work overtime can't afford to object,
for many obvious reasons. Mrs. Bak-
er believes this. too, and so she has
constituted herself as the champion
Of the wronged employees, and Of the
public whose safety is imperiled by
compelling motormen to work exceed
ingly long hours. First she remon-
strated with the manager, then when
remonstrance didn't succeed, she
caused suit to be instituted against the
company, and has not only retained
some Of the best legal talent of the me-
tropolis to conduct the prosecution, but
is spending time and additional money
to secure evidence that will convict.
She has been importuned by her fash
ionable friends not to do this, but her
replies may be summed up in the
statement that she doesn't see why a
corporation shauld be permitted to
violate law simply because it's rich.
Every wOrkingman and every other
right-minded person will respect and
applaud Mrs. Baker for her course. But
isn't 1t a terrible -arraignment Of the
prevalent way Of doing things that it
needs the active aid of an influential
and wealthy woman to have the ma
chinery of law Get in motion to call a
law-defying corporation to book?
When there is an invasion of the rights
of a corporation, or even a faint sus-
picion that such a thing is contem-
plated, how the policemen, prosecuting
attorneys, and even he judges of our
courts fairly fall over each other in
their haste to prevent or punish the
outrage! But when the shoe is on the
other foot, when the plain citizen with
out big piles Of money is imposed upon
and made to suffer because a corpora
ton chooses to defy law, then the po-
liceman is blind, the prosecuting at
torney has mo official c~ognizance" Of

PHILADELPHIA LONGEVITY.

Live to a Good ola Age in the Quaker
City.
On July : last statistics were pub
lished in these columns showing the
number Of deaths which had occurred
during the preceding six months
among persons who had lived to or be-
yond the age Of 80 years. The total
for that period was 443, of which 1872
were men and 251 women, says the
Philadelphia Ledger.
During the last half Of 1898 there
have been published in the obituary
columns Of the Ledger the deaths Of
431 persons who lived to or beyond the
age of 80 years. OF these 1873 were
men and 243 were women Compared
with the corresponding period of 1897
the last six months of the year which
is just past shows a great increase in
the number of deaths among aged peo-
pie. In the last half of 1897 the to-
tai number of deaths was 329, or 1O2
less Titan the aggregate Of the six
months just past; the result is due in
some measure to the epidemic of grip,
which raised the death rate of the last
two weeks of the year from an aver
age of A for the past eight years to
81, though the death rate for these two
weeks in 1898 was very nearly as high
viz, IS, and in 1891 it was higher
viz. 101. The total number of deaths
OF octogenarians, nonagenarians. and
centenarians announced in the Public
Ledger during the twelve months end
ing Dec. 81, 1898, was S74, divided into
$50 men and 494 women, showing that
80 per cent more women reach so than
do men. OF the males As reached or
passed the age Of 80, the average of
their ages being so years and six
months, while the 76 women who lived

earnest and straight to the point;
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I feel il my

appealed to Governor Johnstcn not to
Interfere with the Issuance OF a mar

people knew the Ray family would
never consent to the marriage.
An elopemeni was planned. Miss
Ray went to Wetumpka, %ostensibly to

was taken home.

Ray left home on the pretense that
she was going to visit a girl friend.
The bride-elect was met at the rail-
road by Baldwin and a small group Of
friends. The couple embraced each
other and FASTENED 20 the shack in

see the couple take their positions in

Baldwin by one sleeve Of his prison
garb and attempted to jerk him out
Of the room. The powerful justice of
the peace showed Hand back and
thrust himself between Baldwin and
the interrupter. The magistrate fumed
for a moment. stamped his feet, said
some harsh things TO Hand, and then
declared the couple married. Baldwin
was taken back to the stockade.
