100 YEARS OLD.
Nathaniel Robbins, South Deer
Isle, Reaches That Age.
Quietly Celebrates Occasion, tuesday
Remarkably Active and Strong.
Hair Has Arrived.

Ellsworth, Me, March 13.-Nathaniel
Robbins of South Deer Isle, Me, was
100 years old. today. His townsmen
proposed to give public celebration
in his honor, but it was feared the cx-
element and cXertion might prove to
element and exertion might prove too
much for the aged man and it was
decided that he should hold a quiet re
ception at his home.
For several years the birthday ami
versaries of Uncle Nathaniel" as Mr..
Robbins is generally known, have been
important events in the quiet life OF
South Deer Isle. This year, conSratu-
lations, flowers and visitors came in
unusual profusion, much to the Sratiii-
cation of the venerable man, who Is of
a most social disposition.
Mr.. Robbins retains his strength and
faculties to a remarkable degree; in
fact, there are Indications of returning
vigor, which are considered marvellous.
SO years ago, he found that he no
longer needed the aid of sp2ctaclcs in
reading.
The most remarkable evidence of re-
newed youth, however, is his hair.
Years ago, Mr.. Robbins hair turned
white and then gradually fell out until
he was nearly bald. a year ago, his
friends noted with surprise that new
hair was growing and his hitherto bold
crown is covered with a thick growth
of soft, dark hair. He says it is the
same color as that of his childhood.
No one would judge Mr.. Robbins to
be more than 20 years Of age.
Mr.. Robbins was born within a mile
of his present home. He was twice
married and has seven children living,
besides many grandchildren and great
grandchildren.

There are men in the world who ar,

men drink liquor because they enjoy
the taste of it, and some because they
ENJOY the sensation OF getting glorious
~ drunk, but there are those whose
only satisfaction seems to be derived
from getting drunk and remaining so.
It's curious, but true.
One difficulty in the way of this class
OF men is the expense OF a protractcd
Jag. To acquire that condition they
must keep drinking. and to keep drink
ing they must keep on spending This
is inconvenient to many ana impossible

in the shade by a drink which is said

TIE END IN SIGHT.

1t looks that the end Of the war in
south Africa. so often fixed by authori-
ties in London and English generals in
South Africa, AMI as often postponed
is not now very remote. After making
all allowances for lying English dis
patches, 1t is plain that matters are
going desperately against the Boer pa
tricts- The odds are too great. and
with five armies In the Transvaal
each the equal of any they can muster
1t Is plain that the Beers can not offer
Tor long. any organized or effective re-
s'stance Wherever they make a stand
they will be outflanked. and have no
choice but 10 retreat or he surrounded
and suffer the fate Of Cronje. The plan
of campaign adopted by General Rob

layman. He merely avoids the frontal

If they extend their thin lines. breaks
through. So Botha has been forced
steadily backward, DAY after day. There
is but one danger to Roherts-his long
line OF communication-and he seems
to be able TO protect that. while Kitch-
ener's genius for organization has thus
far fed an army with transportation
facilities that Continental critics have
declared to be wholly inadequate. The
lsoor's are reported to he greatly dis
ccuiag ed. This may or may not he so. IT
is doubtless greatly exaggerated. 1t
was reported Immediately after Glands
laagte that Kruger was about TO sue for
peace. and the report has appeared reg
uhrly after every English victory of
Importance. The Beers will doubtless
fight to the end. because they under
stand that they can hope for nothing
from England but military occupation
and years of grinding and brutal tyran-
ny. Uuness Roberts meets with more
serious opposition than he has en-
countcrcd lately the final issue is
close at hand. Should the Bce,,s at
tempt to defend Johannesburg they
will only be coopcd UP by part Of tha
English army. while the rest presses on
to Pretoria. All hope of foreign inter
vention is at an end. The Beers can
depend only on themselves. And how
ever heroic they may be. the odds are
too great to permit of but one outcome
they will be crushed by sheer num-
bers. One of the blacklist pages of
Englands history7-and some are smut
ty enough-is about to be written She

THE POLITICAL SITUATION
CHANGING.
Savannah News.l

There has been n change in the poll
teal situation within the last few
months. At the beginning of this year
the Republicans were so confident that
they would elect the next President
that they would not admit that there
was n doubt about ii. on the other
hand The Democrats. while hopeful
were far from being satisfied with
their prospects.
a change has taken plnce-a change
which even the most PARTISAN Reoubli-
cans recognize. The Republicans are
not now saying that they Will win n
easy victory. On the. contrary. they are
admitting that their party will have to
do n great deal of hard and intelligent
work 10 retain control of the govern
ment. The talk OF the Democratic lead
ers is encouraging. 1t is more than
that; 1t is confident. They now believe
