RULES FOR LONG LIFE.
Air, Morality, Temperance and Exer-
else Make Centenarians.
From tho pbiIa Jnouirar

Air, Morality, Temperance and Exer-
else Make Centenarians.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Let it not be misunderstood by our read
ers, from the above title that ~e are going
to give here a set of rules which, closely
followed, will produce centenarians. We
have such confidence In rules of morals
and hygiene as this would indicate. We
wish merely to call attention to the fact
that chief officer of one of the largest
life insurance companies In the country
has been sstudyng this subject and has de-
duced certain rules of conduct from his ex-
perience in a business which prospers more
according as men live beyond the allotted
span and less as they die before they have
reached 1t.
This statistician does not seem to be en-
timely sure of his ground, because he has
found some remarkable exceptions. Thus,
he holds that temperance in the use or al
coholic stimuants is one of the first princi-
plies in long life, as shown from thousands
Of cases, although ne admits that there
have been centenarians who have abused
themselves about as much as was possible
He finds, on the other hand. that the great
mass Of liquor drinkers die before their
time Then he makes this statement: In
temperance ih eating is probably far more
fatal to long life than any other factor,
since idleness and immortality most often
go with gluttony." And elsewhere, Moral
ity and industry must be accepted as essen
tials making for long existence The
Jews and Quakers are cited as example or
his theories. Hard physical work, even
when prolonged to an advanced age, is said
not to be disadvantageous if habits are
good, while those who make the accumula-
tion of wealth their chief object are de-
clared to live much shorter lives than the
average This will be some consolation to
those who have not been able to amass a
fortune.
Those who live longest are declared to be
clergymen, gardeners, farmers, teachers
artists, engravers, sculptors and archi-
tects Those who In all but hazardous oc-
cupations are short lived are: merchants,
brokers and traders, and others engaged In
getting rich. 1t must be said, however,
that he allows SO many exceptions that II
is hard to make rule in any one Of his
divisions and apparently at the last 1t all
depends on the individual. One good point
he makes and that is that cheerfulness
adds to life and that one can so control
himself as to drive despair away.
His statistics are meager, being largely
confined to the state of massachusetts, and
this because that state has kept them up
for a longer period than any other, and is
the best for his purpose. He finds In that
state that for every thousand persons born
about one will live to be hundred, where
as fifty years ago there was only one such
chance in two thousand. These and other
statistics which we have before referred
to, show that we live longer than formerly
1t is to be hoped that we are also getting

Delivering Coal in London.

From the Nineteenth ItHluTy.
A proof Of the conservative ways Of the
English people is the manner In which
Goals for the household fires are distrib-
uted and stored. Instead of the American
coal cart, which is loaded in less than five
minutes from an elevated coal bin. the
American visiting London finds an ordi-
nary wagon made to carry about dozen
large bags Of COAL which are filled one by
one at an expense Of much time and labor.
and then lifted into the vehicle like so
many milk cans. When an American coal
cart reaches the house where it's load Is to
be dumped the cart is backed up against
the side of the pavement, THE chute Is
drawn out like the barrel of a telescope
and the end inserted in the coalhole. In a
few minutes the entire load, with the rush
Of water falling over a small cataract,
runs down into heap on the floor Of the
coal cellar. In London, on the other hand,
each bag of coal has to be taken scpa-
rately from the wagon and emptied as
near may be in the coalhole, and when
the task is at last finished the coal which
has fallen on the pavement has to be la
boriously shoveled into the coal cellar.

IRON WITHOUT Pudding.
A New Process Alleged to Have Bee
Discovered.

Uncovered.
From the London Express
Mr.. Enoch Cuttings, jr., of the Wisemore
iron and steel works, WalsaIl, is a scien-
tific enthusiast, who claims to have dis
covered new process whereby iron can be
manufactured without the process of pud-
ding. To a representative Of the Express
he was extremely communicative, although
on the details of the discovery he would
say nothing. He exhibited specimens of
iron. Look at this fracture" said he. "It
is silky, pure and white My iron stands
the greatest combined test in tensile strain,
elongation and reduction Of area Of any
other steel or iron the world over. It is
better than basic, Bessemer or Siemens-
Martin soft steel, or even Swedish Besse-
mer.
''The fiber is clear, close and silk like. It
Is absolutely uniform and of undertaking
accuracy. The metal takes splendid polish,
and for electrical purposes and stamping
cannot be equaled It Yields well, owing
to it's uniform texture. 1t is pure iron, un-
adulterated. My iron is all alive"
Pressed as to the secret of the process he
would only say he had discovered a new
down to the atom. In the atom is generat-
ed electricity, light heat, magnetism, per-
petual motion and force Of nature" and he
said he had applied the new law to iron
making.
1t is to be made 80 per cent less cost
His process. he said. is startling In SIM
plicity, and will be universally adopted
He refused, however, to exhibit the pro-
cess to our representative. although he
willingly displayed his books, which showed
that for months past he had been receiving
EDO ton.
The effect of his discovery on labor, he
says, will be to abolish puddlers, as two
men can do the work of hundred Thou
sands Of pounds worth have been sold In
Birmingham, Walsall and London for use
in the manufacture of cycles, motor cars
and buttons. Fifty tons alone has been
turned into spurs for South Africa Mr.
Cuttings wants a high price for his discov-
cry II must have millions he declared.
"to work out my other Inventions which
include machine forsuperseding the steam
engine and the abolition of COAL and an
effective plan for utilizing the energy OF
tides. In addition he has discovered a new
cure for cancer. but all will be explained
in his book. which is nearly ready for the
press.

A Strike Settlement,
From the London Chronicle.

