ture. well as for the rest which he has
SO well earned. Mr.. OYSTER is accustomed
to keep in retirement from the 1st of Ma
until the 1st of September of every yea,
spending his holiday season in the water,
Of which he is very fond, and receiving as
few visitors as possible. This is a rest to

he is forced by the important relations
which he sustains to the world to lead an
extremely active and busy life for tigIt
out of the twelve months of the year
In fact, there is no other social and busi-
ness representative who is in greater de-
mand or who has more pressing and una
voidable engagements Of all kinds and de-
scriptions. Democratic and unpretentious
in his tastes and habits of life when at
home. he is an aTistocrat of the first wa

and comes ashore. He occupies the first
place at feasts. and no substantial social
function is complete without him, The
high ard the humble alike recognize his
importance and unite in doing homage to
his greatness. In spite of these constant
attentions his native modesty remains un-
impaired and he never breaks the digniffed
silence which is one of his distinguishing
characteristics Though he is on intimate
terms with people of all parties and ereeGs
and is the same 10 all men, no one has
ever suspected his sincerity or charged
him with attempting to curry favor o.
popularity for his own personal advantage.
He is eyerybody's friend and nobodys en-
emy, except when he is kept waiting too
long foT dinner, and he devotes his whole
time during the eight months of his active
business ana social career to the philan-
thropic effort of making life better wortn

THE BALTIMORE CENSUS.
Director Merriam says the Official
Figures Must SIuud

BALTIMORE, Sept. I3.-Census Direc-
tor Merriam, according TO q special des-
patch from Washington. was interested to
learn that a police census of Baltimore
was contemplated. In reply to a question
he said it would make no difference as far
as the United States Census figures were
concerned. whether the police reported
more people living in Baltimore than the
census enuIaerators found or not, as their
figures would have to be accepted There
have been complaints from a number of
cities that the count was Inaccurate and
doubtless all of them would like 20 have a
new count
Mr. Merriam holds that every precau-
tion possible was taken to make the cen
sus correct and while it is admitted that
an ayeTage OF about per cent of the
people in every city escaped the enumera-
tors, this, II is claimed, was unavoidable
The official figures OF the United States
Census Tor 1900 give Baltimore sos. .g57
population. an increase OF 5,5lS or 17.I5
per cent, from 1890 10 1900.
The police census OF voters for 1900
showed 49,. .S23 voters in the city, an in
crease o. 1.'S2 over last year. Allowing
i've Inhabitants to each voter. this would
indicate q population OF 604. .115. or 155 15S
more than the United States Census al
lowed.

IT BOTHERED THE BABY.
W hy Big Ice Company Could Not
Use Its Telephone
CFrom the Bangor, Ne. News }


The troubles of the American Ice Com
pany are not confined to the New York
newspapers and the courts, and the la st
individual to rise up and haTa6s the mighty
trust is a little Kennebecker not yet out OF
the crib And the way of il is this:
The trust has private telephone sys-
TEN connecting its ice houses along the
river, and running from Augusta to Bath.
y few weeks ago the line began TO act
strangely Sons times the man at one end
could hear perfectly, and again it would
sound the way it does when the central Of
flee girl has grudge against you and has
given you the poorest connecting line she
can get hold of. II didn't bother mu h at
first, and the trust officials thought that it
was only some temporary difficulty which
would soon pass away. But the trouble
grew more and more persistent, and at last
became almost chronic.
1t was clear that something must be
done, so the trust sent a c0ple of Inemen
over the Wire They had covered about half
the distance without finding flaw, and
were getting discouraged. when they
dropped into one of the house tenders
dwellings, where the phone for that par
tieular ice house was located. Stepping to
the instrument they found the receiver
taken off.
The man Of the house was away.

sleep without bothering that telephone.
but he wouldn't go to sleep with that bell
ringing every few minutes So / began
sperimenting with that thing and l found
that if took down that thing it didn' t
make any noise So now, when I want
baby to go to sleep l just take that thing
off and he goes right TO sleep The sleep

that I've kept it off d good deal of the
time But then, as far as that" :" she wound
up eheerfuliy, Il knew that it wouldn' t
make no odds with the thing s'long as we
didn't want TO use it,
Then the iinemen said things that the
baby would have felt hurt if he could have
heard and understood. but he didn't, and
slept on supremely unconscious that fer a
fortnight he had been delaying the busi-
ness of one of the biggest ard most noted

Seventeen English Heirs to Divide
omf. .sst25.


ELKTON. Md. Sept 1S,-In the Orphans
Court yesterday final distribution Of the
estate of the late stephen Bromley, OF Cecil
county. was made. The heirs, who number
seventeen in all, reside in England The
estate which was valued at $525, was
equally divided between the brothers and
sisters of the deceased and the children of
two deceased brothers
At the time of Bromley's death. it having
been ascertained that he had no relatives
residing in this country. the Orphans
Court appointed a commission to an Eng
lish attorney TO ascertain the rightful
heirs, as il was known that he came from
England. a New York correspondent to
one OF the London jaiiies. having noticed
the article that Bromley left an estate to
his English ielatiyes, drew upon his i'm
aglnation and sent the story that he died
in Maryland and left property valued at
Sl,G00,0CO, having a fine estate upon the
Elk River. in Cecil county. The story was
telegraphed back to the United States, and
IN short time Register of Wills r. f. ia
mar, of Elkton, commenced to receive nu-
merous letters from prominent Bromley
families in England some of whom held
responsible positions in the royal navy,
siNiES accounts OF lheH ancestors ana
making claim to a share of the estate.
Mr. lamar replied to the communications
and Informed them that instead of the es-
tate being worth a million, was stated
in the press. IL would not amount to 81 .000.
This placed a damper upon the would be
heirs of the $1,000.0G0 estate, and nothing
more was heard from them The English
attorney succeeded in finding the rightful
heirs, and yesterday the court signed an
order directing that the distribution be
made OF the funds-S625.
