u. S. CENSUS OF CE.
! Il Is Now in Charge Of Mr.. North,
the New Director.


The president on Dune notified Mr..
William II. Merriam of his acceptance
OF Mr.. Merriam's resignation as di-:
rector of the census, to take effect on
that day. Mr.. S. n D. North, former
chief of the division of manufactures
of the census bureau, was rendered the
position a number of weeks ago, and
accepted. 1t was expected at first
that Mr.. Merriam would retire from
Office May IS, but Mr.. North requested
him to remain a little longer, as he
could not arrange his private affairs
so as to take charge: of the Office be-
fore June 8. Accordingly, that day was
fixed as the date for the transfer of au-
thority..
Mr.. Merriam has been: elected vice
president of the International mer-
camille agency, and expects to devote
himself to business entirely in the fu-
ture. He will probably make his head
quarters in New York.
Mr.. Merriam has been the director
Of the census since the organization of
the bureau in 1899, and his record in the
office attracted universal attention
on account Of the manner in which he
prepared for and took the census and
published the results. An act of con-
gress gave him very short time in
which to complete the work, and in
spite of all sorts of obstacles thrown
in his way, including strikes among
the printers, he was able to push the
work through and lay the completed
work before congress before the ex-
piration of: the time limit. Thissis con-
sidered remarkable performance,
and drew special attention to the bu-
reau.

1S49. His father was professor of
Greek at Hamilton college for many
years, and under his direction the son
received his early education. He was
entered as a student at Hamilton COL
lege at an early age, and on being
graduated entered the newspaper bust
ness as part owner of the UTICA Herald
in 1873. He held almost every position
on that paper from reporter to manag-
ing editor, and remained with it until
1886. Mr.. North secured an interest
in the Albany Express in the latter
part of 1886, and became it's manag-
ing editor.
Mr.. North was the Washington cor
respondent of both his papers during
part Of the time he was connected with
them. He made the acquaintance of
many public men through his service
in this city and became known through
out the country as one of the best au-
thorities in the United States on the
tariff and the tariff schedules. He re-
mained with the Albany Express for
three years, when, 1889, he was
elected secretary of the Wool Manu-
facturers' association, of Boston.
Mass, which position he has held ever
since.
In 1880 Mr.. North was selected to
prepare the newspaper statistics for
the tenth census, and in 1885 complete ed
the preparations for the taking of the
New York state census. In 1890 he was
selected to make a special report on
wool manufactures for the eleventh
census, and in 1894 was secretary of
the republican branch of the senate
committee on finance. While engaged
In his duties at the capitol as a CORE

of ways and means of the house of rep-
resentatives. MIR. Mckinley had
charge of the preparation of the tariff
bill passed during his last term in con.
gress, and which was known as the
Mckinley bill, and Mr.. North was
charged with the making Of the tariff
schedules. Later he performed the
same service for Representative Ding

sition' on the industrial commission 4o
which he was appointed by Preside dent
Mckinley in 1898. A year later. at.the
earnest solicitation of the president
Mr.. North resigned from the Industrial
commission to become chief statisti-
scian in charge Of the division Of mann
factures of the twelfth census. The
work of Mr.. North in this division bas !
attracted attention throughout tha
world, and his thorough knowledge of
