Jeremiah Falvey Knocked Down by
an Electric Car.

Jeremiah Falvey Knocked Down by
an Electric Car.
jeremiah Falvey, thirteen years old.
whose father, Chas. F. Foley, of JOG 9Th
street southeast, is employed in the bureau
of engraving and printing, was struck by
Capital Traction car at Sd street and
Pennsylvania avenue northwest about
11:3O o'clock Saturday night and was seri-
ously injured. He was unconscious when
the motorman and conductor went to his
assistance. A policeman was called upon
and he summoned the patrol wagon. The
injured boy was hurried to the Casualty
Hospital, where he was operated upon by
DR.. Wellington, a member of the visiting
staff. The surgeon found that the boy had
sustained compound fracture of the skull
as well as other injuries.
The fracture of the skull was a serious
one, and the victim regained consciousness
only after the operation had been perform
ed. While he rested fairly well under the
influence Of opiate last night his condi-
ton this morning was extremely critical.
For several days the boy has worked as
helper in a bakery, and Saturday night
he was on the streets until late hour.
Motorman Bramlett sounded his bell for
the Sd street crossing, and he repeated the
warning when the Falvey boy started in
the direction of the moving car. The lad
made an effort to cross the tracks directly
In front of the car, and it in this Way
that the accident happened.

A Census Query.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
l notice in your issue of July IL, Some
Census Facts" l would be pleased to be
permitted. through your valued columns,
to ask question or two in regard to the
alleged facts" l am firmly of the opinion
that so important an undertaking the
United States census should, without fear
or hypocritical attempt at evasion of the
truth, record facts to population as they
exist.
We have in our midst q large number of
people who are apparently wholly ignored
IN the recent enumeration Of our poDLla-
ton, as FAR as classification goes to show.
whether this ignoring is miserable at
tempt to hide the vice of the alleged
superior race in forcing social equality
with so-called inferior people, it may be
edlfying to Mr. Merriam to tell us. The
TACT Is that no figures are given as to those
persons in our midst who are Of white
parentage on the one side and of African
descent on the other. Facts In regard to
TINS part OF cur population may be very
interesting feature in the question of the
prescription and humiliation Of the colored
population that is attempting to crush out
or 1T the vitalizing aspirations that are en-
couraged IN other people. Today children
OF "hlte men and negro mothers in the
District of Columbia-and the figures in 1880
snow that they are many-are Inundated
and prescribed in the name of civilization.
ana apparently in obedience to the bar
barism that impels a man to forsake his
ch1idren the United States census attempts
TO hide the fact that 10 per cent Of the So
called negro element In this community is
white.
! desire to ask what has become Of the
17,9s9 mulattoes, 1,126 quadroons and 728
octoroons that We're reported as part Of
the colored population of the District Of
Columbia in 1880? Have they been lost or
stolen? Have they strayed or died? Have
they been credited to the white population
or are they put down as negroes? The CEN
sus OF 1880 admits that about 25 per cent
OF its African descendants in the popula-
ton Is largely OF white origin: In fact,
many, very many, more are of white de-
scent whose color gives to the super
nclai observer the idea of full Africans.
