THE PEOPLE 0F THE BARTH THEY ARE ALL TO BE NUMBERED IN ONE DaAY. CGigantle Censasâ€"Taking Scheme Evolvedâ€" Frospects that !t Will be Carried Ou A gicantic soheme has been evolved for numbering the people of the earth. It is the intention to select a day in the year 1900, and have an army of census takers start out on that parâ€" ticular day in every quarter of the globs and count the heads of every ;rson upon whom the sun rises. Thel ports are all to be sent in to a cenâ€" tral establishment at Berne, and . so the greatest census taking on record will be completed by the actual countâ€" ing of the peop!e of the world. Some say that the scheme is not poSâ€" sible of accomplishment, but it will be done, and no effort will be left unâ€" made and no expense spared to have the returns accurate. They expect that the most difficult part of their undertaking will be to count the millions of China and the vast bordes of savages in the interior of Africa, How they hope to prevail upon the fierce tribes of the Dark Conâ€" tinent to submit to the counting proâ€" cess, when t hose savages have resislted all provious efforts of the white man to make friends with them, the proâ€" moters of the census scheme do not say.

Where the profits have proved small the Government is not exacting the royalty. The fact is wages have been too high.

A Mr. Anderson showed me hbis Government I receipt for $11,850 paid â€" as royalty. _ That means bhe paid on $118,500, to ! which must be added the exemption of _ £2,500, making his total output $121,â€" 00%; and he was not likely to exaggerâ€" _ ate, since he had to pay 10 per cent. on it. He bas invested all his net proâ€" fit in the purchase of another ming. ‘Thers is not much slir in the sale of mining claims, as the moneyed, men will not arrive till the steamers come up from St. Michaels, about July 20. AN ORDERLY TOWN. Dawson is a very orderly town. Seriâ€" ous crimes against the person are alâ€" most unknown. No one carries a knife | or gun around town, nor, I believe, out of it, unless when bringing down gold. | No weapon has been ever drawn in |\ any quarrel. There has never been an | attempt _ at a "holdâ€"up" or | personal | robbery, though tens of thousands of :\ doilars in dust are daily coming down L | without escort from the mines. The . | promptness with which the police have | dealt with criminals and the punishâ€" r )\ ment meted out by the courts have had â€"|a salutary effect, and any order isâ€" â€"| sued by authority is promptly obeyed. c\ In arecent case of stealing gold dust from a miner‘s cabin a sentence of five t | years‘ imprisonment was imposed. A few evenings ago seven debtors were intending to go out without setâ€" tling up and bhad already bought their tickets by the May Queen for Seattle. Their gold sacks and baggage were on board, and the hour was at hand for bidding Dawson goodâ€"bye, when the Deputy Sheriff, armed with a sheat of writs of attachment against their goods came aboard and suggested the prompt payment of the claims. Other intending absconders have got a lesson,and found ixt wiser to square up before going on board. Thfle largest church in Dawson, that of Father Judge, was accidentally burned down a couple of weeks ago, | and the adjoining bospital, full of paâ€"} tients, was with difficulty saved. ‘ $2,000 SALOON LICENSE. | Heretofore liquor vendors paid "0‘. tax for the privilege. This spring Mr.| Bulyea, of the Northwest Government | arrived, and put in force a license sysâ€"l tem, with afee of $2,000. This would | seem pretty steep to an outsider, but‘ here it was paid without a murmut. Whiskey sold last winter as high as $75 i a gallon, though it now sells at $30. The | cetailers charge 50 cents to $1 a glass, and the saloons are doing a rushing trade. f Few drunken men are to be seen, however, and no noisy ones. You may pass the saloons night or day and never hear a sound of a quarrel or loud words The police do not bring in. on an averâ€" age more than three drunks a week. For .pogull.tion of 8,000 or 9,000 that is a pretty good showing. Mr. Cawkerâ€"But how do you know is it is a secret 1 Mrs. Cawkerâ€"How do I know? Why, everybody knows that it‘s a secret.
