ABOUT THE CENSUS.
Conference Concerning Questions to
Be Put to the People.
Mr.. M'KlNLEY'S WESTERN TRIP.
At Urgent Request of Political Friends 1t
Is Being Extended and stops May BE
Made in Enlistments-
cherokee ReservatIon.

Washington, Sept. 30. -EX-Gov. Mer-
riam, the director of the census, has
had several conferences at the white
house recently Ms to matters pertaining
TO his bureau. Among these, it is said,
is the subject of questions which are to
be propounded to the 10000, 600 people
of the country next June. They have
been decided upon by Director Merriam
and will soon be printed. They have
met with the approval of the president,
it is said. In general the endeavor has
been to make the questions simpler
than before and to reduce their num-
Der. This is in accordance with the
views OF the census committee of the
two houses of congress. Several of the
questions which aroused the most an
tagonism in 1890 have been omitted al
together. The chief of these was the
inquiry of each person whether he or
she had any acute or chronic disease.
PRESIDENT MCKINLEY's WESTERN TRIP
Washington, Sept. 29.-The presi-
dents western trip is developing rap
idly and at the urgent request of polit-
ical friends is being extended at re-
markable rate. Senator Allison is in.
sisting upon several stops in Iowa and
the president will undoubtedly yield.
The itinerary in its final form will not
be ready for announcement before the
presidents departure and may be
changed after the start is made. 1t
remains undecided whether Admiral
Dewey will accompany the party. The
admiral is reported as firing under the
strains of the celebrations and may
feel the necessity of taking rest after
he goes through the Washington
ordeal.
THE PROGRESS OF ENLIsTMENTs.
Washington, Sept. 29.-Orders have
been issued TO stop recruiting for the
Thirty-eighth and Thirty-ninth volun-
teer infantry, those regiments having
secured an excess of recruits The two
colored regiments are making steady
progress in recruiting. The total en-
listment to date is 11,4S2. only 1000
short of the total number required to
complete the volunteer army up to it's
maximum under the presidents last
two calls.
THE CHEROKEE RESERVATION.
Washington, Sept. 20 The secretary
of the interior has authorized the
agent of the Cherokee Indians to re-
move from the reservation of that tribe
all persons who refuse to pay the taxes
under the tribal laws.

1t Is Estimated That 1,5OO Persons Per-
ished Around Adm In the Recent
Seismic Shocks.

Constantinople, Oct. st is now
estimated that 1900 persons persisted
in the earthquakes in Asia Minor,
around Adm. The first shock occurred
at four in the morning Of September
90 and lasted 40 seconds, The effects
were appalling. Whole villages were
completely destroyed. The earthquake
was felt as far as Scio, Mitylene and
Smyrna. The latest adyices from the
stricken area show that men, women
and children were buried in the ruins
of their dwellings before they realized
their danger, Numbers of bodies still
lie beneath the debris About 500 per-
sons were killed at SaralIeni and some
500 at Denizli, where three-fourths of
the buildings fell. There was proper
tionate loss of life in many of the
smaller villages

The stockings arrived, and the queen
sent the girl by way of reward a pair

KANSAS VETERANS.
The Principal Speaker OF the Day Was
Commander-in-ChIefS haw-The
Resolutions Adopted.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 30 -Yesterday
was the big day of the Kansas state
reunion. Fully $4,000 people were on
the fair grounds, despite the fact that
an admission fee was charged. The
principal speaker of the dav was Com
mander-in-Chief Shaw, of the national
q. A. Il. He spoke at the afternoon
camp fire. In prefaciug his address he
spoke of the controversy of the q. A.
II. with the Dewey parade managers

from this Col Shaw's address was de-
voted chiefly to the pension question
He favored an increase of pensions and
thought that law should be enacted
giving every old soldier of the war a
pension.
Resolutions were then passed com
mending tine action of the q. A. r.
veterans in New York for not accept
ing place in the Dewey parade.
After several other speakers had
taken the stand Judge Wood offered a
resolution, which was adopted, COM

Crime In England.

Sir James Vaughan, for 30 years
police magistrate of London, notes a
wonderful decrease in crimes of bIu-
tality and violence, and an increase, less
marked, in the crimes which require
brains and ingenuity. General educa-
ton doubtless fayors morality and re-
tinemeut; but there is in the cities
limited crop of children with inherited
or acquired criminal tendencies; and
when these are gathered into school,
unless great pains are taken to coun-
teract the influences of the street and
of their wretched homes, the mere
quickening of the intellect only gives
new power for mischief.

TRAGEDY OF MONT BLANC.
One of the CnInmIties That Frequent
~ visit the Famous
Mountain.

