PEOPLE IN ALMSHoUSES.
Ratio Of Paupers to Population is De-
creasinR.

According to~a report issued by the CEN
sus bureau there were in the United States
in 1904, 1863. 176 persons in almshouses ana
of these 111,Sl7 were males. Although the
number of almshouse paupers is increasing,
the increase has not kept pace with the
growth of the population and consequently
the ratio of almshouse paupers to popula-
ton Is decreasing. In 1880 1t was 132 per
100000 Of population; 1t decreased to III In
1890 and to 1O1 in 1908.
While pauperism is less prevalent among
females than among males, the chlef ols
tinction between the two sexes seems TO be
that females having once entered an aims
house are there permanently. while men
are, to a large extent, only winter board
ers''
Negro paupers do not constitute so large
a proportion of the almshouse population
as negroes form of the general population.
The foreign born whites whose economic
position is not high, show greater ten
dency towards pauperism than the native
whites of native parentage and native
whites of foreign parentage.
Commenting on this tact, the report says
There is, however, no reason to believe
that many immigrants drift into aims
houses soon after their arrival in the
United States, for only two per cent of all
the foreign born in almshouses had been In
this country less than five years. Among
the different nationalities of foreign born
whites the degree of thrift, combined with
racial characteristics, seems to determine,
in large part. the tendency towards pauper-
ISM"
OF the paupers forty-eight per cent had
been laborers and servants, nineteen per
cent engaged in manufacturing and me-
chanical industries, and twenty-eight per
cent occupied with agriculture, transporta-
ton, and other outdoor pursuits. More
than three-fourths of the female pauperS
had been servants.

SERIOUSLY WOUNDED.
Man Runs Into Street With Shears
Sticking in His Back.

The sight of man running through the
streets with heavy pair of tailor's shears
Embedded in his back attracted the atten-
ton of a number of pedestrians in the vicin-
ity of 9th and F streets northwest this
morning about O. clock. The man who at
tracted so much attention was Max Harri-
son, twenty-one years of age. living at 90a
r street northwest. He tainted, and had to
be cared for by colored man until the ar
rival of an ambulance, when he was re-
moved TO the Emergency Hospital. 1t was
found by the physicians that wound about
four inches deep had been inflicted.
Max Gerber, thirty-three years of age,
who lives al 63S G street northwest, was
arrested and taken to the first precinct
station, to be held to answer for the alleged
assault.
II just tossed the shears at him this
way" said the prisoner to Policeman DER
kolph motioning with his hands, but l
don't know whether / stuck him or not.
The men were employed in tailoring
establishment at COS F street. and were at
work this morning before the arrival OF the
proprietor. 1t is said they had some words
about pressing clothing, one accusing the
other of being too slow with his work. me
use OF the shears followed the quarrel, ana
the wounded man ran from the place, not
stopping to remove the instrument.
When the message was sent to the EmeF-
gency Hospital asking that the ambulance
be sent to remove the wounded man TO the
hospital a message also found Its way 10
the first precinct telling of the trouble
Bicycle Policeman Dierkolph hurried to the
. tailoring establishment and arrested Ger
Der The latter had made no EFFORT 10
escape, thinking the affair was a trl1llns
one and that not much harm could possibly
have been done. A charge of assault was
preferred against him, and he will be ar
raigned before Judge Kimball tomorrow.

NEW NAVY RATION.
It Will Be Better Than That Of Any
Service in the World.

IN the latest naval appropriation act pro-
vision was made for a change of the naval
ration, and the bureau of supplies and ac-
counts has prepared a ration in accordance
with the legislation. 1t is now asserted
that the United States navy has better
ration than any army or navy in the world.
The advantage of the present ration Is that
II is more flexible and makes 1t unnecessary
to issue combinations to sailors In place of
a regular ration. Added to the former ra-
ton are preserved and fresh fruits, fresh
milk. flavoring extracts, fresh fish. sauce.
The amount of timed vegetables has been
increased, while decrease has been made
in macaroni. pickles, rice and syrup.

ORDER MAY BE ISSUED SOON.
Proposed Inclusion Of Internal Revenue
Service in Classified Service.

The civil service commission has decided
to recommend the inclusion of the interna
revenue service In the classified service
and 1t is expected that an order carrying
the plan into effect will be issued within
the next few weeks. This branch of the
public service is one of the few remaining
to which the civil service regulations dc
not apply. The law was extended to 1t by
President Cleveland. but there We're sc
many complaints against the political eff
feet of the order that President Mckinley
revoked it soon after he went into Office
except so far as 1t applied to storekeepers
and gaugers receiving salaries higher than
$500 year. If the change Is made 1t will
affect several thousand persons.

CONGRESS MAY DIG CANAL.
Severe Criticfsm Caused President
to Refer Ditch Digging Back
to Legislative Branch.

Washington, Jan. 9.-The Senate
gave attention Monday to the Panama
Canal, the situation in Santo Domingo
and the Merchant Marine shipping
bill.
The canal question came up In con-
nection with message from the presi-
dent in which among other things he
invited the closest scrutiny into all that
had been done by the government
in the Isthmus of Panama. Mr.. Cor
man made that utterance the text for
a speech in which he criticised the sal
aries paid for work In connection with
the canal and urged congressional IN
quiry. He said that the president was
not SO much to blame as congress for
his assumption of control on the 18th
mus, and that the chief mistake had
been made when congress released its
hold upon canal affairs. Mr.. Hale
agreed with Mr.. German in urging the
assertion of the rights Of congress
in connection with the canal and said
that while congress had delegated the
matter to the president the latter prac-
tically had referred the whole matter
back to congress.
