LENGTHENING HUMAN LIVES

The present generation of young
people should live 10 years longer
than their parents. The latter lived
15 years longer than did their an
cestors of 100 years previous
At least this is what DR.. V. C.
Vaughn, the new president of the
American Medical association told
that body recently at their Atlantic
City convention.
The death rate was reduced in a
century in Londcn, for instance
from so per thousand to 20, Twice
as many Children live to grow up
now, 1t was formerly quite an
achievement for a young person
to acquire maturity. Smallpox used
to kill one in ten of the population.
Still the ordinary observer Of hu
man life can hardly believe that the
babies Of today are going to gain
any Is years. Diseas IS like cancer,
bright's disease, heart troubles are
increasing. The science Of modern
life saves the infants, but the pace
of human life kills the old folks.
1t is a good deal like a paragraph
seen in some paper the other day.
A youn man was reported as seek
ing a $500 per week increase of

in building up a of resist

Ordinarily he uses it in speeding
up his business pace, so that he can
make more money.
What is needed for q greater

CURIOUS MEXICAN TREES

duces an odd shaped fruit bearing
a close resemblance to green par-

position which makes it look like
the fruit itself. So close is the re-

MYSTERY THAT
Was NEVER SOLVED

Any person having knowledge Of
the whereabouts of Charles Brew
ster Ross. aged fourty-four, will
confer a favor by notifying-al-
most. anybody, anywhere. The
whole civilized world is interested
in the fate of Charlie Ross, who
was abducted forty years ago from
his home in Germantown, Philadel-
phia. Some of the nest detectives
and newspaper sleuths o. the
United States, Canada and Europe
have sought to solve the mystery
Of the disappearance of this four
year-cld boy, but all have failed.
Numberless clues were followed,
and although sone of them shed
light on the motives of the child's
kidnappers, Charlie Ross himself
was never found. Both of his
parents are dead, but other men,
bers Of the family continue to re-
ceive letters relating to the myster-
ious case.
Charles Brewster Ross was the
son of Christian K. and Sarah Ann
Ross, we'll TODD and respected
Philadelphians. On the first of
July 1874, Charlie was playing
with his nine year old brother
Walter, near the Ross hons when
they we're accosted by two men
in a buggy who offered to give
them O ride. The lads were at
first reluctant but when the lure of
candy was held out they could not
resist. After the vehicle had gone
a short distance Walter was given
some money to buy Fourth-of-July
f~re-crackers and was told to get
out. That was the last seer of
Charlie R SIS so far as any certain
knowledge is concerned.
The kidnsppers demanded a an
som of $4,000, making their offer
through newspaper advertisements
and letters. MIR Ross found it i'm
possible at that time to raise the
sum asked but friends and even
strangers offered TO contribute to
The fund. The whole world SYM
pathized with the bereavcd parents
and IL money could have saved
Charlie Ross it would have been
Forthcoming in slmost any amnnnt.
The abductors were frightened by
the storm Of public wrath they had
raised and realizing that they could
not get the money. without risk,
they finally dropped the negotia-
tions. Most Of the communications
we're mailed in Trenton, Newark
and Elizabeth but it was the belief
of the police that the child had
been taken to Canada or possibly
to England. The police Of Canad-
ian aud English cities joined in
the search. Not a day passed with
out IFS clue, and the distracted
father made trips to Cansda,
Europe and California to see boys
Who were thought to be his own.
In the December following

York pirates were shot while en-.
gagged in q burglary in B~rookly0.

A Milo SENSATION

We understand there was quite a
sensation yesterday afternoon dur
ing the hearing of the application
of the Bell Telephone company for
a franchise Though Court Street.
During the examination of E. M.
Steninger and Prof. Anderson it
developed that three of the names
on the protest had not been signed
by the parties but had been written
by either Steninger or Anderson.
This angered Attorney Gedney
who had been informed that all the
signatures to the protest we're gen.
uine and he threw the. paper to-
ward Mr.. Steninger with the re-
mark: "Ge and forge some more
names"
After listening to the statements
of the professionals and the argu-
ments of counsel, the commission
ers concluded to 60 over the ground
this today and interview the
property owners on Court street
and get their opinions at first hand.
From Commissioner Peck at noon
we learned that the board had gone
over part Of the ground in the fore
noon and found that o large ma
iority of the property owners inter-
ested we're not opposed to the COM
pany using Court Street.

~. E. Cosgriff. president Of the
Continental National bank Of this
city. deserves. in our opinion, the
thanks Of the entire inter.mountain
territory on account of bis labor
for the betterment of the wool in.
dustry.
Throughout the clsmor against
the reduction in the wool tariffs,
Mr.. Cosgriff. seeing that the change
was inevitable, devoted himself to q
study of ways and mea by which
the American wool grower might
hold his own. He knew for in
stance, that Australian wool ranked
higher than ours in quality and
that, though sharply discriminst d
against by the old tariff regulations
they had won a firm hold on GER
tain trade of the better sort. It
was obvious that they would have
still greater success under free
trade. and that all foreign woods,
whether good or Indifferent. would
be stronger competitors than ever
they had been before. Supremacy
is now purely a question of produc-
tion cost. freight and quality. {
why should Australian woods
rank higher than ours? Was it
something inherent or was it the
result of superior methods Mr.. Cos
grif determined to find out. He
found that it was partly in the
breeding of the sheep, and partly
in their handling, but that most of
the difference was due to shearing
pen methods. The Australians keep
the pens clean, bale the fieeces in
stead IF tying them, cut off the
inferior parts of each fleece and
bale thnse separa. ely, and they
rigidly classify the whole out. ut.
They are thus able to get a proper
price for the prime por ion of the
feect. while under our system the
coarser wool becomes so intermixed
with the finer, that we are COM
PEELED to sell the whole flee e at
the price of it's courser portion.
He found also that by the use of
traired shcaring crews brought. in
from Australia the system could
easily be established here in it's
n%erfected form during the course
of a single season. He accordingly
brought an expert from Australia
at his W expense and that expert
is informing wonl growers as to the
methods and benefits of the system.
Mr.. Cosgriff is also giving a large
share of his time to the work.
sit is estimated that the use of
the Australian system will so in
crease the quality of the clip and
lessen freight charges as to add
several cents to the price of. wool
sold and will enable ter-mountain
woUls to meet any competition
whatever. We most earnestly urge
every sheep owner to assist in the
establishment of district shearing
Ntations. The first year alone will
repay him.
