THE STORAGE OF LIFE.
How We ThoughtIessIy or IgnorantIy Waste
Our Vitality.

Youths Companion.s
Within each ton of coal was stored, long
before the creation of man, definite amount
of heat, which, by the chemical process of
combustion, may be made available for
mans use. A barrel of wheat contains a
fixed amount of food. Electricity can now
be stored, and bought and sold in measured
quantity.
Each person has definite amount of
stored life, normally equal to about 100
years. but, in most cases, our ancestors have
squandered much that should have come to
us, and we ourselves waste not little that
we have actually inherited.
This wasting of our store of life is as seri-
Gus thing as it is common. 1t may be
done thoughtlessly or ighorantly, but the
waste is Just as irretrievable. Tens of
thousands of children die annually, and as
many more survive, with a sadly wasted
vitality, simply because their mothers do
not exercise enough care in the matter of
food, clothing, pure air and sunshine.
Our schools waste this store by drawing
too largely on the brain and nerves of their
pupils through the competitive system, the
worry of public examinations; through ex-
acting the same tasks of the bright and of
the dull. and through lack of adequate and
persistent attention to the sanitary condition
of the schoolrooms.
Some parents allow their children to
waste their supply of nervous force by the
incessant reading of sensational books, or
by frequent attendance at exciting evening
parties, and some by not insisting on regu-
lar and sufficient sleep.
Women waste it by overwork and worry
of their homes, and it is a very rapid waste.
Cav Young ladies and fast Young men waste
it at fearful rate in their rounds of pleas
ure. Only next is the waste of high living,
conjoined with excessive devotion to bust
ness.
OF all the professions, the medical wastes
the life-store most rapidly by irregular and
broken sleep, night exposure and the con-
slant drain on the sympathies and the nerv-
GUS system. 1t seems a pity that those
whose great work is to save and prolong the
life of others should have to do it at the ex-
pense of their own.

WASHINGTON, March 1s.-It is believed
at the DEPARTMENT. of State that the Samo-

Three People Have Narrow Escape of Be-

A fire took place early on Sunday morn
ing at No. 2125 Wharton street Southslde,
which is being investigated thoroughly on
account of suspicious circumstances. The
children of the late Mr. and Mrs. Schaefer live
there. They were aroused by the shouts of an
old lady, who lives in the rear of the Schaefer
residence. Engine Company No. II squelched
the flames before they had gone far.
Squire Ammon, who visited the scene of the
fire, stated yesterday that there are undoubted
evidences of incendiarism, because the house
was on fire in three places at the same time. In
addition to that it has been found out that sew
eral men have been noticed prowling around
the Schaefer residence lately under very sus-
picious circumstances. The Schaefers, how
ever, appear to be entirely unconscious Of hav-
ing any enemies.

HARRISBURG, March 1S.-Representa-

appropriate $62, 900 to pay the Indebtedness
of the West Pennsylvania Hospital. This
item was stricken out of the former
bill in committee, on the ground
that no money should be appropriated
to the charitable institutions, except for
maintenance. The bill introduced by Mr..
Lemon tonight recites that the indebted
ness was incurred in the years since 1880 for
the maintenance of charity patients and dis
charged soldiers, and mortgage had to be
given to meet the indebtedness.

matter may induce favorable action on the

fFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
HARRISBURG, March 1S.-A member of

mango, has received many letters on the
subject of his candidacy for Governor since
the recent publication in The DISPATCH.
Prominent men in all parts of the State
have communicated with him, and he will
have great deal of strength4f he will con-

ent Republicans are for him, though he did
not vote for their candidate, Stewart.
The legislator above quoted says ex-Sen-
ator Lee will not, however, enter the field
personally unless there is distinct and de-
cided demand for him. The signs are not
wanting that at the proper time there will
be movement of no mean proportions to
bring him out.

burger in Paris.


A letter was received in the city yesterday
from Fred Carroll by one of his friends. The
letter was written in Paris, and it chiefly refers
to the excellent enjoyment all the players of
Mr.. Spalding's two teams are having. After
reciting how all the great people and poten-
tates" have fraternized with the American ball
players, Carroll relates a pleasant little Incl
dent that occurred in Paris.
His story is to the effect that he, Wood and
Fogarty were wandering about Paris like
three lost men. They looked into a theater and
met Casper, the well-known bookmaker of
this city. He had been in Paris few weeks
and knew his way about" Carroll saws his
presence was blessing. Casper became their
pilot, and they had good time in the French
capital. Carroll added that every man in the
party was longing to get into an English speak
ING country.
He concluded his letter by saying that all
the players in the AllAmerica team had made
up their minds to stick to Spalding until his
programme is ended.

THE RECENT RIOTS IN CHINA.
Secretary Blaine Receives Official News of
the Outrages Mt Chin Kiang.

the OutraRes Mt Chin Kiang.
WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The Secretary
of State has received from Mr.. Kennedy,
United States Consul General, at Shanghai,
a report on the recent riots at Chin Kiang,
China. 1t appears that on February the
Consul General received from General
Jones, at Chin Kiang, telegraphic news of
the riot and threatened attack on the con-
sulate, and request for protection. As
there was no American man-of-war imme-
diately available, the British Consul Cen
eral was communicated with and British
man-ofwar was started from Shanghai on
February 6, for Chin Kiang. On that day
the British Consulate and four other houses
at Chin Kiang were burned, and the Office
of the American Consul gutted and looted
by mob of about 5000. Mr.. Jones and
family escaped injury.
These facts were communicated to our
Minister, at Peking. The Consul General at
Shanghai has also reported that there was
late runor that more buildings had been
destroyed, among them the residences of
some American missionaries.

and Others.
The Britishers have developed another phe-

and George Smith, the local sprinter, received
letter from England yesterday stating that
Grant is matched to run Wharton. The letter
goes on to say that Grant is considered to be
about three yards better than even time.
This is interesting, in view of the fact that
that johnson, Davis ct al. have been running
on muddy tracks in much better time than
this Tue Sheffield authorities are either
handling comparatively slow men, even in
Wharton and Grant. or johnson and his COL
leagues are deceiving the public. The latter
seems TO be the fact.
