THE RICHMOND PLANET VOL XVII NO 47 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1900. THE LATEST RETURNS. ARALLE ENG The latest returns from every section of the country show that the election last Tuesday was a veritable Republican landslide. McKinley has 284 electoral votes with Idaho and Nebraska [Bryan's own state] in doubt. They have 11 electoral votes and placed in the McKinley column as claimed by the Republicans would give him 285 electoral votes. The House of Representatives is Republican, there being 202 Republicans elected and 147 Democrats with 8 districts doubtful. HIPPER - ENG. COLUMBUS - D. The Senate will stand 49 Republicans, 27 Democrats and 9 Independents. Wise in the Second Virginia District, Wilson in the Fourth District, Walker in the Ninth District and Hubbard in the tenth District will contest the elections of the House of Representatives who were counted in. The latest returns up to the hour of going to press show as follows: KENTUCKY. Bryan carries the state by about 8000. Beekham (Democrat) claims it by 4000.

The entire legislative ticket with one exception is Republican. The colored people in this city did not manifest the usual interest in the election and even in Jackson Ward where they have been wont to stand in long lines, awaisting an opportunity to cast their ballots, only the vote usual in a municipal contest was polled. The Democratic managers had anticipated a contest and no challenging was resorted to. They expected it seems, the House to be Republican and they did not intend to permit this ward to prove the excuse for the ousting of Congressman John Lamb. In none of the precincts in the Ward save the 1st was unusual interest noticeable. As a result of the contest, Gen. Edgar Allan polled the 1st Precinct, 188; 2nd Lamb, 52; 2nd Precinct: Allan, 311; Lamb, 88; 3rd Precinct: Allar, 338; Lamb, 116; 4th Precinct: Allar, 67; Lamb, 192. Total, Allan, 831; Lamb, 898. There are 8000 Republican voters in this ward. Allan's vote in the city of Richmond was 2510 and Lamb's 7,873. Lamb's majority, 4,583. McKinley's vote in this city was 2780 and Bryan's, 6046. Bryan's majority, 3316. Manchester went for Bryan by a plurality of 246 and Lamb by a plurality of 385. The vote in the last Ward was Lamb, 155; Allan, 44; 20d Ward, Lamb, 143; Allan, 43; 3rd Ward, Lamb, 164; Allan, 156; 4th Ward, Lamb, 807; Allan, 91. Chesterfield went Democratic by over 600. Allan carried Goochland county by 300 majority. The second District Maynard, Democrat, is claiming the election over Wise, Republican. It is needless to announce that the Republicans do not concede this claim. In the Fourth District Lassiter, Democrat, is claiming his election over Wilson, Republican. The fight between Gen. James A. Walker and Judge Rhea was close. Both sides claiming the election. It was a strange sight in this city to witness the disposition of the most radical democrats to evade a positive declaration as to Bryan's election. Despite the enthusiasm, no one risked money on the result. In discussing the matter, knowing ones would say that McKinley would be elected. The scenes at 8th and Broad Streets, where the "Evening News" had a megaphone and a magic lantern in operation was amusing. The same conditions prevailed at the Times Building, 10th and Bank Sts. Here a band of music added to the festivities. The "fun" commenced at about 7:30 p. m. Tuesday evening. Report of Democratic gains in this area went upon the bulletin and she long horn told the rest, to the waiting multitude. The yells were many and could be heard for a mile or more. But then a name 9 o'clock and then 10 o'clock and then—report from Croker conceding New York and Illinois to the Republicans. PRESIDENT WILLIAM MCKINLEY RE-ELECTFD TUESDAY, NOV. 6TH, 1900.

Place Where Immigrants Must An- sswer Many Questions. ina eomeasene eee GREAT crowd of people is pushing against the rope that has been stretched along the -outer edge of the walk in front of the *arge office on the Battery. Men and women are struggling with one an- sother in their endeavor to get to the front. Four policemen parade up and down the line, swinging little canes in = vain attempt to keep order. From the door of the building “a stream of immigrants is pouring. ‘There are men clad in clothing made ‘of queer cloth and cut in quaint shapes. There are women—mostly without head covering—dressed in the pictur- esque costumes of the far-away coun- tries. Some are leading by the hands little children attired in miniature imi- tation of old women and old men, and others carry in their arms big bundles vot shawls and rags, beneath the cor- mers of which peer the shining eyes of infants. ‘Those coming down the steps have ‘met their relatives and their friends. Those witliout the rope are seeking the loved ones who have come from be- Yond the sea, There is a wild jargon of Woices—a strange commingling of many tongues. Just off the walk, up toward the Battery park, an old man Jn a long coat, a skull cap, with gray beard and stooped shoulders has thrown his arms around his son and kissed him on the cheek. Not far from ‘here a young woman stands bewildered and alone. Her escort who had met her “on the borders of the strange land has deft her for a moment, and she has ‘deen surrounded by a horde of rapa- scious expressmen. Within the build- ing, close to the identification desk, is a tall, lank Dutchman. On his head is an odd little Dutch cap. His trousers have a hitch and his coat has a swing that betrays his nationality. It has only Deen a few days since he discarded the A. ER OO gs hen | \Ga ks Ne | swooden shoes of his fatherland and his ‘baggage bears about it the alr of dykes and ditches. To each one of the at- tendants who passes he says, in low Dutch: “Have you seen my Jacob? ‘Tell me if yon have seen my Jacob?” Out on the esplanade three Turks are waking salams to an aged father. An old Russian woman, speechless with Joy, is clinging like a child to the skirts “of a daughter who led the way to the wonderful America. And above it all may be heard the rollicking laugh of the Irish lad, surrounded by his friends who have preceded him and,are al- seady giving him information on the ins and outs of city polities. The ship has come in, And some ome with joy and some with sadness, If you care to study the great foreign population of America, as it comes to us in the original forng you should ‘pend one day with the commissioners of immigration. Last year 400,000 im- migrants came to this coutry—a pret- ty good indication of the rapidity with which the land of liberty is filling up. You doubtless have seldom given heed to the care that must be exercised on the part of the government officiale who pass on the right of these people to come among us and make this land their own. When the gates have once deen opened they are our people. Ts it a wonder, then, that they are closely scrutinized by the gatekeeprs? Last year, in round numbers, 35,000 of the immigrants were deported. They got no further than the examination room of the special board of inquiry, and their glimpse of the land which they had. hoped to inhabit extended only to the trees in Battery park. Long years of practice have made the system of the commissioners almost Perfect. When the ship first enters the harbor she is placed in quarantine by the New York state medical board. If any of the passengers are found with contagious diseases they are detained at Swinburne and Hoffman islands. This is the work of the state authori- ties. After that the United States im- migration officials from the marine hos- pital boardethe vessel and examine all for diseases of the eyes, the throat, ete. The cabin passengers are exam. ined aboard ship, but the steerage passengers are examined in the barge office. They are transferred from the ocean liner on a barge and are sent through each department as rapidly ‘as possible. The expedition with which the officials transact their inquiri-s and examinations may be understue:! when it is known that trom 2,60 +: 5,000 fares are passed upon in a ay. When the immigrant first srrives at the darge office his name fs entered in & book in alphabetical order. This is called the identification book, and is kept at a desk in the front of the building on the ground floor, where all Inquiries in regard to friends and relatives are answered. No immigrant, unless he have a manifest card—that is, a card of directions, stating ex- plicitly where he is going, which is is- sued by the railroad or steamship com- Pany at the point at which he starts— is allowed to leave the building until some friend calls for him. If he have no card and no one comes for him he is retained for. five days in what is called the “New York pen.” ‘This in reality is a commodious room furnished with comfortable seats and benches. During the immigrant's stay there he is fed at the expense of the steamship corapany that brought him over. The meals are furnished by a restaurateur located in the building, who pay’s the r Paya We ao a 1} Seah z = MBI WZ 4 eS ES x aN if le E a rn i = REREERICEN USEING Gon Sa ce government $5,000 a year for the con- cession and furnishes a bond of like amount as a guarantee that the food shall be pure and palatable. ‘The ex- pense to the steamship company is 50 cents a day for each immigrant de- tained. If at the end of five days no one calls for the immigrant he is re- turned to the country whence he came at the expense of the company that brought him here. Although he has already passed the state quarantine, each immigrant as he comes in his turn is c:osely examined by three doctors, and if he be found sick ‘or in any way indisposed he is sent to the medical department on Long Island and the steamship company which he patronized is charged $1.80 a day until he is released. If he pass the medical examination satisfactorily he then goes before the registry clerk. Here his name is entered and he is asked leading questions as to his ability to gain a livelihood in the new country to which he has come; as to his past record— whether or not he has been a criminal, and whether or not he is likely to be- come a pauper. Sometimes queer an- swers are brought out by these ques- tions. An Irish girl with red cheeks and beaming with good nature was asked the other day how she expected to earn enough money to keep her, and ‘she replied, as her cheeks got ‘still redder: | “Shure, and it's Pat I'm going to marry.” “Where is Pat?” asked the clerk. “Shure and isn't this Pat?" said the girl, pointing to the stalwart laddy- buck standing at her side who had come over in the same ship with her. | “And what do you expect to do?” asked the clerk, turning to the man, “Shure,” said Pat, “wn' it’s meself that will get on the police force.” If the answers are not satisfactory to the clerks the immigrant is turned over to the special board of inquiry. ‘There three examinations are held. At the first the immigrant appears alone. At the second his friends appear for him, and at the third hearing the en- tire case is reviewed. If the ease is de- cided adversely, the immigrant, unless | an appeal to Washington is made, is at vie Un once deported at the expense of the line bringing him here. The attendants about the building must necessarily be extensive linguists. All of them speak at least seven or cight languages, and the chief of the interpreters speaks 26, In all there are 242 languages and dialects spoken by the officers of the immigration com- mission. When the immigrant has been passed upon by the examining staffs and he has been given a clean, moral and physical record, he is soon sent on the completion of his journey. The rep- resentatives of all the railroads in the country haye offices in the barge build- ing and they conduct the passengers that are to go to their respective lines safely to the stations. And so each day when the great ships come in hundreds and hundreds of these new people are going to the east, to the west, to the north and to the south, becoming farmers and artt- sans and mechanics, swelling the mil- lions, strengthening the sinews of the mighty nation, and making it still mightier and stronger. = El ERG Mammy—Why do you call him “Jonesy?” Johnny—Well, you see, his name is Jones, but we call him “Jonesy” tor ghort.—Puck.

