Opposed to the prevailing notion, the

that a man jumping from high build

died in mid-air from intense fright or

June 6. 1900. - John Marshall, Sec
retary of State, arrived in the city to
open the offices of the State Depart
ment today All of the other cabinet
members, or their chief assistants,
have come to the new seat of Govern
ment. except Oliver Wolcott, Secretary
of the Treasury. who is expected to ar
rive early next month.
Practically all of the 1876 clerks EN-
ployed by the Federal Government are
now here. They have been arriving
on various dates, coming from Phila-
delphia by stage or private conveyance
Their expenses have been paid out OF
the appropriation voted by Congress
for the removal Of the Government Of
fees and archives. 1t Is estimated that
the entire cost of the removal OF the
Government from its temporary. seat
at Philadelphia to the permanent seat
on the Potomac River will amount to
about $64 1000 or $65.0o0.
Although most of the officials and
clerks have come overland from Phil
adelphia, the departmental records. Of
fice furniture and other equipment
have. for the most part, come on ships
around by Delaware and Chesapeake
Bays and the Potomac River. The
whole constituted no small bulk. Re-
ports that all of the Government ef-
fects could be moved In q single
packet sloop" have proved to be in
correct.
Only one department building has
been erected here. This is the Treas
ury Building at Pennsylvania avenue
and Fifteenth street. It is plain two
story brick building containing so
rooms. The War Department has gone
into lodgings on Pennsylvania avenue
west of Twenty-flrst street, and the
Post Office Department has been
opened In a leased house near Blod-
gett's Hotel, at the corner OF Eight
zenith and E streets.
President Adams has allowed just q
month for the removal of the Govern
ment Offices to this city. In an execu-
tive order issued May is he said.
THE President requests the several
heads of departments To make tho most
prudent and economical arrangements
for the removal of The public offices,
clerks and papers, according to their
own best Judgment, as soon as may be
convenient, in such manner that the
public Offices may be opened in the
City of Washington for the dispatch
of business by the 18th Of June"

Sin makes a black mark when Il

Because Of their bright background,

God does not place any heavier pen-

ciety has q double standard OF morals
one standard for woman and another
for man. Unjust as this Is, no woman
can escape the injustice. In this re-
gard society lis cold and relentless, and
will forever shun the fallen woman.
This Is gtrikingly illustrated by Ma

As Young as He Thinks.

In the face of the gloomy deductions

from the mortality statistics. / believe
not only that there Is no actual increase
In cancer or in heart artery (cardiovas-
cular) diseases, but that In truth these
groups of disease, so prevalent among
adults of mature or advanced age, are
slowly declining in prevalence as knowl-
edge of hygiene or the ways of health
increases among the population at large.
have already admitted that we do not
know enough about cancer or about
cardiovascular diseases to explain them
clearly or to lay down definite rules for
those who would avoid or prevent them.
This does not mean that we know moth
ing about these diseases. Certainly we
know enough about cancer to heed the
warning signals and apply proper treat
ment before the disease reaches an in-
durable stage. Likewise our knowledge
of heart artery diseases, though far from
complete, is sufficient to stimulate any
one who requires such stimulation 10

Longevity is a vascular question, which
has been we'll expressed in the axiom

physiological arterio-sclerosis depends,
in the first place, upon the quality OF
arterial tissue vital rubber which the
individual has inherited, and, secondly
upon the amount of wear and tear to
which he has subjected it. That the
former plays a most important role Is
