sary TO have the light at such al
elevation as is provided, then III
teen feet of substructure would
have been saved by erecting the
tower at the lookout siation--the
ground there being iust so much
higher, according to member Of
the Government Survey. An ele.
walton of more than 100 feet for
the lantern, which is really quite
enough, would be attained by
going as high as the ridge OF the
lockout house. The comparative
ly weak light at BARRIERS Point is
visible with the naked eye from
the lookout station. That is
twenty miles away, and navigators
do not want a more remote guide.
Long before they need light
house to make Honolulu, they see
tue reflection of the city's electric
light system in the sky. A fifteen
{ ,ot stone tower at the site of the
lookout station, having living
rooms for the keeper in its base,
would have been right for all the
purposes desired, besides having
the quality of endurance for cen.
turtles.

Apart from the question of con-

is reasonable as to the matter OF
location. The light is not Homo

To Exclude the Insane.

Washington, May 17.-Representativ
Danford of Illinois, chairman Of the
house committee on immigration, has in
troduced bill to amend the immigra-
ton laws. 1t adds to the excluded
classes Of aliens all persons who have
been confined to an insane asylum, OF
who have been insane before landing
here, or who, shall within two years af-
ter arrival become insane, unless the in
sanity is due to causes arising subse-
quent to arrival.
The section to facilitate enforcement Of
the immigration and contract labor
acts Is amended by adding required
statements as to each immigrant
whether ever insane or confined in an
asylum for the insane" Aliens falling
under this prohibition, whose return to
the country migrated from is provided
for, shall on proper demand be trans
ported back to that country by owners
Of any vessels doing business between
any port of the United States and any
foreign port in the line of travel to that
country, companies or owners violating
these provisions to pay a fine Of not ex-
ceeding $500, the fine also to be lien on

NEXT CENSUS.
Radical Departure From Others In the
Scope of Inquiries.

Radical Departure From Others In the
Scope of Inquiries.
Washington. May 16.-If new bill
which the senate committee on the CEN
sus has reported as substitute for the
one that has been on the calendar for
some time Is passed. the 18th census will
be radical departure from the 10th and
the 18th in the scope Of it's inquiries and
the bulk of the resulting publications.
The bill provides that the census shall
be restricted to inquiries relating to
population, mortality, and products of
agriculture and mechanical and manu-
featuring establishments. The enumer-
ators will have at most but four sched-
ules to master and carry in their rounds,
against 10 at the 18th census. In cities
with an acceptable system Of registra-
ton of mortality statistics and with the
manufacturing schedules in the hands
of special agents, there will be but two
schedules. Regarding the publications
in connection with the census it is pro-
vided that there shall be only the vol
umes relating to the four subjects of in
uuiry name. These volumes. it is be-
lieved, will be of only moderate size,
four in number, and 1t is expected that
they can be available for general use in
1902. Past experience shows that the
census reports can be published thus
early
Realizing the existence Of demand
for statistical information on a great
variety of topics more or less intimately
related to. but not necessarily and in
separately connected with, the taking of
the decennial census, the bill provides
that after the census proper has been
completed the director Is authorized to
collect statistics relating to special
classes, including the insane, feeble
minded, deaf DUMP and blind; crime,
pauperism and benevolence; births and
deaths in registration areas; social sta.
tistics of cities; public Indebtedness
valuation, taxation and expenditures;
religious bodies; electric light and power
telegraph and telephone business ant
street railways. The statistics thus col
lected need not necessarily relate to the
year 1900, but may be brought up to date
giving the reports greatly increased
value.

A Business Judge.

