The Doubtful States All Republican—Democrats Down-cast. Rejoicing in President Roosevelt's Camp. The Republicans have swept the country and the Democrats are experiencing one of the worst landslides since the foundation of the government. The Republicans have carried all the doubtful states by such positive majorities that they may virtually be classed at Republican hereafter, if election returns are to be regarded. The Congress is overwhelmingly Republican and Col. Campbell Slep, the brill ant Republican congressman in the Ninth District has been re-elected. The election passed of quietly in Richmond and among the business white men, there seemed to be a feeling that they wanted Mr. Roosevelt elected anyway. But there were others. Many people believed that Mr. Parker would carry New York and accordingly the country and they clung to that hope to the last. There was some betting at odds in favor of Mr. Roosevelt. The TIMES-DISPATCH had employed Iardella's Band to discourse lively airs and to celebrate the Democratic victory. Moving pictures were also displayed on the canvas during the intervals. This proved to be a wise forethought for the Democrats who were present as these were about the only consoling features of the evening. Then came the returns from New York, stating that the city of New York showed a plurality of 40,000 for Parker. Some of the crowd understood this to mean New York state and loud a hurrah followed. Then came the news from New Jersey, Indiana, Connecticut and another report from New York, stating that the state had gone for Roosevelt, but that the Democratic candidate for Governor, Herrick was elected. Then came another report that paralized the Democratic crowd. It was that West Virginia, the home of the Democratic Vice Presidential candidate had gone for Roosevelt by 23,000 plurality. GOOD SHOWING FROM THE NINTH. This was enough. One white person yelled, "O. Mamma" and then was displayed on the canvass the head of the Democratic Jack', with tears dripping from its eyes, and under it the words, "Great Scott!" The reports from the RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SAT RDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1904. Ninth Virginia District showed that Col. Campbell Slep, the Republican candidate was elected by two majority and then by 16. The later returns show a majority for him of 4,000. This was the district in which vigorous attempts were made to arouse the race isomerically less moulded on account of the Booker T. Washington lunch at the White House. REPUBLICAN GAINS EVERYWHERE. The latest returns show that President Roosevelt will have 343 electoral votes and Judge Parker only 133. The fact is that the Democrats have met the worst defeat the party has experienced in fifty years. Not only is it a solid North but a broken South, for Missouri has gone Republican by about 15,000 plurality and although the Democrats of Maryland had gerrymandered the state and disfranchised the colored people by the adoption of a new election law, the state has gone Republican. MISSOURI'S GREAT CHANGE. The legislature of Missouri will also be Republican and Senator Cockrell will Photo by C. M. Bell Photographer Co. Washington be succeeded by a Republican. The Republicans elected eight Congressmen from this rock-ribbed Democratic state. Delaware is Republican both on the gubernatorial question and the legislative one. President Roosevelt won easily in that state. SOME OF THE ELECTION SURPRISES. In West Virginia, the Republicans elected the Governor and all five of the Congressmen. The legislature will be Republican by 45 on joint ballot. In California, the Republicans elected all of the congressmen. New Jersey gives Roosevelt 70,000 plurality. New York gave Roosevelt a plurality over Parker of 15,000. The Republicans carried the The Solid South Broken. Maryland President Roosevelt Congratulated. the Ninth Virginia District. CRUEL ENG borough of Brooklyn, Colorado went Republican and Nevada, which had been conceded to the Democrats went Republican by 2,000 plurality. PLENTY VOTES IN CONGRESS. The next Congress will have a Republican majority of 100. Congressman Cowherd, Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Committee, who is from Missouri was defeated in his own district. The Republicans will have a majority of 26 in the United States Senate. NEAR TWO-MILLION MARK. [Washington, D. C. Post, Nov 10, 1904.] At 2 o'clock this morning official returns from a few States and unofficial returns and estimates from the others gave President Roosevelt a plurality of the popular vote of 1,854,571, a plurality more than twice as great as any other candidate for the Presidency ever received. The official returns, in nearly every instance, have given Roosevelt a larger plurality than was estimated. If the increase keeps up, he may have 2,000,000 more votes than Farker. The latest pluralities by States are as follows: FOR ROCSEVELT.

The following lines written by a well known colored man of this city were suggested by a midnight duel fought by two white men over a colored woman in Dupwildie County last October. The elder man, a widow about 65 years of age who had followed the woman from Brunswick County was killed outright while the younger man who seems to have employed the woman was desperately wounded. The lines are supposed to portray the sentiments of the elder man. How dear to my heart was that young colored woman Who cooked for me when I was wid- owed and lone, Her presence did cheer me when lonely and drooping, I held her as dear as if she were my own. I looked on her form when I came home to dinner. For she was most comely tho' dusky withal, About her was something which charm- A. B. I could not resist it whatever might fall.

With saot gun he hied to the ancient Dinwildie. The Department announces with a feeling of deep remorse, the death of Past Supreme Chancellor and Ex-Brigadier General James C. Ross, who departed this life October 15th 1904 at his late home in Detroit, Michigan. Nature preludes to us in all its phases that death is the sequence of life. The opening buds of spring, the full fruition of summer, we know are to be followed by the falling leaves of autumn. It is natural to find the decaying tree falling before the storm, rather than the young and sturdy growth. It seems consistent with the laws of Providence, that those who have seen twenty-five and thirty years of service in a fraternal organization should be called to their final account, but that Georgia as well as the Supreme Lodge and the Military Department of the order should have taken from us one who just began the enjoyment yes, the climax of a life work and whose Pythian career promised great usefulness to the order universal, as did Sir General James C. Ross, is unnatural. It only remains to us to bow in humble submission to the will of our precious Master and to say that the ways of Providence are inscrutable. "Horror's voice cannot provoke the silent dust," Nor flattery soothe the dull cold ear of death." As a mark of respect to the memory of Sir James C. Ross, all Company Armories, Brigade, Regimental and Batallion Headquarters will be draped in mourning and all officers will wear the usual badge of mourning, a piece of crepe tied to the hit of the sword for a period of sixty days from the date of this order.

