Two Hundred Years Old?

Vienna, Feb. l2.-Volksblatt today
vouches for the fact that there is at pres
ent patient in a hospital at Tomsk,
Siberia, who is 200 years of age. His
age, the paper says, is authenticated by
his birth certificate, and other documents,
among which is a passport issued to him
in 1853 in which his age is given as 60.
His wife's death certificate is dated 1880
and it is stated in it that the couple had
then been married AZ years. A son died
in 1924, aged 90 This Russian Methu-
saleh, Volksblatt continues, remembers
having seen Peter the Great of Russia,
who reigned in the early half of the 18th
century and his wife Katherine, who
succeeded him. While the aged patient
is bed ridden, he is mentally sound.

MFR. Baer Before the Commission.

Philadelphia, Feb. 12.-The long ex-
pected crisis in the coal strike commits
sion's proceedings came today, with the
appearance of President George F. Baer,
of the Reading Railway and the Reading
Coal and Iron Company, to argue the
case of the coal operators. Mr.. Baer 5
speech was characteristic in that he did
not mince matters. In the plainest An
glo-Saxon, devoid of rhetorical figures,
he attacked the miners, the civic fedora
ton. the national Legislators at Wash
ipgton. and those to whom he referred
as s'meddlers' in the projected settle
ment of the strike. He concluded by
making a proposition to the miners, the
same being his first concession, since the
beginning of the trouble. His proposition
was as follows:
THAT the rate Of wages now paid shall be
the minimum basis for the next three years;
That from the first of November to the first OF
April, 1908, all employees, other than con-
tract miners, shall be paid an additional i've
per cent. That on and after April LIST, 1908,
for each five cents in excess of $3.50 per ton
on the average price realized for white ash
coal IN the harbor OF New York, on all sizes
above pea wages shall be advanced one per
cent; the wages to rise or fall one per cent
for each five cents increase or decrease III
prices; but they shall never fall during the
next three years below the present basis"

THE ALABAMA lilly white" republi-
cans having declared for Mr.. Hanna for
President, some of the Virginia "lilies'
are talking the same way, for they do
not understand Mr.. Roosevelt and say
they cannot rely upon him. The reasons
why the practical men in the republican
party wish TO nominate Mr.. Hanna are
that he is practical and that they know
precisely where to find him. These men
say that they cannot tell from one day to
another what Mr.. Roosevelt will do.
They illustrate their criticism by the
outcome of the distribution of offices in
Virginia, which, they say, has not been
for the good of the party or to secure
delegates to the national convention, but
to crafty some personal whims of the
President, which no one could anticipate
before they were sprung. The chief
cause of the complaint, however,
is that in these appointments persons
and questions outside of the State have
had more influence than the organiza-
ton in the State has had.

THAT IT pays to have every great
political claims" upon an adminlstra-
ton is shown by the amount OF govern
ment funds deposited with the National
CITY Bank, of New York, during the
present republican administration. The
National City Bank is controlled by
Standard Oil magnates and has been per
mitted to maintain an average monthly
balance of government funds aggregating
S15, 900, 600, about four times the
amount given any other banking institu-
ton in New York or elsewhere. Banks
designated as government repositories
by the Secretary of the Treasury are per-
mitted to deposit in the United States
Treasury government bonds to the
amount of the deposit they wish to carry.
These bonds pay interest to the bank at
the rate of 2, and per cent. year.
The bank pays absolutely nothing for
the use of the money deposited. 1t can
loan the money to its clients at whatever
rate it may deem proper and thus make
large profits for its stockholders.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.
Washington, d. c., Feb. II.

According to instructions received
from the German Foreign Office, Baron
Won Sternberg this morning formally
demanded of Minister Bowen the pay
ment by Venezuela of $40, 900 in five
equal monthly installments, the first to
become due two weeks after the signing
of the protocol. Although he considers
this demand outrageous, Minister Bowen
will accede to it in theinterests of peace,
the Germans agreeing with the other
powers to the lifting of the blockade
Immediately upon the signing of the
protocols. The representatives of Great
Britain and Italy have cabledto their re-
spective foreign offices the news OF this ex-
tortionate demand, coupled with the expla-
nation that when they consented yester-
day to the payment Of a greater cash
amount to Germany than to their own
governments they had supposed that
Germany would not ask for more than
S17O, 900. Before learning of this latest
demand of Germany, the Italian Ambas-
sador told Minister Bowen that he would
be ready to sign the protocol on behalf
of his government this afternoon. lie
will now be compelled to hold it up for
further instructions from Rome. 1t is
believed that both Great Britain and
Italy will reluctantly acquiesce in the
new arrangement, displeasing though it
be, and that all of the protocols will be
signed within day or two. In insist
ing on the payment of the $40, 900 in
the manner demanded Germany virtually
repudiates the written agreement made
early in the negotiations by Count Quadt.
If Germany accepts the conditions
under which Minister Bowen agrees to
pay her $4,000 in cash she will be
forced openly to repudiate the early
negotiations conducted by Count Quadt.
Great surprise is manifest here at Ger
many's action in making this new de-
mand over the head of her accredited
representative, and it has become quite
apparent that Count Quadt is to be made
the scapegoat for many of Germany S
blunders throughout the Venezuelan
episode. A suggestion is advanced that
at the last moment Germany perceived
that she had fallen into another trap laid

