MARITAL STATISTICS.

The object of the federal Gems US are

and the third a study of causes.
Probably no social Institution Ia 80

population as that of marriage. In
Investigating marital conditions the
law req uircs from each person q state :
ment whether he or she lie single,
married, widowed Or divorced; if mar

has lasted; If q mother, how many
children she has had, and how many
Of these children are now living.
From the answers to the questions it
is possible to determine the birth rate

power aud Importance of nations are
dependent upon the size of the popula-
tion, to that extent is the accurate
determin alton of these questions
matter of public necessity.
In The Uoited States there would
seem to be little danger of decline
in the population. But even when
we are sure that the population ts
growing, 1t is still necessary to know
how it Is growing. The millions of
India are increasing, but it is by Q
process Of many births and many
deaths. In good years millions are
born; in time of famine m lions die,
the population increasing because few
more are born than die. 1t is growth
but savage growth. There is . more
excellent kind Of progress, that result-
ing from the com bination of q moder-
ate birth rate and Q small death rate.
The marital statistics collected by
the census are Ia many respects very
interesting. Thus. the extent and
estimated in q way by sscerssining
the proportion of people between Sc
and 81 yesre OF age who have never
been married. Census statistics chow
that the proportion of unmarried
females between these ages Is greatest
In the east, In North Carolina. Rhode
leland, and Massachusetts,, for instance,
while the proportion is smallest
it the west. South Dakota, Utah, and
Oklahoma bringing up the rear in the
order named. Men, on the contrary,
are far more likely to remsin single
in the west than in the east. The
proportion of unm ar ried men between
81 and 81 is lowest in the souther n
states, q. g., Arkansas, Alabama, and
Georgia, and greatest In the block of
western states west of the Mississippi.
In Nevada 3S. per cent of the males
betvesu 1854 have never been married,
Idaho coming next with 32.4 per cent,
Montana next with 30 per cent, etc.
That marriage is still preeminently
the sphere of women seems to be indi-
Gated by the fact that more women
marry than men, and they marry at
earlier ages. Thus, only 81 per cent of
females Is years OF age and over are
u Unmarried. while among males of the
same ages the proportion is Al per cent.
Taking girls and boys between Is and
20 years Of age, 1t is found that one
out of every ten Rirls is married, while
among the boys she proportion falls to
one In two hundred. These were the
In 1890. Whether these
conditions have changed since then is
, question that osn only be answered
by she census of 1000.

Blowing Both Hot And Cold.
Tammsny proposes TO endorse Bryan

Hoping For Bryan.
| Outside of our own country there are
many hoping for the election OF Bryan.
Europesn papers are generally in

Filipinos and Beers both have vital in.
terests in the impossibility of Bryan
defeating Mckinley.
The Elder NC Clellan.
| We hear of desultory talk In New
York about Congressman George B.

Bryan ticket. Thirsy-six years ago
the democratic party tried its luck
with candidate of that name. The
results are ohronicled in history

A Change OF Name.
The silver republicans have about
decided to change their name and
propose to call themselves Lincoln

the lining to their cloud of denuncia-

An Interesting Novelty.

A window attraction that has drawn
much attention is the electric motor
engine in the window of the Bergstrom
Music Co. This is a very ingenious lit
tie affair gotten up by the Union Elec-
trio Co.. comparatively new concern
here, OF which Messrs. T. l.. De Cey
and J. II. Thompson are the propric-
tors. They were unable to secure steel
rails for the engine so wooden rails
were made and wires to carry the cur
rent run alongside the rails. A minia-
ture motor inside runs the engine. The
motor being worked by the current
from the light wires. Another ingen!-
Gus continuance here Is the placing OF a
storage battery, fully charged, on the
circuit through which the current runs,
The engine is thus really run by the
storage battery which is kept fully
charged all the time. Thus In case OF
the light current should fail for any
reason. the engine would be run
Just the same by the battery. II runs
along as smoothly and nicely as can be

attraction for the window which ID