Ces © FARTER: BEFORE. Ge AFTER 4 Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and Ay bair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing toacertainty that man; of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race throngh this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through « fortunate AN circtimstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. Tt was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and A met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of N that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true toall that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every aN member of the colored race, because they found it to cause fe hair to grow AN long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning, Now, whenever 2 genuine article appears upon the market there are always a h number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of oiher N people’s goods. Seeing our marked enccess, numerous firms bave entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are Ay Worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the bair AWN and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are ‘filled with animal fats, and do the hair moroharm than wet, To Ay these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not AWN Wve deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of ull Hair Tonics, AN OZON?O. fas Which is sold with an iron-clad guarantee to do all that is claimed for it, or we will forfeit $50.00. Now, we ask you a plain question—would we abso- Ax \wtely agree to forfeit $50.00 if you are dissatisied with our preparations, ANN if they were not true to all we claim for them? We have advertised for several years under this guarantee, and we are glad to say that every one A Who has used Ozono has been satistied in every respect. A rocco Regie are to-day using our preparations, and every purchaser recommends Ozono as the King of all Hair Tonics.

Many firms are advertising remedies to straighten hair, but when they-send the preparation they tell ‘ou to use hot irons. Friends, do not use hot irons ; they will burn up the lite of the hair, and catioe it to drop out, Ozone straightens without any AON outside assistance. Nothing but Ozono is necessary, and the hair stays straight forever. You can stop the use at any time. The good effects on K the hair are seen in a day or two after tho first application.

THOUSANDS of Democrats helped to do it. The Democratic Party knows it too by this time. IRRESPONSIBLE demagogues may run states, but they will not be permitted to control the nation. WHEN you touch a rich man's money, you touch his heart, his soul, and his religion and all of his efforts will be devoted to "wiping you off the map." The Democrats would not walk into GEN. EDGAR ALLAN's trap. They gave him Jackson Ward and took every where else in sight. COLORED men, let us be careful of our conduct. Our enemies are sore this morning, but let us give no cause for criticizing our behaviour. Loud, boisterous rejoicing except among ourselves can do us no good.

Editorial and publisher's announcement. THE SUCCESS OF MR. MO KINLEY. There-election of President McKinley while generally anticipated has nevertheless been a source of gratification to those colored men who were luke-warm in his support, and dissatisfied with his policies. In the light of present events and future possibilities, there was no middle ground which one could occupy. While he had not come up fully to our expectations, he had gone a long distance towards a realization of our desires. He was surrounded by party managers to whom he owed allegiance and no where have we observed that he failed to render all of the assistance in his power with a view to comply with their wishes. His individual opinions are known, but he yielded them at the demand of others. So true was this that he was finally silenced and it was announced that he would make no speeches and receive no delegations. His declaration that "forible annexation would be criminal aggression," was being used "by his political opponents from one section of the country to the other." He had drawn to himself a group of devoted admirers, while those who opposed him were filled with disgust over his apparent self-statification by the abandonment of principe which he had so many times espoused. He had recognized the brother in black, Lyons, CHEATHAM, WRIGHT, LYNCH, POWELL and a host of others were ready to testify to that, while the "lastord of the campaign" showing that eight million dollars were paid annually to the cul- ored employees of Uncle Sam who held positions all the way from the Register of Treasury to the juniorships of which Mr. BRYAN complained was a most festive argument among the colored voters in the doubtful states. Mr. McKINLEY has won and many an inspiration of thankfulness and prayer to God has gone up from cabins in the lonely southern homes. When Mr. BRYAN can square his party with his speeches, then perhaps our people will lead the way in his direction, and in a manner strikingly similar to the journey of the Children of Israel from the oppressions of Egypt But, until that time, Mr. BRYAN we must smile over the success of Republican Party in its flight for the control of the National government. THE DEFEAT OF MR.BRYAN The Democratic Party has experienced a crushing defeat. We have never as yet been able to understand how it could hope for a signal victory. Its past record has been very bad. It handicapped Mr. Bryan in the same way that it embarrassed Mr. CLEVELAND. The latter was backed by the moneyed men of the country which found its name in the common designation of the "Gold-bugs." The former drew his inspiration and support from the "Silver kings." Behind him were the worst elements of the republic. His text was the Declaration of Independence, "the consent of the governed and teachings of the Scriptures, and yet the solid South loomed up in mockery of all that he dared to say. While Mr. Bryan was personally sincere, his utterances were made for a party which was notoriously insincere. The people were not slow to remember the action of the Devil in quoting Scripture and tempting Christ. While they saw no similarity between the great apostle of free silver and Satan, they nevertheless realize that the Party of treason, flat money, a debased suffrage, and of anarchist tendencies was making a bid for power with a hope that Mr. Bryan's garments would be sufficiently wide and thick to hide its deformities. The plea for the Filipinos reminded the country of the fable of the lamb and the wolf. Certainly if the rights of the brown man were insecure in the hands of the Republican Party, it was more unsafe in the hands of the Democratic Party. The latter organization was known to be irresponsible so far as fulfilling its promises are concerned. It is no surprise then that thousands who were opposed to imperialism took the same view of the situation as did Senator GEORGE F. HOAR of Massachusetts. It has always been apparent to our minds that when the business interest of the country are united upon any given policy success must surely follow. Then again, the fact that this country is enjoying an era of unquestioned prosperity was a condition which no logic could efface. The very reason for which Mr. BRYAN alone could be elected w's removed as an issue in the canvass. The smoke-stacks of the country, the rise in the price of wheat all served as McKINLEY campaigners and dissipated all hope of the Democratic chieftain's success. So far as the citizens of color are concerned, it is well. He had nothing to hopes from his elevation to power Moreover, it was well known by those who have taken the pains to watch events, that a well organized movement is already on foot to reduce the cloaked man to the condition of actual slavery by the repeal of the 15th Amendment to he Constitution of the United States. Colored man asked with reason, what to expect if in a ward, city, and state election, they were bull-dozed and defrauded, what would follow in the nation should the Democratic Party be entrenched in power. Then too, Mr. Bryan's journey to that Mecca of northern democracy, New York city, and his declaration that "great is Tammany and Croker is its prophet" caused not only the colored men to be alarmed, but the money centres as well. It is then not to be doubted that this was the crowning act in the campaign of blunders. Only a few weeks previous colored men had been clubbed, shot and made to flee for their lives in this great city of Democracy. But why comment further. The story is soon told. Mr. Bryan is now pondering over the election returns that tell of a Waterloo which can well be compared with the fate which overtook the great NAPOLION. We feel proud of the opportunity to congratulate Dr. P. B. Ramsey for his success indental practice in the past. His reputation is well known throughout the state.

Sud Happenings in the Philippine Islands—Killed Him. SAN MARCELENO, P. I., Sept. 19, 1900. Prt. Wm Weekly of Co. I. 25th Infantry was shot and almost instantly killed by private Willmore of Co. M. 25th Infantry, as it's predecessor it is presumed it was the result of gambling. It happened at Iba, the regimental headquarters. The deceased was a native or Missouri and enlisted in St. Louis for the 24th Infantry. He was honorably discharged from the organization and re-enlisted in the 25th Infantry on arrival at Rt. Logan He was made regimental clerk and remained in that position until the regiment left for the Philippines. He was a fine specimen of physical manhood, and fond of demonstrating the same. When the Battalion headquarters were opened at San Filipe and the commissary es ablished he was made clerk and hed that position till he was ordered to Iba just prior to his death. On Friday evening at 7 o'clock a grand entertainment was given by the Lyeum of the Post Y. M. C. A. which was attended in large numbers by the natives. They enjoyed it heartily not withstandin' they could only under stand the motions. The program was as follows: Shake's perian recitation, Richard III, Sargeant Turner Pain; "The downfall of Kentucky Lemus" (comic burlesque); "The man who didn't know how to keep his money," Mr Wm. Anderson and Co. Serg't Turner as Richard III was all that could be desired, and the work of Messrs. Wm. and Luke Anderson, Dari and Isom are unequaled. The Peace Commissioners are now in charge. The result of their influence can not be determined at this early date. Another wind storm has set in. STAFF CORRESPONDENCE ENDOWMENT OF $150 00 PAID. RICHMOND, VA., Nov. 7th, 1900.

