Leads to Happy Marriage

II so happened that was pas
senger on the steamer Scott, from
the deck of which the famous
Barney Barnato either fell or threw
himself overheard, and was drown
ed, D." said William Harper, who has
lived years in Paris, in talking with
a Post reporter at the Arlington.
Barney Barnato was one of the
greatest diamond kings the world
has ever known, but for months
prior 10 his tragic death he had
been scarcely responsible for his
acts. He drank champagne from
the time he rose III the morning
until late at night, and probably
he would have died in a madhouse
if the sea had not claimed him.
Connected with his death, how
ever, was a pretty romance. As he
fell into the ocean the fourth officer
of the ship saw him 90 over, and
with out a thought of personal
danger, plunged in to rescue Bar
nato, not knowing who he was.
The waves were running high at
the time, and it was beyond human
strength 10 afford any assistance.
A boat was lowered, took up both
men, the young officer almost dead
and the other with life extinct.
Now it happened that among the
passengers was a beautiful girl to
whom the gallant sailor had paid
devoted attention in Cape town.
She returned his affections but a
stern old father vetoed a marriage
proposition, and was taking her to
her old home in England 10 cure
his daughters infatuation.
When the passengers aboard re-
allied that an act of superlative gal
lantry had been committed the
fourth officer became Immediately
a hero. A subscription was taken
up for him, and there being num-
Der of rich people aboard, the tidy
sum of s., ZOO was realized. The
stern father himself was a generous
subscriber. and when the young
man came into his presence he no
longer acted the part of the austere
and tyrannical parent. Well, the
upshot of il was that other people
learned how matters stood. and

papa's mind had wholly changed,
and he had spoken those entranc-
ing words: God bless you, my
children, which was followed by a
speedy wedding.
But the young officers luck
did not end there. Friends at Cape
Town catching the enthusiasm made
up another $1,000 donation, which
was duplicated BY other admirers
in the diamond fields. and finally
he got a handsome bequest from
Barney Barnato's estate. So the
sad fate of the unfortunate South
African millionaire brought hap
piness and union TO two souls that
would probably have been other

SEX AND AGE IN THE CENSUS OF
1900.


Men are In the majority In the
United States 10 the extent OF 2f6 IN
each 10000 OF the population. accord
ing 10 n bulletin issued by the Gen.
sus Bureau. In 1890 the excess OF
males was 242. The divisions OF con.
tinental United States with the small
est proportion of males are the Dis
trict OF Columbia (i7.4 per cent?.
Massachusetts, (2s.7 per cent?, and
Rhode Island (4s.1 per cent?; those
with the largest are Wyoming (G2.9
per cent?, and Montana (6i.G per
cent?. A curious divergence OF sexes
appears In the returns for city and
country districts. In the cAfes hav-
ing q population OF 2,5UO or more IN
1890 there were 6,s29 more males
than females; In 1900 this proportion
had been reversed and the females In
cities of this size were 2ol,s5e In ex.
cess. As against this change the ex-
cess OF 1,5l9,559 males In country dis

there are n few more females than
males, among the Indians few more
males than females. About i've
nlnths OF the immigrants are males.
The excess Of males in the total
population In offset TO some extent
by the longer age Of females. In the
