twill perceived at glance that, since
Van Buron, Tyler and Fillmore are tho
only two presidents who have outlived
their expectation of life, and that out of tho
line of 81 only had thus happily disap-
pointed tho expectancy of statistics.
But a closer scrutiny of the table need
not deter any ambitious native American
from making the race for president. BY
eliminating Harrison, Taylor Lincoln and
Garfield from the list the average of years
lived will be ovoned up close to that of ex-
pectation. Tho two former presidents
were scarcely in Office long enough to bu
included in tie category, while we can
scarcely reconcile the fate of Lincoln and
Garfield as legitimate factor in such q
discussion. General Grant died from can
Ger, which could not be charged against

laid its summons upon him before his cleo

LONGEVITY OF PRESIDENTS,
An Insuaance Experts Figuring on Their
Expectation of Life.

The Washington correspondent of Tho
Times-Herald has interviewed life insur-
ance agent on the comparative longevity
of presidents Of the United States. This
expert finds that the average age at
inauguration was So years, the average
expectation of life II years and the ac-
tual after life only IA years. From this
he reasons that the presidential Office
is becoming too heavy a burden for any
man To assume "without almost certain
shortening of his lifo." This expert is
especially wrought up over what he thinks
is the startling contrast between the lon
gevity of the early presidents and the later
ones, and he is led to fear that he will new
er again 'see n president survive the full
period of his natural expectation"
The table which this expert has prepared
is of more interest and value than his
croakings and is well worth studying. 1t

peals yesterday afternoon decided that
the criminal code was wholly imperative.
The court said: 1T was 1 who first sug-
gested to make prize fighting felony. I
wanted the state Of Texas to take an ad-
vanced stand on the matter which I re-
garded as the most brutal of acts. But
my private opinion has nothing to do With
the law. I do not believe that under the
provisions of our statutes or the well set
tied rule of construction this man has
violated law that hae been SO plainly
written that he is responsible for 1t, and
shall discharge him. I will give my rea-
sons hereafter in writing"
At the closing remark some persons APP
plauded. and the court, turning to them,
sternly said II will send you all to JAIL"
The offenders could not, however, be iden-
