Reviewing the recent discovery that Tnomaa Kewton, of Virginia, la en titled to the record for greatest con tinuous length of service In the na tional House of Ileprenentutlves, a correspondent of The New York Sun develops some other Interesting facts. The almost forgotten Mr. Newton rep resented the Norfolk district from 1801 to 1833, a period of twenty-nine year an five days, und after an In terval of about a year served two years more. Thin honor 'aa until re cently conceded to the lute William D. Kelly, of Pennsylvania. The rec ord for mere length of service also be longed properly to Mr. Newton until 105, when, after nearly eighty years, John H, Ketcham, of New York, took It from him. Last year Joseph (i. Cannon, of Illinois (who Is Htlll to the fore), also passed Mr. Newton In this respect. Even the Newton rec ord of continuous service In In danger, for Gen. Henry II. Bingham, of Pennsylvania, who Is still a member of th House, will break It If he lives less than a year longer, and he is now only sixty-nix. The record of those who have served more than twenty years la given by The Sun's correspondent as follows: Akc. Hcrvl( John H. Ketcham. N. Y. .. Joseph O. Cannon, 111 Thomas Newton, Va William S.

"' IV OT VISIRLK TO Mil. lUTCHLV. The estuernod Induntrious News "waits with Interest lo see what com ment The Charlotte Observer will have to make upon Mr.' Kltchln's .1aln't o.' " We hasten to , gratify . Its . cu riosity, though the present state of our Information loavoi something to ' be desired. Mr. Kltchln denies that the famous fifth district combine has any existence, but this li merely M It to say ' that he personally; dote hot be lle Ve In ltt He may not have 1 been present at Its birth or presided over Its growth; he may be able to "prove an alibi for these periods and utter blindness thereafter the fact remains that his testimony is purely negative In Its nature. The thing may be there although he Is unable to see It; In fact, this sort of thing Is usually Invisible, and Us existence or npn-existenca must be Inferred from circumstances even by some of1 those Immediately concerned. Sometimes political am bitions pool themselves automatically. In view of tho fact that Mr. KItchln's denial, however sincere, is thus Incon clusive and that circumstantial evi dencethe best of all kinds of evi dence In tho eyes of the law when complete goes to show very con vincingly that the alleged combine does exist, we strongly incline to the afllrmatlve side of the discussion. What shall a man call his father-in-law and mother-in-law? A pros pective son-in-law's query upon this point In the columns of The New York Sun Is stirring the nation. "My v.ifo will be all In all to me," says he, "and for her parents I have the most profound respect and admira tion and affection; but still 1 have but one father und mother, and I don't want to call anybody else by those tltleH " This young man .shall not go uway comfortless If The Observer can help him. Let him use the avuncular form of address as. "Uncle John" and "Aunt Jane." We are not surprised at a report that Mr. Hpoontr's retirement from the Senate means that tho antl-Uoose-velt elements of the Republican party hope- to nominate him for the presi dency. He Is declared to bo "the most available man to save the party from breaking through tho thin bar rier of declination which Mr. Roose velt has constructed between himself and tho nomination for a third term." This Is doubtless nothing more than a natural surmise. We find It In teresting but Improbable.

( . Rockefeller, Jr's., Bible class, and who is also 'a personal friend of John . Rockefeller ind In a position to ' know of bis affairs, the latter proposes soon to make a princely gift t the city of New York. It will amouty to at least 850,000,000. It will be partly char itable and partly educational. The Herald will add: "This man informed Herald re porter that when Mr. Rockefeller was conferring with his son at Lakewood, N. J., a fortnight ago, the meeting was not for the purpose of discussing any immediate gift, but was on the subject of Mr. Rockefeller's will, which document the oil king was tnen completing with the' aid of his son and his lawyers. It was said that this document will astonish tne worm when It Is made public. It will, It Is declared, donate no less than $250, 000,000 for charitable and education al purposes, and it will be so bestowed that the bent-fit therefrdm will almost bo perpetual. The manner In which these bequests will be bestowed Is said to be mainly educational and charit able. While there are some contribu tions for religious purposes. It Is stated that Mr. Rockefeller does not think It necessary to extend any great financial aid to churches. To his manner of thinking the churches are growing Btrongcr and there Is no dan ger that they will ever need any great financial assistance from one man. "Mr. Rockfe!l however, Is said to be much In fa or of the growth of education and to the furtherance of this end he has done much In his will. He believes that education will make this country the greatest In the world and that every cent contributed to ward that object will help to make better citizens and better Christians. "As to the charitable bequests, it was said ' sometime ago that M,r. Rockefeller 'had In mind building model tenements for the poor, such as have been erected in some European cities. "In his will, The Herald's Informant states, Mr. Rockefeller has provided these three things bequests for re ligious purposes, though not of large sums; llh'j'al bequests for education; and what are described as princely be quests for charitable purposes. It Is said that there Is scarcely a man, woman or child that will not be ber eftted In some way by these prospec tive donations." SEC. liOEIl ENTERS A DENIAL. Conference nt White Hons Satur day Was Not for Purpose of Pro moting the Candidacy of Sec. Tart for the Presidency. Washington, March 17. Secretary Loeb to-night denied published statements that tho White House con ference yesterday, In which Gov. Charles S. Dcneen and Attorney Ocncral Stead participated, was for the purpose of promoting the candi dacy of Secretary Taft for the presi dency. The story originated. It Is said, from the fact that Secretary Tuft and his brother, Charles P. Taft, of Cincinnati, called at the ex ecutive offices while the , President was In conference with the Illinois officials and were introduced to the Presldenf visitors The only refer ence mudn to politics during the con fi rence w as that I he President asked Governor Honeen regarding the mayoralty fight In Chicago.

