down the river be-
gan again yesterday, but no further
danger is looked for from this source,
for all the points where they could do
any material damage have been pro-
tected with booms.
The boom built around the Minnesota
Boat club house and the weak pier OF
the Wabasha bridge will be left in
place until the water has entirely sub
sided. Many people feel that but for
the protection of this boom serious
damage would have resulted to the
bridge, and the club house would now
be on journey down the river A
force Of men were busy yesterday
strengthening the trestle of the Mil
waukee along the river front, but the
work was made necessary as a result
of the high water and was not done
with any idea that it,would serve as
future protection.
The commission men have opened
up headquarters at the Minnesota,
Transfer and will remain. there until
business can be resumed at South St.
Paul. 1t is thought that this will oc-
cur. N the near future, for none of
the sheds or buildings have been dam
aged to any extent, and the perfect
system of sewerage will carry off the
water as fast as the river goes down.

AT SOUTH ST. PAUL.
Condition of Things in and Around
the StOcISYards.

The water is steadily receding at
South st. Paul and the levee is out Of
danger. Attention is now turned to
repairing damages, getting perishable
property out of the water. stretching
bOOms around floating debris and
otherwise preparing for a resumption
of business.
There is a steady slope from the
yards to the bottom lands south, and
the water in the yards is steadily flow
ing out. The st. Paul Barrel company
have a couple of carloads of slaves left
on the stOckyardS grounds, where they
used to operate their plant before 1t
burned down three years ago, and some
of them have f1Oated around the yards.
A gang of men were piling them up
near the railroad track. Quantities Of
boards, doors from sheep barns, have
flOated down towards Inver Grove,
and residents along the river have
been busy night and day getting
supply Of wood, taking considerable
valuable property. Several parties
have cut UP a good many of the logs
that have floated down to shore near
Lincoln Park. below the stock yards.
The ice houses of the Minnesota and
Dakota Packing companies are APP
parently safe, and the two ice houses Of
e. Gordie, near the Dakota house, are
standing the strain quite well, but are
slowly giving away, the north end of
both beginning to bulge and some of
the ice going out. They stand in eight
feet of water, but should the river fall
steadily from now on it is thought
considerable ice will be saved Not g.
pound of ice remains in Staples Il
Kings houses.
The distiilery has a large fiat boat
built and are filling their orders by
floating barrels of whisky over to the
main tracks of the railroad. Their
warehouse is out of water.
In the hurry of removing the sheep
from the feeding barns the feed boxes
were left full of screenings and hay,
and there are probably thirty tons Of
hay damaged by water. The wool
clip of c. 1. Franklin from 1900 sheep
was piled on layer of hay bales and
the water has entered the two bottom
layers of bales, which will damage it
some.
Temporary quarters have been fixed
in the upper deck of a car for few
hogs that were in the yards, and they
are apparently in the best of health
Ferry lines make regular trips around
the yards, and are full of business,
carrying st. Paul excursion parties.
None of the buildings in the stock
yards, aside from the ice houses,
appeared to be injured or out of place
The water is now falling steadily with
the fall of the river. and it is expected
business will be resumed in a week or
ten days. Meanwhile temporary head
quarters have been established at the
Minnesota Transfer, and South st. Paul
live stock handled there by the COM
mission men. This is the first time
there has been water in the South ST.
Paul stocl1yards and President NJ. D.
Flower says it will be the last, as the
south end of the Ievee will be extended
around to the railroad tracks and shut
out the back water.

BOARD OF PARDeNs WILL HAVE
THIS QUESTION TO CONSIDER
NEXT.
TWO OF THEM IMPRISONED.
GUS BEAULIET AT THE COVER
NOR'S OFFICE SEEKING THEIR
RELEASE.
THEY VIOLATED FHE GAME LAWS,
But MIR. Beaulteu Claims That I'm
The1r Treaties They Were Coded
Their Hunting Rights.

