.TESTIFIES BY EXAMPLE TO
VIRTUE OF OUTDOOR LIFE
Rev. w. A. irwin, Former Soldier and
Circuit Rider, Still In Excellent
Health at the Age of
Nnety-four

Is outdoor life conducive to longev-
ity? SurelyI This is admitted, and
when the question. arises one looks
about to discover object lessons illus
trating the truth of the assertion.
Ninety-four is the age reached by
Rev. w. A. Irwin, who, perhaps, per-
forms more marriage ceremonies than
any other minister in Los Angeles.
The loved associates of his youth are
scattered or called to their final rest,
but still he numbers among his friends
hundreds, yes, thousands, Of other
young persons and Is adding to the
number daily.
Il shake hands with my friends every
day" said the minister, and the greet
ings are always pleasant, for l nave
been extremely fortunate in Launching
young couples on the matrimonial sea,
and the wrecks have been few indeed: "
Rev. Irwin attributes his long lire
and vigorous health to the outdoor life
which he has led during the greater
part of his life. Dressed In long frock
coat, closely buttoned, with black tie
and spotless linen, he is the picture OF
the old time preacher. Tall and straight
in spite of the century that has almost
passed over his head, he resembles the
ideal veteran.
And he is both. 81 don't think you
will amount to much with your ideas,
said his Scotch-Irish father, but l am
willing to purchase for you a comInis-
sion as second lieutenant in the British
army"
Just what I want" said the son, and
he took UP the standard of King George
", becoming a first lieutenant one
week before the coronation of Queen
Victoria. Stories of the new world ana
restless disposition forced him, not
unwillingly to cross the ocean, and IN
1889 he was a prominent figure in the
French Canadian war. His studies in
the old country had fitted him for the
ministry, and when he reached Yer
mont in 1849 and became a citizen OF
the United States, he at once took up
the work of a circuit rider. Winter
and summer, into the Businesses of for
ests and mountains, he rode, carrying
cheer and contentment to the far-scat-
tered families.
Then came the stirring days OF 81
and the old fire burned in his veins. He
almost begged to be taken into the
army, and when his resquests were de-
MED on account of age, he gathered a
number of recruits at his own expense
and became Captain Irwin of company
I. Twelfth New York cavalry. He
served three years and seven months
again taking up his ministerial duties
at the close of the struggle.
Nine years ago Rev. Irwin came 10
Los Angeles, and for three years mas
occupied the little den-like room at the
corner Of Temple and Buena vista
streets. my declining years" he says,
0are happy because L am helping to
make others happy and the dancing
light in his eyes-he does not wear
giasses-proves what he says is true

TO FIGHT PROPOSED MEASURE
RESPECTING ELECTRIC WORK

The draft of an ordinance has been
suhmitted to the city council under
which it is proposed to impose a license
on and require bond from all persons,
firms or corporations operating or in
stalling electric light plants or wires.
IT is charged by those who are op-
posed to such a measure that the pro-
posed ordinance originated at meet
ing Of a. few electrical contractors and
supply men, and that it's intent is to
restrict competition and raise the price
of material. They are circulating pos
tai cards of protest to be signed and
sent to the councilmen by those who
do not believe in the suggested legis-
lation. ~.
