For Bachelors.

Some curious figures have lately been
made public by celebrated Berlin pily-
sician, which seem to point TO the fact
that if man wants to live long and
preserve his health and strength he
ought to marry. Among unmarried
men between the ages of 80 and 40 the
death rate is 2I per cent. Among mar
red men between the same ages it is
only Is per cent. For forty-one bach
elors who live to be 40 years of age
seventy-eight married men triumphant
ly arrive at the same period. The Diff
ference gets all the more marked as
time goes on. AT 60 years of age there
are only twenty-five bachelors to forty
eight married men; at 20. there are
eleven bachelors to twenty-seven who
are married; and by the time they reach
80 the married men are three to one,
for there are nine of them to every three
bachelors.

Than at First Supposed.

female shoplifters, Mrs. Massey and
Mrs. Bebiesheimer, who were arrested
last Wednesday. have operated here on
a more extensive scale than was at first
supposed. The value Of the property
recovered will amount to at least 81, 900.

small portion of the goods actually
taken, since large quantities have
doubtless been shipped away.
1t is known that Mrs. Massey has been
operating here for at least three years.
She has been suspected around several
stores for that length Of time. but as
she was never actually caught in the
act Of stealing anything, she escaped
arrest
Little is known of Mrs. Bebiesheimer,
as she only came here last May. Her
husband is proprietor of a brewery at
Bakersfield.
In all five complaints have been
lodged against Mrs. Massey and four
against Mrs. Bebiesheimer. Others will

Take an Active Part in

THE Results of Ten Years of Munich
pal Progress"
The Governor stated that it was the
duty Of every good citizen to take an
active interest in the politics of his
municipality, not only to vote, but to
take Iart in caucuses and primary
elections.
Then, reviewing his connection with
the municipal affairs Of Detroit as
Mayor during the past seven years, he
told how, under his administration, the
city had acquired it's own electric light
ing plant, and was now splendidly IL
Illuminated at less than half the old
rate; how gas had been reduced at
least one-third in price: how the toll
roads lad been made public thorough
fares; how the street pavementS had
been wonderfully improved; how the
public school facilities had been bet
tered; how the street car facilities had
been greatly increased and the cost of
transportation lessened, SO that now
one company sells six tickets for
quarter, with transfers, and another
railroad tickets with transfers; how all
street car companies had been COM
PEELED to sell workingmen's tickets at
3 cents during certain hours, and how,
by the starting of an opposition COM
pany, telephone rates had been reduced
more than 70 per cent.
In conclusion, he said: "How long
can Government last which increases
constantly the burdens of the industrial
classes. and gives to those who prey
upon the bone and sinew of the nation?
1t is the duty of Government to protect
the weak against the strong; the poor
against the selfishness of wealth. 1
say right here, that unless the Republi-
can party comes out as a champion of
the average American and his welfare,
and unless it ceases to cater to syndi-
Gates, trusts and monopolies, it will be
carried to oblivion. We must begin by
advocating a municipal ownership of
natural monopolies, and take away
from them the item of profit and re-
lieve the wage-earner to that extent
