An Increase.

A Philadelphia census enumerator
who had an Italian district assigned
to him tells an amusing story of the
growth of the Quaker City population.
At one house the woman refused to
give him any information, telling him
to return the next day. After wasting
half an hour or so the enumeration
went to the next house. After he had
got his answers there he asked how
many were in the family at the house
he had Just left and was told there
were ten children and the father and
mother Being anxious to have his dis
trict properly covered, the enumeration
went back to get the answers that had
been refused on his first visit and was
met by the man of the house, whose
readiness to give him what was want
ed surprised him. In answer to his
question, How many childrenW the
Italian said, Twelve" with a grin.
But ! was told yesterday that there
were only ten" ventured the enumera-
tor $50 there were then" the Italian
replied, "but last night twins were
born"

A STATUE OF ST. PETER.

Rome has been filled for many a day
lit seems twice as long as the reality.
TO those who live herewith pilgrims
from all over Europe, the greater num-
Der of whom are peasants. The thing
that has impressed one and all the
most in Rome, the Holy City Of their
dreams, is the statue of st. Peter In
the Vatican basilica. The immense
bronze figure, sitting dressed In gor-
geous red silk robes and rich jewels,
the dark pagan face rising out Of the
medieval costume, seems to strike
them with awe and even terror, so that
when advancing to kiss the toe their
faces express mixture of religious
Joy and physical shrinking as though
they were determined not to give way
whatever happened.
The statue is said TO have had an in
teresting career. In the beginning 1t
was a Jupiter aud the Christians, with
that naive mixture of adaptability and
religious enthusiasm for which they
were famous, at once renamed 1t the
Jew, Peter, and set il up as an object
of veneration. Finally 1t has become
the st. Peter of the worlds greatest
temple and has had its toe kissed half
away by the faithful. There is a story
going the rounds that already in this
holy year, which is not half finished,
the size of the toe has visibly diminish
ed and that there is talk Of ''restora-
ton" However that may be, one of
the chief sights of religious Rome is to
see the people carefully wipe the big
toe of the Jupiter" with handker.
chief and reverently kiss 1t as though
it were something NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

PenrIs From Fish Scales.

NJ. Leuret, the French manufactures
Of artificial pearls from fish scales,
says that he will come to the United
States and erect works as soon as he
hears of a locality where the right
kind of scales can be had In large
quantities. 1t is suggested that suit
able place might be found on the st.
Lawrence river, among the Thousand
islands. The scales should be small
and have silver sheen. The brighter
they are the higher the price they will
command. The scales should be remov'
ed while the fish are alive if possible
Twenty-Five thousand pounds Of these
scales can be used n year. 1t is antici'
pated that twice that quantity may be
used I'm few years.

Pines Lined with Glass.

Pipes lined with glass were found
recently by workmen repairing the
plumbing in handsome old Boston
dwelling BY inquiry among the old
residents IL was learned that the house
was originally built about 1910 by a
man named Price. About that time
there was a panic in regard to lead
poisoning, and pipes were lined with
zinc brass. etc. Mr.. Price was wealthy
and decided to have his pipes lined
with glass. The experiment was not
successful. as it was impossible to
make tight joints because the heated
solder cracked the glass.

of my friends, and | shall indulge the
hope, that If have proven worthy OF

record as citizen and Republican
may also be such that their confidence
in me may not be lessened. 1t is un-

friends will place me under renewed

The Republican party is joyful for it
has no reason TO be otherwise. The
Republican party is also confident, for
it feels that with such men as William
Mckinley and Theodore Roosevelt, at
the head of the ticket, the party is
bound to win. With such ticket and
such platform they cannot lose, no
matter what the issue or who may be
the candidates to oppose them. Vic
tory is as certain as anything can pos
sibly be in this world.

EngIand's Splendid Paupers.

1--WE are not rich aristocracy,"
wrote Lady Warwick seven years ago.
1--WE are, many of us, deadly poor, lit
tie better than splendid paupers." Are
these splendid paupers, long owners of
rural England and worthy sustainers
of the traditions of a noble race, CIV
ing way to American manufacturers,
to South African spectators, to Ger
man merchant princes? Our old aris-
tocracy absorbed the Rothschilds and
Bentincks of previous generations and
made them part Of itself. The new
millionaires threaten TO absorb 1t. From
Skibo castle. near Dornoch Firth, down
to Norres. by Cowes, the cosmopolitans
of capital are Selling some Of the fair
est spots of our land.
These millionaire invaders are sc
enormously rich that they are indiffer'
ent TO the fancy prices asked for great
estates. 1t must be a very extraor
binary English estate which cannot
now be rented for from $4,000 to f3,
600 n year. The upkeep Of such place
will cost from 10000 to 10000 a yeal
more. Even the poorest millionaire
the man who is not making more thar
$4,000 year. can afford this.
Meanwhile in at least one case, the
man with a family history of 800 years

In President Mckinley, the people
have man of high character, unsul-
lied reputation, answering patriotism,
and stronger candidate than he was
in 1896, because his remarkable eXper-
fence has strengthened and broadened
him and better equipped him for exec
utive duties. In Governor Roosevelt,
the people have a representative OF the
stalwart Americanism Of the day, and
a man as closely identified with the
policy of expansion as is the president
himself. They make strong team.

No Trouble on DanvilIe Division
Of Southern Railway.
superintendent Hudsins Says TINT Not One
Operator Has quit Work on His Divis-
ion-only Small Percentage of Opera
tors Have Quit Work.

Mr.. w. L. Hudgins. superintendent of
the Danville division of the Southern
railway, was asked by virginiau-
Pilot reporter yesterday what effect
the strike of the Southern railway telc-
graph operators would have on his
division of the system.
In reply. Mr.. Hudgins read the fol-
lowing note. which he had written in
reply to the identical question pro-
pounded by the reporter:
Il notice in press dispatches this date
that President Powell. of the Q. Il.
T.. states his adviceS from the DAN
vile division. among other divisions of
the Southern railway, show that 80 per
cent. of the teleglapherS have quit
work. So far as the Dunville division
is concerned. not one single man has
Quit work, or hesitated one moment in
the discharge of his duty. They are
as unit in their loyalty TO the COM
pany, and the value of the whole press
dispatch referred to as a news item can
easily be determined by its correctness
when applied to the Dauville division"
TRAINS ARE DELAYED.
Mr.. HudGins said, however that
While not one of his teiegrnphers had
struck. the trains on this division are
being delayed to some extent by the
striking of some of the operators on the
main line. between Washington aud
Atlanta. He has been over the Dan
vile division twice this week and antic-
ipates no trouble among the operations.
The men are all satisfied, apparently.
he said
Mr.. Hudgins said that his first Init
nation of the grievances of some of the
operators was contained in President
PowelPs statement sent out yesterday
by the Associated Press. He says that
only small percentage OF the opera
tors are needing the order of President
Powell. according to advices he has
received.
a dispatch from Knoxville yesterday
morning to a Southern railway official
here stated that only fifty one men
are out on the entire system They
are as follows: Fourteen at Knoxville.
SIX at Charlotte, six at Asheville. ten
at Atlanta. one at Birmingham and five
at Macon"
