Clads -lbw Lived in TWO Centuries and Expects to Enter the Next. Johan Frederick Peutsh, surrounded by four generations of his descendants, celebrated his one hundredth birthday at the home of ono of his sons, in Bur- leson County, Tex., on the 23rd day of Juue. Few living men have partici- pated in greater affairs or -witnessed more of the important events of the past century than this extraordinary old man. It would require many hours for one to repeat the naxnes of the great historical characters whore this man has either seen or conversed with dur- ing his long career. His mind is per- fectly clear, he walks with soldierly bearing and a casual observer would not take him to be mach above eighty years of age. Perfectly authentic records and the testimony of his children confirm the statement that he was botrn just 100 years ago in the City of Berlin. Be saw Napoleon in 1814, and again be had a glimpse of him as he was flying before Blucher's terrible dragoons from the bloody field of Waterloo. He saw all the great master spirits of Europe who gathered in Paris after the fall of the " man of destiny." Be saw "Napoleon the Little," as he called him, whining from ill -health and groveling in hope- less incompetence at the feet of Bis- marck and Von Moltke at Sedan. Be saw the Austrian legions melt away at Sadowa before the walls of steel that the great German strategist had made LIVING MACHINES OF WAR, and Bismarck had aroused to a, pitch of frenzy by saying to them on the eve of battle, "Bayonets that think are in- vincible." He listened to Humboldt dur- ing the last years of the last century and conversed with many old soldiers who served under Frederick the Great. , Although this interesting old veteran has been a soldier in four great wars and many eampaigns, he was never more than a Lieutenant, though he fre- quently served upon the staffs of some of Prussia's greatest military comman- ders. When Prussia shook off the French yoke, in 1813, Johan was 10 years of age. and he at once enlisted in a re- giment that was immediately sent to the front to join Blueher's army. A few days later this regiment covered it- self with gloss at the terrible battle of Katzbach, where Blueher, at the head of the newly organized army, de- feated four French Marshals, one of whom boated before the conflict be- gan 'that no array in Europe had or ever would be able to see the color of the knapsacks of the soldiers of his division." Deutsh thinks that this was one of the old Marshal's greatest vic- tories. Blueher rapidly crossed the Elbe, and soon afterwards again faced the French on the bloody lied of Leip- sic. Here Johan was wounded, but he was shortly after able to rejoin the army, which aft er battles, enter r fighting several oth- d Paris, Mar'h 31, 1814. During the OCallpancy of Paris by the allied armies, Johan had an opportun- ity of seeing the man whose name had been in every one's mouth throughout all Europe for nearly a quarter of a century. "1 was greatly disappointed," he says, "for 1 only saw a pale, fat man, whose face looked as if it had been chiseled from marble, whereas, 1 sus - pose, I expected to zee a great giant, witb ma.ny physical attributes wonder- fully different from other men." The old man says that here for the first time he had an opportunity of wit- nessing Marshal Blucher's sublime rage. Surrounded by a group of of- ficers the battle -scarred old warrior was looking upon the magnificent struc- ture which spanned the Seine. This was the bridge of Jena, which Napoleon had built to commemorate his victory over the Prussians. Blucher could hardly en- dure the sight of it, and ho RAVED LIRE A MADMAN. Shaking his clenched fist at the struc- ture he shouted: "It shall be blown up. I order it done at this instant. Not one stone shall be left upon another." It was not without great difficulty that other commanders prevented him from executing his threat. This was not all that he wanted to do. 'At one time he declared that he would destroy Paris and hang Napoleon at the head of his army. "We thought him terrible at that time," says the old man, but we had only seen the beginning of his rage." Biuoher was not at all satisfied with the terms of the treaty which permit- ted Napoleon to retire to Elba and showed his superior judgment by de- claring " that the whole business would have to be done over again." In 1813," says the old man, "Blu- cher was simply a great military com- mander with an ungovernable temper, and animated by the most intense and bitter hatred of Napoleon. In 1814 he was a roaring, howling, incarnate de- mon on horseback. When the campaign opened he roared as he mounted his war horse. 