The count of the in the United States "will "begin in all parts of the country on June 1, and end iii the cities two weeks later and in the rest of the country before the close of the month. The people are to be counted at their places of residence, but as many persons and families will be away from their liom.es during June there is some danger that such persons will not be counted. If they are not counted, the locality in which they live will be misrepresented to that extent, and in some cases this misrepresentation may be enough to effect the representation in Congress of the State from which they come.

Local pride and State pride, therefore, should influence all such absentees to take reasonable precautions against being omitted from enumeration in their places of residence. Such omissions are most likely to occur in the large cities, where families close their homes and go elsewhere for the summer. The occurrence of the Paris Exposition this year is likely to increase the number absent from this country. In all cases of contemplated absence the head of the family is requested by the Census Office to communicate with the supervisor of the district in which he lives. He is also requested to leave information regarding his answers to the questions which are to be asked with some responsible neighbor who will agree to see that it reaches the enumerator on his rounds.

Such information might better be left as a memorandum in writing, as in that case it is less likely to be overlooked. The questions to which answers are desired apply primarily to the population, but also to all farms and manufacturing establishments. They are being published from time to time in the press of the country. By taking this trouble the absent citizen will do justice to his locality and his State, and materially aid the Census Office in the performance of its duties. fusion of the disgruntled Republicans r.nd Democrats in close counties stalwart Republicans Lave been nominated for the Legislature, and thus encompass the defeat of the regular Republican nominees.

This just means that wherever a stalwart Republican has been nominated he must be defeated and either a Democrat or insurgent elected. This is just what the MESSENGER predicted last spring. There are some old-time Republicans acting with the insurgents in this county who will not appreciate the idea of defeating regularly-nominated Republicans and the election of Democrats in Republican counties just to satisfy the spite of such political jobbers as Bill Flinu and John Wamuufvker. It is not our style of Republicanism. PERSOKAI.

THE annual convention of the American Anti-Saloon League began in Chicago on May 24, 30 States being represented by 100 delegates. At the close of the reading of the address- of President Hiram Price, Rev. K. H. Abrains, superintendent for Iowa, said: "What can you tell us, Mr.

President, of the stand of President McELiuley on the liquor question?" Objections were made to the query, but President Price overruled them, and said: "I sat for years by the side of William McKinley in the House of Representatives and know him for a very pure and clean man. My opinion is that he is a practical temperance man." There is considerable difference between a 'practical'' and an impracticable temperance man, and this applies also to women. A practical temperance man is one who goes about seeking to stop the spread of intemperance and bring about its final extinction in a clean, rational way. There are others seeking the same end whose methods are far from commendable and who harm more than help the good cause. WANTS McKIXUEY.

TO A PRACTICAL L.AW. The -chairman of the committee on banking and currency, Mr. Brosius, of Pennsylvania, does not overstate the case when he says the new financial law has more than met the most sanguine expectations and that "the refunding provisions of the law are working out an achievement in finance without a parallel in the history of the world." A fresh triumph has been tEe" record of the Republican party. Up to May 1 the treasury refunded of 3, 4 and 5 per cent, bonds maturing between the years 1904 and 1908, replacing them with 2 per cents. After deducting the premium paid the net saving effected is $6,664,454, This transaction not only uses a part of the surplus to advantage, but demonstrates that the credit of the United States Government is the highest in the world, for its 2 per cent, bonds are at a premium.

A clear saving of over $6,000,000 by an operation that also advances public credit to its highest notch is a notable occurrence in national finance. Under the new law national banks may be established with less than $50,000 capital, a decided broadening out of the system. There is scarcely a town in the country that can not afford to start a bank if the field exists to make it profitable. Within six weeks after the passage of the law no less than 890 applications to start new banks were filed with the Comptroller of the Currency. Of the number approved 194 banks have a capital of less than $50,000 or over.

Since the passage of the new law the consequent increase of the bond-secured money in circulation, up to May 1, exceeded This same law clinches the gold standard and breaks the endless chain. Its.practical working is a splendid vindication of the and soundness of Repiiblican financial ideas. The same administration that secured payment almost in full, principal and interest, from the Pacific railroads, can present a new claim to the indorsement of the people. Louis Globe-Democrat. MORTUARY RECORD.

TIME ABOLISHED. By a vote of 433 to 238 the Methodist General Conference, in session at Chicago on May 24, abolished the time limit of pastorates. Hereafter, according to the amendment to the discipline by the conference, preachers will be appointed annually by the bishops, with no limit on the number of years a pastor may serve one congregation, if that congregation requests his return year. The conference committee on temperance, in its majority report, charged President McEanley with being responsible for the army canteen system. The conference rejected the committeeVre- port by an overwhelming majority.

