Chamber or Woe Where Kine Million ilcrt- ijages Are Recorded. WOMEN MORE EFFICIENT TH&N MEN icoiiresfokdexci or thi msr ATcn.J Washiotos-, April 18. The work of the new census goes rapidly on and to-day 5,500 heads sre buzzing with figures and 7,000 hauds are working atrsj on the re ports that hare come in by the millions from every nook and corner of the United States. It is impossible to conceive the immensity of this stock-taking. The counting of the people themselves mi a gigantic task but it was completed months ego, and we now know that wo have just about 63,000,000 of souls in the United States. Each one of these people, however, has a history, and the story of every one has been written down on a page of Ions fools cap paper and has been sent here to Wash ington. There are 65,000,000 of these pages, end one of the census officers tells me that if these were made of the thinnest of writing paper and laid fiat one on top of the other, they would make a pile of sheets higher than the "Washington Monument and eo lieavy that it would take several camel back engines to carry them. The counting of the people from these slips was done within a few weeks and the count Was Iteslstered by Electricity. Commissioner of the Census Porter tells me Lis machinery is such that hit could count the tvbole world in three months, and this count lug is going en here in a way that has been done in no census heretofore. The Austrian Government has just written asking about it, aitd the Germans, English and French ere looking on with wonder at our electrical census taking. With these machines Mr. Porter's clerks counted 4,000,000 people a oay, and he had for a time relays of clerks so that the work went on day and night, and tuej-esult is that this census is being taken quicker than any census of history. The tenth census, that of 1880, published nothing to speak of until 18S3, and its com pendium was not out until that date. Mr. Porter tells me that he will have the com pendium of this census published and in the hands of the people before the next Con gress meets, and this compendium will con sist of two large volumes about the size of "Blackstone's Commentaries," and it will contain the complete summary of all the in formation gathered during the present cen sus. The work of the census will altogether comprise 11 large volumes each the size of the average law book. Counting Done by Electricity. The greatest part of this work is done by electricity. These millions of schedules are handed over to hundreds of clerks, and they by a system of numbers strike keys in a sort of a crlbbage board machine, which punches holes In little cards in such places as tell exactly what the schedules record. The cards are twice as long a a postal card and of the same width. By looking nt them the clerks can tell whether the man was a koldier, a pauper or an idiot, whether he was ik criminal or a preacher, or whether the card represents the record of a woman or a child of 2 months old. It will tell whether the jroman is married, 6ingle, widow or divorced, tnd each of these records is made by the pouching of a button instead of by writing out the lull name. It is a shorthand run by a typewriting machine, and it is so rapid that one woman put down the histories of 50,000 people in one day upon 50,000 of these cards. These cards are of uniform fcize. Each man, woman and child of the United States will have one of them here. They will be properly stored away and indexed, and a hundred years from now your children's children will be able to come here and to find outallnboutyou, to rake np the record of your diseases and to know whether you were married, divorced, in debt, insane, and the Lord knows what ehe. A Very Kear Approach to Intelligence. After these holes are punched on the card it is taken to another typewriting machine run by electricity before which another bright-eyed nimble-fingered girl sits, and she, by putting the card under a metal plate and shoving a punch, records on a dial just what there is on the card. At this same time a little box opens automatically tor the cards that are like one another, and in this" way the generalization is done. It is done in such a manner that it cannot make mistakes aud with the least possible amount of brain work on the part of the operator. It is the nearest approach of material sub stance being made to do the work of an in telligent being I have ever seen, and it is es timated that it will sa-ve the Government hundreds of thousands of dollars. Each of these machines is run by electric ity. They look like little cabinet orcans, and, as the keys are struck, bells ring on each of the machines and the whole room jingles as though an hundred silvery sleigh bells were being shaken at the same time. They were invented by a young man named Hollerith, who wus connected with the last census, aud who gets 53 a day for each ma chine. I underitaud that the Austrian Government intends to introduce them into its census taking, and the process will prob ably be adoptedeverywhere. Commissioner Porter's 13 Ig Cannery. I visited the diffetent buildings of the Cen sus with Mr. Porter, the Commissioner. He is a dark-laced, bright-eyed, black-haired, well-dressed young man of about 37, who has for the past 18 years been delving in iacts and figures aud making money out ot the diggings. At 18 he went on the Chicago Inter Ocean, and a lew years later traveled nil over the West getting up information for that paper about the Western States. The Inter Ocean paid him well for this and he sold the letters in book form after it was over to a publisher for a thousand dollars. He was connected with the last census, with the tariff commission and his whole life has been one of facts and figures. Aswewett from building lo building located at wide distances apart over the city, 1 re'erred to the immense amount which the United States was paying in rent and asked him what his rents amounted to. He replied that the Census paid $40,000 a year and that the Government could make a big interest by constructing its own build ing. The building in which the Census clerks do their chiel work is a narrow, tall cheap affair constructed for flats and another building, McDowell's mill, near the Capi tol. Cans rilled 'With Record Cards. This building is more like a cannery or a factory than a Government warehouse. Upon entering it I found its walls uuplas tercd and great rows of tin cans packed in piles one on top of the other so that a hall as big as the average Town Council room was filled with tbem. Each of these cans was 20 inches long. 7 inches high and 3 inches Tide, room and they are made for the storing of these record cards for the use of the elec trical counters. While I was looking at them a terrible din was going on overhead. It mtde mo think of a boiler factory, and I