The Coming United states Census.

lt is not anticipated that the coming census will show more than a 20 per cent increase in the population of the United States for the decade. Immi- grafton has been small compared with the previous ten years, and the birth rate is declining. The increase from 1870 to 1880 was over 30 per cent. Im- migration during the first half of the next decade was enormous, and yet the Porter census for 1890 showed an in- crease in the ten years Of only 24.s per cent. H. T. Newcomb a statistician of the agricultural department, estimates for next year population of "A ,4S0 900, which would be an increase over 1890 of less than 19 per cent.

 "As for me" ventured the man with the wooden head, T can't indorse your views. You lay claim that our apart ment-house-our lat-nomenclature as given expression in Chicago, is too airy, too exalted, too fanciful. On the contrary it is not tho one nor the other nor the last of these You say: Here; a man lives in the Santa Maria. He comes home with a Saturday night tolerance of feeling for all men. He is willing to sleep on the grass in the in ner court. He is even ready to indorse the views of the janitor-to carry the white mans burden for the off-seour- ing of our social system. Then, you say, into what unhappy contempt does he bring name conveying such ten derness as does Santa Maria? My con- tentfon is that is all wrong with the decency of the man and all right with the name of the apartment building.
 The Abbotsford, you say. Great Scotti can a man live up to that? Can he dwell always upon the pinnaeles of romance while stHfing cheese and beer in little back room? Can he live up to the idea of dwelling in the eonlpan- ionship of fatted knights. who rescue distressed maidens when at his daily business he has to haggle over the sale price of pair of pants and to figure with the girl who brings him his lunch upon the relative merits of corned beef hash and chicken wing puree with fice?' While you are right in part. you are wrong in most. All of us admit that the sentimental atmospht e sur rounding man makes for much in his daily conduct. I say that it makes for everything. If I live in the Wash 1ngton' don't you perceive I am going to be higher, deeenter, cleaner. more devoted citizen than I would be if I lived in the Aaron Burr?. There is a standard set for me; if am half hon est to my environment I must try to attain it. Don't you suppose that resident of the John B.

HHiTSTED.

The entire edition of tie Sunday Graphic was entirely exhausted at an early hour yesterday, and there were not trough papers left to sup ply the mails. All the news-stands sold out at an early hour and want ed more. All of these could not be supplied, but those who were sold out their second installment in short order. T could have sold twice as many mere if l could have got them" said ole newsletter.
 And Sunday was a rainy day, toe, and not many people could get out for the weather. Had it been a pretty day there is no telling how many copies would have been sold could the demand have been sup piled.
 The Sunday edition of the Daily Graphic occupies distinct field in local journalism. It is the only local newspaper distributed on Sunday morning that is ariatcd on Sunday morning and contains nerS nhHe # fs nepes. The Saturday evening tso called Sunday mornlne) weeklies contain nothing that is new and has not already been pub- fshe during the week. The Daily Graphic comes out every Sunday morning with fresh and newsy mat ter That's the difference between a weekly and daily, and that's tte e reason the Graphic occupies a unique and individual field in local journalism. Advertisers in tie Sunday edition of the Daily Graph ie can, therefore, rest assured tbat their advertisement ts will be reaf1, and that the paper will not remain unopened or casually glanced at.

The illiteracy of Russia exceeds that of any other country claiming to have 8 civilized government. The Humani- tarian states that in 10000 villages Of the vast empire there is not a school. and it is estimated that not 20 per cent of the population of the empire has acquired even the rudiments of 3 common school education. It has been figured out that if the ear would dis band 100000 men of his immense army he would thereby save money enough 10 provide a school for each of these villages.

was due to the blue ink that Is used

death dealing substance was conveyed
into her blood. The young woman.

over a week ago noticed that q small
fever blister had appeared on her low
er lip. She had been at work at her
typewriter and her fingers were
stained with the blue ink used on the

from this was also on her fingers. II
