MARRIED persons, it is declared, live
longer than single ones, and the tall
have better chance for long life than
those of short stature. Women have
more chances of life in their favor
previous to 50 years of age than men
have, but fewer afterward.

COULDN'T STAND POVERTY.

A Minneapolis Woman Leaves Her Hus-
band Because He Became Poor.
After eighteen years of happiness
the marital relations between Giles NJ
Wing and Elizabeth J. Wing were
broken up on account of the husband s
failure in business. Wing was a
wealthy lumberman in Manistique,
Mich, when he married his present
wife. At that time he was a widower
with one child. He lost some of his
property there and then they went to
Minneapolis, where he had a large
mill. A break of bad luck resulted in
the loss of tho mill, and he was left
almost pauper. This was too much
for the high-strung and spirited wife.
She had always lived in luxury and
could not stare poverty in the face. She
has brother living in Manistique
worth $3.50, and with him she pre-
ferred living instead of helping her hus-
band. For several years Wing has been
connected with the State Mutual Insur-
ance Company, and he had written for
his wife to return, butts had declined.
Then he brought suit for divorce.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. CENSUS.

The manner in which the Census Depart
ment at " ashin gton is attempting TO gather
the manufacturing statistics Of Richmond
is unbusincss-hke, TO say the least. The
Chamber Of Commerce and the business
men of the city should take immediate steps
o. have this important matter given proper
attention. Else Richmond will rank very
low as a manufacturing centre In the next
United states OInc;a! census.
MIR. Harrison, the special agent, is doing
all that can be expected Of him, but 1t Is a
physical impossibilty for one man 10 do the
work required in the allotted time.
The department at Washington has given
assistants in other cities and there Is no
good reason why every facility should not
I've afforded here 20 secure correct returns.
The supervisor Of the census should see
that Mr.. Harrison has full instructions and
should not hamper him in his work 5y
unnecessary delay, by neglecting 10 answer
his requests for specific information per
tanning TO the wOr,.
This is "A matter of very grave importance
o. Richmond, and business men should de-
mand at once from the department at

facilities for collecting the manufacturing

PROGRESS OF VIRGINIA.

Those who are disposed TO question the
sOundness Of the present boom IN Virginia.
at the very time that they admit that the
material resources Of the state are mex
haustible, should recollect that this boom is
principally sustained by the investments of
Northern capital. II the boom had beel
compelled TO rely for support upon domestic
capital alone, it would not only have failed
TO reach ITS present proportions, but it is
highly probable that it would have declncd'
at least for time.
1t NAV be laid down as a general truth
that no community is benefited by that eN-
citement which is popularity termed a
boom if it originates entirely in the
community, but if it has its origin, IL
large or principal part, in the IN
PRODUCTION of outside capital, then all
che chances are that it will confer the most
substantial and the most enduring benefit.
This is the position Of the communities OF
. this State which Just now are attracting an
unusual degree Of attention. Northern and
Western capital is flowing in, sustaining
and stimulating the feeling of confidence
that prevails among the native citizens
This capital. a. a rule, is not going 10 be
content with investments that are made for
speculative purposes alone. The first III
yes,ments will he followed by others which
will support, by the creation Of new indus
tries, the investments that preceded them.
In other words the history of our Virginia
iTes s66stanrHa9 ff669ng M tpp8Hu H1lhA
natural resources. will be repetition Of
the history of the centres Of population in
the West. First, there is the speculation
in lots, then the town begins TO rise and
after while makes an advance which
no partial reaction can long obstruct This
was the history Of st. Louis, Chicago
Duluth, and all the great cities beyond the
Ohio. Ii was also the history Of Birmng-
ham and Roanoke and it Will he the history
of many town in Virginia which now
only exists on paper. Many Of these towns
will not make any progress beyond the de-
finement of their streets and avenues but
if they have natural advantages behind
Them their final growth is assured. whether
the present boom ends in partial collapse
or not.
