he had become practically an in
valid. 1t is understood the remains
are to be inferred in New York.
There seems to be fatality

! other is reported Ill. The death

the founder of the system, who
died not quite year ago; J. T.
Mahl, chief engineer; J. b. Mulvey,
division superintendent of the At
lantic system; G. w. Bein, general
freight traffic manager; G.. A.
Quinlian, vice president and general
manager of the Houston and Texas
Central. and now L. J. Parks.
| Mr.. Parks was born In Louisiana
on the 18th of July, 1860 and his
boy hood was spent on Bayou Teche,
near Franklin. He began his career
as a railroad man as telegraph
operator for Morgan's Louisiana
and Texas Railway.
After three years In telegraph
office he was made clerk and steno-
grapher to the assistant manager of
the Atlantic system of the South
ern Pacific Railway. In January,
1888, he was made superintendent
of telegraph, and IN December Of
the next year he was appointed chief
clerk to the general superintendent.
In 1909 he was made assistant gen
eral passenger and ticket agent of
the Southern Pacific Railway. In
December of 1899 General Passen-
ger Traffic Manager Morse again
promoted him to the office of gen
eral passenger and ticket agent OF
the Atlantic system of the Southern
Pacific Railway, which office he &C
ceptably held to the day of his
death. On Feb. ~, 1898: Mr..

The Final Census Count.

Daily States.
The Census Bureau has sent out
advance sheets Of Its final report on
the population of the United States,
giving sex, general nativity, and
color. The report shows that the
males IN this country number
39,o59,242, and constitute 81 per
cent. of the total population in 1900,
while the females number 37,244,
I45, or ass per cent. There is a
slightly larger proportion Of females
now than ten years ago. All the
past census reports show a small
lead in the male population but the
large excess of 1900, 900 males in
the United States is attributed to
the excess of male immigration.
There are, or were in June, 1900,
in the United States IS, S43, goa
native born persons, and Io,46o,
oS5 foreign born, the latter element
constituting 1877 per cent of the
total, 1913 per cent ten years ago.
The foreign born show an absolute
increase during the decade Of
1,151,994, while the native born
have increased in ten years 12,o31,
6S7.
AS to color and race, there are
o,312,5S5 colored persons In the
country, of whom $3.50, 7S9 are
negroes. There are two million
more foreigners than negroes. The
Indians are set down at 200, 100,
the Chinese at 10, $50, the Japanese
at S5,oS6. The Chinese and In
dams show slight decrease since
18oo-the Chinese of per cent
and the Indians of per cent. The
negroes have increased during the
last ten years 1,S52,ooo, or IS. I per
cent. while the white increase has
been 11,S24,6 or FL per cent.
but it should be remembered that
the negro increase is by birth, while
the white increase is largely aided
by migration.
Of the total white population
56,74o,73o are native whites, con-
stituting 1874 of the total popula-
ton 56,74o, are native whites,
constituting 1874 of the total popu-
lation. Native white persons are in
turn subdivided into 41,o53,4I7 Of
native parentage and IS, oS7, S22 Of
foreign parentagc, constituting, re-
spectively, 53.S per cent. and 20. 6
per cent. of the population.
The native white element has in
creased relatively twice as fast as

TIE AMERICAN oIRL ABROAD.

The girl who is planning trip abroad

very sensible article i'll the Woman

the writer, Charlotte Bird, says
The quiet, well-bred American girl
leads an transformations life abroad, just
as she does at home. She seeks no kind
of notOriety and is not generally OBJ
served consequently she excites no com
ment; or, If she is noticed. she is ranked
among the exceptions. But the loud
girl attracts attention at once, and her
pecu1arltles are noted and set down by
Europeans as American. Mortifying to
our national pride as the fact may be,
not all Americans abroad are refined. and
they are always the ones who attract
the most attention. We may complain
of the injustice of it. bur Europeans nat

The American girl at home is accus-
toned to as much freedom as her great

OF the restrictions to which the girl OF
continental Europe is subjected. When
the American girl first goes to Europe
she may be inclined to rebel at these liIni-
tations as something altogether foolish.
However, Europeans are somewhat char.
itably disposed toward u.s. Besides, they
are never unmindful of the fact that
Americans pay well. They may even
profess to admire the courage, as they
call it, which prompts American girls to

DO MEN UNDERSTAND WOMEN?

A man can very seldom tell what is
passing i'll Il wOman's mind He talk.
with another man and he can follow his
processes; he gets his point of view; he
can read between the lines: he can make
a shrewd guess as to how he came to say
that or why he refrained from saving the
other, says the Waterman.
But Il woman mental processes are
not those of Il man. Her mental ma
chinery is geared differently You hear
what she tells you. You can make infer
enccS from it: they will be wrong, bc-
cause you do not know how she came To
say what she did: you do not have the
clue. Try to guess what she will say
next, and you will find that you are MI
at sea.
The man who says that he understands
woman is himself Il woman. No man
can understand a woman. He may love
her. There may exist between his soul
and hers that indefinahle and celestial
sympathy which is the sweetest thing ON
earth; but he does not understand her.
Her mental operation her ways of
thought. her point of view, will always
be as inscrutahle to him ITS the mental
processes of an angel. Whether WON,
en- understand each other is not quite
certain. A greater part of the delight
that men find in the eompanionship of
women arises from their mscrutabilitv.
You cannot measure or exhaust them.
Their charming inconSequence, as they
seem to you, will never cease to puzzle
you, and every fresh conversation reveals
a novelty of attitude or opinion.

HER INFLUENCE.

1t is in the maternal relation that
woman rises to the sublime heights of
remuneration; still men often owe much
to their wives. Nathaniel Hawthorne
might never have written The Scarlet
Letter" had it not been for his wife. The
story is told that when the future novel
list came home one evening depressed and
discouraged with the tidings that he had
lost his position in the custom house and
knew not where to turn for employment,
his wife showed him a little pile of gold
that she had saved. and told him it was
sufficient to serve their present wants,
and babe him sit down and write that
book about which he had been talking so
long. The world knows the result.
