Senator Deboe Yesterday.

Post Office Deparimen;
Here.
OTHER BILLS BY SENATOR OtsOt

Senator Deboe has introduced in
congress q bill for charging the gov
eminent building in Paducah. No de-
tails OF the measure are gwen in the
reports from Washington, and nothing
is known OF il here.
IL is probable, however, that the in
spector who was here from Washing.
ton recently recommended IL, and the
bill may DO based on those recommen-
dations
The only room needed at the gov
eminent building IL for the postofiice,
which is very badly crowded. II the
building were enlarged the extension
would in all probability be on the
western side. and bo for the benefit Of
the post ifi,e.
The inspector. when recently here,
conourred in the recommendations OF
Postmaster Fisher for q remodeling Of
the Postofiioe interior, moving the pri'
vAte mail boxes TO the northeast cor
nor. and having the stamp and NOR '
order department near the vault, on
,ne southwestern part Of tho building.
These changes would cost about s5,-
600.
II the building is enlarged IL will
be a great improvement, and one that
will cost considerable. Both improve
menis would probably be made at the
same time.

BROOKLYN GROWING FAST.
Census Shows That It's Population is
Catching Up to Manhattan.

New York SUM
Table 10 of census bulletin 90 shows
the growth of New York City's popu-
lation, and brings forcibly to notice the
growth, Manhattan island is sure
enough slow place when compared 10
the lively and progressive Brooklyn.
By the census of 1890 there were eight
inhabitants of Manhattan island to
each one of Brooklyn. In the next ten
years New York increased nearly 100
per cent, and after that until 1880 New
York grew the faster Of the two.
In 1880 there were 202. 000 inhabitants
on Manhattan island and 10000 only ii
Brooklyn-ten to one. In the next de e
cade New York increased SO per cent;
Brooklyn increased 10e. Between 1910
and 1850 New York nearly doubled in
population, Brooklyn more than ire
hled
BY 1860 New York was up to 0,000
four times more than in 1880. while
Brooklyn was up to 100000. ten times
more than 1t was thirty years before.
During the next decade. including the
civil war. New York gained 10000 in
habitants; Brooklyn gained 100000 In
1850 New York passed the 100000
mark Brooklyn a fraction short of
SOC 000
BY the last census Manhattan had l.
S5c coo and Brooklyn 1.166.000. and at
the present ratio of growth, which has
been continuous in both boroughs since
1889. 1t IS merely a question of time
when Brooklyn viii be the more pOpu-
loua borough of the two.
The area Of Manhattan is 1900 acres
and Of Brooklyn 80 GOO. or three times
