Superintendent Porter’s Characteristic Letter Praising His Assistants. ‘The completion of the count of the popula- tion of the country by the Census Office was celebrated Saturday evening at Glen Echo. The section chiefs of the population di- vision, where the count was made, were entertained at dinner by Mr. Hollerith, the inventor of the electric machines used in making the count. After the dinner a number of toasts were responded to. Mr. Hollerith ex- pressed his appreciation of the efficiency afd ability of the employes of the office, and said that the success of the machines was largely due to them. Mr. W. C. Hunt, the special agent in charge of the division; Mr. Sutther- land and others made bright little speeches. ‘A letter was read from Superintendent Porter. who was unable to be present. He wrote as follows: CELEBRATING A GREAT EVENT. “Jt may not have occurred to any of this tle band of fuithful workers consisting of chiefs and section chiefs from the population division of the census, that you are celebrating a great event here in this picturesque spot. For the first time in the iustory of the world the count of the population of a great nation has been made by the aid of electricity. The number of names on every one of 15,000,000 schedules has been registered twice by the nimble and expert fingers of the counters, and the 64,000,000 peo- ple have marched, as it were. under the vision of the young men and women who have done such remarkable work with such extraordinary ra- idity and precision. What a procession you oan hee pass before you. ‘The men who wrote those names have had to find them in every human habitation and existing under every imaginable condition within this vast domain of ours. COUNTING 128,000,000 PEOPLE IN SIX WEEKS. ‘In June these blanks were disttributed throughout the country. In July and August they find themselves back in the Census Office, connted twice and ready for the next statisti- eal treatment. Allowing for the time spent in teaching and in fitting up the machines the count proper was notcommenced before July 1, and the night force was not organized until some time afterward. We have actually counted 128,000,000 in six weeks, or the entire popula- tion of 64,000,000 twice in that period. Begin- ning with two or three thousand families, or 10,000 and 15,000 persons, per day the pers tives progressed in dexterity until last Thurs- day no less than 43 counted over 10,000 familie: or 50.000 persons each, one young lady reach: ing the astonishing total of 16,071 families, or about 30,000 persons. On that day not only the highest averages were reached but the greatest number counted, the report showing 2,318 families, or 6,711,590 persons, This sents an average of 8.135 families, or .675 persons per clerk. The average num- ber counted the women clerks was 9,000 families, or 47,930 persons, and by the men clerks 6,587 families, or 32,935 persons, Thus it will be seeu that the women average neatly one-half more thanthe men. It is also wort noting that of the 43 who counted more than 10.000 38 were women and only 5 men. These facts, and, indeed, the record of the entire six weeks show that WOMEN ARE BETTER ADAPTED FOR THIS PARTICU- Lak WORK than men. They are more exact in touch, more expeditions in handling the schedule, more at home in adjusting the delitate mechanism of the machine and apparently more ambitious to make a good record. While I congratulate you on the completion of the rough count and thank you sincerely for the great interest you have taken in this work, for the many extra hours you have freely given, I must sympathize with you in the sorrowral fact that you have no more countries to count. Alexander 1s said to ave wept because he nud no more worlds to conquer, and Hant and Suttherland in the midst of this gay festivity looked solemn and sad at the paltry total of 125,000,000. and with a ghastly smile I can hear them sey: ‘We had to count the population twice in order to reach those figures.’ Distance is overcome and les- sened when we can fish our thoughts thou- sands of miles ina few minutes and cross the Atlantic im five days. So it is in census work. With the force that left work this afternoon, working night and day as we have worked, we could with these electrical machines count the eutire population of the United States in ten days of seven working hours each. COUNTING THE POPULATION OF THE EARTH. “Estimating the population of the civilized world at 650,000,000 we could count it in 100 days, while the bright young women and sturdr young men of our population division could run through the entire population of the earth, which, including Asiatic and savages, is esti- mated at 1,300,000.000, in less than 200 days, providing places could be found to store the schedule, and while we thus glorify our own little achievements we must not forget that we have here with us the modest man who invented the wonderful machine with which we have ac- com plished these results ” AGAINST LEGALIZING MURDER.

