runny Things Done by Witty and jWitless Members of the Force j

of Enumerators. !Ii

The work of numbering the people 'ln the fourth decennial census of the jstate was completed Wednesday. A :few days more will be required to ]place the final returns in the hands \u25a0

of the census bureau, after which thelong and arduous labor of compila-tion of the results for publication in jcompliance with the census law will Ibe entered on. For the latter pur- |pose Secretary of State Berg, su- '

perintendent of the census, has un-til the first of the year as a limit,but the work will be prosecuted withsuch vigor that the publication willtake place at a much earlier date.Until that time, however, nothing

authentic may be made known ofthe results, as the census law of '95 !provides that no part of the census 'statistics shall be made public until .the same are printed under the pro- [visions of the act. I

The work of taking the census hasbeen a task of considerable magni-

tude and difficulty owing to increasein population, brief time allotted for jdoing the work and somewhat limit- jed resources for its performance, jThe appropriation made for the pur- |pose was $45,000, which willfall short jof the amount necessary, except by '

the exercise of the strictest econ-omy. This, of course, Supt. Berg

has employed throughout and hasbeen obliged to limit the compensa-tion of his employes in order to keep

within bounds. His own compen-sation is, perhaps, as meager asthat of any subordinate when thetime taken is considered. He re-ceives $500 for his services under theprovisions of the census law.

FAITHFUL WORK.In the performance of the work

Mr. Berg had an able colaborer inhis assistant, Capt. Wdldt, and hestates that the employes of the bu-reau generally worked faithfullyand well at the tasks assigned them.Capt. Wildt was in a particularlyhappy frame of mind yesterday atthe prospect of closing up the out-side branch of the work and having

the remainder of the labor under hisimmediate eye and control. "Whenyou come to think of the short timeallowed us," said he in speaking ofthe matter yesterday, "and the re-strictions and limits placed upon usin the way of funds wherewith tocarry out the provisions of the cen-sus law, I believe it will be concededthat the- bureau has done very well."Why, the final results of the UnitedStates census taken in IS9O are butjust now promulgated. Five yearsold, those statistics are, and of riopractical value outside of a historicpoint of view. Conditions today arevastly different to what they werewhen the government census wastaken, yet we are only now learningthe full results. I understand, ofcourse, that the government censusis a much more elaborate affair thanours, but the means of doing thework were practically unlimited,while we had to be very careful andeconomical. A census, to have aproper value, and meet the object

. for which it is taken, should be com-pleted as quickly as may be con-sistent with accuracy. This we havedone so far and will urge on whatremains to be done with every celer-ity consistent with correctness. Therest of the work will be in the officeof the bureau and of a quieter na-ture than the enumeration branch,md Ifeel that we will have a breath-ing spell. It is quite a relief, I as-sure you."

A month ago was found neces-sary, owing to the magnitude of theyork in the Twin Cities, to establishi branch bureau in Minneapolis,vhere the work of checking the re-urns of the state enumerators withhose of the local committee and

where the individual had b.en pre-viously enumerated; special forms to 'indicate the fact when' information had jbeen obtained second-hand; forms to':indicate refusal to give the required in- . iformation, and special forms to be ; iused where renumeration was on the .basis of a per diem. ji

Almost from the date of the passage !and approval of the law, April 22, until , 'the time of appointment of enumer- I 'ators, June 1, applications for the po- J ;

. sition of enumerator began to pour in. jFrom some of the city districts as Jmany as flfty applicants for a single !place were received, and it is fair to ' '

; say that, on an average, there were ,; ten applications for each place, or 10, I| 000 applications for the 1,000 appoint- i; ments which were made. The matter j! of appointments was under the special |; charge of Secretary Berg and Capt. I: Wildt, and the selections were made 1! without regard to politics or political j! aflliation, on the basis of qualification |! only. About June 1 the full force was jjactively at work gathering names, and j; almost immediately reports from this Ji force and schedules filled with names !; began to arrive at the bureau. As fast j' as th? schedules and reports were re- !; ceived they were marked j! WITH A FILE STAMP,(showing their dat? of arrival. After !jbeing inspected as to regularity of !| form they were filed away by counties i• and by district numbers, in the port- jfolios and schedules In which they 'I were qualified.

