As if in this age of beauty culture and perennial youth anybody ever saw such an anomaly as a wrinkled woman.

Benjamia'Disumick, mayor of the city of Scranton, Pa., has been pre- sented to the legislature of Pennsylvania as successor to the Hon. Philander C. Knox, Ira the United States senate, which post will be vacant upon tic° entrance of the senator into the cabinet, of Preaitient-elect Taft, as secretary of state. The proposed candidate is well equipped for the senatorship, because as a statesman, student, and man of affairs he has displayed great abil- ity as a leader of men, and has proven himself the ideal citizen in public service. Mayor Dimmick is a descendant of an ear- ly New England family which has been prorni• nent for generations in the social, political and religious life in whatever community it has chanced to settle. Prior to the announcement of his candidacy for the mayoralty, three years ago, a large petition bearing the names of Scranton's most successful business and professional men. was circulated, urging his making the race, either as an independent candi- date or as representing one of the national parties. It was tinder the Republi- can standard, with which his family's name had ever been connected, that he made his successful campaign. Upon entering office, Mayor Dino:nick signalized the initiation of his promised \business administration\ 'by making his appointments to the im- portant municipal posts strictly in accordance with his own conscience and judgment, though he was always open to wise suggestions, but never to dic- tation. His administration has never proposed a measure to councils which has failed to carry, nor has his veto ever been disregarded, although hitherto the mayors had received little co-operation from councils. During his term in office Scranton's physical needs, such as sewers, streets, bridges, parks, etc., have been adequately supplied, and by practically no increase in the tax rate, through equitable property assessment and through the collection of out- standing indebtedness to the city. HOLDS TEACHING RECORD So far as knosn, Henry W. Clarke, pr'acipal of Lenthal school to Newport, R. I., holds the record \for teaching in the public schools of New England, having recently completed his 60th 3 - ear as a teacher. Though born December 10, 1829, he remains in excellent health, and teaches each day with a vigor that stamps him as a re- markable man. Mr. Clarke enjoys his work, his scholars adore him, and each afternoon children of his schools are seen . walking for blocks at a time With the veteran school teacher, who, during all these years of teaching, has taught thousands of the present grown-ups of Newport. It was through his efforts the mothers' meet- ings, school gardens and other branches for the betterment of the school, the scholar, the teach- er and the parent became prominent in Newport. Born in Jamestown, he became a teacher while attending school at Bridgewater, Mass. He did not take his first formal class, a grammar grade, until 1854. In 1855 he was elected teacher of grade VII. in the old Farewell street school, and in October, 1859, he gave up teaching for commercial life in Providence for some years, but the call of the school bell brought him back to teaching and during Sep- tember, 1862, he was elected principal of Mill street school, where he con- tinued until 1877, when Lenthal school was built, and he became its princi- pal. - He has remained there ever since, without a single day of absence. Mr. Clarke belongs to various societies. His activity aided greatly tire formation of the Teachers' retirement fund of Newport. He is a writer of poems and other works. A REMARKABLE FIGURE James Stillman, who recently relinquished the presidency of the National City bank of New York to Frank A. Vanderlip, is one of the re- markable figures of the financial world. When he was elected to head the City bank, then a minor institution, he was a young man totally without banking experience. He had been left a fortune by his father, and had added to it in the cotton business. He was the youngest of the directors of the City bank when selected as president. When he stepped out of that IXT sition the other day he left the institution the largest, most powerful batik in the world, not even excepting the \Old Lady of Threadneedle Street,\ as the Bank of England is familiarly known. Stillman attracted to the bank the millions of the Standard Oil Co., and made it known as \the Rockefeller bank.\ He brought to it a great share of the United States treasury deposits, and an :immense proportion of .corporation cash. Ile opened a European department in charge of experts, and built up a big business of that type. Known as \the silent Man of Wall street,\ Stillman has not courted pub- flicity in connection with his corporation interests. But he made himself i the superior of his fellow -bankers in the getting, holding and creating of busi- ness, and that with no previous knowledge of the banking business. MUST FIGHT TO HOLD JOB of several who have especially Charles G. Bennett, secretary of the United States senate, will probably be the most regret- ful man in the country over the passing of Sen- ator Thomas C. Platt from public life. For the passing of Platt will inaugurate a hot fight for the place held by Bennett—a position which carried with it prestige, social standing and a good fat salary. Bennett lives in Brooklyn and was formerly a member of congress from that district. When fates proved unkind and the electorate fickle, Bennett had the Washington habit so that he hated to think of leaving. So he went out for the other job, and Senator Platt went into the fight and helped him to land it. Now Henry M. Rose, reading clerk of the house, is after the place, and he has the