DO WRONG FOR MONEY.

For money, the religious papers
which carry patenc-medicine adver-
tisements prostitute their columns;
when the balance of profit points the
other way, they will clear their COL
umns up. Here is one place where
the means of reform is simple, sure,
and direct Mr.. Charles Hughes OF
Jellico, Tennessee, knows it. He sent
this letter to the religious paper
which has been coming to his family:

Gentlemen-When my subscrip-
ton to the Standard expires, please
discontinue same, as l do not care

paper supposed to be published in the
interest of the Christian religion and
for the lettering, the uplifting, and
educating of the people should de-
scend SO low as to endorse and car

LONGEVITY CENTERS.

Before DR.. Osler says the last word
about the antique and the useless. it
might be we'll to inquire if longevity,
as habit, is increasing in the United
States. There is no lack of Grand
Old Men, of one sort or another, oc-
cupying the seats of the mighty. Mr..
Cannon at seventy still stands with
all the patness of boyhood, and Mr..
Rockefeller, who counts himself
young man, aspires to surpass the
age of Methuselah in the doing of
good works. Passing lightly over
the celebrated longevity of the SEN
ators from New York State, one
might survey the country in general
with view to determining, if pos
sible, what is the Old Age Centre of
the United States. A hamlet not far
from Philadelphia claims an average
longevity of eighty-seven years, and
can show the records of Old Pop
Turner, who lived to an age varying
between 10Y and 40, depending upon
the sobriety and temperament of
your guide. San Diego, California,
puts in claim to the longevity ban
ner under the plea that the climate
is so healthful that people Gust can't
die" there. In colony of New York
Shakers, there is collection of old
people of fabulous, but unrecorded,
age. A cowboy once claimed that
Sun-up Sam, Piute Indian, was I3o
years old, the oldest living man. "But
how can you prove it?" asked
sceptic. Give knowed that Injun for
seven years, summer and winter"
said the cowboy, "and he's been pow
erful old all that time" Although
this editorial is based but slenderly
on statistics, we should be seriously
indebted to such readers Of Golfers
as, in spirit of local pride, might
tell us where the real Longevity Cen
tire of the United States is to he
found. The authentic record is held
in England by Old Parr, who died
in 1886 at the age of I52 and now oc-
cupies a niche in Westminster Alb

Four Women Braved the Hardships
With DR.. Shaw's Party.

PHILADELPHIA, September 25-Dr
Charles J. Shaw, professor of biology in
the MedYco- Surgical College. has returned
from a three months trip spent in battling
with the unpathed Selkirk mountains, in
British Columbia
Four women were In the party and four
men, besides Dr. Shaw. The women
shared the toll Of the men-the long miles
Of fatguing tramp!ng through underbrush
and the muscle-tiring climbing.
All save one were teachers with little pre-
vious mountain experience. The excep-
ton was Miss Caroline Romes of the staff
of the New York botanical gardens and a
teacher In the Newark High School.
She made a previous trip with one OF
DR. Shaw's parties. The other women of
the party were Miss Emma Shipe, a teach
er in the schools OF Sunbury. Pa; Miss
Marv lobe of New York city. teacher in
the schools there. and Mrs. Bayard Fuller
of New York.
Clad In corduroy skirts, they buckled
their packs on their shoulders in the morn

tains where every step was made by cut

thick brushes which spread a restraining
network about them. they were ever at the
side of the men. They carried a silk tent
with them, and when the rain poured on Its
roof and the ground beneath them was cold
they wrapped themselves little tighter
in their blankets. and slept the sleep Of
the physically weary.

Trustees Get More for Building Fund
of st. John the Divine.

NEW YORK, September 25.-At the regu-
lar monthly meeting of the trustees OF the
Cathedral of St John the Divine, which was
held yesterday afternoon at i13 West 10th
street, the building committee announced
that 1t had received notification Of legacies
Of $4,000 and 5000 respectively. which Will
be added to the general building fund. Sew
eral smaller gifts reported, among
them piece of Point de Venise lace from
the Rev. Walter Mitchell.
Resolutions of sympathy were sent to the
family of Daniel Willis James of this city,
who died Sentenber 20 at Breton Woods
n. H. Mr.. James in his lifetime gave $50
600 to the cathedral. and Bishop Potter
commented at some length on the catho-
icity of spirit which prompted him to dis
play generous an interest in the projects
of a church of which he was not a men,
Der.
An agreement has been made between the
building committee of the Cathedral OF ST
John the Divine and GutZon Borgum, the
sculptor, about the statues made by the
latter. The committee has given orders
that the seventy-fve or so pieces Of stat
uary already in place a the cathedral shall
be taken down and altered 50 as to con-
form exactly with the original models fur
nished by the sculptor.
Mr. Borglum said yesterday that he had
been able to arrange matters satisfactorily
and much pleased with the way things
had turned out.
THE statues that are In the cathedral
now he said. can be touched up and i'm
proved without much difficulty. The stat
ues that are yet to be made, l am assured
viii! be handled by skilled workmen only
There never has been any misunderstand-
ing, as far as l am concerned. in regard to
what should be done with the statuary
"All l wanted was proper stone cutting.
and that is what the authorities have agreed
to furnish OF course. l shall continue to
serve as cathedral sculptor under the new
arrangement.
The Rev. DIR W. T. Huntington chairman
of the committee on fabric. refused to dis
cuss the incident further than to say that
the committee felt satisfied that the disa-
greement was ended and that there would
be no more trouble in the future.

CAR CRoWDING.
Public Service Agents Recommend
More Trains

NEW YORK, September 25.-Yesterday' s
session in the public service investigation
was devoted to a further considera ton of
the overcrowdng of the various elevated
and subway lines in rush hours. as OBJ
served on three days last August by repre-
sentatives of the public service commission.
David l.. Turner, engineer in charge of
that part of the work for the commission
showed by blueprint charts that the run
ming of seven-car trains in rush hours in
stead of five-car trains would take care of
nearly all of the standees at that time.
On the Sd avenue elevated the situation
is more difficult. In the morning traffic
from to o'clock there Is a deficiency of
2O21a cars from the number that would be
required to carry the standees, beginning
at the 149th street station and extending TO
the 9th street station. Mr.. Turner's blue
prints showed the eveGng deficiency to be
274 cars at 42d street between and 7
o'clock. On the 9Th avenue line the morn
ing deficiency at Goth street was observed
to be 80 cars between Z and 3 o'clock. and
at 50th street. between and o'clock at
night, matter of 81 more cars was needed
in order to carry all the standees.