ROOSTER ROOSTER ROOSTER ROOSTER too cold." Although Fraulein never referred to it again, the little love story she had related to me so feelingly remained in my mind. I never again made light of her ideals. But an end came to our pleasant chats over the teacups; for, to Americans on the continent, all roads lead to Rome—in the spring. With the first suggestive deepening of the blue in the Munich skies I bade Fraulein adieu and departed for the Eternal city. In the Pension Rosada in Rome I met a medley of nationalities—Swedes, Norwegians, Germans—but only one American. She—Miss Newell—was a dark, energetic woman in the thirties. There was something in her brisk way of doing things that made me speculate about her. I could plainly see that she was taking a holiday, and in a thoroughly business manner getting the full worth of it. Miss Newell suffered from an asthmatic cough. One evening, hearing her coughing in her room, I went in, and, when the paroxysm was over, suggested to her an old-time remedy. "Of course—the very thing!" she exclaimed, quickly. "To think that I had never even thought of that!" she went on, laughing as at a huge joke. "And that you should have to tell me what to do for myself." with another burst of merriment. I began to grow red, thinking I had suggested something very silly. "You foolish child," said Miss Newell, restraining her mirth when she noticed my embarrassment "You think I am laughing at you. I am laughing at myself. I never think what to do for myself when I am sick. And yet I have to prescribe for so many other people! Now I shall have to tell you what I had not intended to tell anyone this summer. I am head nurse in one of the largest hospitals in New York. This is my one vacation for years, and as I am not well, I wanted to get away from the old routine for A mother and her child in bed. awhile—to forget myself. But see how impossible that is. You forgive me for laughing, don't you?" I had one time cherished dreams of becoming a trained nurse myself, hence Miss Newell, after her avowal, assumed a new interest for me. With youthful indiscretion I proceeded to do just what she had been avoiding—to lead her mind back to her work. She, filled with the love of her calling, easily fell into my snare. Quite unconscious of her late resolutions, she was soon pouring forth many of her experiences into my willing ears. After awhile, as memories began to throng, she paused for several moments, and her face saddened. "My dear child," she finally continued, "if you should ever become a nurse, it is the soul suffering you will be confronted with that will remain with you longest. After a time one grows somewhat deadened to physical sufferings; and then there is always something one can do in such cases. "I recall now one of the saddest scenes I witnessed during the Spanish war. I had charge of the nurses on the first hospital ship that was sent out to Cuba. You remember how, at that time, it was a fad of the society girls to go out as nurses to the soldier boys. On our ship we had a wealthy young lady, Miss C—— of New York, acting as nurse. She was a gloriously beautiful woman with a queenly way of doing things even if it were but dropping the medicine. "You read, of course, about the great number of poor fellows brought aboard our ships the day of the battle of San Juan. Ah! but we were busy that day. Late in the afternoon a young soldier was brought to the ship with a bullet through his left side. He was a great big, handsome fellow with silky blond hair and delicate features. I saw at once that he had no chance. We dressed his wound and made him as comfortable as possible, but he sank into a coma, from which he never aroused. "The beautiful New York girl I told you of was sent to me for some instructions. When she came in where I was standing by the cot of the dying man, she suddenly grew deathly white, reeled and fell on her knees beside him with a pitiful cry. She kissed his hands, calling out: 'Harold, Harold!' She seemed crazed; and while she was agonizing over him he died." Miss Newell closed her story abruptly, with a sad little drop in her voice at the last words, and neither of us broke the silence for a space. She was back amidst the scene of her busy life, and I was meditating on the strange coincidence by which I had heard the sequel to Fraulen's story of a cold-hearted American. Dr. Arthur R. Reynolds, commissioner of health in Chicago, in a paper read in St. Louis says that milk more than 12 hours old is dangerous to the young. On the other hand, Prof. Elie Metchnikoff, of the Pasteur institute of London, declares that sour milk is the nearest approach to the elixir of life, and says that it contains a bacillus which preys on dangerous microbes.