The minority report, which was almost unanimously adopted, struck out all of the majority report in which President McKinley was condemned. Judge Lore, of Delaware, speaking in favor of the minority paid a strong tribute to the President, with whom he served four years in Congress. "I love his elemental manhood," said Judge Lore, "and I hope the Methodist church will not strike down one of the loyal men within her borders." The Democratic press was already engaged in making capital in this regard against President McKinley, and the conference has promptly and emphatically set its foot on the dirty work. THE insursrent leaders are a nice lot pf Republicans. Last week Bill Flinn, Dave Martin and other insurgent lead- met with M.

Griffey and a num- Tjer of other prominent Democrats in secret conclave in Philadelphia. The of tbe meeting -was to form a Philadelphia, May 29. United States Senator Boies Penrose, commenting upon the probable attitude of the Pennsylvania delegation to the Republican convention on the vice presidential issue, said today: "There has been no attempt to get -the delegates from Pennsylvania to the national convention pledged or committed to any candidate for vice president. It may be accepted as a fact that the influential Republican leaders of this state are anxious and eager to do what is thought best for the success of the Republican ticket this fall. The opinion is general that the delegation to the national convention from Pennsylvania should defer action upon the matter of the vice presidency until they shall have an opportunity of conferring in Philadelphia with the party leaders from all over the country, and especially the close friends of the national administration.

We in Pennsylvania have no concern about the result of the presidential election in our own state, but we are desirous of doing that which will strengthen the Republican organization in the so-called doubtful states. We want to strengthen the national ticket, and it is believed that the wishes of President McKinley and those whose opinions he values should be concurred in by the delegates from our state. I am free to say that it will be a pleasure for me to vote. for any candidate for vice president whose nomination shall be regarded as most desirable by the president. I am confident that shold there be such a preference so indicated the delegation from Pennsylvania will be a unit in support-, Ing such a candidacy." Senator Penrose is a delegate from his congressional district, and he will co-operate with Colonel Quay in all matters.

The Beaver statesman, who will be chairman of the delegation, is the leader of Pennsylvania's "big eight," the delegates-at-large. During his visit to this city last week, Colonel Quay, as the member of the national committee from this state, had a long conference with Col. George N. Wiswell, sergeant-at-arms of the Republican national convention. As a member of the executive committee of the national committee Colonel Quay is in touch with the influential men in the national committee, and he will participate in all the conferences regarding the detail work of the convention and the framing of the platform.

A MAGNIFICENT HALL. All the arrangements for- the convention have been completed by the local committee of arrangements, and the hall was yesterday formally transferred to Chairman Manley's sub-committee of the national committee. Since Contractor Dietrich, on April 9, essayed the task of making the necessary alterations to the auditorium Saturday was the first weekday that found all hammers still in the great hall. So far as Contractor Dietrich was concerned the work of the convention hall was finished, and the great structure now awaits only its gala day attire of flags, bunting, pictures and flora and plant decorations to put it in shape for the memorable scenes which next month are to be enacted within its walls. To one who entered the great structure yesterday afternoon it had a singularly impressive appearance.

Its 15,080 chairs were all in place, but, save three or four policemen and a couple of firemen guarding it, the great building was deserted. As the visitor enters the doorway in the rear of the hall the appearance of the magnificent hall is deceptive, for the thousands of seats to the left and right of him cannot be viewed at a simple glance. But if he stand in one of the corners of the hall its immensity will become at once apparent. AMPLE SEATING ROOM. The convention hall is 310 feet long and 288 feet wide.

The alterations which have just been completed have required 400,000 feet of lumber. The chairs, which are to be occupied by the 926 delegates, and a like number of alternates, allow a seating capacity of 20 inches in width. The visitors' chairs are so placed as to afford the occupants a seating space of 18 inches in width. In the section reserved for representatives of the press are 500 chairs. The press tables are six feet in length, and each will be occupied by three men.

On the stage are two sections of seats, each section containing 243 chairs. The section on the right of the speaker's platform will be occupied by members of the Republican national committee, and that on the left by the speakers and distinguished visitors. The side aisles are four feet in width and the main aisles vary from six to eight feet. All visitors to the convention hall will enter by the main entrance in: the rear of the hall. A large number of exits, however, have been provided.

