acknowledgement that Bell Did.

New ORLEANS, Feb 3.-The case of
the American Bell Telephone Company
VS.. The National Improved Telephone
Company, came up to-day, before the L.
5. Circuit Court, Judges Pardee and Bill
lings presiding, Mr.. Farrar, of counsel
for the defense, submitted motion to
continue the case indefinitely. The
points raised by the defendants cover the

of articulatc speech through the medium
Of electricity. They claim that Phillip
Reiss, of Germany, and not Bell is the
inventor of the telephone; that Bell pro-
cured by fraud the contents of the cavcat
of Prof. Elisha Gray, through which
knowledge he was first enabled to trans

Increase of Longevity.

Interesting evidence that the average
length of human life has been steadily
increasing for some time past is deduced
from a comparison of the ages at death
of Yale College graduates early in the
eighteenth century and late in the nine
teenth. Mr.. DeSter's recent volume on
the annals of that institution from 1701
to 1145 shows that of 413 graduates dur
ing that period 1913 lived beyond 10-that
is to say, 30 out Of every 100. On the
other hand, of G12 alumni whose deaths
were reported between 1875 and 1885,
there were 261 who had passed their sew.

put it in another way, during the first
half of the eighteenth century a gradu-

last quarter of the nineteenth century he
stands 40 chances out of 100 of reaching
that age, The gain in longevity is natur.

As to the american Came of Poker

1tis an interesting TACT that America
must relinquish the claim of having in
vented the gamblers favorite game of

Persians is in principle poker, pure and
simple, and betting often run, high with

GARLAND-ED WITH SCANDAL.
The Cabinet Savors Too Strongly of Pan
Electric for the President.

Electric lOr tne IfeSluent'
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The dimen-
sions which the telephone scandal has as
sumed is said to be cause Of great an
noyance to the President, who is reported
tonight to have finally agreed to pri-
vate interview with the Attorney General,
in order that the latter may have an OPP
portunity of replying to the charges made
against him. Mr.. Garland's resignation
is looked upon as the only course now
open by which the embarrassment Of a
Congressional investigation can be avoid
cd by the Administration, and it is un-
derstood that the consideration of this
plan has progressed far enough to involve
an inquiry into the fitness of j. Randolph
Tucker of Virginia, the present Chair
man of the House Judiciary Committee,
for Mr.. Garland S place.

The results of experiments with eigh-
teen varieties of cheese are given in Bic
dermdna's CenfrdlbldH. Chcddar, rich
and highly favored English cheese, was
digested in the shortest time, four hours,
while unripe skim cheese required ten.
There is little difference in the digcstibi-
lity of all sorts of hard cheese or all soft
cheese. Fat cheeses dissolved the most
rapidly. Taking into consideration the
quantity of nitrogen dissolved, the wri
ter concluded that on account of its great
proportionate digestibility, cheese is the
most nourishing of all foods except meat
and eggs.

NEW YORK, June 4.-The stock market was
again active, the bulls controlling the situa-
ton. The financial statement of the North
western road, showing a surplus for the year
of S1,250, 600, was very favorabIy received,
the stock advancing on it a point from the
opening. The most conspicuous advance of
the day, however, was in the Omaha stocks.
The bull party in it comprised some of the
heaviest Chicago Spectators, and the talk
was that the preferred stock was booked for
1l2, and the common for 80 IL was stated
that the annual report, TO be given out to-
day. would show 7 per cent. earned on
the preferred and on the common stock,
with a surplus beside. Some of the lighter
fancies began to sympathiZe with the boom
in the rest of the market. Minneapolis & ST.
Louis advanced per cent. aad Texas Pacific
and Kansas IL Texas scored about per cent.
advance. A notable feature was the heavi-
ness of st. Paul, which heretofore led the
market. a fractional rally occurred in it,
however, after the rest OF the market had ad-
vanced from one to two points. The move
ment in Omaha continued all day, the stock
recording an advance of three points.
The talk was that the common would
be put to 80 within the next
thirty days. Richmond & West Point
dropped 2 per cent. on large realizing sales
There was some bull talk on Canada Southern.
and it was noticed that bull pools were being
formed in all the cheaper fancies. The bull
leaders said that the market was now thor
ougly bullish in temper, and predicted
further general advance of to 10 per cent.
The upward movement in Western Union it
was claimed, was caused by free covering on
the part of shorts who were scared in by the
strength of the general list. The market
closed higher all around than the opening,
with the Changers and Union Pacific leading
the bull movement.
