Tract Will Be Needed4Freodom Ob
tained by "Making Goodl"'
A "city of vagabonds" 13 to be estab
lished by Nebraska, and all tramps,
drunkards or delinquents of other
kinds who drift Into that state will lie
in danger of being made citizens of the
new colony.
The "city" will not rob the penlten
tlary of any of Its prisoners, but Is In
tended to take care of that large class
of unfortunates designated by profes- '
slonal charity workers as "below the
poverty line." The bill creating the
now colony Is before the Nebraska
legislature.
It will be the first Institution of Its
kind in, the United States and as an
experiment along untried lines Is at
trading the attention of sociologists
everywhere. No real criminals will lie
admitted to citizenship, only unfortu
nates being accepted.
Big Acreage- Required.
The bill calls for'the establishment
of a colony on -th'e-'pralrios far from
the temptations flf-'a large city. The
size of the institution is not mentioned
in the bill, but its' backers think from
5,000 to 10,000 acres wlll be necessary
once the colony) 39 id full working or
der. In nddition to a big farming area,
there will be shops;pf ,all kinds, an iron
foundry, .shqoshop, a bookblnder.v,
a tailor shop, a furniture factory, a
pinning mill and similar industries.
The output of the colony will not como
in competition with that of private
concerns, but will be used in great
measure In the different state lnstltu-1
tions.
As described In the bill, its purpose 1
is "the establishment of a colony for
the detention, humane discipline and
reformation of male adults committed
as tramps, vagrants, inebriates and
those addicted to the excessive use of
cocaine, morphine and other narcotics
and unable to provide for those de
pendent upon them." j
Freedom on "Making Good." '
'When one coming within those lines
is brought before the proper authori
ties, instead of being sentenced to the
city jail or the state prison lie will he
sent to Vagabond City. No fixed
term of incarceration is settled upon,
but the delinquent la simply sent to
the city until he becomes self support
ing, after which he is sent back to
the world as a man able to take care
of himself. While In the "city" Ik
Is taught an occupation or trade, and
Instead of the man unable to support
himself he is sent out to the world
a skilled laborer.
It Is the belief of the supporters of
the bill that from two years to ten
years will be needed In which to make
the colonists self supporting.
Preparations nre now complete for
the taking of the census In Ireland.
For many decades the census In Ire
land has told a gloomy tale of dimin
ishing population, nnd the most hoped
for In 1011 is that, though the decrease
may be shown to continue, Its into
may show some check.
The plan in Ireland differed and Htill
differs from that at the 'other side of
the Irish sea. There they have an
army of specially appointed enumer
ators; in Ireland the work of collecting
the returns Is left to the police. One
of the features of the return which Is
exciting Increasing Interest Is that de
voted to language. Each person will
have to state whether he speaks Irish
only or both Irish nnd English or Eng
lish only. The figures will thus show
by comparison with former cases
whether the decay of Irish has been
effectually cheeked by the Gaelic
league and will mark those districts
where It has most real vitality.
Another question of importance af
fects the birth rate. Each married wo
man will have to state the duration of
her marriage and the number of chil
dren born of It nnd how many sur
vive. Ireland Is one of the few coun
tries which In this respect show little
change from census to census. The
actual birth rate is one of the lowest
In the world because of economic
causes lending to the restriction of
marriage. Hut the proportion of births
to marriages Is one of the highest in
the world, and the census of 1011 will
once more demonstrate that fact.
Ireland is the only part of the United
Kingdom in which there is a religious
census. Everybody is expected to state
his form of religious belief, though
there is no penalty for refusing to an
swer the question. I'rotestants are
urged to distinguish between their vari
ous denominations, and so far there
has never been any difficulty in ar
riving at a pretty exact estimate as to
all the churches.
TO SAVE FIGHTER'S HOME.
TOBACCO BLUNTS TASTE.
Smokers Must Havo Highly Soasoned
Foods, Woman Says.
"With the sense of taste atrophied
by tobacco, men must havo highly
seasoned foods to tickle their palates,
and the constant eating of such foods
disables the individual from recog
nizing delicate flavors."
So Dr. Elizabeth II. Dunn, instructor
