Mrs. Mary A. Twichell. while keep
ing vigil over her invalid husband.
Fred C. Twichell, at their home, 912
Thirty-fifth avenue, died some time
Saturday night, and sat lifeless in a
chair near her helpless husbands bed
until her body was discovered by a
neighbor Sunday afternoon. says the
P.-L.
Mrs. Twichelrs death was due to
hemorrhage of the lungs. 1t is sup
posed that while watching with her
husband, who is a brother of Frank
A. Twichell land commissioner for
this district, that she was attacked
and died in the chair. Her husband
has about lost the power of speech,
and when he realized that his
wife must be either i'll or dead, he
was unable to summon assistance. So
it was not. until neighbOr suspected
something wrong that the dead woman
was found.
Mrs Twichell was 81 years old, and
had lived in Seattle II years. The
family had been followed by mis-
fortune after misfortune. During the
last eight years, two grown sons, their
only children, died. - Four years ago

OVERDOSE OF PROSPERITY
TOO MUCH BUSINESS FOR CAPT.
TAI CAUSES LARGE SHRINK
/. AGE IN WALL STREET.

NEW YORK. Aug. 2S-The shrink
age in Wall street values has already
exceeded 3,OOO,OOO,OOO. This is large
ly due, not to President Roosevelt's
policy or his actions in connection
with corporations: fbr similar dis
turbanceS have taken place in London
and elsewhere. English consols, for
instance are lower today than they
have been in the history of the ma
ton, says Henry Clews. AS matter
of fact, we have had in this country
too much prosperity for several years,
causing an OVERRIDING in all channels
of work, construction and specula-
ton. In other words. there has been
too much business for capital, credit,
and transporta ton. Values had become
inflated and in the meantime here
were many e.-~1nceS of corporate
dishonesty which shocked confidence
by the revelations that cropped out
from time to time. Mr.. Roosevelts
policy has been forced upon him by
these developments While the penal
ty now being paid may be bitter for
the excuses that have taken place,
the situation will be a sounder one
in the end and all interests will be es-
tablished on more conservative
basis. Great prosperity Mas forced
upon corporations a larger amount of
business than they had the ability to
handle; hence the flooding of the
market with securities to obtain the
mears to meet the emergency and the
excessive issues from that source. 1t
is plain to be seen, therefore, that

The Limit Of Life.

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the generally accepted limitation OF
human life is many years below the
attainment possible with the advanced
knowledge of which the race is now
possessed. The critical period, that
determines it's duration, seems to be
between SO and go; the proper care of
the body during this decade cannot
be too strongly urged; carelessness
then being fatal to longevity. Natures

The new law was accepted by the
railroads after some protest, and

everybody pays his fare. No defin-
lite reports have yet been made by
the companies, but it is asserted that
the gross revenues will exceed the
amount received under former con-

the RAILROADS have been benefited by
the laws they resisted. "These meas

nearly all the movable goods from the large farmhouse, above the cellar, be fore the flames overlook them. Some things were also taken from the eel lar. The adjoining buildings were saved. There was much danger ap- prehended at first that the horse barn near the house would ignite, but in saving the woodhouse, nearer the house, the greatest danger to the barn was averted. The night being quite still it was easier to contine the fire, although the water supply was very slim. A good deal of snow was used and the small amount of water avail able and the result is much more for tunate than at first feared by all. No one was physically injured and MT Humphrey and family have found temporary shelter at his only near neighbours, Robert 0. Whittlesey's. On account of the bright moonlight of that night, the reflection of the fire was hardly seen mile away and the only intimation all received was by the telephone. We have not yet learned in regard to the insurance on the property. The loss of the home in midwinter, situa ted as that is, seems worst for all.

B. G. HUMPHREY s HOUSE BURNED.
 On Monday evening about 1O.45 sev- eral telephones were sounded in this village by Mrs B. s. Humphrey near Romford, announcing the fact that her home, which has been occupied by her and her husband during their mar ried life of five years or longer and pre- vtously occupied by Dea George S.. Humphrey and family, known years ago as the David o. Whittlesey place, was on fire and calling for all the help possible to assist in saving from the house all possible and also to help save the adjoining building. It was a cold night to start and an unfavor- able hour, without much extra exer- tion, to inform the majority of the vil- lage of the unfortunate occurrence. In various ways, however, Is or 20 men from this near vicinity were notified and responded to the call A few sleighs were thus loaded which con- veyed them to the fire three miles away. Those who first went reached there in time to assist in removing furniture, carpets, stoves and In fact
