Statement as to the Situation In That Wis
consin Town.
Washburn, Wis, Nov. 24.-All sorts
of wild rumors have gained currency
throughout the neighboring towns and
cities regarding the great siege Of
smallpox that Washburn is having. AS
is usual in such cases the rumOrs have
increased in size as they get farther
from the seat of the trouble. In view
of these facts it is deemed wise to give
the public an accurate statement of
the conditions and to state that the
scare is almost entirely outside OF the
city.
The following is an accurate state
ment, as taken from the official rec

here today: In pesthouse, 2; Legacy's

OF these patients are cOnvaleScent and
the disease has not spread in the past
few days. The largest number Of cases
has been twenty-sevem, which was
when it took a fresh start last week.
There has not been single death
from the disease and it has been of a
very mild type. The board Of health
has temporarily closed the schools and
churches and prohiISed all public meet

He was born in London, May IS,

United States Judge Says Congress Ex-

Indianapolis, Nov. 26.-Judge Bak-

a ruling which in effect declares in
valid a portion of the war tax law.
1t was in the case of Mary E. Order
against William Barnard, administra-
tor of the estate Of Noble Warrum.
Ferdinand Winter, an attorney for the
defense, offered in evidence certfi-
cate of guardianship Of w. Scott En-
glish, one Of the witnesses to the note
which Mary e. Crider alleges was
made to her by Noble Warrum. At
tOrneys for Mrs. Order objected to the
introduction of the certificate on the
ground that it had no revenue stamp
attached. The objection was over
ruled by Judge Baker on the ground
that congress has no right to put a tax
on judicial proceedings between the
several states.
Attorneys that were in the federal
building We're much interested in the
ruling by Judge Baker and with few
exceptions expressed their approval.

tions as certainly forshadowing the election of Iincoln. Again in 1864 it predicted the popular and electoral vote by which Lincoln defeated Mcclellan. In 1868 and again in 1872 1t gave correctly a week in advance of the election what would be Grants lead over his two competitors In 1880 it forshadowed Hancock's certain de. feat, and in 1888 it predicted with unerring accuracy the electoral vote by which Harrison was elected, as 1t did also Cleveland's election over Harrison in 1892 In 1896 it forshadowed McKinley's election with the same wonderful accuracy, and has done so again in 1900.
 The only two occasions in which the Herald went wrong in its pre- dictions were in 1876. when it lre- dicted Tilden's election, and in 1884 when it cast the horoscope as favorable to Blaine. But in those instances the Herald could not fore see the Electoral Commission of 1877, nor that in 1884 votes cast for Butler in New York would be counted for Cleveland, giving him the electoral vote of that state and the election. Upon everything else except the states whose electoral votes were determined by the kle, toral Commission in 1876, and the stolen vote of New York in 1884 the Herald was close in its predictions. In this work the Her aid has been always pre-eminent, and its successful prognostications are among the great feats of jour- nalism.

PRE ELECTION PROPHECY.

During forty years that the writer recollects the New York Herald has correctly and accurately forecast the presidential elections. Generally about a week before election the Herald presents its forecast, giving what will be the result, the electoral votes each ticket will get and the probable majorities in each and every state, This forecast is always prepared from a very careful canvass made by paid agents of the Herald upon a given day, and has been always -(with two exceptions) remarkably accurate. The first time the writer recalls this speciality of the Herald was in 1860, when it fore told the election of Lincoln, giving a week in advance the electoral and popular vote the various candi- dates would receive with an accur- acy which the result showed to be truely prophetic. Nor did the Her aid prophecy that way because it wanted that result. It was a strong supporter of the candidacy for the presidency of Stephen A. Douglas. But it presented the public the result of its investiga-

Longevity of Various Races.
From the London Globe.


1t has often been remarked that while
nothing is 50 uncertain as the duration of
any given human life, nothing is more GER
tain than the aggregate of years which
may be assigned to a group Of one hundred
persons or more at any particular age
The expectation Of life at a given age. to
use the actuarial phrase, differs consider
ably, as might be expected, in different
countries, and Engiishmen may be sur
prised to learn that they are not the long
est living among the white races At the
age of twenty an Englishman in average
health may expect to live forty-tWo years
and any life office will grant him policy
based on that probability. The Americans
expectation is for a slightly longer period
On the other hand, German lad of twen-
ty can count upon little more than thirty
therefore, that the restlessness attributed
t. the American temperament does not
necessarily conduce to the shortening Of
life, nor the composure Of the German to
it's prolongation. Possibly the better feed
ing and clothing Of Americans in the lower
classes of the population Is the principal
cause of their greater longevity. Their DO
sition Is, at any rate maintained in later
as we'll as in earlier years. The American
who has reached sixty may look to complete
fourteen years more, while the Britisher's
expectation is only about thirteen years
and ten months, and the Germans as near
ly as possible twelve months less. Both at
twenty and at sixty the Frenchman's pros
pect is little better than the Germans
ana little worse than the Englishmans.
