before leaving Europe purchased the
latest instruments designed by these
noted scientists. DR.. Craig also stud
led with Professor Carl Won Noorden,
Vienna, Professors Paul Lazarus, Bic
KEEL Bergel and Kraus, of Berlin.
DR.. Walter has been using the rad
io-active substance produced at DR..
Wallis laboratory in his hospital In
Philadelphia and the therapeutic ac-
ton has been observed by DR.. Craig
and they are both convinced that the
substance has distinct therapeutic
properties not possessed by radium OBJ
tanned from laboratories abroad.
The Doctors, after dining at the
Sea Side, took a late train to Philadel-
phia. Mr.. VIM. B. Loudenslager,
postmaster of Atlantic City, was a
guest at the dinner.

ldulSo VI IuS NldHSC, was SiSoVAy Ch-
joyed by all.
A splendid evening of pleasure was
the vote of each member present.
Another debate which in all proba-
bility will cause much merriment will
be given at the next meeting, Tuesday
evening, March 9th. "Votes for Wo-
men" is the topic, and was selected
by Secretary Hagerthy, who has put
forth every effort to make these de-
bates a source of merriment to all
and the Changers are greatly appreci-
ating his ability in this line.

RED MEN PLANNING
BIG DEMONSTRATION.

Representatives from nearly every
tribe of Red Men in Atlantic county
attended the meeting of Kinewaugha
Tribe of Pleasantville Thursday night,
when it was decided to hold a parade
and demonstration here on Saturday
evening, March 27. An invitation
was sent to all the tribes to send rep
resentatives and they did, and they
are most enthusiastic over holding
the parade and demonstration for the
purpose of rexiving the interest in
the organization of Red Men in South
Jersey. 1t has been many years since
a Red Mems parade has been held in
Pleasantville and Great Senior Saga
more J. Milton Burdge, who will be
the Great Sachem within two months,
is DESTROYS of meeting all the tribes
in Atlantic county and he is taking an
active hand in the work and will see
that the State officers and other prom
inent Red Men are on hand to make
it one of the biggest demonstrations
the order has ever held in South Jer-
sey. 1t was decided to invite all the
tribes in Camden, Gloucester, Cape
May, Burlington and Ocean counties,
and at the rate the interest is being
taken it would not be surprising If full
ly so tribes participate. 1t was de-
cided to offer a number of prizes so
that the paraders will have something
to compete for. The committee IN
charge is very enthusiastic over the
proposition and all the city officials
have promised to give a helping hand
to arouse the good old city of Pleas
antville, which has taken on a new
lease of life since being Incorporated
as a city. Pleasantville needs progress
and there is a strong bid being made
now to have it and it looks as though
there is going to be a big time in the
suburb of Atlantic City.

UNHEALTHY LIFE IN CITIES
Statistics Show That DweIlers in "HU-
man Bee Hives" Have Shortened
Days of Existence.

Forty years, will soon be the old age
mark for business men if there does
not come a change in the manner of
living in cities, according to deduc-
tions of DR.. Louis B. Welsmiller, physi-
cal director of the New York West
Side Y. NJ. c. A. These deductions are
based on the examination of more
than 1000 men during the last year.
Notwithstanding all that has been
said about the advantage of a sound
mind in a sound body, the tendency
in large cities. Doctor Welsmiller says,
is to go on demonstrating excessive &C
tivity of mind. The condition is said
to be peculiar to hustling business
men. Observation-Disclosures because of
the campaign against it, has been on
the decrease, while diseases of the
heart, arteries and kidneys which be-
long normally only to old age, have
been on the increase, until there are
more deaths from the latter than from
tuberculosis.
We are told that life is too tense
and this tense condition is allowed to
hold on too long. A more general re-
gard for the advantage of play that
will cause complete forgetfulness of
business is suggested as the only So
luton Of the problem of assuring ra-
tional health conditions.

CzARINA ESCAPED THE CROWD
Unwelcome Popularity Forced Wife of
Monarch to Climb Ladder When
Recognized.

The cZarina's popularity in Russia
has been enormously increased since
the war on account of the work that
she has been doing for the Russian
Red Cross.
1t is interesting to recall that her
majesty once had an extraordinary ex-
perience for a royal parsonage while
on visit TO Germany She was out
shopping one day, attended only by
one lady companion. and she had
hoped TO remain unrecognized by the
people. While she was making some
purchases in a jewelers. shop, how
ever, the news of her identity got
abroad, and in very few moments
there was a large crowd outside the
premises.
Exit through the front door was out
of the question, so the czarina asked
the jeweler to let herself and her com
panion out of the back of the shop.
The jeweler replied that that was
impossible, as the back yard was in
closed by a very high boarding which
would effectually cut off their re-
treat.
THAT does not matter" said the
empress. Get a ladder and we will
climb over it,"
A ladder was brought and the car
ina and her companion rushed up it,
climbed over the boarding. jumped into
qSiet street, and made their es-
cape as quickly as they could.
A minute later the jewelers. shop
window was smashed to- atoms by
the surging and excitable crowd.-Re-

New Tax Law.

The monthly report OF Secretary
of State Stuart F. Reed. filed IN the
State Auditors office, shows that 1O2
corporations operating in West Vir-
ginia dissolved and surrendered their
charters during the month OF June.
and in addition 10 corporations de-
creased the amount of their capital
stock. To Offset the loss occasioned
by the withdrawal of the corporations,
81 charters were issued to resident
and nonresident corporations and six
concerns increased the capital stock.
The new corporation laws increasing
the annual license taxes paid by cor
porations are generally held to be re-
sponsible for the unusually large num-
Der OF dissolutions. The receipts of
the office OF the Secretary OF State
for June were S5,6747S, OF which
1888 was from corporations and
