MARRIED A CENTURY.
O1s Hundred Years Of Connubizl Bliss En- .
jovsd by q Hungarian Couple.

O1s Hundred Years OF Connubixl Bliss In.
jovsd by Hungarian Couple.
We have all heard of tin weddings,
celebrated after ten years of marriage,
OF crystal weddings. after fifteen years:
of china weddings, after twenty. OF
silver, after twenty-five; of gold, after
fifty, and of diamond. after seventy
tive-or. as Europeans celebrate it,after
sixtv-two and half years. But the
scale of celebrations does not seem to
extend any farther: and one wonders
what precious thing would be selected
to give its name to a wedding anniver-
sary recently celebrated in Hungary
the one hundredth anniversary of the
marriage of Jean Szathmary and his
wife
This appears to be circumstance
which is entirely impossible. But the
marriage Of this aged pair is duly and
officially recorded as having taken
place in May. 1898. at which time, ac
cording to the record, they were of
marriageablea age. AS in Hungary at
that time bridegroom must have
reached the age Of twenty and bride
that of fifteen. tn. pair must now be at
least one hundred and twenty and one
hundred and fifteen years old.
The one hundredth anniversary was
celebrated at the town of Zsom bolyi. in
the Banat. which has for long time
allowed the venera BILE couple a pension
in recognition of their great age and
fidelity to each other.
Even to the oldest residents of Zsom-
bolyi have no other recollection of Jeau
Szathmary and his wife than as old
people. Not one relative of either sur
wives Their century of welded life is
so well and officially attested that
many notables and Hungarian officials
attended the anniversary celebra ton,
and gave them many presents.-Youth's

VITALITY OF INSECTS.
EgKs Often Uninjured Even After Sui
iected to Intense Cold.

Eggs Often Uninjured Even After Sub
jected to Intense Cold.
The eggs of insects have greater
powers of vitality than any others. A
case was published of an egg producing
an insect eighty years after it must
have been laid, and the scientist re-
sponsible for this statement thinks
the power of vivification may endure
in these eggs for an indefinite period.
Many eggs of insects are exposed to
the air without any covering. and
many are sheltered too slightly to be
secure from the frost. This however,
they are able to resist. remaining I'M
frozen, though exposed to the severest
cold, or, still more surprising, are I'M
injured by its intensest action, recov-
ering their vitality even after having
been frozen into Jumps of ice.
On exposing several silk-worm eggs
for five hours to a freezing mixture
which made Fahrenheit's thermometer
fall to 50 deg. below zero Spollanzi
found that they were not frozen nor
their fertility in the slightest degree
impaired. Others were exposed to a
degree of so deg. below zero without
being injured. The quality of the
eggs of snails is, perhaps, even more
marvellous. These eggs. if desiccated
in furnace until they are scarcely
visible, will always regain their orig
inal bulk when damped. and the young
will be brought forth as though the
eggs had never been in any way inter
fered with. Neither heat nor cold
seems to have any injurious effect
upon their vitality, for they have been
frozen into ice for any length of time
and when the ice is melted will be
found to be wholly uninjursd -BaIti-

VIVA. promises TO be the greatest at
tempt in the era of realism will be seen
nj the Crawford Grand next Monday
evening in the melodrama of Lincoln j.
Carter's Fast Mail" The play is famous
throughout the country for the complete
ness ana magnitude OF OF its mechanical
effects. The production is under the per-
soual supervision of its author-Llncoin
J. Carter Special scenery is carried for
the ten complete sets used in the play. In
the second act "A steamboat is shown with
the boiler rooms and their intricate ma
chinery and the glowing furnaces. The
boat is blown up by a tremendous eX-
plosion, and the wreck is seen going down
in mid river. The great railway Is an
other of the unprecedented achievements
Of their performance in the direction of
realism. A freight train Of fourteen cars
is run across the stage with an illuminated
caboose and practical locomotive. The
fireman and engineer are seen at their re-
spective stations, looks like reality itself.
\ mail train comes speeding by and
catches the mail pouch just as every one
has seen it DO many times.
In the last act Niagara Falls are shown
in all their natural beauty. 4 cataract of
real water is put on the stage, and it boils
and foams in the most natural way. The
soft moonlight adds to the effect, and the
scene needs only the addition of the sus-
pension bridge to complete the effect Of
reality.

DISPUTES THE THEORY.