'Nothing can stop me from hanging him this tune if I lay my hand on lam.' And that very threat is the secret of Napoleon's rapid flight to Paris and his imbecile conduct after Waterloo. He was afraid of Blueber, and well might he have been. " At Ligny on the 10th of June, 1815, we saw the old Marshal at his best, or as some say, at his worst. When the battle commenced Blucher was confi- dent of victory, but the skillful strat- egy of Napoleon soon turned the for- tune of the day in favor of the French. The old Marshal no sooner saw victory slipping from his grasp then he became a madman. He galloped over the field bareheaded, swearing, raving and threatening officers and soldiers alike. Every one was afraid of him. Observ- ing it regiment that was raelting away he galloped along the line, end shouted that he would order bis dragoons to mainchssacre them if they retired another " At Ligny, for the last time, Napol- eon used with great effect that THE EXETER TIMES TERRIBLE FIELD ARTILLERY that had pulverized the armies of Eur- ope. No troops on earth could have stood against such a shower of grape- shot." in the campaign of 1815 Mr. Deutsh, had reachesi the grade of Lieutenant, and for gallantry in action at Ligny, isa was recommended for promotion. He, however, heard no more of that. When Blucher turned his columns toward the sound of the firing at Waterloo, Lieut. Deutsh was with the advance, and there he again saw a great deal of Blucher, It appeared impossible for him to do enough to urge the columns forward. He coaxed, begged, cursed and stormed at both officers and men. Sometimes he would gallop ahead and wave his sword for his men to come on, and then in his impatienee he would drive the spurs into Ins hoese's flanks, and come thun- dering back along the line: " You move like snails," he would roar. " Can't you hear the cannon? Don't you know we are needed there?" When we came within sight of Ole d„ and began to smell the mucky." says MT, Deutsh, "the horses ;seeded n0 further urging. They seemed to be as eager for the battle as their riders." Old Blucher, says Ur. Deutsh, led the first. charge, and he was unhorsed, and the column rode over him, and back over him again. Lieut. Deutsh rode with a regnamat, of dragoons that swept the field, This regiment was in ad- vance of all others in the pursuit of the flying French caul:ans. They came up- on Napoleon's carriage, and the old man says he heard soldiers shouting, "There goes the Emperor," and when he look- ed ahead he saw the well-known form of Napoleon urging along his horse. 'rhe road was so thoroughly choked with wagons, cannon and horses that the "man ot Austerlitz," was far away before the Prussian Dragoons succeed- ed in making their way through the tangled mass. After the fall of Napoleon Mr. Deutsh saw no more of war until he was a very old man. He marched with the Prussian army in the war against Aus- tria, and he witnessed the terrible. BATTLE OF SADOWA though he did not handle a musket. When war broke out between France and Prussia, in 1870, although Mr. Deutsh was 74 years of age, he at once joined the army and became a mem- ber of the staff of the veteran General, Thiel He WAS in the thiek of the bat- tle of Sedan, where he was slightly wounded, but he was able to be in the saddle when Napoleon passed along the road with a "downcast look," seek- ingrododfng WilJi,m at whose feete hadde erti to h,1=- self and ask a great deal for France. Ir. Deutsh says that Napoleon is not to be blamed for surrendering his ar- my. His marshals had been completely outgeneraled, he says, and if the old hero of Marengo and Austerlitz could have been waked froni his raansoleum of marble and gold he could not have rescued the French army from the trap into which it had fallen. Mr. Deutsh, entered Paris for the third time. in 1871, where he observed that wonderful changes had taken place. He thinks that Napoleon did a great deal for Paris, and that he de- serves credit for having made it one of the most beautiful cities in all Eur- ope. Deutsh has now passed the een- uiy mark, ansi is doubtlesa one ot the best preserved and healthiest men of his age on the continent. He not only walks about. attending to his affairs, but no day passes that he does not per- form some manual labor. He is fond of all outdoor sports, anti very fre- quently is found five or six miles from home, engaged in fishing or hunting. In these rambles he is ever accompanied by a great grandson. but the old man claims that he does not need the ser- vices of the boy at all. He says that he has ate, drank and smoke as Ile felt inclined, though never to excess, and that he has never changed his habits. Be hopes to live int e the next century in order that he may be able to say that he has lived in three centuries. HEALTH AND POPULATION. The Larger the City the Lower the Death Rale -The Law Shown by Slat Wits. Some official figures recently appear- ed in London whieh gas e great sur- prise to soeial economists. They were filed with the registrar -general and showed that the death rate was rela- tively lower in the larger cities of Eng- land than in the small ones. The rate in London was 15.5 per 1,000 inhabit- ants; in Liverpool, 19.9.; in Hull, 15.8 and in Sheffield, 19.1; but in the town of Plymouth it was 23.5 ; in Salford, a suburb of Maneh.ester, 25.9; in Bolton, 25.8, and in Burnley, 25.1. Though the sanitation of large cities is, in the main, better than that in the smaller towns, the transieut pcpulation is larger in the former, and moreover, the big cities usually maintain a larger number of public, penal and charitable institu- tions, hospitals, asylums, and prisons, which add materially to the death rate The figures filed with the registrar - general in London caused surprise to many who had accepted it as a funda- mental truth that in the large cities where population is compacted and the battle of life is carried on under con- ditions unfavorable to health, the death rate is larger than in the country, svhere there are ample room, abund- ant ventilation and less of the seden- tary life of a great city.

