CHICAGO TAKES ITS CENSUS.
A Population of 100000 Claimed
by the COmpilern.

Chicago. June 17.-Chicago has just COM
pleted police census and claims a popu-
lation of 2,OCO.O43. The work Of compiling
the census was done by police precincts.
and the returns were made by patrolmen.
Sergeant A. T. Long. who has charge OF
the police bureau of records, admits that
his figures are largely based upon estimates
and may be 100000 or 200.0 out of the
way, but counting the entire 200 square
miles of territory, extending from the
Indiana State line half way to the Wis
consin boundary, he thinks Chicago has
fully 1000, ,000 Inhabitants.
The census gives no details as TO rhica-
gos agricultural industries. the farmers
being too busy with their crops TO present
them with accustomed accuracy. 1t is
said. however, that the frog breeders in
the Calumet swamp district and the cab
bage tillers of Austin and Cicero are rat
iSfed with the count. Corn and oats in
Jefferson, Worth. Norwood Park, Lyons.
and South Evanston. all in the city limits,
it is said. will yield large crops. The po-
lice count included the lodging houses
conducted by Bath House" John and
..Hinky Dink."

Chicago. June 17.-Chicago real estate is
still in a bad way. Notwithstanding busi-

forced sale of the Schiller Theatre Build

Randolph Street. which cost $3.50, 600, was
bought for s35O.OO0 Second mortgage
bonds for s200, 900 and lot of stock were
wiped out by the sale.
The building never has paid, although
the theatre brings in s17,50O a year. An
other illustration is the foreclosure of the

and Twenty Street. This building
cost 100000 and was bought in by first

Stains OF Years TO
Be SECURED AWAY
State, War, and Navy Build.
ing to Be Cleaned.
The East Front Will Be Made More
Presentable.
street Improvement VIII Eliminate
the Dust Nufsance-yaluable
Papers Injured.

Just as soon as the street improvement
on the east side of the State, War and
Navy Building is finished the work of
cleaning the east part Of the structure will
begin. For years its east front has been
an eyesore, the yellow dust from the street
below settling in every crack and crevice
whenever the wind was from the northeast.
Congress, until its last session, refused
all appeals for an appropriation to clean
the outside of the building. Chief En-
gineer Baird, Superintendent of the State.
War and Navy Building. said this morning
that 1t would take several months to Ie-
move the yellow stains. which have been
the growth of years.
Superintendent Schneider. in 1888, rec
commended that an appropriation be made
for the purpose of clearing the east side
OF the building. but Congress refused an
appropriation. and every year since then
the recommendation has been repeated.
Superintendent Baird has made the fight
for four years. and during the Cleveland
Administration the Secretaries Of State,
War, and Navy wrote personal letters to
the chairman of the Appropriations Com
mittee of the House.
The Secretaries of these departments
last winter at the solicitation of Super
intendent Baird, wrote personally to Chair
man Cannon, with the result that $4,000
was appropriated. This money was placed
at the disposal of Colonel Bingham, Sup
erintendent of Public Buildings and
Grounds. This action was most agreeable
to Superintendent Baird.
Valuable public papers stored in the
south wing OF the State Department. have
been more or less damaged by the fine dust
that has during many years settled in the
compartments, in which the papers have
been kept. The face of the original copy
of the Declaration of Independence has
been somewhat scratched by these parti-
cles. This evil. now that asphalt is to

POSTAGE STAMPS BELOW COST.
Uncle Sam May Have Paid the Post
masters Profit.

Pittsburg. Pa. June 17.-William ].
Clark. former postmaster at Leech's Cor
ners. Mercer county. Pa, has been arrest
ed. charged with having, on May 3, 1897,
unlawfully sold a large number of post
age stamps below cost.
This is one of the postofiices where the
compensation of the postmaster depends on
the number of stamps sold, and the sup
position is that he closed out enough at a
bargain to warrant an increase in his pay
and clear a profit on the transaction.

ing considerable booty. the exact amount
OF which is not known.
The robbers did not go through the pas
senger coaches. The United States mar
shars Office at Fort Smith was notified and
a posse sent at once to the scene to take
the trail of the robbers.

TO TABOO PRETTY SPONSORS.
Confederate Veterans Claim That
They MOnOpOlixe Attention.

Columbia. S. c.. June 1.-THE question
is being agitated here of dispensing with
the young and pretty sponsors Of camps
and other organizations at Confederate re-
unions. After the Charleston gathering
complaint was made by veterans that the
sponsors monopoliZed the time of the re-
union more attention being paid to them
than TO the old soldiers. and that the re-
union was broken into by numerous social
functions at times when business should
be done. When in the auditorium it was
said the sponsors held receptions in the
rear of the hall and distracted attention.
II is now suggested that each camp elect
its sponsor from amcng the widows of
Confederate soldiers. The Sons of Vete-
rams say they are willing that the old Or
ganizations take that course If they wish.
but girls will be their sponsors and maids
of honor.
