gagged at the temporary offices of the census
today going over preliminary matters
There was q host of applicants for places
but few of these had personal interviews
Many applications have been filed, but it
will be impossible to give them considera-
ton for a considerable period Director
Merriam furthermore made the announce
ment yesterday that these appointments
must be preceded by an examination. AS
sistant Director Fred H. Wines is en- route
to Washington and will have a conference
with Governor Merriam looking to pre-
liminary plans. Referring to the coming

and firm and sound principles that underlie

gagged in that work in the country This
will be done only after careful delbera-
ton and consultation with such men as
Commissioner of Labor Carroll D. Wright,
Henry Gannett and other eminent authori-
ties. Then, the heads of the various bu-
reaus will be selected after padnstakiny
consideration, and they will be men of

be limited as the value Of the undertaking

prOvements at Cumberland Sound, Ga.

On the advice of the War Department the
treasury accounting officers have held up
the payment of about quarter of million
dollars to the Atlantic Construction Com
pany on account of harbor Improvement
work performed at Cumberland Sound, Ga
This was one of the projects under the di-
rection of Capt. Oberlin NJ. Carter, Corps

basis for consideration by the court martial

partment had about S4O0,000 balance left
at the conclusion of the Cumberland Sound
Improvement, and ii was against this bal
ance that the construction company at
tempted to draw after nesleCting TO pre-
sent its claims for several years. The

War Department to the claim and the lat
ter recommended that il be held up pending
final action by the government in the case

Much of the increase, says the report. is
no doubt due to the numerous arrivals of
men and ships during the year and the
consequent demand for increased supplies
of all descriptions, and also to the opening
up of new plantations. The increase, how
ever, if continued for the same rate for the
rest of the year, would fall below the in
crease of 1897 over 1896 in dutiable goods
and in goods free by civil code and largely
exceed it in goods free by treaty, which all
come from the United States.
The revenue for the year 1898 from i'm
port duties and port charges is stated to be
over $780, 900.

URBAN TENDENCY OF JEWS.
A Marked Characteristic of the Race
Ii Dislike for Manual
Labor.

The peculiar problems of Jewish dis
tribution are only half realized until
it is understood that, always and every
where, the Israelites constitute preemi-
nently the town populations. They are
not widely disseminated among the
agricultural districts, but congregate
in the commercial centers. 1t is an I'M
alterable characteristic of this peculiar
people. The Jew betrays an Inherent
dislike for hard manual Or outdoor la
Dor, as for physical exercise or exertion
in any form. He prefers to live by
brain, not Drawn. Leroy-Beaulieu
seems to consider this as an acquired
characteristic due to medieval prohi-
bition of land ownership or to confine-
ment within the Ghetto. To us it APP
pears to be too constant trait the world
over to justify such hypothesis. Fully
to appreciate, therefore, what the
Jewish question is in Polish Russia, we
must always bear this fact in mind.
The result is that in many parts of Po-
land the Jews form an actual majority
of the population in the towns. This is
the danger for Germany also. Thus i.
is Berlin, not Prussia at large, which
ia threatened with an overload of Jews
from the country on the east. This ag
gregation in urban centers becomes the
more marked as the relative frequency
for the whole country lessens.-Prof.
William z. Ripley, in Appletons' Popu-
lar Science Monthly.

BANDED NOT TO MARRY.
A Club of Twelve Boston Young a1en
Who Decide to Encourage
BnchelOrhOOd.

With the greatest secrecy an anti
matrimonial club was recently formed
in Boston, with a membership of Just
10. The secret was too much for one or
two of the young men, and now nearly
all about the unholy compact is known.
1t is proposed to dine annually as long
as the men hold together, and should
one of them be married he must give
farewell dinner costing not less than
ten dollars plate, and as much more
than that as he cares to afford, to ; II
the other members, and must also pay
into the general treasury for the ac-
emulation of club fund the sum OF
$500 as slight forfeit for his treason
to tie cause in taking unto himself
wife. Eventually, if all but one nem-
Der became married, the remaining
bachelor would pocket the contribu-
tions of the others, amounting to $500
and interest accruing from time to
time, besides which he would mean
while enjoy many excellent dinners.
The members of The Club of Twelve
as it is called, were DESTROYS of keep
ing their Plan secret, fearing that if it
became generally known society might
receive them less cordially than of
yore. Such result has not yet become
apparent. Indeed, matchmaking
mammas laugh at the whole affair,
limiting that these vows of celibacy
must represent some cases of disap-
pointed love.

An ensign OF the New York recently
had been acting as escort to several
young women who we're curious to see

the room that Ilobson occupied Just
before he sank the Merrimac the en-
sign casually mentioned the fact. The
girls stopped at once and insisted upon
entering. They sat on Hobson's chairs
and bed, examined everything minute
ly, and asked hundred questions.

eagerly asked enc OF them, looking at
q wornout uniform hanging in the cor
ner. The ensign murmured something
which the girls took for yes

hesitatingly, and then said, with sud-
den decision: "Ycs. will; I'm going
to have button
"A button!" exclaimed the leader of
the party with some scorn. s'Why, Mr..

again. It's too old. | believe I'll take
the whole coat"

toward the ensign. He merely smiled,
but his silence was sufficient consent,
and they took possession of the coat.
IF you are going to take the jacket,
you had better take it ALL" suggested
the ensign. "Hobson would have no
use for the other part alone" And so
they bundled it all up in piece of
brown paper and hurried OFF the ship,
as if they feared the ensign would
change his mind.
What are those girls Juggling off
with them?" asked the officer of the
deck as the girls went down the gang
plank carrying their package tenderly.
ooh, that's souvenir" answered the
ensign, laughing. Its wornout uni
form of some petty officer, but they
think it's Hobson's, ard insisted upon
taking it, and wasn't hard-hearted
enough to disappoint them"

The stamp of royal approval has

introduction of machines for making
lace, wrote to her sister queens
throughout Europe and received their.

the advent of lacesnalling machinery
the number of lacemakers in Belgium
and northern France has decreased
by about 10000, and many of these
workers have been unable to secure
employment. Queen Marie therefore
took the matter up and has met with
no inconsiderable degree of success.
Her majesty is one of IL MOST accom-
