LARGER CITIES DISAPPOINTED Expected Heavier Gains in Population. THREE STATES COMPLETED Michigan Shows Gain of 389,191, or 16.1 Per Cent; Oklahoma 861,560, or 109 Per Cent, and Rhode Island 114,118, or 26.6 Per Cent—St. Louis, Cincinnati and Pittsburg Fall Below Expectations. Washington, Aug. 29.—The popula- tion of the state of Michigan is 2,810, 173, an increase of 389,191, or 16.1 per cent, as compared with 2,420,962 in 1900. Other states for which complete fig- ures have been made public are Okla- homa and Rhode Island. The popula- ‘“don of Oklahoma has increased from 790,391 to 1,651,951, This is a gain of 361,560, or 109 per cent. The popula- tion of Rhode Island in 1900 was 428, 556, as compared with 542,674 this year. The increase from 1900 to 1910 in Rhode Island is 114,118, or 26.6 per cent. Despite the fact that census experts declare the growth of cities in the past decade has been out of all pro- portion to the increase of population in urban districts most of the large cities for which returns have been made public are disappointed. St. Louis, for example, expected to exceed the 700,000 mark. Her popula- tion is 687,029, as compared with 575,- 238 in 1900. This is an increase of a little over 19 per cent. In the decade between 1900 and 1910 the population of Cincinnati in- creased only 11 per cent—from 325,902 to 364,463. Pittsburg is also included among the disappointed cities. In the decade ended with 1910 the popula- tion of that city increased 18 per cent, as compared with an increase of 31 per cent in the preceding decade. The latest official returns give Pittsburg a population of 533,935, as compared with 51,912 in 1900. Among the larger cities for which census results have been made public Detroit, Indianapolis, St. Paul and Milwaukee show healthy rates of gain, as follows: Detroit, 63 per cent; Indianapolis, 38.1 per cent; St. Paul, 31.7 per cent, and Milwaukee, 31 per cent. NO REASON MADE PUBLIC Swedish Minister to the United States Is Recalled. Stockholm, Aug. 29.—Herman de Lagercrantz, the Swedish minister to the United States has, it was an- nounced here, been recalled. He was appointed in January, 1907. ‘Washington, Aug. 29.—State depart- ment officials profess to be entirely ignorant of the reasons which prompt- ed the Swedish government to recall Mr. Lagercrantz from the Washington mission. As far as known his resi- dence here has been without embar- rassing incidents and his services ren- dered to his country were regarded generally as being satisfactory. The department has not been informed offi- cially of the recall. Mr. Lagercrantz, his wife and two daughters left Washington for Europe last June and have not returned. ® (] MISS MARTHA SANDAGER Obeo Soloist with the Na- vassar Ladies’ Band at the State Fair, Sept. 2 to 10. After Kindling Wood Trust, New York, Aug. 29.—The govern. ment Is preparing to begin actions against forty defendants as members of a kindling wood trust which is said to control a business of more than $25,000,000 a year, according to an announcement made here by an offl- cial of the department of justice. Fire Causes Half Million Loss. Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 29.—Fire to- tally destroved the saw mill plant of E. J. McNeely & Co., vausing a loss estimated at $550,000. Public Cup Barred From Schools. ‘Winona, Minn.,, Aug. 29.—The board of education has passed a resolution which makes it compulsory for public school pupils to bring their own drink- ing cups. Boiled water will be pro- vided, but those who fail to bring their own cups-will not be allowed to drink in the buildings. Runaway Cause of Two Deaths. Joliet, I, Aug. 29.—Mrs. Adolph Johnson, wife of a building contractor, and her two-year-old daughter were drowned and Johnson and a six-year- old son barely escaped death as a re- sult of a runaway, in which the car- riage in which they were riding plunged into an abandoned guarry near here. = In Praise of the Eskimos. Commander Peary in the narrative describing his discovery of the north pole devotes a very long chapter to the Eskimos, with whom he has bad Intimate dealings for eighteen years. He tells us that though they are sav- ages they are not savage; that though they are without government they are not lawless; that though they are un educated they exhibit a remarkable degree of intelligence. He assures us that they have no religion, yet he describes them as destitute of vice and ready to share their last meal with the hungry. He thinks it would be impos- sible to Christianize them, but they al- ready possess the cardinal graces of faith, hope and charity, for *without them they could never survive the six months' night and the other rigors of their home.” The Greatest Historian. By common consent the greatest of all historians in Thucydides, the Greek contemporary of Pericles and author of the history of the Peloponnesian war. One of the greatest tributes that can be paid to him is that, according to the estimate of a very able critic, we have a more exact account of a long and eventful period by Thucyd Ides than we have of any period in miodern history, equally long and event- ful. and yet all this is compressed into a single volume. For concise, vigor ous and yet intense presentation Thu cydides has never been equaled. He is easily the king of historians.—New York American. The Professional View. An English physician of whom many stories are in circulation may not be as unsympathetic as a recent anec- dote seems to make him, He is a spe- cialist on all sorts of mental disturb- ances and the fits; spasms and con- vulsions which sometimes accompany them. One of his patients, a most ex- citable person, if suddenly alarmed or distressed, would fall into a curious comatose state from which she could not be roused until the effect of the shock had passed. "The physiclan had been summoned again and again, but it always happened that he was away from home at the time, and before he arrived on the scene of action the pa- tient had recovered. At last one night he was summoned and arrived at the house while the woman was still un- conscious. He hurried upstairs and into the room where she was lying on the couch. He looked at her, and an expression of interest overspread his face. “Now, this,” he said in his most cheerful tone—“this is something likel” : Whistler's Ways. It was Whistler's custom when drowsy to go deliberately to sleep, no matter where or what the circum- stances might be. At one dinner party his gentle snore suddenly aroused his neighbor, who nudged him violently with his elbow. “I say, Whistler,” be protested excitedly, “you must not sleep here!” “Leave me alone!” snapped Whis- tler. “I've said all 1 wanted to. I've no interest at all In what you and your friends have to say.” One evening he was my guest at dinner at a hotel. Edwin A. Abbey was also there. Right after dinner Whistler went calmly to sleep. On the way ‘to the theater he enjoyed an- other nap in the cab, and he slumber- ed peacefully through the greater part of the play. The next morning he blandly asked me: “What did Abbey bave to say last night? Anything worth while?’