" Naw Zealand is not a paradise, but it is infinitely ahead of any country in the world," says P. Allsop, of Auckland, New Zealand. "The problem of providing for the unemployed in New Zealand is about solved. In fast, the unemployed are very, very few. The same may be said of the tramp question. Tramps are be- coming very scarce there now, though six years ago they were as numerous as they are in Canada. The few remain- ing are the incorrigible cases. When they die off the tramp will be known no more in New Zealand. These are but two of a great -many remarkable changes wrought in the country in a few years. All has been wrought by the socialistic policy begun. The country is pretty far advanced in socialism, The experiments have been so entirely satisfactory that when the government went to the country with a much more advanced policy last De- cember the policy was indorsed by an enormous majority. "The common people of New'Zealand are far in advance of the same class in this cauntey for the reason that the eight-hour system has been rigorously observed, which has provided time for reading and thought. "Strikes have been done away with by the substitution of boards of con- ciliation and arbitration. The law makes it obligatory in ail disputes that makes it obligatory in all disputes be- tween employers and employes that the subject of dispute shall be submitted to the board of coneiliation. This board to fix a limit upon the amount which may be deposited in a postal bank toth- erwise they would crowd the private banks out of exietenee. The lunit is £500. "Women vote in New Zealand. We have very advanced laws on the sub- ject of temperance. WE DAVE LOCAL OPTION with the provision that the question must be submitted to the referendum every three years. The sale of liquor can only be prohibited by a three-fifths vote ; on the other hand, even a single additional license can not be granted without a three-fiftbs vote. But a re- duetion in the number of saloons can be made by a bare majority, although the number of saloons can not be re - dined more than 25 per cent. "The government has also establish- ed a life insurance which has. been so popular that the government now does more insurance business than all the private companies combined. "There are also two or tbree gov- ernment farms for the unemployed ; but as I have already said, the unemployed are getting pretty seam now. These farms are merely experiments. "The factory laws are far ahead of those in this country, and they are en- forced. It is obligatory upon employ- ers to provide dining rooms apart from the work rooms for their employes. Eight hours and no more constitute a day's work. No child under 15 years of age is permitted to work in a fac- tory. The laws apply on the terra. In the city stores must be closed on Sun- days and also half a day during the week. And these half holidays must be paid for. All these laws are rigid- ly enforced. "Government works on an enormous scale have been undertaken on the co- operative plan. That is, the contrac- tor is eliminated entirely, The govern- ment deals direetly with the men who do the work. And they find it a very easy matter to get along without the contractor. "To sum it all up, every one in New Zealand is very much pleased with the new departures. Further advances will (no doubt constantly be made in the di- rection of state socialism." HAD TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY. A Colonial Govertinient Could Not Protect Mt Englishman Who Kilted a Black. Thomas Wilkinson, who arrived at is composed of five men; two chosen New York last week, comes to the by the employes, two chosen by the em- 'United States as a sant of exile from ployers, while a Judge of the Supreme the Island of Jamaica.

