NEW YORK) INSTRUCTING ENUMERATORS ORDERS HAVE BEEN ISSUED BY THE DIRECTOR OF THE CENSUS. Every Detail of the Work to Be Ac- complished Covered in the Pamphlet. The director of the census has just issued the instructions to enumerators who are to take the twelfth census. The instructions are embraced in a neat pamphlet of sixty- four pages and cover every detail of the work that is to be accomplished. It begins with a concise statement of the principal features of the census act and gives ex- plicit Instructions to enumerators as to the duties that they are to perform. The first important thing comes under the general head of withdrawals, and it is pointed out that in some districts a portion of the population has been withdrawn from the regular enumerators. This is true of residents of military and naval stations, Indians living on reservations, and certain institutions, together with persons in the military, naval or marine service, and it is pointed out that the regular census en merators will have no jurisdiction with re- spect to them. The census of Indians living on Indian reservations outside of the In- dian territory will be made in connection with the office of Indian affairs. It is pointed out that great care must be used in the work of taking the census, and that the schedules should be carefully preserved. Enumerators’ Rights. Under the head of “Enumerators’ Rights” it is pointed out that the census act pro- vides that they shall have the right of ad- mission to every dwelling, and to every manufacturing or mechanical establish- ment, for the purpose of obtaining information for the census office. Enumerators have the right to put every question contained in the census schedules and to obtain answers to each and all of them. Enumerators are cau- tioned not to obtrude needlessly upon any person, and it is of the utmost importance, the director states, that the manner of the enumerator should, under all circumstances, be courteous and conciliatory. Should objection be made to answering any of the questions, a note of the same should be made and the fact reported to the super- visor. Enumerators must not accept any statement which they believe to be false, and they are charged not to communicate to any person any information obtained in the discharge of their duties. Knumerators are cautioned not to show their schedules or in any way give information bearing upon the same. In canvassing a district, enumerators have not the right to omit any dwelling, establishment or residence, nor to enter upon a schedule of population the name of any fictitious person or persons, and for a willful falsification of the returns a fine, not exceeding $5,000, and imprison- ment, not exceeding two years, may result. Hours of Labor. In the enumeration of the population no enumerator will be permitted to act as a canvasser for newspapers, magazines, or the sale of any article, nor are enumerators permitted to delegate their authority to any other person. It is expected that the enumerators will devote at least ten hours every day. except Sundays, to the diligent ng of their district. Enumerators are cautioned not to lose time and money in thelr canvass. On entering a house they are to transact thelr business in the quick- est possible time and leave the premises. All of the duties of enumerators are to be performed under the direction and control of the supervisor of the district, and he has authority to discharge for negligence, in- efliciency, incompetence or misconduct of any sort. The department cautions the avoidance, as far as possible; of the use of interpreters, and says no expense should be incurred except where absolutely nec The compensation of interpreters, when necessary, will be $4 a day of ten hours. Method of Filling Schedules. Following this is a lst of special instruc- tions, which gives in detail the method to be followed in filling out the schedules and the abbreviations that may be employed. These special Instructions will contain dett- nitions as to what constitute residents, me- chanics, farmers, &c., so that it is impos- sible for the enumerator to go astray. Par- ticular attention {s called to the mortality schedules, and instructions as to the meth- ods to be employed in obtaining the neces- sary figures under this head are most ex- plicit. ‘The director says there has here- tofore been a grave deficiency in the num- ber of deaths reported by the enumerators, and great care to obtain accurate answers to every question, especially those relating to age, occupation and cause of death, is rsisted upon. Coples of this schedule will be sent to each enumerator throughout the United States. ——__+e+—_____ NUCLEUS OF A LIBRARY. Movement in Eckington for Benefit of Public—Special Features. The Eckington Presbyterian Church, 1o0- cated at the corner of Q and North Capitol streets, has added a commodious room to its Sunday school building, which was formally opened Tuesday, the 17th instant, by a reception to the ladies of the church who raised much of the money used in its construction. The room faces to the south, and is well lighted and ventilated. Book- cases have been provided for over a thou- sand volumes and a nucleus of the future Ubrary, consisting of about fifty books, was presented by friends a short ume sinc It is the intention to keep this.room open every night in the week so that residents in the northern section of the city may have access to the books, and in case it is determined to establish branch lbraries in connection with the city’s public library it 1s believed this room might be profitably utilized for that purpose, temporarily at least. The Oakwood Debating Club, which also was a generous contributor to the fund, has its headquarters in the room mentioned, where it meets weekly each Wednesday evening. Monday evening last educational classes were started in this room for a short term of about eight weeks, meeting three even- ings each week, with Prof. E. R. Warrener as principal. Only preliminary work will now be attempted. Last evening the ses- sion of the church, represented by two of its elders, began a series of evangelistic meetings, to be held in the new room every Tuesday evening. An executive committee of seven was appointed, with Elder Irwin B. Linton as chairman. Elders W. H. Richards and J. M. Lowe, Mr. David L. Scoville, Miss Ruth Sylvester, Mrs. Sawyer and Mr. George W. Morrison are the other members of the committee. It was decided that the organization should be called the Eckington Gospel Mission, and also that a missionary should be appointed to assist in the work of the mission. : od Bench Show Next Month. Lovers of thoroughbred canines will be furnished a rare treat by the Capital City Kennel Club of this city beginning May 18 next. On that date the local club will in- augurate a bench show at the Washington Light Infantry Armory, under the rules of the American Kennel Club, which, it is claimed, will surpass any previous exhibi- tion of like character ever held in this city. Exhibitors from many states have already entered their dogs, and it now seems likel: the total number to be shown will reac! 600, embracing specimens of the finest ant- mals in the world. Prizes have been of- fered in the various classes, and there will be byeat competition for several costly cups and m a Mr. Frank J. Gould of New York, whose dogs and kennels cost over $200,000, will show some of his dogs, as will also Mr. T. J. Sheubrooks of Baltimore, whose St. Bernards are declared to be the envy of the world. Col. J. H. Rup) Congress pert, representa- from New York, has also entered some prize winners. The show will be open both afternoon and evening of-the dates mentioned. In addi- tion to the usuel bench show, there will be a novel exhibition by trick dogs.

The objects of the so- rea clety are to collect and preserve manu- Ss ae oo © ° 4 scripts, traditions, relics and mementoes of colonial days; to preserve and restore build- ings connected with the country’s early history; to create a popular interest in colonial history and to diffuse intelligent and healthful information regarding it. Many of the members arealso identified with the Daughters of the Revolution and other patriotic societies. The session this morn- ing was called to order shortly after 10 o’clock by Mrs. Justine Van Rensselaer Townsend, the president, and was devoted to organization matters. Another evidence of the exclusiveness of the society is found in the fact that no newspaper repre- sentatives are admitted to the meetings. The information was given to a Star re- porter at 1 o'clock that the morning had been given up to considering credentials and nothing of interest to the general pul lic had been done. Another session be- gan at 2:30 o'clock. The business to be hereafter considered includes a proposed amendment to the so- ciety’s constitution inereasing the number of vice presidents from two to three, the admission of West Virginia, Florida’ and ippi; the proposed establishment of in history by the different state so- a change in the official seal by hav- ing It surmounted by the American eagle, and the election of officers.
