GUIDE MAY START RUSH.
How to Care for and Manage the Most
fascinating of Dom estic Pets.

Marriage license clerks should pre-
pare for the rush, for the chief mar
riage handicap has been removed. AS
soon as sufficient time has elapsed for
the study Of a book just published in
London called wives and How to
Manage Them" they may expect Il
tidal wave of young men with the H.
cense fee and the courage of their
convictions.
The author hides his fame under the
name of "One Who Knows" but that
will not prevent him receiving a monu
ment from the male portion of the En-
glish speaking race after he has been
lynched by their better halves.
He starts off by drawing attention
to the fact that there are numerous
handbooks published which deal with
the management of the horse, the dog,
the canary. and other domestic ami
mails. and yet there is no good and
useful text book upon the Choice and
Management Of the Wife who is by
far the most important, most expen-
sive and most universal of the domes-
tic pets"
The course of management must be-
gin with the honeymoon. and the great
thing the husband has to beware is al
lowing his wife to think for herself.
If YOU speak a foreign language and
she does not. spend your honeymoon
In that country, then you must do the
thinking for both. IF you do not your
wife may begin TO think for you. TO
allow this is the most fatal error you
can possibly commit. 1t is habit you
may find it difficult to break her of
afterwards. Let her talk-that does
no manner Of harm and comes to most
ing-but. if possible, prevent her from
thinking at all: in a wife it Is a most
pernicous habit, only one degree less
terrible than that of reasoning, which
is deadly sin. If once your wife be-
gins to reason about things in gen
eral. and contracts the habit. before
long she Is sure to reason about YOU
Now YOU know quite well that you
will not bear reasoning about.
One of the few things for which a
man may be naturally thankful is wo-
mans changeability. Some unthink-
ing male creatures have reproached
women for this changeability; they do
not realize that no sane man would
care to eat boiled mutton at every
meal, year in and year OUT
He strongly advises moderation In
the management Of wife by means
Of violence, and cites a good reason
from the police court. The magis-
trate asked the wife: And You mean
to say that that miserable wreck of a
man gave you black eye? Lor, sir.
she answered. he wasn't miserable
wreck afore he struck me- The ar
gument is convincing.
One thing you must do in manag-
ing wife Is to insist OH her doing
rs you say. and then shutting your
eyes, so that you may not see when
she does the opposite SO. and only so,
can you manage her with happiness
for both.
This needs the cooperation OF the
wife, however. and the power to tell
a good, convincing lie.
The final advice is: BE careful,
whatever you do, to keep up your sub

GARFIELD'S PLAN
REPORT or COMMISSIONER or COR.
pORATIONS:
would Have All Interstate Fran.
ChiseS Originate in Congress,
and All Corporations Doing In.
terSfafe Business Under Fed.
Gral Control.

Washington, Dec. 22.-The first
annual report of the commissioner of
corporations was submitted to congress
yesterday by Commissioner Garfield.
He says no satisfactory reform is to be
expected under the state system of in
corporation; that the federal govern
ment has at its command sufficient
power to remedy existing conditions in
its control of Interstate commerce. He
therefore suggests that congress con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY of enacting law
for the legislative regulation OF inter.
state and foreign commerce under a IL
cense or franchise which in general
should provide as follows:
"rhe granting of federal license
or franchise to engage in interstate
commerce.
The requirement of such reports
and returns as may be desired as a
condition of the retention of such fran
chise or license
1.-The prohibition Of all corporations
and corporate agencies from engaging
in interstate and foreign commerce
without such federal franchise or H.
cense.
1.-THE full protection Of the grantees
of such franchise or license who obey
the laws applicable thereto.
The right to refuse or withdraw
such franchise or license in case Of vi.
olation of law, with appropriate right
of judicial appeal to prevent abuse Of
power by the administrative officers"
Commissioner Garfield says the bu-
reau under the direction Of the secre-
tary of commerce and labor, affords
the appropriate machinery for the ad.
ministratiion of such law.