All the Doubtful States in the Republican Column. THE EMPIRE STATE IN THE LEAD. New York Gives a Plurality of 150,000 For the Republican Candidates. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Maryland. New Jersey and Delaware Also Add Their Electoral Votes to the Support of President McKinley's Administration. New York, Nov. 7.—It became evident at a very early hour last evening that the election of McKinley and Roosevelt was assured. At 8:30 o'clock there from nearly two-thirds of the election district of greater New York had been received, indicating beyond question that Bryan and Stevenson could not expect more than 25,000 or 30,000 plurality in this Democratic A. B. PRESIDENT M'KINLEY. stronghold, and unless there was a landslide in the outside counties beyond all reasonable expectation the pivotal state of New York had declared in unmistakable terms, although by a greatly reduced majority, for the Republican candidates. As the night progressed it only severed to confirm this judgment. The roll call of electoral votes is apparently as follows: McKinley-California, 9; Connecticut, Delaware, 3; Illinois, 24; Indiana, 15; Iowa, 13; Maine, 6; Maryland, 8; Massachusetts, 15; Michigan, 14; Minnesota, 9; New Hampshire, 4; New Jersey, 10; New York, 36; North Dakota, 3; Oregon, 4; Ohio, 23; Pennsylvania, 32; Rhode island, 4; Vermont, 4; Washington, 4; West Virginia, 6; Wisconsin, 12; Wyoming, 3; Kansas, 10. Total, 277. Bryan—Alabama, 11; Arkansasa, 8; Colorado, 4; Florida, 4; Georgia, 13; Louisiana, 8; Mississippi, 9; Missouri, 17; Montana, 3; Nevada, 3; North Carolina, 11; South Carolina, 8; Tennessee, 12; Texas, 15; Utah, 3; Virginia, 12. Total, 142. Unreported—Idaho, 3; Kentucky, 13; Nebraska, 8; South Dakota, 4. Total, 28. The returns from Illinois betrayed a like condition. The Republican plurality of 1896 was greatly reduced, but it was still far too large to be overcome. Copyright, 1900, by Rockwood, N. Y. VICE PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. On the other hand, the hand from Indiana, Michigan, the two Dakotas, Utah and Wyoming, as well as Nebraska, seemed to indicate strong Republican gains over 1836. Delaware, Maryland and West Virginia have given decisive Republican pluralities for the national ticket. The count in several of the far western states was naturally so delayed as to give little indication of the outcome there, but they had ceased to have a determining effect and before 10 o'clock the Democratic leaders had given up the contest, and it was announced that Mr. Bryan had gone to bed and was sound asleep. The whole story is easily and briefly told. The Republican ticket will have a larger electoral vote than four years ago, but in the larger states of the east and middle west, the pluralities have been greatly reduced. Massachusetts had fallen from 174,000 to 56, New York from 268,000 to 150,000 and Illinois from 142,000 to 100,000 or less. The following are the pluralities reported at this hour. They are largely estimated: Alabama, 75,000 Dem.; Arkansas, 75,- 000 Dem.; California, 10,000 Rep.; Col- orado, 35,000 Dem.; Connecticut, 23,- 000 Rep.; Delaware, 3,000 Rep.; Florida, 20,000 Dem.; Georgia, 40,000 Dem. Idaho, not reported; Illinois, 90,000 Rep.; Indiana, 30,000 Rep.; Iowa, 100, 000 Rep.; Kansas, 20,000 Rep.; Kentucky, in doubt; Louisiana, 30,000 Dem.; Maine, 25,000 Rep.; Maryland, 10,000 Rep.; Massachusetts, 80,000 Rep.; Michigan, 30,000 Rep.; Minnesota, 85- 000 Rep; Mississippi, 45,000 Dem; Missouri, 250,000 Dem; Montana, 18,000 Dem; Nebraska, 3,000 Rep; Nevada, 1,500 Dem; New Hampshire, 20,000 Rep; New Jersey, 50,000 Rep; New York, 135,000 Rep; North Carolina, 30,000 Dem; North Dakota, 8,000 Rep; Ohio, 75,000 Rep; Oregon, 12,000 Rep; Pennsylvania, 200,000 Rep; Rhode Isl est, 20,000 Rep; South Carolina, 40,000 Dem; Dakota, 12,000 Rep; in doubt; Tennessee, 15,000 Dem; Texas, 175,000 Dem; Utah, not reported; Vermont, 30,000 Rep; Virginia, 50,000 Dem; Washington, not reported; West Virginia, 100,000 Rep; Wisconsin, 100- 000 Rep; Wyoming, 3,000 Rep. PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE. Partial List of Members Elected to Senate and House. Philadelphia. Nov. 7.—The present state senate consists of 37 Republicans and 13 Democrats. Of these 12 Republicans and 12 Democrats hold over. Elections were held in 26 districts. Following are the successful candidates: First district, George A. Vare, Rep; 3d, F. A. Osbourn, Rep; 5th, William H. Berkelbach, Rep; 7th, John C. Grady, Rep; 9th, William C. Sproul, Rep; 11th, E. M. Herbst, Dem; 13th, Milton Heldebaugh, Rep; 15th, John E.

Stineman, Rep; 37th, John S. Fisher, Rep; 41st, A. G. Williams, Rep; 43d, C. L. Magee, Rep. and Dem; 45th, John W. Crawford, Rep; 47th, James D. Emery, Rep; 49th, A. E. Sisson, Rep. A. M. Smith, Rep., elected to assembly in Snyder county. Blair county—Quay Assemblymen G. M. Patterson and Edward P. Gamble elected. Fulton county—S. W. Kirk, Dem., elected representative. Somerset county—Koontz and Kendall, Reps., elected representatives. Huntingdon county—Taylor and Montgomery, Reps., are elected to the house. Luzerne county—Two anti-Quay, one Republican and three Democrats were elected to the house. The entire Democratic ticket, including three members of the legislature, is probably elected in Northampton county. Fayette county—Arenburg, McCune and Davis, Quay Reps., elected to the house. Venango county—Indications point to the election of Maloney, Dem., and Emery, Rep., as representatives. Lackawana county—For representatives: Reynolds, Rep., Flahery, Dem., James, Rep. and Philbin, Rep. John T. Harrison, Rep., was elected to the house in the Twenty-first Philadelphia district over the fusion candidate. Franklin county—Pomeroy and Weldy, Reps., elected to the house. Pike county—Westbrook, Dem., elected to the house. Lebanon county—For assembly Prof. Groh, Rep., and Prof. Bierman, Good Govt., are elected. Montgomery county—For representatives the Republican candidates, McGlathery, Barker, Murphy, DeHaven and Halderman, are elected by majorities ranging from 800 to 2,000. Chester county—The meager returns thus far indicate that fusion has lost, and that Senator Snyder, Rep., has been re-elected by an increased majority. The Republican candidates for the legislature, Lack, Cope, Coryell and Fox, are elected by smaller majorities. The Fifteenth and Twenty-seventh legislative districts of Philadelphia were carried by the Republicans against fusion. THE PENNSYLVANIA PLURALITY. Estimates Indicate McKinley's Lead Is Two Hundred, Thousand IS Two Hundred Thousand. Philadelphia, Nov. 7. — Estimates from one-half of the counties in Pennsylvania indicate a plurality for McKinley of over 200,000. In this city the fusion of the Democrats with the Municipal League cut down the Republican county majority, but J. Hampon Monroe, for city treasurer, and Jacob Singleton, for wills, are elected by more than 50,000 people. Pennsylvania's delegation in the next congress will not be less than 24 Republicans to 6 Democrats, as against 20 Republicans and 10 Democrats in the present congress. M. S. Quay's friends are claiming they will have a majority on joint ballot favorable to his re-election to the United States senate and the returns would appear to bear out this claim. The control of the state senate as between Quay and anti-Quay is in doubt, with chances favoring the Quay-ites, though the complete returns may give the organization of that body to the opponents of Mr. Quay. NEW JERSEY FOR M'KINLEY. Trenton, Nov. 7.—Incomplete returns from different parts of the state indicate that New Jersey has been carried for McKinley and Roosevelt by more than 50,000. The Republicans elect six of the eight congressmen, the same representation as last year, and will have an overwhelming majority in both houses of the legislature, insuring the election of a Republican to succeed William J. Sewell, Republican, as United States senator. The Democrats have only succeeded in carrying four out of 21 counties—Hudson, Hunterdon, Sussex and Warren. They have made a net loss of three members in the upper house of the legislature. The new senate will stand 16 Republicans to 4 Democrats and the house will contain 44 Republicans and 15 Democrats, the same as last year. The four Democratic senators are Cornish, of Warren, who holds over, Gebhardt, of Hunterdon, Martin, of Sussex, and Hudspeth, of Hudson. The two Democratic congressmen are Salmon of the Fourth district, who is re-elected, and McDermott, of the Seventh district, who succeeds the late Congressman Daly. Democrat. Congressman Howell, Republican, in the Third district, who it was thought would have a close fight, was elected by at least 2,000 plurality. NEW JERSEY ASSEMBLY.

