The Times OF Thursday publishes careful analysis
of the German census taken on June H. 1879.
from which appears that the population amounted
ON that day to 5l77o,ooo, ofwhom 81, 10000 were
males aud 2d'"doooo females. the excess Of females
being. therefore, nearly million. This population
increases at the rate of little than million
year. for which new meaus of maintenance education
and housing must be provided. The rush is, of
course. to the towns. the general urban population
having increased since 1882 by 33 per cent while
the populations Of towns with more than 100, 900
persons had more than doubled OF the total
s.2V2ooo are occupied in agriculture, :, PSI 900 in
industry. 2,25suoO in trade. $4,000 in the pro.
feSsions, 63l 200 as soldiers or sailors and a.,g
600 as servants. The proportion of servants Is the
lowest in the censustaking world not half the pro-
portion in Great Britain. The Catholics are about
4 third OF tho population. while Of the whole

DEWEY CKLEBRA IRON HARVEST
Pictures and Othor Souvenirs Sold by Hun.
dreds OF Thousands.

Some idea Of the size OF the Dewey celebra.
ton. and the number OF strangers in town may
be gathered from the number Of articles sold
by street fakirs during the i've days OF cxtraor-
binary activity. The boss iakir. George W,
Stvers OF Ann street. has figured up the NUM-
Der OF sales made and gives the figures.

'Ot ono kind Of Dewey picture 10000 were
sold in two days: OF another. showing Dewey In
fatigue uniform. $4,000. while $4,000 en-
bossed pictures OF the Admiral were got rid Of
so easily that the fakirs wished they had $780,
600 more. There were five leading styles OF
big prints. and OF these 100000 were sold bee
sides more than $4,000 OF less attractive valt-
eties
The little plaques went like cakes to-
hungry soldiers as long as they lasted: $4,000
were sent out. Then 1920 medalions and
$4,000 aluminium medals and 10000 maltese
crosses were got rid OF at various prices. That
hybrid Dewey schley medal found $4,000 pur-
chasers. and $4,000 other medals OF various
kinds found buyers About the best selling
medals were those Of aluminium in the shape OF
star: 81. 600 found their market. The paper
red white and blue Dewey hat was attractive
to S.64U buyers.
Soldier EN- blems. such as canteens. crossed
brass guns and swords. rsgimental mum bers ON
buttons and hat pins. all were attractive to
some thousands OF buyers. while uncounted
thousands OF Dewey paper weights. flags. hand

forced their way to offices and houses already.
and the sale la undim in ished.
But the one article which sold better than all
the rest during the Dewey cele bration. and put
to shame the calamity howlers. was a little
Hilk American flag which the fakirs sold on
the curbstone. OF these more than 100000
were sold and tied to the buttonholes Of the
purchasers. as spectators OF the parade crowds
may remember. And never was tho demand for
the flag SO great as now. as al retailers and
wholesalers are ready to testify. Altogether.
more than l,25O.O 900 articles were sold on the
streets during the celebration which related
directly to that event"

When General GALLIENI became Governor
General Of Madagascar, two years ago, he
warned the Hovas against further revolt
against the power Of France, and made this
ailusion to their Queen, whom he had ban
ishcd from the country:
lyon had Queen whose name was invoked by the
leaders OF the rebellion ordered her to descend
her throne and take the path of exile to the end
that nobody should doubt that there was but one
master in Madagascar. and that was France
This unhappy woman, Queen RANAvA-
Iona Ill, was taken to the island Of Re-
union, where France supported her and her
suite in comfort, II not in luxury. 1t was
decided, however, a few months ago, that
she was too near her native home and
ought to be taken SO far away that no
danger need be apprehended OF her par
ticpatng in any schemes against the
colonial Government. She was therefore
removed to Algeria, where her husband
and Prime Minister had died in exile, and
she is likely to spend the rest Of her life a
prisoner in that strange land.
Some of the exiled rulers have been re-
moved not because they made war on the
whites, but on account Of their inhuman
treatment of their own subjects. The most
conspicuous among these despots was T,p.

A Lively Chase.

Loren Anderson, OF New Haven, furnished his
full share OF excitement yesterday afternoon
and gave Deputy sheriff j. L. Cady chance to
show his sprinting qualities.
Anderson was arrested yesterday and taken
before Justice Baldwin on CT arge OF assault
and battery, preferred by Mrs. Anderson, who
says he threatened to kill her. The examina'
ton was set for next week wednesday, and
bail was fixed at a hundred dollars. Anderson
thought he could get bail and asked to be
allowed to 60 to the grocery store OF FREQ
Carpenter, whom he thought would furnish It..
The officer told him he didn't wish to humilitate
him and wouldn't handcuf him but would go
with him, and then the fun began.
The first intimation the deputy sheriff had
that something was wrong came when he saw
Anderson dart through the back door or the
grocery and disappear like flash. Cady FOL
lowed, quite naturally, and sprinting match
was started with the course along Ball street
to Mason, down Mason to the west end OF
the street and then down to the river
bank where the officer soon discovered
him in some bushes back Of Mr.. Broads resi-
dence, working toward the Mulberry street
bridge. Getting into delivery wagon the OIL
Ger rode to the bridge and started after his
man who this time jumped into the river, and
seeing one of the delivery men on the oppo'
site bank started down stream leading merry
chase down to the big island when Oficer Cady
a lso went out to the island, and after chasing
Anderson off the lower end caught him In the
water. AS Anderson proceeded to fight he was
promptly subdued with a club and rendered I'M
conscious for his trouble. He was then carried
in delivery wagon to the city hall where DR..
Mccormick worked over him and brought him
to consciousness.
The fellow explained his actions merely by
saving that he didn't want to make so much
trouble but expected and wished that the OH
Ger would shoot him. He will probably await
his examination in Jail. In the meantime in
vestigations will be made regarding his sanity