asked what Wks being done. "That," said Mr. Porter, "is where the cards are being numbered. Each one of these 65,000,000 cards hat to be numbered so that we can tell where to find it and where it belong). There are only two big patent numbering machines in the United Statei and the owners wanted the job of numbering these cards. They said that one man with a hand machine could number only 300 cards a day, and that U vras impossible for the Government to get alone without their ma chines. They Asked an Exorbitant Price and they thought we would have to pay it. I tried the hand machines and found that instead of 300, a smart workman could number 30,000, and we have some who num ber 42,000 a day. The result is that we can number 1.500,000 a day, and we do it for a bagatelle compared with what the other men wanted. Bat let us go up and see. At this moment we stepped upon an ele vator of the kind you find in the mills for the raising of wheat and were pulled up to the second floor. The din increased as we went up and the noise was that of a nail factory when we stepped out. About 100 men sat at long, rough tables all in their shirt sleeves and each having a heavy metal sump in his hand. These they brought down on the cards for all the world just like the post office clerks cancel the stumps on the letters, save that each stamp fell on a card and gave it a number, and this num bering was consecutive and the cards were then ready to be taken up to the Census Office for use. Nino Million Tales of Woe. Taking a cab, we next drove to the big gest chamber ot sorrow in the United States. Imagine a room about 50 feet long, 20 feet wide and 15 leet high and pack this with long tiers of shelving running in aisles through the center of the room and reaching from the floor to the ceiling. Make the walls ot this room of iron and vault it at the roof with fire-proof cement. Fill these shelves with great packages of files bo that they burst out into the aisles and let the files consist of thin slips of paper not much bigger than a postal card but each covered with notes and figures. These are the records of all the mortgages of the United States. The same of every man who has a mortgage debt is recorded oil one of these files. The date of his mortgage is there, the rate of interest he pays, and in some cases the reason lor which it was given. There are 9,000,000 of such records, and it is safe to say that 8,600,000 of them keep the men who "gave the mortgages awake at night and worry them from day to day. Each one of those slips could tell a Story of Hope and Misfortune. Each one of them is full of pathos, and the collection is the most remarkable that has been ever gotten together by a census or nnythmg else. When Mr. Porter suggested it he was laughed at, but the more Congress thought of his suggestion the more interested they became in it, and the result is we have now a record of the personal indebtedness of the whole United States. It took a small army of special agents to get It, but these agents overhauled the records in every State and Territory; they traveled on horseback and on foot through the most sparsely settled parts of the country, and the information gained has been tabulated in such a way that you can get the exact number and amoutit of mortgages in the different States, the rate of interest paid and the number of acres mortgaged. When the reports are published, this bureau will bring forth some very astonish ing fact.. It will show, for instance, -that 9 per cent of the lands in Iowa are mortgaged and that the farmers pay from 1 to 20 per cent for the use of their money, while in Alabama the interest rate ranges as high as 40 per cent Bow the Towns Are Growing. "Tell me, Mr. Porter," said I, "some of the most striking things you have discov ered in vour collection of the census." "Well, one," replied Mr. Porter, "is that the people are leaving the country and going to the cities, and another is that our native American women are decreasing in numbers year by year as mothers of chil dren. The largest families in the United States, and especially in New England, are those in which the mothers are of foreign birth, and I believe that the growth of cities has decreased the rate of increase in our population. The birth rate in our cities is notoriously low, and a tendency ii to small families, especially among the well-to-do. During the past ten years the cities have been growing at the expense of the country, and in Massachusetts, for instance, lully 70 per cent of the people live in cities. " In 1820 only one man in 20 lived in town, and in 1790, "29 people out of every 30 in the United States lived in the country and away from villages. In 1860 one man in six was living in the cities. Ten years later one man in every five lived in the cities, and now out of everv ten men, women and children in the United States, three of these are living in cities or villages. Figures on Foreign Immigration. "We are giving a very full set of statis tics this year of all matters relating to foreign immigration, and we will show among other things Jhat the number of Hebrews among us are increasing. The persecutions in Kussia have driven a great many Hebrews to this country." We then went to the Inter-Ocean build ing, where I found a thousand and more men and women working away at tabulat ing machines and rattling at type-writers .like so many corn shelters. One room con tained about 50 of these type-writers. A young ladv sat behind each and the type writers were arranged in double file up and down the long room, forming a 'very pretty picture. I asked Mr. Porter as to the work of the women as compared with that of the men. He replied: "In the use of the tabulating machines end in counting, they are far superior. I had two women at (000 a year and six men nt the same work, each of which got $900 a year. I found the two women accomplished just as much as the six men and that I was getting from them for $1,200 just what cost me through the men $5,400." Fbank G. Caspenibb. Rheumatism, Few diseases cause more pain and suffer ing than rheumatism; persons afflicted with that disease, or who have friends troubled by it. will, we believe, be deiighted to learn that it can be cured. The following from Mr. J. A. Stum, Des Moines, la., is only one of the many severe cases that have promptly yielded to Chamberlain's Pain Balm. Mr. Stum says: "I suffered with the terrible disease for four weeks and used everything I could think of without success until I commenced using Chamberlain's Pain Balm which gave me almost immediate relief. I am now perfectly well from it. For stiff joints I never saw its equal aud take great pleasure in recommending it to mv friends and all others who may be afflicted with rheumatism." wsu Jimp A-vrxn-tos jCherg vera 23,000 of tbemia tha.tLW9 Pen avenue.
