CENSUS OFFICE CHANGES
OVER SIX HUNDRED HAVE ALREADY
BEEN MADEs
All Have Been Based on the Amount
of Work Done and the
Record Made.

Promotions are the chief subject OF inter
est at the census bureau among the thou
sands Of employees now working there.
When Director Merriam took charge of the
census work he made up his mind that he
would establish a system Of promotion
that would be based on merit and thereby
not only secure efficient service, but get
rid at the same time Of opportunities from
numerous sources for the promotion OF
clerks and others. This system has gone
Into effect, and since August / col promo
tiOns have been made In the office. The
fact of these promotions has acted like
wildfire In its effect. Every clerk knows
that SO or more per month may be secur-
ed If the record warrants 1t. and all are
working for the prizes. Not only is there
system Of promotion according TO the
amount Of work done, but in case a clerk
makes a record 10 secure an increase of
salary and fails TO maintain 1t he or she
IS to be denoted to the class from which
they came.

cannot be the least question about the
record, for it is based on the number of
cards punched. clerk at $50 per month
must punch at least 100 cards per hour
in order to continue in the office that
making 6J0 cards per day for six and a
half hours work If they punch 100 cards
an hour they are to get $50 month, and
If they reach 40 an hour they get SIS
which Is the maximum salary paid for that
class of work. OF course accuracy must
be maintained with this record.
In the case of clerks doing other work re-
ports are made by the chiefs having direct
supervision OF their work on their general
efficiency, and the amount of work per-
formed by them and their promotion is
made according to this record. Every two
weeks the records will be consulted and a
readjustment of salaries will be made ac-
oordingly. Clerks now striving in order
TO make q record which will give them
promotions on the 18th instant. 1t is not
believed that clerks who have been pro-
NOTED VIII fall to maintain the average
work they have done, as the longer they
are al work the greater will be their IA
cility. The col promotions made in the bu-
reau as a result of work performed In the
last two weeks of July were divided among
the following divisions:
Population 46e: agriculture, 20: manufac-
turing, %; vital statistics 13; office of dis
burs'ng clerk, 49, printing. 8; office OF chief
clerk, 1: division of methods and results 1.
Advantage of the System.
This system has greatly relieved Director
Merriam from pressure from influential
quarters. Whenever any one sees him
with request that those In whom they are
interested be promoted he tells the caller

Rev. c. F. Woodcock's Health Restored
 Conditions on lne Island.
 Rev. Charles E Woodcock rector of Christ Church, Ansonia, formerly of New Haven, arrived home from his Cuban trip, Saturday, and conducted services Sunday. During the trip he increased in weight eighteen pounds He says that he is now entirely we'll and will enter on the work of the Lenten season will all his old-time vigor. Be- fore leaving he had suffered from an attack of grip that left him very weak.
 MT. Woodcock reports conditions in Cuba as anything but cheerful Trou- ble is brewing constantly and he was told by army officers that they should not be surprised should an outbreak occur within year. The unsettled fu- ture of the country is at the bottom of the discontent. While the entire Spanish population and the better class of Cubans wish annexation to the Unit ed States, there is an element consist ing of the lower class, idlers, eX-sol- diers, politicians, etc., who oppose it and threaten revolt at any time. While some marked Improvements have been made in the way of schools and sani- tary systems, many of the old Spanish methods of rule still remain, the ad- of justice, for example, be- ing open to the severest censure.

l
 ofNew York City--A Large Audience.
 Dr. A. F. Schauffler of New York was
 the speaker at the Y. M C. A. mass
 meeting ill the Grand opera house yes-
 terday afternoon. A large audience
 was present, many ladies taking ad-
 vantage of the opportunity to hear this 1 noted speaker.
 | Rev A. F, Irvine in presenting the | speaker said: q have great pleasure in l introducing to you Dr. Schauffler this afternoon for many reasons, which I
 will not take time to enumerate, merely
 stating that a great many years ago he found me in book publishing house in New York and laid his hand upon
 me and pushed me into preaching the
 gospel and ever since that has been to me two things, two indispensables to a minister-a good father and a theolog-
 ical seminary" Dr. Schauff1er after
 alluding pleasantly to MT. Irvine's in-
 troduction Dr. Schauf1ler spoke from
 the words of David: There go the
 ships, His address was made up prin
 cipally of comparisons, between ships and men, and during the thirty min
 utes he spoke held the closest attention of the audience. He. spoke partly as fol-
 lows: Men, like ships, are made to go. great many years ago when the Great Eastern was launched she got stuck on the ways and was subject of ridcule to the bystanders. So a man who has been placed on this earth for a purpose, and who has no go in him is a subject of ridicule also. Some men are born tired, live tired and die tired | Then ship, if it amounts to anything | has cargo. You, too, young man, have | cargo--a cargo of appetite, of pas | sions and of lusts. Have you got them l under control? Nothing pleases me | more than to get behind a pair of fast | horses for drive, but always with this | consideration-that they be under per- feet control. Any man can drive an old spavined knocked -kneed, broken l winded nag, but when you have horse full of life going his three minute gait | you need mastery to be safe. I like to see a young man going along in full and appetite if he is under control. A very essential thing is You say what is mans com pass? I answer, Consciencei I have talked with a great many men and of different nationalities but never found one who did not have a conscience.
 There is one more point of similar ity between ship and man. A ship must have a captain. An, you say: T want to paddle my own canoe. The devil will let you paddle all you want to if you will let him do the steering. Many man is padding for all he is worth, yet is being wrecked upon the rocks of sin because some sa Eanic agency is doing the steering"