Died In Poverty.

Chicago, Feb. 12.-Maria Streeter,
the wife of the notorious Captain John
Wellington Streeter, now under sentence
for murder, died last night in barn in
this city. The excitement of the recent
trial and conviction of her husband for
murder caused general break down,
from which she vas unable to recover.
She was so years of age. Mrs. Streeter,
was first married to John Jordan, who
died in Libby prison during the civil
war. By him she had two children, a
son and a daughter The son died in
infancy, but the daughter lived and was
adopted by Captain E. B. Ward, and
took his name. This daughter is said
to be none other than the Princess
Chiniay, who, as Clara Ward, the famous
American beauty, married the Prince
and later created such a sensation by
deserving her husband for a Bohemian
fiddler.

THURSDAY EVENING. FEB. 70, 1908

A GREAT DEAL has been written oil
late about child labor in the South, and
especially by northern newspaper cor
respondents. 1t is unfortunately a
fact that little children are employed in
some of the southern cotton mills who
ought to be at school and who are being
deprived of their childhood. But In a
recent number of McClure's Magazine
Mr. Francis H. Nichols directs atten-
ton to child laborers in northern
State, compared with whom those OF the
South enjoy life of ease and pleasure.
These unhappy little toilers are IN the
anthracite coal region OF Pennsylvania
and number nearly 80, 900, of whom "a, :
900 are boys who work for the mining
companies and the others girls who work
in textile mills established in the mining
region in order to utilize this cheap labor.
Thus the population of the mining region
is becoming more and more densely igno-
rant, bitterly hating their employers,
but knowing nothing beyond coal min
ing, and for this reason absolutely at the
mercy of pitiless corporations. The first
thing that the child hears from his par
ents is bitter denunciation of the coal
companies and the non-union workers
These he is taught to regard as his natu-
raj enemies and the union as his only

PLATT AND ODELL RIvALs.-The
President is placed in position in
which during the next few days he may
be called upon to cause an open rupture
in the New York republican State or
ganization. For several years there
have been dissentions among the repub-
licans of the Empire State, Governor
Odell and Senator Plat being the chief
combatants. Now the matter it is said,
has been taken to the White House,
where decision must be made one way
or the other by which the supremacy of
either Governor Odell or Senator Platt
must be recognized by the administra-
ton. The situation is said to be causing
the President great deal of worry. The
whole matter hinges upon the retrospective
appointment by the President of a ship
ping commissioner for New York. Gov.
Odell and Senator Plat have rival can
dictates. Senator Plat has been urging
the appointment of Representative Han
bury, of Brooklyn, while Governor Odell
desires the selection of w. w. Worden,
of Saratoga. Governor Odell went to
Washington yesterday at the suggestion
of the President.

generally comment on the situation in

agreeing that the affair is fast taking on

A YOUNG woman was given a verdict
for $lS, 200 damages against Chicago
physician last week for the loss of leg,
of which she was deprived, according to
the allegations in her petition, because
of the improper treatment she received
at the time she fell while playing, and
hurt her knee. If doctors are to be
mulched for damages in this fashion
amputations will probably become less
frequent, though the death rate may in
crease. Dead people bring 70 suits.

THE PLAN of the Rev. c. J. Parker,
vicar of st. James Church, London, for
encouraging church attendance by hold
ing services in the dark so the poor wo-
men could not criticise each other
clothing, has had its first trial and is
pronounced a success. The music and
reponses were thrown upon alime-lighted
screen, while the congregation sat in
total darkness. The vicar, with his
violin, led the choir, and the curate in
the gallery operated the lights on the
screen. A full attendance was present.
This new feature will probably continue
TO attract women to St. James Church
for while but the vicar will soon find
out that he will have to add newer ones,
