to 101,100,000. As fares the United States pro- poris concerned, the figure is larger than was expected. There has been a check in the decline
of of the decennial percentage increase, which since the unoccupied Wes- tera territory became more or less settled bas been revealed in recent enumerations. For the decado 1890 to 1900 the percentage was 20.7, as compared with 30.1 for 1870 to 1880. For the first ten years of this century it is 21.

New Mexico, and Arizona between 50 and 100 per cant; and in Oklahoma, Idaho, and Washington over 100 per cent. In the Eastern Statea, anch ne New York, Connec- ticut, Massachusetts, and Reife Island, where the growth of population-surpasses-an-approxi mate average, the result is entirely due to the growth of the towns. New York City is a ease in point. It has grown sincs 1900 from 3.437,202 to 4,766,883. The towns on the Pacido coast have also grown enormously, as have the new commercial centres in the South, anch as Atlants and Birmingham.
JURY OF WOMEN.
VERDICT IN 20 SECONDS AGAINST A MAN.
Widespread comment has been excited by the action at San Francisco of the first jry in Americaerer composed exclusively of women. The case which they were called on to decide was one in which a divorogd husband was sued by his former wife. There were two okildren of the marriage. The daughter had been consigned to the care of the mother and the son to that of the father. On the petition of the mother the cag was reopened, and the judge summoned twelve. "good women and true from among the spectators to act as a jury. After a deliberation lasting twenty spconds, the jury of women decided that the divorced man was not a fit person to have snything to do with the apbringing of his offspring. Newspaper. comment on the "Twenty-second verdict discloses a comic state of alarm at the prospect of juries of women being allowed to decide the fato at man in matrimonial disputes.
