NEW o r STATE CENSUS
YFHNN
Enumeration Of People in the Me-
tropolis and Other Cities.
Comparison of New York With Other
Large Cities OF the World
Growing Rapidly.

New York City.-All preliminary ar
engagements for taking the 1905 census
of New York, city and State, have been
perfected, although the actual work
of counting noses will not begin
until June /. Thomas Edwin Brown,
Jr., Supervisor for New York County,
has opened offices at No. $50 Nassau
street. This census will be taken in
quicker time and at less cost than any
previous one.
Estimating on the figures of the last
census, it is believed that New York
will show a population Of nearly four
millions. Of these a little less than
two millions are housed on the island
of Manhattan; Brooklyn will be cred
tied with about 100000, the Bronx
with 324,0O0. Queens with about 200.
600 and Richmond with about 10000.
Amazing as it may seem, it has been
figured out that New York City's pop
ulation increases at the rate Of three
per cent. a year, adding more than 100,-
900 souls in every twelve months,
equivalent to the absorption of a city
as big as Scranton, Pa. 1t is rapidly
overtaking London, England. which in
the census of 1901 had 4,537, 900 per-
sons, and in the course of no very long
time Manhattan Borough alone will
pass Paris, France, which in that year
had 2,714,00
AS for American cities, it is so far
ahead that none of them can possibly
0Qtnh nm A11nUtnn IN Nhfao oO Ill
and Philadelphia, Pa, the same rate
of growth New York City has enjoyed,
the former will count only 2,000,0 600
this year and Philadelphia 100000.
Under a statute passed last March,
the entire work of this years State
census will be in charge of the Secre-
tary of State, but the actual work will
be under the control of w. G. Hunt,
head of the population division Of the
Federal Census Bureau, who has been
loaned to the State by the National
Government. A supervisor has been
appointed for each of the counties, and
Mr.. Brown has the work of this one.
Mr.. Brown will have twelve assist
ants, chosen from the Senatorial dis
hicts, and each of these assistants will
have charge of one-twelfth of the city.
These, in turn, will have direction Of
the enumerators, on the basis of one
for every election district, numbering
nearly 900 in all.
This year the cost will be unusually
small, only 100000 having been APP
propriated for the whole State. That
is why the Secretary of State has or
dered that the work shall begin on
June 1 and be finished in two weeks,
although the statute permits all of
May and June. Each enumerator will
receive 50 a day and one cent for every
name he records. These men are chO.
sen from the election districts, but fit
ness is made a first requisite.
No attempt will be made to gather
industrial figures in the census. The
main duty will be to find out just how
many persons live in New York, and
upon the findings will depend the re-
apportionment Of the State into Sena-
torial and Assembly districts.

Mrs. Mae P. Wharry, Secretary Of
the North Shore Oratorical Society,
The Norman, Milwaukee, Wis, writes.
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
az was married for five years and gave
birth to two premature children. Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was recon-
mended to me, and I am so glad / took il, for
it changed me from a weak, nervous woman
to a strong, happy and healthy one within
seven months. Within two years a lovely
little girl was born, which is the pride and
Joy of our household. Every day l bless
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for
the light, health and happiness it brought to
our home"
If any woman thinks she is sterile,
or has doubts about her ability to carry
a child to a mature birth let her write
to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, whose

The great headquarters of the nat

country, and a paying one, for the

nothing but rabbit warrens IN every

YELLED MURDEREsS DIES.
Henrietta Robinson, Long a Prisoner
Never Told Her Name.

