PART OF LIFE LOST IN SLEEP.

'I read the estimate prepared re- gently by the British government with reference to the longevity among men in the army" said a gentleman yesterday, who is fond of mathemat- ics, to q New Orleans Times Demo- crat reporter, "and I do not care how much men may figure on the length ening of life's average, the fact is, a fellow doesn't live so long after ull. Life is indeed short when we come to think of it. It is indeed a fitful fever to borrow the simile of poet, and the distance between the cradle and the tomb is as the span of ones hand. How much of mans life Is devoted to the actual work of accomplishing whatever his highest aim may be? Did you ever think about figuring on this problem. I have, because I guess, I happen to have penchant for mathematics. Of course a fellow does nothing until after his 21st birin- day. He must attain his majority before he enters upon the serious du-. ties of life. Before this time he IS passing the preparatory stages of life, and, theoretically, is equipping himself for the serious battles. Fifty years is the life of the average man, although life's general average figures down to point much below this.
 "Give the average man 30 years be- yond the period when he becomes of age, suppose the average man will sleep at least six hours out of every 24. I guess it would be safe to as- sume, even in this rushing age, that the average man will spend one hour and thirty minutes eating, allowing for the time it takes him to go to and h ic Vlln0 01C r1R i'm anfr an, tha table. We might safely figure that he spends an average of one hour and thirty minutes out of every twenty four in other minor ways, in exchang- ing pleasantries with his friends and chatting on topics unrelated to his business. in winding his watch, and in other indulgenceS of an innocent and harmless kind. This would make a total of nine hours out of every tweIl- ty-four that a man spends in doing things that are unrelated in a strict sense. to his business. This amounts to three-eighths or nearly one-half of the life that is before him. It would leave him about eleven hours out of every twenty-four to devote to the chief aim of his life. He has thirty years in which to do the work He would devote eleven years and three months to sleep and to other things, as indicated. and would have nineteen wears and nine months in which to ,lo his little do. Twenty years looks like a good bit of time. but when we come to this fearful thing Of living for a purpose, expecting to endear ourselves to our countrymen and to accumulate a little money besides. the time does not seem so long. The time is really much shorter than this when We allow for Sundays and social gatherings and prayer meetings and things of that sort: but as these functions do not fig ure in every mans life have left them out"

Freaks of the Earth.

The residents of East Grinstead, an English village, are the latest per- sons who have been alarmed by the disappearance of a local stream. There is nothing unprecedented in such an event. It was only last year that Sven Hedin, the Swedish ex- plorer, reported the disappearance of lake which has long been known as Lob-Nor, and one of the islands of the Tonga group in the South sea disap- rears periodically Switzerland has even now moving mountain which threatens to wipe out several towns; and it is recorded that in 1896 a por- tion of the Ronberg, near Lucerne, rolled down into Lake Lowertz, creat- ing an immense wave which swept away several hamlets, drowned every living creature on the island of Schwanau, and carried little wood- en chapel over mile.--London Mail.

WATERBURY ELKs' CARNIVAL
The Ball Was Well Started Last night

 at the First Committee Meeting.
 The recent committee appointed ny Exalter Ruler F. J. Lawlor to make arrangements for big bazaar to be given by the Waterbury lodge of Elks, held the first meeting last night, and the enthusiasm created was beyond the expectations of even the exalted ruler himself. Subcommittee were appointed to perform various portions of the big task ahead of the lodge, and each committee is at work this nufn- ing hustling to make the fair sue
 cess. Jacques auditorium has been en- gagged for the bazaar ana 1t will open on Monday evening, November Il, and will continue for seven nights. The opening night will be one long to be remembered as the whole town will be on edge at the celebration that is mapped out. Just now it is impossible to announce definitely the plans for each evening, but that they will be on an elaborate scale will be admitted when they are disclosed. Five hum dred dollars i'll cash will be given away and there will be other large prizes that will attract attention. A trotting horse will be one of the big plums to be drawn from the lucky box. and it is safe to wager that at least $2,000 will be distributed in money and prizes at the bazaar. The com mittee has been told to spare no ex- pense to make the carnival one that will be remembered in years to come.

POLICE COURT DoINGS,
Boy Charged With Truancy Given a
 Warning This Morning.

The trouble with George Calligan, bookkeeper, who has been kept i'll the path of righteousness and sobriety by the good people of St Johns church for some time, is his appetite for strong drink and his capacity for the same. They are not in proportion, the capaci- ty being smaller than the appetite Consequently since Friday last he nas been arrested three times for intoxica- ton. Friday night friend paid B for him and procured his release from the police station. Saturday morning Judge Burpee let him go, but this morning, though Prosecutor Durant thought fine would suffice to straight en him out, process peculiar to in- voluntary confinement after a spree, Judge Peasley concluded that thirty days in jail was better.

