FAMOUS SPRINGS TAKEN OVER
New HOrk's Governor Signs Bill
Making Saratoga a State
Reservation.

One OF the last measures to receive the
signature Of Governor Hughes Of New
YORK was Senator Brackets, establishing
a state reservation at Saratoga to preserve
the mineral springs which have made that
resort famous. The bill creates a commits
sion OF three TO select the lands and springs
which are to be taken over by the state,
and the governor Immediately appointed as
such commission Edward M. Shepard of
New York, Spencer Trask of Saratoga and
Frank N. Godfrey of Olean. The last
named is master of the State Grange.
In signing the Bracket bill the governor
was impressed with the danger which
threatens the springs through the extrac-
ton of gas from the water for commercial
purpose. He was shown before the Iegisla-
ture last year that the flow of some OF
the springs had been nearly stopped, and
that nearly all the water was treated arti-
ncially to make 1t Parketable.
Experience in THIS country and abroad. ~
Governor Hughes says In his memorandum
on the bill, has shown the advissbnlty
Of governmental Intervention with respect
TO mineral springs Of established thera-
peutic value, which the r~ivalries OF private
enterprise can destroy, but can never re-
place, From a proper point Of view he
present condition Of the natural mineral
springs at Saratoga is a matter Of grave
concern to the State as a whole"
The commission is authorized to secure
such properties as may be taken to in
sure the preservation and restoration Of
the springs. The purchases are TO be met
by a sale of bonds, the total amount
fixed by the act being 100000. The state
will derive a revenue from concessions ana
leases or from sales OF wateT.-Hew York

chief commodity carried. 1t is inconceiv-
able that other nations can so on at the
expense Of America winning trade tri-
umphs with a commodity which they do
not naturally possess. which they cannot
obtain in sufficient quantities outside OF
the United States and which they could
not manufacture at a profit but for the
fact that we sell the product near and at
times even below the cost of raising it.
An analysis of this trade in cotton
goods reveals that of our exports more
than six million dollars worth consists
OF unbleached cloths, while of our inn
ports more than twenty-five million dol
lars worth consists of finer fabrics, in
Guiding enlhroideries, laces and curtains.
Altogether the figures show that while
we exported In the ten months ended with
October, 1905. twenty-five million dollars
worth of the output Of OUT cotton mills
the nations sold to us almost one hundred
per cent moro than we sold them.
1t is a grotesque and almost unbeliev-
able item in the commerce OF this age
that resOurceful nation like America. the
producer OF the worlds cotton, should
buy back two dollars worth OF cotton
goods for every dollars worth 1t ships
abroad. Now is the time for American
statesmen, American genius to awaken.
The dawn of the cotton century is here.

oD-r1ME HAND WEAVING.
Effort to Revive Art and Improve
It at Ashevllle.

From the Baltimore Sun.
A dispatch from Asheville, N. c., says
that Mrs. George w. Vanderbilt. the lady
Of Biltmore. has revived the art OF hand
weaving among the women OF the neigh
borhood All that 1t was necessary for
her to do was to find market for the
products of the hand looms, and the old
machines. if so simple an appliance can
be called a machine, We're brought out
OF the lumber rooms and garrets and put
to work. But Mrs. Vanderbilt could only
find, a few women. and they generally
very old ones, who could operate the
looms, and these she organized into
corps of instructors for the younger
ones. The fabrics manufactured In the
old days before the civil war on these
hand looms were OF the most sue esta,, "a!
and enduring character. and a frock or
a suit Of clothes made from them would
last the Wearer many years. But. OF
course, it is the tedious process. and
when the great wooden mills OF the towns
offered their cloths, which while new
looked better than the homemade goods,
at very low prices, it drove the hand
looms out Of business. The cheap cotton
warp was what accomplished the ruin
of the home industry. But the goods
from the mills, such as were sold at
low prices to the country people, have
no sort of comparison In warmth or dur
ability with the homemade cloth. Mrs.
Vanderbilt, 1t is said. has directed the
attention Of some fashionable fork in
New York and Washington to the ex-
celience Of tho homemade cloth. and II
she succeeds in making it fashionable the
old industry will be re-established.
In the tidewater counties of Maryland,
where slaves were numerous, the hand
loom on the plantation was common.
The wool clipped from the sheep on the
farm was made into clothing for the
people of the farm, and on every farm
there was a spinning wheel. upon w..i.n
some old woman spun the yarn that
others knitted in warm, heavy stockings
In the western counties. where slaves
We've comparatively few and the women
on the farm had less time for weaving,
there were-small wooden mills il each
neighborhood to which the farmers car
ried their own wool and had it woven
into cloth. linseys and blankets or spun
into yarn for the women to knit into
stockings in the winter evenings The
color:ng OF all the fabrics made at the
hand looms or in the wooen mills was
done according to order. and that mace
for the women was usually brilliant and
nearly all dyed, except the blue, with
homemade dyes.

INDOOR WALKING.
Surprising Figures Disclosed b,
Hotel Keepers Pedometer.

From the New York Sun.
How far do you wal in a day? Not in
the street. not even outdoors. but in your
house or place of business? 1t is safe
bet that few busy persons could come
within a mile Of telling.
The manager of one Of the largest no.
tells in New York decided some time ago
to find out exactly how much indoor
walking he did, SO he bought pedometer
and carried it with him on his daily
rounds. He seldom walks up or down a
stairway. using the elevators for perpen-
dicular travel, but he does visit every
part Of his building at least once day.
The pedometer experiment convinced
him after a weeks trial that his walking
about the hotel alone amounted to from
eight to eleven miles day.
Now let some active housekeeper who
does part Of her own work apply the
same test How many miles day would

PREPARING TO TAKE CENSUS
INSTRUCTIONS SOON TO BE rs
SUED TO THE POLICE.
Collecting Data Will Be Completed
by April IS, But Compilation
May Take Several Weeks.

The annual census OF the District Will
be taken by the police next month and
will be ended by the 18th. Preparations
are being made for the work and instruc-
lions regarding the taking of the census
will be issued by Maj. Sylvester within
the next few days. A certain number Of
policemen from each police precinct will
be detailed to visit every house In the
District, taking the name of every resi-
dent.
Not only names of adults will be taken,
but children of the grade school age,
from eight to fourteen years. the period
prescribed in the child labor law, instead
Of the former period OF ages from seven
to fifteen years. This matter was de-
cided upon at a conference between Com
missioner Macfarland and Maj. Sylvester
Although the work of obtaining the
names will be finished April 13. 1t will take
several weeks to tabulate them and as
semble all of the data gathered by the
policemen. 1t is believed by many that
the result of the work will show an in
crease in the population over the increase
last year. when it was 9.S12.
According to the report last year the
population was 339. 4O3 -241 $40 whites and
97.4s3 colored, The population of the
numbered squares in the city. exclusive
of alleys. was 24S.O96. the alley popuia-
ton was 15.6s1. The population Of the
county of Washington, exclusive of al
leys. was 75,41s and the alleys 2Os. The
excess of females over males was, white,
1874: colored. S,931.
The children not attending school,
seven years and over and under fifteen
years. was, white !6 and colored 214
The population of all the ten police pre-
cincts. except the first, showed an in
crease. In that precinct there was a. de-
crease of 252. which was due to the fact
that number OF dwellings were replaced
by modern business houses. The great
est Increase was in the tenth precinct,
lhich covers the northwest section of the
city. there being 1857 more persons than
