the Census Work.
His Clerical Force Accompanies Him.
The superintendent Expects to BE
Absent Four MOnths-The Enumer-
alton to Begin as Soon as Prac-

Harrison Dingman, the superintendent
of the census of Porto Rico, left Wash
ington for New York at o'clock this
afternoon. Accompanying him from this
city was clerical staff, composed of Theo-
dore Friebus, jr.; William M. Hardcastle,
Claude F. King, and j. Emerson Rose, all
of this city. The party will sail from New
York next Friday on the Red D line steam
er Caracas, bound for Venezuela by way
of Porto Rico. The passage to census
headquarters, San Juan, will take five
days. A transport bearing supplies, con-
sisting of blanks and other stationery for
the census work left New York last Thurs
day, and several tons more will leave
tomorrow.
Taking leave of his friends this morn
ing, Mr.. Dingman said he expected the
work of the Porto Rican census would oc-
cupy four months, and 1t could hardly be
expected that he would be able to return
to Washington before the middle of Feb
ruary. The organization of the assist
ants to take the census of Porto Rico would
commence, he said. as soon as practicable

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The stock market
this morning opened very active and at
advances which extended from 1-2 to
points. Interest was exceedingly we'll di-
yersifed throughout the market, practically
all quarters receiving fair amount OF at
tention. The chief factor in the pronounced
strength that was evident appeared to be
the less warlike situation in South Africa,
and the same circumstances were attended
by a recovery in the London market in
which American stocks are a prominent
part. The general expectations that easier
monetary conditions would prevail today
further stimulated purchases of stocks for
both accounts, and technically considered
the market showed the same asence of pres
sure of actual liquidation that has charac-
terized it for some time.
Conspicuous features in respect OF
strength at the opening of business were
Reading first, preferred; Tennessee Coal
and Iron, and Pullman Palace Car.
The advances in the standard issues " ere
generally limited to fractions, but there
were no important exceptions to the mar
ket's general tendency.
After the opening some pressure deyel-
oped in Brooklyn Rapid Transit and in
Sugar Refining, but the resultant recess
sions were comparatively small. The
Brooklyn Rapid Transit statement for
September and for the fiscal year to date
was published today, and was accounted
very disappointing, as it showed very little
increase over last years figures. On the
other hand, excellent traffic returns were
reported by the 81. Paul, the Wabash, and
riods. Apart from the seemingly better
condition of affairs in South Africa there
was nothing new over night engaging at
tenIion.

RICHMOND. Va, Oct 4.-The forthcom-
ing report of the Auditor of Public Ac-
counts Marye will show some very inter-
esting figures connected with Virginia's f.
nances. Not only has the State purchased
$229, 600 of her bonds for retirement but
the manner in which she was enabled to
accomplish this is of interest. For the fs-
cal year just ended the sum paid into the
treasury on account of delinquent lands
amounted to s160,000, as against So, 900 in
1896. The saving in criminal expenses this
year will be about $4,000. The saving in
this respect, as the result of the legislation
of two sessions of the General Assembly is
sI30, 900.

twisted round the wrong way. The conse-
auence was he invariably had to walk in the
opposite direction to which he wanted to
walk. This terrible fate haunts him right
through the story, causing him to lose
friends, money, and everything else which
man holds dear. and ends up by his, in his
own mind, numbering the girl who was to
save him from himself. According to the
story, the heroine was standing on the edge
of great precipice. The hero is standing
near. Suddenly the heroine becomes giddy
and totters on the brink. The hero tries
to dash forward and save her, but, of
course, runs the other way. Here comes
break in the narrative, which Is finished by
the following sentence: "And the gates of
an asylum for those mentally deranged shut
the writer off from his friends in the outer
world"
Apart from such tragedies as the above
the whole of these journals are saturated
with humor. In one we find the following
among Questions We Want Answered."
When does the Queen of Sheba intend
to recognize the royal rank of the Prince
of Wales?' Did Marie Corelh' really
tweak the doctors nose? Why did 'Ranji'
throw the ball at w. G.'s' head during
practice at the nets?" Perhaps it should
be explained that the celebrities referred
lie, but other persons who claim their per-
sonalities and are detained in the aSylums
for that very reason.
A writer in '.The Fort England Mirror"
gives the following reason for his deten-
tion: II met young widow with a grown
stepdaughter, and the widow married me.
Then my father, who was widower, met
my stepdaughter and married her. That
made my wife the mother-in-law of her
ther-in-law, and made my stepdaughter
my mother and my father my stepson.
Then my stepmother, the stepdaughter of
my wife, had a son. That boy was, of
course, my brother, because he was my
fathers son. He was also the son of my
wife's stepdaughter, and therefore her
grandson That made me grandfather to
my stepbrother. Then my wife had a

These magazines touch the journalistic

hit the popular taste. We find that those

richly dressed young woman deliberately step

the crossing. The motorman thought she was be-

track, but instead of complying TO his request
she looked up at him and smiled. Then the
strange young woman started down Chestnut

man crept along behind. yelling and stamping
at his bell and looking vainly for a policeman
At Juniper Street she stepped deliberately to the
