GERMANY's POPULATION

BERLIN, Dec. 1.-THE growth OF
the population of Germany in 1902, re-
garding which statistics nave just been
tabulated was the greatest ever
known, amounting to 9O2,S12, or 1851
per 1000, compared with 1909 in 1901
and 1853, the average for the last ten
wears. The number of births during
the decade increased only slightly, re-
naming just above 100000 yearly.
The gain therefore is due exclusively
to the diminished death rate, which
was 2056 in 1902, compared with 22.6S
for the previous decade.

learned that his name was Hansen
and that his home was in Racine
county, Wis. The MAN appeared to be
of middle age and probably laborer.
He had evidently been dead couple
of days when found. A .coroner's jury
was impanelled and a verdict of suicide
returned.

Few actresses with Important roles

usually are so arranged that the leading
women have just time to make neces-
sary changes in costumes, or to rest
from an especially emotional scene O.
a taxing song. Mr. BelascO was obliged
to construct both "Du Barry and The
Darling of the Gods" SO that there should
be at least twenty minutes rest after
the most important scenes. For in
