How To Live A Century.

DIR PEARsONs, PHILANTHRoPIsT, ON THE
 SECRET OF LONGEVITY.-HE IS NOW 80
 YEARS OLD AND HOPES TO SEE AT
 LEAST 20 MORE YEARs.-GOOD AIR, A
 VEGETABLE DIET, REGULARITY, AB-
 .sENCE OF WORRY AND GENEROSITY AS
 HELPS.
 Dr D. K. Pearsons, who delights In signing $50, ,000 checks as gifts to strug. gling western colleges, ate dinner at l o'clock yesterday afternoon in his Hins- dale home. Then he took nap. When he woke up he said he felt sbright as 8 button". and told the way to live to be 100 years old. And he was one day near CT to his S0th birthday.
 However, he proposes to go on with his maps and his plan of eating until he goes to the grave, and he says he doesn't want to until he's 100 years old. He isn't going to march in the Dewey pa- rade or serve on the reception committee. Neither is he going to deliver any more baccalaureate sermons. But he walks from the train to his Chicago office every morning, figures on some more colleges that want money and walks from the train to his home every afternoon. And he says he's going to keep cool, give away the rest of his money and be happy.''
 Most men dig their graves with theii teeth,n he said. My stomach is nay friend and Fun happier than any othe, man on earth. Old age depends upoI heredity, common sense and gooe stomach. There are lot of fellow down town who tell me they want to livt

baby. At six o'clock in the morning I l wake ard jump out of bed. I don't drink tea or coffee. They excite the heart. Mrs Pesrsons and I eat practi- cally DO meat at slI. A vegetable and fruit diet will help mSn to remain young. It's better than the fountain of life or the medicinal bs'h,. No pies UT cakes-except for company. The ser wants have meat and sweets, but none for me-"
 "I walk to the train in the morning and over to the office at the corner of Dearborn and Madison streets, and I'm going to walk ss long ss can. But not in stormy weather any more. When get to the office I spend several hours st business. What doing? Listening to beggars. These college presidents who are looking for money. My mail takes an hour, and I leave good deal of it for my clerk to sift, too. Going out at night have ceased entirely. On, once in 8 very great while I break the rule. I went over to the concert of the Belott musical clubs the other evening. But you know. the Belott boys and I are great friends.
 "There's lot ia this keeping cool hab- it for men wso want to live hundred years. It's the worst thing in the world to get angry or cross. I cured man of that and thousand imaginary ills once down in St Augustine, Fla. My wife and were there for several weeks, and at the table she called me doctor. Across from us man had seats with his wife and daughters fine looking girl. At meal time he used to come in with 8 shawl around his shoulders, walking as If he were as old as Methuselah. l "He snarled at his wife, found fault with the food and made life miserable for every one around. One day his daughter heard me called doctor and asked me if wouldn't see if couldn't help her father. I took him out on the veranda, listened to him for half an hour, and said: You're simply damphool and you are destroying the happiness of 8 deserving family I ate early the next morning and got away before he came down. They told me afterward he came in briskly without the shawl, spoke cheerfully to those near him, smiled at the waiter and searched for me to say that he guessed was right. Don't fret and worry your life away. It don't do any good unless you ara in hurry to die.'
 Referring again to the clock work part of the one hundred year plan, he gave the following as the way his private clock marks of the day:

Up5ey the D,rscfien Of Or. D. m. NorihiBgs0D, Graduate
of fhs S. s. sun College OF 0ste2psfhy.

Where hundreds upon hundreds of grateful persons testify to restored
health and happiness through the wonderful healing powers Q us
marvellous 10th century science.
Osteopathy recognizes in mar a most perfect and intricate, ana to
q certain extent, seltrecrperating machines, which with every part o.
organ in its proper position and relation with every other part VIII u
smoothly and perfectly. All recognizethese conditions In the innnltey
less complex time-piece, driven by a spring of human make. Why do
q not see them also in the human body, different only in that ii is
driven by the God-given spring, or force, called life. The system OF
organization connected with the human frame is the most admirable
niece of mechanism which the mind can contemplate,-whethe we
consider the Immense number and variety of its parts-the numerous
functions they perform-the amazing force exerted by the heart and
muscIes-the processes of digestion and resprauon-the system OF
veins and arteries-the articulation Of the bones-the structure and
course of the lymphatics-the ramifcations of the nerves-the circula-
ton Of the blood-the wonderful changes, dissoludons and combina-
ing these purposes-or the HARMONIOUS correspondence of all its parts
and functions with the agencies or the surrounding elements.
With the proper understanding and application of the above laws
both acute and chronic, yield readily under osteopathic treatment.
While Osteopaths are proud of their theory, nothing succeeds
like success, /" it til with % ecial pride that they point to their incon-
trovertbIe results. When il It's remembered thata vast majorny ofcases
that come to us have been pronounced incurable by physicians who
have attended them, iti Is truly remarkable what a large percent of
them are entirely cured and how many others are materially benefited,
its apparent marvellous cures are accomplished through purely scien-
tic methods, based upon a profound knowledge of the human mocha
nism. Bronchitis, tumors, female diseases, nervousness, paralysis in
its different forms, diseases of the eye, ear, heart, liver, stomach and
bowel trouble, neuralgia and rheumatism, headaches and dizziness are
among the diseases conquered by the Osteopathic treatment. For the
next 20 Days 4 will make Examinations Free. 17d6-9wl

To tell in song and story,
OF deeds they wrought and battles
fought,
In honor Of sold Glory."

STRIKE IS QUIET.
Miners and Operators Preparing
for Test of Strength.

By scripps-McRae Press Association
Hazelton, Pa, Sept. 2S.-Perfect
quiet prevails in this region this
morning. The statement that thu
soldiers would soon be here bad thu
effect of stopping the marching OF
p%arading strikers. 1t is thought thu
operators win concentrate their eff
forts in this county giving Coke
MarkIe and Pardee all possible sup.
port. The Markle mines closed to-
day. A meeting will be held both BY
employees and union miners. Marklt
will probably reopen in a day ortwo
but the miners say the mines will be
kept closed now.
Wilkesbarra, Pa, Sept. 26 Til,
leaders of the miners union in this
vicinity are endeavoring to-day to
enlist the active aid of the Lehigr
Valley and Central Pennsylvania
trainmen to prevent the coming in OF
soft coal. The railroad men are to
have a big meeting in a couple OF
days to discuss the question.
Favorable to the strikers.
Shenandoah, Pa, Sept. zG.-The few
developments in the strike situation
since Monday were favorable to the
strikers. Three additional collieries
were closed Tuesday in this region
because the number of men who re-
ported for duty was not sufficient to
operate them. They are the Park
Place, Preston No. 3, and Lawrence
collieries. The Park Place workings
were in operation for a short time
Tuesday, but could not continue with
the small force. In this city but one
colliery is working. That is the Cam
bridge, which, according to j. C. Nc
Ginnis, of the Cambridge Coal COM
pany, has its full complement of men.
Other collieries in the region still in
operation are the Bast, at Ashland;
Potts, atLocustdale; Locust Spring, at
Locust Gap, and the North Franklin,
at Treverton. The Bast colliery is
said to be short handed.
Troops Help Strikers.
Shenandoah, Pa, Sept. 26.-organ-
izer George Harris. of the United

the following statement:
of the 5000 mine worker in the Ninth

fully 1900 are now idle. and by Thursday
evening we feel Justified in saying the

We regret very much that the county
