THE OLDEST INHABITANT.
How He Was Found and What He
 Said-The Great Grandson.

| How He Was Found and What He Said-The Great Grandson.
 The article which appeared in these columns a few days ago on the subject of old age proves to be one of those ar- ticles which one would rather have
 left unwritten. It is, of course, flat tering to the vanity of a writer who
 sometimes becomes Respondent about
 the mission of journalism to find that
 his simple words do stir unsuspected
 depths of feeling in his readers, but a
 busy man has limitations as to the
 number of letters which he likes to attend to
 The article in question presented discussion, based on letters recently received from readers, of the means of securing length of days. But these letters were as the first snow squall to an avalanche compared with those which have since arrived. The dis cussion, however, has now taken new turn. The realm of physiology has been deserted for that of pure philo- sophy, and most of the writers, in stead of asking or offering suggestions for keeping themselves or others alive either require or volunteer opinions as to whether old age is desirable.
 The member of the staff who answers all the questions made it 2 point, the other day to call on the oldest inhab- itant and to ask for his views on this subject. The oldest inhabitant lives in the borough of the Bronx. and his home is hard to reach and hard to get back from The way to find the place is to go to the borough of the Bronx and ask the way of everybody you meet. By following all the directions received the place is finally reached by sort of spiral course. The way back is to go straight in any direction till you come to any railway, follow the rail- way in either direction to the nearest station, and take the first train for

 RODE A. STEER IN STAMPEDE.

For nearly an hour James Evans, a
 cowboy, in the Four Peaks County,
 Ariz., submitted to an experience which
 has come to few men. Evans holds the steer-lying championship of the north
 eastern part of the Territory. He won
 his spurs by roping, throwing and
 tying vicious steer in twenty-four sec-
 onds, the worlds record, two years ago.
 He was in charge of a roundup, and
 with five other cowhands was putting fifteen hundred cattle into Sunfiower Valley. While camped for the night, on high mesa, ending abruptly with a drop of two hundred feet, less than eleven miles to the south, storm swept through the mountains, The herd be- came nervous at the display of light ming and started on a stampede, head ed for the south. Evans and his men mounted hurriedly. and circling to the front of the maddened cattle tried to turn them to the east and swing them back into place. Evans headed his men and with whoops and revolver shots vainly tried to stop or turn the swiftly rushing hoofs and horns. In the dense black of the night Evans horse lost his footing and went down in heap, one front leg in a gopher hole The horse of Shorty Davis close behind, stunl- bled over Evans horse, and Davis came to earth and lay still, unconscious. His horse was up and off in moment, and Evans horse was useless with broken leg.
 Fifty yards away came the herd, and short flash of lightning showed Evans the futiity of attempted escape by either side. The swiftly moving see of steerflesh reached one hundred yards each way, Unable to arouse Davis, and never thinking of leaving his disabled comrade, Evans took the only chance of saving them both. His revolver and that of Davis he emptied into the cen- ter of the herd, cutting breach in the front of the mass Then throwing the inanimate form of Davis over his shoul- der he awaited his opportunity. As one of the leaders brushed by Evans leaped alongside. With one movement he put the body of Davis across the broad shoulders of the steer and mounted also Vainly the frantic animal leaped, buck ed and side jumped With his legs wrapped tightly around the body of his bolting, backing mount, Evans drove his spurs deep in and held himself and Davis in place. With his double load the steer, wild with rage, agony and fright rapidly left the herd in the rear, and veering slowly to the right in a furious gallop carried his riders out of the path of the herd. Out of danger Evans, totally exhausted, rolled off the hac1 If his St raupn resoIlar and s half hour later. when his cowboys turned the herd at the canyons rim and rode back to look for the foreman and Da- vis they found the two both uncon- scious.

THE PERILS OF PHILANTHROPHY

THE PERILS OF PHTLANTHROPHY
 The cynic who wanted some one to write book about the crimes of philan- thropy spoiled his epgram by using the wrong word. A most interesting book about the mistakes of philanthropy
 might easily be written. A story is told
 of a man in straitened circumstances
 who had distinguished himself not merely by his generous benefa ctions, involving much self-denial, but by his personal service in behalf of the poor. In reason and out of season he worked for others, trying so far as he could to bring little comfort and happiness to the downtrodden and afflicted More over, he had formulated certain we'll de- fined views as to tine great possibilities of good open to men of large wealth
 With unlimited means at his disposal, he declared, he could be of incalculabIe service to a large segment of the sub- merged tenth. That of. itself would be a great thing, but an even greater re- would follow his example, until finally poverty and suffering would disappear Such was his theory, worked out of the experiences of his own self denying ser vice for his fellow men, and so consist ent did it seem to be with the facts that no flaw could be discovered in it. The world WAS simply waiting to be re-

From early morn until closing time the store was crowded to its utmost capacity, while between the hours of eight and ten in the evening the crowd was so great and eager to buy that the co1npanys large corps of clekrs was kept as busy as bees at tending to them all.