Of these there aje eight on each side of Hileniau Long visited friends at Windber, Somerset county, recently. Banks, and his daughter, Annie, were Punxsutawney visitors last week. Schrecongost got home from Philadelphia yesterday, having sold a carload of horses at a fair price. William S. Hamilton, of Perrysville.

David Simons, of Philadelphia street, had a severe stroke of paralysis one day last week, and it is thought she cannot recover, owing to her very advanced years. D. W.

Crawford, of Sniicksburg, who started for Pueblo, Colorado, recently, have settled permanently at Cozad, Nebraska, and James and Bruce Crawford and Miss Stear are stopping at Pueblo.

Charlotte Peterson, of Second ward, who has been visiting her daughter, Mrs. W. E. Stewart, of Harrisburg, for the last three inonths, will return home on Friday evening, accompanied by her grandson, Arthur Stewart, who will remain here during the summer. Peffer, a former resident of Covode, is visiting relatives and friends in that vicinity.

For the twenty- five years Mr. Peffer has been a citizen of West Virginia, living in the Shenau- doah Valley, and this is his first visit to his old home since he moved away. Anna M. Mitchell, of Philadelphia street, left here May 23 on a trip to Europe. At Philadelphia she was joined by her neice, Miss Floddie Mitchell, and in her company sailed from New York on the Pheonicia of the Hamburg line, on Saturday, May 26.

Mr. and Mrs. William. McFeaters, of Cherry hill, were on the same vessel. Ed.

Samuel Dunlap, son of James Dunlap, Bants township, died at the Punxsutawney hospital Monday, May 21, of brain fever, aged 21 years. He had been at the hospital week.

He was one of a family of 20 children, 14 boys and six girls, and is the first to die. The remains were taken home for interment. CARL HARTWTG. Carl Hartwig died at his home in Pittsburg, May 24, aged 65 years. He was born in Germany and educated at the University of Jena.

He afterwards- came to this country, and for several years had charge of the Roider distillery in this place. WILLIAM: H. PATTERSON. Mr. William H.

Patterson, of Nolo, died on Friday evening, May 25, 1900. He was born December 11, 1839. He is survived by his wife and five children, C. H. Patterson, of Pitcairn, F.

R. Patterson and Maud B. Patterson, both residing in Altoona; John D. and H. Lewis, at home; also by the following sisters and brothers: Mrs.

Jane Clawson, of Nolo; Mrs! Mary Chapman, of PennRun; Mrs Sarah E. Shoup, of New Florence, and Mr. J. A. Patterson, of the Third ward, Indiana.

Mr. Patterson was married September 18, 1863, to Miss Annie E. Cogan, of Conemaugh, Pa. His death was caused by stomach trouble, from which he had suffered for several years, and was also affected with a stroke of apoplexy on May 25. The deceased was a member of the Cherry- hill Brethren church.

Funeral services were held at the home of the deceased by the Rev. Snyder, of Strongstown. Interment was made at the" Harmony graveyard, Penn Run. Census Queries. The blank schedules to be used in the next census are now in the hands of the enumerators, who will start to work on Friday, June 1.

The schedules contain questions which some persons may think prying, purposeless, or excessive in number. But their number and character have been determined by Congress, not by the census office, and all of them have been asked in previous censuses. The only important change since 1890 is that some questions have been abandoned. People are often offended at the question, "How old are you?" and are apt to wonder what use the government can make of their replies. Taken as a whole the replies are as important as any class of information office collects.

Age returns penetrate and elucidate every other branch of statistical knowledge. They show where child labor is prevalent, and where the proportion of persons able to support themselves is large or small. They reveal the great number of colored children and the short life of the negroes under present conditions. They make it possible to ascertain whether the average length of life is increasing or decreasing, how many men the nation contains who are capable of voting or of bearing arms, and whether the relative number of children is increasing or decreasing. sin Mohammedan or semi-civilized countries like India householders are often unwilling to answer the question regarding the sex of persons in the house, but in civilized countries where the sexes are regarded as on an equality, such unwillingness does appear.

The answers to the questions show that in nearly all cities the females outnumber the males and that the same is true of most of the states along the Atlantic coast. The belief is widespread that taking the world in general there are more females alive at any given time than males, and that if it were not for immigration there would be more females in the United States than males. But census statistics show that we can not explain the great excess of males (over one and a half million) in the United States by immigration alone, for when the foreign-born are left out of account, there are still above 600,000 more males than females. Few would, dispute the necessity for asking questions regarding race. All arguments regarding the future of any particular race in this country, like the Indian, the negro, or Chinaman, must hinge upon the returns in the census.

