What Becomes of a Generation?

In answer to the above question
one of the leading statisticfans of
England has recently compiled
number of Interesting figures show
ing that out of every 100000
children born yearly in Great
Britain only small percentage
reach middle life.
Several thousand como into the
world with such feeble constitu-
tons that they do not survive
more than few hours. During
the first five years of life scarlet
fever carries off 1900, whooping
cough $4,000 and infantile cholera
10000. Before the sixth year Is
reached death has claimed at least
$50, 900. From this time on. how
ever. the generation makes Steady
progress, and during the next five
years only $4,000 fall by the way.
Between the ages OF ten and fifteen
only q few deaths occur among
children, but from fifteen on con-
sumption and other inherited mala-
dies become active. Out of $4,000
deaths occurring between the ages
of twenty end twenty-five more
than one-half are due to consump-
ton. Typhoid fever gets in it's
deadliest work when its victims
are between twenty-five and thirty.
Between these ages overwork car
ries off several hundred, and vio-
lent deaths, including suicide, acct
dent and murder, not less than
100.
By this time barely more than
one-half of the generation is left,
and between the ages Of thirty-five
and forty $4,000 fall prey to con-
sumption. During this period dis
eases of the heart, kidneys, stom-
ach and other internal organs of
the body mako their appearance
with great fatality. Between the
ages of forty-fve and fifty-fve over
$1,000 deaths occur, most of them
due to consumption. Cancer usu-
ally asserts itself during this
period with fatal and steadily null
tiplying results. Only 100000 of
the generation enter their sixty
fifth year, which number, during
the next decade is cut down to
$50, 900. At ninety-fivc only 1000
are left, and when the century
mark is reached only 223 are llv-
ing. Within the next ten years
the last remnant of the generation
is eXtinguished.-Atlanta Constitu-
ton.

This is the way they run things
in Texas, says the Texas Farm
and Ranch "rhe Legislature adj
iourned last week, after spending
several months doing nothing at
two dollars a day. Not having
made provision for carrying on the
state government for the next two
years, the Governor Immediately
issued his proclamation converting
special session. The members
will now receive five dollars a
day, instead of two, for thirty days.
And now they are denounelng the
Governor because he did not wait
until they all reached their homes,
so they could draw mileage both
ways while riding on free passes.
God promised TO spare Sodom il
ten good men could be found in il,
but the Dead Sea covers the place
where il was. There are some
good men in the Legislature-how
many we cannot say-but not
enough to save it from public con-

THE LEONIS TANGLE
A Special Administrator Now Being
Asked for

There was another little scrap over
the Leonis estate in department two
yesterday The disputes of that estate
are of such a diversified and multifari-
Gus nature that somthing is popping up
with great regularity almost every week.
A party of the heirs represented by
Major Bell wanteo a special admins
traitor appointed. and another party rep
resented by Judge Brousseau and At
torney Dunnigan didn't want anything
of the kind. The former contende0 that
there was a quantity of grain on the
Elizabeth Lake property that would be
lost if an administrator was not ap-
pointed, ard the latter with equal We
hemence urged that Judge Clark had
made an order for the distribution of
the estate. If the estate was ready for
distribution it couldn't be in need of a
special administrator AS a fact, the
minute order on the record did show that
Judge Clark had made ouch an order,
but Judge Allen felt delicacy in taking
any action II a case of which he knew
nothing and Judge Clark everything.
After some spatting between counsel,
the court appointed Judge Brosseau to
see that the grain was gathered in, and
then continued the hearing until Judge
Clark's return.

BADLY MIXED
Three Long Names on One Short
Street

The nomenclature of the streets of Los
Angeles city is a peculiar combination
of inconsistencies, but much good work
has been done toward Strengthening out
the irregularities of the system.
While this is true there is more work
that needs attention. For instance, in
the southwest portion of the city there is
a street only four blocks long. At one
end of the street is sign stating that
the street is named Athena. AT the other
end of the street is sign giving the name
Of Hellman, and about midway is an
other sign giving the name of Thirty
sixth street. This street extends from
Wesley avenue to McClintock. Now the
facts of the case appear to be, as The
Herald is reliably informed, that the rea
name of the street is Thirty-seventh.
If a resident on that street should re-
turn from the city late at night little
tired, could he find his way home? AnC
if not, where would he go? When a res
ident of that street subscribes for the
Daily Herald, as many of them do, anG
should give his name and number of the
street and one of the names, what is the
poor carrier going to do when he gets
down in that section Of the city and finds
street with so many aliases?
Could not the city superintendent o
streets order all of these signs taker
down and substitute therefor the cor.
rect name, or call it No Mans street
and thus give the residents of that sec,
ton and the paper carriers a chance t.
find themselves?

In the Marriage Case of
Janet Thompson
THE REPORT OF HER INSANITY
THE UNEXPECTED DISCOVERY
OF THE DRAKE WILL
Little Martin POGO Given Over to q
Guardian-Another Little Scrap
in the Leonis Matter

There have not been lacking In al
ages Of the world men of light and lead
ing in the scientific world who have pro-
nouuced love as an incipient form of In.
sanity, to be Gained and quieted or de-
veloped into an acute form by attend
ing circumstances
The report was current yesterday that
15-year-old Janet Thompson of Duarte
whose sea marriage with Homer Nor
man is being contested by her father,
had developed symptoms of decidedly
unsound nina.
When Judge Allen ordered that pend
ing decision of the case the young lady
should be placed under the care of some
motheriy woman to be agreed upon, Mrs.
SHELDON, wife of one of the deputy sher-
ifs, was chosen, but it developed that
the Sheldon family were at the seaside.
1t was then decided that Sheriff Burr
should take the young wife CD to San
Fernando and place her under the care
of Mrs. Burr, and that was done.
While no authentic information could
be obtained yesterday afternoon color
was given to the report anent Janet
Thompson having developed insanity by
the fact that curing the afternoon the
sheriff left for San Fernando, an unusual
thing for him to do in the middle of the
week. However, the decision of the court
may be given with regard to the valid
ity of the sea marriage, it is safe to say
the sympathy of very many people will
be with the young folks. The girl
though only Is years of age, looks, like
many California girls, much older than
her years She is mature of face and
form and if the manner of her elopemept
did not indicate equal maturity of mind,
at least in that respect errors of the
kind have ere this been committed by
women many years her senior.
Attorneys Walter F. Haas and A. NJ.
Stephens yesterday filed their brief for
the young couple with the court. 1t is
voluminous document, consisting of
twenty-five pages of typewriter mat
ter and, within certain lines, is exhaust
i've in treatment. Mr.. Haas has during
the short time at his disposal gathered
together a mass of authorities to sus-
tain the several points he made in argu-
ing for the validity of the marriage, and
beginning with the natural rights of in
dividnals" to marry-as laid Gown by
Blackstone and Bishop on Marriage and
Divorce-he has proceeded in logical So
quence in making his proof under the
several headings: age of Consent"
what Constitutes a Solemnization of
Marriage" How a Marriage Made in
Another State is Regarded by the Cali
fornia Laws" 1.-The California Statute

view of Opposing Counsel's Points,

LIE Compte Davis will, in behalf of the
father of the girl, file his opposing brief,
and the matter will then be considered
