Census Supervisors. The act of March 3, 1889, under the i provisions of which the Twelfth Census of the United States is to be taken, provides for the appointment of su- j pervisors of census, one or more to; each state and territory, the District of Columbia, Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands, to have general su-1 pervision within theh- respective districts of the enumeration to be made in June. 1900. One of the duties imposed by the census act upon these supervisors is the designation of suitable persons to be employed, with the consent of the director of the census, as enumeration districts for which they may be appointed, and that they shall be selected solely with reference to fitness, and without reference to their political party affiliations: . The appointment of enumerators will be made with reference to physical activity and to aptness, neatness and accuracy in writing and in the use of figures. The census re-1 quires active, energetic persons of good address and readiness with the pen. Only such can do th£ work w ith satisfaction to the government or profit to themselves. Each person seeking appointment as census enumerator must make a written application to the supervisor for the district of w'hich a resident, giving the Christian name and surname in full: whether a citizen of the United States or not at present; legal residence: sex and color; age: place of birth; the principal facts of education and of professional or business experience including a statement of all national, state, county or municipal offices held at any time: nature of present occupation, if any;• previous experience in census work; physical condition, and knowledge of English and other languages. This application RoVmBaking Powder Made from pure cream of tartar. Safeguards the food against alum.

(see form page 7-217) must be made in the handwriting of the applicant throughout, and must be certified to as such. The enumeration required by the census act will begin orf the first day of June, 1900, and must be completed within two weeks in all cities for which 8,000 inhabitants or more were reported in 1890. and in all other districts on or before the first day of July next thereafter. It will be necessary for each enumerator, before entering upon his duties, to receive a commission, under the head of the supervisor of the district.to which he belongs, and to take and subscribe an oath of affirmation that he will faithfully discharge all the duties required of him under the law. Under the provisions of sec. 7 of the census act, the enumeration in June 1900, is restricted to inquiries relating to the population, to mortality, and to the products of agriculture and of manufacturing and mechanical establishments, and, by> the same section, the schedule of mortality and of manufacturing and mechanical establishments may be withheld from the enumerators, in the discretion of the director of the census. In no case, therefore, will the schedules of inquiries be made by the census enumerators exceed four in number, and in this respect the work of this enumerators at the twelfth census will be much more simple than that required of enumerators at preceding censuses. The compensation to be paid to enumerators is fixed by section It) of the act of March 3, 1899, and minimum rate of two cents for each living inhabitant, two cents for each death, fifteen cents for each farm and twenty cents for each establishment of productive industry is provided for all subdivisions where such allowance shall be deemed sufficient. In other i subdivisions where higher per capita rates are to be paid, according to the difficulty of enumeration, the maximum rate will not exceed three cents for living inhabitants, three cents for each death, twenty cents for each farm and thirty cents for each establishment of productive industry, while in subdivisions where per diem rates are established, having reference to the nature of the region to be canvassed and the density or sparseness of settlement, or other considerations pertinent thereto, the compensation allowed to enumerators will not be less than three nor more than six dollars per day of ten hours actual field work each. Except in 5 extreme cases, no claim for mileage or traveling expenses will be allowed to any

enumerator, and then only when: authority has been previous^ granted by the director of the census. Any enumerator who. without justifiable cause, neglects or refuses to perform the duties of his position, after accepting an appointment and qualifying for the work, or who communicates to any person not authorized to receive the same any information gained by him in, the perform ance of his duties, will be subject to a line of live hundred dollars as provided in section 21 of the census act. The provisions of the act of March 3, 1809, which relate to the appointment, duties compensation of enumerators are appended for the information of all concerned. William R. Mkrriman, Director of the Census. ’Working Night and Day, The busiest and mightiest little thing that ever was made is Dr. King's New' Life Pills.

I j i want Cuba if the Cubans want us. At * the same time I think our forces should be immediately withdrawn from Cuba and the people of that island allowed to govern themselves. We waged war against Spain for lib-1 erty and foi; right and we must wear the laurels unstained.”—R. G. Ingersoll to Editor Chester Claim, July 20, 1899, the day before he died. Mrs. M. P. O’Brien, Ivesdale, Illinois, writes: “I have used Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin as a family medicine with the best of results.: For derangements of the'stomach and a general laxative, I like it better than anything I have used.
