when Bachelors Marry.

We all of us are acquainted with the
bachelor who declares over and over
again that nothing will ever induce him
to marry, and that were an angel TO come
and offer herself he would promptly re-
fuse the proposal Sometimes this celi-
bate believes what he says; at Others he
only ventilates this sentiment, which he
does assiduously, as a kind Of safeguard
from the attacks he breads viii be made
upon him. He thinks that he has never
yet found the right woman for him, and
as he objects to other people selecting
and pushing their choice upon him, that
his announcement that he will never
marry makes him quite safe.
However, in either case he may rest
quite assured that very few people do
believe him, least of all the mammaS
with daughters to dispose of, and the
daughters themselves.
As an elderly or old man it often
amuses him to note how very kindly
those who wish him to marry select ex-
actly the woman he would never dream
of taking for wife. They choose his
contemporaries, or women but few
years younger, whom they put in his
way, and try ard indicate to him what
excellent wives they would make. Now
age is very much relative matter, and
some people retain a green heart" even
TO old age. Others are old in their actual
spring tide. but, take it all round, women
are older for their age than men, though,
as a somewhat contradictory fact, they
live longer. To man his woman con-
temporaries seem much older than he is,
and it will often be noticed that when
this individual takes TO himself wife he
marries some one 20 years, or thereabouta,
his Junior.

Health Board had expected The deaths numbered
LOO during the week. and those which were set down
as having been caused by the grip in complication with
other complaints numbered So. For the previous
week the death record was sos deaths, ten Of which
were due in sonic measure to the grip. The records
In the Bureau OF Vital Statistics do not show that any
death has been caused directly by the prevailing dis
case The number Of deaths reported at the Bureau
Yesterday was 143. and eight Of them were grip
cases. Pneumonia caused 224 deaths last week. whlle

IN A BAD SCRAPE..
THE COUNTY PHYSICIAN OF CUM.
BERLAND WILL HAVE 10
EXPLAIN.

Especial to TnE woRl.D.l

CUMBERLAND, Nd, November H.
DIR. w. ]. Craigen, practicing physi-
clan in this city, has gotten into bad
scrape. He is county physician and
pension examiner, and heretofore has
been pretty well thought Of. On Mon
day morning Frank Latin was walk
ing along the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road tracks, when he fell into a cattle
guard, cutting fearful cash in his
leg, Friends carried him to the Office
of DIR. Craigen The doctor examined
the wound, and, after dressing it, put
several stitches in it, and then asked
for his pay, which was 50 The men
We're surprised, as they thought, lie be-
ing the county physician, there would
be no charges. The doctor said if they
did not pay him he would undo his
work. They insisted they were penni-
less. and the doctor cut the stitches,
thus undoing his work. DIR. Craigen
said that he did not intend to do that
kind Of work for nothing. The facts
in the case leaked out, but, owing to
Craigen's popularity, people were dis
posed to take anotherview of it. Fin
ally the whole town began to talk
about the affair, and Mayor Blackis-
tone determined an investigation. He
had an interview with DR.. Craigen,
and the latter admitted that he had
removed the stitches in the wound Of
the injured man, giving as his reason
that the fee Of 81 had not been paid.
General Raum, the commissionerofpen-
sions, under whom DIR. Craigen holds
Office as pension examiner. heard d
the case, and telegraphed Mayor
Blackstone for confirmation of the re-
port. The mayor telegraphed back
that DIR. Craigen had told him of his
action, and why he did it. 1t is said
the mayor will at once call the atten-
ton of the states attorney to the mat
ter. DIR. Craigen is the physician in
charge Of the jail, almshouse and
insane asylum, and is also member
of the United States pension board Of
examining physicians for this district.
A demand for the removal of DR..
Craigen from the Offices he holds is
likely to be made. DR.. Craigen pub
fishes card this evening, in which he
defends himself. He says he did the
right thing, and defiesan investigation.

ington the following year, and since
then has rested from all bnt self inn
posed employment. MIR. Whitman, it
is understood, is provided with re-
sources ample for his simple needs.
Recently friendly visit from Sir Ed
win Arnold gave him a welcome sur
prise.
Walter Whitman is a native Of Long
Island, n. y. He was born at West
Hills, on March 81, 1919. His business
was that of printer. When his brother
was wounded in the civil war he pro-
cured an appointment as nurse, in
which capacity he served at Washing
ton and in Virginia from 1862 to 1860.
During the ensuing nine years he held
clerkship at the Federal capital.
Whitman's masterpiece, his Leaves
Of Grass was first published in 1855.
It was received with little but adverse
criticism and continued to be subject
of depreciation, much oft Of frivo-
lous sort, until Ralph Waldo Emerson,
followed by other eminent writer's, both
American and foreign, pointed out it,
peculiar excellencies Leaves of Grass
has been republished several times
and commands a steady sale. Whit
man has contributed occasionally to
newspapers and periodicals. His I'M
conventional, picturesque style is the
apt expression Of the strong originality
of the author.
