He bought his first over- coat on the day he retired from active business. He said it was the first sign of his “approaching old age.” For, many years he had said to his friends ‘‘come to my house April 21, 1902, and help me celebrate my one hun- dreth birthday.” And they went hundreds, bankers and wealthy business men from Philadelphia, Trenton and Camden, townspeople and little children bearing gifts of flowers, It was a strik- ing pilgrimage to do honor to a genial old man who fn one hundred years of activity had never made an enemy. The tugged old man received them all with princely hospitality and made a speech in which he imparted the secret of his ‘longevity. “Plenty of pure alr, plenty of simple food, plenty of good sleep, plenty vot work and no worry are my rules for long Mfe and good health,” he sad. “Above all, avold tobacco, Its use wears out many a ‘heart before its day and has spoiled many good paira of eyes.” Mr. Livermore reads the morning pa- bers regularly, and he has never had ‘the elightest necessity for spectacles.

CONEY ISLAND HAS A MURDER MYSTERY At Least Police Are Working on That Théory on the Body of a]*",.” Man Found in the Water by Boatman John Ryder. ‘The police of Coney Island are mak- ing every effort to learn the {identity of the man whose body was found floating in Coney Island Creek by John Ryder, | a ‘@ boatman, and who was evidently murdered. ‘The Coroner will hold a ~Dost-mortem examination to-day. It ia thought that he was killed by a blow with an iron bar, William Newman, a saloon-keeper in ®urf avenue, saw the body soon after it was taken from the water. He said he had heard the man called Frank Scott or Stott and belleved that he w in Brooklyn. Further than that he could give no information and eald he had not seen him for two weeks. The body is that of a man about forty years old, welghing 160 pounds and about 6 feet 6 inches tall. The detec- tives are now looking for J. Hermann, of Bath Beach, and Henry Graff, of No. 2088 Fulton street, whose names were found in a motebook in his pocket. ft is thought that they can ald in clearing up his identity. Ryder was in his boat at the foot of ‘West Eleventh street, Coney Island, when he saw a/dark object floating in the water, Rowing out to it, he found that it was the body of a man, and he towed st ashore. The polloe were noti- fled ahd the body was taken to the station house. Tt was evident that the man had been ™murtered. ‘There was a great gash across the head, as though he had been felled with a bar of iron, and there ‘was another cut over the left eye. No man could have lived after receiving thé larger wound. It tg the theory of the police that pan- handlers in some of the Coney Toland saloons killed the man and then robbe: him. ‘They are trying to find with whom be ‘Was last seen, COLLIERIES CLosEe DOWN, SHAMOKIN, Pa., Sept.

The delegates, who hail from all parts of the world, talk and argue by the hour, They read columns of figures and make deductions, and never seem to wholly agree, except on two subjects—that people are living longer nowadays and that insurance institu- tions are the greatest things on earth. The former of these two deductions 4s interesting to everybody. Samuel George Warner, F. I. A., Sec- retary and Actuary of the Law Union and Crown Insurance Company, of Lon- don, in a paper read by him before the Congress, showed by statistics an im- proving longevity. Why Men Live Longer. “Every element of the wonderful and complex development has entered into and left its mark upon so outstanding a featare of national life as the longevity of the people.” said Mr. Warner. “To attempt to trace the effect of these divers forces would be far beyond my power. One can only glance at a few of the most obvious tendencies. “The growth of the factory system, the revolutionizing power of railways and ‘development of our mineral. sources drew the people of ana vill es.

The period 1866-1859 shows marked decrease in the death-rate at From 1855-1859 to 1860-1864 there is a decrease at most of the younger and ar increase at most of the older ages. From 1960-1864 to 1865-1869 there is an Increase at all ages except under age one and over age seventy-nine.

In 1881 diphtheria, scarlet fever and measles were excessively prevalent over a large area, and the period 1890- 1884 shows a relatively high death-rate. A slight decrease, except at the older ager, Is shown In 1885-1889, and the in- fluer@: epidemic In 1891 caused an in- in the death-rate during the 19-1894, especially among thore need in of the century were distinguished by a marked decrease in the rate of mor- tality at all age groups.” Causes of Denth. Regarding the causes of death chiefly affecting adults, Mr, Gore continued: “We find botn in northern and south- ern cities that there has been a remark- able decrease in the death rate from phthisis. The death rate of typhoid fever has decreared somewhat In northern cities and increased slightly in southern cities, The comb'ned rate would prob- ably show a silght decrease.
