The Marriage of Two Continents.
From Golfers Weekly.


A few weeks ago they drove a golden
spiSe on the White Pass and Yukon route
at Bennett City, British Columbia. They
thought they were celebrating the compile
ton of a short but rather important line
of railway They we're making a big step
toward the marriage of two continents.
Now We're more or less Asiatic ourselves.
At any rate, Asia Is next door 10 our east
ern possessions. Why should we go
around the world In ships when we might
take a parlor car i'm New York to the
Western coast, and then to Alaska, know
ing that we should find transport waiting
for our train? That transport deposits us
on the East Cape, where, by means of a
branch road we connect with the great
Siberian Railway which at this moment is
crawling slowly across the continent. A
ma, where another transport bears US to
the Philippines There is no reason why
we should make the whole journey with
out leaving the train. But this is not all
Some of us may prefer to go from Siberia
straight to Paris or to South Africa, SO we
follow the Siberian route to the Suez canal
and turn either north or south If we
choose the southern route we soon find
ourselves In Cairo, and thence We speed
on to Cape Town, blessing In our hearts

other much-abused Englishmen II sounds
like romance, and II is romance. 1t is also
ore of the incidents of the twentieth CEN
tury, which is going to be the most ro-
mantle of all the centuries, more romantic
even than our own, which, in spite of the
croakers, holds the record. Doesn't it
make you sorry that you couldn't wait 10

MADE A room sNueGLER.
A Savannah Man Who Tried the
Game TO His Cost,

A young savannahian, who visited Ha-
vana some time ago, has been entertaining
some of his friends with an account of a
sad but memorable experience of his visit
The Savannahian is not smoker himself
but he has friends who smoke and he
knows good cigars when he sees them.
There was one friend in particular who
wanted a large quantity of that noblest
product of the realm of nicotine, the Hen
ny Clay cigar and who was willing to pay
literally for shet accom- mediation.
The Savannah man had no trouble in
getting hissstock of cigars aboard the OH
Vette, ana secreting them in a secure pace
He knew one of the inspectors at Tampa
and had reason to believe that his little
stock of conuaband would be passed with
out any too close inspection. Unfortunate
ly for him, however, another inspector was
on duty that day and he appeared to be
of a particularly inquisitive turn of mind.
1t did not take him long to locate the
stock OF Henry Clays, and he was soon
Juggling them down the gang plank. Ev
erybody on board smiled because they
knew somebody had been caught at the
old game of trying to beat Uncle Sam.

One of the customs regulations fixes a
penalty of 5000 on every ship bringing in
consignments of struggled goods, but it is
said that the fine is always re
mitted, where there is no evidence to fix
the responsibility upon the ships compa-
ny. The sailors on ships between Havana
and American ports, are said to carry on
smuggling constantly. but OH such small
scale that it is hardly worth the while
of the inspectors to keep up with them.
The Spanish or Cuban sailor who can
smuggle- a. jug of gin or aguardiente into
the states, on which he makes a profit of
so cents, is quite well satisfied with his
venture. The trouble with the Savannah
man seems to have, been that he begun on

WANTS MORTALITY FIGURES.
Census Bureau Desires Complete In
formation for 1900.

One of the features of the twelfth CEN
sus, which is to be taken next year, win
be the gathering of mortality statistics.
The act providing for the census includes
a provision for the gathering of such sta
tistics and states The points upon which
information is to be sought.
Acting under this authority the director
of the census desires to obtain as nearly
as possible a complete return of al deaths
occurring during the year 1900 with such
information concerning the decedents as
is considered desirable. A complete NOR
tality return for the United States has
never yet been obtained, owing 10 the fact
that many states have no requirement for
the registration Of births and deaths and
that those states and cities which do keep
official records of such occurrences vary
so greatly in the systems used that II is
almost Impossible to combine the informa-
ton in ineligible form.
The calendar year 1900 has been selected
for the purpose, rather than the census
year, which includes the twelve months
ending June /, il being the opinion of the
census officials that d more satisfactory
record is likely to be obtained by follow
ing the calendar year. With this pur-
pose in view the chief statistician of the
census bureau, Mr.. William A. King, is
now endeavoring to have uniform NOR
tanty return adopted by states, counties
and municipalities and also by physicians
in making their returns of deaths.
The information desired by the bureau is
more general than that usually. covered by
the official death return and 1t Is partc-
ularly desired that this information may be
obtained for scientific as well as statistical
purposes. 1t is not only desired to obtain
the name age and sex of the decedent and
the cause of death, but the race, national
ity, place of birth of parents. coniugal
condition, whether married, single, widow
ed or divorced, the occupation and place of
residence. 1t is desired that the mortal
ity statistics shall show not only the dis
eases which cause Inc greatest number of
deaths, and the ratio of death at differ mt
ages, but the class and condition OF the
people who die in and their occupations
in order that comparisons may be
made The results will also show In what
states and sections of the country the
death rate is greatest
In Georgia no mortality statistics are
kept outside of the cities and the statistics
of Savannah, for instance. although ex-
cellently kept. will not give all the infor-
nation desired. II is the intention OF the
bureau to secure as far as possible the
adoption OF its uniform death return in or
der that the desired information as TO NOR
tally for the year 1900 may be as complete
as possible.
