are required to learn regarding the
place of birth of native-born and
foreign-born persons, and other
personal facts concerning the lat
ter class, in taking the thirteenth
United States census, beginning
April Is, next, is fully set forth in
the printed instructions prepared
by the United States Census Bu-
reau to guide them in filling the
population schedule. It pointed
out that all the questions relate
only to conditions existing April
Is, the "Census Day"
On the subject of place of birth
off native born person the instrnc-
tions state that if the person was
born in the United States the

birth place was in what is now
known as German Poland, or Aus
trian Poland, or Russian Poland,
and he must write the answer ac-
cordingly as Poland Ger }, Poland
{ Aust. }, or Poland { RUSSO.
If the birth place reported is
Canada, the Enumeration is re-
quired to ask whether the person is
of English or French descent and
write Canada (Eng,) or Canada
Fr.) according to the answer.
The question calling for the year
of immigration to The United States
applies to all foreign-born persons,
male or female, of whatever age.
It should be answered, therefore,
for every person whose birth place
was in a foreign country, and the
Enumeration must enter the year
in which the person came to the
United States. If he has been in
the United States more than once,
the year of his first arrival must be
stated.
The inquiry whether naturalized
or alien applied only to foreign
born males twenty-one years of age
and over. 1t does not apply to fe-
males, to foreign born minors, or
to any male born in the United
States. If the person was born
abroad but has become a full citi-
zen either by taking out second or
final papers of naturalization or
through the naturalization of his
parents while he was under the age
of twenty-one years, the Enumera-
tor is to write "Na." for natural
ized). If he has declared his in
tention to become an American
citizen and taken ont his "frst
papers," the Enumeration is to
write CAL" for alien).
The inquiry as to the ability to
speak English applies to all per-
sons ten years of age or over. If
English is spoken, the Enumeration
must write English" in the prop
er column. If the person enumer-
ated is not able to speak English,
the Enumerator is required, in
such cases only, to write out the
name of the language spoken, as
French, German, Italian, etc. If
more than one language is spoken
by person who, however, does not
speak English, then the enumera-
tor is to write the name of that lam
guage which is his native language
or mother tongue.

Is There a Tail?

The orchestra will please suspend thing as a comets tail? That is to say. is that sword of light which streams away from Halleys comet for millions of miles apparently a thing of substance. or a mere optical illusion?
 This inquiry is justified. we think. by the stupefaction of the worlds astronomers and their inability to account for the fact that the earth did not pass through the "tair' of Halley's comet as they had predicted. Perahps in a day or two, when they have thought up and agreed upon working hypothesis. they will be able to explain things to our satisfaction; but according to the news of this morn- ing they are doing some vigorous guessing.
 There is at least some justification for layman doubting whether, after all. comet has tail M. Camille FIammarion. the French astronomer ventured the suggestion last week that perhaps the astronomers of the world. in their pursuit of comets tails have been chasing 8 veritable jack O lantern-that what appears to be the flaming tail of Halley's comet. for example, is nothing but an optical illusion. caused by the comets disturbance of the ether in it's mad whirl through interstellar space-disturbanc of the ether, and the play of the suns light upon the comet itself The trouble with NJ.

How Phoenix Does Thinos.

Yesterday was demonstrated again the manner in which Phoenix does things when an emergency calls for prompt action.
 It was necessary to take immediate steps toward assuring the prompt construction of great hotel Public spirited citizens were on hand and took the necessary steps. A commit tee was appointed to draft a plan of incorporating hotel company, and will report to d great mass meeting tomorrow afternoon at o'clock This ordinarily would have been all that anybody could expect. But there spirit which animated the people and it took the form of subscrip tions on the spot. Mir. J. C. Adams. coming from the still smoking ruins of his hotel-ruins which mutely tell of s10O,0O0 irretrievably lost; ruins which contain the ashes Of his life accumulations-was the nervy "J. C" of old. He promised To take care of s75.o00 in the stock of the new company. Without waiting for the committee to make it's Saturday re- port, the men present were determin- ed they would show their apprecia- ton of Mir.

 At tomorrows meeting of citizens the project of the new hotel will be definitely launched and it's success made a certainty Everybody recog- nizes that there is no time to be lost. and that the time is at hand for every citizen to put his shoulder to the wheel
 We must have the new hotel. We must have it ready for next winters business. and it must be the finest hotel in all the southwest. This is the program of the citizens who met yesterday. and they represented the unanimous sentiment of the town.

The Decline of the Orator,

Some of the jurors in the Hyde their verdict of guilty. have indicated that they were not influenced by the arguments of counsel. and that the evidence of the prisoner himself was the most influencial factor in leading them to decide that he was guilty. For example. he testified that he had been in the habit for ten years of purchasing cyanide of potassium from local drug stores. but with the excep- tion of the one store at which the state had shown he did purchase cy- anide just before Colonel Swope died, Dr. Hyde could not name place where any of his claimed purchases were made The jurors concluded that he was lying on this point. and they therefore rejected all the evi- dence he gave in behalf of himself.
 Hyde was defended by exceptionally able" counsel; his chief attorney is noted as a forensic orator. and the accounts of the trial stated that many of the jurors were in tears during a portion of his great speech. From this circumstance the inference was drawn that some of the jurymen, at least would stand out for acquittal. But it appears that the momentary disturbance of their emotions by the eloquence of the defendants counsel did not affect their reasoning when they retired to the jury room. IL is undoubtedly true that, as rule jury men nowadays place their own esti- mate on the evidence and the various developments Of the trial, instead Of depending very much upon the law yers' eloquence for guidance in reach ing verdict Men in the jury box and in every place where oratory can be heard are just as fond of hearing good speeches as ever But this fondness is merely their fondness for entertainment They think for themselves in the final analysis"
 This pronounced tendency of the people to think for themselves has placed the orator at a discount not only in the court room, but on the stump and in the halls of legislation. The public will eagerly listen to a great oration, or read it with sus- tained interest, but reserves the lib erty of rejecting the orators conclus- ions. Hence it has become necessary for the man in public life to make good with actions which meet public approval: he cannot hold his place by simply talking well. And the lawyer Of the past. who neglected to study and prepare his case and depended upon his eloquence to win his cases before the juries. finds that his place has been taken by the pains taking attorney who goes into court prepared and presents his evidence in convincing manner. It no longer is necessary for a successful lawyer to be an orator; indeed the captivating speaker is not nearly so forceful with a jury now as is the lawyer who is able in clear. simple and converse tional language to analyze, digest and present in logical sequence the arguments of his side of the case. He does not entertain the jury so well, but his telling points are re- membered in the jury room.
 It is well known, of course, that the habit of thinking for themselves which people have formed in late years is due to the wide circulation of newspapers. The constant reading of the worlds news forces the reader l to do more or less thinking.
