1t was in the spring of the year in
1894 that all London was Interest ed
and the fashionable world dismayed,
by the murder of the Honorable Ron
aid Adair under most unusual and in
applicable circumstances. The public
has already learned those particulars
of the crime which came out in the
police investigation. but a good deal
was suppressed upon that occasion,
since the case for the prosecution was
so overwhelmingly strong that it was
not necessary to bring forward all the
facts Only now. at the end of nearly
ten years, am J allowed to supply those
missing links which make up the
whole of that remarkable chain. The
crime was of interest in itself, but
that interest was nothing to me com
pared 10 the inconceiVable sequal which
afforded me the greatest shock and
surprise of any event in my adventur-
Gus life. Even now, after this long in
terval, / find myself thrilling as

that sudden flood of joy, Amusement,
and incredulity which utterly sub
merged my mind Let me say to that
public which has shown some interest

lips, which was only withdrawn upon
the third of last month.
1t can be imagined that my close
intimacy with Sherlock Holmes had in
terested me deeply in the crime, and
that after his disappearance l never
failed to read with care the various
problems which came before the pub

And I even attempted more thar
once, for my own private satisfaction
to employ his methods in their solu
ton. though with different success
There was none, however, which APP

shown that, after dinner on the day Of
his death, he had played a rubber OF
whist at the latter club. He had also
played there in the afternoon. The
evidence of those who had played
with him-Mr. Murray, Sir John Har-

play Back to Methuselah" which pic
lures the human race of men far past
the century mark who have attained
to great serenity and wisdom and free
dom from passion, but stin retain
their health.
That is what Metchnikoff believed
men will become In an acute study
of The Nature of Man" he showed
that the human body contains many
"disharmonies." as he called them.
That is, as a machine it does not work
perfectly, with the result that it breaks

whole body he pointed out. because
it is not suited to digest the food Of
civilization. But it is perfectly pos
sible for both the food and the digest
i've tract to be adjusted so that this
poisoning may be overcome. Metchni-
koff devoted most of his life to this
problem, and these researches are
still being carried on by his associates
in the Pasteur Institute.
Improving the Human Machine
Meantime, science has discovered
more and more ways in which it may
! perfect the human body as a working
! machine. 1t has been found that the
| ductless glands. which were formerly
/ not understood at all, control almost
all phases of human development, and
| ii looks as though a perfect under

| possible the almost indefinite pro-
! longation of human life, barring acct
! dent. In fact, DR.. H. P. Friedenbcrg
Of New York told the Pennsylvania
! Medical Sosiety that man with a per
/ feet endocrine system might live for
| ever.
At the same time psychoanalysis
has laid bare the causes of many of
the mental and nervous disharmonies
which destroy men. 1t has come to
seem possible that much nervous di,
sease and insanity may be prevented
! by proper mental hygiene begun in
childhood.
When one considers what science
has done in the comparatively few
years that il has existed. it takes Nc
great imagiation to realize that Der
nard Shaw's vision of a race of meT
living to be $50 years of age or more
is not wholly fanciful. 1t is quite pos

Looking About Town

Despite all indications of continued
business in activity in many lines,
Richmond merchants evidently are an
ticipating a Christmas business that
may average well with former years in
the volume of transactions. The
Christmas shoppers who do not wait
until the final days of the rush, al
ready are to be found in Richmond
stores and with the coming Of the first
days of the Christmas month, there
will be a constantly increasing stream
Of buyers up 70 Christmas eve The
displays already made show that the
merchants without exception have en-
deavored to present 10 their patrons
the varied assortment of Christmas
merchandise that is demanded and a
comparison of prices with those Of
last year and the year before, shows
a decline that is in keeping with the
times.
And speaking Of Christmas, it prob
ably is generally realized that the hol-
iday this year falls on Sunday. The
Christmas celebration proper will be
held on this day, but il is likely that
with precedent to govern. Monday the
26th will be observed also as a gen
eral holiday.
According 10 the views OF dealers IN

has prevailed during the last year

The Washington Conference.

