MEN, WOMEN AND LIFE.
An Argument to Show That Woman
Has Strongest Hold on Existence.

Some interesting facts to prove that
women outlive men were published re-
Gently in the Sun. DR.. Clara Bliss Fin
ley, of Washington, D. c., says that the
claim made by insurance companies
that women between given ages are
not such safe risks as men is at vari-
ance with all statistics of the census,
hospitals and infirmaries.
After careful examination of the
vast amount of literature on this sub
ject afforded by the capitol and sur
geon generals office Libraries" says
DIR. Finley, II make the assertion that
in point of fact women are safer risks
because they live longer. More male
than female children are born, and
more men than women die between the
ages of fifteen and forty-five years
experience of one physician with re-
gard to births showed total of 1890
boys and 1886 girls; 1O4 more boys than
girls.
"In England and Wales the women
live about one year longer than men.
In London the difference is pushed up
to two or three years in favor of wo-
men. In the census of 1870 the per-
centage OF deaths per thousand was:
Male, 1892; Female, 20,72. In 1880 1t
was: Male, 903; female, 1872. Turning
to our own census we see that in 1870
the death rate between the ages of Is
and As were as follows: Men, 72,575;
women, So, 100. or the immigrants who
landed on our shores the mortality be-
tween these ages stood: Men, 1,210,5 ,5S3;
women, 674,160, leaving a surplus of
536,423 women-a fine army of Anna
IONS! And while we are on statistics
i cannot resist the temptation of tell
ing you something the census revealed
to me which gave me not little COM
fort; AMI / tell 1t even at the risk of
having you gentlemen feel a little net
tied, as you do when a woman swings
out that exasperating sentence, L told
you sov Well, what the census told me
was that more men than women die of
nervous diseases.
1.-THE principal anxiety seems to be
in regard to child bearing, but the
deaths from this cause have been re-
duced to a minimum. In 1860 the aver
age was l in every forty; In 1920 in
every 120, and now 1t has been brought
down to the remarkable low figure
of / In every 1000. Another incontro-
vertible argument is that married wo-
men live longer than men,"

Sailors Bethel, which contains a dozen
beds, a dining room, a reading room
and a lecture hall.
He was elected one of the members
Of the school board for thirteen years
in succession. and II is evident from
letters and testimonials now in the pos
session of Mr.. Hughes, both from pub
lie men and corporate bodies, that he
took very prominent part in most of
the local and imperial questions of the
day. On the recommendation of the
president of the Baptist Union of Great
Britain and Ireland, Mr.. Hughes was
invited to take charge of the Baptist
churches at Port Elizabeth in South
Africa. After three years successful
labor in this town, at the request of
the leading men of the Baptist denom-
ination in Cape Coloney, proceeded up
to the diamond fields for the purpose of
trying to establish a new church in
Kimberley. This object was attained,
for in three years a church was built
to accommodate six hundred worship
pers at a cost of $25, 900, which was gen.
orally well-filled, and the debt of $4,000
was taken out in debenture shares by
the members of the congregation at 5
per cent interest. Mr.. Hughes lived in
Kimberley for seven years and was the
means of assisting hundreds of poor
people with food, money, or employ
ment. He assures us that five persons
day called at his residence on an
average, for six years, seeking help in
one way or another In 1895 Mr.. Hughes
was appointed president of the Baptist
Union of South Africa. During his
presidential year he secured as a free
gift to the denomination 5000 acres of
land for mission purposes. This was
divided into three farms of 5000 acres
each with the intention of establishing
three centres of Industrial Christians
missions among the heathen in that
dark country.
Soon after the initial steps had been
taken for the establishment of these
| mission centres Mr.. Hughes was ad-
vised to leave the country on account
of domestic affiiction. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hughes buried three Of their children
out there in one grave and We're likely
to loose two more had they not come
| away. The health of the family has
been restored during the twelve months
they have been travelling about from
one health resort to another, but on ac-
count of the troubled state of things
and the gathering war-clouds in South
| Africa they have decided to come and
| live and labor in America. Mr.. Hughes
has preached and lectured nearly every
| week since he landed in the states and
has been very favorably impressed
| with the conditions of life in this coun-
try and the uniform kindness and cour-
tesy which he has received since he
came among us. He hopes to be back
in Scranton in months time.

Hughes is a native of Blaenavon in

an early age. While in his teens the
church advised him to enter the Chris

he procured private tutor in the per-
son of the Rev. Mr.. Aiticheson of New

scholastic distinction, and in due time
he entered the theological college at
Pontypool, where he acquitted himself
with much credit and satisfaction to
the professors. Before leaving this in

churches, but being wishful to enter
the English ministry he elected to go
into Lancashire. Here he remained for
twenty years. During his ministration