Correspondence of THE EVExING Stan Rockvinie, August 17. Some time ago a man calling himself James Wright came to this vicinity and commenced work with Mr. John Bean, superintendent of repair bands on the railroad. The stranger said he was from Washington city. He was in bad health and Mr. Bean took him to his house, loaning him money to buy medicine, &c. Fri- day Mr. B. left him at the house while he went to his work, and on his return in the evening found that Wright was missing and so was $105 belonging to Mr. Bean, a portion of it in $5 and $10 gold pieces. Mr. Bean afterward learned that his boarder had asked for change for a gold piece at a business place here and had then left for parts unknown, Mr. Bean yester- day went to Washington and notified the de- tectives of bis loss. The money was taken from his desk. Cooke D. Luckett, real estate agent, yester- day sold for ward Story, formerly of Mis- souri, to John Collins of this county a house and lot in Maddox's subdivision of the eastern portion of this town for 1.650. Both before and after the adjournment of the republican convention, held here on Satur- day, there wasan interchange of views among the large number present in regard to the prospects of the party in this county at the coming election and it appeared to be the gen- eral impression that the voteof Hon. L. E. Me- Comas (of whose renomination to Congress there is no doubt) would come fully up to his vote at the last election. While it was admitted that he might lose the votes of a few democrats who have hitherto voted for him on personal grounds, it was claimed that this loss would be greatly overbalanced by the votes of the large number of republicans who have settled in the county during the past two years, As for dis- affection in his own party it was claimed to be confined to avery few and that a majority of these will be found in the ranks before the day of election. People living adjacent to the ruins of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and who have heretoiore depended upon that waterway for means of transportation are now in a state of AGAIN IN “ROBBERS’ CUT.” Seven Robbers Secure $30,000 From One Missouri Pacific Railway Train. Robbers’ Cut, thirteen miles from Sedalia, Mo.,on the Missouri Pacific railroad, made famous by the great robbery perpetrated there nine years ago by the James gang, again leaps into notoriety by another big robbery. At 2:30 o'clock yesterday morning seven men held ups train there aud robbed the express car of some- thing like $30,000, The train, the regular Kansas City passenger, left St. Louis at 8:20 Saturday morning. At Tipton, or California, two men climbed on the back of the engine and remained concealed until Robbers’ Cut, which is three miles from Otterville, was reached, At this point the two men, who had climbed over the tender, suddenly appeared in the cab, and covering the engineer and firemen with re- volvers compelled them to stop the train, Suddenly, as if they had sprung up out of the earth, five other men with guns appeared, three on one side and two on the other. Very few words were said. The enginecr was com- pelled to get down and lead two of the robbers to the express car, leaving the fireman in charge of the engine. The latter got down and, thinking the coast clear, undertook to let the passengers know what was going on. A big re- volver in the hands of a robber frightened him so badly that he climbed back on the engine. The tworobbers forced the express messenger, A. S. Avery, to hand over all the money pack- ages not locked up in the through safe. The whole robbery did not take longer than ten minutes in its execution. The engineer was escorted back to his cab and ordered to pull out. which he did. Not more than half a dozen of the sen- gers in the coaches or sleepers knew what had happened, and no attempt was made to rob them. At Otterville the alarm was given, and within two hours officers were in pursuit, but up to midnight they caught nobody, Railroad and express officials will not state what the loxa is, but admit it will be very large. There are goud grounds for putting it close to $30,000. Nobody was burt, Conductor Marsh anda pas- senger named James E. McCormick were ina chair car and were the only two persons there who werearmed. They took positions at cither end of the car and awaited developments, but were not molested, As soon as he returned to his engine Greyer. the engincer, threw open the throttle and the train sped on westward, but instend of coming direct to Sedalia it stopped at Otterville and information of the robbery was wired to Super- intendent H. G. Clark