THE CENSUS RETURNS
No Results to be O for Two
Weeks Yet-Fffteen Thousand Dis
tricts Reported as Finished.

Washington, June 1S.-Director Mer-
riam, of the census bureau, said today
that the results of the work of the
enumerators could not be known for
at least two weeks, and it might be a
month before the first bulletin is is
sued. He stated positively that the
only news in regard to the count would
be made public through bulletins is
sued at the census office. The m
tors are strictly forbidden by law to
give out information of any kind in
regard to their work and if tn y vio-
late this law they will be heavily fined.
The director said that in view Of this
condition, any figures presented as the
work of h enumerators other than
those contained in the bulletins of the
census office would be mere specula-
ton and could be of no value. The
count of the population in the large
cities is practically completed and
about 5000 enumeration districts have
reported as finished. 1t will require at
lelst five days to check up the work
of the enumerators in order to ascer-
tain the payments due them. This will
be done in the various cities. When
this is finished the cards will be for
warded to Washington, where the ac-
tual tabulation Of returns will be be-
gun.

VIRGINIA FOR ROOSEVELT
Her Delegation to the Republican Con.
ventfon Solid for the New Yorker

Philadelphia, June 18.-The Virginia
delegation arrived early this morning,
and, like nearly all other delegations,
declared itself for Roosevelt if he could
be induced to make the race. After
Roosevelt they were inclined to favor
Dolliver, but said hat they would pre-
fer him to any nan whom the New
York delegation might agree upon.
Pork Agnew, delegate at large from
h state said: I'VE don't think there
will be any necessity OF considering
any second person if Roosevelt will
consent to run. We hin he is the
best man for the position II he will ac-
cept. After Roosevelt We like Bliss
very we'll, but Dolliver is a good man,
and we think very well Of his chances.
The rouble TO our mind regarding
Dolliver is that he Is not from a state
where he can add much strength TO
the ticket.

THE ARM0R PLATE CIRCULAR
Calling for Bids for Plates for Seven.
teen WarShipS.

Washington, June 1S.-The long ex-
pected armor c%ircula was issued to-
day from the navy department. The
main features of the circular have
been published already. AS stated, steel
makers are invited to bid for furnish
ing the $1,000 tons of the best face
hardened m above five inches in
thickness; $500 tons of armor treated
by the present process, less than five
inches thick; and about 1,150 tons of
unhardened nickel steel armor. This
armor is required for eight battleships,
six armored cruisers and three pro-
tected cruisers. The battleship armor
will be eleven inches thick in the belt,
six inches thick at the easements,
twelve. eieven, n eight inches for
The turrets, and ten inches for the con-
ming towers. The rmo for the cruisers
will be five to six inches thick at the
belt, five inches for the caSemate, and
five to six inches for gun protection.
The armor for protected cruisers will
be comparatively thin plates. Deliveries
are to as SOOn as practi-
cable after contract and continue at the
rate of not less than 300 tons monthly.
Bids will be received for furnishing
the whole of eac class of armor, of
for the first class in lots of $500, 5000,
10000, Is, 900, 20, 900, %, 900 or 80, 900 tons
or for bolts and nuts.
The bids will not include royalties for
processes. The testes prescribed are to
be regarded as minimum tests; bidders
must excel them if practicable, must
use the best and most approved pro-
cesses, as they appear from time to
time, and must make every effort to
improve the ballistic qualities of the
plate and keep pace with the highest
development of the art. Weight will
be given to early deliveries in awarding
the contracts. The circular specifies
h ballistic tests which the plates must
endure and these are very severe; a r.
inch plate being attacked by a Pinch
projectile, uncapped, with a velocity of
1,737 feet per second, under which test
it must develop no through crack. and
allow no material to pass through.

ROOSEVELT NOT A CANDIDATE
FOR the Vice Presidency-wishes Re-
nomination for Governor.

Philadelphia. June fS-Governor
Roosevelt today gave out this state
ment:
In view Of the revival OF talk OF
myself as a vice presidential candidate
L have this TO say:
1T is impossible too deeply % ex-
press how touched I am by the atti-
tude OF those delegates who have wish
ed me to take this nomination. More
over 1t is not necessary TO say how
thoroughly / understand the high honor
and dignity OF the office. an office 50
high and so honorable that IL IS well
worthy the ambition OF any man in
the United States; but while appre-
ciate all this 10 the full. nevertheless
1 feel deeply that the field OF my best
usefulness TO the public and 10 the
party is in New York state and IL the
party should see fit 10 re-nominate me
for governor I can in that position help
the national ticket as in no other way.
/ very earnestly ask that every friend
OF mine in the convention respect my
wish and my judgment in this matter
Standing in a room facing 4 Grove
of newspaper men this afternoon lie
made the above statement, readin IL
from a couple of sheets Of manuscript.
Sitting near him as he spoke We're

of New York and Professor jerks, OF
Columbia college, who have all along
urged the governor not 10 accept.
Jus behind the row OF newspaper men

