which can be attributed his immunity
from most of the heavy burdens of adj
vanced years. He has never been a
faddist in the matter of foods He has
never smoked tobacco. He used TO en-
joy a glass of good ale. and had no
scruples about drinking. until he came
to the conclusion that for the sake
of the weaker brethren he ought to
become total abstainer.
He has always worked hard-but
never too hard-and has enjoyed his
work. He has gone in for moderation

old age have lain heavily. Inheritance

worse. In his youth Northampton had
a population of 10000. Its boot and

Ruskinian simplicity. There were no
huge factories. no steam whistles. no
railways-none OF the things that char
acterize the Northampton today with

ARE AIMING WITH
NEW ARTILLERY

The haste with which continental
armies are rearming their batteries with
quickfring guns is proof of the impor-
lance of the new ordnance. There is.
unfortunately, no sign of diminishing
ornaments, in the light of the lead
given by the British army; on the con-
trary, each nation is expanding every
penny which can be extracted from the
treasury in undermining the artillery
arm, and the personnel is apparently of
little Importance The rearmament of
the field artillery of various foreign
armies with quick firing guns still con-
tinues and only Italy, Greece and Ser
via of European countries would appear
to have not yet come to a decision in
the matter.
Germany has made rapid strides dur
ing the past twelve months, though re-
tanning six gun battery establishments.
although both France and Japan have
reverted to four-gun batteries. as have
also Holland, Sweden, Turkey, Spain and
the United States.
The Austrian army has decided that a
battery at war strength is in future to
have six guns. instead of eight. as at
present, and upward of 100 rapid-firins
guns have recently been manufactured
for the field artillery units. Belgium
has adopted Krupp gun, after pro-
tracted trials, and the rearmament Of
Bulgaria has recently received eighty
one four-gun quick firing batteries from
LIE Creusot and has arranged for min
imum reserve of 1000 rounds a run n
be available for war. Denmark has Sc
cured a Krupp quicksilver similar to the
Belgium gun, and remarkable progress
has been made in the handling of the
new weapon.
Germany has issued a quick firinp
equipment and is experimenting with
another pattern of Bavarian nanufac-
ture, while a 1ong-range field gun of
3.93-inch calibre has been introduced
into the heavy artillery. Holland ha (
reconstructed her artillery. the Dutch
employment of quick firing guns. italy
is in treaty for a supply of modern ord
nance Japan, since the battle of the
Sha Ho, has introduced light shields 70
all field guns, and the Osaka arsenal 10

firers. more than 10000 men being con-
stantly employed in their manufacture
Portugal has been supplied with tbirtv-
six batteries of Schneider-Canet 295
inch quick firing guns. Rumania will
receive 500 quick -firers from Krunp
during next year Russia has armed
half her batteries with a 3-fnch oufcls-
firing gun, and Spain Is acquiring fifty
batteries similar to Portugal. Swadan
has now completed her armament IF
quick firing Krupp field guns. Switzer-
land has rearmed her four army corns
with new material while the United
States has decided on the organization
of sixty four-gun batteries with the
new Ehrhardt pattern gun, which has a
sighting up to 600e yards.--London

AUTOPSY FAILS TO REVEAL
DEFINITE CAUSE FOR DEATH
Coroner Unable TO Determined Whether
Poison Disease Killed Mrs.
Maude CreffieId.

SEATTLE, Nov 1.-THE autopsy on
the body of Mrs. Maude Creff1eld, held
today, did not determine a definite
cause for her death. Coroner Carroll
said today that IL may have been either
Of these causes; Poison in the stomach.
uraemia or neuralgia of the heart.
The stomach and the urine must be
chemically analysed before the cause
can be assigned. The heart. the lungs,
liver and kidneys were found in per-
fectly healthy condition. The sur
geons explained that neuralgia of the
heart would cause sudden death and
leave not the least indication on the
heart itself. The result Of the chemical
analysis can probably not be made be-
loren tomorrow.

Costly Mistake In Election Returns
UKIAH. Nov. 1.-THE Supervisors OF
this county are in curious predica-
ment. In canvassing the votes cast at
the last election they found that in one
precinct sixty-six votes were credited
in Dyke instead of to w. s. Vandyke
the Republican nominee 1t is said that
strict Interpretation OF the law would
rob the Republican nominee of these
votes. as though they were cast for a
third party, although a contest would
clearly show that the ballots had been
really cast for Vandyke. 1t Is plainly an
error OF the election clerk but the Su-
pervisors are not presumed to look be-
hind the returns. With these votes
vandyke is elected. but without them
he is not. The Supervisors have passed
the matter up to the District Attorney
before Issuing a certificate Of election.
