Already census statisticians are spec
ulating on the new center Of population
OF the United States to he revealed by
the coming census. The steady west
ward course OF this invisible point for
the last half century makes it practic-
able to determine within reasonable
exactness its location next year. In
1850 IL was in West Virginia, south OF
Parkersburg Thence il crossed into
Ohio at the next census and traversed
that state by slow stages until In
1880 1t had reached Cincinnati In
1890 1t crossed into Indiana, still close
ly following the thirty-ninth parallel,
and reached a point few miles south
OF Greensburg. Its rate OF progress
westward. has been at about the aver
age rate of FIVE miles per year, having
travelled 800 miles since the taking OF
the first census. At this rate of prog
ress during the coming century il will
cross into Illinois. Some claim, how
ever, that this Western march Of popu-
lation will be checked soon and that
possibly the next census will marx
nearly, II not quite, its extreme West
eTn advance. Considering the growth
of Western States and Territories.
however, this does not seem probable.
1t is more likely that'the limit will be
reached somewhere,in Illinois the com
ing century. Within a few decades
Chicago will be the nearest the center
of population OF the United States OF

star of empire will shine in the zenith
OF the inland metropolis of the coun-

1--WE Million visitors.

New York, Sept. 29.-Beginning today
there will be a real crush in the New
York hotels. Practically all of them were
filled To their utmost capacity several
nights ago, but thousands Of persons who
engaged quarters weeks and months ago
will arrive in the city TO claim them.
Other thousands were accommodated last
night with the understanding they should
seek other quarters today.
Governors, captains Of vessels in Dew
eys fleet, members OF tine cabinet and Off
GERS high IN the navy will arrive in the
city. Quarters for all of the city's guests
have been provided, but all others who
come to seek rooms in the hotels will be
turned away.
Many of the leading hotels, while turnF-
ing away strangers, have been reseTys
ing considerable number Of rooms for
their regular patrons in case any should
appear at the eleventh hour to seek ac-
connodations. Before nightfall, however,
everything worth having will be taken,
and visitors must turn to the boarding
houses.
Estimates of the number of visitors al
ready mere range from OOO,OuO TO l,OOU,-
600. Most of the railroads agree that I'M

The story that comes from the Klon-
dixie Is not so rose-colored as were the
stories told about this Ei Dorado when
the boom was on. The gold product of
the last year is reported TO have been
only $40, 00o. 900, or one half the amount
estimated, and sickness and destitu-
ton are thinning out the Adventures.
The gamblers are apparently the only
successful gold seekers in the region.

Ma indicate that more gold will be
found there than will ever come out
Of the Kiondike may, however. only
mean that the transportation COM

Ing to work up boom for themselves

Cunninghame Graham, himself a
saucy Scot, thus gives the genesis OF
the modern Englishman: Saxon sto-
ndity, Celtic guile, Teutonic dullness
and Norman pride, all tempered with
east wind, baptized with mist, narrow
ed by insularity; swollen with good
fortune, and rendered overbearing by
wealth, have worked together to pro-
duce the type" Not by any means a
good-nstured sketch, or strictly
truthful one, but IL moral and mental
heredity is insisted upon, the multiplex
origin of English character must ac-
count for what is strong and good In IL
rs well as for what is weak and bad.
As for English-Amerlca, the daughter
nation, 1t has become the great ANAL
gsmator OF the world, absorbing almost
every strain OF Gentle blood. Yankee
character is British plus two hundred

The servant girl has new champion
In no less person that Professor Cum.
mings of Harvard University, whose
paper on the subject Is the outcome OF
much research and thought. The ser
gant girl question is an old one; WON
en- have tried to solve 1t, but in an I'M
systematic way, which has resulted
only in spasmodic reforms. Professor
Cummings suggestion is to place do
nestle service in the line OF trade,
governed by union, which shall reg
ulate hours and scale OF wages, and by
which the rights of employers and en-
ployes shall be defined and protected.
1t is more and more becoming a recog-
nized fact that no advance can be made
In domestic service until the assumed
degradation which at present attends
II is removed. Should servants not re-
side in the house, but come daily to the
duties which begin and finish at regu-
lar honrs, It would give the sense OF
freedom and independence now lack
ing and convert the alleged tyrannized
servant into self-respecting employee,
with better defined social status.
Perhaps the time has come for men to
take up the solution OF problem
which women have failed to find, and
IL more college men will give their
time to II, as has Professor Cummings
we may look for happy ending to 8
