Only the immediate relatives of the
contracting parties were in attendance.
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. John /. Wilson, of the First NJ. E.
church. Immediately after the ceremo-
ny the pair was driven to Canton where
they took a train for Cleveland; thence
they will go to Detroit and Mt. Glenn
ems, where they will remain several
weeks. They will then return to this
city where they will reside.
The announcement of the wedding
came as complete surprise to the
friends Of the well-known pair and con-
gratulations will be poured upon both
on their return to their home.

of the celebrated Melvin Bros, who

The records show that at a meeting

| James w. Lathrop was president of this
meeting and Samuel Pennewell was re-

for property owners who do not remove

the countries of the old world. The fig-
ures fthe immigration bureau for this
period are 3,694,294. During the preced-
ing ten years they reached over 5000, 200,
which, however, was an extraordinary
heavy record.
1t Is expected that one of the most
interesting results of the census will
show not only good rate OF increase
Of population, but great advances in
manufacturing interests in the south
ern states. Judged by the tide of for
eign immigration to the various sections
OF the country, the following states will
show the greatest per cent Of increase:
New York, Massachusetts, Pennsyl-
vania, Illinois, New Jersey, Arkansas,
Colorado, Georgia, Louisiana, Wisconsin
and Idaho.
The southern states will also show an
increase from the number OF people at
tracted from other sections by the
growth in mercantile and agricultural
interests. The population of the west
ern states will also show the usual ad-
vance as the result of the westward
trend of travel.
About 30 per cent of the immigrants
settle in New York state and the great
majority seek the larger cities of the
country In preference TO the rural dis
tricts.
Another interesting question about
which there has been considerable dis
| cusion by sociologists, and upon which
it is hoped the present census will throw
considerable light, is whether or not
the negro race in this country is declin-
ing. All estimates agree that while the
negroes have increased in number to the
extent probably of a million since 1890,
their per cent to the total population
has decreased. This decline has been
very pronounced since the first settle
ment of the country. The following
table shows the relative per cent OF
white and negro population since 1870:

FUNERAL SERVICES
Held Over the Remains of the
Late David POwer---WaS
Well Known.
Special to News. Dem ocra,.


Massillon, June 1S.-St. Joseph's s
Catholic church was well filled this
morning when the last sad rites were
observed over the remains of the late
David Power, who was found dying in
his bed Friday morning. Death came
suddenly and almost without warning.
Mr.. Power was a big-hearted, generous
man, and he was known from one end
of the town to the other. The news of
his untimely end spread rapidly and
there was general feeling that good
citizen had been called away too soon
from life's work. Rev. J. f. Koebler
conducted the funeral services and
spoke briefly on the many good qualities
of the deceased in life. Miss Florence
Wielandt, Of Canton, sang beautiful
solo and conducted the music of the
choir. The remains were inferred in
st. Joseph's cemetery.

LABOR DAY OUTING.
Trades and Labor Assembly
Make Arrangements For
That Day.
Special to News-Democrat.

Massillon, June 1S.-Massillon Is noted
for it's splendid labor organizations.
Nearly every branch of industry is rep
resented in the trades and labor as
sembly and the meetings of that body
are always productive of good to the
working classes of the city. There, is
only one day in the year when these
hardy sons of toll are given absolute
freedom to while away the hours just
as they please, and that is on Labor
Day. There has been little ill-advised
controversy going on in this city in re-
gard to what the laborer should quench
his thirst with on this day of days. A
young man, who is said never to have
affected the blue ribbon, broke forth in
a local periodical with a torrent of syl-
tables against the use of certain bev-
erages which many of the hard work.
ingmen of the city say they enjoy and
derive benefit from. The majority OF
these men, it seems, do not believe that
any damage will be done If they are
permitted to have something besides
water at the Labor Day celebration
and this particular young man, in al
probability, will not prevent members
of the Trades assembly from enjoying
themselves in the honest, orderly way
they have done on previous occasions
The committee appointed at the re-
cent meeting of the assembly to make
arrangements for the annual outing
met in the assembly hall Sunday morn
ing. The committee organized b,
electing Peter Smith president, N. p
Mair, secretary, John ]. Jenkins, treas
urer. N. P. Mair was appointed {
committee on program. E. ]. CreedoI

picnic. John r. Jenkins, Charles Ev
ans and Gust Pahlau will look after tn
printing, and William Dutton, Gus
Heiser and E. j. Creedon will be tn

The committee on grounds have con
sidered several places, but no conclusio
has been reached. Massillon is unfor
tunate in having no particularly at
tractive grounds for the holding of out
door functions. However, the Labor
Day picnic will be an enjoyable affai
under any circumstances.

Men who have made careful study
of the statistics of the country predict
that the twelfth census, now In pro-
gress, will show that the population OF
the United States has passed the
seventy-five million mark.
An expert mathematician has made
a special calculation for the Sunday
journal, based on the census returns
already received, of the total number
of men, women, boys. girls and
babies now in the United States.

figures at a glance:
