BUREAU

Washington, D. c., April 9.-The
census bureau has issued a bulletin
on the population Of states and cities
In the number Of towns and cities
having over 10000 inhabitants Mas
sachuse Is is in the lead with AZ, cen
tanning a total of 2,197, 707 inhabitants.
Considered by states New York leads
in population with more than seven
and half millions, Pennsylvania ex.
ceeds SIX and half millions. and
Illinois has passed five millions But
twenty states now have less than a
millioninhabitants and II exceed two
millions.
The estimates are made in a bulle-
tin giving estimates of population In
1901, 1902 and 1903 for all cities OF
10. 900 inhabitants OF mCre in the
United States
An official statement accompanying
the bulletin says: "The bureau OF
census has made an estimate of popu,
lation upon what is known as the
ar ithmetical methods. This is upon
the assumption that the increase since
last census win ta one-tenth of the
decennial increase between the last
two censuses. The country as a whole
and most Of The states and cities are
growing with a steadily decreasing per
cent of Increase. Aa this condition
has obtained in the United States for
the last twenty years It Is likely to
hold good in the immediate future.
Under such conditions the arithme-
teal methods have proved more ac-
curate than any alternative method.
Estimates by this method based on
the census population of 1889 and
1890 were made for 1900 and the re-
suits compared with the census count.
The estimates gave these cities a
total annual Increase between 1890
and 1900 Of 4O7,O20, The count show
ed an actual average increase of 414,-
973 or closer than estimates based on
vote cast or number OF names in a
directory or a local census Of school
children. OF course in number OF
individual cases the estimates which
have been made VIII ultimately be
provd 20 be wide cf the trlth. but
even In such cases. the bureau cf the
census believes tha. they will be OF
value for the only purpose for which
they have actually been prepared'
namely. to establish a basis for the
computation OF death and birth rates
etc"
There are no cities credited with
$4,000 population in Mississippi, okla

The Other End.

An Irishman who served on board
a man-of-war was selected by one Of
the officers to haul a towlinc of con-
siderable length that was towing
over the taffrail. After pulling in
forty or fifty fathoms, which had
put his patience severely to proof as
we'll as every muscle of his arms,
he muttered to- himself;
"Surely, it's as long as today and
tomorrow. It's good weeks work
for any five in the ship. "Bad

After continuing in a similar
strain and conceiving there was lit

his labor he suddenly stopped short

The Jefferson Bowl

Hon. William j. Bryan has just
come into possession Of II white
marble punch bowl, that formerly
belonged to Thomas Jefferson, and
that once rested on the sldeboard
at Monticello.
For seventy-ive years after JEFF
ferson's death, the bowl was the
property of Virginians, and it
was from DR.. j. NJ. Scott of Gull
pepper, Va, that Mr.. Bryan pur-
chased the bowl, to add TO his col
lection of jefferson relics.
The bowl, which was hewn out
of Virginia white marble, weighs
about 100 pounds. Two rudely
carved handles stand out by which
it can be carried, while two trough
like burrows give facility for
emptying it. A wide ledge runs
around the rim, upon which rest
the glasses while being filled. 1t
is said to hold ten gallons of liquid.
Resting in its depths is monster
oak pestle, supposed to have been
used as lemon squeezer. 1t
weighs four pounds, and is shaped
at the ends like potato masher
of ancient design.
The bowl bears as a certificate
OF its authenticity an old rarch~
ment signed by Mrs. Agnes Thur
man of Altemnrle county, Va.
which says that the BOWL was once
the property of Mr.. Jefferson, and
was purchased by her hubsnd,
John Rogers, at the big vensue at
Monticello, after Mr.. Jeiferson's
death, in 1925.
The bowl FIST attracted Mr..
Bryan's attention some years age,
when he was ia Virginia, and was
given reception MT the hone of
Judge Glimsley. The bowl was
then filled with lemonade and at
once impressed MIR. Bryan hy its
age. On finding that it had once
belonged to Thomas Jefferson, Mr..
Bryan determined 10 some day be-
come its owner. The bowl now
occupies place of state upon as
oak table in the hall at Fair
view," Mr.. Bryan's lone, and
above it hangs u spIeadaf portrait
of Mr.. jefferson.

Japanese Fighters Eat Meat.

The Jap is able to digest rice and
similar foods much better than a
white man because he possesses an
intestine one-fifth longer. Such at
all events is the statement of DR..
B. Schedule of the Kioto Medical
school, says the Saturday Evening
Post.
1t is a fact, however, that the
fighting men of Japan are meat eat
ers, though the population of the
country at large is vegetarian main
ly. Even in time of peace beef is
supplied to the soldiers, and that is
one reason why foreigners find it
convenient to reside in the neigh
borhood of garrison towns, because
the butcher is handy. At the same
time the people of Nippon can un-
der no circumstances be persuaded
to touch mutton, which they look

THE MARINER AND THE SEA.
On the Skill Of the Seaman Depends the
Triumph of Victory.

