Henry A. Hicks and the other members

who, for alleged violation of the laws of
the order, revoked the charter of Assem-

authority of Master Workman Hicks to
revoke this charter, and appealed to the
courts for relief. Upon their aspiration,
made by Lawson, Clements, and others,
the court granted temporary injunc-
ton, restraining the general officers from
carrying their order into effect.
Subsequent to this the general officers
issued another order eKpeliing Lawson,
Clements, and the other officers of Dis

THEY LIVE LONG.
Some Remarkable Facts About the
Longevity of the jews.

Some Remarkable Facts About the
Longevity of the Jews.
(From the New York Commercial Adyertiser.)
Probably few persons outside statistical
circles are aware of the fact that the
Jews are considerably longer lived than
any other civilized race.
OF 100000 Hebrews born on the same day
there will be 5O,6S4 males and 1876 fe-
males At the end of the first year the
100 600 Jewish infants will have estab-
lished in most remarkable way their
superiority in point of vitality, for only
S,O91 will have died, as compared With
Ia, 1872 in the English experience. and 1916
Americans.
Striking as this difference is, 1t will be
found to be practically maintained
throughout the later stages of life. At
the end of five years only 1854 Jewish
children out of the 600 will have lied,
while out of a. similar number of English
children 24,679 will have Joined the great
majority, and America will still keep her
bad pre-eminence with 26.912 angels.
Making a leap TO middle age. the deaths
at fifty years of age will have been II, sig
Jews, as compared with 4s,079 English, and
at the age of sixty-five the mortality re-
turns will stand at S7,442 and 66,110. respec-
lively.
But the full force of comparison is hard
ly seen until the point of extreme old age
is reached. At eightyIfive years no fewer
than 25, 1876 of our 100000 Jews will be still
living, while the survivors of the English
band will be a meager $3.50.
Beside the curious reversal of the usual
proportion of males and females. there is
another unique feature in the Jewish sta
tistics. The general experience is that
the average duration of life is higher with
the female than with the male. The op-
poste is the case with the Jews OF the
%, 135 Jewish survivors at the age of
eighty-five there will be 1920 men and
only 500 women-a percentage of 64.G0
males and $40 females The English ex-
perience shows that at that age $3.50 per
cent of the survivals will be female and
40 10 males.

CHRONIC RHEUMATISM.
\ Malady That Makes Life Almost
Unbeatable.

From the News, jackson, u. S. A.:
The subject of this sketch is fifty-six
years of age and actively engaged in
farming. When II years old he hurt
his shoulder, and a few years after
commenced to have rheumatic pains
in it. On taking slight cold or the
least strain, sometimes without any
apparent cause whatever, the trouble
would start and he would suffer the
most eXcrucating pains.
He suffered for over thirty years,
and the last decade has suffered SO
much that he was unable to do any
work. To this the frequent occurrence
of dizzy spells were added, making
him almost helpless invalid.
He tried the best physicians but
without being benefited and has us
ed several specific rheumatic cures,
but was not helped. About one year
and six months ago he read in this
paper of case somewhat similar to
his which was cured by DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and concluded to try this
remedy.
After taxing the first box he felt
somewhat better, and after using
three boxes. the pains entirely disap-
peared the dizziness entirely left him,
and he has now for over a year been
entirely free from his former trouble
and enjoys better health than he has
since his boyhood.

new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves are contain
