THE LONDON CENSUS.
DestitutiOn and OvercrOwding in
Many Quarters of the City.
(From the London Telegraph }

tfrom the London Telegraph)
There are grim problems connected
with the census. In Whitechapel, probably
the most congested district in the whole
of the metropolis, the numbering of the
people is no light task. In Whitechapel
are comprised, also, Spitalfields Mile End,
tillery Ground, and Norton Folgate-an
area OF 400 acres, with an estimated popu-
lation of 5000 Great cleerances have
been made huge model dwellings have
been erected, plague spots have been
eliminated, but, nevertheless, today in
SpitaItelds $50 persons are computed to
dwell upon every acre, and in Whitechapel
l90. The census viii show whether these
estimates are correct or below the mark.
In the midst of all this congestion the ap-
pointed enumerators are now leaving the
blue schedules and are entering all sorts
homes, the character of which can best be
guessed from the vivid descriptions of the
Rev w. H. Davies who declares:
From one OF my parochial buildings |
have seen through the thinly Veiled win
dow of 81 house four men and six women
retiring for the night In one room the rent
of which is Ss. a week-all of them respec-
table, Woodworking people, and the ma
floor"
Who would be the head of the house
hold to fill in the schedule in such a case?
There will be many of the kind for the
same local clergyman says:
i have had census taken of one or
two typical alleys and houses in Try par
ish. In one alley there are ten hcuf es-
fifty-one rooms nearly all about eight
feet by nine feet-and pa people. in six
instances only do two people occupy the
room, and In other rooms the Numbers
varied from three to nine. In another
court, with six houses and twenty two
rooms, were eighty four people again six
seven, eight, and nme being tie number
living in Ole room in several instances.
In one house with eight rooms are forty
five people, one room containing nine per-
sons, one eight, two seven, and another
six.
For these forty-fve people there is
one Office and in the case of nearly all
tenement houses the washing for the
family must be done by the aid of pail
which is put upon the stove and serves
for copper on washing days. There are
practically no ovens and such thing as
a homemade rice pudding is unknown
to the children. At one of our Christmas
teas about 200 poor children were assem-
bled. After tea, as they sat together, |
asked: How many of you live I'm a one
roomed home? Every hand but seven
went up. How many live in two
roomed home? Seven hands went up.
How many live in three rooms?' None.
How many of you live in a furnished
roomT All but twelve. SO that with the
exception of those twelve children all the
rest were practically homeless, the
Wretched contents of a furnished room
not being the property of the tenant, and
the rent Of Is. a day or more being paid
in the great majority Of cases, daily"

TRAVELS OF A DOG.
Journey From Minneapolis to Lon
don and Return.
From the Minneapolis Tribune. }


Morgan n. Swift of New York is at the
West Hotel Mr. Swift represents a
WholeSaie millinery house. He had an ex-
perience this morning that has been puz-
| the hotel over to Nicolet Avenue he
passed a lady who had with ner pn ex-
ceedlngiy good-looking fox terrier Mr.
SWlft s attention was attracted 10 the dog
because II closely resembled a pet terrier
owned by his wife, which was lost in New
York year ago. The harder Swift look
ed at the dog the more firmly conviction
was forced upon him that it was the same
dog.
In order to demonstrate the truth or
falsity of this theory. Swift turned around
ana Whistled in peculiar way. Jmmedi-
ateiy the terrier stopped, cooked it's ears
and looked al! about in an effort to locate
the whistler. Then the New Yorker called
Dido. Dido-here. Dido and the dog
ran to him. jumping about. and manifest
ing its great joy in an unmistakable man
ner.
The lady called her pet by another
name, but the dog refused to bulge from
swift heels. The situation was emhar-
RAISING. Swift approached the lady, and
bowing, enquired how long the terrier had
Deen IN her possession. She replied that
her husband had bought the dog in Lon
don about six months ago, bringing it
daughter
Swift was nonplused. There was no pos
sible question concerning the identity of
the dog but the person in whose company
he had found his pet was most evidently
a woman of position and refinement. In
fact, the present home of the terrier is
with one of the bestlknown families in
Minneapolis.
The lady handed Mr.. Swift her card and
told him that If he desired to discuss the
ownership of the animal he could do so
with her husband at the latters Office
Swift agreed TO this solution of the diff
Guilty, but both parties had reckoned with
out the terrier, which insisted upon fol-
lowing Swift and would not be ca ioled
into going step farther with the lady.
There was nothing for it. at last. but to
leave the terrier in Mr.. Swifts charge.
He agreed to cah on the supposed owner
and to take the terrier with him.
In discussing the adventure Mr.. Swift
said there was no doubt in his mind as to
how the dog had reached London. II had
strayed away in New York been picked
up by some tourist, and taken to London,
where it had. in all probability. been lost
again and thrown into the hands of the
dog dealers. He declares his readiness to
reimburse the innocent purchasers to the
extent of their expenditures and deter
to take the terrier back East
with him. The dog has been In kennels
for the last sixty days and was only
brought to Minneapolis this morning
