which meets in Memphis in the closing
days of May promises to be the most
successful gathering in the history of
the Confederate organization. The
railroads entering Memphis are alive
to the situation and have promised to
do everything possible looking toward
the comfort and pleasure of the old
soldiers and their friends. Every
courtesy will be extended the local
committees in meeting incoming trains
so that the thousands of strangers
may be taken in hand and assigned to
their quarters. A special rate of one
cent a mile has been recommended by
the general passenger agents Of all
lines interested and it is certain that
the joint passenger association will
authorize the rate.
Fifty thousand dollars will be raised
by the citizens Of Memphis so that all
visitors may be assured of good time.
All of the subscriptions so far have
been voluntary and one Of the most
notable was that Of Robert R. Church,
a representative negro citizen, who
contributed check for 81 900. Church
was born a slave in Mississippi, and
after the war removed to Memphis
where he has since lived. He Is good
business man and citizen and numbers

NUMBER OF C~ENTENARIANS

II has been claimed that illit-
eracy and poverty produces the
greater number OF ceutenarians,
and a variety of statistics have
been produced to fortify this pc.
sition. In Servis, for example,
where poverty and illiteracy
both are predominant there are
1875 centenarisns out Of a populaa
ton Of $500, 900; in Germany on
the other hand, out Of IS 900, 900
there are but 70. In Ireland there
are 578; in England there are
less than so.
DIR. Walsh, a member of a club
organized in New York to inves.
tigate centenarianism, shows
that the strenuous life is the OBJ
stacle in the way of prolonged
life. In Servia and Ireland the
strenuous life is almost unknown
The indolent life long. even if
they live in almshouses, and
most Of the Irish centenarians
are in such houses. Servia is one
big almshouse.
As enterprise is bat another
name for education and comfort,
the two doctrines may be said to
be alike. Long life is reserved
for the INDECENT and unenterpris-
ing, and short life for those who
strive all their days, if the statis-
tics are trustworthy.
But there's the rub. Are the
statistics from Servia and Ire
land trustworthy? Professor
Owen says they r not. He says
that his Investigations go to
show that there are very few
centenarians who can produce
evidence Of their age. AS a rule
paupers and the illiterate either
do not know their age or else
they knowingly misrepresent
facts within their knowledge.
The educated have birth records
and the illiterate haYe none. The
latter gives the census taker fc.
ton, and there is no way, no dea
sire, to disprove it. Professor
Owen goes on to say that no one
lives to be 10 years old, and very
few become centenarians. He re.
CARDS 103 years and a few
months as the greatest proven
age eyer reached by a human be.
