THE EASTERN STATES.
Their Great Growth VIII he shown
in the Coming National
Census.

"Why, sir, have already heard of six
states in contemplation west of the
Mississippi, and some say there will be
at no great distance OF time more" ex'
claimed Josiah Quincy, of Massachu.
setts, in his memorable speech in the
house of representatives in 1911, says
Leslie's Weekly.
The six states west of the Mississippi
which Quincy's fancy conjured up have
grown to 10. The geographical center
of the contiguous part of the United
States is far to the west of the mouth
of the Ohio, and is near the middle OF
Kansas. Moreover, Alaska was ac-
quired third of century ago, the
country's boundary lines were moved
outward in 1898, and there is chance
that the territorial limits of the Unit.
ed States may expand still farther at
some time.
But the eastern states continue TO
thrive with the rest of the country.
About quarter of the states in the
west and the east had censuses in 1895,
and the east held its own well in the
comparison. Minnesota showed the
greatest increase-20 per cent.-of any
of the states which had counts Of popu-
lation that year. Wisconsin grew Is
per cent, Oregon II per cent, Michigan
and Iowa each seven per cent, while
Kansas showed falling off in popu.
lation. Massachusetts,, however, showed
gaip in population Of Is per cent (as
great as Wisconsin's) in the same time,
while Rhode Island and New Jersey
each grew II per cent. The average
growth of all the states which had cen.
suses in 1895 was ten per cent, while
the expansion in the three eastern
states which figured in the list was
above that mark.
New York, whose population in 1890
stood little below 100000, will un'
doubtedly show total in excess OF
1000, 900 in 1900, or almost double that
of the entire United States at the first
national census, that of 1890. Pennsyl.
vania will have an aggregate in 1900
of more than 100000, and Massachu.
setts of nearly 100000. In wealth the
ratio of increase will be greater in the
east than it will be in the west.
The growth which Census Director
Merriam's report this year will show
on the Atlantic coast will surprise the
country. The tables of bank clear.
ances and railroad earnings, grouped
by sections, for the past few years, are
a revelation on this point; the average
newspaper reader does not grasp these
indications. The states on the sunrise
side of the Alleghanies are still de-
cidely important factor in the social,
industrial and political development
| OF the United States.

Khaki Costumes,

"Khaki'' costumes are considered
smart and likewise extremely serv-
iceable. They will be used for travel
ing and all kinds of outing this spring
and summer. But to many persons
the material not only is trying, but
positively unbecoming. This may be
overcome without detracting from
the desirable feature of the khaki by
the addition of dash of red, just a
little of it, for example, in the collar,
cuffs and belt. For those who prefer
some other color than red, blue is
good, although the contrast is not so
effective. Khaki suits are showing
much stitching in coarse white or
blue thread and are extremely useful
and suitable for outings. A brass
buttoned pocket here and there gives
an additional touch of utility and
militarism and is very spruce and
trig on the right sort of girl.-De-
troit Free Press.

Paris is not the noisiest of conti-

COURTESY MEETS COURTESY.
The UnconsciOusIy Profuscly Polite
Man, However, Gets Into Sc
rlOus Trouble.

The gentleman who figures as the
principal in this short story is most
exemplary citizen and the admirable
head of an estimable family. He is
not bit timid. Far from it. He is
known among his closest men friends
to advocate recourse to the duel-for
sufficiently serious reasons-as the
only method of vindication open to a
gentleman. But he is great stickler
for polish. His favorite admonition
TO his children ever has been Speak
gently; it is better far to rule by love
than fear" In fact, he believes a
good deal in what may bVcaled the
apologetic side of life. The incident
related here took place few days
before his family quilted the house
from which they recently moved. The
gentleman is too well known to be
quoted publicly in this connection,
but it will do to call him Fairweather.
He was alone in the house when the
doorbell rang out sharply, and
stepped out on the porch to confront
visitor.
Mr.. Fairweather-Ah! come in, sir;
| am glad to see you. Please step
into the parlor.
Visitor, amazed and delighted
Thank you, I'm sure.
Just hang your hat and overcoat
there on the hat rack-Oh, to be sure,
the hat rack is gone to the repair
shop. Never mind. Take chair. Are
you well? You will see we are a lit
tie upset. Excuse my shirt sleeves,
but the fact is the servants have gone
out for an hour or two and the folks
are visiting friends, and so it goes.
Well, and how is everythingP
Excuse my calling at such a time,
but"
Entirely excusable, my dear sir.
We are always at home here in some
shape. You are looking at that empty
sideboard over there? Nothing but

