ono OF the Most Interesting Problems of
Vital Statistics.
This subject has OF late years evoked
but little attention, though 1t Is one OF
the most interesting problems of vital
statistics. Tho effect OF wldowhood
on the rate of female mortality Is pc
cuhar. Between the ages OF twenty
five and thirty the death-rate among
widows Is something like seventeen
per thousand, as against nine deaths
per thousand among spinsters and
wives of these ages.
But in France, and more particularly
in Paris, this high mortality soon di-
minishes, and after forty-five 1t Is not
greater than In maids of the same age.
At and after this age 1t is the mothers
who have the lowest death-rate. The
calculation of probabilities" says M.
Bertillon, Shows us that the man who
marries between twenty and twenty
five years, has yet mean OF forty
years to live in place OF thirty -tiyo
years; and that the girl who marrles al
the same age has forty years to hope
for In place of thirty-six, which sho
would have lived unmarried-the one
adding five years to his existence, anc
the other fopr years to hers"
The influence that marriage exerts in
relation to crime must not be lost sight
Of. The criminality OF widowers, and
especially of widows, has been found
to be largely in excess of that OF the
married, and for every one hundred
unmarried criminals, there are only
forty-nine married as regards crimes
committed against the person, and
about forty-fivefor crimes against prop
erty. Besides this, while crime has d.
minished greatly during the last forty
years, 1t Is In the class of married GRIM
lnals that the largest dimdpution is
discovered.
Whatever marriage may be for the
Individual. 1t Is clearly not failure so
far as the State Is concerned. The
number OF suicides among celibates
and widowed is more than double that
which takes place among the married.
Insanity and nervous diseases gener-
ally appear to affect the married in
still less proportion. There are a great
many moro widows than widowers in
Great Britain and the difference in
Numbers between the two classes Is
greatest in the large seaport towns
and mining districts. Among the rea-
sons to which this Is ascribed are the
greater hardships and increased risks
to which the men are exposed and theiI
greater intemperance.
Mr. Milne also thinks that widowers
possess better chance than widows ol
again, and this is perhaps
due to the breadwinning power of the
former, and the distrust which the
English often have Of the latter's ca.
pacity for "honeying and making love"
which distrust Is embodied in the ratih-
er cruel aphorism OF the experienced
Mr.. Weller, Beware OF the widders"

BI.marck's Last WnItz.

In 1867. when the great Chancellor
was on a visit to the Paris Exhibition
with his royal master, the King oi
Prussia, he attended Court ball at the
Tuileries. Madame Carette, the reader
of the Empress Eugenie, as the cotil-
lion was In progress. felt strong in
clination to dance with Count Bis
marck. and offered him a boquat OF
roses as an intimation that nc was se-
lected as partner for a waltz. Bis.
marck accepted the invitation, and
danced in fine style with the beautiful
Madame Carette, to the admiration OF
the Sovereians and the entire Court.
At the conclusion OF the waltz, Count
Bismarck took out OF the button hole
OF his diplomatic dress-coat an artific-
ial rosebud and presented 1t to his fair
partner, saying:
"Please to keep this rosebud in mcm-
ory OF the last waltz shall ever dance
in my life, and which / shall never
forget"

c. P. HUNTINGTON REMARKS
Concerning Harbor and the Place to
Put II
The Southern Pacific VIII Do Business Where
the Business Is and Has All
the Facilities
Associated Press Special Wire