The correspondence up to this timej had been enormous in volume and re-j quired the constant employment of sev-

eral stenographers to answer lettersj alone. All correspondence, all reports Ij and all schedules were carefully andproperly filed away in their properplaces. By the middle of June some i

few of the smaller districts were com- Ipleted, and from that time until July |31 final returns were being received jfrom all over the field. The average jsize of the enumeration districts in the jcountry would be one or two town-ships ranging from 1,200 to 3.000 people. !In the larger cities the districts would 1

I range from 2,500 to 5,500 people. With IIso many enumerators it would be 'I strange if all were equally competent

or fitted for the work. In some fewcases enumerators resigned or thebureau was compelled to remove themand appoint others. Such cases werevery rare, and on the whole the force jin the field was very efficient indeed. jThe work of checking up and count- Iing names in various enumeration dis- |tricts began in the latter part of June |

j as districts were finallycompleted, and jj is going on at the present time. Some !• changes have been made in the em-

-1 ployes of the census bureau since thej office was first instituted last spring.; The present force of the bureau is asi follows:J Albert Berg, superintendent- orj census; Capt. P. W. Wildt, assistant;j \\. S. Tupper, George F. Wright,I clerks; Miss Sadie Owre, Miss MaryI Gilflllan, Miss May V. McKay, sten-| ographers; Miss Jennie Bixby, Miss.Julia Nichols, Miss Esther Cavallii.,Nick C. O'Connor, clerks.

COMPENSATION SMALL.The schedule of compensation lor the I

enumerators has not been liberal andthe bureau would gladly have increasedthe compensation in many cases had jit been possible to do so under the law.

i As it is it is doubtful if the appropria-j tion will suffice for the compiling andpublishing of the reports. In calculat-ing the expense of the work the legis-

! lature did not- take sufficiently intoj consideration the increase, in. popula-tion and the many inevitable in-

cidental expenses that cannot be fore-j seen and calculated upon in a work ofi such magnitude. .i In dealing with different cities, or

the state and different parts , of thestate the bureau has applied to all thesame rules and granted to all the sametreatment. No special favors havebeen shown to any locality or to anycity, and it is believed that the results

mentioned would have listed him had lhe run across him.

Enumerator No. 9, Polk county, com-plains that he has the worst district jin the state, and nearly lost his horses iand his life fording a mile of one of itshighways. One of the Mower countyappointees, who was anxious to do hisfull duty and have a full count in hisdistrict, wrote to the bureau that sinceenumerating a family the mother hada new baby and he wanted to know ifhe could take. it. The bureau told himhe could if the mother was willingtopart with it. An enumerator of Itascacounty reports "delayed on account ofmosquitos." In the same county an-other traveled 500 miles by canoe, ac-cording to his own statement. In onedistrict in the northern part of thestate eight twins were found and dulylisted. In still another a babe waslisted in advance of its birth. Theenumerator explained that it would beborn in due season, and ought to havea show.

"Disability reports" were amusing,the causes assigned for being unable .to proceed being as variable as imagi-nation could make them. One man-probably the crusader— had to knockoff work long enough to attend campmeeting. "*•'•'/-\u25a0'

The enumerator in northern Casscounty had a hard time with Indiannames. Onnish-kego-quay, Ching-wah-nah-quod, Ped-way-way-gwon-e-be-quay, etc., etc., are samples.

The unorganized counties, gave con-siderable trouble. The enumeratorfrequently omitted the number of hisdistrict in his schedule, and instead oflocating it according to the govern-ment subdivisions would designate it,in an off-hand manner, by some localname, such as "Kennedy's Ranch,""Big Mike's Place," "Indian Gulch,""Cranberry Swamp," and the like. Itwas funny, but some how or other, thebureau was not amused..

