MAY BE A CRANK.
And Again He May Be Poor Hand al
Burglary.

The police are trying to locate an in
dividual who has visited several houses
in the east part of the city, represent
ing himself as a census taker. The man
has done nothing that could be consid-
cred criminal in fact, his actions are
rather those of an insane person.
The officers have been unable to gain
information of any accredited census
enumerator that is working in the city
and are inclined to the belief that the
unknown is crank, or possibly thief
trying to get an idea of the inside of
dwellings.
The course pursued on visiting a
house is curious. He carries no book or
memorandum of any sort but asks
whether there have been any births OF
deaths in the family during the year
past, and whether there are any old
maids in the house or not
He is described as 25 to 30 years old
medium build, dark complexion, dark
hair, eyes and moustache, turned up al
the ends. He wears a black derby hat
and long black overcoat and presents a
decidedly prosperous appearance. In
quiries have been made at Summer
street asylum and Blomingdale hospital
to ascertain whether any of the patti.
ents are missing or not, but no ESCAPED
patients are reported.
The police think that the man maN
possibly be thief who inquiries a
| houses for the purpose of determining
whether there is any one at home OF
not with possible idea Of burglary.

HAMMoND's HOPES.
Plans Are Forming for an Increase in as
ISOLATION Membership.


A persistent effort is being made by
President Alfred S. Roe, Secretary Hal
sey Hammond and his assistant, Clar-
ence A. Fenner. together with the
members of the new membership COM
mittee of the Y. NJ. c. A., to increase
the membership in the association, and
during the past two weeks there has
been considerable increase as a result
Of their efforts. There is a movement
on foot among those interested to per-
feet some plan which shall bring in a
large number of members in a short
time. President Roe is anxious to
reach the 1000 limit at once, when it is
claimed the association will be self
sustaining.
There is to be special evangelistic
service in Association Hall on Sunday
at S.45 o'clock. at which time Rev. L.
M. 5. Haynes will be present and con-
duct the service.
There will be an all-day session next
Monday of the general secretaries, ply
steal directors and representatives of
Y. M. G. A. work in Massachusetts and
Rhode Island at. the rooms of the as
ISOLATION. The delegates will be quar-
tered While in this city at the Bay
State House 1t is anticipated that
there will be a large attendance.
The board of directors of the associa-
ton will hold an adjourned meeting in
the parlors on Tuesday evening.
On Thursday evening the fifth attrac-
ton in the star course will be the Rog-
ers-Gridley recitals. These entertain
ers have been heard here before, and
are sure to give an excellent entertain
ment. Van Veachton Rogers, the cele-
brated harpist, is probably as we'll
known and as gifted an artist on the
harp as can be found in the country,
and Charles T. Grilley is equally we'll
known as an entertainer.

Talks TO Turner's.


Talks to Turner's.
The Worcester Turn Verein was ad-
dressed last night by Herr Julius
Vahlteich Of Chicago, former member
of the German reichstag. His subject
was 1.-The future of the American ma
tion," and he dwelt principally upon the
growing power of trusts and syndicates
and the chances for a laboring man to
earn living. He said that there would
soon have to be found a remedy for
underpaid labor and advocated a high
er education for the masses and more
interest in political situations. He
thought delegates sent to the legisla-
lures and to congress should be chosen
from those in favor of the betterment
of the masses of the people and not pre-
JUDGED in favor Of trusts.
Herr Vahlteich has been sent out by
the National Turnbund to speak before
the several societies in the country. He
is an able speaker and was received
with much applause. After the speak
ing a social dance was held in the gym
nasium hall.