of this city, Half an hour later the train arrived here and stopped just long enough to change engines. Messen- gor Avery refused to make any statement as to the amount of the company’s lose, At 4:40 o'clock a special train carrying Detective De Long, Sheriff Smith and a party of picked men left tor Sedalia, Twenty-five minutes lat they were on the ground at “Robbers’ Cut, and as it hadrained nearly all night the work ot tracking the robbers was comparatively easy for a time, An examination disclosed two trails in the soft mud. One was followed some 300 yards up the feverish anxiety in regard to the forthcoming decision of Judge Alvey of the circuit court for Washington county, and all hope that the court will order a sale of the canal at once and that the property will fall into the hands of acom- pany which will immediately commence the building of a railroad along the entire line. While they appear to have no particular choice as to who shall secure the property so that the road is speedily constructed, they see that the Washington and Cumberland Railroad Com- pany is the only one that has taken any steps that look like practical business in that direction, and they are much encouraged to hope for a i ota solution cf the difficuities that surround them from the fact that the books of that company will be opened for subscription to its stock next Thursday. It is generally believed that if this company should get possession of the canal property it would not be. a month before the road would be commenced. and that it would be rapidiy pushed to completion. The last report of the District receivers, in which it is claimed that the canal can be repaired at a moderate cost and afterward run on a paying basis, is looked upon in this county as entirely chimerical. ‘There appears to be quite an animated con- test going on in the democratic party of this county in regard to the position of register of wills, made vacant + the death of Mr. Robert W. Carter last wee} Under the constitution of the state the app atment will be made by the orphans’ court, tue appointee to hold the office until the next gencrai election for state officers. It is understood that there are several applicants for the vacant place, among them Messrs. Geo. C. Dawson (who las for some time been acting as deputy in the office), Col. Washington Bowie, at present a clerk in the naval office at Baltimore. Rudolph Watkins of this district, who came within a few votes of receiving the nomination the last election for the office, and J. H. Williams of Poolesville district. It is also said that the position has been tendered to Mr. Philip D. Laird of this place, but was promptly declined by that gen- tleman, The appointment will be made at the next meeting of the court on Tuesday. and the chances appear to be in favor of Col. Bowi Workmen are now engaged in laying the foundation for the new court house, and as soon as a sufficiency of stone can be got on the ground a larger force will be employed and the work pushed to completion, SAM. The Weather and the Crops. The weather-crop bulletin of the Signal Of- fice says: The week ending August 16 was cooler than usual over the entire country east of the 97th meridian, the average dally temper- ature being about three degrees below the nor- mal for the week, except in northern New Eng- land and the lower Mississippi valley, where about the seasonal temperature prevailed, ‘There was less than the usual amount of rain generally over the region east of thg Rocky mountains, except along the Atlan coast south of Boston and in portions of Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, southern Missouri, north- ern Minnesota and western Kansas and Ne- braska, where local excesses are reported. There was an excess of rain in eastern Colorado, where in localities the rainfa!l exceeded three inches. No rain occurred in northern Ohio, southeast Michigan, northwest Louisiana, the interior of Texas and on the Pacific coast. Ouly ght showers were reported from the Ohio, upper Mississippi and central Missouri valleys and these showers were not sufficient to relieve the drought conditions in those sec- tions. The drought continues in South Dakota, and the weather during the week was generally un- favorable, causing permanent injury to crops in some localities. Ihe weather conditions were generaily favorable, and resulted in im- provement in the crop conditions trom Kansas and braska eastward to Indiana, although more rain is needed. All crops are anffering in Michigan, and corn has been seriously injured by continned dry weather. In Kentncky and Tennessee corn and tobacco