of anatomical research at Chicago uni
versity, told the Chicago Medical so
ciety. She added that 70 per cent of
the sense of taste is lost by the habitu
al smoker over forty years of age. It
makes no difference whether he smokes
a pipe or cigars.
Strange revelations would occur to
civilized persons were thocenscs of
taste, touch and smell developed equal
ly, she said, with those of sight nnd
hearing. She said that in virtually all
persons the senses of taste, touch and
smell were either undeveloped or un
used and that the dormant state of
those senses was more marked In men.
Sons of Oriskany Hope to Preserve
Herkimer Mansion.
A small band of the lineal descend
ants of the devoted 800 who fought
under General Nicholas Herkimer In
the battle of Oriskany in the Mohawk
valley in 1777 dined and renewed ac
quaintance recently in New York.
These men are organized ns the Sons
of Oriskany. Only lineal descendants
of those who fought in that battle,
which the historian, John Klske, call
ed one of the most decisive battles
of the devolution, because It made
possible the later victory at Saratoga,
nre eligible to membership.
It was Colonel Campbell who learn
ed and put into practice In this battle
the putting of two men behind each
tree In fighting the Indians. The In
dian was in the habit of waiting until
a soldier had fired once from behind
a tree and then dashing forward to
brain him witli a tomahawk. With
two men behind each tree there was
always a reserve shot for lite attack
ing Indian. This now method of meet
ing the enemy, It is said, Is what won
the fight at Oriskany.
The project which the Sons of Oris
kany havo most at heart Is the pres
ervation by the stnte of the old Herki
mer mansion near Little. Falls. This
house, a fine type of the colonial, Is
intact, but sadly in need of repair.
CHURCH FOR LATE SPOONERS.
CLIPS HIS TOES FOR SPEED.
Arkansas Ball Player Thinks Their
Length Hinders.
Trobably laboring under the theory
that Mordecal Brown, star pitcher of
the Chicago National baseball team,
gained his efliciency when a finger
was snipped off by a thrashing ma
chine, Edward Griffith, who recently
signed for the Fort Smith team In
the Western association, has had his
toes cut off to Increase his swiftness
of foot,
Griffith formerly was a Little Itock
(Ark.) City league player of promi
nence, but found the nbnormal length
of his toes mitigated against attaining
any kind of speed as a base runner
and ultimately retarded his efforts to
attract managers In the larger base
ball circles.
Come at Midnight, Says Pastor, and
Avoid Lobster Palaces.
The Itev. John Thompson of the
Methodist Episcopal church In Whea
ton, near Chicago, has begun a cru
sade to Induce sweethearts to give up
expensive "lobster palaces," bring mid
night lunches and do their courting hi
the church pews.
His rules will allow the sentimental
ly stricken to stny late, with a big
room nnd piano and 100 pews ns roomy
as davenports.
"There la no better place in the
world for a young couple to do their
courting than in a church," announced
the pastor. "I believe In matchmaking
that is, In the right kind of match
making. "This talk about dinners at 'lobster
palaces' and expensive seats at thea
ters and taxicab bills is a mistake. A
good girl who really loves a man does
not want to see him make n fool of
himself when he is courting her nny
more than she wants to see him do so
after they are married."
Quinine bv the Ton.
A ton of quinine, divided into twenty
grain doses, recently formed a part of
the cargo of a steamship from Phila
delphia to Brazil.

CHECK WAS POSTAGE STAMP.
On It Bank Depositor Wrote Order to
Pay 20 Cents.
Probably the smallest check (though
not for the smallest amount) over pre
sented to a bank was cashed In Snn
Francisco when Joseph Taylor of San
Rafael received 20 cents on presenta
tion of a canceled two cent stamp
which had been used by II. II. Mar
cus of the Marin County Promotion
league as a check.
"This is the most dlmluutlvo check
ever presented to nny banking Insti
tution to my knowledge," said an offi
cial of the Marin County bank, "but
as long as there wero funds to meet
the demand for payment there could
bo no objection to the blank on which
the order to pay was written."

"On April 0, 1880, I was n carpenter
In Chicago. I had been In 111 health

the theater with two companions.
After leaving the playhouse we walked
through State street, nnd I saw a sign
In a railroad ticket office. It read,
'Cut rate to California; $14 to San
Francisco.' I wns greatly Impressed
ind told my friends I would like to

"We talked over tho matter for half
an hour, and tho following day saw us

finally decided to turn our backs for
