AFTER LONG SERVICE
Dennis Horigan Leaves the
Naval Observatory.
/ FOR YEARS A WATCHMAN
Appointed to the Position in August,
1858.
RECENTLY LOST A LEG

FOR YEARS A WATCHMAN
RECENTLY LOST A LEG

Dennis Horigan has resigned his posi-
ton as Waterman at the United States
Naval Observatory after a record of nearly
i ffty-two years Of faithful and credtable
service. He was born in Ireland, but
has been a resident of Georgetown since
! his boyhood. In August, 1858. he was APP
! pointed a Waterman at the Naval OBJ
! xervatory then located on the riverside
/ hill at the foot of oath street, and con-
tinued to serve in that capacity after the
establishment of the observatory on its
/ present site on Massachusetts avenue. OF
! recent years he was on the night force,
and it was part of his duty to record
, the changes in the barometer during his
tour of the building. He was very much
interested in his work, and gained quite a
reputation among his friends as a weather
prophet. He had no connection, however,
with the weather bureau, which is a bu-
reau of the Agricultural Department.
Injuries Cause Loss of Leg.
This deplorable closing" said Mr.. Hor-
i igan in his letter of resignation, lis
caused by the loss of my right leg below
the knee. incident to a fall on the morn
!, ing of January Ii last, at 3 o'clock, in the
line of my duty. l regret this sudden
severance of duties and associations with
the observatory prolonged during an
eventfu period of nearly fifty-two years,
which were variable and onerous, but
most congenial to myself and, 1 trust,
useful to the government and agreeable
to those with whom 1 came in contact"
Mr.. Horigan was born in Ireland ami
came to this country from County Cork
in 1851. 1t was not very long after
that when he was employed by the
Naval Observatory. He was landscape
gardener by training, and while he was
employed by the Naval Observatory he
was working at his other calling about
TO the older generation of Washing
tonianS.
Liked His Work.
1t was not long after Mr. Horigan
settled in Washington that he picked
out the spot where he is now living on
= street near the p street bridge and
built house. The ground in that re-
gfon has greatly appreciated in value,
so that he now is very comfortably off
and has held his position at the Naval
observatory more because he liked the
work and association than because he
needed to continue.
His present injury was the result OF
q fall and although it incapacitatc:i
him for active work he is otherwise IN
excellent health. He has many personal
!recollections Of the Naval Observatory
lsuch as do not get into the official re-
port.

Booth, OF Chowan circuit, acknow-

missionary and conference funds
amounting to about 5000, that he
had fled to New Jersey and could
not return the money. Charges were
INN ediately preferred and trial or

who was highly regarded by his con-

In the Commoner W. J. Bryan crit
..cises the New York World for its
rraise of the class ct leaders elect
eaa in November, saying:
1.-THE bred of leaders whom men
of intelligence can follow Is, ac-
cording to The World. that charac-
ter of men whose environment has
In many cases made them believe,
and in some cases caused them to
pretend to believe, that only sane,
progressie and cautious, according
t. the vintage of 1910, and the only
safe and sane, according TO the vim
tage of 1904, government is that
dominated by the special interests.
1.-THE New York World way 20
complete rehabilitation of the DEM
ccratic party is indeed simple. The
trail is indeed plainly blazed. 1t is
the way the Democratic party looked
when in 1892 it marched through a
slaughter-house to a bloody grave,
as Henry Watterson put it. And the
trail is the trail Of 1904 plainly
PLACED by the New York World and
other champions OF safe and sane
Democrat.
What is the thing the New York
World calls Bryan Socialism from
which in The Worlds view the party
has been emanciapated?
t''Democrats will better under
stand the meaning Of The World and
It's followers If they use the latest
Democratic national platform as a
calcium light in which to read the
purpose of these organizers.
In turn Mr.. Bryan asks The
World what changes it would make
! in the last national platform; would
It repeal the plank concerning trusts,
J change the railroad planks, oppose
popular election of Senators, favor
ship subsidy, and he concludes, "the
fault Is that when The World pleads
for a sane, progressive and cautious
Democrat 1t means just as it meant
In 1904, a Democrat that holds the
world Of promise to the peoples ear
only to break it to their hope: a
Democrat that represents special in

Democracy that spells ruin to the

Population of United States May
Reach Stated Figures.


The total population Of the Unit
ed States. as revealed by the 18th
census, is expected to be announced
by the census bureau on December

Counting Arizona and New Mex
leo as States, the totals for twenty
eight out OF the forty eight
States already have been an
nounced. The grand total for &c
Of these States is 60,036, 759, which
Is gain OF between 21 and % per
cent over the population in The same
States in 1900. At this rate OF in
crease the total population Of the
country should be about 91,000,-
900.
The most striking development Of
the census so far shown Is the rela-
tive growth Of cities ard industrial
centres compared with farming re-
lions. The Eastern States have more
than held their own, while the States
ol the Middle West have fallen of. .
