Hudson Fulton celebration in New
York. It is estimated that fully O.
100000 persons actually saw the pro-
cession and that 100000 more were
deprived of a view of 1t mainly be-
cause OF their lack of space. These
are stupendOus figures, but are borne
out by careful estimates made by the
police and the city's transportation
officials. All street railway records
were broken. The subway and ele-
waited lines carried 100000 passen-
gers during the day Seats on the
grand stands along Fifth avenue sold
at prices from 81 to S25, and seats in
all kinds of vehicles, including trucks
and ice wagons, went at stiff prices.

Kelley was not killed outright.
The accident is said to have been
caused by a mistake in orders given

was known as a limited, had been
held up for an hour at grade cross
ing at Mars, Pa, until the tracks
there had been cleared of wreckage
caused by q freight car on the Balti-

tracks.
When the line was clear the car
was ordered to go on through to this

the northbound car, running on the
best schedule it could make. crashed
into the oncoming limited at a curve
near Bryant Station, throwing the
trucks of both cars off the rails.
owing to the curve in the road.
neither motorman knew of the APP

to lessen the shock by applying the
alrbrakes and remaining bravely at
their posts.
Doctors were hurried to the scene
of the wreck, and the dead and seri-
ously injured were removed to hos
pital in Butler, Pa. All the passen-

en- in this country, to as in the same
area in 1900, according to a volume
now being prepared by the Census
Bureau.
OF especial interest from a socio.
logical point of view are those statis-
tics in the book which deal with fam.
lily life. In 1890 families composed
of no more than three persons repre-.
sented but one-fourth of the entire
number of families, while in 1900
families of similar size made up near.
ly forty per cent. of all families.
Families composed of six or more
persons represented in 1890 more
than one-half, but in 1900 scarcely
more than one-fourth of the families
enumerated.
On the basis of the proportion
shown in 1890 there would have been
in continental United States in 1900
39,500,000 children, whereas there
were less than 24,0O0,0O0.
In 1890 the Smiths led all the rest,

families followed in the sequence Civ.

THIRTY-TWO LIONS SIGHTED
WHERE ROOSEVELT WILL GO
Despatch From British Africa Tells of the Good
poets For Big Game---Great Plans For Wei
come to the Former President.

Mombasa, British East Africa
Mombasa is preparing already to well
come Theodore Roosevelt, and his
coming has given decided impetus
to the interest in the present hunt
ing season.
The Governor of the protectorate,
Lieutenant-C Colonel Sir James Hayes
Sadler, is arranging program of
welcome and entertainment for the
distinguished visitor, but in spite of
these arrangements the greeting to
Mr. Roosevelt will be more to the
great sportsman, whose fame Is well
known to local hunters, than to the
former President.
East African sportsmen were high
ly gratified to learn that Mr.. Roose-
welt had refused the offer of the au-
thorities to grant him special hunt
ing license that would have permitted
him to kill game to an unlimited ex-
tent instead of confining himself to
the two elephants, two rhinoceroses,
two hippopotami, ETC., of the regular
license. Lions and leopards are
classed as vermin and consequently
no license to kill them is required.
The white population of Mombasa
has heard much of Mr.. Roosevelt's
personality, and in joking way fire.
quent references to the "big stick"
are being made.
The rains are late this year, and a
heavy fall is expected (the regular
time for the ''big rains" is from the
end of January to the end of April).
The prospects for good hunting this
season are considered excellent. Many
of the settlers in the outlying dis
tricts. realizing the increasing inter-
est in the prospects for sport because
of the coming of Mr.. Roosevelt. are
voluntarily sending in information
about the movements of game.
According to a dispatch received
here a record group of lions, number
ing thirty-two, was seen on the Nandi
plateau recently at a point about fifty
miles north of Port Florence (the
Nandi plateau is on the west side of
the great Rift Valley. Among them
are three huge males. Four families
of giraffes have been seen at Maxim
du, 200 miles inland from here on
the line of the Uganda Railroad. and
elephants have been seen at Elbur-
gon, ATS miles inland on the railroad.
