Turk, Only 140 Years Old, Gives His Rules for Life London, June 17. Claiming to be 140 years old, a Turk named Zorah, who lives in the Top Haneh section of Constantinople, gives the follow ing details of the regimen he has fol lowed for many decades: 1. A cold bath every morning.' 2. No meat, alcohol or tobacco. 3. Plenty of "yaourt" (boiled milk curdled by yeast), with sugar and as much bread, cheese and sweets as he can eat. 4. A drink of water once a week; at other times plenty of very sweet, weak tea, without milk. Except that his throat is withered and loose-skinned beneath his white beard, nothing in Zorah's appearance indicates his extraordinary age. He has lately been suffering from dys pepsia, for which he blames a loose tooth. Lure of Jazz Music Takes , Girls From Their Homes Boston, June 17.

San Francjgo and Los Angeles, (One of a series of interesting tales by Mr.' Matthews about get- I rich-quick bubbles that have burst. Others will follow.) Keep smiling is ever the motto of the gamblers of finance. ' Perhaps they believe that the memory of the smile will make poverty more endur able when it comes to those who trusted in their schemes. Who was John Sadlier to establish a bank? But the people of the county of Tipperary, Ireland, in the middle of last century did not pause to ask themselves that. It was suf ficient that the batik was to pay higher interest than any bank before. Every customer would be a share holder as well as a- depositor. No depositor in difficulties would ever want. -v The county knew him well enough. Not a banker, certainly, but as a voting lawyer practicing at Carlow. At 21 he had been left $25,000 and in the few years since the law prac tice had brought him in a lot more. So if John Sadlier could make money for' himself, what was to stoo him making it for the county? At every fair he was to be seen, distinguished, yet not arrogant, a smile and a word for everyone. The county was proud of him, and as seon as his bank opened lodged in it $500,000. More and more people brought their savings, and in a few months there were 20 branches of the Tip perary bank operating in the county. "The more money, the larger divi dends and interest for everyone," said John Sadlier. "Keep it up and we shall be .declaring a bonus of 20 per cent at the end of the half year." A meeting was caiiea. Kesoiuiions were passed thanking the man who had brought this sudden prosperity to the county. Who else could be made its president put John Sadlier, with his brother, 'James, for man ager? In a few months the parliamen tary elections were to be held. "You must go and look after the county's iiitrt in London." neoole Said. And to show their trust in him he was sitting in the House of Com mons at the next sessions. - VVtipn tif reached London thev Ldid not learn anything to make them fear their confidence had been mis placed. His speeches in the House of Commons moved . all listeners, and, in a debate on Irish Home Rule, he showed himself a patriot, winning many opponents over by his charm and ability. Soon Tip erary heard that even England was honoring its idol. News came that James Sadlier was appointed a Lord of the Admiralty at $25,000 a year. But this was not the end of his success. London magnates hearing of the success of the bank in Tip perary, asked hi mto join them in their schemes. In a few months he found himself president of the Lon don and China Trading association, and director of two other large con cerns. Yet could it have known, Tipperary had more than the ,'nter est of pride in his identity With these concerns. It heard only the good news, and even those who had mistrusted his schemes brought their, savings to the hnntf attracted hv its unusual 'in ducements. But no one in Tipper ary heard of Clara Morton, tne cniei dancer at Her Majesty's theater. Enchanted by her beauty John Sad lier was showering money and jew els upon her, providing her with a palatial house and many servants. Nor perhaps did they 'hear of the: evenings he spent gambling at 'the most aristocratic club of London. London heard of his losses and was not surprised when word was passed that he was privately selling $1,000, 000 worth of his London and China stock. With the money from the sale he began speculating reckless ly on the stock exchange. His engagement to Clara Morton was announced; but his money was disappearing fast in keeping her in splendor, as well as in his specula tions. His salary of $25,000 dollars went nowhere. People, wondered where he was getting the money Then at a meeting of the LoVdon & China company he heard it sug gested that there must be some bo gus scrip on the market. John Sad lier went to see Miss Morton before t- tViat nio-ht. "Here is $50.- 000 for you, Clara. You will never see me again. Before she could ask a question he was gone. Next morning the paT pers announced that the dead body of John Sadlier had been found on Philadelphia Reserve Bank Establishes Interest Rate Philadelphia, June 17. The Fed r,i Pporvi" Rank of Philadelphia today announced establishment of a flat rate of 6 per cent on certincates of indebtedness and the new three year treasury notes. Other rates are unchanged.

A letter in a pocket stated that the writer had forged the shares he had sold, and that he was ilow taking his lifeT There was little doubt that it was suicide, and stfch wsa the verdict of the coroner's jury the following day. Tipperary had just heard that the bank had declared a special bonus of 10 per cent, and almost immedi ately afterwards it heard of its idol's fall. The people rushed to the bank lest they be too late to collect the bonus. They found the doors shut. There was no bonus for them and no money, either. Every penny they had depc-sited had gone to buy John Sadlier s shares in the London Com panies, or to maintain Clara Morton in splendor. An audit showed that over $2,000,000 of the country's money had disappeared. People wondered how even with all his speculations and extravagancies he could have spent it al). A wail of despair went up over the countryside. Riots broke out every where. The British government was blamed for letting the people be victimized. Laborers went without wages, farmers were evicted from their holdings, landlords were shot at. It is said that Tipperary has not at. It is said that Tipperary collapse of Sadlier's bank. Years later when things were quieter, a large shareholder in the bank was called abroad On business.

He had bribed a friendly doctor, through a resurrectionist to procure him a dead body about his own height, dress it in his clothes, and have it left on the Heath, with butler, also bribed, at the inquest butler, also bribed, at thei nquest swore that the body was that of Sadlier and the jury had, therefore, no hesitation in giving thiir verdict. So, out of the oblivion of death John Sadlier came back to do pen ance for the wrong he had done those whose only fault was that they had trusted him too much.
