Tenacity of Life in the Jew.

At this point a surprising fact confronts
us. Despite the appearances of physical
degeneracy which we have noted, the
Jew betrays an absolutely unprecedented
tenacity of life. 1t far exceeds, especially
in the United States, that of any other
known people. This we may illustrate
by the following example: Suppose two
groups of one hundred infants each. one
Jewish, one Of average American parent
age (Massac husetts) to be born on the
same, day. In spite of the disparity of
social conditions in favor of the latter,
the chances, determined by statistical
means, are that one-half of the Ameri-
cans will die within forty-seven years,
while the first half of the Jews will not
succumb to disease or accident before the
expiration of seventy-one years. The
death rate is really but little over half
that Of the average American population.
This holds good in infancy as in middle
age. Lombroso has put it in another
way. OF 1000 Jews born, 217 die before
the age of years, while 453 Christians
more than twice as many-are likely to
die within the same period This remark
able tenacity of life is well illustrated by
q most suggestive article by Hoffman,,
Professor w. u. Ripley in Appleton's
Popular Science Monthly.

UNARMED WHEN TAKEN
PROMPT ACTION OF A DEPUTY
SHERIFF.

and Inside of Three
Hours Had His
Man.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BAKERSFIELD, Jan. 17.-Murderer
Gleason, who walked out of jail on
Sunday, is again behind the bars. He
was captured at o'clock this evening
six miles from here, at Bealville, a sta
ton on the Southern Pacific this side
of Tehachapi. Deputy Sheriff T.
w. Glover was the officer who made
the capture. In less than three hours
he had the prisoner in Jail.
Glover got wind" that his man was
in the neighborhood of Bealville. He
got fresh horse and reached the point
in less than three hours. Much of the
way he had no road and had to go
through many fences. A few minutes
after arriving at Bealville he had
Gleason captured and handcuffed. and
shortly afterward the northbound pas
senger was boarded and they were
soon at the Jail.
Gleason was unarmed when captured.
Several persons met Gleason during
the day, and, strange to say, he told
them who he was and how slick" he
had walked out of jail and the crime
he was in for. He spent Sunday night
in the town and then walked away up
the railroad When captured he had
come in from the hills to get something
to eat.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH
IN A SEATTLE HOTEL

SEATTLE, Jan. 17.-Mrs. Hattie Curry,
wife of ]. NJ. Curry of San Fran
cisco, died from an overdose Of
morphine at the Hotel Stevens at 8
o'clock yesterday morning. She arrived
here on January from California
Dr. Sparkling, the County Coroner, be-
lieves now that she committed suicide
Yesterday morning he was of the opinion
that death was accidental. All those per-
sons who knew Mrs. Curry and her habits
are firmly Of the opinion that her death
was the result of large dose of morphine
taken to make her sleep. But Coroner
Sparkling is so strongly of the opinion at
this time that Mrs. Curry swallowed the
morphine with suicidal intent that he
does not consider it necessary to hold an
inquest.
Mrs. Curry has been separated from
her husband for some time. He owned
stone quarry at Yaquina Bay, Oregon,
and for many years made considerable
money, but since then he lost everything,
for he telegraphed to the Coroner to-day
that he could not bury the remains
Mrs. Curry had few days ago received
a letter from her husband, in which he
told her of his financial troubles and said
he could not take her back until She had
corrected some of her bad habits.

FOR THE COLONIAL FAIR.
Congress Will Be Asked to Appro
pirate Fifty Thousand.

A meeting of the board of directors of
the Mechanics Institute was held last
evening During the meeting the prin-
cipal business transacted was the adop-
ton of a memorial, to be presented to
Congress, urging that a subsidy of $4,000
be granted for the furtherance of the
proposed Colonial Fair to be held in this
city. 1t is the purpose of the institute
to illustrate at the fair the resources of
our newly acquired territory and other
Oriental and Central American countries
with which we have business relations,
and 1t is proposed to lay the foundation
of a commercial museum in San Francis
CO by turning over the exhibits after the
fair to the State Board of Trade or other
responsible body. Other commercial and
trade organizations have been invited to
sign the memorial and many of them have
already promised their support.
E. A. Denicke, J. P. Fraser and Rodney
Kendrick were appointed by the chair to
serve as the representation from the Me-
chanics Institute on the general commit
tee of the proposed Pacific Ocean Expo
sition, to be held in San Francisco in 1901.
Horace Wilson, George H. Wallis and P.
j. Healy were named as a committee to
meet the California Miners Association
on the subject of the conservation of
water
A resolution will be presented to the
members of Congress and the President

SAN JosE's POULTRY SHOW.

SAN JOSE, Jan. 17-All is in readiness
for the opening of the annual poultry
show of the Santa Clara Valley Poultry
and Kennel Club at Turn Verein Hall to-
morrow morning. Over 1900 birds are in
the coops, and the judging was completed
this afternoon. Fanciers say the show is
the best ever held in the West. Almost
all sections of the Pacific Coast are rep
resented by magnificent specimens of the
various birds. Fowls of all colors, shapes
and sizes, from the little bantams to the
heavy cochins, are in evidence, and the
cackling of hens and Growing of cocks
can be heard nearly a block away.
The show will continue four days, begin
ming tomorrow. The judging was done
by Henry Berrar, and exhibitors are
pleased with results. The awarding of
ribbons before the opening is an improve
ment on the old plan, and patrons the
first day can examine the best exhibits.
A large number of fanciers from all over
the State are in attendance.

omdurman and Pumping Lead.

