Length Of Life.

According to NJ. l. Holl Schooling,
OF Brussels, there is very easy way
calculating the age TO which human
being may reasonably expect to live,
but it is only applicable il his present
age lies between twelve and eighty
six years. The method is really an
old one and was originally discovered
by the mathematician, Demoivrc,
who in 1865, emigrated from France
to England, and became member of
the Royal Society. The rule is this:
Subtract your present age from S6,
divide the remainder by 2, and the
result will give the number of years
which you may expect to live. The
rule may be approximately correct for
some ages, and represents perhaps the
nearest solution of an insoluble
problem at which we can arrive.

SCHOOL NOTES.

Motto-"What you win in life you
must conquer by your own efforts
and then it is yours"
The pupils OF the ninth grade are
progressing with PROFESSIONS in arith-
metic.
Anna Meehan entered the ninth
grade and Kenneth Starr entered the
eighth grade last week.
Each room is now furnished with
good clock. The teachers and pupils
find it great advantage.
Attendance is excellent in the in.
termediate department. Only three
cases of hardness last week. The
pupils of that department feel quite
proud of the fact that they are able
to keep the banner picture; but it is
unfair to the pupils of the primary
department that they should be de-
prived of the picture on account OF
the hardness of two or three pupils
All the grades Of the intermediate
department are having examinations
this week.
Charlie and Treva Bear have moved
to Spokane with their parents, where
they will attend school.

BOYCOTT is ON THE WAN E
Organized Effort to Crush It Out at Cleve-
land.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, August 5.-No vio-
lence of any kind has occurred in connec-
ton with the street car strike for more than
thirty-six hours, and as result two addi-
tional companies of militia were relieved
from duty today.
That the boycott sentiment is on the de-
cline there is no longer any doubt. There
is a marked increase in the number of pas
sengers carried the Big Consolidated
lines each day. This is especially true
along the Broadway and Brooklyn lines,
where the boycott movement has been
most pronounced.
The business men, wholesale and retail
merchants, representing nearly every line
of trade, have, in conjunction with the
chamber of commerce, taken steps toward
making an organized fight against the
boycott. Committees have been appointed
to canvass the city in order to secure the
cooperation Of tradespeople generally, and
already many of them have agreed to dis
regard the boycott from this time on.
The strikers, on the other hand, declare
that they are receiving liberal donations
for their support and are in position to
keep UP the fight indefinitely.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 5.-The steam
er Hong Kong Maru brings the following
advices from Honolulu. under date of July
90:
The United States ship Badger, bearing
two of the three Samoan commissioners ar
rived at this port. Wednesday afternoon,
July 26. eight days from Apia, on her way
to San Francisco
On board are Bartlett Trip, United
States commissioner, and Baron Won Stern
berg, representative of Germany. Mr.. c.
H. E. Eliot, commissioner for Great Br1-
tain, sailed by way of New Zealand and
Australia for London to report directly to
his government.
The later days of the commissions stay
in Samoa We're devoted to evolving polit-
ical organism that would be satisfactory to
the Samoans and would work satisfactorily
to all parties concerned under the tripar-
tite treaty. A scheme was adopted.
The members of the commission decline TO
state lis particulars until 1t has been re-
ferred to their respective governments, but
they have given out that Samoa will in
future be ruled by white governor APP
pointed by the three powers, much as the
chief justice is at present.
There win be native council or legisia-
tCre, but the governor will have the veto
power and the chief justice will be the
final authority N the land from whom
there will be no appeal.
Approved by Samoans.
This arrangement met the approval of
the Samoans. The day before the COM
mission sailed delegations of thirteen men
from each faction met on the Badger and
signed the articles thus officially approx
ing the arrangement in the name of their
respective chiefs, Mataafa and Malietoa.
When the commission sailed all was quiet
and seemed likely to remain
Residents of Samoa have filed with the
commissioners claims aggregaung $4,000
for property destroyed during the recent
temporary occupation OF Muiinuu by Amer
lean and British sailors.
The largest claim is from the Catholic
Marist Mission, $1,000, and is for the loot
ing of the premises by natives, upon in
structionS, it is said, of the British com
nander Another is from a German firm,
$4,000, for much the same reasons. Other
claims are from settlers whose property
was damaged in various ways.
Austrian Consul Resigned.
]. F. Hackfeld for the past five years
consul general in the Hawaiian Islands for
Austro- Hungary has resigned that posi-
ton. Mr., Hackfeld is interested in the
Oahu plantation, which employs a number
of Galician laborers, subjects of Austria.
Some time ago7a nutiber of these labor
ers refused to work according to their con-
tracts, and weres arrested and tried, con-
they would take up their duties at the
plantation
Mr. Hackfeld resigned because he felt he
could not honorably remain in position
where his official duties would seem to con-
flct with his business Interests.