Without the cooperation of Amer
lea the world will fall in ruins. But
America could not-perhaps it did
not want to-save the world before
creating conditions which may elm
mate every danger Of war in that
sphere in which she is most inter-
ested-the far east. After elimina-
tion of this danger, from the four
power pact, America can now ap-
proach Europe for the purpose of
putting in order her financial prob
lens. 1t would be no surprise if.
after the successful ending of this
conference, another conference would
be convoked for the limitation of land
armaments and the settlement of the
urgent questions under which Europe
is harassed and which are the cause
of the tremendous deadlock in the
whole trade world.
America and England are free to
take into their hands the reins of the
world. England has hurried
to settle the Irish question SO there
may be no difficulties between her
and America when they both start
business in Europe.-Hrvatski Gl Is

In the Senate he was very popular,
and had the respect and confidence of
the progressive element of the repub-
lican party, as well as that of the
conservatives. Among the important
pieces Of work he accomplished while
in the Senate was the codification of
the judicial code and the criminal
code of the United States. He was
particularly interested in framing a
federal workmen's compensation act,
and largely under his guidance a bill
of this character was drafted and
passed by the Senate and the House.
1t failed to become a law, owing to
the opposition of several senators in
the short session before the Will
son administration came into power.
After that the control of the Senate
passed into democratic hands
Senator Sutherland has the faculty
of thinking clearly and expressing
himself with equal clearness. His
speeches in the Senate were always
given attention by his fellow SEN
ators. He grasps quickly the essen
tials of any proposition laid before
him. He is tall, dark, hair and beard
now turning gray. He is dignified,
kindly and not at all inclined to
thrust himself into the spotlight. In
fact. he avoids publicity rather than
courts it, which cannot be said of
many men in public life.

The Spirit of the People.

The good people Of Utah are alert
and forehanded, as they should be.
They are on the job. Noting the fact
that the President is figuring on trip
which will take him across the con.
tinent next summer. they have al
ready invited him to make stop at
Salt Lake City, and he has condition
ally accepted. II he goes, he stops.
The trip depends on Congress If Con-
gress adjourns early he will be able
to leave Washington.
This will be copied by the good peo-
pie of the other states on the line Of
the Presidents itinerary. He will re-
ceive other invitations to stop, and
will, of course. accept them. He has
abundant good nature. and responds
readily to friendly advances.
The President would not care for
these manifestations Of interest If he
did not know that they are attribute
BILE in part to the office he holds. 1t is
the chief executive of the United
States as well as the very agreeable
man Harding the people have in mind.
And maybe it would pay those agi-
tators scurrying around from place to
place abusing the country and it's in
stitutions and decrying the men in
authority to take notice of these dis
plays Of hospitality. Interpreted in
the right way. they are very instruc-
tive. They show the respect and at
tachment the people feel for the coun-
try and those they elect to conduct its
affairs, and are a sort of warning to
those who do not share that feeling.
This signing up Of the President
six months in advance is assurance
that the true American spirit still
holds and is in no danger of change
or abatement.

Watterson as a Washingtonian.

To many Of the elder 'Washingto-
mans, Henry Watterson. who died in
Florida the other day, was a familiar
and affectionately regarded friend. To
them he was not merely the journalist
Of fame, or the political factor Of force.
Born In this city, he always regarded
it with warm feelings. He was in
terested in it as Washington, his early
home, and as the National Capital.
He had seen it's slow growth in the
difficult days before the war. He had
visited it many times after he went to
Kentucky. During his congressional
career he made it his official home.
Afterward he was fond Of returning,
whenever occasion permitted, and
when he came he rejo!ced In converse
with his old friends and with new
ones who were proud to make his ac-
quaintance. 1t was always gratifying
to The Star that Col. Watterson re-
garded this as his "home paper" for
which he had rendered the reportorial
service which started him on his ca
reer as newspaper man. In his
work at Louisville he was never alien.
ated from this old association with
the capital, and in his comments upon
affairs, pitched in the vigorous key
that became tradition in newspaper
and political circles. he wrote with
understanding Of the city and its
meaning and its place in American
affairs. In his death Washington
loses one Of whose success 1t has been
proud, and in whose career 1t has been
keenly and sympathetically interested.