Wilmington. Nov. 7.—Returns received up to a late hour indicate a Republican majority in New Castle county of 2,000 to 2,500. This will give the state to the Republicans by 1,200 to 1,500. The Democrats have carried Sussex and Kent counties, according to early reports, electing two senators and six out of ten representatives in Kent county and making gains in Sussex county. This makes it certain that the Democrats will have a majority of the next legislature. It is the first election district of New Castle. It is Prince Ford defeats James Hitchins for representative, a Democratic gain. In the Tenth Anniversary P. Holcomb, Dem. defends Husheback, Rep., another Democratic gain. Gains are also reported, but not officially, from Kent and Sussex counties, and the Democratic claim of the legislature seems well founded. THE RESULT IN MARYLAND. McKinley's Plurality 10,000-Perhaps a Solid Republican Delegation Baltimore, Nov. 7.—President McKinley carried Baltimore city by a majority of 6,995. The returns from the counties are meager, but official advice from 81 scattered precincts out of 354 give him 18,285, as against 16-197 for Bryan, thus assuring him a majority of at least 10,000 in the state. The defeat of the Democrats has been thorough and surprising, it being certain that they have lost five out of the six congressmen, with the probabilities in favor of a clean sweep by the loss of the other. The doubtful district is the Second, in which ex-Congressman J. Fred C. Talbot is the Democratic candidate and A. A. Blakeney the Republican aspirant. The returns, with one precinct missing, show a majority for Blakeney, and it is regarded as highly probable that he is elected. This means a net loss of two congressmen to the Democrats, the Fourth and First districts having been represented by Democrats, though Governor John Walter Smith, who was elected in the First, resigned soon afterward to become governor of the state. His business partner, State Senator John P. Moore, was nominated by the Democrats to succeed him, and his defeat was a source of great surprise, it being considered that he was practically sure of election. THE NEWS AT CANTON The President Reads the Returns at Ilis Home. Canton, O., Oct. 7.—President McKinley received the election returns last night at his home surrounded by a large number of his old friends and neighbors, including many ladies who came as the guests of Mrs. McKinley, to share with her the interest and excitement of this culminating event of the campaign. Direct wires connected the house with the Republican national headquarters at New York and at Chicago with Senator Hanna, at the Union club, Cleveland, and with the home of Governor Roosevelt, at Oyster Bay, so that the president was in constant telegraphic touch with his associate on the ticket and with the campaign leaders. The president made his headquarters in his library, where most of the gentlemen guests congregated, while Mrs. McKinley entertained the ladies in the parlor. The president was in his usual good humor, showing no signs of anxiety over the result. The president, in person, read aloud some of the returns, but refrained from making any commen whatever on the result and accepting with unruffled composure the favorable reports which began to come in at an early hour. Secretary Cortelyon read most of the dispatches, some of the more cheering announcements being heartily applauded by the guests. Most of the early advices were fragmentary, and inconclusive, but the strong indications that New York and probably Illinois had gone for McKinley was received with great satisfaction. BRYAN SLEEPS PEACEFULLY Takes an Evening Nap While Awaiting the Returns. Jincoln, Neb. Nov. 7.—Mr. Bryan received election returns at his residence in this city. His house was fairly over run with newspaper men and telegraph operators. Not only was the first floor of the house largely given up to them, but two of the rooms in the second story also. Four telegraph wires were run in the house. At 8 o'clock when the newspaper men congregated at Mr. Bryan's house sought to secure a statement from him, they were told that he had just gone to sleep and could not be disturbed. When he retired to his own room he glanced over the returns with apparent interest and then expressing a desire to make up some of the rest he had lost in the past few weeks, lay down and was asleep in less than five minutes. Mr. Bryan remained in his private apartments during the entire evening and slept the greater part of the time. He did not make his appearance in the parlor of his house where the newspaper correspondents were congregated, until 11 o'clock and his coming at that time was for the purpose of notifying the press that he would have nothing to say for publication during the night. He added that he might possibly give out a statement today. After this assurance, the visitors withdrew and soon afterwards the lights were extinguished and the house presented no signs of animation. Mrs. Bryan spent the evening entertaining her company and gave no sign either of CONGRESSMEN CHOSEN. The Dominant Party Strengthened in the National House. A NET REPUBLICAN GAIN OF FIVE.

Atlanta, Nov. 7.—Bryan's majority in Georgia will be able to宠宠 40,000, which is 28,000 less than that give Governor Candler a month ago. The majority for Bryan shows an apparent increase ever that of four years ago of about 4,000. But little interest was manifested and a very light vote was polled. The delegation to Washington remains solidly democratic. Coffey县, in south Georgia, for McKinley, and the town of Fitzgerald registered a heavy Republican majority. Bryan's majority in Atlanta showed a large increase, the Republicans falling to carry the Fourth ward, which went for McKinley in 1896. Bullet Butler, S. Nov. 7.—The election in North Carolina was very quiet. Returns indicate that Bryan's majority will not be less than 30,000. Seven Democratic congressmen are elected, with two in doubt, the Eighth and Ninth districts. It is almost certain that the Republicans have carried the Ninth. Democratic State Chairman Simmons is elected United States senator to succeed Butler, Populist, by 40,000 over his opponent, Gen. Julian S. Carr. West Virginia's Plurality Parkersburg, W. Va., Nov. 7.—W. M. O. Dawson, chairman of the Republican state committee, estimates McKinley's plurality at 17,000 and the election of all four Republican congressmen and a majority of 20 on joint ballot in the legislature, insuring the reelection of Senator Elkins. He states that the entire Republican ticket will be elected by majorities slightly below McKinley. Democrats claim a majority on joint ballot in the legislature. Both Sides Claim Kentucky. Louisville, Nov. 7.—The result of the election in Kentucky is in doubt, with both sides claiming the state and presidential tickets. The Democrats may be considered to have a trifle the better of the argument. The Courier Journal says returns from two-thirds of the counties in the state show Bryan and Beckham majorities. The result will depend on the size of the majority in the Eleventh congressional district, which is heavily Republican. Republican Landslide in Michigan Detroit, Nov. 7.—There has been a veritable Republican landslide in Michigan and President McKinley has carried the state by a majority variously estimated from 75,000 to 100,000. The entire Republican state ticket has also been elected, although by a smaller majority. The state legislature which elects a successor to Senator James McMillan, will be overwhelmingly Republican and Senator McMillan's reelection is a certainty. Bryan's Texas Majority 175,000. Houston, Tex, Nov. 7.—The Democratic state ticket, headed by Joseph D. Sayers for governor, is elected by a majority in excess of 100,000. The legislature is almost solidly Democratic. It will elect Joseph W. Bailey United States senator to succeed Horace Chilton. It is estimated that the majority for state electors will not fall short of 175,000 and may go above that figure. California Republican by 10,000. San Francisco, Nov. 7.>While the returns from the state at large and this city are very incomplete, enough are at hand to warrant the prediction that McKinley has carried California by a plurality of 10,000. The Republicans have elected congressmen from the First, Third, Fourth, Sixth and Seventh districts. The Second and Fifth districts are running very close. Brynn Wins in Montana. Butte, Mont., Nov. 7.—Returns from Silver Bow county, which casts about a fourth of Montana's vote, indicate that Bryan has carried the state by something like 20,000, that the Democratic fusion state ticket is elected, and that the fusionists will have a majority in the legislature, which elects two United States senators. Colorado Democratic. Denver, Colo., Nov. 7.—Returns received indicate that Bryan's plurality in the state will be from 30,000 to 40,000. Araphee county, including Denver, gives Bryan 6,000 to 8,000 majority. The result on the state ticket is in doubt, also the legislature, with the probability in favor of fusionists. Wyoming for McKinley. Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 7.—Returns from the state coming in slowly. Will be some hours before the result is known, but indications thus far are that the state is safe for McKinley and congressmen by 2,000 plurality. Democratic Galina in Massachusetts, Boston, Nov. 7.—President McKinley has carried Massachusetts by about 80,000 plurality, a reduction of nearly 180,000 from that of four years ago. The Republicans have elected ten and possibly eleven of the congressmen a few by an increased plurality over 1896 but in the majority of the districttheir candidates run behind those of four years ago. While the total vote for governor was somewhat behind that given the national candidate was reelected by a somewhat larger plurality than that received by President McKinley. The reduction in the Republican plurality was due not so much to the falling off in the party vote, but the return of the so-called Gold Democrats of 1896 to the regular Democratic ranks. The Republican vote showed a net loss of about 15 per cent. Indiana's Republican Majority Indianapolis, Nov. 7.—Indications point to a Republican majority in Indiana. A very heavy ballot was cast in the state. Aside from the clash in Clay county, where one man fell dead with 20 bullets in his body, the elec- THE RICHMND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA tion passed off without incident. Col. W. T. Durbin, the Republican gubernatorial candidate, run very close to the national ticket. Ten precincts in Marion county (Indianapolis) show a net gain of 251 for McKinley over 1896. The same ratio, if maintained, would give McKinley the county by 8,000 majors. Democratic congressmen have been elected in the Second and Third districts, while Republican congressional candidates were successful in the Sixth, Eighth, Tenth, Eleventh and Thirteenth districts. McKinley's Ohio Vote Unchanged McKinley's Ohio Vote Unchanged. Columbus, Nov. 7. At midnight less returns were received than at any previous election in Ohio at that hour. This is attributed to the unusually large vote and the full county and district tickets. There were seven tickets of presidential electors and five state tickets. Out of 3,109 precincts in Ohio the state committee had there at 10:00 clock from less than 200 and from very low county committeemen. Indications are that the vote be no material change in the office of 1836, when McKinley had a plurality of 51,309. McKinley's county gained 1,000. Providence, R. I., Nov. 7.—On an increased vote Bryan has made considerable gains in Rhode Island. McKinley's plurality of four years ago was 22,978. Only half of the 143 districts in the state have been heard from, those missing including most of those in the cities, with most of the 59 in Providence. McKinley's plurality will be about 20,000, it is believed. Providence, which in 1896 gave McKinley 8,211 plurality, while electing a Democratic mayor, has elected Granger (Dem.) by a plurality of less than 1,000. In 1896 every city and town in the state gave McKinley a plurality. Both Sides Claim Kentucky. Louisville, Nov. 7.—Both Democratic and Republican committees claim the state, though they furnish no figures in support of their claims. The Louisville newspapers make claims according to Husheback, Rep., another Democratic or Republican ticket in the campaign just closed. McKinley's majority in 180 out of 200 precincts in Louisville and the county is 4,059. In the same pre-county the majority of Yerkes, Republican candidate or Deckham, Democrat, is 4,498. The Democrats are claiming gains out in the state. Nebraska May Be Republican. Omaha, Nov. 7. At midnight 200 precincts out of 1,611 in the state had returned results of the election, 30 of these coming from Omaha and Doug- lass county. A majority of them give Republican gains which, if they hold good throughout the state, would indica- ce a Republican plurality of from 2,000 to 5,000. However, the fusionis say these returns are not significant of the real result and that the outlying districts will overcome these gains and give the state to Bryan by from 5,000 to 8,000. Iowa's Congressmen Republican. Des Moines, Ia., Nov. 7. It is ap- parent that Iowa is Republican by 100, 900, and a solid delegation of 11 Republicans will be sent to Washington. Republican Chairman Weaver says: "Iowa is McKinley by over 160,000, and we have elected all the congressmen." Democratic Chairman Ruffman says: "We conceive the state to McKinley by 50,000. We claim the election of Voll- mer in the Second congressional disti- t." Australasia's New Metropolis There is every probability that early in next year the site of the Australian federal capital will be decided and competitive plans for laying it out invaded. The idea is that it should be one of the finest cities of its kind in the world, enjoying a salubrious climate and possessing beautiful surroundings. Only the public buildings will be constructed at the cost of the commonwealth, all others being left to private enterprise. —Commercial Intelligence. Her Value.

