THE CENSUS AND PERSONS AWAY FROM
Home-The count of the people in the
United States will begin in all parts of the
country, June LIST, and end in the cities two
weeks later and in the rest Of the country
before the close of the month. The people
are to be counted at their places of residence,
but as many persons and families will be
away from their homes during June there is
some danger that such persons will not be
counted. If they are not counted, the local.
ity in which they live will be msrepresented
to that extent, and in some cases this msrep-
resentaton may be enough to affect the rep
Iesentation in Congress of the State from
which they come. Local pride and State
pride, therefore, should influence all such
absentees to take reasonable precautions
against being omitted from enumeration in
their places of residence Such omissions
are moot likely to occur in the large cities
where families close their homes and go else
where for the summer. The occurrence of

in that case it Is less likely to be overlooked.
The questions to which answers are desired

to all farms and manufacturing establish
ments. They are being published from time
TO time in the press Of the country.
By taking this trouble the absent citizen
will do justice to his locality and his State,
and materially aid the Census Office in the
performance of its duties.
The census schedule will include inquiries
about the age, color or race, date of birth,
conjuga condition, number of years married
place of birth, year of immigration to the U.
S., naturalization, occupation, number of
months not employed, school attendance,
and ability to read or write of all persons to

ored man riding the bumpers between the
engine and front coach. He called to the
fellow to come inside, it being his intention
to put him off at Wilhamsport, but instead
of obeying the order the negro took a flying
leap in the dark, Baggagcman Hull heard
dull thud when the negro struck and sup
posed that he had rolled back under the
train and been ground to pieces. The train
was passing through the cut between the
trestle across the Conococheague creek and
Williamsport station when the leap was
made and the train was stopped at the station
and Baggageman Hull went back to look TOR
the negro. He saw where he struck the
bank near the top and plowed through into
