DISAPPOINTMENT.
N FRANK CASE
MADE CERTAIN
Letter From Dorsey Requests
Judge Roam to Let Argu-
ments Go Over.

A letter received in Atlanta Thurs
Gay from Solicitor Dorsey made GER
tain the postponement of arguments
for new trial for Leo NJ. Frank
which were to have been heard Sat
Urday by judge Roam. -
The letter. minated THAT the So
licltor and his assistant. A. E. Ste
phens, who are now in Valdosta
would not return to this city before
next Wednesday or Thursday. Mr.
Dorsey requested that Judge Roam be
asked to postpone, in addition to the
Frank arguments, hearings on five
other motions which were scheduled
for Saturday. This will clean the So
licitor's slate and will not neces-
sltate his return.
Defense Doesn't Object.
The postponement is wholly within
the discretion of Judge Roam, and the
defense in all probability would inter-
pose no objection, even If it did moi
entirely suit their wishes. It is I'M
derstood, however, that Franks law
yers are satisfied with the delay, as II
affords them time to obtain addition
al evidence of reported bias on the
part Of A. H. Henslee, Marcellus Jo-
henning and one or two other Frank
jurors.

EXCESS OF WOMEN.
Outnumber Men Because They Are
Healthier.

From London Tit-Bits.
The fact that in almost all civilized
countries women Outnumber men mas
been ascribed to the higher birthrate
of girl babies; yet statistics show that
1O5 boys are born to every 100 girls.
According to figures compiled by a
European statistician the girl has a
better chance than the boy Of attaining
maturity.
He finds that from the third to the
fifteenth year the mortality for both
sexes Is the same; from the fifteenth to
the nineteenth year, the critical age
for girls. the girls chances are slight
~ better than the boys: from the
thirtieth year to the thirty-fifth the
mortality among women Is smaller
tnan among men, and it continues
smaller until the SEVENTEEN year.
Then Tor decade and half the sexes
once more have the same chance Of
survival. but above eighty-five years Of
age woman again stands q much bet
ter chance than man.
To account for this difference the
statistician points out that woman has

total of all Presbyterian gifts was $26,-

within the past five years.
1t costs $1s. 1876. 600 to maintain all Pres
byterian churches, but Presbyterians give
generously to missions and other uplift
causes. Their gifts to home missions
last year amounted to 81, 92S.3OO and in
this are included no Kennedy or other
large gifts, which ran into the millions.
The amount makes the Presbyterian
board of home missions the largest home
society in the world in point of income.
Attacked at the last general assembly, it
is indicated by receipts from the
churches greater by $125. 600 than in any
year since 1t was formed.
Other Presbyterian benevolence brings
the total gifts up to about $5.OOO,OOO, or
the largest of any single religious body
in America. Some unity plans are now
under way. but are in danger Of being
halted by the present conditions growing
out of the Cumberland union six years

increase of about 500 In the last four
