the ex6fementitious substances, whicn
gives rise to pernicious nutrition, and
that In turn ID the cause Of the tendency
TO develop malignant or benign growths
IN diheeent parts OF the body In old age.
The strong tendency to overeat and
l~underdrink, together with the natural
decline OF functional power, gives rise
TO q condition Of lithemia, which is the
prime cause Of the majority Of deaths
In old age. In the healthy state that
great glandular furnace and chemical
laboratory, the liver, iscapable Of trans
forming an excess OF heterogeneous matter,
which may result from metabolism Of
tissue or exist in the food consumed,
into the highly soluble excrementitious
substance known as urea. This excre-
ment is eliminated from the blood.
mainly by the kidneys and to a much
less extent by the skin.
Now, in old age, with the functional
power and natural vitality on the wahe,
together with the strong tendency to
overlap this function Of the liver, we
find this waste is not converted into
urea, but into uric OF lithic acid, a COM
paratively insoluble excrementitious and
toxic substance, which if it appears in
the blood in sufficient quantity aud is
long enough continued in circulation
through the urinary tubules sets up ir-
ritation and inflammation, which inev-
itably impair the function of the renal
epithelium, and we find this poisonous
substance is not eliminated from the
system, but accumulates in the blood.
This explains why old people are
almost universally troubled with disease
Of the liver, kidneys, bladder and pros
tate gland. The unstable circulation, !
atheromatous changes and br%ittleness
of the walls of the blood vessels, with
the tendency to overtax the digestive
apparatus, are the cause of many old peo-
pie going to ''that bourn from which
no traveller returns by the a%poplectic
route.
Hereditary diseases naturally mani.
fest themselves when the vitality is be-
low q certain level, so we are not sur
prised to find certain dyscrasic and
latent tendencies manifesting them
selves at this period of life, when the
natural vitality is waning. The diseases
m6st frequently found to be the cause
of dissolution among the aged are pneu-
monia, diseases Of the liver and urinary
organs, consumption. cancer, apoplexy
and gangrene.
The enemy to longevity, the author
continues. is self indulgence. People
who have reached an advanced age may
prolong their lives and greatly add to
the comfort Of their declining years by
diminishing the quantity Of food in
gested, thereby avoiding too large a
residue Of waste matter either in the
intestinal canal or in the form of excre-
matter in the blood.-Jour-
nal Of American Medical Association.

NO OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION

Believed at Warrington, However, That
Spain Has Accepted Our Terms.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-secretary al.
ger, al he left the White House after q
conference with the pre- sident, said
they had no official information that
the Spanish government had accepted
the proposals Of the United States.
Unofaoially, the president had been
informed that the Spanish ministry
had acceded to the terms Of this coun.
Try for q cessation q the war. The
unofficial information, however, came
in the form not only Of press dis.
patches, but of private dispatches from
confidential agents of the United
States government.
While this government has strong
reasons to believe that it, terms Of
peace have been agreed to by the Mad.
lid government, the president takes
nothing for granted. Efforts to bring
the wal to q successful conclusion are
going forward precisely as II no nego-
6ations for peace had been started.

to secure employment when they reach

boats are being built that are entirely

OLD COMES
IT DEPENDS NOT UPON YEARS, BUT
UPON VITAL FORCE.

Tho Greatest Enemy to Long Lifo Is Self
Indulgence Why People Of Advanced

Moro Freely.
Some men r 30 years younger phys.
acally and mentally than others are at
the same age. It is self evident that old
age does not begin at any set time. 60
far as the divisions of time divide the
periods Of life, but that it has to do
with that subtle agent known as the
vital force, al acquaintance with which
enables the analytical mind to become
proficient in prognosis by weighing in
the balance the vitality on the n side
with the pathology ON the other.
The indication Of old age may be no.
tioed by ocular inspection. The figure
stoops, the walk is less elastic, the
rounded figure gives place to the spare
habit Of body, the wrinkle Of time
mounts the cheek, while the frost Of
many winters mantles the brow. The
typical healthy person who attains old
age is spare Of body, and old age en-
phasizes this fact by causing a paucity
Of adipose tissue. So the wrinkle Of
time, after all. is kindly in nature.
Physiologically we notice that .
diminution Of the physical energy Is 40.
companied By corresponding diminu=
ton Of the power to eliminate waste
material from the body. Elasticity and
strength give place TO hardness and
brittleness Of nearly all the tissues %

PRESSING BRITISH CLAIMS
Lord Salisbury Lays Down the Law on
International Obligations.
And Makes a Specific Demand in Behalf Of
Some Honolulu People Who We're
Hardly Dealt With.

