Mexico City. Nov. 22.-There is
great difficulty in getting authentic
reports from the disturbed sections.
The censorship is strict and in many
instances the government has taken
possession of the telegraph wires to
the exclusion at least of press dis
patches. In suite of this, direct
wires from Orizaba and Guadalajara,
telling of severe fighting, have been
received. Authorities minimized the
gravity of the situation but gen
eral feeling of uneasiness is felt at
the capital.

NO RULES FOR LONG LIFE
Simple Habits Undoubtedly Tend to
That End, But Cannot Be Re-
lied On.

The majority of the centenarians
have been poor people who led a
very simple life. A few rich men, as
Sir Moses Montefiore. who lived to be
101, have reached very high age.
but they are very exceptional. In
spite of the enormous difference in
numbers of the rich and which makes
comparison difficult, one may never
theless affirm that wealth does not
tend to promote long life. Poverty
carries with it sobriety, especially in
old men, and IL has been settled that
sobriety tends to prolong life, and
that most centenarians have been men
of very sober habits. They have not
all followed the example of the ia
nous Cornaro. who ended by consu-
ming only IL ounces of solid nourish-
ment and IA ounces of wine, and who
in spite OF his poor health lived to
be 100 years old. A nmber of GEN.
tenarians are known indeed to have
been drunkards, as the Surgeon Polit-
man, who died ITO years old in 1895,
and who was In the habit of being
drunk every night after spending the
day performing difficult surgical
operations" Another example is the
Irishman Brown. who lived 120 years
and who had the inscription placed on
his tombstone that he was always
drunk. and while in this state looked
so terrible that even death was afraid
of him." From all this II is seen that
when you are tempted to attribute
long life to certain factor you dis
cover your mistake as soon as you
look into sufficient number of cases.
1t is. nevertheless. certain that a good
constitution and simple habits pro-
mote long life. but there is besides
these some mysterious hidden factor

Retirement of Five-Cent Piece
Would Shock Financiers.
Nickel Stands for More Fixed Values
Than Any Other Single Denomina-
tion, and More Of Them Are
Required by Public.

Washington.-Offlcials of the treas
ury department sometimes discuss
the nations somewhat cumbersome
coinage and make suggestions to one
another that this or that change
might bring relief to the working
forces Of the department. Generally
these discussions do not go beyond
the inner circle where they originate,
no change is made or even suggested
seriously and the work of the mint
goes on as before.
Recently, however, the fact leaked
out that the five-cent piece or nickel
had beon under discussion and that
the government might ask congress to
pass law eliminating 1t from the ma
tional coinage. Small likelihood ex-
lists or ever did exist that such step
would be taken, but for short space