Henrietta Robinson, Long a Prisoner.
Never Told Her Name.
Newburg, N. Y.-Henrietta Robinson.
who was known as the 'veiled murder
ess," and whose name was assumed,
died at the Matteawan State Hospital
the other morning.
According to the only clue she ever
gave to her identity she belonged to
one of the English titled families. This
much of her secret was CLEANED by hos.
pital physicians about a year ago.
Securely sewed in her needle case
the authorities found, after her death,
a locket and a worn piece of newspaper
upon which was written:
when first l saw this world Of joy
and pain,
Assailed by doubt that ever will re.
main,
1 wondered what it meant to live to
die
The question oft I ~pondered, but in
vain"
Of late years she had been visited by
no person but her attorney, who saw
her once in about five years. She re-
ceived a box at Christmas from a Phil
adelphia woman, whose identity the
hospital authorities refuse to divulge.
AS no one claimed the body she was
buried in the hospital cemetery.
When it was apparent she was going
to die, she was urged to reveal heI
identity, but refused. She said she had
kept the secret during the half century
she had been in prison and it would
die with her.
Mrs. Robinson was arrested for the
murder of Timothy flanagan and Cath
crime Lubee in Troy, N. Y, in 1853
She insisted upon wearing a veil dur
ing her trial, though urged to remove
it by the Judge and Martin L. Town
send, her attorney. She was convicted
sentenced to be hanged and sent te
Sing Sing in 1855. Her sentence was
committed and in 1873 she was sent tc
Auburn. About fifteen years ago she
was removed to the Matteawan Hospi
pal for the Criminal Insane.
She was d quiet prisoner, and of late
years had spent her time in making
lace, which she wore. The Hospital
records show that she was seventy
eight years old, but on her last birth
day anniversary she said she was

Old-Fashioned Oil Strike.

Butler, Pa, experienced the greatest
excitement in twenty years when the
Mcbride well. on the o. X. Waldron
farm, started flowing at the rate of
ninety barrels an hour, and conserva-
tive oil men said the production has
been as high at 125 barrels an hour.
The owners, Peter +. McCool, Michael
F~innegan, Of Pittsburg; Ike Mcbride
and Harry Hinchberger, of Butler,
have 200 acres leased neal the new
gusher. Mcbride, the principal owner,
was ridiculed by oil men when he in
sisted that he was going to make a
strike. Now there is an oldtime rush to
get leases. The we'll is in a field that
has produced fairly, but never anything
of the present gusher.

GENERAL WOOD KILLS MOROS.
Seven Americans Killed, Nineteen
Wounded-Rebels Surrounded.

NOunueQ-ReDelS surrounded.
Manila, P. I. Fierce fighting has
been going on the last two weeks on
the Island of Jolo between the outlaw
Moro chief Pala, with 600 we'll armed
followers, and troops under the per-
sonal command Of Major-General Leon
ard Wood. Pala's losses have been 300
killed, while those of General Wood
have been seven killed and nineteen
wounded. Pala and his remaining fol-
lowers, in accordance with Moro tradi-
ton, prefer death to capture.
General Wood, with detachments
from the Fourteenth Cavalry, the Sew
enteenth, the Twenty-second and the
T~wenty-third Infantry and constabu-
larry scouts, has driven Pala and his
followers into a swamp, which has
been surrounded.
Pala was a noted slave trader and
warrior when the Americans occupied
the islands. Later he escaped with
his followers to the Island of Pula Sc
kar, near Borneo. One of Pala's lead
ers deserted and took refuge in the
British settlement at Lahad. Pala,
discovering his whereabouts, landed
with a following and demanded of the
British magistrate that he turn the de-
serter Over to him. The demand was
not complied with and Pala ordered a
massacre. Twenty-Five persons, in
Guiding several Britons, were killed.
Pala escaped to the Island of Jolo and
organized the present uprising. ,
1t is reported that the Borneo author
tiles requested General Wood to ap-
prehend Pala, dead OF alive, and turn
him over to them.

Many women long for a child to bless
their homes, but because of some de-
bility or displacement of the female
organs they are barren.
Preparation for healthy maternity is
accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound more successfully
than by any other medicine, because it
gives tone and strength to the entire
female organism, curing all displace-
ments, liberation and Inflammation.
A woman who is in good physical
condition transmits to her children the
blessings of a good constitution. Is
not that an incentive to prepare for a
healthy maternity?
If ~expectant mothers would fortify
themselves with Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, which for thirty
years has sustained thousands OF
women in this condition, there would
be a great decrease in miscarriages, in
suffering, and in disappointment at
birth.
The following letters to Mrs. Pink.
ham demonstrate the power of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in
such cases.
