SEES REPUBLICAN VICTORY. E State Central Committee Hears Good
 Reports from the State.

That a republican victory all along the-line is coming next Tuesday was the unanimous verdict of the repub- lican state central committee follow ing it's meeting Thursday afternoon at the Allyn house, Hartford. The re- ports from the districts represented were very encouraging and indicated marked republican gains since the last meeting of the committee. Rallies everywhere have been featurd by great enthusiasm and the average person seems to believe that republicanism is in <he air
 Another thing, even more strongly marked, is the falling off in the pro- gressive vote. This apparently will be even larger than was at first thought. The progressive rallies are but slimly attended and the speakers find it very difficult to awaken any enthusiasm. Manx of the progressives have signi- fled their intention of voting the re- publican ticket, declaring that they have had enough of voting to spite their own face.
 Among those who were present from the districts at the meeting were the following:
 Eighteenth, L. T. Saunders, proxy for William J. Brennan, New London: 1: Twentieth. George H. Bradford, Mont vile, Twenty ninth, Charles A. Gates, Windham Thirty fifth. William H. Hall, Willington.

IN ALMHousEs
 OF THE COUNTRY Government Has Enumerated 94,1e8 Paupers on January 1st 1910.

washington, D. C., October 30.-Ac- cording to a report which is soon to be issued by William J. Harris, direc- tor of the bureau of the census, de- partment of commerce, 4198r paul pers were enumerated in almshouses in the United States on January 1, 1910, and SS,313 were admitted during the year. The number of almshouse paupers in the United States increased thrce per cent. between 1904 and 1910, and the number of annual admissions to almshouses increased S.5 per cent, while the total population of the country increased 12,4 per cent. during the same period.
 rba ratio of almshouse paupers to population has steadily declined at date for which comparable figures are available. The census report, be : ing confined to a study of inmates of alTnshouse, does not include in mates of any other institution or recipients of outdoor relief Accord ingly. the number of paupers re- ported is not a measure of the ex- tent of poverty in community, be- cause it depends on the adequacy of the supply of almshouses or the pre- vailing policy in regard to outdoor relief, on climatic conditions and on the existence or number of special in stitutioDs for children and for phy- sical and mental detectives.
 Age of Paupers.
 About one-third of the paupers enumerated on Jan. 1, 1910. were under 55 years of age;. about one : third, between 55 and s69 years and about one third, :, 70 years of age and about one-thifd, 70 years of age and over. The 3ratiog of alInsh duses pau Wlth.e advancing age. about one per- son in 50 above sS 80 years of age be- ing an inmate of an almshouse. The propoTtion off ailnshouse paupers in the younger ageH groups, in fact in al age groups under S50- years. de clined from, census to census indi- eating that young persons become inmates epf almsh hotsess in fewer cases now than formerly. In 1880 more than half ofathes paupers were under 5hi years of age; in 1910 oRly about one -fonrth.- s : 4-4gss,ssss- E e --. Sex and MaritaI Condition. or the total Enuinber' of paupsrs |enumeratedt in an1nsnouses on Jan. 1, E1910, there were 57,o4s males and during that year 67. .195 were males and 2l.118 females. w The ratio of Epaupers per 10Q.906 population Of the same sex was 1905 for males and SOS for females, among the inmates on given date.
 AoI-P VI AtAElACS PCI LUu 1SHldiGS among alnshouse paupers increased stea dily from 1880 when it was 116l to 1910 when it was 210. Thus the males outnurnber the females two to one in almshouses and the tendency is toward an Increasing preponder- anee of males. This probably is due largely to the development of special institutions for the care of indigent women.
 Single persons are relatively more numerous among adult aimshouse paupers than in the general adult population
 Immigrant 7aupers.
 The foreign born in 1910 formed f6.3 per cent. of the total white pop ulation of sthe United States. but they formed 42.6 per cent. of the paupers enumerated in almshouses on Jan. 1,
