New York, Sept. 15.-Today's stock

when the out-oetown supply had been

had been satisfied, some of these banks
found themselves with funds still on
hand, which they offered in the market
and helped to break the rate to 6 per
cent. The sharp decline in sterling ex-
change encouraged the hope that the en-
gagementS of gold for import are near at
hand, the rate for sterling at the close
being within small fraction of the point
at which gold imports are reckoned
profitable. The London money rate was

Americans Living Longer.

The desire to live long is as uni
versal as any human desire can we'll
be. Therefore, any statistics bearing
upon longevity are invested with much
popular interest. The figures of the
twelfth census on the question OF
longevity furnish the optimist with
much material for expatiating upon
the general improvement and adj
vancement of the human race-at least
that portion of it living within the
boundaries of the United States. THE
race is growing older" says the sta
tistician. This, of course, is self
evident proposition. 1t requires no
statistics to verify this statement. But
the race is also living longer. The
average age is lowly but surely in
creasing as human intelligence and
knowledge of hygienic and sanitary
science is more widely disseminated.
This is the showing made by the sta
tistics of the twelfth census on length
of life in this country. Instead of
merely computing the average age
from decade to decade the statisticians
of the new census computed the
median line. which is the halfway sta
ton between birth and the average
age reached by the population. The
median age IN 1900 was 22S. as COM
pared with 21.9 in 1890. If we elimi-
nate the negro race from the calcula-
ton. however we find that the median
age of the whites was 2S.4, as against
1873 in 1890. The increase in the
median age of the white population in
the last nine decades amounted TO "A
years. while during the same period
the colored population increased only
half as fast.
While many influences have CO.
operated in producing this increase in
the average length of life, there is lit
tie doubt that it may be attributed to
an increasing knowledge of the laws of
life. The people are living more ra-
tioEally than ever before. The rules
of health are more widely observed,
there is more widespread interest in
sanitary science and more general
dependence upon such agencies as out
door exercise, healthfu1 recreation,
proper ventilation, rational diet anG
clean thinking to prolong life.

The Fame of a Poet.

I'VE live in deeds, not years; in thoughts
not breaths:
In feelings, not IN figures on dial.
We should count time by heart-throbs
Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts
the best.
LIES but means unto an end; that
Beginning. mean. and end to all things
God"
Almost everybody is familiar with
these lines and yet probably not one in
n hundred of those who can quote
friend. can give the name of their au-
thor. Philip James Bailey, who died
few DAYS ago, wrote them as part
of long poem "Festus." which was
regarded, two score years ago. as a
great and enduring work. Some
learned critics in this country and
England declared with enthusiasm
that posterity would link the name
of the author with those of Shake
speare and Goethe. But the great
promise of Bailey had a great and
sudden failure. His subsequent
works fell fiat and his masterpiece
was quickly forgotten He was an
Englishman. born in 1916. and was a
journalist and then lawyer before
he took up literature as profession.
The above quoted lines will live.
though the name of the poet was for
gotten by the world before he had
died. However, these lines indicate
that he was more of a rhetorician and
preacher than n poet.

Famous Families in Politics.

The nomination of the three Lands
brothers for Congress, two in Illinois
and one in Indiana, has started an
avalanche of stories in papers all over
the country about the parts played in
national politics by members of the
same families. The Journal started
the ball rolling by mentioning the ia
nous instances Of the Washburn and
Fessenden families of this State. OF
the former family, four brothers served
in Congress from four different states.
Three were in Congress together
through several terms and were all in
later years governors of their re-
spective states. OF the Fessendens,
thee brothers We're in Congress at the
came time. one representing Maine in
the Senate and the others representing
two of our districts in the House. The
records of these two families have
never been cqualled.
A Delaware paper now comes for
WdIu Will lIIt uidl iiotditt VI tht
Salisbury brothers of that state.
Willard Salisbury was elected to the
Senate in 1853 and held his seat for
twelve years. His brother Cove was
elected governor of the state in 1Sc6
and held office until 1871. When Will
lard Salisbury was q candidate for
reelection for the second time, the
most remarkable political contest ever
seen in this county. in some respects,
posed for reelection by his brother
Cove. the governor, but another broth
er. Eli. all three brothers being as
pirants for the same position. After
a triangular contest of some bitter
ness. the plum finally went to Eli, who
thus succeeded his brother. Willard
was afterwards appointed chancellor
of Delaware, which position he held
until his death. The brother Eli, who
defeated him. remained IN the Senate
until 1889.

of political honors staying in one fam
lily. with the Bayards. James Asheton
Bayard was United States Senator
from Delaware from 1905 to 1918. His
son. Richard Henry Bayard. served as
q United States Senator under APP
pointment in 1896 ard was elected to
the Senate and served from 1899 to
1916. Another son, James A, the sec
ond. was elected to the Senate and
served from 1851 to 1862. when he re-
signed in disgust on being compelled to
take the iron-clad oath. He was APP
pointed to fill vacancy and served
again in the Senate from 1867 to 1869,
when he was succeeded in the Senate
by his son. Thomas +. Bayard.
These instances and that of the
Adams and Harrison families are
probably the most remarkable in
American history of political promi-
hence in the members of one family.
There are many others of slighter inn
portance. as for instance the case of
the Bigler brothers. one of whom was
governor of Pennsylvania. while
another brother was governor Of Cali

The Postal Service.

One of the most interesting things of
the annual report of the postofIice de-
partment FOR the last fiscal year. soon
to be made public. is. according to
Washington dispatches, the fact that
The department very nearly made both
ends meet and that the deficit will be
the smallest for a score of years. This
result. moreover. will have been ac-
compished in the face of an increased
expenditure for service. including a
great extension of the rural free de-
livery system. The unusually good
financial showing of the past year has
been limited at several times and while
it is very gratifying as showing the
business-like administration of the de-
partment ard the largely increasing
business of the postal service. it does
not mean that the service is about to
become a source of profit to the gov
eminent 1t never should be expected
to become n source of revenue. and
when one considers the vast amount of
government mail transported includ-
ing the franking privilege of Congress,
il seems really unreasonable to expect
the department to make both ends
meet.
That it has practically succeeded in
doing so means undoubtedly the rapid
broadening of the service in the i'm
mediate future. The extension of rural
delivery Will be rapid, though this may
mean profit rather than loss to the
government. 1t probably means the
increase of pneumatic tube service in
cities. and possibly experiments with
electrical devices for the transmission
of mail over long distances more
swiftly than any railway train car
travel. 1t may mean one-cent postage
within few years. or more generous
provisions for other classes of mail
The people do not expect the govern
ment to make money out of the trans
portation of mails. They do. how
ever. expect the service to be general.
prompt. honest and progressive. And
in no country are these requirements
better fulfilled.

"One OF the sensations of last week
To York Beach was the arrival of a
tall. handsome Sicilian who soon be-
came known as 1.-The multi-millionalre
count" His foreign accent and dress
and certain air of mystery about him
soon made him the cynosure of all
eyes. Finally it leaked out that three
years ago in his native land he met Il
young American girl who was making
European tour with IN aunt and the
wife OF n United States naval officer.
He proffered his hand to the girl, and
being refused, vowed he would one day
seek her in America and renew his
offer. He found the pretty little
American summering at York Beach,
and the couple have been seen daily
driving about the country. The sequel
is not yet"
