The Senate Apportio n m e Mt.

One of the important results Of the
census of 1910 will be the reapportion-
ment of state senators. According to
the fourth article of amendment to the
State Constitution the Senate must be
composed of thirty members. Each
county is entitled to one senator and
the remainder of the senators are to be
apportioned according to population,
regard being always had to the count
les having the greatest fraction.
According to the census of 1900 the
population of the State was 343, GAL.
Divided by 80, the number of senators,
IA, Asa is found to be the population re-
quired for a member of the Senate
This ratio permitted the apportionment
of senators as follows: Addison, 2;
Bennington, 2; Caledonia, 2; Chitten-
den, 3; Essex, l; Franklin, 2; Grand
Isle, l. Lamoille, / Orange 2; Orleans,
2; Rutland, a; Washington, 3; Wind
ham, z; Windsor, 3.
Grand Isle county, with a population
of 4462, and Essex with S506, fell con-
siderably below the number required for
a senator, but under the Constitution
they were entitled to representation.
Rutland had the largest population of
any county, and although it was not
quite four times the ratio of II Asa its
fraction of 94S7 over the number re-
quired for three senators was the larg-
est of any county. Six counties OBJ
, tanned a member on the strength of
fractions large enough to secure one ad-
ditional senator. These We're Addison,
Bennington, Orange, Orleans, Rutland,
and Windsor. In other words these six
counties lacked an exact multiple of
IL ,454, giving them two, four, or three
senators, as the case might be, but
their fraction of the ratio was so large
that they obtained their present repre-
sentation.
The only change in the apportionment
from the basis of the census of 1890 to
that of 1900 was the loss of one senator
by Franklin county and the gain of one
by Washington county. Under the cen
sus of 1900 Addison, Essex, Grand Isle,

Chittenden, Franklin, Washington,
Windham, and Windsor counties showed
an increase of population. With two
exceptions the increase was small, ano
it was as follows: Bennington, 1857
Caledonia, 945, Chittenden, 4211; Frank
lin, 443; Washington, TOOL; Windham,
113; Windsor, SIG. 1t will be seen thai
Washington county showed by far the
largest gain, and Chittenden ranked
next.

DEATH OF REV. DIR. JONES'
Noted Clersymen who died at
Bread Loafln Inn.

The Philadelphia Public Ledger of
Monday, August %, contained the fol-
lowing:
The body of the Rev. DR.. j. Spar
hawk Jones, who died in Bread Loaf,
VT, on Saturday. was brought here
yesterday and taken to his home at 1914
Pine street. The funeral services will
be held this morning in the Calvary
Presbyterian Church at Fifteenth and
Locust streets, of which he had been
pastor II years. The Rev. E. j. Hun
ston, of Oak Lane, will .officate. The
interment will take place in Glencoe,
Md.
''Presbyterians regarded the Rev. DR..
Jones as their most brilliant preacher.
This was also the testimony of Profess
or Orr, the distinguished Scottish theo-
Logan, when he visited Philadelphia two
years ago.
50 On the other side we consider
Doctor Jones the ablest Presbyterian
preacher in America he told a group
of ministers.
"Curiously enough, DIR. JONES' repu-
tation was not bolstered up by a mag
netic personality and splendid oratorical
powers. He lacked both. The effect
he produced upon an audience was adj
mirably illustrated in a recent address
he delivered before the Ministerial I'm
ion of Philadelphia. The majority of

gregational and Reformed ministers

manuscript, and his voice was so low
pitched that those in the rear of the
room experienced difficulty in hearing.
| His personality was about as inspiring
as that of Sir Henry Irving, the English
actor, whom he slightly resembled. His
delivery was continually interrupted by
a raucous cough, and he fumbled the
sheets of his manuscript in manner
! that annoyed many of his hearers.
But gradually the audience began to
forget the outward imperfections of the
speaker and give attention to what he
was reading. Then the room became
intensely quiet. Not a minister moved
in his seat or shuffied his feet lest a
word should be missed. Doctor Jones
was speaking of mans preparation for
heaven while upon earth; of the ecstasy
of the soul-life when the body was re-
lieved of its load of sin; of the Joy of
character building for the higher life
beyond.
"Under the spell of his words il

TOURING CAR HIT BEAR.
Animal Tossed on Hood of the
Auto.
Jounce in the Road Sent Him OFF
After Time.

Bangor, Me-, Aug. 16.-After tour
ing through the wilds of Maine for two
weeks without seeing or hearing any,
thing startling, a New York party had
an experience early this morning that
fairly made their hair stand on end. 1t
was collision with bear.
The party, composed of Edward l..
Hopkins and wife of New York, John
P. Fassett of New York and Miss
Marion Gordon, of Philadelphia, were
returning in a touring car from north
ern Maine Monday night they staid
at farmhouse in Milo, and early this
morning they resumed their journey
toward Bangor About 9 O'Clock while
in the town of Lagrange Is miles north
of Bangor, the car was going at the
rate of 80 miles an hour down a steep
hill, at the foot of which the road
thickly bordered with bushes, turns
sharply to the right.
Just as the car reached the turn, Mr.
Hopkins, who was driving, was startled
to see huge bear break out of the
bushes little way ahead and start di-
rectly across the highway There was
no time TO low down and Hopkins had
his choice of two things ditching the
car with the risk of smashing it and
injuring all hands or striking the bear
He decided to take a chance with the
bear and an instant later while the
women shrieked in terror the big car
hit bruin squarely amidships. Mr.. Hop
kins had expected that the force of the
impact would toss the bear to one side,
but something quite different happened.
The bear, 400-pounder, gave one loud
grunt and Topped over onto the hood
of the car, growing and scratching and
in that manner was carried along for
quite distance until the car struck a
jounce in the road and gave a Jump
that bounced the bear off. The animal
fell under the right wheel, thus turning
the car into the ditch.
The occupants were not at all injured
and the car, only slightly damaged, was
soon righted with jack.
Meanwhile the bear, which had been
dazed by the blow, had got upon its
feet, turned few dizzy circles and
waddled off into the woods.
The party resumed the trip to Ban
gor, halted here for lunch and slight
repairs to the car and proceeded on
their way to New York soon after noon.
Mr.. Hopkins said that in all his sew
eral years experience of touring Maine
this was the first time that he had ever

boarded it.
There were about a dozen girls and
women in the car. The men stood up
and held fast to the straps. They made

Conductor Heater walked into the car
and asked them for their fares. The
three male passengers replied that they
had no seats and were not going to pay
their fare.
Heater pointed to the empty seats
and told them to sit down. They re-
fused to do so. When the conductor
again requested their fare the men be-

Heater saw that he was about to be

car and went after the men with q

but it had a good effect. Thu men be-
