NEVADA, THE ONE EXCEPTION.

Nevada is the one state in the union
of all the states and territories which
has lost in population since 1890. The
decrease has amounted to 1926.
Nevada has IA counties. Notwith-
standing the fact that the state as a
whole went backward Z of these coun-
ties have larger population now than
10 years ago. Douglas county came
came within II Ga decrease) of stand
ing still.
Washoe county is the banner county
of the state, having increased in popu-
iation from 6,437 to 9, 141 in the past 10
years. In 1890 Storey county led, with
8,S06 inha bitants. 1t has now a popula-
tion of 3,673, a decrease for the decade
of 5,133.
Churchill county has the least popula-
ton. 1t mum bers now $50 people. This,
however. is an increase since 1890 OF
1877 people. In that year it had pop
ulation of 703.
1t is to be remembered that in spite
or Nevadas losses since 1890, the state
still has more than six times as large a
population as that given in its first
census.

Religious Ecstasy.

Some time ago l was engaged in hold
ing a series of revival meetings. Among
the attendants were some good people
of the free Methodist persuasion who
took part in the meeting. and who were
sometimes called on to pray, which
they seemed delighted to 90. As the
meeting progressed they became very
much elated, especially lady who
sometimes delighted to shout. One
evening a deep solemnity pervaded the
house. and this particular lady betook
herself to prayer. All went well till,
carried away by her JOY. she praised the
Lord she would be at the marriage sup
per of the Lamb, and, losing control of
herself. said "Praise His name, | can
hear the dishes rafting now! 1t is
needless to add that the solemnity OF
the meeting was broken for that even

his friends.
The newspapers had nothing to
say in CIancy's favor, though they re-
ported in detail many of his exploits,
and broadly intimated that the time
had been when he was more often
in jail than out. Clancy lacked the
courage to rebut the intimation of
having accepted county hospitality,
but contented himself with the crisp
reJolnder: ut amt phwat Oh used
ter be, it's phwat OF be terday!"
For three days and nights imme-
diately preceding election, he kept
his admirers busy in the effort to
follow his pace. He hired tallyho-
and-six and as discordant a band as
ever made night hideous, and they
paraded every street in the Twenty
third. The saloons were the scenes
of impromptu vaudeville, as it soon
became apparent that pigeon wings
elected much more enthusiasm than
maudlin speeches. Clancy danced the
top of beer barrel in but it was
"all in a lifetime" with him. lie
gave an exhibition of aerial work in
the attempt to walk the railing OF
the Tiernan street bridge. His walk

up for it.
The night before election, patriot
ic sentiment was at high tide. 1t
surged up and down the ward as
never before. The "Billy Goat" was
at times inundated. Clancy stood at
the bar nobly to the last. For three
days and nights his head had never

He swayed somewhat, to be sure, as
he stood there, but the movement
was Ike that of some tempest tried
sycamore. Again and again he
drank, and his confreres began to
think that he was sustained by
supernatural power. At IL o'clock
new relay took the places of the old
guard, and by the time the clock
struck two their line was also
decimated. At three o'clock a tremor
shook Clancy's frame. He was seen
to sink, slowly, majestically beside
the bar. The grand old man-Clancy,
the mighty-was showed under. He
realized that kindly hands were there
to aid,
Then indistinctly, as though
through some confusing mist, he
thought he saw his landlord ap-

THE 13 ORIGINAL STATES.

In 1890 the various states in rank
of population were as follows: O Vir-
ginia, (2) Pennsylvania, (3) North Car
olina, (4) Massachusetts, (5) New
York, (6) Maryland, ~ South Caro-
lima, (S) Connecticut, (9) New Jersey,
Qo) New Hampshire. (11) Georgia, (12)
Rhode Island and (13) Delaware.
The order in rank of these states has
considerably changed since the first
census, being now as follows: ()
New York, (2) Pennsylvania, (3) Mas
sachusetts, (1 Georgia, (5) North Car
olina. (6) New Jersey, (7) Virginia, (8)
South Carolina, (9) Maryland, (10) Con-
necticut, QD Rhode Island, (12) New
Hampshire and (13) Delaware.
Pennsylvania and Delaware are the
only ones among the original states
at the present time holding the same
relative rank in population as in 1870.
Pennsylvania is the only one holding
the same absolute position, being I'd
now as in 1890. Delaware is now 46th
in rank among the present states and
territories.
In 1890 Virginia was first among the
states, and New York 5th. New York
is now first and Virginia is 18th among
the original states and 18th among all
the states and territories of the union.
Georgia has made the most notable
leap among the original states in the
matter of rank, being 18th in 1870, and
4th now among the original states.
Another notable fact in this same con-
nection is that in 1890 the population
of the territory now embraced in the
state of Maine and the population of
what is now Vermont, in each case eX-
ceeded in number the population of
Georgia. Georgia is still 18th in the
column of states, as in 1890, and Maine
has been relegated to 30th place and
Vermont to 10th. Still another notable
fact is the rate of Georgia's growth
in the past 10 years as compared with
the rate of growth of the other states.
Georgia's present population is just
under 81 times what it was in 1890.
The nearest approach to this among
the 13 states is in the case of New York,
whose population is about 21 times
what it was when the first national
census was taken.