Department Orders Its Agents to In.
vestigate Scaling of Logs.
Washington, May I5.-Complaints
continue to come to the officials of the
interior department in regard to the
timber cutting on the Chippewa reser-
vations of Minnesota. The Indians
are finding fault with the scaling of
the logs cut under the dead-and-down
timber operations. The Indian office
has ordered Special Agent Farr to pro-
ceed to White Earth and to inquire
into the scaling of certain logs which
have already been placed in the water.
No information has yet come to the
department in regard to the cutting
of green timber, and the full report by
Agent Mercer is awaited with special
interest. The department officials as
sert their belief that while in many
cases more green timber was cut than
was necessary In connection with the
operations, including the road-making
and incidental uses for timber, that in
all cases Is there doubt that Indians
have profited more by the prices re-
ceived for such green timber thus H.
legally cut than would be the case If
the timber were cut under the author.

er notable persons. After reviewing
the parade from stand on Van Ness
avenue the president was driven to the
Scott residence, over which the pres
idential flag will fly while it remains
his temporary home. In the evening
he passed through the Illuminated
streets of the city to the Union ferry
depot in the grand nave of which he
held a pub blic reception. It is estimat-
ed that at least half a million people
gathered on the street to welcome the
president to the coast metropolis, as
every city in the state sent people
here by every train and boat.
Much sympathy is expressed ev-
erywhere for Mrs. Mckinley and the
desire is universal that her health may
improve so that she will be able to at
tend some of the social functions
which have been arranged in her
honor. IT..
If the programme prepared by the
citizens committee is carried out, Mr..
Mckinley will have scarcely a mo-
ment of rest during the week of his
sojourn in this city.

Believed the Machinists' Strike Wilt
Be of Short Duration.
Washington, May 15.-President
O'Connell of the International Asso-
citation of Machinists, President Com
pers of the American Federation of
Labor and the officials of five allied
metal workers. trades were in confer
ence during the day, determining the
policy to be pursued in the machinists'
strike ordered to take effect on May
20. An address will be issued later,
outlining the exact course to be fol-
lowed. Mr.. O'Connell said:
There may be strike of a few
days duration, but don't look for
ward to any protracted conflict. Many
firms in New York, Chicago, Indian
apolis and elsewhere have just signed
agreements granting our requests. A
telegram from New Orleans says that
IL firms have signed there. Every
firm in Omaha has signed.
"Indications are that by May 20 at
least Is per cent of the employers of
the country will have acquiesced. The
National Metal Trades association
comprises about Is per cent Of the
machinist employers of the country.
While the employers association
doubtless will live up to their agree
ment requiring a 9-hour day, we have
a dispute with them now regarding
wages. One Of our agreements with
them is that all disputes shall be set
tied by arbitration. but the associa-
ton of employers is contending that
that matter shall be arbitrated with
each individual firm while the men
want the matter arbitrated nationally.
Therefore the general order for g.
hour day was issued and also the call
for an increase of 12 IL per cent in
wages. That order applies to the en-
ployers' association as we'll as to the
shops outside of the association. We
have the pledged support Of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, both moral
and financial"

San Francisco, May 15.-Both Presi.
dent and Mrs. Mckinley had a restful
night and Mrs. Mckinley is steadily
improving. The president is, however.
feeling the strain and with'a busy day
before him, decided not to go to Stan
ford university.
If Mrs. Mckinley continues to i'm
prove the president will continue his
trip to the Northwest. If, however,
she does not rally sufficiently the
Northwest trip will be abandoned and
the president will take her direct to
Washington.
Secretary Cortelyou has issued the
following bulletin:
"The doctors, after their morning
consultation, find that Mrs. Mckinley
has lost nothing, but has gained a lit
tie by the nights rest.

Berlin, May 15.-Government cir

owing to the diversities of race and
commercial interests.
The representative Of the Associat.

and Frank H. Mason, the United
States consul general here, in regard
to the matter. They both said they

to-. They regarded the matter as
chimerical and did not believe there
were any two nations in favor of such
a league.
