of a dispatch from Gen. Brooke saying
that if the Cubans did not care to accept
the money he would send it back to this

that he could take care of the situation.

letters that finally led him to Joseph

told how Miss Gould had been annoyed
by the letters.

Magistrate Simms.

CENSUS SUPERVISORS.
Country Divided Into Districts to the
Number of 800.

washington, April 11.-Director Mer-
Ram today announced the division of
the country into supervisors districts
for the purpose of facilitating the taking
of the twelfth census. Congress pro-
vided that there should not be more
than 300 supervisors appointed, and
that wherever possible they should con-
form to the boundaries of the congress
siona1 districts There are 357 congress
sional districts and this necessitates the
consolidation of fffty-Seven districts.
This has been done chiefly in the large
cities, and while there are seven con-
gressional districts in Chicago that city
will be considered but one district. The
number of enumerators is not limited.
The responsibilities of the supervisor
Will be much greater than if a num-
Der had been provided for Cook county,
and the salary will be higher. In this
way the government will be able to Sc
cure the services OF q man VINO mas nad
some experience in this line of work.
In Illinois there are sixteen districts.
The first district comprises Cook coun-
ty and the second includes the Eighth
congressional district and Lake county,
and the other district follow the con-
gressional apportionment. The state of
Indiana is divided into thirteen districts,
all of which correspond with the con-
gressionaI districts.
Michigan has twelve districts, the first
being Wayne county, which includes the
city Of Detroit. The second district is
made up of Jackson, Lenawee, Monroe
and Washington counties. The sixth
district has four counties Genesee,
Ingham, Livingston and Oakham coun-
ties. The seventh consists of Huron,
Isapeer, Macomb, Sanilac and St. Clair,
while the other nine are the same as
the corresponding congressional dis
trictS.
Iowa will have nine census districts.
Wisconsin will also have nine, the 6rst
comprising the counties of Columbia.
Dodge, Dane, Jefferson, Rock and
Greene. The second district is made up
of Adams Crawford, Grant, Iowa, Ju-
neau, Lafayette, Richland, Sank and
Vernon. The fifth district is made up
of Kenosha, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboy-
gan, Walworth, Washington and Wau-
kesha. The others correspond with the
congressional districts.

BISHOPS FUSILLADE.
Warns Young Ministers to Shun
"Crooked" Christians

Newark N. J., April 11.-At the third
days session of the Newark Methodist
Episcopal conference in the Halsey
Street church this morning Bishop
Fowler surprised and amused the gath
ering by his pointed remarks to five
young men who were admitted into full
connection with the conference. The
young men were George Whitehead.
George w. Gardner. Chester J. Hoyt,
Wallace B. Fleming and Andrew ]. Tur-
ner. They occupied front seats.
Il do not want any minister here"
the bishop said, Ito cast careless vote
for the rejection or acceptance of these
candidates. You may be careless about
your appointments. but you must not
be in this matter. If you elect a man to
full connection when he is not properly
fitted for it, either from lack of natural
gifts or from lack of culture or ability,
or conservation or other causes, what
do you do? You have sent him out to
undo the work of at least five good men
and to do harm which TO number OF
men can undo. You give to him an ap-
pointment and the church is tomahawk-
ed. At the end of the year he comes
church. You send him to another
church, and it is tomahawked. So, by
the end of his first term he will have
tomahawlxed five churches.
''Then there's the other side of the
question" he continued. These men
nave right to stop. We can't compel
them to continue. They may say they
do not believe in our doctrines. If you
take this covenant" said the bishop.
turning to the candidates, there's no
going back. You've had time to learn
our doctrines, to get the swing of our
movement, and to decide whether you
are fitted or not. You are expected to
act like men, and there is only one bish-
op who can usher you out, and that is
the undertaken
The bishop was talking further about
che responsibility of a minister's duties,
when he stopped suddenly, and, point
ang to one of the young men, said:
What do you think about it?''
The candidate addressed uttered some
reply which was inaudible.
You are thinking of something else''
said the bishop. and then,continuing his
address, he added:
You are not going out on a picnic;
you're going to do hard work. Look
over the list of ministers in this very
conference and see how many men of
intelligence and ability are glad to get
a charge where they only receive $500 or
500 year, and some even Iessi
1T is a shame to the people of New
