Hale and hearty at 80 and re-
markable example of longevity and
perfect health is an interesting and
still active old gentleman in Maine,
who was recently interviewed by the
Boston "Globe," and who is said to
be the oldest physician in point of
active practice in the Pine Tree
State. He never lost tooth, never
used glasses or a cane, never owned
a pipe, rum jug or dog, and never
saw human being die.
For many years he was the only
doctor within a circle of 90 miles,
within which IL doctors are now re-
quired to cover the same territory.
His old horse knew his rounds as
well as he did, and during one nota-
BILE period of diphtheria epidemic,
when the good doctor rode day and
night for several weeks, the horse
logged around. from place to place,
going in wherever there was sick
ness, while his master slept between
calls and frequently had to be awak-
ened by the family where the horse
stopped
His neighbors say he still carries
his medicines in the saddle bags
with which he began business 81
years ago. Perhaps the chief reason
why in all his practice he never saw
a person die was that he always
made a point of leaving the room
when he could no longer be of fur
ther service to his patient. Within
a year he has ridden AZ miles to see
a patient on a day when the Their
mometer was about zero, and within
a month he harnessed up and drove
30 miles on similar GRAND, unhar-
Messing when he returned, and after
a drink of warm milk resuming his
work in his garden as if the day had
just begun.
Upon the subject of longevity he
is of the opinion that more than half
OF the sickness that afflicts people is
caused by their eating too often and
too much, too rich and too highly
seasoned food. In the winter it has
been his practice to eat meat once a
day, but seldom to eat meat in sum-
mer, taking coffee at his breakfast
and milk OF water at his other meals,
but when away from home eating
temporarily of what was set before
him. He is strong believer in the
value of milk as food, drinking it
with his meals and pint of warm
milk just before going to bed. In
appearance he is to-day as straight
as when so years of age, and his
average weight is $50 pounds. The
subject of what conduces to health
and longevity is always interesting,
but the above is given more as an il
lustration than as model, for it is
patent that what agrees with enc
constitution may disagree with an
other.

SPENCER WIPED OUT.
Entire Town Destroyed by Fire -Thir-
ty-nine Honses Burned With A
Loss of $500 900,

The town of Spencer, Roane coun-
ty, on the r., S. s. G. railroad, was
almost entirely destroyed by fire last
night.
Thirty-nine stores and dwelling
houses were destroyed, many of them
with their entire contents.
The fire had its origin in room
over Simmons & Coz general store,
which room, it is said, was used as
gambling resort.
This building stood on the main
business street and when the fire was
once started it swept along with
vengeance, leaving destruction in its
path. There was no effective way to
combat it. Men, women, and chill
dren, carried buckets of water, which
were thrown on the blazing buildings,
but the angry flames licked it up like
huge thirsty animal and gathering
renewed strength and fury from stiff
breeze that was blowing, swept up
along the street and over across the
street, demolishing and destroying,
and throwing the people of the town
into terror and panic. After leveling
one square, it darted into a side street,
sweeping along both sides.
Among the buildings burned were
Simmons general store, Mcintosh,
Hardman & Co. IS big hardware store,
Chapman House, Chambers Hotel,
Chapman's drug store, Parsons drug
store, Lewellyn's grocery store, Hoyt
Benefits cigar store and photograph
gallery, two restaurants, owned by r.
A. Casio and Casio, COTS store,
Smiths clothing store and many 9TH
er houses and stores.
The entire business portion of the
town was Quilted.
The Masonic Temple was destroyed
The bank was located in this build
| ing
Many of the buildings, which were
destroyed, were brick buildings.
The fire burned down to the depot,
but did not get start on that build
ing. A lot oftars standing on some
sidings had to be moved to escape de-
struction.
This is the second time Spencer has
suffered from a confiagration. About
seven years ago, practically the same
portion of the town which went last
night, was destroyed.
The total loss is estimated at $780,
| 600.
The Asylum buildings being across
the creek from Spencer, were out OF
danger, but the burning district could
be seen by the inmates, and the at.
tendants had their hands full in hand
ling the patients, who were frighten-
ed and terror-s stricken.

wEYLER TAKES THE FIELD,
But Will Shortly take to a Tree.

HAVANA, Nov. Captain Gener-
al Weyler has taken the field in per-
son against the insurgents under An
tonic Maceo, in the Province of Pi-
mar del Rio, and reliable news re
ceived from the front indicates that
the Spanish column is approaching
close to the enems.
General Weyler left Havana on
the cruiser Legaspy half an hour af-
ter midnight, his destination being
the port of Mariel, Province of Pinar
del Rio. From Mariel, it is under
stood, the Captain General will 90
southwark on the highway to the
town of Artemisa, and along the line
of the trocha. Strong reinforcements
are being embarked to support the
Captain General in the operations
now in progress against the insur-
gents.
General Weyler was accompanied
by all the members of his staff, con-
sisting of General Aguilar, two colo
nels, two lieutenant colonies, two
majors, four captains and the chief
of the Havana police.
The Marquis de Asumada remains
in charge of the Captain Generals
office here, with Col. Ramon Dom
inguez as his chief of staff.
General Weyler arrived at Mariel
at 6 o'clock this morning and left
shortly afterward, going in the di
rection of Guanajay, on the military
line and about half way to Artemisa.

