MEN oUTNUMBER WOMEN.
The Census Bulletin Recently Issued
Shows an Excess Of Males in
United States.

ington.-According to q census
bulletin recently made public there are
more men than women In the United
States, but In the cities there are more
women than men. In continental United
States there are 1,63S,32l more males
than females, or about two in each 100
people. Europe has an excess of fe-
males; every other continent. so far as
known, has an excess of males
American cities as a rule have more
females than males. In the 1861 cities,
each having in 1900 at least $500 inhab-
tants, there were POI ,959 more females
than males, and this notwithstanding
the many western cities which con-
tanned more males than females, and the
enormous number of foreign born in the
country, five-ninths of them male and
large proportion of them living in the
cities.
Notwithstanding the great excess of
males in the total population of the
United States. there are two periods of
life at which the reported number of
females is greater. One. extending from
about SO years of age to the end of life,
probably is due mainly to the longer
average life Of women; the other. from
16 to 25, probably is apparent rather
than real, and due mainly to the greater
number OF women who claim erroneous.
ly to belong to this age period.

BALD HEAD SAVES HIS LIFE
Reflection from Headlight on Drunken
Mans Shining Poll Gives En-
gineer Signal

Northport, Wash.-The vigilance OF
locomotive engineer, Charles F. Hoofer,
saved the life Of a man the other even
ing. AS his train swept round the
curve onto the long bridge crossing the
Columbia river, the headlight Of the en-
CINE fell upon something glittering be-
tween the guard rails across the bridge.
Hoover reversed his engine In time to
stop within ten feet OF the PROSTATE body
Of q bald-headed drunken man. Shak-
ing the fellow, the engineer and train
crew sought his name, but could get no
Ineligible answer. When he saw the
engine and was informed Of his narrow
escape from death, the man was par
TALLY sobered.
It was the reflection Of the engines
headlight from the mans bald head that
gave the signal. Had his hat been ON
his head, or had he laid down with his
feet toward the approaching engine, his
death would have been certain, as the
night was intensely dark and the pros
trate mans body mingled with the other
shadows on the bridge. The train crew
put the fellow on the pilot and brought
him to Northport, where he disappeared
without giving his name.

FERRY FOR DOVER CHANNEL
French and British Governments Plan
to Transport Railroad Trains
Across the Water.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. between the
British and French governments for
boat service that will carry whole rail-
road trains across the channel between
Dover and Calais are about complete,
and parliament will be asked to pass the
necessary bill. which there is no doubt
II will do. The expenses will be borne
by both the English and French govern
ment in equal shares.
Already plans have been submitted by
the Armstrong; and several other
shipbuilding concerns for twin screw
steamers large enough to transport
trains such distance. Hydraulic ele-
vators will be built to permit the em-
barking Of trains at low tide, and It Is
expected that the crossing Of the cham
mel will BE effected in less than 80 min
utes at speed Of about IA knots.
Since the success of the American
system Of ferryboats two lines have
been installed in Europe, one between
Copenhagen and Malino In Sweden. q
distance of % miles, and another be.
tween WaremuDde in Germany and
Gjeder In Denmark, line which has
greatly increased the commercial possi-
bilities of Germany
The distance from Dover to Calais Is
less than three times the distance from
Manhattan to Staten Island.

EUROPEAN CITY N ASIA.
Mysterious Community Discovered In
Turksstan Whose Rulers Are Fair
Haired and Caucasian.

st. Petersburg.-.A Russian explorer
who has just returned here after two
years wanderings in eastern Turkestan.
where no European has ever been be-
fore. gave an interesting lecture on his
experiences before the Imperial Geo.
graphical society.
The explorer, NJ Koznireff, declares
that In the great Tarim desert on the
north of Kashmir he has discovered a
mixed Caucasian and Mongolian race
ruled over by family Of purely Euro
pean appearances and customs.
I'm large oasis near the River
Khotan." he says, II came upon a Euro
pean town--that Is, town which would
have been European in the middle ages.
Guna, as is the name of the town, has
nearly 5000 Inhabitants, all with dis
tinctly European cast of features. They
spoke Turkish dialect which did not
understand, and were very attentive to
me, though they took my two native
guides to the outskirts of the town anu
promptly put them in jail The chief.
or king. OF this little state and all his
near relatives, are purely European In
physique, complexion and manners. The
king, wearing tunic and garment not
unlike Roman toga received me in a
large adobe house and conversed with
me by signs. He was handsome, fair
haired man Of about SO. When tried
to find out whether he knew anything Of

their ancestors had come from the west,
but would or could give no further In

INDIAN TALKS ON INDIANS.
Henry G. Cloud, an Educated Winnie
bago, Declares His Race Is Ca
pable Of Improvement.

Philadelphia, Pa.--Henry C. Cloud. q
full-bred Winnebago Indian, delivered
an address at public meeting of the
Phiiadelphia branch of the National
indian association here the other day.
He chose as his theme the growing
sentiment against the Indian as a
worker. either mental or physical. He
said:
when an Indian is being educated
he is taught that his people are inferior
to the whites, and consequently he
gradually estranges himself from his
family and countrymen. Finding.
then, that he can not intermingle with
the whites, either in social or bust.
ness way, he has no place to turn. The
Indians are not all drunkards, and do
not lack intelligence, but show highly
developed mental traits when given the
opportunity. This has been proved by
those of our race who have reached
high positions In this country.
There is only one sure and radical
solution to the Indian question, and
that is through this missionary asso-
citation. first, by their influence upon
the government in the interests of the
red man, and, second, by eliminating
the Great Spirit from his soul and in.
stillng him with the Christ spirit"

Old statute obsolsts.

London. The Judge and counsel In =
London court the other day argued the
question whether schoolmAster could
claim to be gentleman.
The schoolmaster's solicitor raised
the question In applying for his clients
costs as witness under the head OF
gentleman" or professional man." in
stead Of on the lower scale of trades
man" as ordered by the court registrar.
The Judge and counsel agreed that Black
stones definition Of a gentleman as "one
who bears arms" was obsolete, and the
counsel advocated the definition Of zone
who, by education. occupation, or in
come holds a position above mental
service or ordinary trade"
The Judge suggested that draper
making $4,000 year might be a perfect
gentleman in society, but would not be
a gentleman for the purpose OF the coun-
ty on high court scale, though man
with an Independent income Of $3.50
would.
Counsel maintained that his client
though without university degree, was
man Of educational attainments. Of re-
nnement, of artistic and literary attain
ments. an accomplished musician, the
proprietor Of large school, and, there
fore, gentleman.
The Judge, however, upheld the regis
trar, deciding the costs on the lower
scale. but comforting the schoolmaster
with the dictum that mo schoolmaster
must think he is insulted that he should
be no gentleman. That, in fact, he
he would only be no gentleman in law"

II was the hour before dawn. The

white and silent under its heavy mantle
If snow, narrates Judge.
Suddenly lights flashed and twinkled
IN the windows of the winter palace;
'leepy servants hurried to and fro; off,
,ers of the royal household were hastily
awakened and sent forth upon impor-

,rose and summoned the great council
If the empire. Aids and orderlies gal

alive with clerks and officials. Corre-
