Growth Of Town and Country.

In 1900 out OF a total population N
the continental United States OF s6.-
BOASTS, the residents in towns hav-
ing at least $500 inhabitants numbered
30.5S3.411 or 40.2 percent. In 1880.
twenty years before, the percentages
was 29.3. In England and Wales In
1901 the population OF towns OF 30O9
and more inhabitants was II percent
Of the whole. In London alone were
gathered "a percent of the whole nsm-
Der Of people.
In New England there was a olsse
approximation to the English atua-
tion, the urban population being 1855
percent to the English n percent. In
New York also the percentage was
nearly as large, 1928. In Rhode ISL
and IL was very much greater. 80. and
in Massachusetts 91.5 percent. The
large towns of 100000 population and
over contained $50 percent Of the pop
ulation of New York, Al percent OF
Rhode Island, 29.6 percent OF New
Jersey and 27.9 percent OF Massachu-
sets.
These suggestive statistics are TAX
en- from bulletin just issued from the
census office. They indicate that So
cial conditions which exist in England,
so far as concerns the concentration OF
the great majority or the population in
towns, are repeated in the older states
OF the east, and that this tendency 10
continuous. In the state OF New York,
for example. the percentage of the Er-
ban population increased from 56.4 in
1880 to 65.2 in 1890 and to 1910 percent
in 1900. The rate Of increase in this
city since 1900 has been manifestly
much greater than in the state out
side. both rural and urban, and the
time is not far distant when its popu-
lation, instead oil being somewhat lass

yond its limits. as II was in 1900. will

court, handed down decision In the
Philo S. Bennett will case, holding
that the secret letter directing Mrs.
Bennett. the widow, to pay William
J. Bryan $4,000 was not part of the
will. The effect of this Is to prevent
Mr.. Bryan from obtaining the money
mentioned in the letter, unless the
present decision Is reversed by a
higher court, or unless he should be
successful in legal proceedings against
Mrs. Bennett, in the event that the
s5O,000 should be paid under clause IL
of the will, which reads as follows:
"Twelfth-I give and bequeath unto
my wife. Grace Imogene Bennett. the
sum of $4,000. in trust, however, for
the purpose set forth in a sealed let
ter. which will be found with said
will"
