SAD PLIGHT Of
BOY FROM
MILTON
Came Here Surprising He
was 10
ing House For S1.25
Per Week.

A boy from Milton, who gave his
name to the police as George Thomas,
was taken into custody yesterday af-
ternoOn by the police. No charge was
docketed against him, and his arrest
was more safe keeping until home
could be found for him than for any
offense which he had committed.
The boy. who is very ignorant,
came here yesterday morning from
his home in Milton He had received
an offer of S125 a week to work in
what he thought was a boarding
house, and he got together enough
money to reach the city, and went to
the place where he was to work He
had Just about reached there when a
police officer accOsted him and in
uuired as TO what his intentions were
The boy explained that this was
where he was to work, and the officer,
considering that a resort of such a
nature in the toughest district of the
city. was no place for boy of such
years. sent him to the police station.
There Mayor Bliss saw the boy and
recognized him at once as the young
ster whom he had sent back TO his
home in Milton some months since
The boy stated that his father needed
help. being somewhat of an invalid,
and that he desired to come to the
city and work. He said he had never
gone to school and did not know his
age. He appeared to be about II
years of age
The mayor Immediately got in
communication with citizens who are
charitabIy inclined and it is probable
that the boy will be provided with
good home.

Sanitary Inspectors Have
Completed the Census

ORED, WHILE THE FEMALES
OF BOTH RACES ARE ABOUT
FIVE HUNDRED IN EXCESS OF
THE MALES.

City sanitary inspectors, who have
been engaged for the past month or
six weeks in taking the census OF
Pensacola, have completed their
work. and the reports which are being
compiled by the city health officer
snow very satisfactory increase in
the population of the city Although
the compilation of these reports has
not quite been completed, that por-
ton relating to the population was
finished yesterday afternoon.
The census gives Pensacola a total
of 22,640 population. This only in
cludes permanent residents of both
races, and is an increase of over SO
per cent. according to the last United
States census taken in 1900, which is
considered a very satisfactory
growth.
The white and colored population
of Pensacola is almost equally di-
vided, there being 11,734 whites as
against 1896 colored. OF the total
number of both races 11,577 are fe-
males and II, 063 are males, the former
being in the majority by over five
hundred.
Work Was Thorough.
The taking of the census by the
sanitary inspectors was very thor
ough. Not only the number of occu-
pants of each house was recorded, but
also the size of the residence. the

Population by Sections.
The city was divided into four sec
tons or districts, with Palafox street
as the dividing line for east and west
and Gregory street as the line for
north and south. The district west
of Palafox and south of Gregory is
shown as having population of A.
$40; east of PalafoX and south OF
Gregory to have a population of A.
PSI; north of Gregory and west OF
Palafox contains 1888 souls, while
north of Gregory and east of Palafox
has a population of 1856. The latter
takes in the East Hill section which
has grown remarkably in the past
few years. In fact the greatest in
crease in population is in this section.
The census also shows the city to
be in a very good sanitary condition,
and the health Of the residents excep'
tionally good.

Mobile club officials and enlist their
support in behalf of Pensacola Al
present the Cotton States League is
composed of Mobile, Meridian, Vicks-

is the desire of the league to increase
this to an eight club league, and as
Columbus, Miss. has made applica-
ton this can be done. provided Pen
Sacola does likewise.
The league last year furnished fine
sport to the cities in the circuit, and
had a very successful season, and it

creased and the attendance much
larger should the number Of clubs be
increased to eight.
No Sunday Baseball.
The Pensacola club will not play
baseball on Sunday or make any ef-
fort to do so, and this was the Senti-
ment expressed at the meeting last
night. 1t is believed by those be-

The total salary limit for one club IN
the league is S1,100 per month which
will allow the club to secure a team OF
fast players. II is the desire to Or

Oils N. G.
LARGE SHIPMENTS OF OIL Ex-
AHMED AT WAHPEToN AND
fIANkINsoN AND RE
JEcTED ias

An attempt to ship lareg consign-
ment of poor oil into North Dakota
has been foiled by the recently APP
pointed oil inspectors at Wahpeton
and Hankinson. Several cars of oil
were brought into Hankinson a few!
days ago and when some was in
spected by: Deputy Inspector Studin-
5icka Of that place, it was found to be
way below grade, and SStudinicka
promptly decided to reject it.. Be-
fore doing so, however, he notified
Frank A. Wilson, state oil inspector,
and a second test was made under his
supervision. This second test show
ed the oil to be of very poor grade
and it was promptly sent out of the
state. The company shipping the oil
has done but little business in the
state which may account for the fact
that its product fell so far below re-
quirements of the North Dakota law.
4 AT Walpeton three car loads of oil
were received and the contents found
to be a little below grade. The cars
were held until there was second
test made in the presence of State
Oil Inspector Wilson, when portion
of the oil was found to be of suffi-
Gent quality to permit its being used
in North Dakota, and was accordingly
permitted to pass while the remain
der was sent back.
