Archbishop Of Naples, requesting that
a trustworthy priest be sent to hear
his confession. y priest was sent. but
absOlution was refused unless Hum
bert would agree to abdicate and give
up Rome. The King asked time to
consider. as he was anxious to receive
the sacrament, and according to the
clerical version, it was his communica-

See to grant Christian burial

THE POPULATION
OF DENVER

Washington. Aug 2S.-The Twelfth
census population of Denver is 1850
In 1890 the population was 1Oi,I13
showing an increase of 25.44 per cent
In 1880 the population was 35,629. The
increase from 1880 to 1890 was I1,OS4
or 1881 per cent.
The population by wards is: First L.
6SS; Second, 5,915; Third. S,O2l !;
Fourth, 9.3O4; Fifth, 6.954; Sixth, 12.-
249; Seventh. 1921; Eighth. 1O,4O2:

1880; Twelfth. 1875: Thirteenth. g.
1854; Fourteenth, 2.4S5; Fifteenth, 6,921 :;
Sixteenth, 6.692.
In these ten years four suburbs have

their population, as given III the census
of 1890 are; Highlands, 5,161: South
Denver, 1,491; Barnum and Harman,
less than 1000 population. Estimating
the combined population of Barnum
and Harman in 1890 at 1.IOO this
would make the combined population
of Denver and these suburbs. 114.I15
in 1890 AS these suburbs are now in
cluded in Denver. the increase in the
territory covered by them and by the
town is actually. 19.OS4. This. how

POPULISTS INDORSE
ADLAI STEVENSON

Chicago, Aug. 27.-The Peoples par
ty national committee to-day accepted
the declination of Charles A. Towne as
the vice presidential nominee of the
party, and Adlai e. Stevenson was put
in his place. This result was obtained
after a long debate.
Senator Butler. chairman of the com
mittee. in a warm speech of some
length, advocated leaving the place
blank, contending that Bryan and
Stevenson would receive more Populist
votes than if a candidate for vice pres-
dent was named.
But one test vote was taken, and
that on a motion that a POpulist be
placed upon the ticket. 1t was lost by
"a ayes to II nays. The Stevenson
motion was then adopted by a viva

Professor Van Sickle's salary.

Baltimore, Md, Aug. 27.-Suit was
instituted here to-day to restrain the
city from paying the salary of James
FL. Van Sickle, the new superintendent
of public instruction, who was former
ly at the head of the North Denver
school system. The bill was filed by
DR.. A. B. Lyman as a citizen and tax
payer. he claiming Professor Van
Siclllcs appointment was contrary to
that section of the state law requiring
all municipal officials to be residents
and registered voters of Baltimore.
The suit is not regarded with apprc-
hension and will not affect Mr.. Van
Sickle the legality of whose appoint
ment is recognized by the mayor, city
comptroller and board of school com
missioners. The suit is a mere Sensa-
ton. Professor Van Sickle is giving
great satisfaction here.
