Married Men Live Longest.

In the FIVE years Of life between the
ages of 20 and 25 the mortality Of un-
married men is ,l74 in 100000, and
Of married men only 597. From %
to 80 the numbers respectively are
1896 and 865. These figures are de-
rived from the death register Of Scot
land, but the proportion Of the bach
elor to the benedict death rate IL be-
lieved to be about the same in this
country. Taking the whole Of the
married men and the whole Of the un-
married men from the age Of 20 to the
close Of life, it is computed that the
lives Of the former average 594 years,
while those Of the latter average only
40 years difference Of l9I years in
favor Of married men; that IL, mar
riage increases the average duration
Of a mans life by on. half, lacking SIX
months

His Death Warrant.

a prominent New Jersey lawyer
tells the Cincinnati Inquirer story
that possesses more than local inter
est. 1t is a true narrative Of how one
man constituted himself Lexow COM
mittee of one, and in simple but
nevertheless ingenious manner pract'
cally eradicated an evil in one New
York court which had grown to pro-
portions that seemed alarming. 1t
was the court of Judge J. T. Irving
It was the rule that every time the
Judges signed a paper they should re-
ceive fee of one dollar. 1t meant
that it cost one dollar to have the Judge
write his autograph.
One day two prominent New York
lawyers were in Judge Irvings court
when h. was busily engaged in sign
ing papers. There was long line OF
lawyers filing slowly in front Of his
desk, and as each passed up his papers

EARL LOVED SADIE.
shaftssbury said 20 Have Been captivatod
by the soubrette's Charms.


CHICAGO, Dec. la sensation that
would have shocked and scandalized the
English nobility and penetrated oven tc
the circle of royalty was averted by the
sudden death in Australia on Sunday
last of Sadie Macdonald
On Friday of last week advices were re-
ceived in Chicago from Melbourne to the
effect that no less a parsonage than the
Earl of Shatesbury had become enamored
of the frolicsome soubrette who for several
months had been starring the colonies in
Hoyt's "a Trip to Chinatown. An
nouncemonts Of their engagement had been
made at the clubs and in theatrical circles,
it was said, and color had been given to
the story, according to rumor, by the fact
that the earl had presented her with dia-
mond ornaments aggregating in value
about S5O,000
While the advices came from an author
itative source the possibility of a scion OF
the house of Shaftesbury indulging In
even Irritation with a soubrette appeared
so remote that a cablegram was sent to the
family mansion in London sessing infor.
nation concerning his whereabouts, and
it was learned that the Earl of Shaftesbury
was actually in Melbourne, serving tenn
the eminent naval authority.
The London cable stating this fact
which lent partial confederation to the
story that the earl had found an affinity II
the American soubrette, reached Chicago
almost simultaneously with the brief mes
sage from the other end of the world tha
Sadie Macdonald had passed away.
Stranger things have happened among
the English nobility than that the grand
son Of him whom the lcte archbishop o
Canterbury once allude 20 from the plat
form of Exeter hall as that earF'the mos
godly and devout Of mon, should hav
been willing to perpetuate the great anS
noble house of Shaftesbury by ar allianc
with a favorite of the farce comedy foot
lights. But it is nevertheless certain that
had Sadie Macdonald been spared Ions
enough to plight her troth to the nobl,
earl, London society would have received
a shock from which it would have been
long time in recovering.
