The Cimo of Dr. Ilurtsell.
Tlio Rev. Dr. Richard 1ilor UurUtell,

to perform thu duties of that oillce until

first American incumbent of the oillce.
Ho was an earnest friend of Dr. Me

brought about by hi devotion to thu Henry

Is tic. disciplined. Archbishop Corrlgau

Fifty yearn ago ten months were allowed
for the completion of thu United State

tho work on It. Lightning ha been har

prising liveliness.
This Is accomplished liy means of uu
electrical counting machine. Tho opera

as If it were a piano, each key pressed

small squares, each of which has a peculiar
significance, as age, sex, color, married or

circuits which register tho resultsnn dials,

It is said that a skillful operator on one
of these machine can compile tho statistic