N. CREWDSON (Copyright, 1904, by Daily Story Pub, Co.) A H, YOU Americans! You cold-hearted Americans! You are so ideal, so indifferent! You concede nothing to sentiment," exclaimed Frau-lein, throwing up her hands in mock depair. Fraulein and I were taking our tea in her little parlor in Munich. Her spirited outburst followed some cynical remarks of mine. Just for the sake of arousing her sequence, I had fallen into the bad habit of making light of love and marriage. I exalted the life of a bachelor girl and put the pursuit of art above all domestic happiness. But Fraulein adored love and lovers. Though her brown hair was beginning to show a grayish tinge, her heart was full of youth's romantic exuberance. She was a creature of emotion. She did not waste her affections because she poured them forth from a heart as inexhaustible as the willing pitcher of the fable. She loved the whole world, the sunshine and "Burni," her maltese cat, with equal extravagance. The expression of views so repugnant to Fraulein's nature as these of mine always brought down her condemnation me; but to-day she did not show her usual impatient ardor. After her first protest she looked for a moment in her cup as if seeing visions in theamber depths of her tea. Then she roseimpulsively and brought from a tablethe photograph of a beautiful girl. "This is an American girl," she said,from New York. She is wealthy and beautiful and gifted; but she also,like the rest of you American girls, has no sentiment—I might also say no heart. She is cold, cold, cold! You know shemust have been beautiful since Lenbach,whom money cannot tempt to make aportrait of a subject he doesn't care for,painted her. This is a photograph of hisportrait of her." I looked at the card she thrust into my hand. I did not wonder that Lenbach had immortalized this malden. She was of the dark, regal type of beauty that he painted best. "I met Miss C—— in Berlin," continued Fraulein, as I looked up from the photograph. "When she afterwards came to Munich with her mother, she came to see me. I saw her often that winter and we became friends. She was, with all her American aloofness, so tactful and charming that one could not but admire her intensely. "One day when she came to see me, she brought a young American with her. He was the sunniest, merriest, happiest boy I ever knew. For he was not much more than a boy, while she—as she told me later—was five years older than he. He was handsome and athletic, and fair as she was dark. And he was frank and winning—a man who seemed made to be happy. "I saw how it was from the first; he was very much in love with her. He soon worshiped her. But she—she was cold. The more the poor boy wore his very soul on his sleeve for her, the more she retreated within herself. He had been so light-hearted when I first met him; but he changed when he fell in love with an icicle. "He used to come to see me alone sometimes, just to talk about her. She had refused him—given him no hope. He begged me to talk to her, the foolish boy! He couldn't believe that she did not love him. I did talk to her. She called him a boy and his worship of her a boy's love. She said that she was too old for him; that he would get over it. Ach!" said Fraulein, shrugging her shoulders, "she was cold, cold, cold, or she must have returned such love as his." "But Fraulein," I asked, more touched than I liked to admit, "how did it end? Did she ever relent, or did he get over it?" "They both went back to America that spring" replied Fraulein. "I heard from Miss C——only once after her departure. It was just at the time that your war with Spain came on. She wrote that Harold had gone as a soldier to Cuba. She said nothing more about him. But I knew why he had gone. A German girl would not have driven a man to such straits as that. You American girls do not know how to love; you are SHE SEEMED CRAZED HE RICHMOND PLAN Fun for All Fun Lovers.

More mention of the word gipsy presents this picture, and when we read, as lately we did, that a band of these more or less undesirable visitors had been deported from our country, sent back post-haste from Ellis Island, we set to musing on the existence, the persistence, in the strenuous twentieth century of the Romany. The recent deposition from our shores of the gipsies brings up a somewhat similar happening that occurred in 1880 when a company of gipsies started from Corfu for New York. The band come together from various parts of Greece and Turkey, succeeded in getting only as far as Liverpool, for no steamship company would take the gipsies aboard, the United States being closed to pauper immigrants. It was for fear the Bohemian gipsie, the ones just deported, would eventually become public charges that caused the United States officials to refuse them admission. The unlucky band of 1886, held at Liverpool, camped there a long while, but, year after year falling to obtain passage, in time it was scattered. An authority of gipsy lore declares that there probably is not to-day a circus or theater in the United States 10 book and it is suggestion by the gipsy, and it is estimated that there are now in that country thousands of these people. To quote again from the authority cited: "The Romany is still the life of the entire vagabond population of the roads in England, it being almost impossible to find a tinker or petty hawker that is not part gipsy. There are but a few hundred full-blooded tent-gipsy persons in England, but of hailrengoes, or house-dwellers, who keep their gipsy blood a secret, and of half-breeds (churedi or posh an posh), of those affiliated by blood—all of whom possess the great secret of the Romany language to a greater or less degree—there are perhaps 20,000." An astounding number, it seems to us, and yet when one learns how they once overrun the country, it becomes very reasonable that at least that many now remain. Four hundred years ago they entered Britain, slipping in slyly and in 50 years increased so largely, their depredations were so bold and burdensome, that acts for their suppression were demanded. At one assize 13 poor Romanians were executed simply on the accusation of belonging to the outlandish gipsy race. The outrages committed by the gipsies at this time were incredible, their presence in the country a most evil infliction—hence the summary punishment. In divers ways England checked the growth of her gipsy population. During the American revolution she forced this portion of her "human material" into the fleets and armies sent to fight the Yankees, but many of the unwilling soldiers deserted on reaching land, and sought a home on our soil. Railway extension also interfered with the gipsy in England, and the inclosure act, which took away from him the open stretches whereon he had been wont to pitch his changing camp. Doubtless the English gipsy can say feelingly that things are not what they once were. To-day the gipsy in England is an industrious person, and lives on the fat of the last; not on refuse, the traditional food of the gipsy wanderer. Both men and women work, the latter the better wage-earner of the two; palmistry with the women is no lost art, neither is horse-trading with the men; and they have control of the trade of mending chairs of split ratan, they buy and sell baskets, brooms, clothes-lines, etc.; they make meat-skewers and clothes-pegs, and they provide music and necromancy at the falra. Really the modern gipsy makes a very good living in England. In the United States the gipsies are not so well known as in the compact isle; there are not so many, and as What He Learned. A fellow one went to a night school To learn how to read in the dark. But he got stuck on his teacher And that he learned was to spark. -Chicago Chronicle.

