Longevity Is Increasing.
So, at Least, Say the Actuaries of In
surance Companies.

Actuaries. men who make a study
Of statistics relating to life and death,
say that mans years are gradually
growing longer. The fourth conveE-
ton Of these men from all parts Of
the world Is being ,eld in New York
this week, and the first general subject
discussed was that Of increasing
longevity.
These actuaries Of great insurance
companies should certainly know
what they are talking about. They
are not accustomed to deal in general
zations. When they say a thing it has
ali the certainty that figures can give
il. and figures, according to the pro-
verb, don't lie. Emory McCHntocE
and others Of these statisticians de-
clare that a person now living may
reasonably expect to have a longer
period Of life than those Of even d
decade ago.
Better hygiene, more thorough
knowledge Of self-care, purer water,
more thorough drainage, less drinking
Of liquor all these things and many
others have combined to make the
twentieth century man a finer physi-
cal product than existed generation
ago. The American people are be
coming more temperate and more in
telligeut. 1t is no longer the fad for
our women and girls to be puny and
delicate. Short skirts, wheeling, rid
ing. golfug, walking, swimming. fenc
ing, even boxing, have contributed To-
make the coming mothers Of the race
I'll TO bear strong sons and daughters.

Is a secret William Jennings Bryan re-

counted upon his services, and now IL is

first last night with John II. Clarke. the
Johnson candidate for the Senate against
Senator Hanna. at Napoleon Instead Of
appearing SIR. Bryan sent a telegram 70
Mayor Johnson saying that he had
changed his mind and could not make
any speeches. The mayor declined to
make the telegram public. II Is sup
posed. however. that Mr.. Bryan did not
enjoy the prospect OF occupying the
platform with man who denounced him
and his issues in 1895, and who declined
TO vote for him. Clarke's friends say
he is a good Democrat. though the sill
verites are asking him some pointed
questions. Now tnat Mr.. Bryan declines
to appear with him. II would seem that
Mayor Johnson is going TO have his
hands full harmonizing things.

A Famous Prime Minister.

The eighth Lord North was the IA
nous prime minister of King George III,
and played no little part in the circum-
stances connected with the American
war OF independence. Indeed, his role in
those eventfuI times constitutes the
theme of the present Lord North's most
recent article in the North American
Review" The barony of North de-
scended, on the death of the ninth lord.
to his daughter, Susan. who became
Baroness North in her own right and a
peeress of the realm. She married Col.
John Sidney Doyle, who after the mar
riage received the permission OF the
crown to assume the name of North,
though not his wifes title.
Susan, Baroness North, died in 1884.
whereupon her son inherited her peer
age, and took his seat in the house OF
lords, his father, Colonel North, mem
ber of parliament for Oxfordshire, sur
viying until a few years ago. Lord
North. who is a Roman Catholic, a
knight of the Sovereign order of Malta,
and a soldier by training and profession,
has a large family of children, the eldest
son and heir TO the peerage having met
with financial misfortunes in connection
with an American syndicate for devel-
oping certain lands and the building of
town in the State of Tennessee Indeed,
he was gazetted a bankrupt with lia-
bilities to the tune of a quarter OF a
million dollars, some years ago and has
forfeited all his interests in connection
with the succession to the family
estates, which as matters stand now will

A Disagreeable Surprise.

Lord Dalhousie. un -he occasion OF
his recent marriage with Lady Mary
Willoughby. youngest daughter of The
Earl of Ancaster. is stated to have met
with very disagreeable surprise or the
eve of his wedding. Owning large es-
tates. his income has been computed IN
til now at about $500. 900 a year, and
he naturally. therefore. considered IL
within his power to settle an annuity
of $20, 600 a year upon his bride. IL his
intense disgust, he discovered at the last
moment that his resources did not ad-
nit of any such arrangement. and that.
indeed. far from being able to settle
any such sum on his countess ,hey
would be Obliged for several years TO
come TO content themselves with very
little more than that as their Joint in
come.
OF course, agricultural depression is
responsible for much of this deprecla-
tion in the earl's property. But If gos-
sip is to be believed. the young earl is
disposed TO ascribe much of the respon-
sibility in the matter 10 his uncle. the
Hon. Charles Ramsay. who was his guar
dian during his long minority, and who
had charge of the administration of his
estates. Charles Ramsay is married to
Miss Estelle Garrison. daughter OF
William r. Garrison. of New York.

The Age Limit.
Likely to Be Ignored in Issuing Licenses
to "Chauffeurs."

The Corporation Counsel advises
the Commissioners that they have the
right, under their police power to
fix an age limit for "chauffeurs," but
he also tells them that it would not be
wise to exercise that power In other
words, he agrees with The Times in
saying that it would be working
gross injustice to the everyday cub,
anywhere from fourteen to twenty
years" of whom our morning contem-
porary pretends to stand in such
deadly fear, but whom we consider to
be quite as competent to run a ma
chine in the streets of this city as
some square-toed old fogy who has
neither sense, discretion, nor the quick
eye and alert hand of youth.
1t is not conceivable that parents
would permit cubs of fourteen to
roam the streets in red devils unat-
tended. But even then, we should be
willing to take our chances on the
cub" as against some drunken fool
who had happened to pass an exami-
nation and had not the requirements
Of an age limit. The board which is
tC issue licenses should treat each case
upon its merits. A license should be
revokable, but it should not be with
held because the applicant is guilty