HOW STATES HAVE GROWN.

The population of Michigan is more
than sos times as large as that given
for 1910, the date of the first census
taken in that territory.
Indiana holds second place in the
matter of phenomenal increase in pop
ulation between the taking of the first
and of the last census. The inhab-
446 times what the returns gave in
1900.
Illinois is third in this classification
of the states, its population now num-
bering over 392 times what it did in
1916. The close proximity of these
three states is worthy of note, as also is
their almost simultaneous settlement.
Minnesota comes fourth in such a
classification of the states, but her rec
ord is really as wonderful as that of
Michigan. for it is to be considered
that her first census was taken as late
ly as 1850, at which time Michigan's
population was 397 ,654, and Minnesota's
only 6.O77. Minnesota now has a pop
ulation exceeding 28S times the latter
figure.
Mississippi has multiplied its popu-
lation 175 times within the century
just closed. The two Dakotas come
along each having at the present time
a. population nearly 15O times as large
as at the first census taken in those
localities. The Dakotas' increase is
really larger, however, than Missouri's,
because the comparisons are made
with Missouri's census of 1910 and that
of the Dakotas in 1860. Ohio has a
population 91h times greater than she
had a century ago, and Arkansas fig
ures show a population now 80 times
greater than in 1890
The Winslow mail., 1901-05-02
CLASSIFICATION OF STATES.

Only one state has over 100000
nhabitants-New York.
Pennsylvania is alone in the class
between 100000 and 100000.
No state comes within the classifca-
tion numbering between 100000 and
100000. Illinois comes nearest, lack
ing less than 100000 to have this dis
tinction.
Two states, Illinois and Ohio, have
between 100000 and 100000 inhab-
itants. Illinois took the lead from
Ohio in the census of 1890. In 1880 the
positions were exactly reversed, though
neither state at that time had anywhere
near 100000 people.
Texas and Missouri are the two
states which number between 100000
and 1000, 900. Missouri had better look
out for her laurels. Texas has during
the past decade leaped to within 10000
of as large a population. These two
states are showing a remarkably rapid
growth.
There are states which have fig
ure place in the million column. Mas
sachusetts leads with 2,S05,346. Then
come in order of their rank Indiana,
Michigan, Iowa, Georgia, Kentucky,
Wisconsin and Tennessee. The close
race of Georgia and Iowa is to be noted.
In the last census they held the same
relative position, but then Iowa had
a lead of 74,543; now her lead is but
1882.
1t is a. peculiar fact that there are
as many states having the figure / in
the million column as there were origi-
nal states. The two states that head
the list of these 13 are North Carolina
and New Jersey, and they are making
a close race for precedence. North
Carolina. led in the census of 1890 by
margin of 1904 Now her lead is only
10,141.
There are Is states, all the territories
co. and the District of Columbia-25
in all-which have population of less
than 100000. Of these, and indeed
of all the states. Oregon and New
Hampshire are the nearest to tie, the
former having the lead by less than
1000, the actual difference being l.
95S. The District of Columbia has
lead over the state of Utah of scarce
ly more, 1860 being needed by the lat
ter to make a tie. 1t is to be noted
that four of the 13 original states are
within the number having population
of less than 100000. These states
are Connecticut, Rhode Island, New
Hampshire and Delaware. Vermont,
the first state to be admitted after the
orga nization of the union, is also in this
list.

Practical Denomination.

A Scotchman went to London for a

on the sign board shook his head
ominously, he paid the money over
and waved his hand contemptuously
at the proffered receipt. The cloc.<
stopped short and the whisky bottle,
filling itself full of corks, clamb cred
in numbering manner off from the
bar, gazed reproachfully at Clancy,
then got back on the ice, repeating
the while in gurgling, clucking tones
"Wouldn't that jar you? Well,
wouldn't it jar you?' Clancy hung
his head for very shame and
mighty shout rent the air. He saw
himself degraded to the lowest pos
sible level in popular esteem. Friepds
were turned to foes and landlords,
in the guise of tickey-tailed yellow
dogs, were swapping at his shins. He
hadn't a friend in the world.
The next day but one. he awole.
By his side stood O'Flaherty.
''Yez losht, me by, yez losht; but

ide OWL.

I dwell apart in the ivy-green
That mantles the old church tower,
! and my mate, mid the dismal scene
In cur man-forsaken bower.
We pay no h<ed to the clock that knells
The Gwindlins and growing hour;
But when twilight reddens the autumn sky
The desolate fields We scour.
Away by the sleeping village
That lies on the wooded hill,
The lonely farms We pillase,
And the shadowy stackyards still.
We fit DER the ripping river,
Turned gold by the low-hung moon;
But the night soon goes, and the daylight
Cawns
Too soon-oh, alas! too soon.
Then away full speed to our eerie lair
By the tombs and the dark-leaved yew,
AS the lark's first carol thrills the air
Ard the land is bathed in dew;
To sleep through the glaring sunshine,
And drowsily blink our eyes,
Fill another long day is dying,
And the mists begin to rise.