We are more or less acquainted with the be-shawled, bare-headed fortune-teller, that goes from house to house, and with the gipsy musician; many of the door-to-door peddiers we recognize as of gipsy blood, also the keepers of small tin, crockery and basket stores, and the infrequent litterant tinkers and cutlery men. It is said that gipsies established two villages in this country, one in New England, the other in Pennsylvania, and that in these villages Romany is still spoken, though secretly. To controversy this idea, some hold it probable that there has never been a band of genuine gipsies in America; but the Gipsy Lore Journal makes the statement that in 1715 nine border gipsies, by names Faa, Stirling, Yorstoun, Flinneck, Lindsey, Ross and Robertson were transported by Glasgow magistrates to Virginia plantations. Mention has been made of the gipsies sent over during our revolutionary war, and there is record of the presence of gipsies in New York a half century ago. Among gipsy names in America we find those of the good old families, that is, good old gipsy families: Lee, Lovell, Cooper, Stanley, Bosvills, etc. The gipsies take intense pride in "family," in spite of their supposed democracy.

As early as the eleventh century they lived as serfs or nomads in the Greek-speaking countries of southeast Europe. The Spanish gipsy is known to us through song and story, but travelers aver he of the present is dirtier and more greedy than picturesque. In Scotland the gipsy flourished earlier and greatly, there intermarrying with the native and not looked down upon. To-day in Scotland quite a number of gipsies are filling posts of honor in the medical and legal professions. The gipsy calls himself a Romany, never a gipsy. The origin of the word is in dispute, some holding that A BELL OF THE CAMP. it was obrowed by the gliesis of Europe from the province called, in Wallachian, Romanie; some argue that it is a corruption of the Hindu "Dom," the name given to one of the wandering people of India, known from ancient times. The jealously guarded Romany language is supposed to be a Hindu dialect derived from the Sanskrit, but very greatly corrupted by admixture with the many languages of the many lands visited by the nomads. The name gipsy is a corruption of the word Egyptian, is used in several languages (Spanish, Turkish, Albanian, Hungarian), and accounts for the belief that the wanderers originally hailed from Egypt. The French call them Bohemians, the Italians, and also the Spanish, allude to them as Zingaro. It is said the Romany dialikes to have one word of his vocabulary learned by an outsider, a stranger, and if a word is stolen he at once drops it himself and adopts a new one in its place, borrowed from a country foreign to the intruder. Be this true or not, the Romany is still a secret language. KATHERINE POPE. At Close Range. Phyllis—So you and Fred quarreled, did you?

CHAPTER I—Story opens in Richmond, where day's Port Sumter surrendered. Dr. Francis Broinner makes remarkable request of his friend, Dick Somers, to which Somers finally agrees. He is to marry, blindfolded, a woman whose name he is not to know, ask no questions, and finally, when she is out of the power of certain enemies, is to grant her an honorable divorce. CHAPTER II-According to the agreement, Somers is mysteriously married to a young woman, who is called Frances, with each her, they tell in love with each other, and his insistence he lights a match in the dark. They may see each other. A pistol shot rings out. Somers falls with a scalp just as Brodran comes to take away him. He is conveyed to the doctor's office. CHAPTER III-Somers, on his recovery, receives telegram to report to woe office immediately. He learns Frances is well, and asks the doctor to tell her Richard Somers passes out of her life and demands that she duty done, please God, and she needs to will follow her to the end of the earth." CHAPTER IV-Woman named Louise is visited by Raymond Holbin, the father of her child, who has not kept his mother to marry her, and who bears a striking resemblance to a cock. Somera she tells of having, in her sleep, shot a man who she thought was her. CHAPTER V–Frances’ father, John Brookin, makes his will bequeathing her certain property upon condition that she marry Holbin, his stepson. Just before that she the disillusions his mind of notion that he will be loyal to him, and tells him a friend to say to him: “Ask Raymond Holbin what he has done with Louise (the dry man’s niece); for he is the man who her by her, by a mock marriage, and seek her the CHAPTER VI–Holbin’s absence from the Brookin funeral is noticeable; he is busy in the deserted residence of the ceased unravelling the mystery of the connection between the shooting, told him by Louise, and the implied charge against him made by Frances. He finds evidences in Frances’ room, and his evil mind fills with suspicion of the pure girl. CHAPTER VII–Holbin decides to ask Dr. Brednar if he knows the man who was shot in Frances’ room. The doctor asserts he had been shot there, and that suspected Mrs. Brookin (Holbin’s mother of being the woman who fired the shot, which, he declares, missed its mark. CHAPTER VIII—Baffled in attempt to learn anything from Dr. Brodhan, Hollis turns to France, but is again unhappy. He has a skillful move, the man has made a most worthwhile impression upon the woman he hopes to marry. CHAPTER IX—Hollis having exhausted all his resources for information concerning the victim of the shooting, but again turns to Frances 'old mammy, but again fails. CHAPTER X—Upon this he goes to his mother's room and makes a clean breast of the facts. She summons Dr. Brodna, and demands to know the information he possesses who then denounces her liberties and demands to know concealment in the room and attacks her with a knife. The doctor escapes, sees Frances long enough to tell has what he knows about Somers' assailant, and drives away. Misconstructing his meaning,inking Louise had been jealous on account of her affair, she visits Louise full of sympathy for latter's troubles, but nothing comes up to throw the distrust out of her mind. CHAPTER XI—Frances becomes a nurse for the wounded soldiers brought to Richmond. A wounded federal came under her care. He has been with Capt. Brookin since time been desperately wounded. Frances trust for Somers returns upon this news of him. CHAPTER XII—Louise has an interview with Holbin, and later with his mother, she has come into possession of evidence proving a common-law marriage. Mrs. Brookin