The well nigh universal belief in the
danger and destructive tendencies of
the average disease germ, as applied
to the human system, receives Il decid-
ed check from high medical author
ity Of this country, who declares,
through the medium of the pubic
press, that the widespread fear Of di-
sease germs is largely groundless.
"Everything," he says, "is full of germs
or crusted with them, but every germ
is not harmful Every disease germ
on the body does not produce a di-
sease. If it did there would not be q
person on the face Of the earth tomor-
row. People lived before disease
germs were known and we're rs heal
thy as they are today. They lived as
carefully as we do--perhaps more so.
We cannot avoid contact with disease
germs, but we can do what is better:
strengthen the body so that 1t can re-
sist them as easily as lion can flea.
Some scientists pretend to deplore a
lack of precation people take against
germs. 1t is simply because the peo-
pie see, despite theories, that every
germ doesn't produce sickness any

FEDERAL ELECTION LAWS.
Arkansas Veteran Statesman,
Senator James II. Berry, on Their
Repeal

One of the ablest arguments yet
made, in either branch of the Federal
Congress, advocating the proposed
measure repeating the inquitous Fed
eral Election laws, was that of Sena-
tor James II. Berry, in the United
States Senate. =,
After citing the history of the pres
sent law and the circumstances sur
rounding its enactment, the Senator
explained the effect of the laws as en-
forced in the South. lie said that
fair, honest elections would be better
secured when they were controlled by
State authority.
whenever the republican party
desires to perpetrate fraud IN elections
under the pretense Of protecting the
ballot box, whenever they desire to
rob the people by pretending to pro-
tect labor or desire to take possession
of small kingdom under the pre-
tense of improval, they met all objec-
tions to such attempt by charging the
South with having engaged in rebel
lion"
lie repudiated the idea advanced
by the Illinois Senator.
"That the present distress through
out the country was due to threat
ened tariff legislation, but on the con-
trary the depression was due entirely
to Republican legislation"
He hoped no Democrat would bolt
now that the Democratic party was
now in power. lie hoped no Demo-
crat would be 20 timid as to be fright
ened by this cry of distress raised by
the beneliciaries of the Mckinley bill,
but would hereafter march in the line
with the Democratic party. Senator
Berry declared that the people of the
South had never complained Of the
result of the war, but had justly COM
planned of the laws passed by recon-
structionists after the war; that South
ern people had entered the contest
boldly and fearlessly, and had surren-
dered to superior foe, but they had
shown a courage in battle and endur-
ance under great priyation ana pa
tience in defeat that challenged the
admiration of the world. They were
now as anxious for the honor OF 'he
country as the men who gathered
around Gen. Grant at Appomattox.

ARKANSAS LABOR.

Austin Corbett & Co, of New York
City, are now daily in expectation of
an answer from the State penitentiarv
commission of Arkansas in regard TO
a proposition they have submitted
concerning the employment of the con
yict labor of this state, subject that
has caused the authorities great deal
of trouble Corbin g. Co. believe
their proposition will not ouly solve
the problem of convict labor, but VIII
also result in substantial income to
the state treasury Corbin's represen-
tatiyos explained that they had 1900
acres of land under cultivation on an
island in Chicot lake, which cOmpris-
ed altogether about 10000 acres Of
splendid woodland, aud soil suflcicnt-
ly fertile for cotton raising purposes,
The fact that this firm was on an island
was pointed to as spot where con-
yict labor could be utilized with
minimum of guards and with the
least possible interference with any
where free labor was en-
pIoyed.

One Great Long Laugh.

Saturday, Dec. % will be laughing
day at Ghio's opera house. On this
date that clever comedy organization
which presented the uproariously fun
ny play "Dr. Bill" here last ear, will
be seen here again, appearing in the
Same merry comedy
For pare solid luu; sweet selections
of song, dainty bits of dance and le-
gitimate comedy, "Dr. Bill' is au ideal
farcial concert. 1t is too good and too
comical play to be dlssected in these
columns fol the benefit Of those who
neglected to see it last season, while
for those who did, such an analysis
would be utterly superhuous. The
point now is that it presents clean,
bright, polished two-and-a-half hours
invitation to genuine forgetfulness of
care and makes everyone who sees it
lose sight Of the fact that they ever
had the blues. "Dr, Bill" is one great
long laugh. 1t is modern comedy
of errors and appeals especially to la
dies and married folks. 1t also con-
tains a good moral and a wholesome
lesson for those who are contemplate
ing marriage. While funny as funny
can be, the comedy, "Dr. BilP is at all
times Legitimate and refined. No horse
play methods are introduced for the
purpose of raising laugh, norris there
anything therein that is coarse or sug-
gestive. No better bill could have
been zelected for holiday attraction.

MILLS RESUME WORK.

Recent dispatches from New York
City give details Of transaction
which will afford employment to fully
$4,000 hands, most Of whom are now
idle, at Fall River, Mass. The news
of the deal has just been made public
at New York and Fall River, and has
already had the effect Of putting re-
newed life into the manufacturing in
dustry.
BY the recent purchase Of about 80,-
900 pieces of print cloths, at cost of
more than $l,70O,0OO, the oyerstocked
market for print cloths has been re-
lieved. The trade has given new
lease of life, and the demand for goods
has increased to such an extent that
Fall River mills have received orders
which will keep them running through
the winter, thus providing for $4,000
mill hands and in all about 10000 per-
sons dependent upon the mills for
their support.
This big deal, made right in the face
of certain reformation Of the tariff,
proves conclusively that the manufac-
turing industry has, like all others,
suffered from financial depression and
general business stagnation, instead of
FROM fear Of legislative action, in u
reformation of existing tariff laws, as
has been SO often and persstently
claimed by the republican newspapers
