THE HUNDRED-YEAR NATION.


A German statistiean has made a
careful investigation to discover in
which countries the greatest age il at,
tanned. The German empire, with 55''
100000 population, has but seventy
eight subjects who are more than one
hundred years old. France. with few
er than 100000, has 2ls persons who
have passed their hundredth birthday.
England has 10. Scotland 40, Denmark
Q. Belgium S, Sweden 10. and Norway,
with 100000 inhabitants %. Switz-
erland does not boast single centen-
arian, but Spain. with about $4,000,
600 population, has 4l0. The most amaz.
ing figures come from that troublesome
and turbulent region known as the Bal
kan peninsula. Servia has 573 persons
who are more than one hundred years
old. Roumania l,0s4 and Bulgaria, g..
ss3. In other words, Bulgaria has a
centennarian to every 100 inhabitants
and thus holds the international rec
ord for old people. In 1892 alone there
died in Bulgaria $50 persons who had
exceeded the century.-New Orleans

THE WORLD"


The latest production Of the Mack
Swain Theater company, "The World
which was presented last night to a
crowded house, surpasses all previous
efforts Of this excellent company; 1t is
cleyerly written play, overhowing with
interest, splendidly staged and admir-
ably acted A story Of sea and land,
with the tang Of the salt air and the
roar Of the breakers, the scent Of green
fields, and the perfume OF the flowers;
glow of wit and humor, a tale OF
mans duplicity and wosnan's endur,
ance, succession Of dramatic surprises
and intense and thrilling situations
series of beautiful and realistic stage
pictures that could scarcely be sur
passed. Too much cannot be said in
praise of this excellent production. The
view Of the main deck Of an ocean
steamer at sra, with the explosion OF
an Internal machine and the total wreck
of the vessel followed by the scene
representing raft in mid-ocean, with
the entire stage covered with heaving
tumbling waves, were the most real
istic illusions ever witnessed upon any
stage. The performance was perfect in
every respect. Cora King Swain was
a charming Rose Ellison;" Mack swair
delightful Irishman, and the entire
company were excellent in their respec'
tive characters.

asoUTH ASTORIA"

Expansion Is the rule of municipal
development; without it no city can
make the offerings to the stranger
seeking Investments that are anywhere
near in harmony with the limitations
Of the ordinary investment that the
stranger is seeking to make. Astoria
has her eastern and western develop
ment and each is credit to her, as
well as her central and important self,
but the day is at hand when she must
have something more to offer something
cheaper, something to grow in value,
to expand upon, that the ordinary poor
man may turn to for a start in life.
At present she has nothing Of the sort.
But she has the field, and it lies over
the crest OF her backbone hills, and

appellation) as aSouth Astoria" All
who understand the situation in this
relation are of one mind on the con-
clusion that the development Of that
section Is simply waiting for quick
transportation. or, indeed, almost any
kind of ready transportation. And this
brings the subject squarely within the
purview Of the only agency at hand,
the Astoria Electric company.
We do not know, and cannot find out,
the future purposes of this company.
This project may be well within the
scope Of its ambitious program and
we hope it is. And with this hope in
mind, we beg to suggest that no time
be lost ia the prosecution Of the splen-
did undertaking. We are unable at
this particular moment to estimate the
ultimate profit to that concern, but we
are convinced beyond all possible doubt
of the immense value that in time must
accrue TO the company that projects
and completes it.
Every thinking citizen of Astoria 1
fully conscious of all the "A. f." has
done during the past eighteen months
of the heavy investment it has added
and Of the high quality of those i'm
provements, and appreciates it all, anc
must, perforce, take it as an augury fol
