WE ARE DYING YOUNGER.

In view of all that has been said
about the fall in the death rate il
seems strange to realize, says Health
Culture, that we are not living so long
as our grandfathers and grandmothers
did
More babies live to grow up nova
days than formerly but people in later
life die younger. Once arrived at adult
age the average man or woman has
fewer years of survival TO expect.
This seems on the face of it so sur
prising a statement that in order to
be accepted it should be backed up by
data authentic and indisputable Such
data are furnished by the figures of
the insurance companies (Which all
agree on the point, but it is easier
to refer to the Government census re.
ports, which tell the tale in simple
and convincing fashion. Even during
the last fifteen years the death rate
among all persons over s. years Of
age of both, sexes has risen very con.
considerably.

OTTO WRITES
ON A STONE

The Sentinel displays in its win
dow today a tablet of stone. carved
by John Otto, the hermit inhabitant
of Monument canon.
The stone contains John Otto's
declaration of human rights, and is
certainly unique if nothing else The
stone, and especially the inscription
upon same has created intense inter
est from hundreds passing by the Sem
tinefs business Office.
Otto must have spent days of la
Dor with crude Instruments to have
carved out his declaration of rights.
The stone is a piece of sandstone
rock and has been polished, SO that
the letters could be cut thereon and
then colored. so as to be read.
Among few of the more import
ant declarations of this man of soli-
tude are the following:
''The story of Adam and Eve, the
snake and the devil, is deception
and deception is bad as lie.
THE virgin birth of Christ, lie
against sex itself.
''The story of the resurrection is
untrue
"He descended to hell and ascend
ed to heaven are insane statements
of unsound minds. He will never
come. In reality He is not there"
These and many more statements
are carved on the stone, which op-
pose doctrines, creeds and inspired
statements.

The attendance at the division en-

high as $4,000 people being in at

The awful electrical storm has ter

difficulty that the men were made
to remain for the remainder of the
encampment
Letters and kilograms by the hun
dreds, inquiring of the welfare OF rel
atives and friends among the mem
bers of the national guard, have been
received at division and regimental
headquarters from all parts of Penn

Old residents of the town adjoin-
ing the battle-ground say that they
have never Witnessed such an cleo
trical storm in their lives. and ii is
the general verdict that nothing like
such a storm has ever besn expert
enced in the state.
The entire camp was panic strick-
en-. The darkness was impenetra-
Bile and the men were wildly running
about thoroughly soaked with water
seeking the injured.
Every tent of battery B was blown
down, but no one in the battery was
hurt.
The regimental guard tent of the
10th regiment was struck by light
ming and 40 men of company C were
badly injured.
The field hospital was filled when
the storm was over and men were ly-
ing about the camp waiting for aid.
The Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation tent, filled with men, was
razed, but no one was seriously in
jured.

Oyster Bay, N. Y. July 24.-Pres-
ident Roosevelt last night announced
in unmistakable terms the determin-
alton of the administration to proceed
with the prosecution of the Standard
Oil case, despite the decision ad
verse to the government handed down
by the United States circuit court of
appeals.
This decision, the president thinks
in no way affects the merits of the
case. and he makes known his decis-
ion to cause the action to be brought
again before the courts in such
shape, If possible, as to prevent tech
nicalities interfering with a decision
based upon the actual issues in
volved.
The statement in the matter made
public last night by Secretary Loeb is
as follows:
"The president has decided to di-
rect the attorney general to take
steps for the retrial of the Standard
Oil case.
The reversal of the decision of the
'rcers court does not in anv shape
or way touch the merits of the case.
except in SO far as the size of the
fine is concerned.
There is absolutely no question
of the guilt of the defendants or of
the exceptionally grave character of
the offense.
The president would regard it as
a gross miscarriage of justice if,
any technicalities of any
kind, the defendant escaped the pun
ishment which would have unques-
have been meted out to any
weaker defendant who had been gull

for me to call the attention of the
people to the efforts now being made
to purchase in this state home for
pioneers, the object of which is to
provide home for those who may
be true citizens or other unfortunate
citizens deprived of such comfort,
commend this home proposition to

Gettysburg, Pa, July 24.-An all
night search throughout Camp Hayes,
where 10000 men of the National
Guard of Pennsylvania have been in
camp for the past week and which
was last night visited by a terrific
electrical and wind storm, shows
that three soldiers were struck dead
dred other persons were injured by
electrical bolts or otherwise hurt.
1t was probably the widest night
in the history of the battle-ground
since the memorable July days of
1868.
The tent which Governor Stuart
occupied was blown down and the
governor and his guard were buried
under the canvas, but otherwise they
were not injured
A tall iron flag staff in front of the
governor tent was struck by light
ming, stunning several members of
the governors stan.
In the case of the men killed, the
new army puttees furnished just be-
fore the men went into camp were
torn from their limbs the steel ribs
being exposed. Some of the officers
believe that the steel attracted the
lightning.
More than 900 tents were blown
down.
There are three divisions of the
Pennsylvania National Guand, with
two battalions of troops and four
batteries.