Gus H. Beaulieu was at the office of
the governor yesterday afternoon for
the purpose Of taking steps for the re-
lease from custody of Albert Porter
and John Mccarthy, two Chippewa
half-breeds living on the Frontenac
reservation in Carlton county, who
were arrested March 81 at Carlton
charged with having venison in their
possession. Mr.. Beaulieu has been ad-
vised by James I. Coffey, a half breed,
that the men caught the venison at
Black Hoof and were arrested while
passing through Carlton and sentenced
to thirty days Imprisonment in default
Of bail. The board Of pardons will be
asked to act in the matter.
Mr.. Beaulieu maintains that under
the provisions of a treaty signed be-
tween the Chippewas and H M Rice,
acting for the government, the Indians
while ceding their lands to the United
States retained the right to hunt and
fish upon it, and are not to be pro-
ceeded against.
Mr.. Beaulieu explains that under the
treaty Of Dec. 2, 1895, the Chippewa
Indians were given the right to occupy
the country north of the Ohio river and
west of the great lakes. This right
includes the right sto fish and hunt.
Since that time treaties have been
signed in 1906, 1903, 1919, 1920, 1928, 1843
and 1856, in which the Indians ceded
their territory but reserved the fishing
and hunting rights. Under the 1856
treaty, signed Jan. 20, the Chippewa
nation divides it's interests, and there
was coded to the Chippewas of the Mis-
sissippi the country, west of Lake Su-
perior held under the 1895 treaty. The
1855 treaty was made and signed at La
Point, Wis, when H. M. Rice was In
dian commissioner for the government.
The Indians, as stated, still held the
right to fish and hunt in the original
territory. lf7ls.
April 7, of the same year. 1856, the
Mississippi Chippewas ceded their ter
ritOry to the United States, but mas
much as nothing Twas said about their
right to hunt and fish, they claim that
the treaty signed by the tribe in Jan
uary kept them the right mentioned.
Mr.. Beaulieu stOutly maintains that
the attorney general has held that In
dams cannot be proceeded against for
any alleged violation of the fish and
game laws, while the attorney general S
office as plainly asserts that the Ques-
ton will be acted upon when it is
brought up and that no opinion has
been given out. In fact Senator Nell
son is quoted as having introduced a
bill in congress some years ago which
ended the exemption of the Redskins
in this connection. tr.t

POLICE HAVE ORDERS
To vigorously Enforce the Present
Bicycle Ordinance.

The recent accidents and severe injuries
sustained by persons who have been run
down by bicycle "scorchers'' will undoubt-
eddy have the effect of a stringent clause be-
ing placed in the bicycle ordinance now before
the council The ordinance is now in the
hands Of the committee on streets Of the
board of aldermen and action has been post
poned in order that the wheelmen could make
certain amendments to the measure. An in
formal opinion expressed by the members
Of the board Tuesday night was to the eff
feet that action should be taken by the au-
thorities which would put a stop to the
reckless riding on the streets Of the city.
The depredations of the "scorcher' have
aroused the police department to the neces-
sity of preventing the reckless riding which
has already resulted in several accidents this
season, and Chief Goss last night issued the
following order:
Captains and lieutenants Of stations pursu-
ant to orders from the mayors office, will in
struct all officers under your command to
vigorously enforce bicycle ordinance No. 1868
and its amendments. Numerous complaints
have reached this office that the law govern
ing the running of bicycles on the streets
and sidewalks is being violated. Searching
must be strictly prohibited, as well as rid
ing on the sidewalks.

LET DOWN EASY.
Talked His Way Out of a Prison
Sentence

Thomas B. Wills was araigned in the
municipal court yesterday afternoon and
entered a plea of guilty to the charge Of con-
spiraey to defraud. This final disposition of
Rose, the latter recently sentenced to Still
water for ten years. were conducting was
the result Of an agreement whereby Wills
was to be charged with a misdemeanor in
stead OF felony, as he is not considered to
have been the prime mover in the swindling
as was Rose: He has already served eight
months in Jail and will very likely receive a
sentence OF ninety days in the workhouse.
Attorney Kane made plea to the court for
lenieney on account of Wills age and his
record as Union soldier and asked a con-
tlauance until today in order that certain
aff1davits in substantiation of his claims
could be presented. Judge Twohy granted the
request and sentence will be imposed this
afternoon at 2 O'clock
