But, say, I've got a sister that is 97, and she milks her own cows and does her own chores. But that's nothing. My wife had grandmoth- CT that lived to be 11s, and when she was 10S she could carry a pail of water on her head. Yes. I've got great-great-grandchildren old enough to get married"

Plot 10 Burn the Buildings Dis covered Just in lhe Nick of
 Time
OPPOSITION IS STRONG
In Some Quarters 10 the International Exhibition = Industries Of Other Nations Will Be Displayed,
 Also Those of Ireland.

London, April 20.-Remarkable rumors of plots to burn down tie buildings of the International exhibi- tion opening in Dublin May 4, which however are said to have been dis covered in time to frustrate them are published in the afternoon papers here to-day. The plots are attributed to the advanced political sections in Ireland, which. admittedly, are vio- lently opposed to the International exhibition, claiming that it would be unfair to Ireland to display the pro ducts of the highly developed indus tries of other nations in competition with native productions which are not highly perfected.

DEMOCRATIC
 PLATFORM It Will Have Some New Features If the NebraSkan Rules
 Convention RAILROAD QUESTION Platform Will NOt Demand the AbSO- lute Government Ownership of Railroads :. Other Sugges.
 lions Offered.
RAILROAD QUESTION

Chicago, April 20.-A dispatch to the Record-Herald from Omaha says: The democratic national platform of 1908, if w. J. Bryan controls the convention will not demand absolute government ownership of the rail- roads. This was authoritatively an- nounced yesterday by James c. Dahl man, national committeeman from Nebraska. The statement is in the nature of an official announcement for the reason that MT Dahlman is in close touch with MT Bryan and re- gently has been in conference with him over the plans of the forthcom- ing campaign. From the same source it is stated that tariff reform will again become dominant feature of the platform.
 The platform. according to MT Dahlman already has been mapped out and will contain some radical changes from the document adopted in 1904. Dahlman says the promi- nent blanks in MT Bryan's declara- tion of principles will concern trusts, the tariff, state regulation and mon. ey, the railroad ownership plank, of course, being conspicuous by its ab- sence.
 The platform will define the ne- cessity for and proper use of money contributed for running campaigns
 Usurpation of power by the presi- dent also will be made strong point.
 Government economies will receive the usual attention and halt will be demanded in naval extensions.
 No overtures of any sort are to be made to the populists, beyond gen. |eral invitation directed to all class es to join forces with the democratic party in an effort to enforce the prin- ciples proclaimed and demanded in the democratic faith.

UNIFORM NO PROTECTION.
Soldier Has Only Same Rights as
 Other Good Citizens.

Providence, R. l., April 20.--Chiet Yeoman Fred J. Buenzle, who was barred from a dance hall in Newport because, as he claims, he was wear ing the uniform of the United States navy, can recover at law only the price of his admission ticket, accord, ing to a decision handed down by William H. Sweetland, chief presid- ing officer of the Rhode Island SUI perior court. The decision, which is long and which overrules the demur- rers raised by the defendants, says the legal rights of man wearing the United States uniform are not different from those of any other well behaved person who possesses a ticket of admission to any place of amusement.
 Judge Sweetland rules that Buen- gle, excluded because he was wear ing naval uniform, is in no differ ent position legally from one who Is excluded because he is not in even- ing dress or for any other reason, though it may have been but the whim of the defendant. The motives of the defendant are held as imma- terial In other words, the judge said, the proprietors of q place of amusement are not under any Obli- gations to admit any person whom they may choose to exclude.
 The suit was brought against the Newport Amusement association, proprietors of dancing pavilion at Newport. from which Buenzle claims he was excluded last September, be- cause he was wearing a naval uni form. The management rendered to him the 25 cents he had paid for his ticket, but Buenzle immediately brought suit for damages. He was given financial support by naval off, cers stationed at Newport, and Presi- dent Roosevelt sent check to help defray the expenses of prosecuting the suit.
 The court holds also that the action is not properly one for damages for the wrongful exclusion of the plain tiff, but is an action for breach of contract, because of the failure of the defendants to carry out the contract they made when they sold the ticket. This covers only the recovery of the admission price and the expense iE- cured in attempting to obtain admis- sion to the pavilion.
 On the breach of contract phase of the case the demurrers of the defend ants are overruled and they are or dered to plead on or before April 30.
