HAVE YOURSELF APPRAISED I x ! Forty Years the Limit--Dr. Erastus Holt Declares Professional Man's Value at That Age is $29,344.68--Septuagenarians, $17.13. Boston, Mass.?Reaffirming the thei ory of Dr. Osier regarding man's value j according to liis age, Dr. Erastus Holt, i of Portland. Me., at the ophthalmology ) session of the American Medical Asso_ ciation, in an elaborate paper on "Phy, ' sical Economics," contended that the . ' economic value of a laboring man de| creases after his twentr-fifth year and - | that the value of a professional man wanes after the fortieth year. Dr. ; Holt presented elaborate tables show: Ing that a man's value in money can i actually be determined by taking into ' consideration his occupation and age. Dr. Holt is an authority on the topic, having worked out a theory which ; changed the methods used in the Pen! sion Bureau for determining the amount of a man's pensiou according to his 1 disability. He was i- an accident one time biiuself, and says that he had nothing to do but think for six months, ' and that he worked ou this theory during all of that time, and has amplified I it a great deal since. I In his table showing the value of individuals of the American laboring ; class be states tbat at ten years of age, I on a 3Vi per cent, discount basis, a boy ' is worth $2061.62; at fifteen years of I age he is worth $4263.66; ;?t twenty-live ; he is worth S34SS.03, and from that I time ou his value decreases, until at ; seventy he i3 worth but $17.13, and at j ! eighty years of age ae is a drawback | ? j on the community to the extent of j l j SS72.S4. 3 | The professional man at twenty-five j [ i years of rtge has an economic value of ^ | ?25,SD8.U4. and Lis highest value is at i j forty years oi ago, when he is worth | J ! $29,344.68. 3 i Dr. Holt says that all damages to a : " j person through accident should be as- j j sessed by a jury in a systematic man- I - | ner, and not in haphazard way, as it is j 3 | done at present. The tables which he \ f j has used in determining the value of a i , | man are taken from those of the fa- ! | mous Dr. Farr, but he has amplified j these tables in such a way that he can ! determine the percentage of loss due to j a specific accident, such as the loss of ; an eye, a leg or an arm, or any diminu tion of the person's value short of total ! disability. He advocates the plan of i having every man and woman procure j j for himself or herself an economfc rating. which he explains as follows: "There is nothing of more impor| tance to be instituted in the science j i cin/i nrnr-tir*f? nf mprfirine than the care- I i fully made records of physical aud la- j I boratory examinations of every person, j 1 They should be instituted when the | ! child enters school and be repeated at j i stated times during the whole period | of school life. A new school officer ' would be necessary, who would ana- \ j lyze a child, detect all abnqpTnalities j and aid In correcting th^m during ; } school life, and thus have the body | improved with the mind. From these | records data could be obtained which i would give the rating of the child, tak- | ing into consideration his functional j ability, on which his technical ability j so largely depends. With this work | carried out during school life it would , soon demonstrate its own importance > by making these records of the highest ! value in the training of the mind and j body, the promotion of health, the pre- I vention of disease and the advance- ; ment of the race."

Jones-Murdock, occupied apartments. No cause can be assigned for the suicide other than that the young man ln had been ill for some time past, and that he believed his ailment would ?c cause him either to go tyind or become aj insane. The only mystery surround- ra ing the suicide is as to how he ob- cc tained the revolver with which he killed himself. The Coroner believes Is it was smuggled into his room by some P1 person whom he paid to do it. Every ai effort was made to keep the fact that, he had killed himself a secret, his rela- c,c x i i si tive going so iar as 10 aueuipc iu ump j the Coro<uer suppress the facts. ! ?r All the arrangements had been made 1 ** to take Jones to Cambridge Springs. ai In a statement which she made to the j 01 Coroner, Mrs. Murdock said that she had spent most of the evening before ; ? the suicide in her son's room preparing ; for the trip. j ei She went to bed about midnight, but j entered his room again at 2 o'clock and j found hei; son seated at a window. 1 They talked together for some time, j a] and then she retired.

Milwaukee, Wis.? The rebate suit hich the Government last year began jainst the Pabst Brewing Company, Milwaukee, the Refrigerator Transit Dmpany and several railroad compaes has been decided in favor of the overnment. It is considered, by lawyers to be a veeping decision, and one which up)lds the provisions of ihe Elkins acf all its intents and purposes. It is not probable that the case will > to the United States Supreme Court, id therefore the ruling will have a dical effect on the shipping of the iuntry. The court holds that the Elkins law sound and enforceable. The ruling its an end to all devices for giving id collecting rebates. It holds that where a person or a mipany gives control of his or its lipments to another, such as a refrigator company or a freight broker, ie person or company to whom it is ssigued must be deemed to be the >mer and shipper of the freight and innot accept commissions or rebates orn railroads. This is considered a Ighly important ruling, as it puts an id to the very latest devices found ad practiced for getting around the lkins act. But the decision goes still further ad holds that railroads must strictly jserve their published tariffs and can3t grant concessions to transportation >mpanies or brokers whereby they relive less rate than that named in the jblished tariff. It is estimated that a score or more (frigerator and stock car companies i the country are affected. The ruling also puts out of business le so-called freight broker, the latest jvice for rebating. These brokers colct freight and for commissions turn over to certain railroads. EATH OF SENATOR GORMAN. udden and Unexpected End From Heart Disease. Washington, D. C.?United States enator Arthur P.
