On June ! many thousands Of men
officially known as enumerators began
u, 49,. to take the twelfth
census of the Unit
ed States. During
the month they will be expected to visit
every home. They will ask many ques
tions. Not one of these questions is
unnecessary, and, rightly regarded,
none is impertinent. Every accurate
answer will help to carry out the pur-
pose of the census, which is to deter
mine and record the social condition
and industrial standing Of the people
Of this country. Truth-telling cannot
possibly have embarrassing results
The information given the enumerator
will not be used as basis of taxation
nor communicated to any assessor; and
If the enumerator makes any facts pub
lie he will be liable to heavy penalty.
The enumerators will undoubtedly try
to do their work discreetly and we'll,
Hr they AFe seput>ble citizens, care
FULLY Shsssn. The government gives
them al the aid it can, in the form Of
instructions 50 comprehensive that
they fill pampAlet of GA pages. But
the success of the census really depends
upon the intelligent cooperation Of the
people. Receive the enumerator cour-
teously, urges Youths Companion, an
swer his questions frankly and IN ne
way hamper or delay him. He - the
agent Of great governmental enter
prise which should interest and must
benefit every citizen Of the United

THAT MYSTERIOUS WOMAN.

Burlington, July 20 The woman
and baby who have been osclllatine
between Barre, Montpelier, and this
city for some time past came to the
front once more yesterday when the
city officials were called upon to sup
port the child. The woman left
Montpelier several days ago and came
to this city. When she returned she
had disposed Of her child and it was
feared she had made away with it,.
Later the officials learned that she
had placed tie baby with a family in
the north part of the city. Yester-
day the family evidently became tired
of the charge and wish to have the
city assume the responsibility.
The woman could not be locatad
yesterday but search for her will be
continued and if found she will be
forced to care for her child. When
confined at the Jail here she gave her
name as Isabel Mclvery and claimed
that her home was in Barre. She left
here and went to Montpelier where
the child was born. The record of
the woman is known to some extent
and is not of the best. She was at
one time an inmate of the Home for
Fricndless Women in this city.

MAY Be ALIVE.

Nergennes, July 20. -- Word has
been received from the Philippines
by f. w. Meader Of Monkton Ridge,
concerning the supposed death of Carl
A. Savage, a member Of Co. G, Goth
[. S. V. Infantry, who made his
home with Mr.. Meader previous to
entering the army.
The letter was written by Captain
Bardman Of Co. G.. and is dated Jan
l"ay, Panay, Philippine Islands, June
10th.
The letter states that the writer
was in scouting expedition with
Savage when they were fired upon,
and in the return charge that was
made Savage was probably captured
by the insurgents. He has been
missing since and until recently it
was supposed he was dead. Captain
Bordman, however, writes that he
has received information from an
agent that the missing soldier Is
alive and well, and he assures the
folks at home that he will be able
to rescue him.

A DETECTIVE STORY.

st. Albans. July 27.-The Messcn.
ger publishes the following despatch
from Burlington:
United States officials and Pinker.
ton detectives have arrested here an
alleged absconding paymaster of the
United States geological department.
The paymaster, whose name is said
to be Carr, left government gcologi-
cal survey on the pacific coast about IA
month ago, carrying with him about
$4,000 Of United States funds.
Since that time officials of the govern
including several who had worked with
Carr in the geological department,
have been shadowing him. They
| followed him across the cont inent and
finally arrested him in Burlington.
Carr is said to have been in this
part of the country for at least three
weeks and it was through the inter-
ception of his letters that his pur-
surerS learned of his exact where
abouts. The man wrote frequently
to woman in Randolph, whose name
is understood to be Sarah Jennings.
10 her he was known as Mr.. Hatch
and he called her Mrs. Hatch.
1t is said that the detectives found
the letters scandalously spicy.
The two had arranged to meet in
Burlington last week. Miss Jennings
sprained her ankle and was unable to
leave town until Saturday. The de-
tectives heard of her coming and met
her at Essex Junction. They arrested
her on the train.
Carr, alias Hatch. ignorant of the
fate of his companion, left Rouses
Point yesterday morning for Burling-
ton and was arrested soon after ar
riving there.
1t is understood that the Jennings
woman came from the Paciti lie coast in
advance of Carr and that they had
agreed to meet in Vermont as soon as
it was deemed safe. Carr is said to
be native Of this state.
The government officials surround
the case with such an air af mystery
that it is difficult to get many de-
tails. Enough is known, however,
story. -....,.-..
The Jennings woman is evidently a |
stranger in Randolph as she is not
known there, at least not by that
name.

THE WORST
Is Expected Throughout Europe
Regarding
THE LEGATIONS
Powers Most Agree Before
an Advance Begins.

London, July 26.-Mr. Conger Is
letter, the substance of which has
beer transmitted to the United
States secretary Of the navy by Cap.
tain Thomas of the U. S. cruiser
Brooklyn, has Increased the belief in
London that there is no hope for the
foreign legations in Pekin, and that
the elaborate fabric of dispatches
which the Chinese are building, to
persuade the civilized world that the
ministers are still alive, is only in
tended to enable them to gain time
to complete preparations for warfare.
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Times asserts that Chinaman who
was employed at the British legation
as writer and interpreter, has es-
capped from Pekin to Niu Chwang, and.
that he declares that at the time he
left Pekin most of the members of
the legations were dead and the condi-
tion. Of the others was hopeless.
He says that Sir Robert Hart, di-
rector of Chinese imperial maritime
customs, died July 2.
London, July 26.--On the best in
formation it is the opinion that Europe
still anticipates the worst news from
Peki,.- Tho prospects of steady ad-
vance4on Pekin appear to be endang
cred 5 long as the powers cannot
agree On supreme leader.