A dispute was settled at Sunderland re-
Gently in manner probably unique in the
history OF trade unionism. A number of
men were engaged to paint and varnish the
interior of Christ Church. the most fash
eoaable church in Sunderland They de-
cliaed, however, to continue working yes
terday morning because wernea mad been

Buddha in London.
From the London Express.

Some day Buddhists may petition the au-
thorities at South Kensington to hand over
the huge black Buddha in their museum,
so that they may form a London center
for the missionaries who are now being
dispatched all over the world. Already
Buddha has a temple In Liverpool and has
gained over to his way of thinking a peer
of the English realm, in the person of the
Earl of Marlborough.
The Japanese consul informed an Ex-
press representative yesterday that there
were many temples in America besides the
one at San Francisco and the new one at
Sacramento Buddhism Is spreading to a
very great extent" he said. ''Of course.
its progress is siow-only twenty converts
being added to their number during the
last three years. 1t Is plain that the mis-
sion means to stick to it's work, and,
having made firm basis In America and
got one foot into England, I do not see
why in year or two it should not further
extend in Britain and other European
countries besides. There Is no reason why
Buddha should not have his missions as
we'll as other religionA"

Corcoran Cadets at Buffalo.

The visit of Co. A, I'd Battalion-the Cor

exposition at Buffalo was a marked sue
cess In every way. Captain Edwards COM
pany, by request, gave an exhibition drill
on the esplanade, Labor day, before
throng that numbered 100000 persons, it is
declared In view of the lack of prepara-
ton, the drilling was considered excellent
The members of the command were attired
In their distinctive full dress uniforms con-
sisting of white coats, dark blue trousers
with white stripes, blue helmets with white
plumes, and patent leather belts, all trim
mings being of gold The company carried
the beautiful stand of colors presented by
its lady friends last winter In conjunction
with detachment of the United States
Marine Corps. commanded by Captain
Harry Leonard of this city, the Corcoran
Cadet Corps went through the ceremony of
dress parade the afternoon of Tuesday,
September 3. Music was furnished by the
Marine Band. Captain Edwards is loud in
his praise of the detachment under the
command of Captain Leonard at the ex-
position. The drilling of the marines is
said to be well nigh perfect.
General Harries visited the Corcorans
while they were In camp at the exposition
and expressed himself being very much
pleased with the showing made by the
military representatives of the District Ma
tional Guard. The company served as cs-
cort for the Commissioners District day
and participated in the ceremonies of that
occasion. Captain Edwards received the
thanks of Commissioner Macfarland. The
boys of the Corcorans now treasure very
dearly the memory of a pleasant smile and
wave of the hand received from the late
President Mckinley the day before the
latter was shot.
Regular assemblies of Company A, I'd
Battalion, will be resumed next Monday
evening. The company will have basket
ball and indoor base ball teams in the field

ADDITIONAL MAIL SERVICE.
Morning Train to Do Local Work to Danvii!e
Improvement ju Postolfice

Postmaster Knight has been giving
time and thought of late, not SO much
to the question OF his reappontment in
the spring, but to the improving and facil-
itating the mail service between the city
and the more prominent cities of the
state BY November 1st there Will go into
effect an improved service between. Rich
mond and Danville and Richmond and
Newport News.
Local service between here and Danville
by a through train leaving here about 8
O'clock will be inaugura.ed on the 1st,
which will greatly facilitate the delivery
of Richmond mail in that section. At
present the train leaving here about .
o'clock does local work only as far as
Keysviile. There the mail is held await
ing the regular train. leaving here at
noon, before being distributed between
Keysville and Danvile. This change will
be q great advantage to the morning
newspapers of the city.
Additional mail service between here
and Newport News will go into effect
tomorrow, giving four deliveries of
Richmond mail per day in that city in
place of three, which the existing SER
vica affords
Three of these deliveries go over the
Chesapeake and Ohio route and one by
way Of the Norfolk and Western.

THE ENGLISH SITUATION.
The Imperial Tobacco Company Issues an
Address to Its Customers.

Eevery steamer from England brings
this side of the water concerning the
movements Of the Consolidated Tobacco
Company over there. The trust has evil
dently struck a snag for it is going along
more slowly than was at first expected.
No more firms have gone over, and what
is better, several which have been APP
preached by President Duke have re.
pulsed him. Letters received here yes
terday and Saturday contain tins news
and declare that there is no occasion for
alarm among the exporters here.
In view of the fact that there was
a considerable difference of opinion here
as to the character of this organization,
and that this circular accurately defines
the object OF the company and will hence
prove OF great interest, it is given below:
You are aware that Messrs. lOgdens
business has been absorbed by the Amer
lean Tobacco Company with the obvious
intention of controlling the British to-
bacco trade in the American interest. We
cannot suppose that this would be uiti-
mately beneficial to British traders, even
although they might at the outset be
tempted by peculiar inducements to trans
fer their allegiance from their own coun-
trynlen to those whose homes and inter
ests are in another land. We are glad to
be able to inform you that we have agreed
upon an amalganation of our business
under the name of THE Imperial T0bac-
CO Company (of Great Britain and Ire
land), Limited" and we wish our custo-
merS to be assured that if they remain
loyal to British commerce we shall stand
by them, and that in the arrangements
which are now being mace for carrying
out the amalgamation the interests of the
retail trade will be carefully borne in
mind. AS soon ass our arrangements are
completed a further communication will
be addressed to- you, and we venture to
hope that meanwhile our respective Gus
toners will continue the confidence hith-
erto reposed in us.-Yours truly,

and various important firms have init
rated that they are thinking Of joining

that Galaher and Cope are not among the

lar. The belief here is that these two
companies will be the next to go over to