Messrs. Berg, Wildt, Tupper, Wrightand the others, as they contemplatethe accumulations of two months' cen-sus taking piled up before them, arewont to say with Christopher Sly:" 'Tis an excellent piece of work;

would 'twere done," in which thepublic,anxious to know the results, acquiesce.

AN OUTLINEof how the work was done is inter-esting. About May 20th the realwork of the bureau commenced.W. S. Tupper was appointed clerkand Miss Sadie Owre stenographer,and very soon afterward a largeoffice force was added. . Up to June1 the time was employed in district-ing the state according to the pro-visions of the law and in arrangingsuitable forms to be used in thetaking of the census.

The districting of the state was awork of some magnitude in itself. Thelaw provided that the division of dis-tricts should be along -township linesand ward lines, except in unorganizedterritory. '. This provision of the lawImpeded the work somewhat since di-vision along other lines would at timeshave facilitated it In the large citiesin particular was It difficult to observethis provision of the law, and largewards had to be' divided into subdis-tricts, or the census in such districtscould not have been taken within therequired length of time. This workwas finished about the Ist -of June.

The preparation of the blanks in-cluded the large schedules to be used'n enrolling the names and other in-formation required by the law.and alsocalled for blank forms to be used inmaking reports; forms to be used andsent to the office to-designate instances

of this census will be as complete andjaccurate as any ever taken in the stateI of Minnesota."

The taking of the census was notwithout its peculiar and amusing inci-dents and features, which served tobrighten up in a measure an otherwiserather monotonous path of toil. Nodoubt the enumerators throughout thestate could tell many quaint andlaughable stories of their experiencesin the course of their travels. At thebureau, however, the stories have theenumerator himself for the subject forthe most part. The census law makespreference in the appointment of enu-merators in favor of. ex-soldlers -andsailors wnen they are otherwise quali-fied. In th© application blanks inquirywas directed to ascertain the standingof the applicants in this respect, towhich one of them, responding affirm-:atively, added the explanation, "a sol-dier in the army of the Lord." Asbe was found to be qualified in otherrespects, the crusader received his -commission. .y V>' ,' : ...

It w as with a good breeze that, theNew York Yacht club squadron got

under way from the Brenton's reef '

lightship off. Newport this morning,and began that portion of theircruise . which would take : them 'toCottage City. The big sloops werewithout one of their yesterday's com-pany, the Jubilee having decided notto race, and appearing on the scenewith a working itopsail, while the jothers all had club topsails set, as !well as baby jib topsails. The De- ifender was first away, as usual, withthe Vigilant second and Volunteerthird. From the press boat it lookedas though the Vigilant did not crossuntil after the handicap gun wasfired, and the Volunteer was consid-erably behind her. The Defendermade her start in excellent form, go-ing over the line quickly. From thatmoment the Defender began to walkthrough the fleet. It did not takemore than half an hour for her torun ahead of everything and takeup the leading position. The Vigilantwent along fast, too, but the newboat, in the wind, outfooted her toa degree that aroused the enthusi-asm of all. The Vigilant caught thebreeze, but could not keep up. Itwas also noticed that the Defenderstood up stiffer than the Vigilant.The latter hauled down her babyjib topsail about 12 o'clock. Withina quarter of an hour it was decidedto run it up again, and this wasdone. The Defender all this time waswidening the gap between them.

The fleet was well headed by theDefender when the new boat passedthe Sow and Pigs lightship. TheDefender was to all apearancesabout four and a half minutes aheadof the Vigilant. This being the case,She had gained about two and a halfminutes on her rival. Having passedthe Sow and Pigs lightship, the fleetsteered with the wind now wellabaft the beam, on the starboardside, for the destination of the day.The distance covered was thirty-

three miles. It is announced thatCol. John Jacob Astor has offered a$2,000 cup for the trial races, andthe yacht club committee has ac-cepted it. .