THE JUSTICE SATURDAY, NOV. 10, 1900 A Lazy Pike County Man Hiram Lampson's Attempt to Get a Living Easily. THE intelligence of Pike county animals being famous all over the country," said Deacon Todgers, "no one was surprised when the agent for a big curcus came up here early this spring trying to collect five animals in general, but with a special yearning for wildcats and bears. He offered good prices, but the boys, knowing the difficulties of the case, didn't take much interest in his scheme. So everyone was surprised when Hiram Lampson, who has the reputation of being the laziest man in the whole county, spoke up and allowed he would furnish the agent with bears and wildcats enough to meet the demands of any ten circuses. "I ain't so foolish as I look," said Hiram, when I remonstrated with him. "Who is the best ventilroquist in this county? "You are,' I responded. "And who is the best mimic?' he asked. "You are, Hiram Lampson," I answered him, impatient like, 'And you are the biggest fool, too. Do you propose to give an entertainment for the benefit of Pike county bears, and charm them so that they will be willing to let you sell them to any circus agent who happens to be in the vicinity? Your undoubted talents may amuse a Sunday school class, but they won't carry you far along the Pike county bear and wildcat theatrical circuit, which seems to be your intention to organize.' Hiram looked hurt at my flow of sarcasm. "It's no wild animal vaudeville entertainment I'm going to get up, deacon," he said, earnestly. 'My plan is based on the understanding of wild animal nature I acquired sitting around in the woods on warm summer days when prejudiced observers thought I ought to be plowing. My muscles weren't very busy then, to be sure, but my intellect was working overtime.' "I was clean puzzled to see how Hiram was going to catch either bears or wildcats by means of ventrilloquism or mimicry. After making me promise not to give his plan away, he unfolded his scheme. "During these spring months what are Pike county animals busiest about? he asked. "Most of them are devoting their energies to looking after promising families,' said I. "To be sure, deacon, to be sure,' answered Hiram, with the air of a man who has gained an important point in an argument. 'Now take the case with bears. Will an old bear, an experienced bear, wander into any trap devised for the catching alive of unsuspecting brunts? But if a bear thinks its cub is in the trap it will blunder right ahead and so be trapped and exchanged for good money for the benefit of an intelligent but over-modest hunter." "Even then I didn't see through Hiram's plan. 'I don't see,' I argued, 'how you are going to get your cubs. Even the youngest and least suspicious of bear wives or mothers will look with doubt on your plan of starting a bear creche with her cubs. And it's certain no wildcat is going to commit her kittens to the tender mercies of Hiram Lampson. Day schools and nurseries are all right in their way, but I don't believe you can ever make them popular with Pike county wildcats." "Nonsense, deacon,' said Hiram, impatient. 'It's not a training school for teaching the bear cub or wildcat kitten idea to shoot that I'm after. I mean to bring my active intellect and justly famed powers of minicry into play. Down at the end of the big gulch I will build a pen with a little door to it. Then I will get up a tree and imitate the crying of a bear cup in distress. The call will seem to come from the pen. Any mother bear that hears it will hike for that pen, and won't rest until she has explored the inside. Once inside, that bear will stay until she is exchanged for shekels for the benefit of Hiram Lampson. And the same scheme will work all right with wildcats. Once let me get my plan in working order and any famine in the wild animal supply can promptly be averted by applying to your Uncle Hiram.' "I was more than shocked at the moral callousness of the man and the way he gloated over the prospective breaking up of happy, if belligerent, families. 'Hiram Lampson,' I said to him, solemnly, it's playing on the tenderest emotions of mother bears that you are proposing. It's using the mother love of unwary wildcats to draw them into captivity. You may prosper in your ungody scheme for awhile, but in the end fate will reach out and grab you by the neck and twist it.' "But did my solemn and well-chosen words of warning turn Hiram from his evil ways? Not a bit. Within three days he had his trap fixed. Then he climbed a nearby tree, sort of hid in the branches, and sent out a cry like a baby bear that has been caught in a trap. There's no denying Hiram had talent in his unsanctified way, for that call was the most natural-sounding thing I ever heard. And before Hiram had repeated it half a dozen times a big she bear came crashing through the bushes, hiked over to where the door was and then stopped. Hiram gave another call, which seemed to come from the corner of the pen. In rushed the old bear. Hiram pulled a string, and down fell the door of the pen. Hiram climbed down from the tree as pleased and happy as if he had done something to be proud of. "It's only rescuing that old bear from the wild woods and hills," he said, sort of exultant like, 'and giving her the benefits of civilization. When the circus agent carts her off he will show her what life in great cities is like. Blamed if I don't feel as if I was the original white man's burden bearer." And he swelled out his chest, like a man who has done all kinds of a charitable deed. "Hiram sold the bear to the circus agent for more money than he could have earned in three months. The next day he imitated the cry of a wildcat kitten in distressful circumstances, with the result that in less than an hour he had a small, but indignant, female wildcat in the pen. Hiram was the happiest man in Pike county, and began planning what he would do with all the money he saw coming. "You've made a good bundle now," I told him, "and it's time to cash in and get out of the game. Animals with the intelligence of Pike county bears and wildcats won't be made the victims of a perennial goldbrick game. And I've noticed both bears and wildcats prowling around, as if they suspected that pen of yours wasn't entirely a charitable institution." "But Hiram declared he wouldn't stop while he was fairly coining money. The next day he started after bear. Sure enough, as soon as he gave the bear cub cry, down from the hills came a big bear. But instead of going into the pen, the bear kept nosing about as if she suspected something was wrong. About a minute later she spied Hiram. You could fairly hear her brains working, she was thinking so hard. Being an old and experienced bear, it didn't take her long to figure out that the bear cub cry had come from Hiram. Talk about an angry bear. She started up the tree with the air of a bear who was determined to give at least one person a lesson on the evil of trifling with the affections of respectable mother bears. Hiram didn't wait for explanations, but hunted for a higher limb. Pretty soon he found one which would hold him, being a light man, but wasn't strong enough for an extra-sized angry bear. For a minute Hiram seemed safe, though far from happy. The bear was puzzled, but gave every indication of being willing to wait for Hiram as long as he found it convenient to stay at the end of that limb. "Just then a big wildcat, evidently HAVING AN ARGUMENT WITH HIRAM. a female, came loping along. Mrs. Bear slid down from the tree, waddled over to the wildeat, and a man didn't need to be an expert in wild animal nature to see that an impromptu mothers' congress was in session. Mrs. Bear evidently explained to Mrs. Wildcat the manner in which Hiram was trying to play on their affections. Then the old bear planted herself at the foot of the tree and waited developments, while the wildeat went up the tree with the evident intention of having an argument with Hiram. "And it was plain that Hiram was about to collide with the real thing. The branch he was on was plenty strong enough for the wildcat, and she wasn't wasting any time. Hiram waited until the wildcat was within a couple of feet of him. Then he let out a yell, slid off his branch and came crashing to the ground. For fear he might be lonely the wildcat came with him, leaping on his shoulders, and doing her best with her claws to keep him from getting blase. "Mrs. Bear was waiting for the couple, but, although I hadn't approved of Hiram's scheme, I didn't want him to furnish a meal for a justly enraged mother bear. So I fired my gun. I didn't hurt the bear, but she took alarm and shuffled off in a reluctant sort of way. The wildest gave Hiram a couple of parting digs, and ducked, too, leaving Hiram a saddened and battered man. But was he ashamed of his plan for betraying the affections of confiding bears and wildcats? Not a bit. "My plan was all right," he snarled between his groans, 'but who would have guessed I would run up against a Pike County Bear and Wildcat Protective association?"—N. Y. Sun. The Pigs of rence A man may like to speak of his first bullet, but the more of active service he has seen the less inclined he is to talk about his share in it. An officer who wore the Victoria Cross, and who had distinguished himself at the battle of the Alma, where he had two horses killed under him, was once entreated by Chaplain Hardy, of the British army, to tell something as to his feelings and experiences in an engagement. All the chaplain could get from him was: "A battle is a very disagreeable place to be in. Come, and I'll show you my pigs."-Youth's Companion.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND VIRGINIA IN CELL WITH BEES. The Reign of Lawlessness 11 Was a Cell They Didn't Build, But They Resented Intrusion Just the Same. The town of La Plata, Macon county, Mo., has been sued for $5,000 by John Bunch, a farmer living near that town, for personal injuries occasioned by a violent and continual attack of bumble bees while the plaintiff was an inmate of the town calaboose on the 23d of August. The fair was running at La Plata that week, and Mr. Bunch, who is a very old man, was locked up for some slight infraction of the rules. As soon as the door was fastened the A man is running away from a storm. He is wearing a coat and trousers. The wind is blowing his hair and clothes. He is running towards a building. ATTACKED ON EVERY SIDE. jailer went to the races and Mr. Bunch was left to himself; but he soon found there were other tenants in the cell besides himself, and his intrusion was sharply resented. The other "jailbirds" were a large and active colony of bumble bees. Bunch picked up a stick and fought them off the best he could, but they were in such great numbers that his efforts were unavailing. They stung him over the eyes and he was soon blinded from the swelling and could do nothing but strike at random. Some of the insects got in his mouth as he cried for help and stung him so badly he could hardly breathe. He was attacked on every exposed portion of the body, and many of his tormentors got down in his clothing and roamed about at their own sweet will. Bunch endured this torture for nine hours and had about lost consciousness when the jailler got back. It took the hardest sort of work by two physicians before Bunch could be brought around and the swelling counteracted. In his suit he charges that the town officials showed criminal carelessness in permitting the bees to build their nest in the cell and in not having one on hand to respond to his call when he was attacked. ACTOR LOSES CLOTHING Chicago Hotel Man Takes Thespian's Wearing Apparel for Unpaid Board Bill. Until Friday evening Hugo Jawin, an actor, walked the boards of a Chicago theater and undertook the role of a mighty gladiator of Roman times. He smiled and bowed frequently to the audience and to him the life of a Thespian was all roses. He had left a happy home in Cleveland to shine before the footlights, but now, says the Chicago Chronicle, his only audience is a bed and a chair at the La Pierre hotel, Washington boulevard and Halsted street. The actor gazed through the windows of his room on the top floor and yearned to wander out into the fresh air of the morning. But he could not. The door was not barricaded and there was no stalwart sentinel with fierce eyes and threatening sword to block his way. He was at liberty to A GLADIATOR IN TROUBLE go forth if he so desired, but modestly prevented it. He was in deep trouble. He had no clothing to wear and no kindly being came to offer him any. Every article the Thespian owned was in the possession of Proprietor Jett. All day the man of the stage strode up and down his room in scanty attire and wished himself back among the old folks once again. His manager, Fay Palmer, heard of the predicament and sought to rescue him, but Jett pointed to a bill for board saying that when it was settled he would restore the clothing. Palmer went to the Desplains street police station and appealed to Capt. Shippy, but that official refused to interfere. Rare Honor for a Soldier. A Parisian street is to be named after Maj.

