The director of the census to-day gave out a statement regarding the growth of urban population North and South, which shows the following facts: The large cities, taken collectively, are growing nearly twice as rapidly as the rest of the country. The per cent, of the population of Northern States, living in large cities, is nearly three times as great as the corresponding per cent. In the South. The North has a rate of Increase no greater than that cf the South. The large cities in the North are growing much faster than those of the same size in the South, but this difference is balanced by nn extremely rapid growth of small towns and cities In the South, and especially by the hi?h rate of increase of Southern rural population. The statement says thesö reyults seem paradoxical, but ere correct. Ilrector Merriam's statement Is designed to explain how the deduction that the South for tho first time la now growing as rapidly as the North harmonized with the well-known facta that in the North the proportion of Inhabitants living in cities is much larger tha.ii it is in the South, and FAIH WEATHER PROMISED.

thut as a rule cUles increase in rop"lat,on much more rarldly than country districts. The statement shows that in the North the proportion of the population living in lare cities Is more than three times as gnat as it Is in the South. The population hvlnjr In cities of over 2Tj."X) inhabitants Increased 41.0 per cent, between IS:) and IS"), partly by the growth of the U cities of that size in 1SJ and partly by the additions durlnsr the following ten years of thirtj'-stx other cities to the list. Th population of tho country outside these cities increased between and 14.4 per cent. The 16) cities of the United State, each of which had ever SO) inhabitants in lf0, increased in poulatlon C2.5 ier cent, betwm lv and 1M; the rest of the United States, excluding: Ala?ka and the recent Insular accessions. Increased 17.1 per cent. Of the total poulatlon of 7301.575 in continental United States 19.71S.31f. or 23.3 per cent., live in cities of 25.9 ) inhabitants or more. The proportion of inhabitants of three sections, the North. South and West, into which the cen?us divides the United States, follows: North Total population. 47.370. 5L0: population of cities of 5.'J or more, ti,lH5S0. or 34 rr rent.

The figures, concludes the statement, show that the present growth of population Is a resultant in the North of a very rapid growth of large cities, a slower growth of small cities and a very slight growth in the country, and a resultant in the South of a rate of growtn of large cities below the average for the country, balanced by a striking growth of small cities and an increase of rural population twice as fast as the average for the United States.

Minn., Jan. IS. If the government insists that the Indians in its charge shall cut oft their long hair, abstain from the use of paint and the gaudy habiliments of savagery the aborigines will dig up the hatchet and shed their blood in resisting so sudden a wiping out of racial characteristics. This is the opinion of J. R. Bottineau, son of Pierro Bottineau, the Northwestern pioneer and scout. Not only is Mr. Bottineau, connected with the red race by ties of blood, but for years he has been counselor and attorney for the Turtle Mountain band of Indians. Nominally a resident of Minneapolis, he claims Washington for his home for clients' business demands that much of his time be spent at th national capital.

They assert that by means of the telephonic system the service will be practically revolutionized. They say that with slight improvements, which are inevitable, the telephone will furnish greater safety for train orders; that the cost of train operation will be decreased and the results obtained made vastly better, and that no less Important is the constant personal contact between officials and employes, which the promoters say Is certain to result in a higher grade of service. The change on the Illinois Central will be gradual.