The story Of the destruction of the
baths Of st. Gcrvais, at the foot of Mont
Blanc, in lsO2, is told in THE Annals of
Mont Blame This was one of the ca
lamties that scarcely could have been
predicted or averted.
Owing to the stoppage of the sub
glacial drainage, in some way never as
certained, a lake was formed under the
Tete Rouse glacier, in which an enor-
nous body of water was pent up at a
spot 10000 feet above the sea level. Be
tween one and two o'clock on the night
of July IL, 1892, the ice that had held
the lake gave way.
The water swept in n torrent of tre-
mendous force over the Desert de Pierre
Ronde, gathering up thousands of tons
of rock and stones in it's course. II
passed with terrific roar under the
hamlet of Bionnassay, which II did not
injure, destroyed half the village of
Bionnay, on the highroad between Con-
tamines and st. Gervais, and, tearing up
trees as it went along, joined the main
river of the Bon-Nant.
Following the river bed, and destroy
ing on its way the old Pont du Diable,
it hurled its seething flood of water,
timber, stones and mud upon the solid
buildings of the st. Gervais baths and
crushed them into fragments. Then,
crossing the Chamonix road, it spread
itself out in the form of hideous fan
over the valley of the Arve, destroying
part of the village of lie Fayet in its
way.
Such was the catastrophe of ST. Ger
vais which claimed over $50 victims.
Utter ruin was everywhere. The once
lovely gardens of the baths were five or
six feet deep in mad, fine trees had been
snapped like reeds and enormous blocks
of stone were strewn over the dreary
waste

PRICES TO CATCH T. EYE.
The Italian Fruit Seller shows Much
Shrewdness In Marking
His stock.

The Italian fruit seller shows his
shrewdness as business man in n small
way by the prices which he puts on his
wares. The fruit is arranged in Tempt
ing groups on his push cart, and each
group is usually marked with ticket.
so that the pedestrian may know the
prices without asking. Over pile of
plums may be seen the tiny sign;
Eight for nine cents" Now, saws the
New York Tribune, the average custom
er does not buy eight plums, and when
he asks for one it is two cents, or two
for three cents, and, as the vender sells
more lots of one than anything else, the
eight for nine cents becomes a myth.
and his stock averages nearly two cents
apiece. Peaches that are marked 10 for.
25 cents if sold in dozen lots would be
fairly cheap, but one peach from the
same pile always costs three cents. and
as 1.-TWO for five" is the popular sale in
that class the lot which is advertised at
25 cents usually brings more than 30.
In the orange season eight for 25
cents" is favorite price placed on the
fruit, which is really sold for four cents
apiece,
y bronzed Italian who has n regular
route over which he sells fruit at all
times of the year was asked: "Why
don't you make prices for one or two,
and not for eight and dozen?"
"Eighte for nine macke We look-den
ye pave two TO- one" and he winked the
other eye in a way that showed that his
reputation for shrewdness was well de-
served.

given its official publication Aug. s. One
of the provisions OF the ordinance is that
it should be accepted by the company
within fifteen days after its passage and
publication.
AS yet the company has made no move
toward the acceptance of the ordinance,
and the officials here were not advised as
to whether the ordinance wou be &C
cepted or not. Aid. Allard, of the Tenth
ward, who devoted considerable time to
the matter, and was backed by the Ham
line residents, secured its passage, when
seen yesterday said he had been unable
to learn whether the ordinance would be
accepted. There was no doubt he said,
but that the ordinance was acceptable
to the residents of Hamline and also to
the residents of the Eighth ward, who,
In the particular district through which

alton by Nov. l. 1859, and in accepting the
ordinance the company surrenders the
right to operate a line on Lexington ave-

case the company does not accept the or
dfnance on or before Wednesday the
measure becomes void and of no effect.

Mrs. Kelly and Mrs. Warner.
1.-THE two interested women were the

Mrs. Warner slapped her three-year-old
son. Mrs. Kelly said she asked Mrs.
Warner why she struck the Kelly boy,

Kelly slapped Mrs Warner. Mrs. War

statement, slashed Mrs. Kelly across the

Mrs Warner with the bucket, inficting
a slight cut.

practically the same as related by Mrs.

struck Mrs. Kelly across ethe face with
the switch Upon these facts, as shown
in perfectly legal manner, discharged
Mrs. Kelly. s.,

THE SCIENTIFIC WORK OF
A FOOD EXPERT.

1t IS n plain enough proposition that, If
we use up, destroy and cast out minute
parts of the body each day we must make
good these parts and rebuild each day
or we go backwards and break down.
Chemists have analysed the little parti-
cles thrown off through the pores of the
body and find Phosphate of Potash as the
result of active brain work.
This must be replaced or nervous pros
trauon sets in.
Can we rebuild 1t with the drug Phos-
plate of Potash?
No; for nature demands that element
furnished as found in the grains, in fruits
and in meat, and as prepared in her own
accurate laboratory.
Food experts have utilized the knowl-
edge that brain matter is composed of
Albumen and Phosphate of Potash
They have taken the parts of grains
known to contain these elements and
skillfully prepared a food for human use.