Innocent Victims of the Literary Mania of the Hour. Everybody Nowadays Wishes to Shine in Print-Women Are as Industrious Scribblers as Their Men Friends. THE "literary" mania, now perhaps in its most acute stage, began with the "signed article." It is unfortunate that publishers of this country ever adopted that French custom. This invitation to vanity led troops of poor writers to invade the field heretofore occupied only by people who had something to say, and said it well and intelligently. Previous to this the writers who were THE GIRL WAR CORRESPONDENT prompted mainly by vanity were under the necessity of showing their screeds to their narrow circle of acquaintances. Now the signature saves them that trouble, and "fame" being thus easily acquired, others are thus tempted to try their "hand." Were it not for the signature the magazines would not require so many "readers," and the manifold troubles of the "Sunday" edition of the daily papers would be greatly lessened. While the great majority of articles submitted to magazines and newspapers is written with a desire to "shine in print," many of the amateur writers want money also. These amateurs have learned that professional writers are paid for their labor, and they think that they also should be paid for what they consider "good work." They are willing to take almost any price, and in this is shown the only good judgment displayed by them. However, it has the depressing effect of cheapening the literary market. But fame, or rather notoriety, is the main object of these amateurs; money is the secondary consideration, as most of them follow other vocations, such as typewriters, department clerks, lawyers and doctors with little practice, and others of that class who think they have something to say. In this large class is found the female contingent of scribblers, who, being supported by fathers or husbands, devote time which should be employed in household duties to "browsing" in the public libraries and appropriating the thoughts of others. There are some exceptions, but they are few, except in works of fiction. There woman is original, or can be, and does not require a "study" for a guide. These borrowers are, however, soon discovered, and their Miss are returned with astonishing rapidity. Several instances have frequently occurred in which these plagiarisms were printed, and the publishers were humiliated by an apology to their readers. These franks were cleverly perpetrated, being "adapted" LOOKING FOR AN "ORIGINAL" PLOT from foreign or out-of-print publications. So eager were these so-called authors to "make a name" that they have ruined their prospects, if indeed they had any. There are so many subjects of timely interest that there is no need of "borrowing," but, as stated, the female scribber is, as a rule, devoid of originality in the selection of a subject; hence she copies. Fiction is her province, and, knowing woman as she does, she would be successful if she wrote from nature, but, as a rule, her pictures of women are most unnatural. She either overdraws or undersketches. More often the woman is depicted as an angel, of which being she can have no knowledge, her ideas being drawn from pictures—the dreams of artists. Or, the woman may be a "Satan"—a character unknown to realism. Before the "signature" craze women confined their literary efforts almost entirely to poetry or fiction. pen name was used, and they seemed satisfied when their fame extended into the next county. But when the signature was adopted by some of the leading magazines and newspapers to give weight to articles written by persons with technical learning on spe- cial subjects, the pen name was discarded and every crossroads amateur "author" insisted upon his name appearing. It required no special training or scientific study, to "write up" a function at the "palatial" residence of Mrs. Kerjphones, and to give a harrowing description of the costumes of "among those present." But the "author" of "society's doings" insisted that her name should appear to give weight to the article. This stimulated others, and then the guttersnipe reporter who "wrote up" a brutal prize-flight thought his name should appear as an "expert authority." And so the signature craze spread, until now the Sunday papers, especially, are advertising mediums for commonplace writers. This has its bad effects, as stated, in crowding the field with incompetent writers, much to the annoyance of Sunday editors and "readers" for the magazines. Readers care little or nothing for names. They want ideas, and want them clearly presented. It is these that make a magazine and add to the worth of a newspaper. The standing of the magazine is a sufficient guarantee, and the reader does not question the authority or correctness of the article, because he knows the standing of the magazine better than he does that of the writer in nearly every instance. It is the same in reference to the newspapers. No signature can give weight to an article in a newspaper that has no standing or influence with its readers. When this craze for "big" names and little names shall have run its course the literary mania will somewhat subside, no doubt. The "big" name literary shop business has been overdone, much to the detriment of pure literature and good, plain newspaper writing. It does not follow that because a man becomes famous or a woman notorious that he or she can write a readable article. The contrary is almost invariably the case. A general may plan and fight a battle, but he could not describe it as well as the trained correspondent; yet it is thought in some literary circles that his name to such an article would add more weight than that of the man of letters. The prevalence of this idea is mainly responsible for the signature craze and THE EDITOR'S WORST TRIAL the increasing mania to write. In the hot baste for "reputation" little care or thought is given to subjects, and the public gets a very weak solution in the great majority of instances. Much has been said about "big names" having no influence in the acceptance of articles. This may be correct in some quarters where only pure literature is considered, but in the majority of instances it is the name that carries the article, as in others an article is carried by the illustrations. In the matter of "little names" the articles submitted are on a cheap basis, and that carries weight. This drugging of the literary market in the hot race for reputation has been instrumental in overcrowding the publisher's market with new publications. Some of these, however, do not pay anything for articles—and perhaps they are right, judging from their contents. But the name of the "author" appears, and that is considered by both parties as a fair compensation. Some of the concerns, which are scarcely honest publications, require a contributor to subscribe to the magazine as a "condition precedent" to submitting manuscripts. Yet this does not discourage amateurs—hundreds bite at this "policy" game. Some of these so-called magazines print alleged literary articles at a stipulated price per page—to be paid by the writer. And some of them claim to be deluged with manuscripts from aspiring authors. One instance is known in which a western magazine sells stock to writers in consideration of printing their articles—on the basis of $100 per page. And yet this does not seem in the least to discourage amateurs or abate the fever for writing. Of course, in these instances the writers are persons of means, and have the advantage of the poorer writers whose contributions are offered gratis—provided their names are attached. In countries where there is a press censorship the signature is perhaps necessary in order to fix the responsibility, but it would seem that this is not necessary in this country, as the proprietor of the publication is responsible for everything that appears in it, and the writers are responsible to him. Furthermore, he has a blue penil. As the writer is paid for his work, he should let the publisher have some credit; but it is the publisher's fault. He is pursuing the popularity of "big names," and he also catches many small ones. He is also responsible for the signature innovation and the overcrowding of the literary market, which has caused him a great deal of trouble and expense. It is within his power to curtail this mania, and no doubt the great reading public would be better satisfied, trusting to the taste and discrimination of the publisher for their mental food. As stated, the reader cares nothing for a name, big or little. He wants to be instructed and entertained. J. M. SCANLAND. Wings. Some houses have wings, but they don't fly.—Chicago Daily News. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA HELP OTHERS. It is a narrow and selfish spirit that never seeks to help others. Persons with such motives can never be happy. Happiness cannot exist in a heart where such feelings dominate. God has placed us in this world for things higher than the gratification of selfish aim and purposes. A selfish man must be mean. A man whose supreme ambition is his own aggrandizement, so he may rise, he cares not over how many prostrate forms, is a selfish man. Such men are of no good to God or man. They may arrogate to themselves honor and distinction, but right-thinking people look upon them with disgust. They are an offense in the eyes of those who are kind and generous. Nothing so elevates men as a disposition to extend the helping hand to others. The development of generous impulses is the greatest lever to spiritual elevation. The Christ spirit brings us into sympathy with every form of need. The barefooted child, when cold, is an object that excites our sympathy. Every form of wont, physical or moral, arouses our entire being. To no cry can we turn a deaf ear. It is not the amount of help we may render, but the motive that underlies the act. "Not grudgingly, but cheerfully" must be the spirit of our benefactions. Look about you for objects where you may dispense your charity. A pair of shoes may bring a man to church—and to God. Do not be so much concerned for fear you will be deceived that therefore you withhold altogether. All needy persons are not unworthy. There are many who will never cease to love you for your kindness. To have the kind feelings of others is no small matter. But above all these considerations are the words of Jesus: "Inasmuch as you have done it unto the least of these, ye have done it unto me."—Baltimore Methodist. OFTEN BETTER THAN ACTION Simple Patience Sometimes More Hes role Than Active and Aggressive Action. It is a common thought that a passive power or virtue is a lower quality than an active one. We sometimes think that a man can be passive under pressure or trial without showing the possession of so high a measure of manhood as in active and aggressive endeavor. But this is a mistake, and it evidences a wrong idea of manhood at its best, and of struggle and trial at their fullest. The surgeon who uses his knife on the quivering flesh of a wounded soldier on the battlefield, exercises his active virtues; but who will say that there is always a higher strain on the surgeon's manhood than on that of the soldier who, without any anesthetic, calmly submits his frame to that surgeon's knife without a quiver or a groan. In the supreme struggle of the Perfect Man, who showed the highest character for the hour—impulsive Peter, when with his tiny sword he struck off an ear of the high priest's servant, or Jesus, who might have had ten legions of angels for the asking, but who submitted quietly, without a blow or a word? "Take, brethren, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets, and "be ye also patient," be "imitators of them who through faith and patience inshest the promises." Bushnell, one of the later grand prophets, says, suggestively: "It is not necessary for all men to be great in action. The greatest and sublimest power is often simple patience." — S. S. Times. LIGHTS AND SHADOWS. Joys are our wings; sorrows are our spurs.—Jean Paul Richter. A vice is always more dangerous than a crime.—Ram's Horn. There are many people in the world who don't know what they really are till circumstances show them.—Jean Ingelow. To be ambitious of true honor, of the true glory and perfection of our natures, is the very principle and incentive of virtue.—Sir Philip Sidney. Train the understanding. Take care that the mind has a stout and straight scent. Let the flowers of wit and fancy to come of themselves.—Augustus Hare. Let us learn to regard our life here as the school time, the training ground, the awful yet delightful threshold for the eternal ages of the life with God.—Bishop Thorold. There would be far less controversy in the world than there is, if all would take Scripture for what it does mean, instead of for what some thinks it should mean—United Presbyterian. We should see not only the hand of God, but the hand of our Heavenly Father, full of mercy and loving kindness, in all that befalls us. We should believe it to be best for us because it is His will—George W. Bethune. The privilege of laboring is to me more and more precious. I would not choose the spot; I would not choose the circumstances. To be able to do something is a privilege of which I am altogether unworthy—Mary Lyon. The Essence of Goodness The Essence of Goodness. Go do your duty, giving to every task the sublimest motive which you know and which you can bring to bear upon it. get at the essence of goodness, which is not in its enthusiasm or delights, but in its heart of consecration. Sometimes the consecration may be all the more thorough and complete when the joy of consecration seems to be farthest away. And yet every consecration made in the darkness is reaching out toward the light, and in the end must come out into "the light, strong in the strength which it won in its life struggle in the dark."-Phillips Brooks. Danger Ahead. There is a danger in the present feverish desire to make a record. An Atchison woman reduced her grocery bill for herself and husband to $12 a month, and has started out to reduce it to $8 next month. The man's friends are growing as nervous as if he were with Lieut. Peary.—Atchison Globe. LITTLE MOTHERS IN ISRAEL IN THE CHICAGO GHETTO LIFE IN THE GHETTO LIFE IN THE GHETTO It Is Full of Animation, Bustle and Distinctive Color. What the United Hebrew Charities Are Doing Toward Improving the Condition of Jewish Children in Chicago. [Special Chicago Letter.] PON investigation nothing appears quite in accordance with pears quite in acceptance with one's preconceived idea, and it is probable that many people, if they should walk through the Chicago Ghetto, on a summer's day, wold find it less objectionable, in some respects, than they had anticipated. It depends much, of course, upon the frame of mind of the investigator. One should, under such circumstances, go prepared for the worst and hope for the best. If a police officer accompany the party, he will be found a valuable companion, as the information which he can furnish will save much walking around; and it is hardly to be conceived that people, not resident in the district, would care to make a prolonged stay. The sidewalks are very irregular and where to step next requires some careful consideration. The streets are an abomination. The wooden pavements are destroyed, and the mud indescribable, its component parts being of a widely varied character. Some of the houses are of wood and in every stage of dilapidation, while others are brick and present a comparatively decent exterior; but inside all are crowded to overflowing with families of Russian Jews, and the overflow finds its way into the streets and alleys. A majority of the men are peddlers and not likely to be in really destitute circumstances. The whole Ghetto is filled with little shops kept by these people, and a representative of another nationality could not obtain customers. Their great day is Friday, market day; their market being considered one LITTLE MOTHERS IN ISRAEL of the liveliest places in Illinois. Wagons are backed up to the sidewalk on Jefferson street for one or two blocks on either side of Maxwell, and here everything can be purchased, from a shoestring up, from Thursday afternoon until Friday afternoon, when the Sabbath begins. Shops are closed until Saturday at six p. m., when a lively scene may be witnessed. Everything is thrown open. The whole population is out in holiday attire. Soap and water have made large inroads on the grime collected during the week. Dresses are of the gayest colors. The streets literally swarm with children in brilliant apparel. The material is of the cheapest, but it shows up bewilderingly. Even the women's wigs seem to be red in a majority of cases. Their wearers chatter incessantly. Nowhere can a larger number of children be seen to a square yard of sidewalk, and nowhere do parents seem more devoted to their PLAYING CRAPS IN THE GHETTO. offspring. Baby buggies are numerous and are wheeled along regardless of the rights of anyone but the propeller. One must keep out of their way or be run down, and there is no malice in this. It is merely one of the characteristics of the inhabitants of this locality. Are they not the chosen people? It is not here that the authorities look for great criminals. The bad class seems to be of a cowardly nature and its members confine themselves to small thefts and the receiving of stolen goods. The district north of Twelfth street, where the Ghetto ends, is much worse. Many of the Russian Jews have fine, intelligent faces, but the majority indicates a very low order of human nature. They are said to eat more poultry and fish than any other people. The fish is, as a rule, kept alive in tanks and exposed for sale on the streets. Carp is a favorite variety. It has been said that these people could not live without Russian fleas, which will not go on a dog, but prefer to tenant the clothing of human beings. Doubtless much disease is communicated by them. The Ghettoites will not eat a chicken unless it is killed by some one especially authorized by the church. Religion, such as it is, seems to be controlling Home Made Bread, Cakes and Pies For Sale, Also Ascomodations For Excursionists and Visitors to the City. MR3 LAK ON 010 39e factor in the life seen on every hand. How little it has done spiritually, mentally and physically for its devotees, is sadly apparent. Probably none of the Hebrew faith are so abjectly superstitious as this class and none have less in common with the best and highest things of life. But at the outskirts of this district a great work is being carried on. On Morgan street, near Maxwell, is a dispensary supported by the United Hebrew Charities, where poverty, ignorance and illness may find relief. The building is an excellent one, erected along the most approved sanitary lines. The front is of pressed brick and contrasted with the neighboring houses presents a very attractive appearance. A door opens into a commodious T-shaped hall, where are seats which it would seem should accommodate all the patients which even this crowded locality could furnish; but most of those in waiting become impatient. They stand and walk around, hushing crying babies, conversing monotonously in any language most convenient, a motley dress, dressed in every conceivable fashion except what might be expected in a Christian land, in which, as such, they certainly are aliens. A small party recently visited the Ghetto for the purpose of witnessing the children's clinic of Dr. Rosa Engelmann. nearly the doctor of Dr. Rosa Engelmann. nearly the office during their stay (and 37 cases were treated) were Russian Jews. They followed each other in rapid succession, the time being limited and the applicants many. Since her connection with the institution, the doctor has treated about 118,500 cases and quickly recognizes ordinary ills caused by bad air, improper food and care. But there are numerous diseases requiring time and thorough examination. There were diphtheria and heart troubles, and some little patients were sent to other physicians in the building for surgical operations. Eczema, whooping cough, throat and intestinal diseases are common. The surprising thing IN THE CHICAGO GHETTO. about the babies was their comparative cleanliness. Not in a positive, but in a negative way. The best that could be said was that they were not very dirty. It seems that they are not allowed to enter the doctor's office except in a decent condition. If they are not properly prepared for treatment at home, they will be given a bath downstairs. "But," the doctor says, "the worst thing is the fleas." Most of the younger of the women had evidently rebelled against the custom which requires that they shave off their beautiful hair at the time of marriage and appeared without the hideous wigs with which the older ones were adorned. Although the day was warm few were without a woolen shawl around their shoulders and the children wore layers of heavy clothing. The doctor frequently said: "Have you not been here before? Have I not told you not to feed your babies at such short intervals?" They look bewildered and answer: "Yes, but what shall I do when he cries?" There seems no hope of teaching some of these women better methods. Traditions are handed down, from generation to generation, and they are not a people who take kindly to innovations of any kind. Few speak English well enough to carry on a conversation in that tongue, and the doctor was compelled to address them in German. Occasionally one needed an interpreter in that language. The faces of many of the little ones were very pitiful. Instead of being in nice cool beds, tenderly cared for, they were dressed in enough clothing for three babies and carried around in the arms of mothers without sufficient intelligence to know that a child, screaming with the pain of cholera infantum, is not best hushed by being tossed in every conceivable manner. Woman after woman was told to take her child to Jackson Park sanitarium, but it is doubtful if many of them get so far from Halsted street. A young and very beautiful Jewish nurse, to whom nothing could be more becoming than her Red Cross uniform, acted as conductress through the establishment. The dispensary is well supplied with everything needed. All who are able to do so pay ten cents for their medicines. The same fee is charged for surgical operations. Forty medical patients, besides those of Dr. Engelmann, were prescribed for in one afternoon, so the position of the chemist is no sinecure. There are separate rooms for the treatment of medical cases, dentistry, dermatology, gynecology, surgery, children's diseases, the eye and ear, nose and throat. In the basement are a diet kitchen and lavatories. EDWARD JULIAN. The Young and the Old. Chinese soldiers range from 16 to 60 years of age. W.

