NO RECOUNT.
Census Figures Must Stand, Says
Durand.

In response to the protests of citi-
zens of Sumter as to the census of
population for that city, Representa-
tive Lever has been in communica-
ton with the census bureau with a
view of obtaining permission, either
for himself or an authorized dele
cation from Sumter, to inspect the
enumerators' returns, to ascertain il
error has been made. His efforts
have been unsuccessful thus far. The
censusu bureau informs him that:
"Since the poulation Of the United
States has been announced, it will be
impossible to make any change In
the official returns Of any place what
ever, as by so doing it would result
in changing the United States total
and throw out the calculation of
Congress with respect to the appor-
tionment of it's members.
Regret is expressed:
'If any injustice has been done to
Sumter, but even if omissions were
made in the enumeration it would
be impossible to add any names to
the schedules
With. respect to the Congress-
mans request to personally inspect
the enumerators' returns the bureau
replies:
"The returns of the enumerators
are treated as confidential, and are
accessible only to sworn employees Of
the bureau
Mr.. Lever is considering introduce
ing a resolution making the enumer-
ators' returns accessible to the pub
lie, under certain regulations, and
now has the matter up with a promi-
nent member of the committee on
the census.
These complaints as to popula-
tion from different cities in the State
and throughout the country are so
numerous as to make it seem neces-
sary to me-" said Representative
Lever, that the methods of the
methods of the bureau and the
results. of it's work should be more
open and certainly available for in
spection to the accredited Represen-
tative of the Congressional district.
If these returns are to be held as
inviolable secrets, with no oppor-
tunity for the public to inspect them,
such policy opens a way, if it does
not actually invite it, for gross er-
rors, if not actual fraud, in making
up the population of the country"
It is not charged by Mr.. Lever
that the returns are wrong or that
fraud has crept into them, "but, "
says he, when a protest comes up
as to the population Of half dozen
cities in one State, as is the case in
my own, it seems to throw some lit.
tie suspicion upon the correctness of
the returns, and gives justification
for legislation which will permit the
public to ascertain if the returns are,
in fact, correct. I am carefully con-
sidering the proposition in all of it's
phases, and shall, perhaps, introduce
a resolution which will meet the sit
uation."

NAY SEE CENSUS RETURNS.
Lever Attains Object Sought in Ref
ence to Sumter County.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Acting up
on the information contained in a
letter to him from acting director of
the census, Voler V. Viles, in which
the statement was made:
Il would add that the returns of
the enumerators are treated as con-
fidential and are accessible only to
sworn employees of the census bu-
reau;" Congressman Lever several
days ago introduced a resolution in
the House of representatives., seek
ing, under certain conditions, to
make such returns accessible to in
spection. 1t will be recalled that
there is a dissatisfaction in regard
to returns of last census with respect
to several cities of South Carolina
as well as at other points through
out the South. Believing that such
a policy of secrecy was both wrong
in itself and dangerous in the oppor-
tunities it might invite, Mr.. Levers
resolution made it mandatory upon
the director of the census to permit
inspection of the enumerators'
schedules, by accredited representa-
tives, for the purpose of testing
their accuracy. This morning Mr..
Lever in receipt of letter, some
what at length, from the director of
the census, Mr.. Durand, at variance
with the former letter of the acting
director.
Under the opinions, as contained
in this later letter, the ends sought
by Mr.. Lever are attained. Mr.. Du-
rand says:
81 beg to say that one paragraph
of that letter was written under a
misapprehension and does not cor
rectly state the policy of this bureau.
The letter stated that, because Of
the confidential character of the CEN
sus returns, permission could not be
granted to inspect them. It is true
that the details of the census returns
are confidential and that access to
them will not be given for the pur-
pose of securing details or for anv
purpose which could in any way tend
to injure the individuals furnishing
information. 1t has always been the
policy of the bureau, however, to per-
NIT inspection, under proper condi-
tions, of the names and addresses on
the schedules, for the purpose of de-
termining whether or not complete
enumeration has been had. l am
willing that any duly accredited rep
resentative of Sumter should inspect
the returns for that purpose here in
Washington, or to furnish a copy OF
the list of names secured, on pay
ment therefor"

BLUE APRON BLINDS GIRL.
Dye Of Garment, Wet with Tears.
Blamed-Sight Coming Back.

The strangest case of blindness
that ever occurred in Delaware is re-
ported from New Castle. The victim
is Sarah Schuhardt, aged 3, daugh.
ter of John Schuhardt. She cried
over some childish act and used her
blue apron, that had never been
washed, to dry her tears. Soon af-
terward poisoning developed in her
eyes and then she went blind.
Specialists have worked on the
queer case and it is announced that
the child will recover her sight. The
poison is believed to be the dye in
the unwashed apron.