The report of the Minister OF
Foreign Affairs just made public
gives some official information in
regard to the claims made by Great
Britain on behalf of certain of
her subjects who we're imprisoned
during the insurrection of 1895,
from which it appears that those
claims are still being pressed
against this Republic.
Minister Cooper says that in
his last report he made mention
that the representatives of foreign
powers had requested information
in regard to the arrest of Ger
tain persons charged with com.
plicity in the insurrection and
goes on to say:
Among those persons were
certain British subjects on ac
count of whom the British gov
ernment has demanded the pay
ment of certain sums in the way
of indemni6cation. Up to the
time of writing this report no
formal written reply has been
made to the letter of the Bri ish
Commissioner under date of May
%, 1896, but the late A. G. S.
Hawes, Her Majesty's Commits
sioner, on the occasion of call at
the Foreign Office was informed
that this government recognized
no liability in regard to any of the
claims, with the exception of that
of Chas. E. Dunwell.
This information was commu.
nicated to the Foreign Office at
London, and in due course the
reply of Lord Salisbury was trans
mitted to this Department, which
was in effect that Her Ma sty's
government would not accept the
refusal of this government to
compensate the claimants, and a
specific demand was made on be
half of the following persons: :E. b.
Thomas, G. w. Ashford, f. III
Redward, W. F. Reynolds, Thomas
Rawlins, g. Carson Kenyon, l.. j.
Levy, Nj s. Bailey and f. Harrison,
the demand in the case of Dun
we'll having been received on a
previous date"
Further consideration of this
matter was interrupted by the
death of Mr.. Hawes in August
1897, and no further steps we're
taken until the arrival of Mr.
W. j. Kenny, acting Consul
General, who again brought this
matter to the attention of the gov
ernment.
The final answer of this govern
ment in this matter was commu
nicated to Mr.. Kenny December
IL, 1897, in which the government
reiterated it's former position thai
it did not recognize any liabiIi y
in any of the cases except that OF
Dunwell.

LORD sALIsBURY's VIEWS.

In an appendix to Minister
Cooper's report is found the letter
of Mr.. Hawes to Mr.. Cooper Of
May %, 1896, referred to above, in
which the British Commissioner
gives the views of Her Majesty's
Government in no uncertain tones.
The letter is reprinted in full:
"Sir: 1 have the honor to in. .
form you that the note addressed
to me by Mr.. Hatch on the 4th of
November last has received the
most careful attention and consid-
GRAFTON at the hands of Her Ma
jesty's Government.
at is not controverted that on
the occasion of an insurrection
any government is justified in
proclaiming martial law and in
using the force necessary for it's
suppression nor is it disputed that
a government possesses the right
to require the removal from it's
country of an alien whose pre-
sence may reasonably be expected
to produce disorder, or to inter
fere with the maintenance of good
government. Her Majesty's Gov
ernment consider that an alien
resident in any country may be
properly prosecuted and punished
in due course of law for seditious
offenses or for conduct endanger-
ing the peace of the community
and properly punishable by the
law in force; but they cannot ac-
cept the proposition that by the
acquisition of a domicile in the
Hawaiian Islands British sub

Marriage Licenses.

Late Friday afternoon COUNTY
Clerk l.. V. Ehlen issued a marriage
license to Herbert A. Brown anC
Julia E. Gillogly, The happy couple
carried the license into execution
within an hour after it had been is
sued. The parties reside at Argent
This morning similar license was
issued TO NJ. l.. Eskew and Hattie
Cartwright, both OF Mehama. Janu-
AIRY has been an unusually quiet month
so far as marriages are concerned.
There has been but eight licenses is
sted thus far this month which Is in
striking contrast with the large num-
Der that haye been issued monthly for
several preceding months. A deputy
county clerk suggests that this ap-
parent inactivity in matrimonial cir
cles may be attributed as results Of
the remarkable large exodus of the
male contingent To the gold fields;
that the fair damsels are awaiting the
degree of success that may attend the
Of their "intended," be-
fore they give their heart and hand.
A revival In the marriage license
business is expected upon the return
