The Diamond Garment
Cutter.

For years the masses of the people
have been unable to cut their wearing
apparel according to the prevailing
styles and get fit. The demand of
fashion has been so exacting that
none but an expert could do satisfac-
tory work. This has not been on ac-
count of lack of intelligence upon
the part of the people, but inventive
genius has not been successful in this
particular direction heretofore as it
should have been. There have been
many attempts made to get correct
system whereby all kinds of clothing
could be cut for gene raj wear, and
until the invention of the Diamond
Garment Cutter none had been sue
cessful.
There have been charts, models,
scales, ETC., without number, but all
Of these were either crude, or so
shrouded 10 nys'ery that mothers and house
wives OF the country could not successfully
use them, and the few that approached sue
cess had to be constantly used or the worker
forgot all about the principle applied. In
anyone could cut all the clothing worn by the
family without a great deal of trouble and the
cOmbioinR of a number of different methods,
none Of which was entirely satisfactory.
The need of a correct plan or system of
woSk was apparent that all could see IL, yet
none was able to remedy the defect until the
idea originated of symplif ing tailors rules
and applying them TO ladies dresses and chill
dren s as W ell as mems garments The merits
of the DiamoLd Garment Gutter system. But
few persons have any idea of the extent of
the work that be done by the Diamond
Garment Cutter. Many persons think of 1t
OILY model or chart Upon examination
you will find the Diamond Garment Cutter sur
passes anything in its work that has ever been
Invented.

Gated at 2l2I Fourth avenue. Later announce

TAKING THE CENSUS.
Work Performed at the Head
Office at Washing
ton.
ASSISTANTS THROUGHOUT COUNTRY

Now Attending to the Freliminaries in
the Agricultural Department to Avert
Possible Errors In the Returns From the
Rural neutrality-suspicious. OF Farming
Public Is Urged by the Director.
To build up a great Office like the
census office at Washington in Is
months from absolutely nothing to an
efficient machine, employing about
three thousand men in the national
capital and about fifty thousand else
where in the country, is a difficult
task, and entire success is out of the
question. The office naturally conf
pares itself with the stage of prepare
ration attained at the same period 10
years ago and tried by this test, it has
gained several months on its prede-
cessor. One of the problems before it
is how to put in the time thus secured
in such a way as TO most beneht the
census.
In the agricultural division, the
need of time for preliminary work is
perhaps as great as anywhere in the
census office. Farmers, as class, do
not keep their accounts as we'll as
manufacturers. and the returns from
farmers may occasionally include Sc
rious errors which a trained eve will
at once detect. Hence, the farm
schedules must be examined, and such
errors corrected before the tables can
be made up from them with safety. If
q farmer reports that his land sown to
wheat was 10 acres and the yield 1000
bushels, it is clear that an average
yield of 400 bushels to the acre is in
credible, and must be rejected or COR
rected in accordance with the proba-
bilities. Sometimes the truth can be
made out by an expert from COMPARE
son with entries in other parts of the
schedules; sometimes correspondence
must be opened to settle the doubt.
All this ranks under the general head
of verifying the schedules, and the
agricultuI al division plans to give
all the time possible to the work of
verifying each of the millions of farm
schedules.

Insures trustworthy Census.

If the farming public will continue
to cooperate with the heartiuess al
ready displayed, this effect will result
in a more trustworthy census of
farms than has ever been taken.
Farmers, as class, are less able to
cooperate than the Representatives of
any other great industry. Hence the
census office can do more for them
than it can for centralized lines of
business, which can and do make their
own Investigations, and it will do its
best to present a full and accurate
photograph ofthis leading occupation.
The director of the census urges every
one interested to aid the work.

The authorities at Geneseo yesterday
got touch of high life in handling
slippery stranger who in the end sue
ceeded in eluding the vigilance of the
constable who had him in charge and
made good his escape.
A passenger on the eastbound C.,
r. l. Il P. train yesterday left his seat
in the chair car to 60 back to the diner
fo- lunch, leaving in his seat his over
coat and grip. Immediately after he
left the car the passengers saw a
stranger occupy the seat just vacated.
As the train was pulling out of Gene
SEQ he hurriedly called the brakeman
and asked if the stop just made was
Geneseo. Receiving an affirmative re-
ply. he stated that ne had passed his
destination. The train was stopped
and the stranger alighted, taking with
him the grip and overcoat belonging
to the man who was in the diner.
When the latter discovered his loss he
left the train at Bureau and returned
to Geneseo, reporting the circumstan-
ces to the authorities there.
1t was learned that the man who
alighted with the grip had gone to a
barber shop, where he had his mus
tache shaved off. leaving the grip to
be called for later. When picked up
by the authorities later in the day he
was in possession of the missing over
coat.