While It is true that the mariner
is no longer dependent upon his
skill and ability to handle and move
his ship by means of force OF ma
ture he cannot control, and, though
human ingenuity has given him a
machine combining in its mcchan-
ism the forces of the air, the fire
and the lightning, enabling it to
come and 90 by day or night wher-
ever there is water enough under
The keel to hoat it, the sea ever re-
mains the same, and the domination
over its mighty power will always
be the problem of him who goes
down to it. The same stoutness of
heart, the same quicizness of brain,
the same skill in reading current
and tide, the same resourceful readi-
ness under all conditions of wind
and wave, fog, storm or battle, that
have so 'conspicuously marked the
achievements of the American naval
seaman of the past, must today
meet tests Of scamanship as rigid in
their requirements as ever before.
All of the ships company-ma-
chinist, fireman or coal passer down
where the engines throb and thrust ;
yeoman, steward and messman in
the narrow ammunition passages be-
low; marine in military top and bat
terry, every soul on board, each in
his way--form the units of the
fighting whole. All must face alike
with equal courage and devotion
the danger and terror Of battle. But
it is on the trained skill of the sea-
mamie who mans the ships
weapons on gun deck, in turret and
torpedo room, who manages and
navigates, directs and controls every
movement of his craft, battleship
or cruiser, torpedo boat or subma-
rine-that mainly depend the tri-
umph of victory, the safety and Sc
curity of vessel and crew.
Quick, ready and resourceful as
was the nimble topman and the tar
ry handed, curve fingered hauler of
sheet and bowline, another "handy
man." equally adroit, expert and ef-
ficient, but with complicated duties
requiring education and training
such as his forbears never dreamed
Of, succeeds them in the person Of
the bluejacket-seaman and artif-
icer-of the times in which we live.
While on almost any of the big
ships may still be found some stur-
dy survivors of the old navy--some
level headed, oaken hearted master
at arms; some hard listed, sea worn
chief quartermaster; some canny,
handy gunner's or carpenters mate,
for, anomalous as it may seem, the
carpenter and his mates still have
their hands full of work even on the
newest of steel 'ships-the youth of
the great mass of the crews is APP
parent even .tpThe casual visitor,
and, while nome of the disadvan-
tages of J'outh may be evident in

life of the present day.-R. f. Fog

JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION
Ter.Centenary Anniversary of
English Settlement

We have in no respect modified
the opinion frequently expressed
in these columns that the exposi-
ton has been greatly tverdone.
Indeed, we can recall very few
during the past twenty years which
possessed any special significance
or represented an event or devel-
opment emitting it to national
patronage. If, however, there be
an anniversary in which the Amer
lean people are Immediately con-
cerned or an achievement they
can all unite in celebrating with
patriotic zeal, that anniversary
and that achievement are repres-
ented in the proposed jamestown
Exposition of 1907.
The English colonists who land
ed at jamestown in 1907 may be
said to have laid the Cornerstone
of the splendid political edifice We
now call the United States of
America. Those men were the
pioneers OF human liberty and
free institutions of government.
Their courage, devotion and energy
made it possible for the Puritans
to rescue New England from the
wilderness. Their example at
tracted to these shores tn, Hugue-
nots, the Catholic cavaliers of Lord
Baltimore's following, the Scotch,
Irish, and English emigrants sent
out by Oglethorpe and Raleigh.
jamestown was the birthplace of
the republic. 1t is tc Americans
what Bethlehem is to the Christian
peoples of the world. The land
ing there is the most important
event in the history of the western
hemisphere. 1t means more than
the Declaration of independence,
or the French purchase of 1903, or
any other chapter in our astound-
ing history. And il We have cele-
brated the events that grew out of
it-mere fruits and consequences
with how much more propriety can
We celebrate the first cause, the
initial seed, which has produced
unreasonable, and stupendous
harvestS
There can he nothing local or
sectional in such d celebration.
Indeed, it will be more than ma
lional, for the Jam estown colony
was composed of Englishmen.
English pluck, English strength,
English character erected on these
shores the temples of the greatest
civilization the world has ever
seen, and the Englishmen of to-
day have as much right to be proud
of the result al we have. Their
forefathers furnished tie indomi-
table stock from which We are
descended. 1t seems to us that
England might well be glad to
take equal part with us in COM
memorating the most brilliant vic
tory of English bIoods and brains.
The Post has taken but languid
interest in most of the exposition
enterprises that have clamored
for governmental recognition. In
our opinion, very few CT them have
had valid claim. But if there
be anything in our history worth
celebrating at all, surely it must
be the venture which inaugurated
the American republlc.-Washing-
ton Post.