sees necessity of getting married, and then goes away, but temporarily yields to all demands, and agrees upon full repatriation. CHAPTER XII- Holbin wins the gratitude of Frances by offering to export her wounded federal (now well on the road to recovery) across the lines. He has reason of Frances interest in the soldier's soldiering and the soldier's soldier is found dead, shot in the back. CHAPTER XIV- From the murdered federal's pockets Holbin had taken certain letters and the former's pass allowing him to cross the lines. From the letters he learns of Frances' marriage, that Somers had been the victim of Louise's pistol, and that Dr. Brodnar had been, at least, attempting to thwart his pursuit. CHAPTER XV- Somers (now a colonel) commands a regiment in vicinity of Richmond. Louise, disgusted in a soldier's uniform, is brought wounded to him. For the sake of his old love for her he secures permission to enter Richmond in a confederate uniform. In the city he meets a soldier who he meets in France's home and the conversation that occurs is overheard by Brooklin's scheming widow. CHAPTER XVL The woman who leaned from the upper window of the wing of the Brookin residence that June night in 1862 was the ever-cautious mother scanning the outward route chosen for her son, who at that moment was in his room concluding his arrangements for a perilous enterprise. The time had arrived when Raymond Holbin was to ask his future upon one bold stroke. If he failed, he was no worse off than at the moment, unless, indeed, he should be captured. With the Brookin fortune dissipated by war, Richmond presented but few attractions for him. If he succeeded in all that his busy mind had planned, life held for him Frances, revenge and wealth. The cause for hesitancy lay in the possibility of detention and discovery; for although the papers which he so highly valued were, as he supposed, unintelligible to any mind other than his own, he was a confederate officer, and desertion meant death. He had secured three weeks' leave to go south upon urgent business, but this did not alter his liability. What passed through the mind of this man as he sat in his room that night may be imagined. It may be assumed that he thought of Louise, who with bogus dispatches in her saddle pockets and falsely informed had gone to her death upon that distant road. Holbin had actually ridden nearly to the point with her; had ridden until warned. He had waited when she left him until the fatal volley was fired, and then, terrified, fled home and took refuge in his BLIND, ALMOST, WITH RAGE, SOM- ERS RUSHED UPON HIS ENEMY. BLIND, ALMOST, WITH RAGE, SOM- ERS RUSHED UPON HIS ENEMY. room. His mother, cool and unflinching, had sought him there, a mute question upon her pale face, and he had roughly, fiercely ordered her away. For, let justice be done him, he had this time in his weakness executed the dictates of a stronger will than his own. He had not intended to be fair with Louise; he had intended to desert her again, and leave her to find her way out of Richmond as best she might, and he did not then intend to return; but the murder was not a part of his plan. He was unnerved and unfit for the enterprise which now meant so much for him. Arrayed in the worn uniform of a federal prisoner, his papers and pass safe within his beast-pocket, his horse concealed in the garden, Raymond had been on the point of venturing forth when a sergeant reached the house with an official communication requiring an answer. The soldier stood at the front door, and with prompt decision the woman who left the rear window hurried to that point. "Quikli!" she said; "run around to the side gate and come to the wingroom. A Yankee spy is there. Kill him if he attempts to escape. A thousand dollars if you kill or capture him." The soldier ran, cocking his gun as he entered the side gate. The mother went at once to her son's room. She met William, who was bringing an answer to the soldier's letter. The light in her son's room shone through the transom. There was no time to explain to Raymond. Knowing his violent and excitable nature, and remembering his disguise, which he might forget if there was an alarm below, she noiselessly turned the key in his door and glided on to her room. But Raymond had left his room immediately after handing William the note, and was already approaching Frances' room below. As he passed the hall entrance, the door leading from the apartment into the garden opened and husband and wife entered. With a cry of amazement he rushed into the room, drawing his sword as he entered. "Who are you, sir?—why are you in this room?" he asked, angrily. Somers drew his sword instantly and confronted him. Holbin had paused and was staring wildly. "Richard Somers!" "Yes!" Somers gently put aside the slender form which instantly interposed between him and the man he had sought. His eyes scanned the familiar uniform of his old enemy in doubt. "Speak out, sir!" "Spare your voice. Raymond Holbin. I came with a message for you. Louise is dying in my camp; I was unable to resist her prayer. She implores you to go to her to right her wrongs, for her child's sake. Go, if you are a man, and can; let this marriage take place; do something for the miserable woman whom you have so deceived." "She was not killed, then!" "She is dying!" said Somers, shocked and sickened at the matter-of-fact question. "Did you suppose that she was dead?" "Yes. She insisted upon trying to run the gantlet." A light dawned upon Somers. A cry of horror escaped him, and all the old enmity for the man came rushing over him again. "You encouraged her! You knew she was going to her death! You sent her under a false promise—her statement! Frances, Frances, out of this room! God has sent me to avenge Louise. Madman, murderer, we settle many debts to-day." Blind, almost, with his rage, Somers rushed upon his enemy. Their swords clashed as, facing each other, the two men circled about the room. Then Holbin's sword went down. With incredible quickness he avoided the thrust which was almost a part of the disarming blow, rushed to the easement window, leaped into it, and burst open the blinds. His hand thrust in his bosom quickly reached backward; a pistol flashed. At this instant the sergeant rushed into the room, saw the blue uniform escaping through the window, and the extended pistol. He leveled his gun and fired. The man in the window reeled back and plunged headlong into the room. "It couldn't be helped, captain," said the soldier, lowering his weapon. "Once