July, 1901.


Before this week ends the census
enumerator, the man or the woman
who is authorized by the United States
Government to find out all manner Of
things, will be abroad knocking at
doors in every town, village, hamlet
and lonesome country district in the
land. June l is the date fixed upon
for the beginning of the immense
task of gathering all kinds of facts
from the S0,0O0,O00 old and young Of
Uncle Sans children. Many of the
questions which made the work of the
1880 enumerators very difficult be-
cause of their dsagreeable nature
nave been eliminated from the list this
year. These are the facts you are re-
quired to give to the enumerator:
Your full name and relationship to
the head of the family In which you
live; your color, sex, date of birth,
giving the month, year and age at last
birthday; whether single, married,
widowed or divorced; the number of
your children, living and dead. You
must also give your place of birth
and the birthplace of your parents
If not born in this country, you must
tell when you came here; also If you
are a citizen. Your occupation, trade
or profession and the number of
months you are employed each year
must also be given: also how many
months you attended school, and II
you own or rent your home. One of
the particular aims of this census is
to gather complete immigration sta
tiSticS for the purpose of making up
new tables relative to the foreign-bo
population. Supervisor Wilbur intends
to keep the name and addresses of his
enumerators secret until they have
completed their work because of the
efforts made to induce them to do can
Vassing work. Various business con-
Germs are willing to pay the Govern
ment enumerators 81 day to offer
their wares in the homes they visit
for Government purposes. Many ig-
norant people would feel compelled
to purchase the goods, and to avoid
impostions of this kind upon the pub
lie the identity of the enumerators is
kept secret.
The House devoted the entire day to
the Alaskan Civil Government Bill.
Slow progress was made, only twenty
four pages being disposed of.

"Skin the Goat" Fitzharris and Joseph
MulIet Held Inquiry Board Vote Was
Unanimous to Send Them Back Under
the Law Excluding ex-ConvIots.
New York, May 2S.-James Fitzhar-
ris, known as "Skin the Goat" and
Joseph Mullet, the Irish Invincibles,
who arrived on the Lucania Saturday.
We're excluded from the country by a
special board Of inquiry at the Barge
Office to-day. Their exclusion is bas-
ed on the law which forbids the ad.
mission of any one adjudged guilty of
felony, crime, infamous crime, or
misdemeanor involving moral turpi-
tude."
Earl Cadogan recently pardoned the
two men, who had been sentenced to
life Imprisonment for completely in the
Phoenix Park murders in 1882.
Fitzharris, when asked by the board
of what crime he had been convicted,
replied:
Treason"
ne Sdlu lie udu Deen arrested ABOUT
nine months after the Phoenix Park
murders in company with twenty-one
others. Five were hanged. He was
sentenced TO penal Servitude for life.
Fitzharris said he was offered $4,000
by the English government to turn In
former. This he refused to do, and of
his life sentence he had served about
seventeen years.
He admitted he was a ticket-of-l leave
man. He had come here to recuper-
ate, he said, and wished to stay about
three months.
Mullet, when taken before the board
Indignantly refused to answer any of
the questions put to him. He said he
was not being treated fairly by this
government
After the decision, Fitzharris and
Mullet were loc ed up in the exclusion
pen. O'Donoyan Rosa soon appear
ed and talked with the two ex-con-
victs for some time. An appeal will
probably be made to Commissioners
General PoWderly at Washington.

fastest train for New York that she
could take, and was not many hours
mother. There for days and weeks
she stayed, looking after her patients
every want, and no sick one was ever
attended more carefully or tenderly.
No girl ever commanded so COM
pletely the homage of nation as did
Nellie Grant in the days before her
unhappy marriage to Captain Sartoris.
In temperament she had the rare gift
of sunshine, and that was why brave
General Grant was pleased to call her
Little Sunshine" as she sat upon his
knee in the big White House at Wash
ington, night after night, when his
Presidential tolls were over. From all
the wide world over princes and poten-
tates came to clasp hands with Presi-
dent Grant, and to tell him what a
great man he was. OF course, they all
saw Nellie, and capitulated to her
smiles. 1t was the same with folks at
Washington, too, for Nellie had the
same smile for all. But wedding bells
brought sadness to the White House,
and sounded a knell for the laughter
of Little Sunshine" Miss Nellie had
a will of her own, the iron will inner
tied from her soldier father-and none
the less unbending. She fell in love.
and not all the admonitions of her
father and mother and friends could
bring about disenchantment.
Algernon L. Sartoris was the son of
a rich Englishman who owned land in
Wisconsin. Both son and father came
to America in 1873. At that time Mel

rope, and they crossed the ocean on
the same steamer. The Presidents
daughter fell in love with the young
Englishman, and, strange as it may
seem, every one else who met Sartoris
diSllked and distrusted him. His own
countlymen, even, who were attached
to the British Legation at Washington
had no good word to say of him. Gen
eral Grant suffered the cruelest mis-
givingS, and did his best to dissuade
his daughter from entering into matri-
mony She was only nineteen, but she
was willful-very willful-and she
married the man of her choice. The
ceremony was performed in the East
Room Of the White House, and Mr..
and Mrs. Sartoris went to live in Eng
land.
Her life was far from happy. Sar.
toris was not what he should have
been. But the elder Sartors treated
her as a daughter. Three children
were born, two girls and boy, and
the elder girl, Vivian, is the one who
has been nursing her mother in her
recent illness.
When the elder Sartoris died he left
this daughter 100000 a year income,
and for a while she lived in London.
on Cadogan place. but later years
brought a longing for the homeland,
and she returned to America some
years ago.
She asked Congress to restore her to
citizenship, and, unusual though the
request was, it was granted, and Mrs.
Sartoris says she will never again
claim England as her home.
Thus it has come about that fair Wv
ian Sartoris is an American maiden.
