Chicago Record.
The twelfth census of the United
States, the plans for which are already
well on the way, will be begun, SO far
as regards active enumeration, on June
LIST. 1900. 1t will be the first census in
which all the work of recording and
computing statistics is to be done by
mechanical means. Electrical tabu-
lating machines were introduced for
this purpose toward the close of the
eleventh census, but in the coming
enumeration they will be relied upon
entirely. Without such assistance the
taking of the twelfth census would be
practically an impossibility. In the
eleventh census it was seven years
before the final volume of the principal
report-that on population-wa was off the
cresses. In the census of 1880 the last
volume was published in 1889. Con-
| gress stipulates that the four principal
| reports of the coming enumeration-on
population, mortality, agriculture and
manufactures must be ready for pub
| lication on July LIST, 1902. In addition
| to his strict time limit are to be taken
| iuto consideration the entirely changed
| conditions of the reXt census. 1t will
| embrace for the first time the inhabi-
| tants of Alaska, Hawaii and Porto
Rico. and will count $4,000, 600 people.
| Concerning each of these human beings
| who are scattered ever SOME 1000, 0Ot
square miles of the earth's 8 surface, a
/ dozen facts must be recorded. The
taking of the census will occupy the
services of more than 40, 600 persons.
The members of the field furce-ir
themselves nearly 40,000--wiIl forward
their data to headquarters in Washing
ton, where it will be complied and pre-
pared for rublics zion by staff Of 3,00(
clerks in the central office. Each o.

punched the~statistics concerning eacl
person, are numbered to correspond
with the numbers opposite the name
in the schedules. They contain %!
symbols, each of which is an abbrevia
tion representing some fact within th
range of the census enumeration. The.

One Thousand clerks are to be put t

Middletown, Nov. IL. While partici
ating in an amateur theatrical at the
Hamtown Church, last night, Benjamin
White. colored, the hero of the play,
was supposed to have incurred the
jealousy of the dusky heroine, who
drew revolver and fred. Unfor
tunately, she held the weapon too close
to him, and he fell to the floor, the
powder severely burning his neck.
Quickly rising, the hero left the stage,
remarking: "Some gentleman is gwine
to lose his niger in such -. foolish
ness,'' and the performance came to an
end. The wound was promptly dressed
Whites condition was improved this

BLAND'S SUCCESSOR.

The result of the election in the
sub Congressional district of Missou-
ri is gratifying Richard p Bland,
known as ''Silver Dick, answering
fidelity to the silver cause, represent
ed that district for over twenty years.
He was the father of the Bland Bill
and deserves place ia history for
the ability and self-sacrfice he dis
played in framing and fighting for
that measure.
His successor is d. W. Shackle-
ford, damocrat, who had plurality
of 5000 over the Republican candi-
date, VIM. j. yoshall.
The Chicago platform was fully in.
dorsed, but the administrations atti-
tude toward the Philippines was not

From u cablegram we learn that
food for conversation was so low in
London that extraordinary interest
was displayed in the result of the
election and the Times and Telegraph
had heavy editorials as to the signifi-
canoe of the result.
