CHICAGO WOMAN SHORTAGE.
Sunday School Census Shows Pre-
ponderance of Boys.
le Chicago Record Herald.


Is Chicago confronted by an approach
ing shortage of women? That the mex;
generation in this city will contain many
more men than women Is forecast by tire
scattering returns from the church census
taken in September by the COOK county
Sunday School Association
The figures are incomplete, ana seNerai
weeks must elapse before the association
will have canvassed the returns and b-
able to give out authentic information
But it was learned yesterday from the
reports of two OF three or the census
enumerators employed that while there
were at present more adult women tnan
men in Chicago. there were not nearly so
many girls as boys.
The report of the census enumerator
in one Of the subdivisions OF the third
precinct of the twenty-fifth ward show
that in that subdivision are 1,50o adult
women and 1.134 adult males; 12S young
women between the ages Of thirteen and
nineteen years, and lSS young men De-
tween the same ages, while or chiloren
between the ages or three ana tweiN o
years, ONLY 13l are girls, while az are
boys.
This might be explained on the basis
that the third precinct of the twenty-htth
ward is not thoroughly representauN .
district But reports from other pre-
cincts in other parts Of the city show the
same tendency"
The census enumerator for one or the
subdivisions of the seventh precinct OK
the sixth ward found 800 adult women To
619 men, flfty-three women between Tie
ages Of thirteen and nineteen years Ia
fifty-five young men between the same
ages, while of children between the aSes
of three and twelve there were only
sixty-four girls to seventy-nine boys.
A report on one of the subdivisions OF
the thirteenth precinct OF the thirty.
fourth ward shows 81 adult women II
3O3 men, and seventy-two young women
to sixty-six young men, but also shows
ONLY sixty-six little girls between three
and twelve years Of age, to ninety-hvs
BOYS Of similar ages.

One Of the most drastic provisions fol

in the recent Motu Proprio was tina,
which forbade in all ecclesiastical sem

ligious orders and congregations the read

all kinds, however orthodox or excellent

lowing letter to his eminence.
Your eminence'S letter, written also In
the name of all the bishops Of Hungary

dered me to communicate the following
decision to your eminence and the other
bishops The mind of our most holy
father Is that the law is to remain es-

the political affairs Of the day, or Of the
social and scientific questions which crop
up daily. and have not vet found a
definite solution-these. I say, are not to

hinder the superiors or professors of a
seminary, when scientific questions are
discussed, from reading to the students. or
to them to read in their pres
ence. articles from some newspapers or
periodicals which they may deem useful
or opportune for the instruction Of the
students. But periodicals which contain
nothing contentious. but only religious
news, the dispositions and DEGREES of the
holy see, the acts and ordinances of the
bishops, or others which, although period

THE MECCA PILGRIMAGE.
A Change of Route Decided on for
the Holy CARPET.

Cairo dispatch to the London Pail Mall Gazette.
At the present moment the thoughts
Of the whole Moslem world are turned
more intently toward Mecca, for this
Is the period of the annual pilgrimage
which it is incumbent upon every true
child Of the faith to make, at least once
In his lifetime. to the holy shrines sit
uated there. The ceremony of the holy
carpet-the covering for the kaba, the
most sacred part Of the shrine, which is
taken every year to Mecca-is now being
held in Cairo under the presidency of
the khedive, and November this
holy offering was handed over to the
Emir-el-Hagg and his military escort,
who conveyed it to it's resting place and
brought back with them last years
Offering.
Usually the caravan of the holy carpet
enbarks at Suez for Jeddah, whence it
pursues its way overland through an ex-
ceedingy hostile country to Mecca. Every
year the local tribes attack the caravan
and the escort has to resort to all man.
ner of devices to safeguard its charge.
One year it was held up in Mecca for
quite a long time. After the feast of
Courban Biaram has been celebrated, the
caravan proceeds to Medina, the site of
the prophets tomb. and then returns to
Egypt by way of Tor, after having
pufSeO us quarantine at tndC port. Wnere
an elaborate IaZarettO has been installed
under the control of the Egyptian gov
ernment
But tempora mutantur nos ct mu-
tamur in ILLS. and this year a deviation
is to be made from this ancient route.
The khedive. who. it will be remembered,
made the pilgrimage last year, has rec
commended the sultan to allow the cara
van to use the HedjaZ railway. and so
avoid the many dangers which always
menace it. The caravan will according
~ embark at Port Said for Haifa, whence
it will proceed along the new line. and
make its first stop at Medina. Thence
it will go to Mecca, journey of about
eleven days. and return to Cairo by way
of Jeddah and Tor. This new route en-
tails the holding Of the ceremonies week
earlier than usual, but this is well worth
the trouble.
The Mecca pilgrimage. is always an
anxious time for the authorities In
Egypt, as the pilgrims very often bring
with them cholera and plague. This
year especially very severe precautions
are being taken and a vigorous patrol
of the Red sea is being made to inter
cept those pilgrims who. afraid OF the
quarantine at Tor. may endeavor to cut
across the Egyptian coast In little blows
It was a pilgrim who introduced cholera
to Egypt in 1902 and started that ter
-ible epidemic which carried off SO many
thousands of Inhabitants.

Where Every One Faces Death.
n the Wide World Magazine

From the Wide World Magazine.
Everyw in New Guinea the traveller
is continually brought face to face with
death, and the natives are devoid of the
slightest pity or respect for the dead or
dying. although after a death they will
often wall and mourn for a considerable
time. Murder is an everyday occurrence
and nothing could be worse than the
morals Of the natives. In fact, they have
none; they thieve and lie with a persist
ence and cunning which is surprising
The Papuans have cheerful custom
which demands a life for life: should
any one die, at the first opportunity they
kill some one-they are not very particu-
lar whom-to make up for it. While We
were at Humboldt Bay Malay died of
dropsy; he was the first Malay who had
ever come to that part. and the Papuans
greatly respected him. Every WELL" they
said. I'VE must shoot Malay with our
bows and arrows to pay for his death
And, sooner or later. some innocent per-
son would be killed to square the ac-
count, when acknowledgements, presume
bly,, the victims friends-would be salts
fed.
