ever she was ready to sing at Monte
Carlo he would see that she was re-

Later in the same year a wealthy
merchant of Poissy heard Miss Du

pleased with her voice that he en-

The United States, we are reminded
by the Hon. w. r. Merriam. late di-
rector of the census, in the April Cen
fury, was the first nation to provide
for periodical count Of it's people.
Within century its example had been
followed by the whole civilized world.
The United States census started in
1890. with six questions. A hundred
years later it was recording something
like complete biography of every in
habitant.
The first census law was signed by
George Washington; the latest by
Theodore Roosevelt.
The law allowed nine months to
count a little less thar 100000 per-
sons in 1890, but 1T really took eigh-
teen. There were about $50 emu
merators. In 1900 there were nearly
$4,000 enumerators, and they counted
100000 persons In one month.
The first census did not employ a
single clerk; the last employed 1854.
The first census cost not quite $45,-
600; the last cost nearly $12,000.000.
If it were not for the introduction of
electrical tabulating machines, It
would hardly be possible now to get
out all the. figures for one census be-
fore would come the time to take the
next, and the cost would run up so
high that 1t would need another ma
chine to calculate it.-New York World.

Interesting Career Of
Ethel Houston Du Ere

The Castle Square Opera company's
season of grand opera in English at
the Metropolitan has introduced opera
goers to another talented American
contralto in the person of Miss Ethel
Houston Du Ere. Miss Du Ere was
born in Memphis, Tenn. She is a di-
rect descendant of the famous Sam
Houston, who was prominently identi-
fed with the history of the state Of
Texas, and a grand-niece of the late
Bishop Greene, of Mississippi. On the
maternal side she is related to Mrs.
Jefferson Davis.
Her girlhood was spent in Memphis
and Birmingham, Ala. At an early
age she showed promise of an ex-
ceptional voice, and for five years
studied in New York under the best
instructors. Refusing all offers to ap-
pear in comic opera. Miss Du Ere went
to Paris, where she studied with Bouhy
and Marchesi.
Shortly after arriving In Paris she
was asked to sing at the most fashion.

there are some fine estates the country is
thinlv populated. the site possessing IN the
way another decided advantage because
there is no fear of carrying contagiOn into
a healthy district.
In the deep valleys are q few scattered
farm houses, the occupants of which earn
scant living from their shadows oiled
grounds. One thing will be noticed, how
ever, and that is the long-lived type of the
inhabitants. One or two centenarians are
| among those living within an easy radius
of the camp. Old men Of over ninety years
work their farms and attend to all the
arduous work connected with them, ap-
parently without any extra exertion.
DR.. Lederle's plans are to lodge the pa
tientS in tents. These will not be- the
f1imsy structures used in midsummer out
tngs, for these tents are to be occupied
during the coolest weather, as well as in
summer. but a substantial structure made
of the heaviest canvas. The roofs are re-
infOrced and extend far beyond the sides
and ends, pitched acutely to the driving
rain and sleet. There is no possibility Of
leakage.
There will be tight board floors, raised
distance from the ground, and around
the walls a board wainscoting several
feet high. Many windows will admit light
and in pleasant weather extra ventilation.
though the structure itself might be said
to be sef-ventilating without draughts.
The window spaces are provided with ex-
ira coXars when it is desirable to exclude
light or air. Stoves will be used for heat
ing, and in the seVerest weather the pa
tientS will sleep in sleeping-bags. Each
tent will accommodate three or four per-
sons. H.,
According to authorities on the disease
these are ideal conditions for treating con-
sumptives. There can be no lack of fresh
air, the proper temperature can be main
talned even in the most inclement weather
and the patients will have all the benefits
of outdoor life even when the weather
compels them to remain in their tents
The camp will be charitable Institution
entirely, and at first will be modest af-
fair, but once established, further accom-
odations will be added as rapidly as ad-
ditional funds for its maintenance can be
secured
1t is very apparent that the greatest ad-
vantages- have been secured all around

Special to The Globe
NEW YORK, April A site for
New York's first tuberculosis camp has
at last been selected and active prep
arations to accommodate her vast army
of consumptive patients are being
made,
Some of the states which have been
receiving our incurable. cases for years
will undoubtedly be glad to hear it.
A few more years Of this wholesale
dumping of incurable cases, in the
state of Texas, for instance, would
make that salubrious spot a gehenna
of consumption. That is If we may
judge of the situation by the express
sion Of an eminent medical authority
there, DR.. f. Howard, who recently de-
livered himself as follows:
Every railroad in the state is bring.
ing in hundreds of consumptives-gen
orally in the very last stages of the
dread disease. They cough and ex-
hale and expectorate and execrete mil
lions of bacilli and their microscopic
spores-the invisible seeds Of wide ex-
tending death. On the train, on the
street cars, on the streets, in hotels
and other houses-wherever they go
they sow broadcast these microscopic
seeds of death. These spores (seeds)
dried by the sun, beaten down by the
rain, exposed to heat and cold, are
practically indestructible. Like the
Egyptian wheat-hidden 5000 years in
the tombs of the mummies-they (the
spores) need but suitable heat and
moisture, to spring up and bring forth
{not hundred-fold, but a thousand)
the harvest of death! These spores
(seeds of DEATH are carried on the
wings of every wind that blows!
Texas, of late years, has become the
dumping ground for the consumptives
of the world. From North, South, East
and West, the consumptives are pour
ing into our state. Generally they are
in the very last stages of consumption
-hopelessly incurable! A burden to
themselves, and dangerous nuisance
to others, they come here but to
spread the disease, and then-diei
These things ought not SO to bel"
Why this action was not taken soon
er is moot point, much as is the
question why rapid transit was not in
augurated here a decade ago. The sta
tistics of the health department show
that in New York city there are 10000
consumptives, with the further fact
that 10000 of them have not the means
to combat the disease in any way.
One naturally exclaims with surprise
why do they not go to the hospitals"
There is one true and convincing an
swer to this. In the city of New
York there are not over 900 beds avail
able in all of its charitable institu-
tons for the poverty stricken con-
sImptive.
This situation is probably duplicated
in many other leading cities of the land
and the sooner it is given methodical,
scientific attention the sooner the fatal
curse of modern civilization will be
downed.
In such "a city as New York the
continuance of such condition of af-
fairs would mean a race of consump-
tives not many generations distant.
