MOTHER AND
CHILD PERISH.

About elevenlo clockllast night a
small house OH the Ranchte farm
better known as the William Row.
land place located about mile and
a half from Media, caught fire and
was burned to the ground. 4. wo-
man and her year-oid babe perish
ed in the flames.
The place is owned by T. Speer
Dickson, business manager OF the
Media Ledger,and wife and four lit
tie children. Last night the man
went to Philadelphia and late in
the evening the woman prepared
to retire. She started upstairs
with aliehted lamp. and when about
half way up the Steps she tripped
and fell, dropping the lamp, which
exploded, and ignlted her clothing.
The fall rendered her unconscious.
The oldest child in the family is
an eight-year- old boy, and the lit
lie fellow proved himself a hero.
He promptly realized the danger
which imperiled the lives Of lis
mother and baby brother, and pre-
pared to make strenuous efforts to
save them from a horrible death.
He first conducted his two little
sisters to Place ofsafety and then
hurried back to save his mother
and baby.
The women had not recovered
consciousness and was completely
surrounded by flames, through
which the little lad dashed Oh his
errand of rescue. His clothing
and hair were scorched, his hands
burned, Eut he tugged at the
unconscious form in an effort to
drag it from the burning building.
His strength was not equal to the
task. howevcr.a and he was forced to
back out ofthe burning house and
compelled to stand by and see the
home destroyed and his mother
and infant brother consumed by
the relentless flames.
When the news CT the catas-
trophc reached Media hundreds of
citizens hurried to the scene, but
they arrived too late to be Of any
service, further than to care for the
aud homeless boy and girls.
The lads cries and lamenta-
tons were pitiful to hear and he
refused to be comforteb. At
midnight last night the father had
not returned and he knew nothing
of the awful tragedy which had
deprived him Of his home.

| man" will make his bow to the
public. He will be abroad early
on Friday morning, and it will be
easy to recognize him by the large
portfolio he will carry. Inside the
portfolio he will have number of
schedules, containing all kinds of
strange questions that must be ans
swered, for he will have the strong
arm of the law behind him. ANY
angry housewife who thinks the
census man "a BRUTE" because he
asks questions that seem to be per-
sonal and are annoying, had better
not slam the door in his face, or she
will get the worst of the argument.
The law says that the questions
must be answered, and if the enum-
orator persists in asking how old
she is, or where her father was
born, whether she is divorced or if
her house is mortgaged she will
have to answer if she cannot look
pleasant, as there is penalty for
turning the census men down.
The years 1900 and 1901 will
constitute the greatest census-tak-
ing era in the history of the world.
Besides this country, fourteen of
the principal European countries
are to count noses,' but the
census Of the United States is to be
more extensive than that of and
othernation.
The last census cost 81, 271. 500,
and more than $4,000 men were en-
ployed in making it. This census
will be even a greater effort.
The law requires that the census
shall be taken between June and
June Is. AS two Of these days fall
on Sunday. but thirteen working
days are left.
Several Objectionable questions
which were asked of citizens by
census enumera tors ten years ago
will be omitted this time. For eX-
ample, persons suffering from any
chronic disease will not be request
ed to disclose that fact.
These are the questions which
