LILLIAN RUSSELL TELLS
HOW TO LIVE TO BE 100.

In her most unusual entertainment
in which beautiful kinemacolor pic
lures were shown, Miss Lillian Rus
sell, who, in private life is Mrs.
Moore, pleased her audience in the
Majestic Theatre, Philadelphia, one
night last week, where she delivered
her instructive lecture on How To
Live to be 100 and Die Young"
There was a surprising number of
people there who showed their eager
ness to keep young and to learn how
to be beautiful, and even the men in
the audience seemed to throw off
many years when the beautiful Miss
Russell let them in on the secret
about the 100-year game.
Miss Russell says the normal per-
son sleeps eight hours out of twen-
ty-four, one-third of day, and that
consciousness is entirely suspended
during this time. If you are 100
years old, subtract one-third of the
number of years from them, or the
time spent in sleep, and there you
are-only little past &c., which is
young indeed, for the Bible allows
you the three score and ten.
Many practical methods and il
lustrations for keeping beautiful in
face and body were given by the ac-
tress, but the keynote for success in
this ambition is to keep the mind
beautiful. The clever little "asides'
by Miss Russell in her attractive
manner all during the lecture and
while the pictures were being shown
added much life and interest to the
scheme by which she is popularizing
the subject of physical training and
correct habits of living, dressing and
dieting.
There were wonderful kinemacolor
pictures of flowers, which preceded
the lecture, and pictures of Miss Rus
sell, showing how she spends her
time from the moment she arises un-
til she retires. These pictures, with
beautiful natural scenery in the back
ground, were taken near Los Ange-
les. Many pointed illustrations re-
garding etiquette and good taste in
dress were given.

handicap of being a "ticket of leave
man." Morse found that his post
graduate course in Wall street finance,
taken in the Atlanta penitentiary, did
not hurt his business chances in the
slightest.
The situation is brilliantly illuminat-
ing to the men who for days have been
discussing the case of the prisoner
who went back to Jail for life because
he could not get a chance as an eX-
convict. 1t shows how it all depends
on the man, after all, and that stone

HARRISBURG LETTER

The groundwork has been laid for
the final action in the present legis-
lature for and against equal suffrage
when the Senate Committee on Ju-
dietary General reported to the Sen
ate the Rockwell joint resolution
proposing to submit to the voters of
the state an amendment to the state
constitution so that women may
vote as well as men.
1t was a red letter day in the
Pennsylvania campaign, for 1t seems
that the Pennsylvania Woman Suf-
frage Association has overcome OBJ
stacles which, six weeks ago, the op-
position said were unsurmountable.
1t was brought home to the Senators
of the Committee that the day has
gone by for 'smothering in commit
tee important public bills and
though the Ants worked hard to
have the bill pigeon-holed, the ma
jority of the Senators were unwilling
to permit such reactionary methods.
An important conference was held
at state Suffrage headquarters in the
Arcade building at Harrisburg on
Wednesday of last week, the day af-
ter the Senate Judiciary General
committee held it's open hearing on
the Rockwell resolution. 1t was the
hearing on Tuesday, in fact, which
lead to the conference on Wednes-
day.
The confereeS were the presidents
or their representatives from local
suffrage associations throughout the
state, the chairman of the meeting
being Mrs. Frank M. Roessing, pres
ident of the Pennsylvania Woman
Suffrage Association. The local suf-
frage associations represented at the
meeting are affiliated with or auxil-
iary to the state association of Penn
sylvania.
The meeting transacted little busi-
ness of public Importance, being in
the nature of a clearing house"
where the women could exchange
ideas. The conference began at 10
O'Clock Wednesday morning and end
ed late in the afternoon, the con-
ferees being guests of Mrs. Roessing
at luncheon early in the afternoon.
The women present besides the state
president, were as follows: Mrs. Max
we'll Chapman, of Scranton; Mrs. R.
Hays, of Carlisle; Mrs. e. p Burns,
of Philadelphia; Mrs. Jesse Holmes,
of Swarthmore; Mrs. M. c. Jones, of
Harrisburg; Mrs. X. B. Van Pelt, of
Newhope; Mrs. A. S. Hauck, of Me-
chanicsburg; Mrs. H. Neely Flem-
ing, Of Erie; Miss Mary e. Bake
well, Of Pittsburg; Mrs. Robert K.
Young, of Wellsboro.
Suffragists are continuing to urge
each other to make sure that their
respective Senators are ready to vote
for the Rockwell resolution when it
comes up in the Senate on final pas
sage. 1--WE can only repeat what we
said BEFORE" is the way the situa-
tion is put by Miss Mary Norcross,
Secretary of the Pennsylvania Wom-
an Suffrage association. mo true
advocate of equal suffrage will take
anything for granted. Make sure
that your Senator intends to vote for
the Rockwell resolution. Do not ac-
cept the word of anyone else that he
is prepared to do so, but make it
your business to obtain his promise
personally.

