Wv 1HILE THE average length
\N/ of human life Is probably
greater now than ever
before, there seems to be
no physiological reason why 1T may
not be considerably heightened" vital
statistics estimate the average liie OF
man at thirty-five years; that oil II
woman at forty. This estimate Is
doubtless too high in each case. But
assuming that these figures hold good
for all practical purposes of compar-
son, why is it the average normal lie
of a woman is longer that that OIL Il
man? There are many reasons why
this should be so, not the least among
them being the more temperate life led
by women, which compensates, If not
fully, at least to great extent. for the
dangers accompanying maternity.
But here is the curious fact. While
the longevity of woman mas been
greater than that of man hitherto, the
balance of life is shifting appreciably,
In annual returns of the register gem
eral of England this is pointed out and
a SurmlSe, II not an ekplaHatloh' VI 'he
cause Is given. In tropical countries
it is maintained the longevity of women
is greatly in excess of that noted in
temperate zones. The greater exposure
of men to chills, irregular meals and
malarial fever incidental to out door
life in equatorial regions accounts for
men dying quicker and within COM
parative limitations this wear and tear
of life holds good in any country. But
in another generation or two, the bal
ance of life will have practically dis
appeared. Women are now strenuously
entering into competition with men and
must pay an increased assessment of
the primordial tribute to nature.

THE s'RECORD" TO BE SOLD.
Great Philadelphia Paper Will Have
New Owners.

Great Philadelphia Paper Will Have
New Owners.
The Philadelphia Record, the most
popular of all metropolitan papers
coming to Bridgeton, will be sold at
public sale next month.
The Record has had a phenomenally
successful career, and is as popular in
New Jersey as in Pennsylvania It's
success in this State is almost wholly
due to the ability and popularity of
the Jersey editor, Charles r. Bacon.
Mr.. Bacon is a trained newspaper
man, and during his career on the
Record, has held many of its assign
ments, covering national conventions,
and represented his paper recently
upon the arrival in this country of
Prince Henry.
In New Jersey he is known all over
the State, has a personal acquaintance
with all the prominent men of the
State of both parties. That he has in
fiuence has been many times illus
trated and during the recent session
of the Legislature was the private
secretary of Speaker Bradley of the
Assembly.
Mr.. Bacon has the entire confidence
of public men of the State, and is al
ways able to obtain any information
that is for the public 1t is presumed
that Mr. Bacon will continue his re-
lations with the Record when the
change is made, and indeed its con-
tinued success in New Jersey would
seem to depend upon it.

FIRE ALARMS
WERE RINGING.
Chimney Blaze in the Afternoon
Saturday-NOthing Serious.

Early Saturday afternoon there was
an alarm of fire turned in from box
No. 27, corner of South avenue and
Grove streets. The horses were not
attached to the street sweeper, hence
the department responded promptly.
The services of the firemen were not,
however, needed, as the blaze was in
a chimney of house on River street,
and was quickly extinguished
Saturday night at fifteen minutes of
ten, an alarm was turned in from box
No. 26, Lemon and Pearl street, and
again the department. came out fast.
The blaze was in the rear of the
store of William Harris, on South
Laurel street. In some mysterious
manner fire had started in some boxes
containing rubbish. and it was burn
ing rapidly when discovered
Mr.. Harris was sitting in his front
office when the fire was discovered by
someone on the street, and knew
nothing of it. The chemical extin-
guishers stopped the trouble.
On their way back to the fire engine
house, the hose wagon was stopped,
and blaze in some old boxes in the
rear of Donaghay Brothers store was
extinguished. The two last fires
might have proven very serious had
they started later.

HUNT BROS.
DARING WORK
OF BURGLARS.
Whipple & Sons West Side Drug
Store Robbed of Over $500
Worth of Goods.

Daring burglars robbed George FL.
Whipple & Son, west side druggists,
of about 5000 worth of stock, Sun
daylight.
Just before six O'Clock this morning,
Mr.. Ware, the chair maker, came
along by the store and discovered that
pane of glass was out of the Fayerte
street door. He Immediately notified
Mr.. George Fl. Whipple.
An investigation shows that dar-
ing robbery had occurred.
Burglars, under TIE glare of an arc
lamp at the intersection of Broad and
Fayette streets, had broken out one
of the large panes of glass in the door
leading off Fayette street. Entering
this the burglars worked cautiously
along the east side of the store, where
it is dark and somewhat obscured
from the street. The large show cases
containing fine cutlery, knives, razors,
shears and other articles, pocket books
and leather goods, were rified and
stock amounting to perhaps 5000 car
ried off.
The burglars did not attempt to go
to any other part of the store. No
effort was made to reach the safe,
and neither of the cash registers were
disturbed
The work appears to be that of an
expert and no clue has been discovered
that leaves any clue to the burglars.

SUDDENLY BECAME
VIOLENTLY INSANE.
Daniel Borden, a GlasswOrker is
Taken to the Hospital for
Insane.


Daniel Borden, a glassworker. thir-
ty-three years old, became violently
insane early Saturday morning, and
is now under treatment at the County
Hospital.
Friday night, at his home on South
Pearl and Grove streets, he quietly
spent the evening reading newspapers
and retired as usual.
Early Saturday morning, sometime
about three O'Clock he awakened Mrs.
Borden and told her that he heard
some one down stairs. She noticed
that he was suffering from some hal
Inclination, and to satisfy him went
down stairs.
When she went down she left her
husband standing with hair brush
in his hand. Upon herreturn she was
confronted by him with an uplifted
hatchet in his hands, and she gave a
scream. Startled, Borden dropped the
hatchet, and remarked with some agi-
tation, my God, you spoke just IN
time. -
From that moment Borden became
extremely violent and imagined that
he was pursued by armed foes. In his
delirium he thought he could see
many people coming after him with
guns, and he shrieked in terror, and
endeavored to get away from his tor
mentors
Finally officer Woodruff was sent
for and took the unfortunate fellow to
the station house.
There he was demon. From the
roof, under the floors and through the
walls he imagined men were aiming
guns at him. He wrapped himself in
a blanket and threw himself upon the
floor and thought himself safe for a
moment.
Then he would jump to his feet,
wrenched bench apart and attempted
to clear the place of his tormentors.
-Four physicians were called and ex.
amined Borden, prononncing him in.

LITTLE CHILD
HORRIBLY BURNED.
Awful Tragedy Down at Port
Norris ON Saturday After
noon.

UOOU.
A horrible tragedy occurred Satur-
day afternoon in Port Norris, the
story being most distressing one.
Samuel Newcomb lives in Port Nor
ris with his family. Saturday after
noon the little two-year-old daughter
was left sleeping in it's crib on the
third floor of the house.
Mrs. Newcomb went out in the yard
for short time, and while there the
little child met with a most horrible
death
Evidently the child had secured
some matches which had been left
upon the bureau near the crib, and set
fire to herself. A trail of the fire
showed how the terrified, suffering
youngster hastened, as best it could,
to get down stairs to it's natural pro-
tector. When the mother came in the
house, there, in the sitting room, was
the charred body, burned to a crisp,
dead upon the floor The hair was
entirely gone, the eyes burned out, the
clothing entirely destroyed, the flesh
baked
Investigation showed that the fire
had started in the third story room
where the the babe had slept, and
when the family went up the crib was
still burning. The trail of the death
dealing blaze was plainly. marked
uponaevery stair step all the way down
to the spot where the poor little body
was found.
The body was buried Monday morn.

over, occupy this position forever, a