The Kansas City Journal tells two or
three good stories of we'll known and
highly respected judge, regarded as one
of the ablest in Missouri. He believes
in convicting the guilty and does not
waste much time in vexatious delays
Some time ago he was called to st.
Louis to try case. After hearing evil
dence all day he adjourned the court
until O'Clock the next morning.
Eight O'Clock, your honorl" said
one of the st. Louis attorneys "Why,
in the city our judges never begin to
hold court until 10 o'clock"
"Well," said the judge, "if you
must have country judges, you must
bear with country ways. Court will
meet at 8 o'clock while I am on the
bench" And court did.
On another occasion he granted a
change Of venue from st. Louis to
Cooper county. The defendants coun-
sci, an ex-governor, had looked up the
regular terms Of court in the Cooper
county circuit and found that there was
no regular term for some months. AS
he was anxious for delay the lawyer
was much surprised when after grant
ing the change Of venue the judge said,
81 will set this case for a week from
next Monday"
"But, your honor, there is no term Of
court in Boonville for several months. :"
"You are mistaken, governor, said
the judge. II live in Boonville and
hold court at any time. Moreover, the
constitution guarantees speedy trial,
and am sworn to support the constitu
tion."
But speedy trial was just what thu
governor did not want for his client
and so he continued:
II can't be in Boonville during tina
month. That will be my regular vaca
tion."
"You hear what your lawyer says,
remarked the judge to the prisoner
"Your trial will begin at the tim
stated, and if the governor cannot b
present you would better arrange t
have some one else to represent you"
The trial came off as stated, and tn
LAWYER was ON hand.

BOSTON MARKET.

Boston, May 16.-The butter market
Is quiet, and the feeling is easy. 1t Is
drawing near tho season of the heaviest
receipts of the year, also the best butter
there is made, and naturally there are
good many buyers, and they are some
what bearish as to prices: Best cream
cry, small lots and pkgs, 1SAQ1S1ac;
northern creamery, round lots, 1910
17hc; western, 16@17c; eastern, 16@17c;
frsts, 14@15c; limitations, 14@15hc;
northern dairy, 15Q16c.
Jobbers yielded little with the mar
ket, and were serving their customers
at IS to 20 cents, including tubs and
boxes, and on this basis had fair trade.
The receipts of butter at Boston for the
past week were 20,35S tubs and 22,014
boxes, total weight of s24,s25 pounds,
against 1884, 72 pounds the corresponding
week last year. This shows some in
crease as compared with the week pre-
vious, but is less than last year.
The storage statement for this week
is as follows: Put in, 223 tubs; taken
out, Sc tubs; stock. 456 tubs, against 1864
tubs same time last year. 1t will be
seen that more tubs were put In than
were taken out, and the stock is little
larger than the week previous, but reg
ular storing has not yet begun.
Cheese continues steady in the home
market, with the stocks Of fine limited
and in few hands. No new cheese is yet
arriving, but it il expected soon: Round
lots, 10h@11hc; sage, 1o01oAc; job
bling, 101aQ11Ac; Liverpool, Ais for white;
colored, ass.
Eggs are very well sustained, with
eastern Arm: Western, 101aQ11c; Michi-
gan and Indiana, 11@12c; eastern, 11h@
13c; nearby and fancy, 12h016c: job
bling prices, 1@1hc more.
Beans are a shade easier. Buyers
seem to have taken their requirements
for the present, and to have left the
market alone: Carload lots, pea, $1.45@
1.5O; medium. $1.46@1.50; yellow eye, $1.55
01.60; red kidneys, S2.S50245; California
small white, $1.7o@175; California Lima,
4AQ4Hc per lb. Jobbing lots are 1Oc
more.
The receipts of apples are small, with
the season rapidly drawing to a close
| Baldwins are about done for the season,
| the supply now consisting mainly Of
Ben Davis, russets and spies. OF spies
the quantity is unusually full for the
season.
Potatoes are flrmer, with something
above 81 asked for all classes of really
good stock: Green mountains, extra,
| $1.05@110; fair. 95c@$1; white star or
Burbanks, 95c@$1; Aroostook hebrons,
93@95c; silver dollars, $1.O5; Dakota reds,

new southern products and prices vary
as to quality We quote average rates.

Bermuda onions $1S5 @1,s0 per crate;
asparagus, s2@350 per doz; Florida to-