Swiss frontier are armed with car
bines, and they are authorized to shoot

them. Any peasant caught with even
one pound of contraband tobacco is
sure of two years Imprisonment, be-
sides ruinous fine. Still, many are
found to run the risk. for the profits

FAD A HARD SKULL.
The Baseball Catcher Who Was tho
Original Bonehead.

original Bonehead.
Ed Ashenback. for many years a
manager of minor league teams. In
his book, "Humor Among the Minors"
claims to be the originator Of the ex-
preston "bonehead," which is now,
with its synonymous terms of solid
ivory" mahogany beam" concrete
dome" and cement SKULL" so common
in baseball.
Ashenback says that when he was
managing the Shreveport team of the
Southern league some years ago he
had a catcher who could hit some,
but who had the very serious weak
ness OF not being able to gauge foul
ball no matter how easy it was.
One day a batter raised a high foul
directly over the plate, and the catch
er, misiudging it, was hit squaSely on
top of the head by the descending
sphere. which knocked off his mask
and bounded away some thirty feet.
That night Ashenback finished his
supper early and was passing out of
the dining room when he happened to
walk behind this catcher, who was de-
vouring his evening meal with gusto
and enthusiasm Stopping at the Ia
BILE, Ed passed his hands over the
backstop's head. feeling for the bump
which he thought would surely be
there on account of the contact with
the ball that afternoon. But there
was no lump to be felt. mo wonder"
said Ash. "How could there be a
bump? Your head is solid bone"

FELT SORRY FOR HIS MULE.
But That Was Before the Grizzly Made
His Attack.

His Attack.
In a trip over the Sierra Ne7adas a
Californian took with him not only his
favorite horse, but mule named Billy.
Billy was large iron gray mule Of the
pack variety and had more than once
made the trip.
On the second day In the mountains
the owner tethered Billy to a tree, al
lowing him about twenty feet range
where there was good feed. and then
took a seat on a fallen tree not far
away to eat his own lunch. He had
finished his meal and was half doing
when suddenly the mule reared and
snorted loudly. His owner sprang to
his feet and looked about.
Not ten feet off stood huge grizzly
bear, evidently with designs on the
owner Of the mule. That individual
rushed for the nearest tree and made
good time In climbing 1t. He yeas safe
for the nonce, but how about Billy?
How could the tethered mule defend
himself?
To his owners surprise Billy dropped
his head after a moment and resumed
feeding as If oblivious Of the grizzly's
proximity. As for the bear, he stood
still for several minutes, his eyes wan
dering from the man in the tree to
Billy. The mules composed demeanor
evidently puzzled him.
BY and by the grizzly started to make
a circuit of the tree to which the mule
was tethered. Billy continued to nib
BILE grass, but kept an eye on the enc
my's movements. The bear emitted a
series of deep growls, then opened his
great mouth and disclosed two rows Of
ugly teeth.
Slowly the great creature advanced
upon the mule. Billy still continued
to Craze, his back toward the bear.
Nearer came the grizzly and still near
er. The mule stopped feeding From
his perch the Californian watched the
scene with GREATNESS interest He felt
sorry for his mule
Finally the bear stopped, rose on his
hind quarters and prepared to strike.
AT that moment the mule, at whose
stupidity his owner had wondered.
sprang forward, and the grizzly's paws
struck empty air.
Then the man In the tree saw gray
form double itself into ball and
bound upward. 1t was the mules
turn. Out of that ball flew two iron
shod hoofs, which shot back and forth
with the regularity of piston rods. with
a thump. thump, thump. against the
body of the grizzly. which was COM
pletely Off its guard.
He was hit all over-on his head, on
his shoulder. on his side. on his back

seeming utterly incapable of getting
away. and when Billy stopped kicking
the breath of life was gone from the
bears body.

FOX HUNTING IN ENGLAND.
1t is More Than a Sport; II 10 Sort
of Religion.

1t is More Than Sport; II 10 a Sort
Of Religion.
In England sport is not only reli-
gion; 1t is the religion. If man is a
good sportsman he need not be any
thing else. 1t may seem hyperbolical
to describe fox hunting as a religion
and the fox as deity, but 1t is bare,
bald exactitude. The true fox hunt
ing sportsman exhibits all the attri-
butes of the devotee, the fanatic, the
martyr. He is ready to die for his
faith. | am sure he would cheerfully
allow himself to be burned alive rath-
err than hunt bag of aniseed. His
friends would cut him dead If they
suspected him of treason to the pure
ideal of fox hunting His clubs would
refrigerate him. He would be a mark
ed man. He would be a pariah, an
outcast, a bounder. an outsider.
The power of the caste of fox hunt
ers is as formidable as the power OF
the various Indian castles. 1t Is
mightier engine than the law. for II is
driven by public opinion. The county
would ostracize the wretch caught In
the act OF violating the fox hunting
code. His career would be ended
Never more could he hold up his head
He would be a leper. The faint Of
aniseed would hang about him for.
