The English government is called the "Court of St. James" because of the old palace, although all of it that now remains is the picturesque gateway of the present palace of St. James. After Westminster was burned Henry VIII obtained a grant which gave him all the land between Charing Cross and Westminster as a royal manor. This gave him "York palace," the residence of Cardinal Wolsley, and St.
James. to Whitehall and connected it with St. He changed the name York palace James by St. James Park. Royalty lived here when in town from the time of Henry VIII to William Ill.
When Whitehall was burned Kensington was bounght but St. James was still the court palace. All state ceremonials have taken place in the palace since the reign of William and Mary, and hence the English court is called the "Court of St. James."

Was Taken on Dog Sleds Under Numerous Difficulties. The Census Bureau recently completed the enumeration of the district of Alaska. The schedules have been at the office and are now in received process of tabulation, says the Washington Post. The director of the census has given out the following statement with reference to the work in the great territory: "Mr. Samuel C.
Dunham, who had charge of the work in the Northern district, returned to Washington a few days ago and submitted his final report Many of the special agents had great difficulties to overcome and suffered great hardships, but all completed their work. Perhaps the most difficult district to enumerate was that the Arctic coast from Point comprising Hope to Demarkation Point. Mr. Charles D. Bromer, the agent of the district, traveled two thousand miles by dog team during winter, and enumerated 1,860 people-24 whites, 9 Japanese and 1,837 natives.
"The native and mixed population of the Northern district of Alaska is 652. The most populous with respect to the native populations is the country lying between the mouth of the Yukon and Kuskoquin rivers, and extending back from the coast one hundred miles. Mr. Maurice Johnson, the agent for this district, traveled more than two thousand miles with dog teams, during persons, the all winter, of and whom are enumera- Indians. Mr.
Johnson reports that from December 1 to March 15 he visited 74 Indian villages. "The Nome district is the most populous in Northern Alaska. The enumeration showed a permanent white population on June of 2,704. During the summer about 18,000 people at Nome, about 2,500 these coming from Dawson. About 12,000 have returned to their homes in the States, leaving about 9,000 in the region contiguous to Nome." IT SAVED HIS LEG.
