PLAGUE AT MAzATLAN.
So Far Not chinanan Has Fallen
 Victim.


 Maxatian, Mexieo. Jan. 1s.-There has been seven deaths from the plague and ten fresh cases today. A fund of s2o,0OO has been given by the State of Sinaloa to aid in relieving the wants of distressed poor of the city. The salaries of all ofi- cers of the State government have been reduced 90 per cent, the amount to be used in relief work here.
 A curious fact is that none of the Chi nese here have been attacked with the plague. The Chinese colony has been par ticulariy generous fin contributions to the relief fund. The Chinese regard the plague with complete indifference.
 One plague sufferer tried to get away in a boat, but was overhauled and imme- iiateiy died on reaching shore.
 Some. consternation is expressed that the plague does not at once yield to the general disinfectIon of the city, but it ap- pears that the old and poorer quarters are filled with germs.

Have you seen the very latest thing
| in invitations? They take one back to
the days of ones grandmother in the
| respect that they have no envelopes,
but instead there is an elongated piece
on the end of the back side of the invi-
tation, like the turned-over piece of an
envelope, and when the invitation is
seals the communication.
1t is Tiffany's most approved style
and makes a beautiful invitation. The
| invitations to the marriage of Miss
Mary Goelet and the duke of Rox-
burghe, were gotten up in this form
and the wording too, is different from
the usual wedding invitation.
1t reads as follows:
MRS. OGDEN GOBLET
requests the pleasure of
| MRS. BIS
presence at marriage of her daughter.
MARY.
with
THE DUKE OF ROXBURGHE,
at st. Thomas Church.
ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10TH
at :230
and afterward at
COS Fifth Avnue.
r. S. V. P.
The invitation is conspicuous for it's
absence of punctuation and for the use
of numerals instead of the written date
and hour. The use of the word with"
instead of and" in the phrase, Mary
with the duke of Roxburghe," and the
expression, "and afterward at for the
reception, is something new. 1t is also
something out of the ordinary to see
the abbreviation r. S. ". p, on
wedding invitation, and in this case
the letters are underscored-whic
goes to prove that the fashionables of
New York are as remiss as their proto-
types in the provinces in acknowledge
ing invitations.

HOW TO GROW OLD.

To grow old is natural and inevita-
BILE. To most persons who are APP
preaching the dividing line between
youth and age it appears a sad bust
ness. But it is not necessarily so.
There are two ways of growing old, as
of doing almost everything else-a right
way and a wrong way. The right way,
as was emphasized by Rev. NJ. J.
Savage in a New York pulpit the other
day, is to grow old in such manner
that when the aged person departs this
life there will be felt by family and
friends sincere regret rather than re-
lief from a burden. There are old per-
sons whose room would be far better
than their presence. whose association
affords no pleasure even to those con-
nected with them by blood relation
ship. Such old persons are those who
have led purposeless lives and wasted
their opportunities. They have failed
to profit by experience, and in the win
ter of life they are peevish, dependent
and disagreeable.
But the man who starts out in life
on the right path, who strives honest
ly and faithfully for something bet
ter all the time, who lives for the hap
piness of others as we'll as for himself,
whose optimism is real enough to be
impaired to others by association, is
apt to grow old gracefully and die re-
GREETED. Innumerable persons who
| have grown old in the grand and grace
full way have borne testimony to the
fact that the autumn OF life is it's most
delightful season. With accumulated
years, passions are subdued and a phil
osophcal temperament is acquired, and
one lives more in the realm of mind
than of matter. Calm reasoning takes
the place of an impetuous jumping to
conclusions, and in nature, art. litera-
ture and human nature the aged person
finds much to contemplate and admire
that escapes the observation OF the per-
son of younger blood and quicker
pulse.
There is no royal road to riches. but
there is a royal road to an honored
and serene old age and it is plainly
marked out. It consists OF an honora-
BILE and useful life Of economy, cheer
fulness and helpfulness: of command
ing esteem by deserving It: Of accept
ing the responsibilities Of life and dis
charging them faithfully; OF facing the
final sunset with such spirit than when
the nightfall at last comes on, the uni
versal comment will be. "a good man
has gone 20 his reward"

Capt. John H. Pharr, the wealthy
sugar planter and lumberman, who
died at his home in Berwick, La, the

the leading figure in one of the most

Louisiana. In 1896 he was nominated
for Governor by the Republicans, but
was defeated by Murphy ]. Foster the
Democrats candidate, though the race
was very close. Capt. Pharr alleged
that Foster had won by frauds perpe-

ried the case before the Legislature,
declaring that he would take the gov
ernorship by force if pronounced elect
ed. The Legislature, however, declined
to go behind the returns.