TREATY POINTS.
England Thinks She Has Won

London, Nov. 16.--The New York
correspondent Of the Manchester Guar
dian learns that Lord Julian Paunce-
fote, British ambassador to the United
States. has cablea the final text oil
the Nicaraguan canal treaty. Neu-
trality in peace and war Is guaranteed
by the United States. There shall be
no discriminating tolls against En-
glish shipping. The opinion was pre-
viously expressed here that England
would feel she had gained an essentia,
point IL the canal were open in both

The suggestion OF Major Charles f,
Miller, former president of the Canton
board of trade, for a public holiday
when the new factories are opened in
Canton, is one which is taking root.
Nothing could be done that would bet
ter show the appreciation Of the peopla
for the new men and new money that
have come to the city, and nothing
would serve better to advertise the
city. Other cities would make note OF
the demonstration, newspapers every
where would handle it and Canton
would get such an advertisement in
dustrially as she is really in need If.
Canton has been much advertised, but
not always to the industrial world.
Mr.. Miller's suggestion ought to be
adopted. The people ought to be given
an opportunity to visit these plants and
to incidentally learn just what they
have secured. 1t will be an incentive
to further effort and may serve to
demonstrate to some people who 10
not quite realize the proportions Of the
boom, that in their interest they
ought to make Investments in houses
and other accommodations, that the
people who come may be contented and
we'll cared for, and may send word
back to their friends that this city is
one of the very best industrially, so
cially and in accommodation AMI
pleasant environment in the United
States.

Washington, Nov. 16.--Commissloner
OF immigration Powderly makes public
his annual report today. He says the
time has come when congress must
enact suitable laws to check and regu-
late the assimilation Of aliens. He
says at present we can exclude Chi
nese and paupers, but there is no war
rant in law for the exclusion of anarch-
lists, polygamists in doctrine or other
enemies of social and political order.
He would also exclude all emigrating
prostitutes. immigration for 1901 was
$4,000 against 448,000 in 1900. Most
startling was the showing of Italian
immigration. Thirty-six per cent more
came from Italy this year than last
Increases from all other European
countries are only one-fourth those
from Italy alone.

ARCHER STOCK
10 Going Up and He :s Said to
Be Far In the lead--The
SpeakovsiIip.
From a STAFF Correspondent.

From Stan Correspondent.
Columbus, Nov. 18.-The stock of
Senator Archer, of Bellaire, for presi-
dent pro tenn. of the senate, is soaring
high. The trend Of sentiment during
the past few days has been in his d.
rection, and at present he seems to be
thu leading candidate for the place he
aspires to attain. Senator Patterson,
OF Jackson, is still making q fight
for the honor, but Archer, IL is
claimed, has Foraker's endorsement,
which gives him decided advantage
over the other candidates. Represen-
tatlve A. Il. Price, OF Athens. many
contend, is the strongest candidate for
speaker of the house. Harvey Speel-
man, of Marietta, for clerk of the
house. and Sheriff f. e. Scobie. for
clerk of the senate, a local political
writer insists, will win. Senator w.
G. Harding, of Marion, will probably
present the name of Foraker to the
Republican senatorial caucus for the
United States senate. He is an elo-
quent speaker, and his selection for
the duty mentioned would be pleasing
to Ohio's senior senator.

The Canton News-Democrat, in re-
ferring to the annexation of territory
to Youngstown, declares that this city
is trying to come the Akron dodge in
order to increase its population. AS
Youngstown Is already so far ahead
of both Canton and Akron in the mat
ter OF population 1t is not necessary
to resort to the methods of either town
to swell the enumeration. There Is a
steady growth of population in the
city, but when neighbors are knocking
q. its door Youngstown can't pull the
latchstring in and refuse admission.
What territory rightfully belongs with
in the city limits will be welcomed by
way of acknowledgements Vim
dicator.
Canton, however, instead of going
out into the country and bringing a
little town in, is building one solid
city out of that town. When we have
. public holiday, as suggested by ex-
President Charles r. Miller, of the
Canton board of trade, to welcome our
new industries and the thousands OF
people they will bring, Youngstown
viii at once get ready to run in an
other town, while Akron. well Akron

entirely alone, may indulge in these

General Charles Dick, whose guber-
Material boom is to be officially launch
ed at Youngstown next Tuesday night
by Hanna and Foraker, has issued a
letter to the Republican press of Ohio,
in which he tells the various editors
what they did for Republican success
this fall. The letters are SO wordcd
that each fellow that gets one, il lie
isn't wise, thinks the letter was written
to him personally. and that he was the
only fellow that got one, in THE whole
state. The Salem News prints this let
ter in its editorial columns, and takes
to itself great unction as the savior Of
the party in the recent somewhat
doubtful conflict. Other paper s
throughout the state got the same let
ter, and it has been printed at least
fifteen times, in various papers that
were gullible enough to bite. Mean
while the brave general smiles at the
free advertising he is getting.

A divorce petition, involving promi-
rent Canton citizens, has been filed in
common pleas court. The plaintiff in
the action is Edith H. Snyder, and the
defendant is Thomas c. Snyder. The
family has been one of the most prom
inent in Canton for number of years,
the defendant having been state SEN
ator from this district some years ago.
Later he was president of the Canton
Steel Roofing company, parent Of
the parent of the industries of that
character in this city, which is now
foremost in such manufacture in the
world. He was later connected with
ether establishments, notably promi-
nent brick making concern, and last
spring was elected justice of the peace
He has been in failing health since
that time, and was not able to as
sumo the duties of his Office for some
months after his election. The parties
to the action have maintained fine
home in North Cleveland avenue for
many years and their place in society
has been secure, the home being one
OF the most pleasant and hospitable
In the city.
Mrs. Snyder, in her petition, states
that she and the defendant were mar
ried In June, 1886, at Wapakoneta;
Ohio, and that two children have been
born of the union, Thomas Clifford
Snyder, aged IA years and Lucille Hol-
brook Snyder, aged 10 years. The Pc