With the Indians, moreover, it is of the highest importance to learn what success the policy of the govern? inent has met with in establishing them apart from their tribes and reservations, and whether such Indians are increasing or decreasing. Some mothers may shrink from stating the number of children they have had and the number who are living. But from the answers to these questions the country will learn whether the native American population is holding its own, or whether, as some have claimed, it is being gradually supplanted and displaced by the children of recent immigrants. In the light of such explanations, and only a few of the most important questions have been touched upODj.it may perhaps be clear to the no question has been ordered by Congress, or has been asked by the census office which, if properly and correctly answered, will not lead to suggestive inferences regarding the American people and their work. RECENT MARRIAGES.

Particulars of the negotiations for sale of the 20,000 or more acres of coal land in the McGaughey leases in portions of Center, Blackliek, Conemaugh and Young townships, are being kept pretty quiet, and the principals do not care to say much. However, a MESSENGER reporter obtained the following facts from an authentic and reliable source.

The parties concerned in the proposed purchase are New York and Philadelphia capitalists, and they had experts on the field last Saturday, who gave a very favorable very favorable, in fact, that the sale may be closed within ten days or two weeks. The price is not stated, but it will not be less than $40 per acre. The MESSENGER'S informant said that he did not believe the entire field would be bought for investment, but at least part of it would be operated immediately. He wished it understood, also, that all leases might not be sold to one party, and this was the desire of both parties to the transaction, but they were not sure of an agreement en all points. Nore of the cash is here yet.

There are many parties interested in the field, and if the present negotiations fail they will be taken up in turn; It will be necessary to abstract 200 or more deeds if the sale is carried through, and this will take time.

Not a Case of The sensation of the past week was the arrest of Prof. W. M. Patton, principal of the Ford City schools, on two serious charges preferred by Henry F. Keller, his father-in-law, before Wm.

Brown, of this place. The prosecutor's daughter, a sister of the professor's wife, gave birth to a daughter sdine time ago and Mr. Patton is charged in the information with being the father of the child. Prof. Patton was one of the most highly respected citizens of Ford City, and was prominent in social and church affairs, and Miss Keller was a most estimable young lady, whose downfall and -betrayal is deplored and regretted by the whole community.

What the outcome of the case may be is hard to surmise. We are sorry to see the households of both Prof. Patton and Mr. Keller blighted in this Free Press.

Berwind, vice president of the Berwind-White Coal Mining Company, in speaking to a Philadelphia Telegraph reporter a few days ago on the situation of the soft coal trade and the future said: "Europe wants our coal, but because of lack of tonnage, coal steamers coming few and far between, we are able only in part to meet the demand. This company is in receipt of orders constantly from English, French and German manufacturers, and has registered one from Odessa, Russia, but lack of transportation facilities compels a veto of first- class trade." Mr.

Berwind said the soft coal mining sections of Pennsylvania were never more prosperous than they have been the past year. The mines in the Clearfield-Jefferson, Blair, Somerset, -Cambria and Westmoreland fields are running on any time the colliers choose to make, as they cannot get out too much coal. In reference to an" unlimited market in Europe, Mr. Berwind said: 'It is merely a question of the maintenance of the present high prices in England and the getting of ships for the transport." The present freight rate across is-13 shillings, or about $3.25 a ton, and even that is not considered as a veto on the trade. English coal men declare that this figure must be maintained because of the increased cost of mining, but the best Cardiff coal was quoted recently at $16 50 a ton, and a contract for 40,000 tons of anthracite coal for the Russian Imperial Railway was closed last week, delivery from Port Richmond wharves to Odessa, Russia, at the uniform rate of $12.50 a ton, shows the new.

market American, or, more properly speaking, Pennsylvania, coal is finding in Europe. English coal has advanced per cent, the past year, and the demand far exceeds the supply. English mines are very deep and can only be worked to a certain extent, while the Pennsylvania and West Virginia sections are mostly surface and new openings are common. "The great advance of cent, in English coal," said Mr. Berwind, "is this country's opportunity, and-counteracts any natural advantage England may have by greater nearness to the European markets.

The best market we have is on the Continent, for with advance in prices its coal miners cannot meet the problem of supplying Germany and France with the coal they want at prices they are willing to pay. The English situation opens up a field great interest and possibilities, and al we require to meet it is a coal fleet ol steamers, which we do not now Indiana county is not mentioned by Mr. Berwind, but our coal fields are virgin affairs as yet.