MATERIALS SOLD BY THE 38 East Washington 5treet TT-? 0 BAN AGAINST WETM0RES. Yonngr Secretary's Mother Onee Snnbbcd the Present King. Washington Letter in Philadelphia Record. The President's appoitnment of William S. Keteltas Wetmore, eldest son of George Peabody Wetmore, United States . senator from Rhode Island, to be special secretary of the embassy to represent the United States at the coronation of King Edward VII of England, has caused a sensation at the British embassy and generally among diplomatic and official circles in Washington. About thirteen years ago, on Oct. 13, 1SSS, his royal highness, Albert Edward, Trince of Wales, now King of Great Britain and Ireland and Emperor of India, issued explicit orders to his equerry, Typwhlt Wilson, to remember the name of Wetmore, adding that no Wetmore should ever be presented at court. "Don't forget this name Wetmore, Wetmore, Wetmore! And tell Teesdale, Cummings and Knollys about it. Tell them all, and also the court chamberlain, that a Wetmore Phall never be received at court. Never, never!" said Albert Edward at that time. Mrs. George Peabody Wetmore, then the most beautiful married woman In Homburg, had curtly declined to meet his royal highne!. Hence his indignation and his ban against all Wetmores. "Will 'Willie' Wetmore be turned down by the King?" That was the question asked a hundred times here in clubdom to-day. Some held that his Majesty would graciously condescend to forget what happened so many years ago. Others thought that perhaps the senator's son would lind himself too busy to accept President Roosevelt's appointment. Mrs. Wetmore, mother of the young man in question, was beautiful Edith Keteltas, heiress to a fortune and one of the belles of New York three decades ago. She lost none of her girlish beauty in the lapse of years, and when she went to Europe she was remarked upon as "that superb American." It chanced that she and her husband, then ex-Governor Wetmore, of Rhode Island, were at Homburg when the Prince of Wales was there In lS&i. His gaze fell on the beautiful American matron. He made it known to his equerries that it was his pleasure to meet the fair foreigner. It had never occurred to the prince for a moment that Mrs. Wetmore would object. Englishmen by the score who had not the honor of the prince's acquaintance had long before showed that they felt complimented by any attention he might pay their wives. Naturally the prince felt that Americans would feel equally honored. Not so Mrs. Wetmore. But young Wilson, the equerry, didn't know that. He was sent to bring Mrs. Wetmore and he went. He was properly Introduced, and then smilingly said that his royal highness, the Prince of Walep, desired to make Mrs. Wetmore's acquaintance. History does not record the exact answer which young Wilson bore to his royal master. His royal highness turned to Mrs. James Rrown Potter, who was at Homburg, too. Being then a member of New York's "400" Mrs. Potter knew Mrs. Wetmore. "Oh. I'll fix it." she said to the prince. So she wrote this note and had her maid take it right away to Mrs. Wetmore's hotel: My Dear Mrs. Wetmore: His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales would be glad to have the pleasure of your company at luncheon at Ritter's to-day. If you will come for me at quarter to one we will go around together. Yours cordiallj', CORA URQUHART POTTER. Mrs. Wetmore's reply was: Mr Dear Mrs. Potter: I cannot accept the invitation of II. R. H. the Prince of Wales to luncheon, as conveyed through you. Yours truly, EDITH K. WETMORE. The next time she saw Mrs. Potter Mrs. Wetmore also took occasion to remark that Bhe wasn't in the habit of meeting gentlemen outside her own house, except in company with Mr. Wetmore. The prince was furious. It was then that he issued his ukase banishing all Wetmores particularly American Wetmores from his sight and presence. A companion story to the Wetmore snub is recalled. On the day before Mrs. Wetmore's assertion of her dignity, Mrs. Mary E. Audenrled and her sixteen-year-old daughter. Miss Florence, now the Countess Divonne, of Paris, were members of the American colony at Homburg. Several days previous to the Wetmore Incident the Prince of Wales singled out Miss Florence as the object of marked attention. Upon the promenades and at the races, theaters and balls he sought the company of this young girl, to the agitation of her friends and relatives. Upon the night that Mrs. Wetmore summarily gave him his conge the Prince of Wales invited Miss Audenried to the royal box at the races. Among other things, he personally gave the young girl an invitation to a fete he had planned for a few days later. The American damsel rose to the occasion, and, while thanking his roval highness for the honor, regretted that it was impossible to accept his kindness, as phe would leave Homburg with her mother the next morning. The prince was astonished and Inquired the reason. "I think, j'our highness," replied Miss Audenried. "that mamma is taking me away because I met you." The Prince of Wales once sent a message to Mary Anderson -that he would call upon her at a certain time, and the American actress sent him a reply that she would be delighted to receive him, provided he was accompanied by his royal consort. The Princess of Walet herself was fo struck by the dignity of Mary Anderson under this trial that she called uron the actresa herself, with her daughters, although the prince did not accompany the party.