outside he would have given us a long chase. Did he hit you?" Well might he ask the question. Capt. Somers was deathly pale as he looked upon the body of his foe. "No," he said, utterly at a loss to understand the situation. Frances, in the moment of the tragedy, reeled against the wall, sick and faint, but the instinct of a woman whose loved one is in danger instantly rallied her to her senses. She was the first to realize the full significance of the soldier's action. "You have saved our lives," she said, weakly; "any reward you may claim is yours. The man was evidently a spy." Her hospital experience and familiarity with tragedies had served her well. But the strain was fearful, and she covered her eyes again. Brief as was the respite for Somers, it was sufficient. Passing his arm around her, he urged her out of the room. "Three minutes — keep everybody out for three minutes, and I am safe," he whispered. White as a ghost, but brave, she took her stand at the foot of the stair and waited. by the child d woman timbered in the standing the bur morning mured To the years c Somers returned and bent above the figure of his enemy, his mind at work. The reference by Louise to the dispatches, the blue uniform, the horse tied in the yard, the hour, and the character of the man aroused a multitude of suspicions. From the pocket he drew a sealed packet and a folded paper, the latter a pass through the lines. There was no time for an examination of the package; the soldier, leaning upon his gun, was waiting. Promotion for Somers was in sight; but he had entered the room with an avowal that he could not disregard. "Sergeant," he said, "take this to the war department; it will bring you promotion. I think. The honor is yours." "But, captain, it was you who really did the work. Were you after him?" "Yes," said Somers, slowly, "I was looking for the man and had reason to suppose that he was on these premises. I came in to find him. He evidently entered this room in—desperation! Go at once, sergeant, and send an ambulance. What family lives here?" He asked the question in support of his character as a stranger. "Capt. Holbin's, sir! He is upstairs." Full of the importance of his secret, the soldier hurried away. Somers passed through the hall and out through the other door into the garden, lifting his hand towards Frances. Stepa were approaching the stairway; she passed quickly to the outside and found him waiting. "They will find him in the uniform of his country's enemy," he said, "and the papers from his pockets will prove him a spy. I am unknown. The soldier will say that a confederate officer pursued the guilty man until he took refuge here, and disappeared." The girl stood mute and silent before him. "Farewell, Frances," he said. "Farewell, sir." He looked at her moment in doubt, and in silence left her. When he glanced back over his shoulder he saw her white form still motionless under the tree. A horse near him whickened inquiringly; he untied him and rode out. As he approached the gate a shriek reached him from the wing-room, and turning he spurred back again. Frances was re-entering the room. "Wait!" he cried in agony—"Wait!" He threw himself from his horse and was instantly at her side. "Frances, Frances, is it thus we part? Think what it means! Will you not give me one word?" She turned slowly and wearily upon the step. "There is nothing to say but 'farewell.' If I were a mother, and my son came to me as an enemy of Virginia, I should say the same to him." "You do not love me, then," he said, bitterly; "now forgets, forgives everything!" She lifted her face, white with an unspeakable suffering. "Father in Heaven, Thou knowest my heart! Thou knowest how I have atoned to my own people for him; how for him I have ministered to my enemies—Thou knowest, Thou knowest! And now," she said, sobbingly, "my heart breaks—I am weak! Will you not go? A mother is in this room with her dead!" "To-morrow begins a bloody struggle; and I would wish to carry with me into eternity, if I perish, one kiss from the woman I love—my wifel Will you refuse me that?" She covered her face with her hands; then suddenly she shew her arms about him, her lips to his. He held her a moment, white and silent. Pushing him from her, she turned to enter the house, but sank upon her knees, leaning her head against the door. Bending over, he laid his lips in one long kiss upon her curls, and in silence left her. CHAPTER XVII. Richard Somers did not need his pass that morning, nor have to explain why he, if a paroled prisoner, was wearing the uniform of a confederate officer. That uniform was his salvation in his wild ride upon the crowded road, for aides and courriers were rushing to and fro and no one questioned him. Day was breaking as he neared the front, and the tumult of a great battle surrounded him. He passed cavalry, moving infantry and artillery, and was soon swallowed up in the confusion. He had no knowledge of the topography of the country; there was no chance to use a pass in that mass of confused men—he could only move forward with the host. An officer, reining up violently by his side, gave him an order to carry to a struggling line that, half enveloped in its own smoke, reeled back in front of a wooded slope on when some guns were being handled desperately, and on that slight eminence as he approached in a mad gallop he saw at intervals the familiar stars and stripes. He passed the considerable line, at that moment badly broken, its officers riding as madly as he up and down it in an endeavor to rally it, and seeing here his only chance of escape, took it. Burying his heels in the flanks of the terrified animal he bestrode, he headed straight for the battery. He swung back in the saddle as though endeavoring to stop a runaway horse. A little thicket screened him for one instant, and emerging beyond that, he lifted his handkerchief in the air, waved it and with the speed of the wind swept on into the lines of blue. Strong hands seized the bridle; and then a cheer went up from the battery. Col. Somers was with his own again. Somewhere in the records of the government is told how one battery, the focus of artillery and infantry, held back for hours the tide of battle that day; somewhere are preserved the names of those who fell, and of the few who, at last, with despairing strength dragged back the guns that had not been dismounted, and saved them from capture; but no official record preserves the picture of a wrecked and half demolished cottage by the new child dead woman ush timbers.

