LONGEVITY.

A st. Paul party recently called in
question the statement that people of
extreme age are more common now
than in the last century, and cited.
among other instances, his immediate
family ancestors, the HOLYOKEs. One
of them, who lived to more than hun
dred years, was president of Harvard
college for long period. His son Ed
WARD was noted physician, and very
active at public dinner given him on
his hundredth birthday in Boston.
Others of the connection attained about
the same age. The papers now almost
daily report deaths of people who have
passed the hundredth year. Several of
the highest medical authorities in New
York have recently published opinions
that the average length of life is in
creasing. They attribute this to better
sanitation and increased attention to the
diet and health. 1t is insisted also that
increase of years is more marked in this
country than any other. The life ex-
pectancy in the United States is now
fifty-five years, and it has the lowest
death rate of any country that at
fords data to compare. The expectancy
in England is fifty years in the cities
and fifty-four in the country. Russia
has the highest death rate of any Euro
pean country, and the life expectancy
is but twenty-eight years. In all civilized
lands the average Of life is greater than
in the good old eras of simple habits
sometimes Wanted. In England three
centuries ago the life of the generation
was but twenty years. In France IN
half-century the average has increased
from twenty-eight to forty-tive aud a
half years. 1t is said that in the time
of the CAESARS duration of life in Rome
was but eighteen years, and now is
forty. In speaking Of the figures in this
country, Dr.. TODD, of Georgia, high
authority, says the Oldest life insurance
companies have found the actual death
rate only s. per cent of the computed
expectancy, showing that it had been
placed too high. The improvements in
science and better education will no
doubt still further protract the average
duration of the mundane dweller,
especially in this country, but the NOR
tuary consummation is as inevitable as
in any former period.

JUDICIOUSLY MATERIALlZED.

There was a peculiar case on trial in
the district court of Covington. o., the
other day, and decision rendered by
the judge which is without precedent,
but which may serve as valuable one
in the future. A physician in the town
of good standing, and with good prac-
tice, has wife and grown-up daugh-
ter who are Jealous spirituallsts. They
found so much comfort from their faith
i'll the power Of mediums to bring them
in close personal association with the
beautiful beings in the spirit world. it
became source of great grief to them
that the husband and father would
harden his heart and persistently refuse
to be comfOrted with them. He loved
his wife and daughter, but did not love
the mediums. He said they were hum
bugs, and absolutely refused to encour-
age them by his presence at the frequent
seances that were held in his house. A
few weeks ago a medium of eXtraor-
binary power visited the locality, and
his performances soon became the talk
of the town. He inaugurated regular
spiritualistic craze in the community,
and the doctor was carried along with
the sweeping tide far enough to consent
to attend one of the seances- 1t took
place in his own house, and there was
the usual turning down of the lights
and all the ghostly conditions that pre-
vail at such performances. When at
length spirit was materialiZed, and its
Shadowy form was distinctly observable
in the dim light of the room, the doc
tors skepticism again got the upper
hand of him. Just as the heavenly WIS.,
it0r was in the act of delivering mes
sage from long dead friend, the doc
tor made spring at the ghost, caught
its right arm. and. despite its vigorous
resistance, succeeded in getting it to

WASHINGTON, May 11.-Twenty let
tiers went out from the navy department
this afternoon calling on as many MEM
bers of the last fourth class of the naval
academy for their resignation. These
cadets, after serving at Annapolis for
four years, failed to pass at the semi
annual examination held last February.
On March they were granted leave of
absence until May. with the privilege
of rejoining the fourth class
and continuing their studies. The
attorney general, to whom the matter
was referred. decided that this was con-
trary to the statutes and recommended
that the names of the cadets found
deficient be dropped. Following his
advice this action was taken. The
names OF the cadets who are requested
to resign are: L. C. Baird, r. S. Doug
lass, j. J. Saith, W. j. Manion, W. L.

A Big Scheme.

CHICAGO, May ia special from
from Milwaukee says: Very quietly
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
company is attempting to carry out
plan for refunding its entire indebted
ness, which, if completed, will not
only save the company over million
year in interest, but will be the
most important financial operation
ever performed by the company. The
plan is nothing less than to retire all its
bonds bearing five, six and seven per
cent interest, giving in exchange long
term per cent consolidated mortgage
bond. This new bond was executed
May 5, and will be registered i'm Wis
consin this month. An element in this
deal is the fact that many of the st.
Paul bonds mature in 1890 and 1891.

leading Conservatives that the post of
viceroy of Ireland. which is now going
begging, be elevated to the dignity
BETTING its occupation by prince of
the blood royal. and that henceforth
only such personageS be appointed to
the place, the Times and Standard have
taken to advising Lord Salisbury to
name Prince Albert Victor. the eldest
son of the Prince of Wales, for the
place. The articles conveying this adj
vice were undoubtedly inspired by per-
sons in the highest circle in order to
test public opinion in Ireland on the
subject. and the verdict need not be
waited for long. The Dublin Freeman,
referring to the suggestion to appoint
Prince Albert Victor, says: 1.-THE Irish
people care very little whether the Office
of viceroy be abolished or not. nor does
it matter to them who comes to the cas-
tie to assume the duties given up in
disgust by Lord Londonderry; but a
shadow prince in Dublin castle would
be the worst of all appointments. If
the Prince of Wales himself should
undertake to perform in Ireland the so

Barton Hill has generously volunteered his
services to a i'd Miss Sally Williams in her
benefit on Thursday evening, the 10th inst.
This time he will appear in comedy. The
art of Ruy Gomez in "Faint Heart Never

continued around South America. With
brief stops, it is calculated that the

test thoroughly the seaworthiness OF
