HAVE NO COUNTRY.

AT San Juan, Porto RICO, Yesterday,
occurred the celebration OF St. JaIgo's S
day, the patron saint OF Spain. The
people exhibited Spanish flags and Cele
brated the occasion IN far more Joyous
and expensive manner than they Cele-
brated July d. An Associated Press de.
spatch says:
The fact that the day was the second
anniversary Of the landing of the Uoited
States troops under General Miles
seemed to be forgotten here. Although Ii
at Pone, Mayaguez and other points
there were slight observances of the an.
niversary it was apparent that the local
celebration had been carefully arranged
to eclipse that of the Fourth of July
which was scarcely observed at all in
Porto Rico"
A prominent Porto Rican, discussing
the celebration from that poin, of view
today said:
"Our people should not be blamed by
the Americans for expressing their feel
ings in this way. The United State:
constitution has not been extended tc
the island. The privileges of citizen
ship have been denied them In such
| circumstances Porto RIcans cannot ap
preclate American institutions, and nat
urally would not observe American holi
days. Today's celebration, however, wa:
purely Spanish, and many native Porto
Rlcans did not participate"

from an old friend. subscriber of the

the first of January each year, (Which
is our CUSTOM during that time, and
he paid no attention to our statement,
and now because the account was sent
to collection agency, he "Stops his
Paper" That is q strong reason why
subscriptions should be paid in ad-
vance. If our friend had paid for his
paper in advanc every year, he would
have continued to take THE TIMES as
long as he lived, and his children after
him, but now because we trusted him
for four years for the paper, he gets
hot and discontinues! Well, we are
sorry to part with our old friend, but
when he comes back to The TIMES he
will pay in advance and be happy, and
so will we. An editor is entitled to

In speaking of the work of Willie
Caywood who was born and raised in
this county near Modale, and who has
been riding horses at the New Orleans
race track since the commencement of
the season there several weeks ago,
one of the prominent New Orleans
dailies says the following:
The local public don't soon forget
their old favorites in hurry. They
showed clearly that they still have
soft spot in their affections for Willie
Caywood, who, a few years ago, was
the "thing" with local turtles. When
Willie Caywood showed Admetus first,
to the post in the fifth by a nose, the
crowd came near taking the roof off
of the grandstand. Willie certainly
deserved the applause he received, as
his finish on Admetus was grand
one in every respect. Had any other
rider been on the aged son of King
Alfonso he would not have finished
first. Caywood showed conclusively
that he can still ride as we'll as in the
days of yore, although increasing
weight prevents him from being seen
in the saddle oftener. he has not lost
any of his cunning that made him one
ofsthe star riders of the West q few
years ago.
1t is pity that the scale Of weights
are not higher, so that such boys as
Cay wood, Van Dusen and other heavy
boys can be seen in the saddle oftener.

Great work of the Census.

Mr.. w. R. Merriam, director of the United
States Census, gives an interesting account in
the North american Review of the elaborate
machinery that is already being organized for
the purpose of taking the census. They do
not expect the population of the United
States to be more than from seventy-three to
seventy-four millions. To count all these mil
lions there has been appointed director, as
sistant director, five statisticians, $500 emu
m orators, who will work the Hollerith ma
chimes, 300 supervisors, 5000 clerks, messen-
gers and others. They will use about one
thousand keyboard punchers and the entire
work of transcribing the individual records
will be done in four months. The actual
counting of the people will be undertaken by
50,0O0men. The full report of the census must
be completed in two years. Speaking Of the
cards used for taking the census, Mr.. Merriam
says: 1.-The cards are printed with letters and
symbols, so arranged that BY punching holes
in the proper space we get the following infor-
nation regarding each individval-race, sex.
color, age, coDjugal condition. birthplace of
person. of father, mother, years in the United
States, occupation, school attendance, &c.
These cards, though only 1900 of an inch
in thickness would form a stack, if piled one
on another, about nine miles high, and they
will weigh about 200 TONS

SINCE THE Admiral announced his candidacy
for President of the United States good deal
of interest centers around the Dewey family.
Among the stories that are appearing in the
newspapers from day to day is one to the eff
feet that Mrs. Dewey who had been Catholic,
had changed to the Protestant faith. A letter
from Washington says that in early life she
was an ardent Methodist, but soon grew tired
of that denomination and became an Episco-
palian. From this she drifted into theosophy,
and thence to the Catholic Church, becoming
a pew-holder in st. Matthew's, one of the old
est and wealthiest in Washington. rupture
of some nature in this church caused her to
transfer her membership to st. Pauls, small
church in the northwestern part of the city.
It is understood that Mrs. Dewey had not at
tended services for more than year when she
anplied to Father Mackin to perform the cere-
monv which was to make her the wife of Ad-
miraI Dewey. He declined to officiate unless
Mrs. Dewey would attend confessional COM
1;nuniou. This she of course agreed to and at
timethe marriage ceremony was
performed. Mrs. Dewey applied for member
shin in st. Johns Church, but the fact that
il was impossible to secure pew in that fash
;onable place of worship caused her to decide
on tbe Church of the Ascension, and she and
the Admiral will become pew-holders there.

THE LONG struggle over the Porto Rican
tariff bill ended on Wednesday when it passed
the House of Representatives, with the Senate
changes, by vote of 161 to 1853. Nine Repub-
licans voted against the bill. As it originally
passed the Houseit was a simple bill imposing
Is per cent. of the Dingley rates on goods 60
ing into Porto Rico from the United States,
and coming from Forto Rico into the United
States. As amended by the Senate and
agreed to by the House, all restrictions on
goods coming into the United States from Porto
Rico are eliminated and certain foodstuffs
and other articles which heretofore have gone
into Porto Rico free by Executive orders are
excluded from the operation of the Is per cent.
duty imposed on goods entering the island
from the United States. A complete scheme
of civil government for the island is also at
tached to the measure.
