CENSUS COMPARISONS.
Cost of Securing Information Some
thing over IA Century Ago ana
at Present Time.

The differences between the cost OF
securing the returns from the six SIM
pie questions asked in 1890, and that

fury later, is illustrated by the per
capita cost, which in 1890 was lib
cents, and in 1900 1873 cents, says Di-
rector w. r. Merriam, in THE Evolu-
ton of Census-Taking" in Century.
In 1890 Virginia was the most popu-
louS state in the union, having 1850
abitants. The records of the treas
ury department show that at the first
census the cost of making the emu
meration in that state was $7,553.90.
Moreover, at that enumeration the
underpaid assistant marshals supplied
their own blanks, an item which was

by hand. In 1900 the population OF
Maine - about 700, OO0-most nearly

At the twelfth census the cost of ac-
tual enumeration in Maine, including
the pay of supervisors, was $34, $1,000,

amount expended for the enumeration
Of the entire United States in 1890,

WOMEN OF AMERICA.
London Writer Declares That They
Take Lead in Society Abroad.
Declares That RudinI's Criticism Ii
Wrong Queen Alexandra Has
Several American Women
Among Her Intimate Friends.

The interview with Marquis Carlo d
Rudini, which the newspaper Lltalie,
of Rome, recently published, on his
impressions acquired during his re-
cent visit to the United States, has
been quoted rather extensively III
England, and has caused considerable
talk in society circles. Rudini, speak
ing for American women who marry
European noblemen, is quoted as say
ing that they are generally de-
classes" in the United States
While it is very probable that the
word "declasses" was not intended
by Rudini to be used as it was, still the
interview has caused people in Lon
don to ask whether Rudini has any
foundation for such statements.
A London society correspondent
writes: so far as England is con
cerned, RudiniS statements are abso-
lutely wrong, as is demonstrated be
yond doubt by the ascendency which
American women have obtained in Eng

"Of these, Consuelo, duchess of
Manchester, has for a very long time
been an intimate friend Of Queen Alex

one Of the pioneers Of the American So
cial invasion, was at once taken up by
what was then called the Marlborough
house set and became a close friend Of
the then prince and princess Of Wales,
a position which she has maintained
ever since. Mrs. George Corvallis
West was another example Of the sue
cess that attended American women
in English society, and Mrs Ronalds'
name is indissolubly associated with
social life in London, her house in Cado-
gan place being the meeting place Of
the most prominent members Of So
ciety. Mrs. Henry White is to be met
at the greatest and most exclusive
houses in London.
"Without particularizing further, ii
may be said that all the ladies men

supposed to be eliminated from

board tied up the original PROPOSE

for the amount voted for the erection
of new High School at this point,
but the voters of the district refuse
to lie down at the requests of dicta-

the result of the second special
election held at the V'rginiD High
School building Tuesday evening.
In order to void and "holler" from
the south end of the district of
similar nature to the aftermath of
the former meeting, Clerk Coates
not only posted notices of the meet
ing in the south end of the district
but mailed notice for pu blication:
in an Eveleth paper, and while the
south end was turned out en- masse
to the occasion, the object of the
contingent, which was brought in
on special trains and free liveries to
the number of approximately 1000,
seemed to be the destruction of
school property rather than the
upbuilding of educational institu-
tions, the mob smashing windows.

The meeting was called to order
promptly by Clerk Coates, the reau-
ing of the call being followed by
the election of w. H. Eaton as mod
orator and the decision. in order to
expedite matters and give all pos
sible assistance toward polling the
vote within the hour, to hold
separate poll for the ladies in an
upper room. To this end two sets
of Judges and clerks were appointed,
"A. Hawkinson and B. Levin being
selected as judges of the feminine
contingent, with John Costin, IT,,
and O. L. Peterson as clerks, while
c. C.. Butler and DR.. c. w. Miller
acted as, judges aud S. w. Gilpin
and D. E. Cuppernull as clerks of
the male vote, and that none of
these thus employed shirked their
responsibilities is evidenced by the
fact that total of 299 male votes
and 1888 ladies' ballots were cast
in the sixty minutes during which
the poll were kept open.
Of this total of 637 the bonding
proposition received 472 affirmative
votes, being carried by approximate

every effort will be put forth to
make up the lost time occasioned
