are universally believed to abbrevi-
ate mans term Of life. From the
age Of twenty till he was seventy
he was an habitual drinker, and for
a long part Of that time such con-
firmed tippler that his health was
seriously affected, and it was be-
lieVed that he could not survive
long. Forty-six years he has not
tasted intoxicating drinks, except
as medicine. In 1850 he fought a
bloodless duel with a brother SOL
der, and ten years later, in a SINH
lar encounter with another antago-
mist, he was so desperately wounded
that it was two years before he fully
recovered. At one time he suffered
a double fracture of his right Leo
by a caissOn wagon running over
it. He was also wounded twice
while fighting in battle. He has
had the yellow fever, and has been
repeatedly prostrated by the other
malarial fevers that prevail in all
parts of South America.
1t seems so remarkable that one
should be preserved to such an ex-
traordinary age after passing
through so many adventures and
accidents by field and flood. Roias
is the son Of Spanish nobleman
who fled his country for a political
offense, and settled in Chill under
an assumed name. The son lived
almost half a century before he
found out the true history of his
father, and upon the discovery he
made trip to Spain, and succeeded
in obtaining from the government
the title and possession of valuable
property which had been confs.,
Gated. This is the only voyage Ro-
jas has ever made away from his
native country. The venerable old
man has ample means and is sur
rounded by a numerous line of de-
pendants, consisting Of children,
grand children, great -grand-chil-
dren, great-great and great-great-
great-grand-children

st. Louis Globe Democrat
A merchant of this city, who
recently returned from tour o
South America, has given a repor
ter Of the Globe Democrat an ae.
count of a remarkable old man he
saw in the city of Tulca, Chill
whose name is Felix Roias, and
who has undoubtedly reached the
age Of 1876 years. Roias was born
in 1740, and at an early age entered

The will Of the late Mary M.
Danser, daughter of the late Mat
thias Danser, by which large sums
of money were devised to charita-
bic associations, and which was
contested by Smith NJ. Danser, an
uncle of Miss Danser, and by other
relatives, is to be no longer a mat
ter of litigation, the contest having
been discontinued. Under Miss
Dansers will there were specific
legacies to charitable and religious
associations to the amount of about
1925, 900, and under residuary
clause about S200,000 was devised
in trust to Thomas f. jeremiah,
the executor named in the will, to
be distributed by him among such
charities as in his discretion he
chose to select as benefciaries.
General objections were at first set
up by Mr.. W. 0. Bartlett, counsel
for the contestants, but these we're
finally narrowed down to impeaoh-
ing the legal soundnesS of the resi-
duary clause, and Surrogate Calvin
was asked to construe the will. Mr..
Dyett, counsel for Mr.. Jeremiah,
the executor, held that the surro-
gate had no jurisdiction, and the
case was taken to the Supreme
Court for ruling. Within a few
days, however, counsel on both
sides expressed a desire to arrange
the matter briefly, and it was finally
agreed that the specific legacies to
charitable and religious institutions
should be sustained, and that the
residuary clause, giving Mr.. Jere-
mlah power to dispose of 5000, 900
among charitable bodies of his own
selection, should be declaredinvalid, |
on account of the clause being in.
definite, obscure and uncertain.
Surrogate Calvin accepted this ar
rangement and yesterday ordered
decree to be entered to the above
effect. Yesterday afternoon Mr..
Jeremiah was qualified as executor. |
The amount provided for in the
clause of the will reverts |
to the heirs-at-law and next of kin
of Miss Danser.
