The action OF the chief was in d.

by Assistant Attorney General Harry

Washington. Aug. S.-By the middle
Of October. but scarcely before, the
people OF the United States will know
their own number as revealed by the
thirteenth census.
The figures will not be given out
until the count is entirely completed
and infinitely verified, and by that
time every man who keeps tab" will
know the total for himself, for the de-
tails for all such subdivisions as
states cities and counties will have

II so disposed. he could ascertain ap-
proximately the number OF people

Ninety Million Is Guess.

The process is moving forward ra-
pidIy. and when 1t is completed the
population of the United States could
be easily determined by footing up
the totals arrived at Mr.. Durand is
not having the figures totaled. and he
says that il is his purpose not to do
so. He is not curious as to the out
come of his work. Nor will he make a
prediction as to what the result should
be. II Is known that the census off,
Gals generally fall in with the idea
that there are about 90,0O0,000 people
in the United States.
Between the census of 1890 and that
of 1900 there was an increase OF
about 100000. and only slightly
larger increase would now be neces-
sary to bring the figure up to the 3d.
100000 mark. This result Is arrived at
by a purely arithmetical calculation,
and not by any compilation of the fig
ures recently taken.
About 200 nimble fingered young
men and women are engaged night
and day in determining the figures
which. when the final computation Is
made. will show the total population.
All told, there are some 1900 clerks
employed in the census Office in the
compilation Of all the facts gathered
by the recent census; but, while the
greatest activity is directed toward
the ascertainment OF the population.
there is still much doing in other d.
rections. Indeed, a large number OF
those at work in the population dlvi'
sion are engaged in classifying the
facts relative to the sex. age, race and
other conditions in connection with
the people numbered. Also, there are
many employed In the manufacturing.
agricultural and mining branches.
The first announcements will cover
only enumeration figures, and these
will continue for the next two months
and a half. The sociological and indus
trial figures will come later and Will
be announced as a rule In special bull
letins prepared by the bureau itself.
So far about s6.O0O.00O have been
expended upon 1t. and II Is probable
that the total cost will be about $751;

SUFFRAGETTES IN OLD ROME.
Women we're asserting themselves
in Rome in 1876 B. c., just as they
are today After the battle OF
Cannae the Orphan law was passed
forbidding any woman ito have more
than half an ounce OF gold. to wear
parti-colored garment or TO ride IN
chariot within the city or within
half a mile OF Il, except for religious
purposes The women az first denied
themselves for the good OF Rome, but
when the war ended and prosperity
returned they refused TO obey the
law They combined for the repeal
OF the law, and marched to the
Forum In crowds, demanding that
they be permitted to adorn them
selves as they pleased. The situa-
ton enraged Cato, who demanded:
Are your ways more winning in pub
lie than I'm private and with Other
wOmen's husbands than your own"
Again he wrote 1--WE, by our pres.
cEt action, II the gods permit it,
are letting them appear in the ForIm
and take a hand at public meetings
and In the voting booths" And adj
dressing himself bluntly to his fell
low Romans, he wrote: Pray, what
will they not assail II they carry this
point? Tell me, II you let them seize
privileges and wrest them from you
one by one, and finally become your
equals, 90 YOU think that you can
stand them? AS soon as they have
begun TO be your equals they will be
your superiors." Alas, for poor Cato!
The women had their way, for the

nous vote Of the assembly
