Deafness on the whole, a recent census report says, Is more common l" the northern part of the United States than In the southern, and there are more deaf males than fe males. The total number of deaf In the United Slates is given as 89,879, of whom 37,4 26 were totally deaf, and 51,861 partially deaf. From tho lat ter classes are eliminated those mere ly "hurd of hearing." The census report of 1890 gave the number of persons deaf as 121.178. and the opinion Is expressed that tho returns for 1890 are undoubtedly ex cessive, while those for 1900 are de ficient. Of the totally deaf, 52.5 per cent were males. Negroes constitute 11.6 per cent of the general popula tion and only 5.2 per cent of the deaf. Of the totally deaf 99 per cent were so from childhood (under 20 years of age), and 36 per cent from birth of the 89,828 persons returned as deaf. 55,301 were able to speak well, 941" Imperfectly, and the remainder not at all. The report presents figures to show that the schools for the ileaf are do ing excellent work in teaching articu late HiK-cch. When the subject of deafness Is considered from the point of view of consanguinity It would seem heredity has played an import ant part in producing congenital deafness and the deafness occurred In adult life. BRISTOL GETS COMMISSION. United StatcM Attorney Appointed Over Protest of Fulton. Tho new commission of United States District Attorney William C. Bristol camo by mall toduy from Washington, Buys the Oregon Dully Journal, It shows on Its face the con fidence tliut President Roosevelt re poses In him, for It Is dated June 30,. tho very day thut the senate adjourn ed. Senator Fulton hud opposed the nomination of Bristol und the senate took no action. The president could, only. wait until tho senuto udjourn and then, If ho saw fit, muku what la known as a recess appointment. That this was done ut the first possible moment Is deemed u compliment to Bristol and conclusive evidence thut so far as tho president Is concerned, he Is being given a "siiuure deal." Under this new commission Bristol, holds office from July 1 until the close of the next session of congress, which will curry him Into July of next year. In tho' meantime many things may happt-n und It Is not im probable thut Bristol will yet bo reg ularly confirmed. The new appointment necessitated taking the oath of office anew. At xiioon toduy District Attorney Bristol went before Judge Hunt, who admin istered the required oath. Stories were circulated und pub lished eurly In tho month that while Bristol would probably be reappoint ed he would lose several days' pay. The commission shows thut the reap pointment wus mude on tho very duy thut the old commission expired. Quick Relk'f for Asthma Sufferers.