—Century. “Charms” In Cornwall. Coruwall, England, is a county of “charms.” *“The passing of children through holes In the earth, rocks or trees, once un established rite, 1s still practiced i various parts of Corn- wall” wrote Thomas Q. Couch about fifty years ago. “With us boils are cured by creeping ou the hands and knees benenth a bramble which has grown into the soil at both ends. Chil- dren afilicted with hernia are still passed through a slit In an ash sapling before sunrise, fasting, after which the slit portions are bound up, and as they unite so the malady is cured. The ash Is indeed a tree of many virtues. Venomous reptiles are never known to rest under its shadow, and a single blow from an ash stick is instant death to an adder. Struck by a bough of any other tree. the reptile is said to retain marks of life until the sun goes down.” The Cavity. Cholly—The dentist told me.l had a large cavity that needed ftilling. Kthei —Did he recommend any special course ot study? % Diversity of opinfon proves that things.are only what we !hlnk them.— mnldno. " The Sting of a Bn. An enstern fable tells of a potentate who demanded that there should be’ brought to him the stings of a thou- sand bees killed because one of their colony had dared commit lese majesty by stinging the hand ‘ot royalty. When they were brought in a tiny golden thimble the king was so amazed to find that a thousand’ of the hypoder- mic points made such a iittle mass that he issued a manifesto to the ef- fect that thereafter no person within the bounds of the kingdom should complain at the sting of a bee. The lesson of the fable is that petty an- noyances hurt because they are exag- gerated in the mind; that when they are seen In their actual proportions they are so slight as to merit only contempt. How much comfort would come to the majority of persons if they could but see the tiny size of the bee stings that lead them to acts of petulance, words of anger, expressions of reproach. The bee sting annoy- ances have caused lifelong breaches of friendship. They have broken up fam- llles and caused anger and resentment to take the place of love and fealty.— Baltimore American, The Mis: ppi of Streets. A street is like a river, with its hu- man current carrying all manner of drift between its banks of residences or shops on either side. And if this simile be appropriate then New York’s Broadway Is the Mississippi of streets. Probably no other avenue in the world presents so many contrasts in the flot- sam and jetsam it carries from Har- lem to the Battery. Every type of hu- manity—uprooted saplings from farms and orchards, proud hulled craft in sliks and satins—may be described in the surging mass. Banker and boot- black, the swaggering swell and the draggled derelict, walk shoulder to shoulder—rush, rather, for Broadway is a maelstrom, the embodiment of New York’s bustle and hurry, the place where wothing can stand still. Rich- ard Harding Davis once sald that everybody “seems to be trying to reach the bank to have a check cashed be- fore 3 o’clock.” — George Selbel in Pittsburg Gazette-Times, Queer Collateral. “Here is a fact as strange as it s true,” said an Egyptologist. “Mum- mies in ancient Egypt were used chief- Iy as collateral. “When an Egyptian wanted to bor- row he gave his father’s or grand- father’'s mummy as security. Some- times, if he required a large sum, he gave his father and both grandfathers, and he would even throw In the mum- my of his mother-in-law if she for- tunately happened to be In a mummi- fied state. “Joking aside,” the Egyptologist con- tinued, *“what 1 tell you is the truth. An Egyptian was not permitted to borrow without pledging the mummy of some near relative. It was deemed in Egypt both impious and Infamous not to redeem so sacred a pledge as that, and be who died with a family mummy still in pawn was himself buried in unconsecrated ground.”—Cin- cinnati Enquirer. The Postage Stamp. Consider the postage stamp. It says nothing regarding the difficulty of the task assigned to it, but by dint of close application it usually gets there; also it delivers the goods. Again, If ove isu't enough to carry the thing through. two or more by working harmoniously together see the thing to a finish. No matter if the (mail) matter be weighty, it puts a good face (of Wash- ington) on it and goes directly to the point. It gets licked and stamped upon, and men besmirch its fair fea- tures and ofttimes give it more to carry than the (postal) union allows. But, in spite of all this, it sticks un- flinchingly to the matter in hand by virtue of the fact that it knows that it has good backing. Its stick-to-it-ivity is worthy of em- ulation by you.—Judge's Library. Water Colors. Water color painting was gradually raised from the hard, dry style of the eighteenth century to its present bril- liancy by the efforts of Nicholson, Cop- ley, Sanley and others. The Water Color soclety’s exhibitions began in 1805 and may be said to mark the real beginning of modern water color paint- ing. The great master, if not creator, of the art was the celebrated Turner, of whom we read so much in the works of John Ruskin.—Exchange. How Old They Were. “1 see you employ a number of old men.” “1 do” “How old are they?” *Too 01d to be Interested in canoeing or mandolins or race horses or girls or tennls. That makes them fine for work.”—Washington Herald. Rather. The subjoined item appeared in a French newspaper: “There was found in the river this morning the body of a soldier cut to pieces and sewed up In a sack. ‘I'he clrcumistances seem to preclude any suspicion of suicide.” Customs and Habits.