THE PLANET SATURDAY, NOV. 10, 1906 (CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE) "think?" and every one seemed to think that they were either sick or gloriously happy. The Forresters and their friends rooted long and loud and gave expression to odd sayings. The crowd was orderly and respectful. Some white men were happy over the result, but many looked gloomy, and some had a sickly smile. Some hoped against hope. Some thought there must be a mistake in the returns, but the old plan of holding back the truth melts away in the face of modern methods "Have you heard from Indiana?" was the question. The reply made the Bryan democrats sick. Then one enthusiastic brother re marked as he read the bulletin. "Dar now, Nebraska done gone Republican." The business men of Richmond, the bankers and brokers were happy and made no effort to conceal their feelings. Then came the crushing news from New York, announcing that McKinley had carried New York by 100,000 and the tide was still rising. Then came Iowa and Ohio, and West Virginia and Maryland and Delaware and New Jersey. It was at this point that the Bryan Democrats commenced to move from one bulletin board to the other for more cheering news. It seemed cruel for Democratic journals to give out so much crushing truth, but they did it, easing the misery only by returns from Ettricks and Manchester, and Hanover and other points in Virginia which had given Democratic majorities. It seemed to be a source of relief that even Texas had remained in line and that Alabama came to Mr Bryan and that Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina had given the usual Democratic majorities. Some body was claiming Kentucky for McKinley and the stream of Democrats started afresh, some for home and the others for another bulletin board. Then the Times announced "What do you think?" This was worse than cruel, for it put on the board the fact that McKinley was re-elected. This carried with it the information that the House of Representatives was overwhelmingly r.publican. Visions of contests were before every Democratic candidate for congress who had been counted in, only about three hours before. SECOND DISTRICT.

