OPERATED ON FOR CANCER.
An Ambulance Driver I'm a Precari-
GUS Condition.

Walter Chapman. the colored ambulance
driver al the Emergency Hospital, and
who has served in various capacities at
that institution for the past eight years,
was this morning operated on for cancer
of the stomach. The operation was per-
formed by Dr. Vaughan, assisted by the
house staff and is the last resort TO
save the mans life. Chapman has been
a sufferer with cancer for about three
years and recently his condition became
such that it was decided that unless the
growth be removed death would ensue.
The physicians at the hospital stated this
morning that even the operation might
not avail. At late hour Chapman was
resting as quietly as could be expected.

 merators This Year.
 During the month of June, 1900, the farmers of this state will be visited by the census enumerators. The schedule of questions which the enumerator is obliged to ask is therefore promulgated by Census Supervisor Eddy to fore stall and obviate the difficulties that may arise between the questioner and the questioned.
 The leading questions are as follows: 1. Acreage of farms and tenure of the same.
 g. The quantities produced whether of grain, vegetables, fruits, plants or other crops
 8. The value of all products.
 A. Estimated value of all farm pro- ducts (sold consumed or on hand) for year 1899.
 5. Amount expended for fertilizers
 6. Amount expended for farm labor Exclusive of housework) including value of board furnished.

Took Place at .he Country Club Last
 Night.
 The New Haven Country club was the scene last night of one of the pret- tiest and one of the most successful subscription dances which has beon given by New Haven's social circle this season. The dance was given by Miss Whiting of 346 Whitney avenue The patronesses were Mrs Beers and Mrs. Bishop. Few places within the city are better adapted for such socials as Miss Writings than is the New Haven Coun- try club house. The large dance hall with it's ancient and unique furnishings, the old fashioned fire place with the proverbal Yule log ablaze, lighted by two artistic chandeliers. These com bined with the pretty costumes of the ladies went to make up a scene that was at once exquisite and beautiful. At 10:30 a fine collation. was served by Steward John c. Henderson of the club, after which dancing was again joined in and kept up with much spirit until l o'clock. The Country club orchestra, II. F. Glaissner leader, discoursed fine music. MT. Walker led the german. Among those present were:
 Mrs. George A. Beers, Mrs. Bishop, Miss Downer. Miss Morris, the Misses Beer Miss Whiting, Miss Wright, Miss Bradley, Miss Butler, Miss Van Name, Miss Hitchcock, Miss Seymour, Henry Galpin, MT.

His younger brother has married his cousin, a daughter of the late Due de Valencay, half-sister of the Prince de Sagan and widow of Prince Egon of Furstenberg. She lost very considerable doWry by her marriage, but remains wealthy. The marriage was on both sides one or love, though the bride was a good deal the senior I hear that the honey moon is likely to be perpetual. This Comtesse de Castellane, being grand daughter of the Marshal and hos wife, Rachel, inherited large share of the Greffuhle wealth.
 The Marquis de Castellane who sent the denial to the papers, was member of the Versailles assembly. He be- longed to the Royalist group known as the"Chevaux Legers.' or Light Horse. It cannot be said that he shone as a head of wit, but he was ever forward to attack Thiers and Gambetta. M. Camille Pelletan saw in his fresh con- plexion and curly hair resemblance to the German doll, and nicknamed him Bebe de Castellane. He was kept in leading strings by the Bishop of Or leans. The Wallon Constitution left him without political employment. His son seems to have his impulsive Light Horse intrepidfty, as shown by his money affairs and sundry letters to the papers.

THE CAUSE OF THE GRIP.

Of all the many theories about the origin and spread of influenza the latest is surely the most weird. Some eighteen or twenty years ago occurred the loud est noise ever heard on the earth in historic times. It was the effect of a violent volcanic disturbance in the Pa cific which converted the Dutch island of Krakatoa into fine dust floating in the higher atmosphere, and it is said that every Dutehman swelled with pride at the thought that his country was responsible for 60 distinguished a phenomenon. The fine sunsets produced several years afterwards by the absorb ent properties of the dust were matters of common observation. But the dust if we are to believe the influenza theory, has far more to answer for.7 In com mon with other kindred varieties, 1t af- fleets the breathing surfaces of sensi- tive people and irritates the eyes, throat, mouth and bronchial tubes in much

UNION LOSSES IN THE WAR.
Awful Destruction of Life in the Four
 Years, Contest

Awful Destruction of Life in the Four Years Contest.
 A reader who has kept track of the losses of the British in South Africa and the losses on our side in the Phil ippines asks about the losses of the Un-
 ion armies in the war for the Union.
 The total number of killed has been variously estimated. There were 2,262 distinct battles and engagements. We lost 73 Generals killed in action and 35 died of disease. The total number of Union officers killed was 6,365. The number of gunshot wounds treated in hospitals was 235,5S5. The number of gunshot wounded who died in hospitals was 33,653. The wounded who did not die immediately from the effect of wounds was 275,175.
 The total number of deaths were as follows, according to the best estimates that can be rnade-that is, deaths di- rectly during the war: Killed on the field or died of mortal wounds, 110,070; of disease, 199, 720 deaths from all other causes, 49,73S making total of 359,52S. It is now generally understood that this does not include all who died of disease, and that instead of 359,000, the aggre- gate would be close to 100000.
 Soon after the war the estimate of the number who died in prisons was very much below the actual number. Sub- sequently a corrected estimate was made, but even that was believed to be below the actual number
 It has often been stated that there was a very large percentage of the Union soldiers of foreign birth, but that is not true Seventy-fve per cent. were American born, g per cent. were Ger mans per cent. Irish, 21a per cent. British Americans, and 51a per cent. all other nations. Nearly one-half theAtotal were farmers, the actual number as re- ported being AS per cent.
 Reduced to a three years standard the number of troops credited to the different States and Territories during the war was 2,326, 169 of which, Ohio furnished 13,1SO, being outranked only by New York and Pennsylvanfa. At the time of the surrender of Lee there were over ,0O00 900 soldiers under arms andsready for duty.
 The most destructive battle was Get tysburg, where the Union lost 2,070 kill ed on the field, 14497 wounded and mortally wounded, and 5,434 reported missing. This battle lasted three days. In the Atlanta campaign, which con- tinued from May 21 to Aug 31, 1864, a period of three months, the number kill ed on the field was 4423, and the num- Der of wounded 22,S22, and 4,442 miss ing, some of whom died in the effort to escape and some were captured. In the battle at Spottsylvania and it's vi- cnity the number killed was 2725, and the number wounded was 13,466. This battle lasted from May s to May 21, 1864
 The heaviest loss reported by the Con- federates was in the seven days battle in Virginia in 1862. The losses admitted were BATS killed, 16,261 wounded, and S75 missing. The Confederate estimate at the time of the losses at Gettysburg were 2,712 killed, 12.S1S wounded, and z 465 missing and captured
 The combined losses at Gettysburg were 5,7S2 killed and 32,749 wounded (Ohio) Register.
