GROWTH OF NEGRO POPU.

o. sc :lunt of waite i'm nigra-

uiatlon in the country Is steadily
decreasing. 10 1889 the negroes
we're Is 10 per can5 of the total
oumoer. The percentage was
16 "a 10 1910; Is SO in 1880; IA ID
in 1867; IL. So in 1870; l3 13 in
1880; II 90 in 1890, and II. So in
1900. The census Of 1880 ii no.

duo. Ever SINE 1910 the per-
c4uyage Of blacks in the entire
country has been steadily lessen
ing It will no doubt go lower
still.
All but four States show in
the census of last year lessened
percentages of blacks, and these
four States are Alabama, Arkan-
sas, Missouri and Florida.
Louisiana until right recently
contained a maj ority of the
blacks, but the incoming of Ital-
ians and Greeks has given the
whites a majority. Dat of 49,
496 migrants who were landed
as New York in the last fsca

Italy. where the Climate is like
NorthCarolina's.T There is 40 rea-
son why thousands aud even tens
of thousands of Italians from the
neighborhoOd of Naples cannot
be induced to come here and buy
small farms, and do we'll for
themselves and for the State. We
need this kind Of immigration in
order to keep the black percent
age down, and the subject should
mand careful attention in the
next session of the legislature.

presidents of the union, and by Mr.. Pick
ems. president of the District c. E. Union,
and who is a member of that society. A
large number of guests were present, in
cuding many prominent workers in the

mass meeting in Washington January 10,
under the auspices of the District Union.
The place and other details will be an
nounced later. DR.. Chapman is a favorite
speaker with Christian Endeavor audiences,
and his addresses and quiet hour ser
vices have been prominent features of the
great conventions of recent years.

be postponed one week, from the I'd to the
9th, on account of the opening lecture OF
the Y. NJ. c. A. course, which will be given

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN.
Police Sergeant Hess Retfres After
Thfrty-Five Years of Service

Thfrty-Eive Years of Service
sergt George A. Hess of the Georgetown
station has been retired from the force at
his own request. The order of the retire
ment will go into effect December /. and
until that time leave of absence has been
granted the officer. His separation from
the force will be regretted by many resi-
dents of this section, who. during his long
service, became intimately acquainted with
him and held him in high esteem.
For thirty-five years Sergt. Hess has
served on the pay roll of the department,
and all but one of these years was spent
in Georgetown. For a long term he has
been mounted sergeant in the county. pa
trolling the entire territory west of Rock
Creek and north to the District line With
in year ago Sergt. S. J. Harry was as
signed to assist Sergt. Hess In the same
territory. the latter for considerable time
being the senior officer in charge of the
seventh police station in the absence of
Lieut.. John Swindells.
Several weeks ago Sergt. Hess made an
application for retirement, and about
week ago the retiring board met and con-
sidered his application. His request was
granted, as was also the leave asked for.
During the thirty-five years of his service
Sergt. Hess has kept clear of the trial
board, and his record as an officer Is one

The drills of the mounted police of the
county have practically closed for the win
ter season. Owing to the cold weather and
the brisk exercises which the horses are
put through during the course Of the drill,
1t was deemed expedient to discontinue the
same. Sergt. S. J. Harry, an old cavalry
| man, who was the drill master, will re-
sumo his tactics early in the spring.
Improvements in the county building line
are still being made despite the lateness of
the season. A. Gillian will erect o two
story attic frame dwelling in Cleveland
Park, the cost of which will be $3.50. -
DR.. Louis W. Engster Is to build two
story frame dwelling at the corner of MIL
waukee street and Wisconsin avenue. the
estimated cost of which will be $4,000. Mau-
rice p. Finley has taken out a permit to
make repairs to his dwelling on the Fox

THE SHOPLIFTERS.
Precautions Already Taken to Protect
stores During Holiday Season.

Although Christmas is a little more than
a month off some of the stores are begin
ming to have holiday appearance, and the
number Of shoppers is said to be consid-
erably In excess Of the quota of the ordi-
nary season. Because of the extra amount
Of work required to serve the customers
additional clerks are employed, and in some
of the stores experienced detectives are
being employed to protect the stock from
the work Of shopifters and petty thieves
who are disposed to help themselves to the
Chistmas stock. Mai Sylvester finds it
impracticabfe to detail officers In the stores,
for the reason that he has not enough men
for ordinary street duty, but the members
of the regular detective corps, as well as
the precinct detectives are instructed to
protect the merchants to the extent of their
resources. The race track is claiming the
attention of a number of detectives, who
not only have to visit the track, but are
required to protect the crowded street cars
on the line leading to the track. When the
races are over the detectives will have
more time to look after the stores and the
shoppers.
Pickpockets frequently take advantage
of the crowded stores and streets during
the holidays, and the police say shoppers
cannot exercise too much care in the man.

women are employed as detectives, and it
is understood they render excellent service

Quoting the perpetrators to the office to be
deprived of their plunder, and perhaps to

many cases where dishonest persons are
detected they are not given in charge of

offender is certain to be locked ,lp

Comparison With Former Years
study of Monetary
Conditions.

The movement of money from eastern
centers into Minneapolis has increased
during the week, and shipments Of cur
rency have been especially large during
the past few days. One local bank has
received about 100000 daily since Tues
day.
1t has been the belief in financial circles
everywhere that the northwest would need
little money this year to move the crops,
as conditions in general are good and there
is an abundance of money in the country
banks. Undoubtedly the total amount of
eastern money required will be small
compared with past years. Nevertheless
the movement at this time is we'll up to
the usual volume.
Grain men have been checking out of
local banks rather freely against New
York drafts, and the selling rate of New
York exchange is quoted at $1.00 discount
or lower than for year.
There is demand in New York for good
grain paper, and some very large borrow
ers on this collateral have sent their pa
per to that city within the past few days,
taking exchange for their loans and sell
ing this exchange to the local banks. Or
dinarily New York exchange should sell
here at par, but free offerings have low
