When Weston was youth of TWEEN
ty-fVe he conceived the notion that it
was possible for a human being to
walk a hundred miles in twenty-four
hours without physical injury. Forth
with he walked from Philadelphia to
New York, ninety-six miles from city
hall to city hall, in % hours and
40 minutes. That was away back
in 1868, when many thousands of
men were doing a great deal of walk
ing in the south and also doing a great
deal of kicking because the walking
made them weary, not to speak Of foot
sore. An army Of men with Weston's
walking powers could have marched
fast enough to outmaneuver any en-.
envy Of ordinary marching ability. But
there was only one Weston.

W. live hundred years! At the
end of the hundred years be
able to beat the walking rec.
ord you made at the age of twenty
five, which was a world beaten itself!
And be healthy, happy and hearty all

Such is the preachment Of Edward
Payson Weston-"Weston, the walk
1st'-who is now somewhere between
Portland, aIe., and Chicago trudging
over the same distance and route that
he walked just forty years ago. Mr..
Weston is not walking 1926 miles in
thirty days, less Sundays, just for a
freak. He is not doing it for his
health either. He is footing it from
Portland to Chicago to prove his theo-
~ Of health and longevity. He pro-
poses to show forth to this canting and
critical world, this doubling and dys-
peptic race, this pampered and puerile
civilization, that drugs and dumbbells
are denominations unto the Lord; that
feet should take the place Of physic
and legs should eliminate athletics.
In other words, Mr.. Weston believes
that If folks would walk a few miles
every day, anywhere from five to
twenty, they would keep in good health
and hang on to life, liberty and the
pursuit Of happiness like the old one
boss shay, which ran a hundred years
to day, or words to that effect.

A Medicine For Human Ills.

But Edward Payson Weston, who
took part in many of these long dis
lance walking matches and won them,
has stuck to walking right up to the
present day as the serious business of
his life. A year ago last May, just
to prove that he was not an old man
in spite of his sixty-eight years and
his gray hairs, he started from the
Philadelphia city hall and walked to
New York in twenty-three minutes
less than his record made in 1863. He
did not do this for fun-not at all.
He did it for love-the love Of his
philosophy Of life, which makes walk
ing exercise medicine for all human
Ills, to be taken if possible for pre-
vention, though also guaranteed to
cure most ills. The Philadelphia city
hall Of today being four miles farther
from the end Of the route in New York
than was the city hall in 1863, the
Weston of sixty-eight years, therefore,
made 100 miles in % hours 26 min
utes, beating the performance of the
Weston of twenty five years ago not
only in minutes, but in miles.
And after finishing his hundred miles

Henry B. Prewitt, Kentucky commissioner, in
his opening address said the main object of the
meeting to arrive at equitable valuation
for taxation purposes of the securities held by the
earious companies The association at a previous
meeting had decided that for the present year the
securities should be assessed their valuation in
December, 1906, and also that the 1906 vaulation
should govern in determining whether the COM
panies were giving their depostors the security
required by the laws of the various states.
It had been recognized he said, that TO value
securities at their present market price would
force the total below the legal requirements and
compel further accumulation Of reserves retire

course IS thought to be unfair. because the pres

MAYOR Mcclellan has not yet received the Doull
Sunday observance ordinance passed by the alder
men on Tuesday. Whethe: he would sign Il to-
day SO that performances might be given Sun
day within the limit of the ordinance, he
would not say. AS he usually goes to his Prince
ton home Friday afternoon and is seldom at
his office Saturday the chances are that unless
he signs II to-day the new ordinance will not be
acted upon until Monday.
The Mayor has not received any requests for
hearing the ordinance. AS it was framed with
the knowledge of himself and the Corporation
Counsel, the inference IS that he will sign II when
it arrives Commissioner Bingham has announced
that he inteids to obtain a copy of the law as
