w ASHINGTON.-Real wicked and

night, were slain before the eyes of
President Roosevelt, in the east room
of the White House, the other evening,

utilized to perform this feat.
The wolves were not stationary, but
in actual motion. The entire affair
was so realistic that some of the dis
tinguished guests invited to witness
the performance SHE'D toward the win
dows, thinking they would rather
chance a leap in the dark than the
animals In sight. <F.i-lo
John Alternately, the far famed wolf
killer and western guide, oficiated as
stage manager and did all the killing.
His alone were the naked hands that

When Mr.. Roosevelt first came to
Washington, DR.. Schick, pastor of the
German Reformed congregation, which
occupied a modest little building hard
ly more than a chapel, wrote to him
and said that as there was no Dutch
Reformed church in Washington, he
would be pleased If Mr.. Roosevelt
would worship with his flock.
Mr.. Roosevelt was not then presi-
dent of the United States. He wrote
and said that he would come to his
church, and nearly every Sunday
morning he can be found in his pew
taking part in the service and listen
ing to DR.. Schick's sermons. Members
of the congregation say that President
Roosevelt has a. liking fol, certain
hymns and that he joins Justify In the
singing of them. There is no choir in
DR.. Schick's church, the music being
rendered entirely by the congregation.

1t is thought that II DR.. Schick's at
tention is called to the fact that Mr..
Sherman is in the same position re-
ligiously as was Mr.. Roosevelt he will
send him an invitation to become a
member of his flock during his Wash
ingtOn residence.

Estimated Cost of Taking New Census

Of the thirteenth census proper, ex
elusive of the four annual and the two
biennial reports, would be $18, 750, 900,
nearly sc, 5000, 900 more than the direc-
tor estimates the actual cost will be.
An important means of bringing
about this saving is the fact that the
bureau wifi build and own. the neces-
sary tabulating apparatus instead of
renting 1T as heretofore. On July 1.
1905, the apparatus which had been
used in tabulating the census. of 1900
and which was owned and operated by
"a private company was Withdrawn
from the bureau of the census be-
cause the company and the director
could not agree on the rental. The
withdrawal of the machines compelled
the director to ask congress for an
appropriation for experimental work
in developing new mechanisms to be
owned, controlled, and operated by
the government. The results of this
experimental work have exceeded all
expectations. The new mechanisms
invented are novel In plan and design,
are Of greater speed and efficiency
than those they supersede, and can
be built and operated at {. saving in.
