LIVING IN DARKNESS
CENSUS TELLS OF THOUSANDS
 TOTALLY BLIND.
Deprivation of Sight Most Common Among the Foreign 6orn-victims Of Deafness and the Causes
 for Affliction,

There are many enlightening and interesting facts and figures in the special report of the deaf and blind in this country, which s. N. D. North, director of the bureau of the census has submitted to the department of commerce and labor. The preliminary data for the report were collected by the enumerators in 1900 and from them inquiries were made with more definite results.
 The report states that in 1900 there were, as near as could be verified 35.- 645 persons in the country totally blind. and 29,11S partially blind In New England there were 2,7S9 totally blind, and in Massachusetts 1 ,260 to- tally blind and 957 partially so.
 The percentage of the blind is con- siderably greater among foreign born whites than among the native popula- tion, owing principally to the differ enee in the age distribution of the two classes. The percentage of blind ness is greater in colored people than in the whites.
 Of the totally blind 2,317 were bhnd from birth, and 2,0Si blind after birth. but under two years of age. Of the totally blind 13.122 are single, and 12,- 459 married. A large majority of the partially blind are married.
 Nearly 1900 of the totally blind are children of cousins, but total blindness occurs with somewhat greater fret queney among those whose parents are not related.
 Thirty-six per cent of the totally band have attended school, and 16 per cent of those ten years old or over are gainfully employed Cataracts. old age. injuries. accidents, operations, af- fections of nervous apparatus, sore eyes and neuralgia were found to be the principal causes of blindness.
 The report gives the number of to- tally deaf in 1900 as 37,426, and those who could hear loudly y-shouted conver- sation 51,S61. The deaf and dumb number q ,369, and the blind and deaf 2,772. Deafness was found to occur most frequently under 20 years of age, anu Oue-Ndll or the dedt IOSt tHelr hearing under the age of II.
 The tables show a large proportion of deaf in the New England states, especially Maine. New Hampshire and Vermont. Scarlet fever, measles and other diseases causing inflammation in the middle ear are the predominating causes, especially in Vermont and New Hampshire, and congenital deaf ness is frequent in Maine.
 Of the totally deaf S027 could speak well, 5,917 imperfectly and the re- mainder not at all. The majority of the deaf are males, but as there are more men than women in the world, this fact is not to be marveled at. Catarrh is the most frequent cause of deafness, then comes scarlet fever with a heavy percentage, then dis eases of the ear, meningitis, colds, measles, brain and typhoid levers
 Nearly half of the deaf over 20 are gainfully employed, large percentage In professional service.

SOCIALISM FAILURE
 ON ITALIAN ESTATE.
Especial to the Gold Dlgger.)

Especial to the Gold Digger.)
 ROME, July 9.-An experiment in socialism, undertaken by Duke Pom peo Litta in Lombardy has proved that the Italian peasant is not ripe for Uto- plan schemes for his bettermen After eight years of saciolism, the Duke is applying to the courts to regain pos session of his land which he had let in small lots at nominal rent to peas ant families.
 When the Duke inaugurated his land reform he had come from Germany, where he had imbibed socialistic ideas from Rebel and the other German so- cialists. Their teachings he put in practice on his return to the ancient estate of his ancestors, where the peasants still lived in a sort of feudal state.
 He dispossessed the large tenants of their holdings, and divided them up to 137 families of the peasants for cul- tivation. At first the scheme was suc- cessful, and the peasants prospered, but recently they became indolent, and abandoning their crops, began to cut down the woods, which the Duke had stipulated should be left untouched.
 The peasants were also tempered with by socialist delegates. who urged them to claim ownership and refuse to work. This brought about the final failure of Duke Pompeo's dream of so- cialism. He is still hopeful, however, that he will be able to introduce a genuine and permanent reform in the future.

OPERATORS COMBINE
 TO DRAIN SUNSET

The pooling of the interests of the Sunset Creek miners, for the purpose of draining the different properties, which was denied by Jake Berger in Saturdays issue of the Gold Digger, seems after all to really exist.
 James Rogan, who is a property owner on Sunset, stated yesterday that compSny of the mining men had banded Themselves together for the ex- press purpose of draining their mines
 He said that papers of incorporation had not been taken out but that it was definitely decided to put in and maintain a bedrock drain running from the mines to low point on the creek

fifteen claims in that region, Jafet Lindeberg who is interested with Sutherland Brothers and Watson, Der ger and Sullivan's partners in the oakdale lease, Daily and Payne and Rogan himself are behind the plan, and Rogan says that it will certainly be carried out.
 A ditch deep in the bedrock for a distance of one mile, and having a capacity of several thousand inches of water will have to be dug, and will cost great deal of money.
 However, it is considered to be a le 2 expensive manner of handling the water than the method of pumping witch is now in use.