called for a lengthy exposition. The youngster was curious to know about the proposed Panama canal, so his mother brought out a map of the western hemisphere and prepared to give him a ehort lesson on the subject. "This is North America," she explained, "and this is South America. You see that South America is shaped something like a pear, and is is fastened to North America by this stem or isthmus. Now the Panama canal is to be cut across there" "But mother," her son interrupted, "if they cut the stem won't South America fall off?" THE RHAL'TIFYIXG OF CITIES. Appearance of Paris Is "Worth 3111llona Yearly to Her People. Charles II. Coffin, in World's Work. A large number of people, the majority, in fact, have no consciousness of the desirability of beauty in a city. With them the highest consideration is the convenience or comforts of the city life; and in these respects such enormous improvements have been made within recent years that the city seems to represent everything that could be desired. "What is this beauty, anyway?" they exclaim. Perhaps they were in Paris during the exposition, when the omnibus system proved itself entirely inadequate to accommodate the crowds who wished to be carried. They come home and rail agalnpt the miseries of it and extol the euperiority of their own system of rapid transit, though the latter is not without its drawbacks. Then they did not have a decent steak all the time they were in Paris, and the oysters but the foreigners don't know what oysters are! Every time it Is tho conveniences and comforts or the lack of them upon which they harp. The dignity or beauty of Paris, while it cannot have escaped their notice at the time, has not been brought home In their hearts as a thing that it would be desirable to emulate in New York. Yet, if they had learned from the foreigner any wrinkle that would Improve their own business they would be quick to adopt it. Yet may not this name beauty be just such a wrinkle? I think it is worth to the Parisians about ?200,uA,UU0 a year. Paris caters for the world, and its main store In trade is its beauty, which it keeps on Increasing, and the treasures of its works of art. Poor, impoverished Italy, where would she be to-day if it were not for the beauty of her cities, much of it created four and five hundred years ago, on which she is now gathering a dividend of 'j0,000,000 annually? An Illustrated Sermon. Detroit Free Tress. "I don't know what to make of that boy of mine," sighed a well-known minister of the gospel. "I have tried to bring him up in the way he should go. but he is always coming back at me In a way that destroys the value of the lessons that I try to teach him. The other day his mother informed me that he had been throwing stones at one of the neighbor's little boys, and I called him into my study to question him about iL 'My son.' said I. sadly, 'what is this I hear about your misconduct?' M 'Why, papa.' said he. I haven't been doing anything that I ought not to.' " 'Your mother reports that you have been throwing atones at the little Jones boy.' " 'And so I did he shouted, defiantly. " 'Do you think that is the proper thing for a little Christian boy to do?' " 'Why, papa.' he answered, 'you said yourself that a little boy could preach sermons more powerful than those delivered from the pulpit; sermons that would sink deep into the heart and remain there forever, and that I should be constantly on the outlook for a chance to teach such lessons to my little friends.' - " 'I remember saying something like that I answered gravely, 'but throwing stones can hardly be classed as a sermon ' " 'Why. papa he flashed, 'I've heard you say time and time again that there were sermons in stones, and if there were ever a kid that needed a sermon that Jones boy Cause of w York Tnnnel Disaster. Letter In Pniladelphia Press. If railway engineers who are accustomed to pass dally through this tunnel are summoned to testify before the coroner's inquest it is safe to predict that all of them, while admitting that smoke and steam often obscure the lights of the tunnel, nevertheless will say that the Inflexible rule for the conduct of an en Eineer is that where the signals are obscured then the train must be brought under immediate control. That Is rfre cisely what this engineer. Wiskar. did not do. Had ne obeyed the rule there would have been no collision. It is the impression among railway men here that Wiskar. being nervous, perhaps overcautious lost his judgment, or. as the expression is became rattled, and if there is censure properly to be meted to the railway management the feeling is that it will be. ba-ed upon lack of care in selecting an engineer for the guidance of a train through a confined area some two mlks in length r?d ?ret,t,the.txperience of a11 il way managers is that there do come times when The most experienced the mot cautious of nepers sometimes hanpily infrequent, experience a mental lapse of this kind.

Abbreviations make up one of the mo.-t important elements in the career of the telegraph operators. Abbreviated dispatches are often sent in five minutes that wouM require an hour's work if transmitted in full. But there is an operator in Fittburs whose originality in inventing substituWs for good English surprises even his workmates. When the death of young James S. Ay res was first sent over the wires and the name of Mrs. Bonine was fir?t mentioned one of the local operators received . query from the Pittsburg man: "What pr.rt of a looking woman ia Mrs. Bo9? The Washington operator thought eleadilv 1t a moment, and then pent back: "Whom d you mean?" "Mrs. B-O-9." When the significance of the phrase burst upon him the local operator announced the abbreviation to his associates, and the name has b-en sent all over the country as "B-O-3" evr since.
