states, but much below the figures OF
Arizona and New Mexico
There are few centenarians In New
England. but the number of persons
between the ages of IS and 100 there
are more than in any other section OF
the United States; and the two New
England states which are most noted
on account CT their great number OF
old inhabitants are Vermont and
Maine Massachusetts has a consid-
cradle number. but the people Of Mas
sachusetts are generally CT & more
progressive character than those OF
the farming districts of Vermont and
Maine, and urban life is not generally
conducive to longevity.
The large number OF centenarians
in the territories Is to be ascribed.
probably. to favorable climatic condf
tons, for both Arizona and New Mex
leo enjoy celebrity as beneficial in
pulmonary ailments. The question Of
territorial org nization has probably
nothin to do with It.

Proposed Curfew Law.
Mr.. Thorwald solberg. chairman of the
committee on schools and libraries, submit
ted a report on the subject of curfew law
for the District. The matter was called to
the attention of the executive committee
Of the association by the Georgetown Assoc
citation. The latter association submitted
draft of a bill which is to be introduced
in Congress next winter. Chairman Solberg
stated that he had been unable to get his
committee together, but had made an ef-
fort to poll the members with the result as
follows:
of the public schools, is in favor of some
law restricting the use of the streets at
night by young children. He thinks the
age limit proposed in the bill (hfteen
years) a suitable one.
'.Mr J. w. Whelpley, 800 East Capitol
street, is distinctly opposed to any legis-
lation OF such character.
DR. Richard Kingsman, I'll East Capt.
toll street. favors some law of this kind,
fixing reasonable hour at night beyond
which children are not to be allowed on
the Streets.
Chairman Solberg explained that he IA
vored the enactment Of such a law, and
said he thought a cool bath and clean bed
would benefit the children more than the
hot asphalt pavements and the possibility
of bad company
Mr.. Coldren also spoke in favor of the
proposed law, and said that such law is
force in more than 200 cities and towns
in the United States.

few Law-Meeting Of Association
Last Night.

AT the regular monthly meeting OF the
East Washington Citizens Association held
last night 1t was decided that there will be
no further meetings held until fall. Mr.. w.
Mesby Williams, chairman of the street
railroad committee, said he thought the
members of the association should congrat-
ulate themselves upon what has been ac-
complished in the past six months. The
vice president of the association, he stated,
has been in the habit of telling Of the work
accomplished, but as that official is In Eu-
rope he, the speaker, would endeavor, to
enlighten the association.
1.-The District appropriation BILL he said,
(which is, of course, our local budget, IN
round numbers, carries little over eleven
millions. This is the largest amount OF
money ever before appropriated at any one
session of Congress and is two and one
third millions more than the amount car
ried by the bill for the current year. The
present bill carries generous increases In
salaries to teachers of our public schools
and to members Of our police force. There
is an appropriation for free lectures IN the
public school buildings under the board OF
education and the Public Library Is given
additional force SO its efficiency will be IN
creased during the coming year.
'It is gratifying to all OF our people tnaL
neither the Police Court nor the ofnces OF
the register of wills or recorder of deeds
are to be placed in the municipal building
and that under the present plan the pullo-
ing will be devoted to ordinary municipal
purposes For continuing this work the
sum of $4,000 is appropriated 1t is graz.

Port Arthur Threatened.
A cablegram from London says: viceroy
Alexieff's departure from Port Arthur is in
terpreted here to mean that the place is in
imminent danger Of isolation, and the Jap
anese preparations for landing are consid-
cred as confirming the belief that Port Ar
thur has been sealed up. probably by two
of the sunken ships which Russia failed to
Locate
/ In this connection attention is drawn to
the discrepancy between the Russian and
Japanese accounts of the attempt to bottle
up the port, the former stating that 1t oc-
CURED about 3 o'clock in the morning while
the latter said it took place in the after
noon. 1t is suggested that there may have
been two separate attempts, each time with
ten ships.
1t will be remembered that it has been
previously asserted that Japan prepared
twenty vessels for this purpose. and IL this
explanation is correct the Russian accounts
referring only to the early morning affair
may be justified in asserting that 1t was UNI
successful. 1t is supposed that the Japanese
will make a supreme effort to cut on Port
Arthur before the arrival of Vice Admiral
