Remarkab,s Case of longevity.

A remarkable case Of longevity In
woman whose brain and time have
been taxed to the utmost all her life Is
found In Nine. du Bos d'Elbheeq Of
Paris. She Is 90 years old, and for
fifty three years has been a member OF
the Societe DIES Gems de Lettres Of that
city. She Is the oldest member OF the
organization, the nearest 10 her In
point of age being Eugene Ncuillot,
who Is 80, and Mr.. Legoune, who Is 10.
Nine. du Bos d Elbhecq Is very sorry
to have lived 40 long. Her experience
OF very great age Is given IN one
word-solltude. She has outliyed hls-
hand. son, grandchildren, friends, and
has, for little quiet society, gone TO
live In convent at Anglers. She was

secretary OF the Societe des Gems de
Lettres TO inclosc IA certificate that she
lives. Her handwriting remains hrid
and leglble. She works as an au'
thoress, chiefly writing for peasants
and country folk. When she last APP
piled for her pension she was suffering
from influenza, but has recovered. She
began 10 work for the printers at the
age OF 20, that Is to say seyenty-nine
years ago. She led regular life, was
never poor, never very well Off, aud
had many kind friends. The last OF
her old friends, Admiral de Ribours,
died two years ago.

MARBLE FOR THE DEAD.
A Proposed Monument to Captain O'Neill and Other Brave Arizonians.

A movement has been suggested by several residents of Phoenix for the erection of a monument to Captain William o. O'Neill and other brave boys of Arizona who have fallen or may fall in the war with Spain. The suggestion regards the Capitol grounds as the most appropriate place for such an expression of grateful sentiment in marble. Those who have first thought of this desire that it be given publicity through the columns of The Republican so that the views of all Arizonians may be called out The response, they believe, will be general. Even If patriotic sentiment itself were lacking in the territory, the per sonality of Captain O'Neill, who was known and loved in every town and mining camp in Arizona, would invite generous response.
 It is not proposed to erect the mon- ument or to decide upon it's design until the war is over and the roll of the honored dead shall be closed. But it is not too early now to bring the matter before the people of the terri tory.
