MORE THAN A CENTENARIAN.
Hundred and second Birthday.
From the New York Tribune.

Hundred and Second Birthday.
From the New York Tribune.
Born in the year 1900, at the opening
of the new century, Mrs. Elizabeth
Hunt, wonderfully preserved woman,
whose home is at No. 4O7 Adelphi
street, Brooklyn, celebrated her 1920
birthday yesterday. 1t was necessarily
a quiet celebration, because Mrs. Hunt,
who is at present visiting her grand
son, Frederick Hunt, at Middletown,
Conn, is confined to her bed with a
dislocated shoulder blade. received In
falling down stairs there about eight
weeks ago Aside from this injury the
more than centenarian is In excellent
health--such good health. indeed, that
the doctors have hopes that she will
recover from her injuries.
Mrs. Hunt was born In Lancaster,
Pa, the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Babel. In 1905 the family moved to
Leonard street, New York. where Mr..
Babel became a baker. In 1882 Eliza
beth was married to John Hunt, a car
penter and builder, who moved to Mic
dletown, Conn. He died there in the
early fifties, and Mrs. Hunt came to
live with her son, Reuben Hunt, at No.
40I Adelphia street, Brooklyn, In 1879.
He was the baby of a family of seven
children, and is now fifty-six years old.
He and James Hunt, of Shelton, Conn,
are the only ones of the seven still
living. Since 1879 the aged woman has
nes err once nlissed an annual journey
from Brooklyn to visit her grandson
in Middletown and a granddaughter,
whose home is in Meriden, Conn. That
a woman Of her age can stand such a
trip speaks volumes for her vitality.
She reads and sews with the aid Of
glasses, and her hearing has failed
only slightly. Her teeth. are all gone.
but they say that she nanag es to en-
joy bit of beefsteak as well as those
provided with a full set of molars.
During the Civil War three sons and
two sons-in-law of Mrs. Hunt served
in the Seventh Connecticut Volunteers
Both of the latter gave their lives fer
their country, Thomas Tappan at Fort
Wagner and John Dunlap In a hOspi-
tai at Fortress Monroe.

as they arise shall be referred for in
vestigation. and that when two thirds
of the committee reach a decision, that
decision shall be final and binding up
on both parties.
Fourth. That the first duty of
such joint board of Cancellation
shall be to enter upon
thorough examination and investi-
cation of all conditions relative to
mining anthracite coal, the question of
weighing, of discipline, ofSwage scales
and of all matters that now form the
burden of the complaints and griey-
ances of both operators and miners;
the result of such investigation not to
be considered in the nature of an
award of board of arbitration, but as
verified information on which future
contracts can be made.
Fifth. That whenever practicable
and where mining is paid for by the
ton, and until the joint committee re-
ferred to shall have made its report,
coal shall be paid for by the
ton and be weighed by two
inspectors, one representing the
men, each side to pay it's own inspec-
tor.
sixth. That there shall be no in
reference with non-union men.
Seventh. That whenever practical
BILE collective bargains shall be made
relative to wages. time and other con-
ditions, under rules to be established
by the joint committee referred to-"
These conclusions, Mr.. Wright says,
he believes will help to allay irritation
and to reach the day when the anthra-
cite coal regions shall be governed
Systematically and in accordance with
greater justice and higher moral prin-
ciples than now generally prevail on
either side

There is not an organ in the body
but what is liable to become seriously
deranged by a neglected cold Diseas-
es of the kidneys, bladder and digestive
organs are all frequently the result of
a neglected cold.
Hundreds of dollars are spent on doc
tors and medicines trying to cure these
diseases, but until the true cause of
them is discovered. there will be no
use in using medicine.
Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhoea medi-
cine and constipation medicine Is of
no good whatever when catarrh is the
cause. The catarrh must be treated.
The cause being removed, the derange-
ments win disappear.
Peruna cures catarrh of the digestive
organs, the urinary organs or any of
the internal organs.

ROSE FOR GOVERNOR.

milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 3.-Davis S.
Rose of Milwaukee was nominated for
governor on the first ballot by the
Democratic convention here tonight.
A conservative estimate shows that
about rs per cent. of the 638 delegates
are gold Democrats, indicating that the
breach which has long existed in the
party has been bridged over. Promi-
nent among the delegates was former
United States Senator William F. Vi
las The platform is devoted almost
wholly to state issues. 1t attacks the
present tariff as fostering trusts and
declares war on combinations of CAPT
tai.
Mr.. Rose is known to a number OF
Savannahians, who met him last win
ter, when he visited this city with the
Cook County Marching Club of Chi
cago. He made quite favorable inn
preston, and his Savannah friends will
be glad to learn of his nomination.

ment-The Averages of the Cotton
States.
Washington, Sept 3-The monthly
report of the statistician of the De-
partment of Agriculture, issued at noon
to-day, shows the average condition of
cotton on Aug. 26 to have been GA. as
compared with 81.9 on July 25; TIA on
Aug. "a, 1901; 6S.2 on Sept. l, 1900, and
a ten-year average of 1871.
The present unprecendentedly low
average of conditions, which is 2-10
point lower than the condition on Sept.
l. 1896, is due mainly to the reports
from Texas and Alabama, in both of
which states the prevailing conditions
are nothing less than disastrous. The
average for Texas is 3 points lower
than at the corresponding date in 1895
ana 1871, and is the lowest ever report
ed for that state. In Alabama, also,
the crop is the poorest ever known.
Georgia reports 8 points below its
ten-year average, the condition figures
being l point below the corresponding
average in 1899 and 1900. The condition
in Louisiana is the same as on Sept. !,
1900 or points below its ten-year av-
erage.
Mississippi reports points below its
ten-year average, but it's condition is

spending date in 1900. South Carolina
is within one point of its ten-year
average, and North Carolina, Tennes-
see and Arkansas are 2 points, points