She lifted her blue-gray eyes and rested them upon the manly face of her companion; a tender light was gleaming in their milky depths. "And I am glad, my husbai id, that her brief life was blessed etn for a little while with the worship of a brave gentleman's heart." He drew her towards him, and her face grew radiant against his breast. "God bless them both, mother and child!" he said, gently; "and God bless you, Frances, my wife!"

An old lawyer here tells of two amusing things which he alleges, occurred in Kentucky many years ago, says the Louisville Times. He on occasion a wealthy man died, leaving a fortune, and the heirs became so disatisfied with his will that they went to court to break it. One witness was called who furnished fun for the crowd. In giving his testimony he stated that the deceased did not wish to make a will because of a dream he had had. He was intensely superstitious, and this vision rather dampens his enthusiasm with regard to making a will. "And pray," asked one of the lawyers, "what was this able dream what was his name? "I can barely dream your friend had?" "Well, sir," replied a witness, "he dreamed that he had a friend and just as he signed it he was fine. Sooming in the room with a big bag to take all his money away." At another important trial which kept things lively a witness was a vain, concealed woman, who fancied she should teach the lawyer a thing or two. While one of them was cross-examining her she became very saucy, grinned at her husband, who sat in sight, and remarked tartly: "Mr. Blank, you needn't worry me with them questions; you just can't cotch me." "Madam," said the lawyer, "Heaven knows I don't want to catch you, and your husband looks like he was sorry he ever did." She was swept up and carefully removed from the stand.

It Not Only Gave Him Back Health and Untroubled Sleep, But Also Centered Upon Him the Love of a Wise Maid. Many a man has won a bride because of his money. Many a husband has his wife because he made clear to her in advance that life with him would be one long gastronomic feast, spread and maintained regardless of expense. But Lewis Yost, Jr., is an exception. He won his bride because he knew how to live on 15 cents a day. She was Miss Mary Lallie of St. Louis. Yost lives there, too, and is a world's fair contractor. Life would have looked bright to Yost but for the Nemesis of indigestion. Everywhere it pursued him. To counteract its dread ravages Yost began the study of diet. Starting merely as a medical precaution, he became an enthusiast over the new style of eating, and discovered that not only had it cured his indigestion, but that he had found a means of so reducing his table expenses that they nearly ceased to be an item in his bills. He went to board at the home of Miss Laille. She was attracted to the young man, but marveled at his habits of life. "Why, he doesn't eat anything," she confided to one of her friends. Her own preference in the eating line ran to the solids—meats, vegetables, etc. It puzzled her to figure out how this sturdy young man could keep his vitality on a diet that seemed insufficient to support life for a child. One day after they became well acquainted she questioned him, and even suggested that he might be wiser to conform more closely to the generally accepted menu. "Why, my dear young woman," said Mr. Yost, "I can live on 15 cents a day, derive more benefit, and enjoy better health than you on your hearty course dinners." Miss Lallie laughed. "In that case." A FIFTEEN-CENT DIET WINS. she said, jokingly, "you would make an inexpensive husband." The incident did not end here. Inspired by his zeal to prove the wisdom of his regimen, and perhaps spurred on by some tenderer motive, Mr. Yost stuck to his wheat and nuts and waxed fat and healthy. His indigestion was long since a thing of the past, and he slept perfectly. Miss Lallie looked on amused at first, but gradually gaining in conviction. She kept for a time to her regular food, but eventually found that her health was not nearly so good as that of Yost. Several months passed. Yost continued to live on his 15 cents a day and gave such convincing proof of his system that she finally capitulated. Then an agreement was reached that if one could live on 15 cents a day, there was no reason why two couldn't survive and be happy on 30 cents. So they married. His 15 cent regimen won her, and she is glad it did, because not only are they healthy and happy, but the greatest part of their income is left for the purchase of other things than food. Mr. Yost has this to say for the system by which he won his bride: "Our breakfast consists of coarse ground wheat, served with cream, dates, raisins, apples, fresh fruit in season, and entire wheat bread. For lunch we have the whole wheat, bread, apples, dates, blanched almonds, and other nuts. Apple sauce, wheat muffins and wheat food figure in our supper. We never grown tired of this diet, for it is healthful and satisfying. "If folks could only be sensible, thousands of dollars that are used in torturing the stomach could be put to better use. Variety is the spice of life in food. If people would use the whole wheat bread, nothing would be lost in vitality, and they would not need meat. "This diet, together with carefully distilled water, costs but 15 cents a day, yet in health giving properties it is worth a hundred times that amount." Music Reduces Hemorrhage A surgeon in the British army noticed that when a wounded soldier was taken to within an easy hearing distance of music, hemorrhage was greatly reduced or stopped. It is believed that the vibration of the air produced by the music causes the patient to become faint, in which case the action of the heart is so considerably lessened that the overflow of blood is reduced.

