An Incendiary Marrangue.
PnrLADELPHIA, September 23.-
The State League Of Republican
Clubs closed its annual meeting to-
day by holding a mass meeting, at
which Speaker Reed made the prin-
opal address. He spoke substanti-
ally as follows:
My Friends: I thank you for
your very cordial greeting and it
makes me feel sorry not to be able;
to say something worthy of it. I'm
til very recently 1 feared that l
would not be able to be with you to-
night. The wicked have been very.
rampant for the last few days and /,
did not know but what it would be
necessary to stay with them, or with
out them. Laughter. But all
that is happily over and ! feellmore.
responsive to your greetings tonight
than I would have this morning.
Laughter. But tho Republican
party was born fighting. Its very
best history was made on tho battle
t%ield-oivio as well as military. 1t
is the very essence of its existence
that it should do battle, for the Re-
publican party means the forward
movement of the people Of tho
United States. iCApplause.] 1t has
never been necessary for the Demo-
Gratis to do anything. daughter
We have just come from a scene
which reminded men who we're in
Washington in ire early dayys Of the
Republican party of scenes which
took place there at the beginning Of
the war. On the Democratic side of
the House during the past week VIC
hhavo been treated TO empty benches.
The Democrats have not been visi-
BILE. daughter
want you to understand the oc-
oasion which they thought demanded
this magnificent uprising. Tho Re.
publican party, so far as tho House
of Representatives is concerned,
has done what we regard as great
deeds. The Democrats have pro-
claimed them very wicked deeds.
We have passed a tariff bill which
secures the American market to the
American people. C.Applause.] That
bill has been the subject of denuncia-
ton OH the part Of the Democrats
almost too bitter to be put on record.
According to them, the bill and the
principle it represents has carried
desolation into every farmhouse in
the country. 1t has covered farms
in the West three deep with mort
Cages, and yet Democratic members,
while that bill was being passed, sat
at their seats and were counted.
We passed another bill. This was
q bill which they said was TO ruin
the principles of liberty. They said
it meant ruin to the peaceable and
to the lovely South. Laughter. 1t
meant ruin to their homes. It meant
dcspotism, and yet they sat there as
sweet as summer. No hegira, no de-
parture, or to use a word more ia
milliar to them, nc secession. CGreat

The police adopted the theory that the

One afternoon, two weeks after the

labors and enjoying the extensive view
spread out before him.
In fact, he was reviewing that strange
interview with Flora Ashgrove the day
after the murder.
Her manner, her emotion, her eager
ness, her anger, all dwelt vividly in his
mind. but his perplexity was as great as
on the day he left her presence
What connection, if any, had she with
the murder? What did she know, if
anything? What relation had existed
between herself and the dead man? Why
did she want to know so particularly the
appearance of the murderer? What was at
the bottom of the intense anxiety she dis
played? And for whom was this anxiety
displayed? She was tall and slim, or
would be if dressed in mems clothes
could it possibly have been herself? Was
she the kind of woman whom jealousy

THE WORLDS POPULATION.

There are about 1,5O0, OOO, 600 in
habitants on the globe. Of these
33,O33, O33 die every year. There are
1904 languages and over 1000 reli-
gions professed by the people. The
number of males and females is
about equal and their average life is
about thirty-three years; one-fourth
of the inhabitants die before they
reach their fifteenth year. To 1000
persons only one reaches the age of
100 years; to every 100 only six
reach the age of IS, and not more
than one in 500 lives to see their
eightieth year; 33,033, 033 dying
every year, makes grand total of
91,S23 per day, $3.50 per hour, 60 a
minute, or one every time the clock
ticks!
Married persons live longer than
single ones, and the tall have q better
chance for long life than those of
short stature. Women have more
chances of life in their favor previous
to fifty years of age than men have,
but fewer afterward.
The number of marriages is in
proportion of seventy-five to every
1000 individuals born; the time
when the greatest number of mar
riages takes place is in June and
December about the time of the
summer and winter soIstices. Dark
haired persons have better chance
in the greater struggle for existence
than those of the opposite complexion,
except in contagious diseases, where
blondes are comparatively exempt.
A person born in hot weather stands
the heat a great deal better than one
born in the cold months of winter !;
of course the rule works vice versa.
Those born in the spring are usually
of more robust constitution than If
born at any other time of the year.
Births are more frequent by night
than by day; also deaths.
