Charles F. Murphy has received info-ma-

the number of negroes registered in Man
haitian and The Bronx this year and he has
ordered the Tammany district Leaders to
find out whether tho increase Is natural or
whether il is q colonization scheme on the
part of the Odell machine. This is the
letter he sent to each district leader:

Our Countrr,s Growth.

No nation on earth can show so
rapid a growth In population as the
United States. The recent bulletin of
the Census Bureau contains the esti.
mates of population for 1901, 1902 and
1903 for all the cities having 10000
or more Inhabitants In 1900 and for
States and Territories. According to
the figures presented, the total estimat-
ed population of the United States,
exclusive OF Alaska and the insular
possessions OF the United States, is TO-
900,39S. This is an increase of 3,905,-
S14 since the census Of 1900. The pop
ulation is estimated for 43S cities hav-
ing 10000 or more Inhabitants In 1900.
According to these estimates, New
York Is now a city OF 3,716,139 inhab,
itants; Chicago is rapidly approaching
the two million mark, having 1873, $50
inha bitants; Philadelphia has 1857, ZIG;
st. Louis has just passed and Boston
has almost reached the 100000 mark
Baltimore has 531,313; Cleveland is
now considerable distance ahead Of
Cincinnati. which cities have 414,950
and S32, ,234. Buffalo has also consid-
erably increased its population, being
credited with 3S1, ,403 inhabitants. San
Francisco and Pittsburg are also close
competitors, the former having 355,919
and the latter 345,043. Detroit, Mil
waukee and New Orleans have just
passed 100000 and Washington is close

fresh evidence that Dodd's Kidney
Pills will cure Diabetes. Important
evidence in their favor is given by Rev,

case of Diabetes and received so much
benefit from the use Of Dodd's Kidney
Pills that l cheerfully recommend
them to anyone suffering from that
dread disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills
will cure the worst form of Diabetes. y
Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure Dia'

Belief in This Training IL n Matter Of
Modern Growth.
Belief In physical training has really
been a matter of quite modern growth
in England, but as 1t was slow to come
1t came with a rush. For we seem to
have been taken with a positive mania
for physical training, and there is az
much danger of our OVERRIDING 1t as
there was Of neglecting what we know
to be essential on health. Let US take
a lesson from the hardy little Jap, who
Is the embodiment of "wiriness" and
who seems incapable of fatigue, though
his sustenance is only few grains OF
rice. The Japanese have practIced a
system Of physical exercise for over
$500 years, and to this Is due the
splendid physique which enables them
10 Withstand fatigue. They have been
called the "healthiest, strongest and
happiest men and women In the
world" and the credit for this must
be given to Jiu-jitsu, the system re-
ferred to.
There are no less than six different
systems Of jiu-jitsu, but every one is
based on diet and the healthy state OF
the body. Every muscle is brought
into development and hardening by the
system, which means "muscle-break
ing"-a term that does not express the
fact. -Four years are needed for the
full development of the system, years

GOETHE AND PANAMA
Poets Prophecy in 1927 About the
Great Canal.

Poet's Prophecy In 1927 AbOut tn,
Great Canal.
The Frankfurter Zeitung Of Feb. 20
1904, In an editorial states that the
Panama Canal treaty has been ratified
In Washington, and that thereby th,
legal basis for the construction OF tn,
canal from the Atlantic to the PaclhC
has been created. and that the great
work can be completed In a compara
lively short time.
II Is perhaps pertinent, the paper
adds. to recall what Goethe said con
cerning these matters During a con
versation with Eckermann In lS21
with reference to Humboldt's travels,
he said:
This much Is certain: II by a
crosscut Of this kind It could be accom-.
plished that vessels with all sorts of
cargoes and Of every size could 20
through such q canal from the Gulf OF
Mexico to the Pacific Ocean, quite In
calculable results would follow for the
entire civilized and uncivilized human
race.
Il, however, would be surprised II
the United States would miss the
chance to get such a work into her
hands. 1t is to be foreseen that this
young State, with its decided tendency
toward the West, will in thirty "a
forty years have also taken possession
of, and will have populated. the large
areas of land on the other side OF the
Rocky Mountains. II is Furthermore
to be foreseen that in this entire coast
Of the Pacific Ocean, where nature has
already created the most roomy and
safest harbors, In course OF time very
important commercial towns will carry
on a large traffic between China and
the East indies with the United States.
In such a case 1t would not only be
desirable. but almost necessary, that
merchant as we'll as war vessels
should be able to have quicker connec.
ton with the western and eastern
coasts Of America. therefore repeat
that 1t is entirely indispensable for
the United States to make a passage
from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific
Ocean, and am certain that she will
accomplish it-"-Consular Report,

Tips regarding prospective snug.

sources, says the New York Tribune.

The mystery Of the cabled tip was
cleared up by passenger who had
stopped In Hamilton at the same hotel
with Green. It seemed that Green
never tipped hotel servants. One Of
them discovered that he was packing

his fellows. They clipped In enough

Contrary to the popular notion"
the physician continued, ''the more

the less sleep he will require. The
reason is that when all Of life's forces
