PLANS FOR THE NEW CENSUS B-nEAu.

peratiYe that the Director secure build
ing not only sufficiently large to aceomnlo-
Gate the great force of clerks requisite ID
carry on so important an undertaking, but
also Cne especially adapted for the econo-
Inical performance of the work. After
considerable discussion with various capt.
talists and real estate men in the city, an
arrangement was reached with NJ. G.
Emery whereby he agreed to construct
building for the use OF the Census Bureau
in accordance with plans approved by Di-
rector Merriam. The officers in control of
The Bureau agreed TO rent the building for
2 term of five years from the date of its
completion.
The proposed building will be very
large, covering two acres of ground and
containing in all something over 100000
square feet The site is al the corner of
First and Streets northwest. The ad-
ministratiye portion of the building, which
is to be two stories high, provides offices
for the Director and ali his associates. in
Guiding the chief clerk, disbursing clerk.
and appointment clerk, and quarters for
the five chief statisticians and their Office
force. The main building, which is to be
a single story, will cover about $1,000
square feet. and will provide sufficient room
for the clerks who will count the enumera-
ticl returns and all other statistics con-
nected with the four great schedules re-
ferred TO. which are to be completed within
the time required by law.
The work in proper will require force
of clerks numbering from 1900 to $500, in
cluding messengers, watchmen, etc. The
large amount Of printing required in the
census work has made it necessary TO de-
vote considerable space in the new build
ing for this purpose.
The building will be of brick, substan-
TALLY but plainly constructed. All the
latest modern Improvements in the way of
heating and ventilation will be provided
for. 1t is expected that the building viii
be ready for occupancy soon after the 1st
OF January, 1900.

They are now making an investigation,
but for the present refuse to talk about the

The things that i gave the police were
the property of Eugene Noroff, who was
found dead in Central Park on July g. He
told me that he bad at one time been a
judge in Russia, and that he was at work
on something that would soon startle the
world. He had a big trunk, a bigger tox,
and some books and papers when he moved
into the house. He did not appear to have
much money. said Mrs. Jackson. She
further stated that when she came to open
the trunk after Noroff's death she found
six bombs and the plans of the Madison
Avenue Hotel. The plans showed the ar
rangement of the rooms On each floor and
many OF the rooms were marked with nlys-
terious-looking signs. One room was en-
closed in an especially black circle II

Found n jug of MeIIowed Jox

Middleton. n. Y, July 29.-When Wick
ham Miller, honest builder and kindly man,
erected the National Union Bank building
at Monticello forty four years age he care
fully set in the wall a one-gallon Jug of
Orange county applejack. 1t was well and
truly made but smacked perhaps a triie
too much of the worm and the fire. It
needed ripening. Contractor Andy MeCul-
Tough, engaged in altering the building,
found that jug yesterday. He drew the
corncob stopper with reverent care. In an
instant the musty old room was full of the
aroma of thousand apple trees in bloom.
A delicious. almost oppressive ianguor
whelmed Andy and his men in a reverie
of delight. Andy took a sip. Mccullough
gave the jug of noble, golden fluid TO
George w. Rockwell, proprietor Of the Ho-
tel Rockwell. George locked it in his safe.
Some day when all his friends have been
very good George will give each of them
a drop of the beautiful amber cordial.

country the Census Bureau is to have a
home of its own. 1t has been impossible
heretofore to obtain q building sufficiently

sular jurisdiction.

in Japan. has written several articles to
Japanese newspapers addressed to Ameri-

and the Emperor will give special Iecep-
tion to foreign diplomats and decorate
