SOON ADAMLESS CITY
Chicago Health Commission
er Says Men Die Off Fast.
NEGLECT OF SELF THE CAUSE
Strenuous Life, DIR. Evans Finds. l.
Not So Fatal to Women Rs tO the
Cent Faster than the Fair Sex, as
shown in the OmciaI Figures.

Chicagos Aug. 5.-The strenuous life is
killing the men Of Chicago at a tromen-
dous rate, while the women Of the city are
increasing their longevity by the simple
life. In the weekly official health bulle-
tin. just issued. Health Commissioner
Evans declares that a few centuries will
see Chicago an Adamless Eden.
DR.. Evans draws his conclusions from
the death rate in Chicago for twenty
years. and particularly in the last seven
months. when five members Of the strong
er sex died for every two of the fairer.
DIT. Evans makes the startling state
ment that during the last seven months
Of 1907 in Chicago. about 1900 men sue
cumbed, as compared to $3.50 women.
He says that In the last year. the ratio
of difference in the death rate between
men and women has been 30, against less
than 10 per cent twenty years ago.
The cause for this is attributed by tho
physician 10 the strenuous llfe Contribu-
tory causes are the quick lunch. constant
exposure, and carelessaess.
The men," he says, are living at a
rate that is 30 per cent faster than that
Of the women. They work harder They
take less care Of themselves than Of their
wives and daughters They court danger.
They dissipate more. They exhibit a care
lessness begotten Of familiarity with dan
ger"
The remedy. according to an eminent
physician, lies in the return to the simple
life Of our fathers.

LUNATIC SENDS SOUVENIRS
Patient Escapes from Asylum and
Now POstals Come frequently.
Never Mails Them Until He Is About
to Leave for Some Other
City.

Albany. y. Y, Aug. 5.-A unique phase
Of the souvenir postal-card craze has Just
been brought to the attention Of the STATE
lunacy commission, and though the Incl
dent is Of a serious character, it is also
ludicrous in its way.
One Of the most obstreperous OF the
male patients in the insane hospital at
Mlddletown. a patient sent from Rockland
County, wao had caused the attendants
much trouble there recently, effected his
escape from confinement. despite the close
watch which the guards kept over him.
The attendants connected with the In
stitution started hunt for the fugitive
but he is still at large. Trace was first
secured Of him q weel. ago when. as
he va about TO leave a town where he
had been for at least a day, he sent the
AIiddletown Hospital people a souvenir
postal OF the town.
Since that time the patient has contin-
ued to send along souvenir postals from
his stopping places, being sure never to
drop the cards in the box until he was
ready TO take his departure for pastures
new. Needless to remark. the Iunatic has
the puFsuers pretty well exasperated.

MISS EVANS NOT A NEGRESS
North Carolina Jury Decides I'm
usual Case in Three Minutes.
Graham Family Marches Past Jurors
Attributed 10 Grudge.
Special to The washington Herald.

Special to The Washington Herald.
Asheville, n. c.. Aug. 5.-The case OF
sixteen-year-oId Mary Evans versus the
school board Of Swain County, which has
attracted widespread attention, owing to
the prominence Of the families involved,
has been decided in favor Of Miss Evans.
The jury rendered its decision within
three minutes after the conclusion Of the
case. The claim was made against the
plaintiff that she should be debarred
from attending the white schools, it being
alleged that she had negro blood in her
veins.
1t was shown at the trial that Miss
Evans was a direct descendant Of the
families of Graham and Grimes. and that
her ancestors were among the pioneer
settlers Of the State, a number OF them
being weIl-known Confederate soldiers.
It was claimed by the Grahams that this
suit was the result Of spite" and grew
out Of an old grudge held against them
by some OF their neighbors, who based
their claim Of negro blood on the fact
that some Of the Grahams were Of Portu-
guese origin.
There are hundreds Of descendants OF
this family throughout the State, and in
order to forever establish their white su-
premacy Judge Cook ordered that all de-
scendants be made parties to the suit.
Scores Of children, pretty young women.
and aged veterans filled the courtroom,
and were ordered by Judge Cook to
march in line before the jury.