As Mr, Wilkinson explained it, there The defeated party in en appeal must are three eaements in thejamaica pay the costs. The two boards are to popu- lation, the whites, who axe feW , the browns, who are more, and the blacks, who exceeds tha whites and the browns, together. The blacks are for the most part uneducated ,euperstitious, and dis- satisfied under English rule. The browns side wit h. t he whites against the blacks. Since the summary suppression of Gordon's insurrection in 1865, the blacks have been orderly and law-abid- ing, to the extent, at least, that there has been no open outbreak. but have gradually regained their old attitude of insubordination and surly insolence. They are spoiling for a fight, be said, and he expects another race conflict. CALLED HIM " PONCHEE" The story of Mr. Wilkinson's trouble is this: He was going toward the door of his house, where he lived alone, early in the evening of May 22. Several men were standing in the doorway of an adjoining shop when he passed. They were noisy. One of them called out "Ponchee 1" " Don't you call me Ponchee I" said Mr. Wilkinson, for the term is one of all intents and purposes courts of law. They have power to ,sunorton witnesses and to punish for contempt. The moral. effete; of these boards has been most wholesome, I)isputes between employers and employes have been reduced to a minimum. The weaker party will yield rather than risk the payxnents of costs unless he has a good cause. But the workingmen in particular are delight- ed with the system. ."New Zealand is now very prosper- ous compared to what it was a few years ago. Thus prosperity is attrib- uted to the land tax and land policy of the government. This is not the sin- gle tax, but approaches it in principle, The land tax is not a tax on land, but a tax on land values. It ranges from a penny to the pound to threepence to the pound, with an extra penny added for absentees. The effect of this has been reduced to alien ownership. Euro- pean landlords soon get tired of pay- ing the heavy tax. They very soon be- come more than willing to sell out in small parcels and at low figures. This hes precisely the effect intended -it gives actual settlers an opportunity to obtain homes at reasonable figures. Large estates are rapidly breaking up - in a, few years they will cease to exist. I should say in this connection that ac- tual settlers are permitted to have land to the value of £500 exempt from tax- ation. Besides this we have the gradu- ated income tax. All incomes under £300 are exempt; from £&00 to £1000 the tax is 2 1-2 per cent.; all over £1000 pays 5 per cent tax. All corporations and absentees pay the full 5 per cent. without exemption. These two taxes take the place of the old property tax, which has been abolished. " The Government obtains large tracts of land which it leases to actual settlers for 999 years. If the settler is deserving, and he can not lease the land, if he is not, the gov- ernment will LEND HIM MATERIAL, to the value of £20 to build a house; then it will allow him a certain sum per acre for clearing the land; it will also provide him not more than three days of eight hours each per week,with work on roads or other public im- provements, so that he may support himself and family until he can raise crops. The government is reimbursed for all this byithe increase in land val- ues due toincreased population, on which it collects a tax, as I have al- ready said. "The government borrows money in Europe in large sums, which it lends to the farmers. The government pays 3 par cent. interest and charges the farmer 5 per cent. As a matter of fact, the farmer pays 6 per cent par m annu, 1 per cent.into it of which goes a sinkin.gfund to cancel the principal. After paying 6 per cent. per year for seveni ty-threa years, the debt s extin- guished. This plan has been an entire success so far as it has been tried. In- terest rates were formerly very high. " The government owns the telegraph the telephones 'and the railroads in New Zealand. One interesting feature of the government ownership of rail- ways is that in the country districts where the settlers are some distance from schools the railways carry the children to and from sebool free of charge. It is interesting to note that the railroads are beginning to pay well since they came under government con- trol, although they were unprofitable ander private ownership. The govern- ment also manages the parcels delivery, or express businees. as it is called in America. 'Another very popular feature in New .Zealand is the post banks. They have proved burn easel y popular -so pop- ular that, it has been found necessary derision and insult. Stewart, who was one of the crowd in front of the shop, anade an answer which angered Mr. Wilkinson, and the two fell to blustering. Two other ne- groes backed up Stewart, and Wilkin- son was forced back, step by step, for almost ninety feet. Stewart stripped off his coat, and Wilkinson drew a re- volver and struck hint in the face with the butt. Then as all the negroes leaped forward, he fired. Stewart fell, and the other two ran. Wilkinson went directly to the police station near by and gave himself up. The taloa was at Mandeville. The town was crowded with blacks of the worst character. They made open threats that no matter what the decision of the jury, Mx. Wilkinson should die after he trial was over. The prisoner was moved from the jail to the court under heavy es- corts of constabulary. SMUGGLED AWAY. The crowds in the town did not de- crease. As the news spread through the mountainous districts of Manchester, that the white nian's law would let the slayer of Stewart escape, more and more of the natives came in. They sought quaxrels with whites an the street. They lost no opportunity to in- sult ow terrify women. At length Mr. Wilkinson received a proposition from I he Colonial Seeretarythrough Sir Hen- ry Blake, Governor of Jamaica. It was that the Government would advance to Mir. Wilkinson his passage money to New York, and provide him with suffi- cient money to remain in New York far some time. The amount was in - (Teased by subscriptions of citizens who believed that there would be no peace or safety in Jamaica until Mr. Wilkin- son was gone. The Government told him that it would not attempt to pro- vide pian further with police protection if he did not accept the offer. Under the eirounietances, Mr. Wilkin- son consented to go. He was smuggled to Kingston, travelling most of the time by night. Hs is on his way to Chicago to look up some property he owns there. 4„. 9:34: For Infants and Children.

Rail- road men axe not, as a rale, either heartless or intentionally heedless, but they are so persistently annoyed by the travellinublie, in the way ot senseless and unreasonable questions, that they invariably adopt, for self- defeirse, a curtness that is foreign to their natures.
