in SPITE or EARTHQUAKE.

Washington, Nov. l7.-In connection
with the announcement from the popu-
lation Of San Francisco, the director Of
the census said the original returns
contained 420.434 names, but Of these
on investigation BY the census bureau,
1892 were eliminated There was
found no evidence Of intentional fraud
Oh the part Of the enumerators.
~The principal classes Of names
eliminated. says Director Durand,
were those Of persons on vessels not
having San Francisco as their home
port, fishermen absent on the high
seas whose names were obtained from
their employers and not from their
boarding house or other places Of resi-
deuce, and persons whose names were
obtained from employment agencies
having been sent BY such agencies to
work outside Of the city prior to cen
sus day.
The population Of Frisco in 1900
was 342,7S2, making the increase 74s

pox than we do to combat typhoid An
unlsind commentator might remark that
we are more concerned about our com
plexious than about our lives. But It
would perhaps be a truer explanation
10 say that we are more sensible Of
our power over smallpox than we are
OF our power over typhoid. Every one,
even The philistine, admits that we
can do much TO prevent and check the
spread Of smallpox. But there IS a
very considerable number who cling to
the notion thar typhoid Is kind OF yisi-
tation against which luck is our only
shield. AS to smallpox the connection
between cause and effect is seen, and
everywhere admitted. Typhoid BY
many Is saIl regarded as largely acct
dental This. We imagine, is the expla-
nation of the very singular fact that
We put forth greater efforts to safe
guard against mild disease than we
do TO safeguard ourselves against a
very deadly one.
Yet the causes OF typhoid have been
established just All certainly as the
causes Of smallpox have been. Medi.
cal authorities are agreed, If not with
absolute nnanimity, at least with an
extraordinary approach or Hnanimiiy,
that typhoid is caused by a germ taken
into the stomach. The germ may be
taken in with food upon which ii has
been deposited BY those industrious
scayeBgers. flies. or 1t may be aalSen in
with drink. milk and water, but particu
larly water. ii this werc not a demon