A Winning Combination.

But it is the coastwise trade, with
New York at one end and Panama at
the other end, that chiefly interests the
big folk of commerce.
It is impossible to get the average
man and woman to stand hitched to
any statement that has a technical
ring. They shy from "differentials"
and the 'long and short haul clause"
as though both contained some possi-
BILE evil But Morse, with his cunning
for trade, knows that under the tech
nique OF transportation there lies a
pot Of gold greater than that supposed
to be at the foot of the rainbow and
"blawsted sight more tangible and
possible of development.
But few months ago the interstate
commerce commission put out beau
tifully illustrated document on freight
rates, with pictures that looked like
the weather map in stormy period or
a flock of typhoid germs having a holi-
day. The statements and the maps
showed how much the roads could add
to the cost Of carrying freight from
New York to various zones on out to
the coast.
With active water competition
through the canal and Morse at the
busy end Of the marine wire, there is
no telling what will happen to the pic
lures with the isothermal lines and to
the operating revenue that is based
upon the zigzag art of the commission.
That is why Morse, the condemned
man, is of such vital interest as he
comes back to live where he had been
scheduled to be occupying a short and
narrow residence by this time.
In spite OF all this, Morse is not a
citizen. He has not the privilege of
the corner bootblack of running around
to the voting stand in the barber shop
and voting for the candidate of his
choice.

The Rev. Hugh Dempsey Wilson, rec
tor of st. Georges Episcopal church,
Passaic, N. J.. announced recently that
he would refuse to marry persons who
could not show medical certificates at
testing their mental and physical fit
ness for Wedlock.
'"The worlds trouble is a vast pyra-
mid whose base is the number of mis-
fit matches and consequent miserable
homes" said DR.. Wilson. "Clergymen
have frequently debased their function
by willingness or eagerness to marry
my one to any one else, whether
known to them or not. If society un.
happily cannot regulate the quantity
of births 1t can Mt least make an hon
est attempt to improve the quality.
81 believe that the church Of which
l am a clergyman will very soon enact
law requiring medical certificates for
marriage and prohibiting the clergy
man from marrying people In the alb
sanea of such certificates"

Finance Interested.

There is intense interest in the finan-
cial district over the return of Morse.
The interest not only extends to finan-
cial circles, but it has q keen angle in
the direction of international politics
which shoots off from the question of
the number of pulse beats Mr.. Morse
enjoys to the minute to a discussion of
the nice points of treaty law and inter-
national agreements relating to the
most important subject known to world
powers-the traffic of the sea.
While this man is under SEN
tence of death, which he politely but
none the less firmly declines to accept
as conclusive, he has been Industrious

Just at the very time when, accord
ing to the doctors, Morse ought to have
been making his last will and tesla

with the marble marker and the sort
of flowers that look best in a subdued
light, to say nothing of the names Of
the pallbearers, active and honorary,

he opened his rolltop desk at No. 43
