u Is startling evidence OF the effect Of
improved sanitary methods that where
the average age at death Of persons dying
in 1876 was 10 years, IL IL now ~ The
usual length Of life has been doubled, ac-
cord.ug 10 some figures compiled by mu-
uicipal engineering, which show the above
result IN Chicago, between 1870 ana 1906
and q reduction Of the death rate from
23SC per thousand to H.fl. Yer thst latter
figure Is very high, compared with 90 In
st. Paul ia 1906
The greatest saving OF i,fe by civic
cleanliness is, as might naturally be eN-
peCted, among children under ) years Of
age Wher- there were 35j TO the thou
sand dying iu 1890 in the whole United
States thc-, were only 30S In 1900. Better
the general advance in medical science
are great ftctors IN this result, which
goes w4thoul saying but II s also re-
markable that the reduction in deaths
continues up TO the age or 81. From that
time on, there is a great proportion Of
deaths. which Is natural, as people must
die some um,
Some tlnlid persons have suggested that
the strenuous life OF today is killing off
the human race and pointed TO the great
er frequency or deaths above 81 years Of
that some Of those lives saved under 50
years must be ended after passing that
age but that is not the only evidence on
the question. Ia 1875 only 81 per cent. Of
those who died had reached the age OF
G0, while iu 1905 the percentage above that
axe was 1876. There were as many persons
over 50 years old in 1905 as there were
over 60 in 1875. IL IS a marvellous record
Within a quarter or a century persons
over 70 have become as common as those
over ~ used 10 be.
II the active life has had any Injurious
effect upon the vitality OF the people that
influence must have been more than over
come by greater knowledge, wisely ap-
piled. II S. certainly open 20 dispute
whether Increased intensity OF life has
had any tendency to shorten longevity.
on the contrary, that disposition may
have prolonged he existence OF the peo-

MILLIONAIRE OWNER
 Il PASO REALTY DEAD

FL PASo, Texas, May 16.-Colonel Frank B. Cotton is dead at his home in Boston. Mass.
 Judge w. B. Merchant of this city who has been Colonel Cotton's attor- ney for the last fourteen years, re- ceiyed a telegram yesterday morning announcing his clients death, which occurred Saturday.
 Colonel Cotton was the owner of Cotton addition to the city of Fl Paso. He purchased the property while on a visit here in 1881, but never saw it again. The tract, which contains ap- proximately 500 acres lying along the east edge of Fl Paso and extending rom Highland park on the north to the Rio Grande on the south, is valued It about s1 100000. but has never been placed on the market
 The principal reason why the Cotton addition has never been opened to set .lers is that it was in litigation al- most all the time from it's purchase by Colonel Cotton until about a year ago. Moves Rand and Samuel Cort md the latter's heirs were the prin- eipal litigants against Colonel Cotton. and he, through his attorney. Judge Merchant, bought them out in the spring of last year.
 Since settling the litigation Colonel Cotton was not in strong enough phy- sicai condition to come to Fl Paso and have the tract put on the market, but 1t is believed now that his relatives, who will fall heir to the property, will soon have 1t cut up into town lots and sold. Colonel Cotton was a bachelor. but leaves three brothers and two sis ters who will become owners of all his property. He was about 56 years of age.
 Colonel Cotton was worth several million dollars. He ran the American Tube Works, one Of the largest manu- featuring establishments in Boston. The Cotton family is rated at about s50.000, ,O00.
 The opening for settlement of the Cotton addition will be a great thing for Fl Paso Its lying as it is causes a great gap in the residence section of Fl Paso, extending clear across the east side of the city. the building up of which will perfectly unite the city proper and East Fl Paso and make indeed Greater Fl Paso"
