Mrs & J. Edwards of ST. Louis. one Of

from the fact that the agency assigned one
guide and two baggagemen TO party of

irving to drink up all the liquor they
between London and Italy, and as a result
the baggage was hopelessly mixed. The
hotels the tourists were assigned 20 were
for the most part of such character and
So limited IN accommodations that the
sightseers suffered all sorts of inconve-

to be made in carriages had to be taken on

THE LARGEST CITIES
A Healthy Growth Shown by the
Census.
BUILDING UP OF THE SUBURBS
Effect of the Increase of Trolley
Lines.
THE CASE OF OMAN A

The census of the thirty largest cities of
the United States has been completed ana
the result shows a healthy increase in pop
ulation The boom conditions that existed
from 1880 to 1890 have not been equaled
during the last ten years but the growth Oh
cities has been steady. During the last de-
cada the trolley electric car has been run in
all directions from the large cities of the
country and suburbs have been developed
about these great centers of population,
where people now live who, without easy
transportation facilities, would have re-
NAMED in the old limits of the cities Ihere
Is no doubt that this cause has been an I'M
portant one in keeping down the population
of large cities within the past ten years.
Washington Drops Two Places.
According to the twelfth census this city Is
the fifteenth largest in the country. NOT
being a manufacturing city, it was not ex-
pected that Washington would increase In
population as rapidly as some other cities,
and this has been shown TO be the fact, as
1t has dropped from thirteenth to fif-
teenth place in regard to population IN
1880 both Detroit and Milwaukee had less
popula tion than Washington. Now they are
slightly ahead of this city, each having
populat ton of over $4,000. The rate Of in
crease for this city during ten years was
2O9S per cent there being only four other
of the thirty largest cities that had
smaller rate of increase, these cities ana
their per cent of increase being New Or
leans, 1892 per cent; Baltimore, lib per
cent; San Francisco, 14.6 per cent, and
Cincinnati 9.7 per cent Omaha, Neb,
showed siecrease of 1881 or 1858 per
cent. The decrease in the population of
Omaha is brought about by the fact that the
census returns from that city in 1890 were
padded out of all natural proportions.
TsIedo's Great Increase.
The greatest increase of population in
the cities of the country has been among
the manufacturing cities of the great lakes.
Toledo on Lake Erie, leads the list in the
rate Of its growth, having increased 61.SS
per cent in population in ten years Chi
cago increased "a "A per cent. Many OF the
cities Of the west that We're booming in the
eighties came down to very normal and
steady growth in the nineties.
The population of the thirty largest cities

with their rates of increase. follow:

There is rumor af1oat that the Hoffner
