Iiicrcillltli Story.
The story that there is a person
living in California lf0 years old is
incredible. -Memory begins to fall
seriously at 7.1, and at 100 it is prac
ticully obliterated. That extru 50

Tlie Panama canal treaty allows the
United States M years to complete
a canal with locks and 12 years more
In case of unforeseen delays or ob

In 1870 -130 ships passed through the
Suez canal and the gross receipts
were $1,270,000. In 11)01 3,099 ships
pnssed through and the gross reve

more than twentyfold between 1870

The United States consul at Mon
treal was llred for talking too much.
Were that rule to bo adopted gener
ally in all the walks of life the em
ployment bureaus would be rushed
to death. Jt is significant that the
vacancy left by the too-talkative
gentleman was filled with the ap
pointment of a newspaper man.

Will there be no pinnies in heaven?
It is the opinion of Jtev. John llrown
that there, will not be. This worthy
jivino preached a sermon on "Karth-
, ly Follies" in Wabash, hid., the other
night; and among other things, he
declared that no woman who wears
plumes on her hat can ever get into
heaven. Four of the women in his
audience were so deeply impressed
by his words that they tore the
plumes from their hats and threw
tliem in the stove.

Gen. Fred Grant has sold for $00,-
000 the Washington house which was
presented to ills mother by friends of
Gen. Grant soon after the hitter's
death. The house brought about th
mini that was paid for it. It is rather
strange, however, that a house that
ccjna into the family as that one did
should be sold, particularly as the
ciale compels Gen. Grant's sister, Mrs.
Nellie Sartoris, who is now a widow
and in feeble health, to remove to an
apartment house. Join (Kan.) Uegia

Therefore his conclusion is that on

being bnsed on the theory that all of
the spheres are part of a plan or

Greenville, Miss., March HI. There
It little, change in the flood situation.
The cutting of the protection levee
at the northern border of the town
has given no perceptible relief in
letting out the water. On the con
trary, a rise Is still in progress gen
t; rally throughout the city.
The crevasse below Greenville is
about 2,000 feet wide and the water
is rushing through at a rapid rate,
overflowing Issaquena, Sharkey and
a portion of Washington counties.
So far as known not a single life has
been lost as a result of the breaking
of the levee and the subsequent
flooding of the country. The negro
woman and live children that were
reported to have perished were res
cued. .Rescue boats are out In every
direction and all refugees brought
to the city are being cared for. In
Greenville the wafer is causing end
less inconvenience and much dam
age, but the clfy and its Inhabitants
are not considered to be in danger,
even should the water go much
higher.

New Orleans, March HI. The car
rying away of additional cribbing
at tho Hyinclia crevasse early yes
terday morning brought the forces
that have been at work there to
the verge of abandonment of the at
tempt to close the break. Later
in the day, however, it was agreed
to continue the undertaking, though
all hands are likely to he called oiV
if the terrific current washes out
tho new lines of cribbing which
were started from both ends of the
'levee late yesterday afternoon. In
no event can the work be completed
inside of a week and unless ample
money Is given the next disaster
to tho cribbing is likely to mark
tho end of the struggle.
Two ridges between which tho
levee caved have prevented the water
from spreading rapidly above and
below, but the mighty torrent is
filling the lakes and bayous to tlie
rear, and In the next fortnight the
whole basin from the La Fourche to
the lower limits of cultivated land
in Plaeque is likely to go under wa
ter, causing Inestimable damage and
much suffering.
Tlie Howell crevasse is beyond con
trol and this has suspended all
traffic over the iS'apoleonville branch
of the Southern Pacific.

of election commissioners in the

they began to count tho ballots with
locked doors. Judge. Carter, us legal
adviser for the election board, an

precinct would preserve the sanctity
of the election law and the principle
for which the commissioners were
contending, and that In view of

of the remaining precincts, The
counting of the ballots proceeded

ished an adjournment of the hearing
was taken until April 10. The elec

it will bo romeuibeiud' that some time,
ago the particulars ot Mr. iteiners' case
were published in these columns. He hud.
been very low with Diubctes. Phyaieiaua.
could do nothing to save him and he grew
ivorso and worse till some one rccommended
Dodd's Kidney Pills. A treatment of this
remedy was begun and when eight boxes
had been taken Mr. ltciuers began to sec aiu
improvement which continued as the treat
ment proceeded' till he was completely re--ttorcd'.
He has since enjoyed perfect health and',
is as robust and able a man as any tn Lancas

"Many people wrote to me when the story
of my case was first printed and some write
to me yet asking if the cure was only tem
porary and if the diabetes has returned. I
nave only one answer to everybody. Three