THE NEXT LEGISLATURE.
1t will Be Largely Republican, but as
yet the Exact Standing Of the Parties
Cannot be Determined,

CHARLESTON, W. VA, Nov. o.
As the State on candidates for the
Legislature in several counties is
very close and will require the Off
cial count to determine who is elect
ed in these counties, it is impossible
to state exactly how the next Legis-
lature will stand politically
From the best information obtain
able at present, it appeass that the
democrats have elected 32 and the
republicans 80 members in the lower
house.
1t appears that the Democrats
have elected member of the Senate
from the Sixth, Eighth, Twelfth and
Thirteenth districts, the Republican
candidates in the other nine districts
being successful.
OF the thirteen hold overs the
Democrats have three and the Re-
publicans ten. This would make the
Senate stand seven Democrats and
nineteen Republicans.
1t was first reported that the Re-
publicans had elected two members
of the lower house from Fayette, but
later reports from Fayette say that
cne of the Republican candidates for
the Legislature, G. II. Payne, color
ed, has been defeated.

Drmocracy's Leader Tells Of Frauds
Against the PeODIe.

CHICAGO, Nov. s. Chairman Jones
issued the following statement to-
night:
THE result of the presidential
election is apparently no longer in
doubt. 1t has been one of the closest
contests the people have been called
on to determine in recent years. We
have claimed the election on our adj
vices from states that were admit
tedly in doubt, in which we knew
there had been many frauds, and
from which there were evidence of
tampering with the returns. 1t seems
now to be apparent that while Mr..
Bryan, after making the most bril-
liant campaign in the history of our
country and having carried most of
the states claimed to be doubtful,
has not carried enough to assure his
success in the electoral college.
Bryan electors have been chosen
from all of the states south of the
Potomac and Ohio except West Vir-
ginia and all those west of the Mis-
souri, except California and Oregon.
He has 100 electoral votes and this
number may be increased by final
returns from states yet in question.
He has not obtained enough votes to
carry the electoral college.
"Thus this remarkable campaign
closes with the election of William
Mckinley. The result was brought
about by every kind of coercion and
intimidation on the part of the mon
ey power, including threats of lock-
outs and dismissals and impending
starvation, by the employment of by
far the largest campaign fund ever
used in this country, and by the
subordination of large portion of
the American press.
''The president-elect and his party
are under the pledge to the Ameri-
can people to continue the gold
standard, and by its operation to re-
store prosperity to the country. As
chief executive, Mr.. McKinly will
have the cordial support of the mil
lions of patriotic Americans who have
cast their votes for William Jennings
Bryan. They bow to the majesty of
the office and abide by the result
with none of the mutterings that
would have come from the moneyed
powers had it been unsuccessful.
"They are confident the gold
standard cannot give the promised
prosperity, but will gladly welcome
it if it comes. They will continue
the great struggle for the uplifting
of humanity and the maintenance of
the dignity of our country in the es-
tablishment of the American none
tary system. And the Democratic
party, aided by its present allies,
will still uplift the bimetallic stand
ard and bear it on to victory.

cratic Committee

Fabulous Gold suppry.

The information brought from
South Africa by DR. George F. Beck
er, of the United States geological
survey, is so startling that it is diff
cult to conceive of its truth; yet tn is
is a day Of strange and startling
things.
DR.. Becker says that within fifteen
miles of johannesburg there is an
amount of gold practically in sight
in a range running not over thirty
miles, equal to something like 49,
500, 900, 900 or nearly as much as the
entire volume Of gold coin existing
in the world to-day But this is
hardly beginning of the story to
be told. He brings back the testi-
mony of reliable American mining
engineer in the Transyaal that the
gold deposits, instead of extending
over only thirty miles, really run
over 1,200 miles. And the question
arises. if thirty miles of deposits
will yield $780, 100000, what will
| 200 miles of deposits yield? Or.
Becker estimates that the 81, 500, 900
600 will be thrown upon the world s
gold market within the next twenty
five years to say nothing of what
may. come from the 100 more miles
of deposits. Commenting upon this
announcement, the Springfield, Mass,
Republican, a Democratic Sound
money paper, says that 'If the fl
nancial world could be persuaded to
believe all this, if such gold supplies
actually did overhang the market,
the vested interests of the earth
would be in panic and clamoring
for the decentralization of gold, for
such depreciation of the monetary
standard of the commercial world
would be threatened as to make the
free-silver proposition to appear mild
| indeed.