The fire of our soldiers in the recent
frontier war in India has been very good,
and all the officers who had been at ON
durham agreed that our long-range rifle
fire there has been exceptionally accurate.
IF l were to describe the effect said
Lord Wolseley, "of the volley firing, l
would say that from the moment the
enemys line. an immense line virtually
and literally pumped lead upon came
within the zone of fire of 1000 yards, up to
the time when they ceased to advance,
because they were knocked down and
killed by the hundreds and thousands
our line virtually and literally pumped
lead into them. The fire was so heavy
that no one could live under it," This is
quite true; disciplined volleys are a ire
mendous weapon both of offense and de-
Tense but individual Workmanship IS also
of great Importance, as doubtless Lord
Wolseley would be the first to admit.
Nothing so much depresses an enemy
awaiting an attack in partial shelter as
the knowledge that the instant man ex-
poses himself he will get bullet crashing
through his brain.

"MEXICAN MORPHY"
HELD FOR TRIAL
Alleged Forger Denies That He De-
frauded the Bank in Which he
Was Employed.


NEW ORLEANS, Jan. T.-Santiago
Morphy, charged with being fugitive
from justice from the City of Mexico,
where he is wanted, it is said, for hav-
ing procured from the National Bank
SIC, 900 by means of forged checks, was
given a preliminary hearing this even
ing before Judge A. G.. Brice. He was
represented by Judge Henriques. Bail
was fixed at $4,000, in default of which
Morphy was remanded to jail.
Morphy made no attempt to conceal
his identity, talking to reporters freely.
He seemed astonished that he was
wanted for participation in the rob-
berry of the National Bank, in which
he held a clerical position up to the
time of leaving the country, ten months
ago. He said he had made no secret
of his whereabouts at any time and
had been in constant communication
with friends and relatives, and never
until his arrest last night had he had
even q suspicion he was believed to
have had anything to do with the crime
charged. He says he assumed the
name of George Murphy on the race
tracks as it would have ruined him in
Mexico were it known he was following
the turf. He says the story that he
lost any part of the stolen money in the
Baldwin Hotel fire in San Francisco is
untrue.

BONDING TIMBER CLAIMS.
Ninety Thousand Acres of Pine
Lands Secured by a Syndicate.

REDDING, Jan. IA. D. Bartle, who
is engaged in bonding timber claims in
the McCloud River region for an Eastern
syndicate, left this city Sunday evening
for San Francisco to confer with f1nan-
cial agents of the concern. 1t is stated
on the best of authority that Mr. Bartle
has successfully bonded 10000 acres of
pine lands, extending into the White
Horse section of Modoc County. The COM
pany which he represents has secured
the contract of the branch railroad put
ting out from the main line of the South
ern Pacific Company at Castle Crag sta
ton. The road was, never completed by
the Red Cross Lumber Company, which
undertook the project. In the spring it
will be thrown forward into the heart of
the great timber reserve acquired by the
Eastern company and an extensive lum-
bering enterprise will be carried on
Timber claims have been bonded for
sums varying from $3.50 per quarter sec
ton downward, 1t being stipulated in the
bonds that payments would be made by
the middle Of February. This practically
untouched forest is said to be the finest

EXPECTED A CONFEDERATION
SENSATION IN THE TIBURoN
ARSON CASE.
Evidence That the Wife of the Ac-
cused Man Was Prepared to
Flee From the
Flames.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN RAFAEL, Jan. 17.-If the most
important link in the chain of evidence
connecting Henry Young with at
tempted arson at Tiburon had been
known 10 the Infatuated townsmen the
night he was arrested by Deputy Con-
stable Fletcher and placed under the
guard of the two armed men he prob
ably would not have lived to be the
central figure in the sensational trial
TO begin next Monday. District At
torney McIsaac and Constable Hughes,
who have been hard at work collect
ing evidence against the accused man,
were rewarded to-day by the discov-
cry of facts which these authorities be-
lieve will not only send Young himself
to the penitentiary, but which place his
pretty little wife in the unenviable light
Of an aCcomplice in the crime.
Half an hour after the fire had been
started in the Daily Supply" or Young
& MitchelTs store, and while an angry
mob was clamoring for the life of the
suspected man, Mrs. Young slipped
quietly away with suicidal intent and
jumped into the waters of the bay. She
was rescued, taken to the Sonoma
House and placed in the care of Mrs.
CoOkson, Mrs. Hansen, Mrs. Lind and
MISS Kate OC0nnelI. 1neSe women
now come forward with statements
that warrant the authorities in believ-
ing the conviction of Young certain.
At the time she attempted suicide by
drowning Mrs. Young wore a night
dress, the same garment in which she
was attired on leaving the burning
building. When the women who were
delegated to take care of Mrs. Young
started to remove her wet clothing they
were astOnished to discover that she
was completely dressed and that the
nightgown had been donned over her
regular garments. This is taken as
proof that she was awaiting the alarm
of fire and had not been in bed at all,
late as was the hour.
Another important witness who vol
unteers testimony is the cook of Mrs
Lind, who lived next door to the
Youngs. She says that late in the
evening. after the clerk, Edward But
Ter, had departed, both Young and his
wife appeared in the back yard and cut
a large quantity OF kindling wood,
something neither had been seen to do
at any time previously. All six rooms
in which the fires were started were
filled with kindling wood saturated with
kerosene oil.
District Attorney McIsaac admits
that he is in possession of several other
strong circumstantial links, but for OBJ
viOus reasons refuses TO divulge their
nature. Young is a wealthy man and
has engaged Attorney j. w. Cochrane
for his defense, with the assertion that