That the human soul does exist Is the conclusion of some Massachusetts physicians, Mrs, Duncan,, MacDougall and Byroul, , of Haverhill, t and Dr. Qrout, of Lawrence who for six years have been ; conducting a. remarkable series of experiments undertaken with the object of demonstrating from a physical standpoint whether or . not there, is such a thDog. The expert ments were carried on In A sanitarium la this state and have been secretly guarded until an actual result could be shown. Now, it is believed" that something decisive has been produced. xne results obtained are known to but a half doaen scientists aslds from the experimenters, although it Is plan ned to make the whole discovery pub llo in the near future. The Phvslclans assert that throus'h their researches the human- soul has at last been catalogued upon scientific principles as an actual, material thing, just as the heart, the kidneys, the stomach and all organs ot the body. They declare they have ascer tained that when the soul flits from the body It diminishes the weight of the body by a certain measurable amount, and that this amount oan be weighed In actual pounds or frac tions of pounds. Every known test has been made whloh would be In any way likely to disprove the facts. Instead ot doing this, each test has added to the con firmation of results which weVe obtain ed when the first experiment was made. The difference between the weight of the live human body and the body a moment after death, or when the soul has quitted It, w&e found to be from one-half ounce to one ounce, and to this It Is said there can be no other possible solution than that this is the weight of the human soul. In every case the loss was shown after all known scientific deductions, such as the loss of respiratory air, of moisture and of all excretions and secretions of the body had been taken inte tconslderatlon. In order fhat the experimenting physicians might accurately ascertain that this unaccountable loss was not due to some peculiar physical charac teristic ot sex, both men and women have been subjects of the experiment. In nearly all cases under test dlmln Ishment took place upon the Instant life ceased to exist, although la one case there wa a felay of nearly a min ute, believed to be due to the slug gishness of that particular soul in realising that Its physical fetters had been broken. The method of finding this result as followed by the doctors was to place the dying patients in bed upon one of the platforms of scales made expressly for the experiments and then to balance this weight by placing an equal weight on the opposite platform. These scules were so delicately con structed as to be sensitive to a weight of less than one-tenth of an ounce. Dr. Duncan MacDougal. of Haver hill, expressed surprise und annoyance when uske.l concerning the tests, but since a pirt of the story had got out he consented to go somewhat Into t'etall. Dr. Maedougal believes nelth r In Spiritualism nor mvsterloul psychic pneumonia, except as fhoy can be dealt with by science, and he In troduced his statement with the dec laration that his experiments were made purely with the Idea of estab lishing scientific facts. "During my practice among hospi tal patients and In being present ut the bedside of many dying patients my .curiosity was aroused as U wheth er there might be some material change discoverable by actual tests which would throw a new light upon the mystery of the (light of life," he said. "When a person dies the current be lief Is that his spirit or soul continues to live. "My first thought was: Has con tinued consciousness and personal In dividuality any existence? Can It ex ist In space n.s nothing? It Is known as a force as n personality real and actual. It Is impossible to think of it as not occupying space. It must be a spaco occupying body. With that granted tho next query was: "Has It weight? Was It gravitated matter or some other form of un known definition? Forthwith I began my experiments. "Four other physlolans under my direction made the first test upon a patient dying with tuberculosis. This man was one of tho ordinary type of the usual American temperament. "We placed him, a few hours pre ceding death, upon a scale platform, which I had constructed and which was accurately balanced. Four hours later .with five doctors In attendance, he died. "The Instant II fo ceased the opposite scale pan fell with a suddenness that was astonishing as If something had been suddenly lifted from the body. Immediately ull tho usual deductions were made for physical loss of weight, and It was discovered that there was still a full ounco of weight unaccount ed for. "My fellow physicians were mysti fied and only half convinced. I my self had grave doubts that our calcu lations were correct. "As a result of this doubt, I sub mitted another subject afflicted with the same disease and nearlng death, to the same experiment. The result was the some. The Instant the heart ceased to beat there was tho sudden and almost uncanny dlmtnlshment In weight. "As experimenters, each physician In attendance made figures of his own concerning the loss, and a consulta tion, these figures were shown. "The question then arose as to what the loss meant. It was a loss of sub stance which could bo obtained In known figures, which was also such a singular appreciable loss as to place It beyond ull doubt that It might be due to clerical error In calculations "The two separate differences ob tained corresponded, each being of about an ounce "ine, mini subject was that of a man of larger physical build, with a pronounced sluggish temperament. When life ceased for a full minute there appeared to be no change In wetgnt. Thin suddenly the asms thing happened that had occurred in tho other cases. There was a sudden dlmlnlshment in weight, which was found to be the same as that of the preceding experiments. "I bellsve that In this case, that pt a pMegmsllc man alow of thought and action, that soul remained suspended tn the body after death, during the Minute that adapted before It cams to the consciousness of Its freedom. There Is no other way of acoounXlng for It and It Is What might be expect ad to happen la a mmm ot the aub jeot'a temperament, . . .'
