The Duquesne Observer, June 8, 1900 SAID IT WAS NONE OF HIS BUSINESS. How the Census Enumerators Are Being Received and Treated. ALL WORKING BY THE NAME. The census enumerators of Duquesne got to work last Friday and are making good progress. The returns cannot be learned, however, until the government sees fit to make them public. John S. Cole, who has all that part of the First ward below the railroad to cover, is doing good work, notwithstanding the fact that he has the worst district of town. Frank T. Connolly, who has the First ward above the railroad, has worked his way up the hill to Second street. John C. Delo is in charge of the work in the Second ward and is making better time than any of the others, so much so that he will probably complete the task within two weeks. Samuel Ferderler of the Third ward has the largest district, but is doing very well. Little real trouble has been experienced by the enumerators in obtaining the data. One woman -- an American at that -- informed one of them that it was non of his business who her husband was, or when she was born, or how many children she had. The enumerator tried to explain his duty, but she would not listen to him and finally shut the door in his face. She will be given another opportunity to answer the questions, and if she still refuses she will be placed under arrest and held until she changes her mind. Some of the foreigners do not understand the object of the census and upon approach of the enumerators, throw up their hands and groan: "Me do nothing bad," etc. Some difficulty is being experienced, also, in catching up with the boarders and roomers at the hotels and boarding houses, the men nearly all being absent during working hours. The enumerators of Duquesne are not working by the day, but by the name. They receive two cents for the name of every living person and five cents for the names of the dead. They also receive five cents for every head of horses or cattle. Thus they are enabled to earn about $4 per day. The Marriage of L. N. McDonald and Miss Lottie Schwartz. THE ROBSON-ROWE NUPTIALS. Other Social Affairs That Have Afforded Much Pleasure for the People of Duquesne This Week. Simple, but beautiful in detail and amid most pleasing surroundings Miss Lottie C. Schwartz became the wife and bride of Louis N. McDonald Tuesday evening. The ceremony was performed in parlor "A" of Hotel Henry, Pittsburg, the officiating clergyman being Rev. J. Walker Miller, pastor of the Presbyterian church of this place. The only witnesses of the happy union were, Charles McDonald and wife and Mrs. J. Walker Miller of Duquesne and Mr. and Mrs. Schwartz of the East End, Pittsburg. Following the ceremony an elegant dinner was served at the hotel, after which Mr. and Mrs. McDonald departed for their honeymoon, which they will spend in Philadelphia, Washington, Old Point Comfort, New York and other points of interest in the east. Upon their return to Duquesne they will go to housekeeping in Mr. McDonald's palatial residence, corner Kennedy avenue and South Sixth street, where they will be "at home" to their friends after August 1. Mr. McDonald is a widely-known and deservedly popular young gentleman and one of the Carnegie company's most efficient employees at this place. His bride has been one of the most successful teachers of the Duquesne public schools for several years and is an accomplished, charming lady.
