members, Mr.. N. G. Hathorn. of

to the Democratic party by parti-

following news-itcm:
The little parish of DeLisle, under the
supervision OF Rev. Father Sorin, fitly
celebrated the closing of the year '99 by
simple but at the same time a very i'm
posing ceremony. The church was ele-
gantly decorated for the occasion. Four
brothers from St. Stausaus College were
invited to sing and play dnriag High
Mass. AS the people came in, the joyful
strains OF Little Diamond March broke
up' their ears. Next Dumont's Mass
was sung, with accompanimenls of cornet
and violin. At the offertory "Maritana"
was skillfully executed on violin, cornet
and trombone. The young gentlemen and
young ladies of DeLisle deserve high
praise for their good singing and we'll
trained voices. In spite of the cold and
rainy weather the parishioners made it Il
point TO attend in great number, and the
feast will long be remembered by the IN
country.

He Struck Her With Brass
Knuckles and Fled.
CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-The home Of
Orrln W. Potter, at 1870 Lake Shore
drive, was entered by n masked burglar
early to-day. Mrs. Potter was awaken
ed as the burglar, with a cloth satu-
rated with chloroform was bending over
her, and screamed for help. but before
the other members of the household.
aroused by her cries, could come to her
assistance, the burglar struck her with
q pair Of brass knuckles. almrst rem
dering her unconscious, and escaped.
The blow cut deep cash in Mrs. Pot
ter's head and for a. time It was feared
that this and the nervous shock would
result seriously. but to-day Mrs. Pot
ter is reported as resting comfortably.
Last April the Potter residence was
entered by porch climbers, who secured
1000 In diamonds and jewelry and es-
capped without leaving clue. This
time. however, nothing was obtained.
Half q dozen suspects were arrested
but were released after giving aatlsfac-
tory accounts OF themselves.

Will be Ready for Congress Mt tho
Coming Session-Increase in Num-
ber of Representatives.
WASHINGTON, Nov. l3.-Director OF
the Census Merriam was Mt the white
house to-day. He called the attention
OF the President to the fact that the
figures on the population Of the United
States, the total OF which already has
been announced. are in such shape that
they will be at the disposal OF Congress
when 1t meets for any action 1t may de-
sire to take In the direction OF a reap
portionment bill. The renprortlon-
ment following the count of the twelfth
census will become operative by law
in 1903.
There probably will be considerable
increase both In the ratio and the total
number OF representatives under the
now apportlonment. Starting with q
ratio OF one to every 10000 inhabitants
there were s!xty-nvc representatives In
the First Congress. The eleventh CEN
sus In 1890 gave n population OF g., ,62o,-
$50, or an Increase OF l2.500.n0o. The
ratio was 173,9ol people, to each rcpre-
sentative and the house numbered s56
members. The ratio under the new Gen.
sus probably will reach 100000. With
an Increase OF l3,225,464 shown by the
present census and letting majority
fractions OF the apportionment count
for an additional member as has been
the custom. this would make an in
crease OF eighteen members in the next
house. RcappOrtionment on this basis
would cause only four states to lose
representatives. They are Maine and
Virginia In the east and Kansas and
Nebraska In the west. These states
would loso one member each. Any
ratio smaller than 100000 which would
save them their full representation
would cause Il considerable addition to
the membership of the house.