ITS POPULATION

Growth of Chicago Accord
ing to Calculations of Pub
fishers of City Directory
INCREASE Is KEPT UP
Non Working Old Maids Are
Excluded, but List Re-
mains Largest in World

Let the members Of the Three Million
Club cheer up and silent be the mouths
of the scoffers in rival cities. Chicago
has population of 2.241, 600, according
TO the estimate made yesterday by the
Chicago Directory Company, which Is
about to issue its annual list Of names
of the residents of the city.
The estimate is based on the ratio
between the population in 1890. as
shown by the Government census, and
the number of names in the directory
Of that year. This ration is applied to
the number of names In the 1904 direc-
tory, with the given results. The in
crease over last year shown is 10000
inhabitants, the usual annual increase
in Chicago. Henry l.. Smith, manager
Of the company which has been issu-
ing the city directory for years, has
the utmost confidence in the reliability
Of the estimate prepared by the ex-
perts in the company's employ.
SCOFFS AT LAST CENSUS.
AS compared with the figures OBJ
tained by the census compilers en-
ployed by the Government in 1900 he
VIII stake MS reputation on the cor
rectness of the company's figures.
THE publishers have confidence in
the statistics gathered by men whose
life training has fitted them for the
work." said Manager Smith, ''as COM
pared with the results obtained by a
staff of political appointees without
training or special capacity for their
task. Chicago's present population is
2,241, ,000"
The directory, which will appear on
or about July 20. will be larger than
ever, sustaining it's reputation of be-
ing the largest city directory in the
world. The increase in size, however,
represents the addition of but 5000
names, owing to the fact that the can
vassers have excluded the names of a
large number of unmarried women not
engaged in business. This process of
elimination, as explained by Manager
Smith, was adopted because such resi-
dents of the city were best represented
in the directory by the names of heads
of families.

METHOD OF RECKoNING.

Inc eSIlndIe OF the directory COM
pany's population last year was 2,231, =
| 600, based on the United States cen
sus of 1890. It is admitted in the pub
lisher's preface to the directory that
it makes a great difference what basis
is adopted for reckoning the city's pop
ulation The preface states: IF the
census of 1900 is assumed to be basis
from which to estimate the present
population of Chicago, as determined
by the ratio Of directory names in 1904
in comparison with those of 1900, the
present population is 1910, 700"
The publishers estimate of the pop
ulation is not determined by using an
arbitrary multiple, as is generally un-
derstood but is based On the figures
of the Federal census. The process is
as follows: The ratio between the
number of names in a directory in a
census year is assumed to be one of
the members of an arithmetical pro-
portion from which may be derived
the population in any given year when
the number of directory names in that
year is established.
SMALL CHANCE OF ERROR.
1T is obvious that this method elm
mates the residual error which might
obtain in the use of fractional num-
Der. and the result should be correct
if the United States census figures
were correct. Unfortunately, however,
a problem is at once presented to Chi
cago because of the enormous discrep-
ancy in results obtained by this meth
cd when based on the census of 1890
as compared with that of 1900.
Which of these enumerations was
correct is a matter not easily deter
mined, but, as has been shown in pre-
vious years, it is evident that either
the census of 1890 was padded by MANY
thousands of fictitious names or else
the census of 1900 was taken SO care
lessly and inefficiently that in deter
mining the present population Of the
city the census of 1890 should be alto
gether disregarded."
Charles ]. Aabel, an engineer living
at 90 North State street, is the first citi-
zen of Chicago In the sense that his
name heads the long list of names. A
man of the same name stood at the
head last year. The last name of the
$4,000 contained in the directory is
that of Joseph Zywa, 1872 South Eliza
OClh SbIeSl i4dSl year one OF MS
countrymen, John Zyzna, brought up
the rear of the constantly increasing
procession Of citizens who owe allegi-
ance to Chicago.
JOHNSONS MOST NUMEROUS.
AS has been observed by the direc-
tory publishers for years, the Johnsons
are very much in evidence. They crowd
more pages of names than ANYBODY
else and the Smiths come in close
second. The Olsons. the Joneses and
the Browns are just as numerous as
ever
The work Of compiling the directory
began May and was completed within
three weeks by 465 cantassers, about
fifty more men than were employed
last year. One of the precautions
adopted to insure accuracy was the
striking out from last years directory
of all names of persons dying, as re-
ported by the health department An.
elaborate system Of checking was also
followed by which mistakes in spelling
were avoided.-Chicago go Chronicle.