backing senators and a whole list of representatives. A number of men recently been promoted from the lower house to the senate are strong for Rose, and with Platt gone the chances of Secretary Bennett look slender. DROPS CON,rz...;EF-iVA - FIVE VIEWS I (:. Stubbs, traffic director of all the Harri- ;Ilan railroads from Chicago to the Pacific coast, is a man just turned 60, sturdy, hard-working and keen as a boy of 25. He went 'to work 39 years ago in a Columbus, 0., freight office, and two years later took a pi'omotion to the freight department of the Central Pacific. He followed the fortunes of the C. P. Huntington roads through good and ill until he came with them ' into the Harriman camp. At this moment Mr. Stubbs has leaped into sudden notice by his announcement of his con- version to the most. modern and radical ideas of railraad management, rate- laws, cornmisalons and all. He believes that reform of the . sort will make for railroad expansion, bemuse It will leave the roads free to build, to Imlirove and to strengthen their present facilities for public service. The expression of his views in an address !'s -fore the Trans -Mississippi Commercial congress at San Francisco is making something of a sensation In railroad as well as For some time past, New Ycrk has been mak:r.g e13rate efforts to keep its streets clean. Various . - .%ppliar.ces hzve been experimented with, and the results have been tested bacteriologically. Plates similar to those used in the laboratory for making bacteria -cultures were exposed in the streets in differ- ent localities, and the number of bacteria -colonies which developed on them during •xposure at particular spots before and after the streets had been cleaned gave a ready, if scientifically rough, idea of the effectiveness of the apparatus. Thus, in Fifth avenue, between Seventh and Eighth streets, a plate exposed on a windy day before the street was cleaned gave 320 separate colonies of bacteria. These were not necessarily of a harmful nature. After the street had been cleaned, another exposure of a bacteria -culture plate at the same spot revealed only 120 colonies. FACTS ABOUT AFRICA STRANGE COUNTRY WHERE ROOSEVELT WILL HUNT. British Explorer Asserts East Africa Is No Place for Poor Man— Sleeping Sickness Is on the Increase. London.—One of the experts who took part in the British museum Ru- wenzori expedition in central Africa in 1905-1906, A. F. R. Wollaston, has just published one of the best books of African travel that haa yet ap- peared: \From Ruwenzori to Congo.\ The Mountains of the Moon are represented by a range of at least five distinct groups of snow peaks, of which the highest has been deter- mined by the duke of the Abruzzi at slightly less than 17,000 feet, and some ten miles of glaciers, between the Lakes Albert Nyanza and Albert Ed- ward, in the country where President Roosevelt will hunt big game. \From the settlers,\ says Mr. Wol- laston, \and from many others whom I met at Nairobi and Naivasha, I heard all sorts of expressions of opinion, from the gloomiest to the most en- thusiastic, about British East Africa. But everybody was agreed, even the most sanguine of them, that it is no place for a poor man. \A capital of several hundred pounds at the least was regarded as an abso- lute necessity, -and this at once puts the country on a different footing from such colonies as Canada, or Australia, or New Zealand. People in England are accustomed to hear East Africa spoken of as 'a white man's country,' but it can never really be it white man's country when the smaller trades and the labor are efficiently carried on by the Indians and natives, while only the officials and employers of labor are European. 0 years—why should its extent be ceas- ing to be limited by the regular- hab- itat of the fly? It is a lamentable fact, but cannot be gainsaid. that civilization must be held responsible in no small degree for the spread of sleeping sickness during the last few years. In the old days, when every tribe and almost every village was self-sufficient, and had no intercourse with its neighbors, except in the way of warfare, it might very well happen that the disease be- came localized in a few districts, where its virulence became dimin- ished. Nowadays, with the rapid opening up of the country, the constant pas- sage of Europeans traveling from one district to another, and the suppres- sion of native warfare, it is becoming increasingly easy for natives to move beyond the limits of their own coun- tries, and by their means sleeping sickness is spread from one end of the country to another. And the out- look at the prOsent time is at the best a gloomy one. And in any case the extent of health- ful upland country suitable for perma- nent settlement by Europeans. after allowance has been „made for native reserves, game reserves and forests. is exceedingly limited. Africa is cursed with a host of parasites.\ And so , little is known of the dts- eases di 'horses and cattle \that one hesitates to predict a very brilliant future for the stock breeder\—cereals coffee, fruit, potatoes and other Euro peen vegetables would be at a perma nest disadvantage in comparison with larger and at least equally productive territories. On the other hand: \If prosperity is to conic to British East Africa, the means of it will prob ably be the cultivation of cotton.\ But a yet more serious problem con fronts Europe in Africa --the. preven tion of the scourge knewn in medical language by the formidable name or trypanosomiasis; by the yet more for midable name of sleeping sickness in the vulgar tongue. The chief thines: known of it, beyond its hideous symp 'toms, are that it is infectious; that if ie Invariably fatal; and that Its gen graphical distribution con-prom:I:- with that of a teetse fly.