packed our silver; all solid silver, n
really magnificent service. About our
carpets, want to tell you"

shortly now. just make yourself at
home. Things, as you see, are little
jumbled up. Our piano. however, has
just been tuned. Sounds as good as
new. You play little? Won't you
try it? No? Well, can l offer you a
glass of wine or beer?"
Visitor, deliberately unfolding pack

courteous treatment as this. as
sure you, sir, l appreciate it. Now
you will permit me, ] know. to show
you this pictorial History of the

Now, sir, will you conduct me to the
place where you have packed away all
that solid silver? Don't move, please.

way, eh? I follow you. Ever so many
thanks. Courtesy like yours, sir, is
very rarely met with. think you

ESPECIAL SERVICES.

Solemn High Requiem Masses at
Saint Joseph's Cathedral To-day
and Next Thursday.
This morning at o'clock, and next
Thursday at the same hour, there will
be solemn requiem services held at
the Cathedral for the late Mary Jane
Carney and the late John Bruce. Both
of these have been most liberal in
their charity towards the orphans, and
it is therefore that the children from
both the homes at Elm Grove will at
tend the services in a body.
The w. & E. G. R. R. Co. has kindly
furnished them free transportation for
this occasion. Many of the congrega-
ton will also be present at the SER
vices. These masses will be the most
solemn that the Roman ritual con-
tains. After the mass the ceremony
of the dissolution of the body will take

At the Carroll Club Opens This Even
ING and VIII Continue Until THURS
day Evening.
This afternoon the Carroll Club
chrysanthemum bazaar commences
and will continue until Thursday even
ing. The affair will be very elaborate.
Five of Wheeling's leading florists will
exhibit, the whole show embracing
about 10000 plants. A room in the
club has been assigned to each exhib-
itor so that they may have separate
display. The exhibitors are Hess,
Laupp, Wheeling Greenhouse Com
pany, Helstern and Greiner.
No little rivalry exists among the
exhibitors and an attempt to get de-
scription Of the displays proved futile,
lest an idea OF one exhibitor might be
copied. Everything will be in readi-
ness when the doors are thrown open
this evening.
The large auditorium will be given
over to the ladies of the club. There
will be a candy booth, Turkish. re-
freshment and number OF others.
The ladies will also serve supper from
5 o'clock on. The club house has been
partly refitted for the affair so that
as pleasing an appearance as possible
may be presented.

A number of obliging ladies took
charge OF the various booths and many
handsome and servieeable articles

TO WEST VIRGINIA.
Men Charged with Goebel.s slurdcr
said to he Headed This Way.


MIDDLEsBORO. KY. November 10.
1t is reported that John Powers and
Berry Howard, under indictment for
the assassination of VIM. Goebel, have
left the mountains where they sought
refuge from arrest. Powers was at
Harlan and Howard in the mountains
of Bell county, both places being TWEEN
ty miles from any railroad. The men
are said to have left two days ago ac-
companied by several mountaineers
and to have struck through the noun
tains for West Virginia. The story is
generally believed here as Powers and
Howard feared troops woulg be sent
after them, but information of gentle
men returning on the train from Pine
vile. which is the nearest point to the
home of Howard, failed to confirm it.
They stated that nothing was known
at Pinevilla concerning their depar-
ture. Powers is a brother of Caleb
Powers, sentenced to the penitentiary
on the charge of being an accessory
before the fact to the assassination of
Goebel.
