ENGLAND'S COMING CENSUS.
AN ENUMERATION TO BE MADE ON MARCH 81
NEXT
From The London Telegraph.

From The London Telegraph.
Under the direction of the Local Government
Board. the Registrar General and his able coad-
tutors at Somerset House already preparing
for the census of the United Kingdom March
81 next. AS it happens the date falls a
Sunday, and that day has been chosen because
most people are at home then The people Of
Great Britain-England, Scotland and Wales
will be counted simultaneously with those of
Ireland. In both cases the arrangements are on
identical lines, except that Ireland will have a
religious census, and the rest of the kingdom
will not. Preparatory to the census of ten years
ago England and Wales were parcelled out into
thirty-four thousand districts, so that allowing
for the growth of the population. the number
of districts next March will fall little short of
forty thousand. Each district will have an
enumerator, his duty being to distribute, col
leCt and COPY the householders' schedules In
sttutiOnS and establishments holding more than
one hundred inmates will be specially enumer-
ated, in the majority of cases by the chief resi-
dent officers Appointed about the middle of
February, this army of enumeratOrs will be
der the immediate control of the local regis
trarS, these in turn being supervised by Superin-
tendent registrars The enumeratoTs will dis
tribute the househOlders' schedules during the
week prior to the census day and collect them
on the Monday following Within a reasonable
period the returns must be delivered by the
enumeratOrS, to be examined and revised
by the local registrars before being passed on to
the superintendent registrars who in due course
transmit them to the Census Office. Summary
returns form the basis of a preliminary report
which is succeeded by a general report, and both
are in process of time laid before the houses of
Parliament.
When the results of the last census became
known the fact that the population of England
and Wales fell short of the official estimates by
nearly three-quarters of a million created quite
a sensation, but the random charges of inaccu-
racy not substantiated England and
Wales were shown to contain 20 9O02 525 inhabi-
tants; Scotland 4,O25G41 and Ireland 1904 750
making 37,T32922 the total for the United
Kingdom. What increase is the forthcoming
census likely to establish? According to the
Registrar-Generals estimate the population of
England and Wales in July of the present year
amounted to 32O91 ,907, Scotland 4313 993 and
Ireland 4.515.411, representing aggregate of
40,921,311 for the United Kingdom. Seeing that
the natural increase of the population amounts
roughly to 1l2,I12 every three months. the
of 1901 may be expected to demonstrate that
Great Britain and Ireland contain no fewer than
Il, ,259, ,5O7 people. or an advance of 3,326, ,5S5

ELEGANT NEW CAFE
And Famous Caterer to be in Personal
 Charge of It

Emil Lesser and Paul Gilardoni will be partners in the conduct of the New Met ropolitan Hotel to be opened on or about the 20th of September next. They have bought out the Metropolitan Hotel Con- pany, but the new firm will continue un- der the name of the old company. Lesser will give his attention to the business of- flee and Gilardoni will have entire charge of the cuisine and the cafe.
 Paul is one of the few really great chefs and restauranteurs in the South-an edu- cated, experienced caterer who combines art and science in the preparation of epi- curean dishes. Indeed, as a gastronomer he is, as every one knows, unsurpassed in this country.
 The New Metropolitan is to be elegantly furnished from top to bottom. There will not be an old piece of furniture in the house. There will be two dining rooms down stairs and four upstairs, each sup piled with every moderan appointment The cafe will be run on strictly first class lines and will be from the start the most popular eating place in Birmingham. It will be gay throughout the amusement season with theater parties, and private lunches and dinner will be always in order there. Birmingham is surely to be con- graduated upon this latest move of Paul Gilapdoni, for with a perfectly equipped kitchen and magnificent cafe he will be better able than ever before to do himself credit.

- APPEAL NOT GRANTED
Jacobis Attorneys Were Unsuccessful
 Judge Shelby's Decision

Huntsville, August 1S.-(Special.) )-Judge David D. Shelby of the United States Cir cult Court heard the arguments of the att torneys of Sanford Jacobi last night for an appeal from his decision of five days ago. Judge Shelby held that the prisoner be remanded back to the custody of the Louisiana authorities and the appeal from this decision was denied.
 Julius Sternfield, Colonel A. A. Wiley and exChief Justice R. c. Brickell argued for the appeal and Ray Rushton against it. Judge Shelby announced his decision at very late hour. He denied the appeal for the reason that there is no appeal from the decision of a United States Circuit Judge when he is sitting judge and not as court. This is a ruling of the Supreme Court