were improved, while in Arkansas the weather was too dry for corn. but cotton is doing well and is in good oudition. Throughout the cotton region from outh Carolina westward to Texas the weather during the past week was favorable for all crops, except in western Texas, where the drought continues aud has caused some injury to latecotton. Cotton picking isin progress in eastern Texas and Louisiana, where some dam- age 1s reported from drought, although gener- ally the crop isin good condition. The wea- ther has been favoruble in the rice and sugar region, where rice harvest is in progress, and cane is in an uuwually good condition, In some sections of Alabama cotton has been in- jured by rust, and in North Carolina cotton is dirt road that runs parallel with the railroad, and beneath the rail of a fence was discovered a piece of brown paper neatly folded up. An inspection showed that it was the wrapper of a package that had been taken from Messenger Avery. It was addressed J. W. Gilbert, Ne- braska raska, and was from S. A. Kider & Co., wholesale jewelers, 708 and 710 Washington avenue. It bore the stamp of the money order department of the Pacific and United States Express Company, St. Louis, and judging from its size hud contained silver plate, A few feet from where the wrapper was discov- ered the imprint of the robbers’ muddy feot was found on the fence, and the inference is that they stopped there for a conference. An- other account makes the loss $90,000. ANNEXED TO THE CONGO STATE, It Extends Its Southern Border to the Head Streams of the Zambesi. The Congo State has annexed the kingdom of the Muata Yamvo, south of the present bouudary of the state. Scores of years belore any one knew exactly where the great country of the Muata Yamvo was it was vaguely mapped as lying around somewhere in the interior. Natives coming to the coast said the Muato Yamvo was exceedingly powerful and lauded it over a very big country. One geographer tried to determine approximately the place of the Great king’s residence. Negroes sid it took so many days to reach the coast and that the eun was in acertain direction from them as they traveled. Using this and other data the rapher marked the probable site of Mu: Yamvo's chicf town on his e It was not proven for many years that he had placed the whole country several hundred miles too far north, The official title of the ruler is the Muata Yamvo, and his country, which is about as large a3 Germany, is enlled Lunda. When the boundaries of the Congo State were tixed com- atively little was known about the couutrs wo German travelers were then the only white men who had seen the great king. His power was said to be so great that if he sent a messenger hundreds of miles inviting one of his chiefs to promptly kill himself the royal command was cheertully and at once obeyed. The Congo State decided that it was not anxious to meddle with this powerful p rson, and so the whole of Lunda was excluded from the territorics of the state, This is the reason that the southern boundary of the state has such an exceedingly eccentric appearance. If the Congo State made an appendage of Lunda it was feared that the tail would waggle the dog if his majesty saw fit to make trouble. One more white man has since visited the Muata Yamvo. Ho was the Portuguese Cur- valho, and it was understood that he had se- cured a treaty with the Muata Yamvo placing the country under Portugal's protection. Por- tugal, however, scems to have let the matter drop without doing anything. Meanwhile enemies of the Muata Yamvo have raided far into his coutitry and carried many slaves. His vassals have learned ty him, aud in many ways he has been shorn of u great deal of his strength, Now the Congo State improved the opportunity to re tify its boundary and gobble up Lunda, No announcement has been made of any expedi- tion going to Lunda for this purpose, and it is not yet known how it was all brought about, areata ANOTHER LONDON SCANDAL, A Story Told in the Metropolitan Di- vorce Court. For some days London has been entertained with another highly-spiced divorce case, which hus well illustrated the accepted truth, that where a pretty woman is in question the large majority of men are fools, This particular case just decided, which has been aptly christ- ened “A Story of a Lady and Two Captains,” begun in that trysting place of easy virtue, the Burlington Arcade, where a certain Capt. Lyon of the Life Guards met, without introduction, @ fascinating lady, who called herself Mra, Stanhope, and who turned out to be the mis- tress of auother and a wealthier captain named Warner. Capt.