Unsatisfactory Bank Statement

GENERAL MARKET REPORT
;pecIal Dispatch to The Evening star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening star.
NEW YORK, August 5.-Stock exchange
holidays in London today and Monday had
a tendency to restrict the usual arbitrags
dealings with the other side. Our own
stock market was extremely dun at the
opening and most of the trading con-
fined TO the room traders. In expectation
OF another uRfayorable bank statement, the
feeling was somewhat bearish There was
also talk of more friction in the northwest
between the trunk lines over passenger
rates. Realizations in the tobacco stocks
were responsible for a little setback in
those specialties; but there was very little
pressure to sell the standard stocks.
Kansas City, Pittsburg and gulf securi-
ties and National Biscuit, common, were
about the strongest features Of the early
market, the former stock scoring a 2-point
advance without explanation. while the
latter stock was firmer on renewal Of re-
ports that it might soon receive a dividend.
American Shelters and Car Foundry stocks
were both active and somewhat higher.
Tennessee Coal and Iron was comparative
iy steady.
Speculation as a whole in the early deal
ings. with the few exceptions above noted,
was without significance. Government
bonds were unchanged; railroad bonds ir-
regular.
The bank statement which follows was.
TX anything. more Disappointing one than
the traders expected TO see. and I'm conse-
cuence there was some additional selling
by this element, causing a further frac-
tional decline in most of the active shares.
The sales alluded to, however, were prin-
cipally for the short account. liquidaling
sales being few and confined mostly to the
group Of industrials THAI have advanced so
sharply during the past week. The buying
on this last recession in the market was
considered much better than the selling,
consequently prices are not expected to
yield much further before another advance
takes place.
This view of the situation is strengthened
by the large increased earnings that are
being reported by the railroads generally.
Those reported today follow: Southern

Paris correspondent Of the Times, gives an
extraordinary explanation of NJ Delcasse's
present mission He asserts that it was de-
clded upon quite suddenly for a reason
which admitted of no delay" and then
gives the story, which, he says he has
from "a source to which l am bound to at
tach Importance" This is the explanation:
Emperor Nicholas is disappointed and
tired of the throne. The absence of an heir
excites his superstitious feelings, and he
connects himself with a Russian legend, ac-
cording to which an heirless car is to be
succeeded by Gar Michael predestined

The death OF the czarewich and the

becoming known in Paris NJ. Delcasse was
sent in not haste to dissuade him from car

TWO POLICE OFFICERS.
Result of a Trial Growing Dat of the
Marshall Case.

In the case of Policemen Alexander Nc
kie and H. c. cambridge, recently tried
for violating paragraph n of the police
manual, the District Commissioners today
directed that they pay a fine of SO each,
and be transferred to separate precincts.
The trial Of the two officers grew out Of
the case of officer Marshall, who is said to
have entered a saloon in the night time
with a key furnished him by some I'M
known party, and was apprehended by the
proprietor of the place. The hearing failed
to develop that Marshall was guilty of lar
ceny, but Officers McKie and cambridge
were apprised OF Marshal1s conduct and
failed, 1t was charged, to take action
against him or to make prompt report of
the same. to their superior officers, they
having been solicited, so 1t was further
charged, to keep the matter quiet.
The proprietor refused 10 prosecute Mar
shall, desiring 10 permit him TO resign and
leave the District. The trial officer found
Dandri1ge guilty and Mchie not guilty. In
forwarding The findings OF The trial officer
to the Commissioners Major Sylvester, the
chief of police reported follows:
Private DaEdridge has been the force
little over a year, and am satisfied was
in qGandry as to what would be the
proper action for him TO take under the
circumstances. Al the same time, there
was technical violation of the regulations
on his part. | attribute his stand to weak

Mr.. Chas. j. Bell wrote to Mai. Sylvester
on behalf of Officer cambridge. suggesting
that fine and transfer to all inferior post
would fully meet the requiI ements of the
case. This view was taken by Commission
er Wight, who has immediate supervision
OF the police force, for he recommended TO
his associates as follows, and his recon-
mendation has been approved:

the occurrence reported the facts, heliev-
ing that the man ON whose beat the affair
happened would take action. In my opin-
ion, these members are not up to police
requirements and should be removed from
the force, though | am willing to be char
liable TO the extent of forwarding the case
for the superior judgment and mercy of the
honorable Commissioners of the District.
I'm view, however, of the fact that
cambridge has been upon the force but
short time. and that McKie seems to have
been actlated by a kindly feeling toward
cambridge, although a mistaken one.