Six precincts out of eleven give Bryan 1,800; McKinley, 261; Maynard, 1,836; Wise.

There was present with him on the rostrum, the vice-president, brother W. G. Carter of the Second Baptist Churah 8. S. and Rev. W. T.

Henderson of the Union University. The president in a brief response, highly commended Moore St. Sunday School, with its able superintendent for their very great interest in the Union and the cause of Missions as evidenced by the prompt throwing open their doors, and the preparation of such an excellent programme for the occasion.

H. TRUSSTON, Pres. E. A. WASHINGTON, Cor. See. SCOTT HARRIS' NEW BARBER SHOP. [Everett, Wash., News, Oct. 20, 1900.] Scott Harris, who since his return from the South has been running a barber shop on the water front, has leased the old stand in the basement of the Wisconsin block and had it fitted out in elegant style. The mirror, chairs cases and other fixtures are the very latest and the best on the market. Two pore lait bath tubs and two large bath rooms make it a thoroughly up-to-date shop, and with Professor Harris wield the razor it will lull you to sleep to get shaved. He opened up for business this forenoon. The dancing school which was to have been given by Wm. B. Smith, at Price's Hall on Friday night, Nov. 2, was postponed on account of the death of Mr A. D. Price's child, until Friday night, Nov. 16 h 1900. DELIBERATE MUSDER NORFOLK VA., November 6th.—Because he cursed Max Cohen, a Poramouth merchant, George Spence (colored) was shot by Cohen (white) and will probably die. After the alteration the colored man, seeing Cohen reaching for his pistol, sought refuge underneath a counter, Cohen, it is alleged, pursued the colored man. Reaching under the counter after the man, Cohen fired, the bullet striking Spence in the hip, ranging upward, and making a probable fatal wound. Cohen then escaped. FOOT BALL. V. N. and C. I. of Petersburg vs. Richmond Athletic Club, Friday, Nov. 16th, 1900, at Broad St. Park. Admission, 25cts. Game called at 3:30 o'clock. IN OUR ISLAND DOMAIN Nearly 67,000 householders in Cuba have registered their intention to remain subjects of Spain. There are still about $500,000 worth of unredeemed Porto Rican money in circulation in the island. A naval officer who has spent much time in Manila says that the women, and even young girls, seem to grow old and faded from day to day from the effects of the climate. A curious cave has been discovered two miles from Hilo, Hawaii. The cave runs toward the mountain in the form of a tunnel. Down the middle of the cave is a ditch that looks like the bed of an ancient stream. This channel is about three feet deep and four feet wide, with evenly worn sides, forming two benches. On one of these benches was found the skeleton of a woman, in sitting posture. Among the perquisites which have fallen to Gov. Allen, of Porto Rico, besides the palace of Ponce, is the magnificent private yacht Mayflower, owned by the government. It was built by Watson on the Glyde for the late Ogden Goelet and cost $800,000. It is 321 feet over all and 275 on the water line. The beam is 35 feet 6 inches and the hold 30 feet deep. The government paid $500,000 for it. It was assigned to Sampson's squadron in the war of 1898, and did considerable work. CHILDREN'S CUTE SAYINGS. Teacher—"Spell 'wrong.' Johnny." Johnny—"R-o-n-g." Teacher—"You know that isn't right." Johnny—"Course it ain't. You told me to spell wrong." When three-year-old Bessie saw some negroes and mulattoes the first time she gravely remarked on her return home: "I saw some black people to-day, and some that were just turning black." The teacher of the juvenile class held up a triangle made of wood and asked what it was. "I know," said a bright little fellow, who had spent the summer on a farm; "it's the frame of a chicken coop." One evening when the mosquitoes were very troublesome small Bobby cried out: "Oh, dear; if the mosquitoes don't stop biting me there will be nothing left of me!" "Yes, there will," rejoined his little sister, "the bites will swell up and make you bigger than ever." One Monday morning little three-year-old Edith volunteered to superintend the family washing. When Janes put the clothes on to boll the small overseer gave one look of openeyed astonishment, then ran to her mother and excitedly exclaimed: "Oh, mammal! Jane's cooking the clothes for dinner!" ATCHISON GLOBE SIGHTS It is a bad sign when a man's favorite perfume is cardaman seed. When two women get to quarrelling it is sure to spread to their husbands. Little girls and boys don't know what trouble is. Why, you can pull their teeth with a thread! There are some women whose sole claim to gentle breeding is that they have been made very sick by discovering a fly in their coffee. So prevalent is indigestion that instead of preparing a feast for a guest, a hostess is more apt to strike it if she serves health foods and hot water. North Atchison women are pointing with pride to a man who recalled when he reached his office, that he forgot to kiss the baby good-by, and who walked back tea blocks to do it. An Atchison man whipped his wife recently, and, instead of getting mad about it, she recalled with gratitude how many unmarried women there are in the world who have no husbands to whip them. If a woman has every instinct of old-fashioned hospitality, she should be kept out of the demoralizing influences of society. Her generously good dinners will change to big parties, with the refreshments bought downtown. Society acts on hospitality like the hot wheats act on Kansas corn. SHIVERY WEATHER IS COMING.

A NEW BARBER SHOP. The barber shop of Scott C. Harris, completed and opened to-day in the basement below the postoffice, is a model of cosmopolitan perfection. Being in the basement, as many of the torsional parlorors of the larger cities are, one being once in it could well imagine himself in a Fifth avenue or State street shop, so thoroughly handsome and up-to-date is its every fitting. Mr. Harris says there will be a full crew down to the rootblack in attendance upon the custom at all hours of the day. The place is fitted with porcelain bath tubs, the very latest pedestal chairs, and is roomy and lighted with electric lights throughout. Mr Harris is the pioneer Bayside barber of the city and as he is here with a fine place and to stay he is assured of a good trade. To California.
