THE MODERN CENSUS.
"a Decennia1 Snap Shot at the Nation
for the Benefit of All Time"

Since 1890 the area of the United
States has increased from S27,S44 to
1922 933 square miles; the number of
counties has increased from 3O7 to
2.S67; and the total population has in
creased from 3,929,214 to 76,3O3,3S7, or
nineteenfold. There are four States
each possessing, in 1900, population
greater than that of the entire nation
in 1890, at which time two of the four
were an untrodden wilderness. The
number Of cities with a population Of
5000 or over has increased from 6 to
54G, and the number with a population
Of $4,000 or over from = to 161. There
are now 3S cities having a population
exceeding 100000. and three of these
have over 1,G0OO00 each In 1900 the
record Of capital, wages. and value of
products of manufactures rises to fig
ures almost beyond comprehension.
The capital invested was S9S46. 62S,-
564: the salaries and wages paid
amounted to 81, 49,, 430.StS; and the
value of products was $13 500.
In agriculture the figures are almost
equally impressive. The total value of
farms in 1900 was $16,G74, 690,247, and
that of agricultural products in 1899.
81. 739, rs. 1872. TO gather and collate
such stupendous figures, not only with
accuracy, but so swiftly that the rec
ord of population in 1900 appeared as
quickly as did the little report of the
first census, was task of the first
magnitude. 1t was indeed an evolu-
ton.
Such is the modern census 1t is a
decennal snap shot of the nation for
the benefit of all time. Patrick Henry
declared that there was but one lamp
by which his feet We're guided-EXperi-
ence But so important has the study
of facts become that statistics present

MISSIONARY ON RACE SUICIDE.
Rev. DR.. Ryder of Opinion that Ameri-
cans Are Not Decreasing.

Rev. DR., Ryder of Opinion that Ameri-
cans Are Not Decreasing.
Rev. DR.. c. J. Ryder, secretary of the
American Missionary Association, al
ludng to recent alarming views of the
daily press and the weekly religious
Journals with regard to the decrease of
native population in the United States,
says:
Even our President called attention
TO this danger. The disaster which
threatened the nation on account OF the
vast food of foreign immigrants, and
the fact that American people were
diving out, have presented serious con-
sderations. Careful compilation, how
ever. of the statistics does not sustain
this view. The twelfth census shows
that the birth rate in the United States
is slightly larger in the decennial period
1890 to 1900 than in that of 1850 to
1890. Another interesting feature is
that the greatest increase occurred in
the northeastern group of the States.
including New England. This. again, is
contrary to a preconceived opinion. 1t
has been assumed that, especially in
New England, the birth rate-and so
the native population-was decreasing.
These facts show that the great prob
lem is still among the dependent peo-
pie in our own land and does not arise
from the rapid increase of foreigners.
The birth rate among the negroes is
vastly larger than that among the
whites. The national problem still
abides in the South land, and is that of
the Christian education and elevation
Of the colored people"

MYSTERIOUS DEATH
Of Mrs. F. A. Hanson, New
Sweden Doctors Wife.
Follows Equally Mysterious Death,
Last June, Of Her Daughter.
Husband Just Returned from Treat
nent for Morphine Habit.

New Sweden, Me-, April 22.-Mrs.
Hanson, the wife of DR.. F. A. Hanson
of this town, but formerly of East Ed
dinston, died suddenly, az noon ii u
day, under circumstances that are ex-
tren1ely mystifying. The olest daugh-
ter Alice, died suddenly last June, I'M
der circumstances equally as mystify-
ing, the doctors having failed to find
the real cause of her death.
DR.. Hanson has been absent in Ban
gor for several weeks under treatment
at the Eastern Maine Insane hospital
for the morphine habit. He left that
institution, Tuesday morning, cured, in
so far as such habits can be. He had
not been informed of his Wife's death
up to the time of his leaving the hos
pital and tine news came as sudden
shock to him. He arrived here, Tues
day afternoon, and made arrangements
for the burial of his wife.
Mrs. HansOn's death came about II
o'clock Monday. AT that hour the chill
dren were seen running in front of their
house, crying and calling for help.
Neighbors We're on hand Immediately
and found Mrs. Hanson on the floor
apparently dead. Dr.. Zagerstrom ar
rived in a few minutes and after ex-
animation pronounced her dead. Her
death is all the more mystifying, as
previously she appeared in good health.
The Oldest daughter, Alice, died sud
denly, last June, an after post NOR
tenn examination the doctors failed to
fine cause CT death, SO that also re-
mains mystery.
The seleCtmen We're Informed by the
authorities of the hospital of DR.. Han
sons departure. Their children, two
girls, aged II and six years, We're i'm
nediately taken care of by kind neigh
bors and will not suffer any want.
Mrs. Hanson was an educated wo-
man, being herself practitioner at
times and was thoroughly familiar
with the use of drugs. 1t is said that
she was addicted to the morphine or
choral habit to a certain extent and it
is possible that her death was caused
from an overdose of one Of these.