Rules Life Begins at Birth. St. Louis—Circuit. Court Judge Wil- liams in a decision which was put on record recently held that a child's life begins at birth and not before. In sustaining a demurrer of a street car company to the suit of Cornelius H. Ruel and his wife for damages for the death of their four -month -old son, who it was claimed died as a result of an accident before be was born, Judge Williams based his ruling upon a part of the scriptures. He quoted Genesis 2:7. The demurrer averred the child in the meaning of the law was not a person at the time Mrs. Bud l was injured five months before the baby was born.. TO CHECK MIMI VACCINATION TO BE. RIED lt ARMY CAMPS Military Authorities Decide That Amer. can Troops Can Be Immune and Seek Volunteers for Treatment. Washington. --immunization against typhoid in army camps by vaccination is to be undE;rtaken by the military authorities. The wnole matter ta - to be frankly put before the army, and individuals are to be invited to volunteer for vac- cination. No soldier or officer will be compelled to submit to anti -typhoid vaccination ugainst his will, but an effort will be made by lectures and ex- amples to show the soldier the advan- tage of availing himself of such a Sim- ple and easy way of escaping one of the worst and most dreaded of army camp diseases. Theme measures are to be taken as a result of the recom- mendations of the board of eminent physicians appointed to consider measures for preventing typhoid fever in army camps. It was named at the instance ,of Brig. Gen, Robert M. O'Reilly, then surgeon general of the army, andsincluded in its membership were Drs. Victor C. Vaughan of Ann Arbor, Williams T. Councilman of Boa - ton, John H. Musser of Philadelphia, Alexander Lambert of New York. Simon Flenner of New York, and Wil- liam S. Thayer of Baltimore. A summary cf the board's onclusions were made public recently. This soints out the wel:-known fact that both during tilte - riaSi.nnd the Spanish- American wars tsspho:d fever prevailea to c great esteut swung the troops, especially among the younger men in regiments recently recruited. Old sol- diers were not often affected, and as regiments learned how to take care of themselves the disease tended to di- minish. In times of peace when the army is stationed at its various garrison posts throughout the country, the re- port says, there is less than half as much typhoid among soldiers as is found among that part of the civil pop- ulation of military age. But, unfor- tunately, the moment the troops go into camps and large numbers of new and untrained men are recruited and mobilized the conditions change for the worse. It has long been recognized, says the report, that a person who has once had the typhoid is practically in- sured against a second attack and the medical profession has now found in anti-typhoid vaccination a simple and harmless way of artificially inducing almost this same amount of 'protec- tion. In the last few years 15,000 men have been treated in this way with ex- cellent effect and without a single tin toward result. AMAZING SURGICAL FEAT SEEN. Knee from Corpse Is Successfully Grafted on Living Sufferer. -- Washington.—Doctors at the George- town university hospital witnessed a remarkable operation performed there several days ago by Dr. George Tully Vaughan of this city on George A. Kelly, aged 29. Tlie bones of Kelly's knees were so badly diseased that Dr. Vaughan decided on amputation. In the hospital was a man about to die. Dr. Vaughan obtained permission from the, dying patient's family to remove the left leg in the event of death, and it was decided that the knee of the dead man should be graft- ed to the leg of the living sufferer. The transfer was duly made. The bones were riveted together by sten- ,der, strong wire and thelafost delicate phase of the operation. that of joining the ligaments, caused the surgeons to work as they probably never labored before. Every tissue, tendon and mus- cle was joined and the bones fastened together. Kelly is said to be improv- ing rapidly. The Crne Exception.