organization. AS the governor e

quently glanced in the direction of the
group OF politicians. When he finish
ed he said: Gentlemen, that is all.
/ have nothing more TO say
Mr.. Lattauer said he thought the
statement timely and believed that il
would give the delegates who were
friendly to Governor Roosevelt an
idea of the situation. And l don't
sively, the Pennsylvania deleg A.on
or those who for Interior motives are
pressing the governors nomination
Then Mr.. Quigg and Frank Plat
simultaneously declared that they be-
lieved the statement unwise, and they
left the room, refusing to talk to the
waiting newspaper men.
The statement acted as a cold water
DOUGH on those members of the New
York delegation who had planned TO
nominate some other candidate for
governor than Mr.. Roosevelt. Howev-
er, the statement was received by
many of the delegations as a mere re-
iteration of R~oosevelt'S original dec
laratiOn of lack of desire for the nomi-
nation. Several delegates expressed
the opinion that the situation Would
not change and hat if R~oOsevelt's
name was presented to the convention
he would DE nominated and would moi
dare to refuse.
1t is pointed out as significant that
Governor Roosevelt will not assert
that he will decline the office if nomi-
mated. He hopes, however, with the
aid of Senator Hanna 10 defeat the
plan to intimate him..

Heavy rains have fallen during the
past twenty-four hours. In this sec
ton they have done some damage TO
lowiand crops. Rain was needed over
a large area Of the state. There was
considerable a yesterday afternoon
in some sections.
Among the republicans who left here
yesterday to attend their party's ma
tional convention at Philadelphia were
Revenue Collector Duncan Postmaster
Bailey and DR.. S. H. Abbott, of the
corporation commission.
The state charters the Goldsboro
Navigation Company, which will oper-

1t is said that the Seaboard Air Line
will extend its line of rail 100 miles
south of Tampa, to Boca Grande, in or
der to be hat much nearer the West
Indies. and on deeper water.
The republicans are now trying
desperate measures in their campaign.
Their latest is a garbled and mutilated
report of c. B. Aycock's speech, by
which they seek to make il appear that
he said the democratic party proposed
to rule by fraud, while as matter of
fact he said it meant to rule by law.
In every instance a prompt exposure
has followed republican attempts at
trickery in this campaign.

The Cuban Postal Frauds.

Washington, June 1S.-Postal In
spector Smith, who has just returned
from the Cuban investigation, reported
at the ~postoffice department. He says
the aggregate loss cannot be determin-
ed until every office in the island has
been inspected and the sales of stamps
to postmasters checked. This work will
consume several weeks. Some person
other than those now in the Cuban ser
vice, he believes, will be placed in con-
troll of Cuban postal affairs, and a sys-
tenn of checks inaugurated which, it is
thought, will make it impossible TO re-
peat the populations. According to Cap
tain Smith the Cuban postal system
will be continued as an independent
system. The director general will have
almost absolute control.

WIGS AND FALSE HAIR.

The first wig mentioned in history
was made out of goats skin and
was worn by the daughter of Saul,
king of Israel.
Wigs were in vogue in Rome toward
the end of the republic, and so well
made that Ovid says: Nobody could
tell if anyone else's hair was rea. or
not"
In the south of Italy the first ar
tistic wigs were made for the Capt.
MEMS, who lived in Apulia, and were
known for the luxuries of their toilet.
These people were, they say, the first
who painted their faces; this they
did with the juice of Strawberries.
Xenophon relates that little Cyrus,
when he visited Astyages, his grand
father, whose eyes were framed in
blue paint, and who wore an enor-
nous wig, threw himself on his knees
and cried: "Oh, mother, what a beau
tiful grandfather 1 hayel"
Phoenician women, who were proud
of their hair, having been ordered by
their priests to offer 4. up on the
affairs dedicated to Venus after the
death of Adonis, obeyed, but with
murmuring. Soon they were eonsoled
by Greek merchant who told them
that he would give them the means of
hiding their bald pates under luxuri-
ant curls. In his chariot he had hun
dreds of wigs of all colors.
Teutonic peasants were the providers
of blond hair for rich Roman prin-
cesseS, who loved the contrast of IT'S
haxen hue with their black eyes. They
even had morning wigs. small and
tightly curled, of any color, and kept
the beautiful fair ones to wear when
/ receiving their admirers in the even
ing. Messalina had 80 wigs to dis
guiSe herself

AS SEEN BY A PHILOSOPHER

Some people use apologies, instead
Of money, in paying debts.
Don't work friend in the interest
Of stranger. Lots OF people 90 it.
While lying is not eommendable.
some judgment should be displayed in
telling the truth.
If you must quarrel. make II so hot
for the opposition that he will suggest
"A compromise, and peace.
There is a young man in Atchison
who is generally admired; he quit So
ciety and went to work.
When a man who boards meets one
who keeps house, each is reminded of
causes for envying the other.
An Atckison woman is such big COS
sip that her neighbors dread to see her
come in, and beg her not to go.
The average man is told of his mean
ness so often that il will come in the
nature of shock to him when Saint
Peter let's him into Heaven.-Atchison
Globe.