But here, aa it able. More sunshine is needed in South Car- olina, where the crop is beginmng to open.

Mr. Pickett had been paid on previous occasions by Capt. Warner, and these particular dresses were entered to his account. Pickett not having heard of the marriage with Lyon he at first brought the suit against Warner. He failed to recover the money and then sued Lyon. |, Mrs. Stanhope, or Warner, or Lyon tried to | help the costumer as well as her paramour by asserting that her husband knew of the bill she was running up and told her to make ing purposes, Undressing they carefully de- posited their clothing in the carriage and to- gether made adash for the cooling waves. Each instructed the other to bitch the horse, and asaresult neither did so. Once m the water, the splashing frightened the animal, and away he dashed down the highway leading to Dedham village. This runaway left the bathers in a pecuhar predicament, and one of much embarrassment.

The Duchess of Manchester, on arriving at the Euston terminus of the London and North- western railway yesterday, discovered that her satchaj, containing her purse and several arti- cles of value, had been stolen.

The German emperor arrived at Revel, Rus- sia, yesterday afternoon. The czar and czarina arrived at Narva by special train from St. Petersburg this morning and were received at the station by the clerical and civil authorities, while the people who had assembled to witness the royal arrival were kept in the background and out of the station. Bread and salt were offered to both the czar and czarina as a sign of the good will entertained for them by the people of the town. Her imperial majesty was given a magnificent bouquet of rare flowers in a golden holder thickly set with procious stones. There were very few policemen in uniform to be seen in any of the streets, but the city 4s swarming with detectives in plain clothes. Their majesties were driven to the Villa Palouzeff, the residence of one of the great- est manufacturers of the emp! who is also a banker and one of the czar's secretaries. This villa has been transformed into a perfect paradise by the combination of exotic Plante and flowers, which have been specially ought from Paris and Nice, by the collection of works of art, and everything that is beau- tiful and rich that money can purchase. ‘The house has been recently enlurged in order to provide sufticient accommodation for their Majesties, and arrangements have been made to place a thousand horses and two hundred carriages at the disposal of the czar and the kaiser. ‘Ihe Grand Duke Alexis, the czar'e brother, arrived early in the morning in command of & fleet of twenty-one fron-clads. They had on bourd the Kaiser's Wyborg regiment, of which his majesty was made colonel a short time ago.

On the arrival of the yacht the yards of the ships, however, were mauned anda salute was fired, while the band played the national anthem. The official reception occurred at Narva, where the German iiperial party arrived at 8 o'clock. ‘The kaiser’s journey from Revel to Narva was a regular triumphal procession, All along the line of the railroad the peopie assembled and cheered loudly as the train passed them, while all the stations through which it passed were gaily decorated with flags and flowers, When Emperor William landed at Revel he re- ceived a deputation of German residents and afterward inspected the Vibourg regiment, the officers of which presented him with bread and. sait on platters carved for the occasion by soldiers, The emperor addressed the regiment briefly in ussian and the troops responded with cheers. -e@o—______ RIOT ON A TRAIN. Serious Shooting Affray Among Labor- ers Near Cincinnati. A large party of laborers from the Addyston pipe works, 15 miles from Cincinnati, on the Big Four road, went to town Saturday. It was pay day and all got drunk, While they were returning on the crowded train early yesterday morning a quarrel arose and a gencral fight ensued. They drew guns and began to fire indiscriminately. There was a stampede of the passengers and when the firing ceased it was found that Sylvester Lewis, Allen Hedges, Frank Godrey, Alfred Singicton and B, Beckel were wounded, Lewis and one other probably fatally.

In point of faci, i may be truthfully said that it is without as equal in this respect any where in the world These averments are borne ont by the figures given below, which are compiled from the sworn weekly statements printed in the paper on each Monday in the year, and condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the average dady circulation of the paper during the year 188%, published im Tux Stan on the 18th of January, 1890. Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star bas three times the cirea- dats {any other paper in Washing- tont 2, The Star's circulation in Washing» jouble ofall the other ‘v Papers published im the city added to- gether!! 3. Whe Star bas a larger and circulation in the city where printed, im proportion to reading and purchas: ing population, than any other news: paper in the world!!! 4. The Siar has the Jargest regular and permanent home circulation of any (we-cent afternoon paper in the United States !Itt In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the papet, attention is invited to the figures following PAILY CIRCULATION IW 18S5-86-87-88-88 ISS.

Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub- scribers, The remaining 6.740 copies represent the salee over the office counter, at the new by newsboys. ands, cad But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied reguiarly to per manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c. (uot householders), ¢o that its whole circula tion may be literal tircle, said to be in the family While its aggregate circulation there fore gives Tar Stan a distenctine and ¢ Position im modern journalism, the fullness of its home circulation, the extent to which it is relied upon by members of household, and particularly by the pur+ chasing portion of the community, are the marked characteristics of the paper to which no other daily journal now published can furnish a parallel. This is no idle boast on the part of the paper. It is a well established fact, demonstrates to the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter prising bueiness men of Washington, who seck and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tue Sran’s advertising patronage. Nothing can more illustrate the esteem in which any article is held by the public than a constantly increasing demand for it—day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year,—in the face of ad- rable surely verse claims and pretentious competition, The figures following tell the story on this point: NUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEM.ANTS «RINTED Lt A885 -86-87-S8-sta ISS6.

The larg space required for advertisements during 1 year 1889 as compared with that occupied 1888 is even more striking. The average daily space filled by advert ments in 1888 was 25.10 columns, or 7779 colu# for the year; whereas for the year 1889 the 7 average was 29.75 columns, or 9223 colum® the aggregate, being a total gain over the » vious yearof 1444 columns!