Associated Press Special Wire
NEW YORK, March 3.-Mr. Coils P.
Huntington, president Of the Southern
Pacific Railway company, was inter-
viewed today regarding the report of the
United States harbor commissioners,
designating San Pedro as the place where
there should be constructed a deep sea
harbor in Southern California. AT the
outset Mr.. Huntington observed:
people understanding the report
fully would consider the finding Of the
commissioners as showing that San
Pedro is the better place for the harbor
of commerce and refuge"
II infer from the reports" said the in
terviewer, that the Southern Pacific
company contemplates a road from Riv-
erside to San Pedro, following the Santa
Ana river, as the report seems to be par
TALLY based upon the fact that consider
able distance will thereby be saved in
going around by way of Los Angeles"
"Yes," was the answer. Il think the
distance, making the proper allowance
by equaling the grades, will be some
thing like thirty miles shorter by that
route than via Los Angeles
Then you think of building that
way?'
"Oh, no; we had not thought Of it, for
Los Angeles is too important a city to be
sidetracked, but commerce Is arbitrary
and always gravitates to the cheapest
line, so that some time or other the
chances are that the heavy tonnage will
take the shorter line, although that could
not hurt Los Angeles to any extent, for
1t is the second city in California, and
there is no city in the state 1 think is
more up to date in utilizing it's advan-
tages than that city,
do you think this report will settle
the question as to where the harbor is
to be?"
"Well, 1t would rather seem so, as the
report seems to call for an expenditure
of about six millions before they get a
harbor of commerce and refuge. some
what doubt if the government is willing
to spend such large sums there when in
my opinion, less than half the amount
would give better accommodations for
commerce and safer harbor than could
be gotten at San Pedro by the expendi-
ture of this large amount mentioned by
the commissioners"
"Will the Southern Pacific do its busi-
ness at San Pedro when the harbor is
completed?"
"Why, it almost goes without saying
that we shall go to the best place, as we
are as we'll fixed today to do business
at one place as at the other, with the ex-
ception Of the pier we have at Port Los
Angeles"

MINING CLAIMS

NhoSs N otTtStty " Tue NEW Suootit0to
Rule
WASHINGTON, March "a question
of great Importance throughout the west
involving the publication of notices by
mining claimants, was settled in the
decision Of Secretary Francis, in the
case Of H. w. Gowdy ct al, VS.. the Kis-
met Gold Mining company, coming up
from the Pueblo, Col, land district.
These regulations have been generally
disregarded. TO prevent confusion and
misinterpretation and to enforce the
law the following rule is substituted for
rule 20 of the official regulations: 1.-THE
claimant Is required to post a copy of
the plat of such survey in a conspicu-
Gus place upon the claim together with
a notice Of his intent to apply for patent
thereof, whether or not he will give the
date of posting, name of claimant. name
of claim, mining district and county;
whether or not the location is of record
and If so, whether or not the location is
of record, and If so, whether the record
may be found, giving the book and page
thereof. the number Of feet claimed
along the vein and the presumed direc-
tion thereof, number of feet claimed on
the lode In each direction from the point
of discovery or other we'll defined place
on the plain; names of all adjoining and
conflicting claims or, If none exist, the
notice should so state"
This will take effect June 1st next,
and publications thereafter must con-

DARING BUT FUTILE
An Unsuccessful Attempt to Kidnsp a Little
Girl


SAN FRANCISCO. March "a dar-
ing and ingenious attempt to kidnap a
child today was frustrated through the
vigilance of an officer of the Society for
the Prevention of Vice. The child was
little girl four years of age and known
as Effie Holstrom She is the daughter
of Sallie Mcguire, now Mrs. D'Artney,
who gave the child into the custody of
Mrs. Nancy Holstrom very shortly after
1t was born.
A controversy over the custody of lit
tie Effie has been pending before Judge
it are Mrs. D'Artney and Mrs. Hol-
strom Hearing Of the case was set for
Friday. and in the meantime, Mrs. Hol-
strom retained the custody of the child.
This afternoon Judge Coffey was called
upon for an order commanding that lit
tie Effie be Immediately produced in
Ger attached the child in the possession
of Mrs. Frederika Van valkenberg. The
woman was found with the child on her
way to the ferry preparatory to taking
passage for Fresno Fortunately the
officer knew little Effie or he would
never have recognized her in the child
with Mrs. Van valkenburg. Instead of
finding a girl with long, dark curls. he
found child in poy's clothes, with short
hair and wearing jaunty sailor hat.
AS the child, who had evidently been
tutored, persisted in denying her identi-
ty, the court was compelled to appoint
physician to determine her sex before
making an order, remanding her to the
custody OF the police matron until to-
morrow