WISE OLD SHEPHERD DOG Saved Her Own Life When Her Master Said He Was Going to Dispose of Her. May was a full-blooded shepherd dog and unusually intelligent. The following true incident indicates that she possessed the faculty of reasoning: She lay in the kitchen one day with her two pups, where her master and an- Other man were engaged in conversation. Finally the man expressed a desire to buy one of the pups, but the owner answered that he was intending to keep one of them and kill May, as she was getting old; as he had not decided which pup to keep, he did not want to dispose of either just then. At this news, May looked her master in the face a moment, then rose and calling her pups, left the house. That was the last seen of the pups for several weeks. Their mother was watched and followed in the endeavor to find out where she had hidden them, but without success. Finally the married daughter of the family came home, and being informed of the state of affairs, said to May: "Won't you show me your pups, May?" Without more ado May led the way to a deserted woodchuck's hole, and there were the pups, fat and sleek. They were carried to the house, but were not allowed to remain, for again May took them away to what she believed to be safer quarters, and no one found them again until they were well grown. It is interesting to know that May's efforts were rewarded by her life being spared until she died, at last, of old age—Orange Judd Farmer. TRUE AMERICAN SPIRIT. Keeping Right On, In Spite of Difficulties, Is One of Its Most Noble Characteristics. "And what are you going to do now?" asked a friend of a man whose store had just been consumed by fire, and only a part of its contents saved. They were looking at the smoldering ruins when the question was asked. "Oh, I've rented some rooms up the street, and my goods, what are left of them, are being moved in now. I'm going to amble up there, and keep right on until I am able to rebuild." It was the same reply, brave and undismayed, that whole cities have given when swept by sudden loss and disaster, but the city could give it only as the stricken individuals gave it one by one. It is the American answer, prompt and courageous, to difficulty and misfortune, and we all are proud of it. But do our young people understand that the qualities which make it possible must be acquired early? The spirit of "keeping right on" in the face of obstacles and discouragement is not one that springs into being suddenly; it is born of long struggle and endeavor, of the persistent habit of meeting difficulties and conquering them instead of being overcome by them. No one who begins life by insisting upon easy places, shirking all hardships, and abandoning the chosen way as soon as it grows hard is building up that kind of an American.—Wellspring. AMUSING TRICK WITH EGG. An Easy and Instructive Experiment in Astronomy at the Breakfast Table. Here is a trick which will surprise the whole family. The next time you eat a boiled egg moisten the rim—not merely the edge, but all the raised part—of your plate and place the empty shell on the wet surface. The shell should be broken off even- ```markdown ``` ly all around, so as to form a little cup. Now, if you hold the plate up and tip it slightly, the egg will not merely slide, but spin, along the rim, and by continuously altering the inclination angle of the plate you can make the shell spin all the way around it. I do not mean that it will spin rapidly, like a top, but that as it goes around the plate it also revolves, slowly, about its own axis in the same direction. Now, this, you know, is just what the earth does in traveling around the sun, so here you have an easy and pretty lesson in astronomy at the breakfast table.-Detroit Free Press. Page from a Boy's Diary De Wolf Hopper says that his small nephew was given a diary, and one of his first entries was "got up at seven." He showed it to his mother, and she corrected his sentence. "Got up!" she exclaimed in horror: "does the sun get up? It rises!" The youngster carefully erased the offending words, and wrote: "Rose at seven." And on retiring for the night he carefully inscribed in his diary: "Set at eight." CLEVER NEW ENGLAND DOG This is the life story of a remarkable dog, clever and lovable, owned by Town Clerk Madsen, of South Hadley Falls, Mass., as told by the Boston Globe. Trixie was born February 21, 1900, both his father and mother being full-blooded water spaniels. He is a great favorite with all, or a large number of dogs of the town, although not caring much for their company. He will invariably sit up and beg at the table or wherever any interesting are in sight. If he is not noticed he will speak. He is frequently seen sitting up on the sidewalk before children who have candy. He came naturally by the trick fetch and carry. His mania for trolley rides was only developed this summer. Now, whenever he sees a car stopped he will look wistfully at the motorman and if the motorman gives him the least encouragement he will jump aboard. If an invitation is forthcoming, sometimes he will sneak on and stow himself away under a seat. He is frequently seen miles away, waiting for a chance to board an electric for home, and the car men say he never makes a mistake in the car. He has been to church and Sunday school, but in spite of such good su TRIXIE, THE TROLLEY DOG roundings he has developed a habit of taking home all sorts of articles. There are no less than half a hundred stones in his yard that he secured down street. He does not confine himself to stones. He ran home one day with a bag of marbles, a small boy in close pursuit and at various times has acquired a Rugby ball, a catcher's glove and a baseball; again he appeared with an egg in his mouth. He takes naturally to water, yet he has a horror of being washed and if he hears the word "bath" or hears the tub being filled he will run and hide. He had an encounter with a hen with chickens which he has never forgotten and now he gives poultry a wide berth. It was amusing to him recently on his way home, make a detour into a vacant lot because he met a large rooster standing on the sidewalk, but he cutely pretended that he went out of his way to investigate something. He was the central figure in an exciting and thrilling scene in the spring of 1902, during the freshet when the Connecticut river was overflowing its banks and was full of floating ice. He had been amusing himself and a large crowd by swimming after sticks thrown in the river and had gotten on to a large cake of ice and was gradually drifting out into the swift current. Men and boys with poles and sticks tried to reach him, and others whistled and called and over possible way attempted to encourage him to plunge in and swim for shore. Then a window was hurriedly thrown open in a building which reached over the water. A man climbed through and hanging on to the sill, tried to reach him with a pole, but in vain. At last the owner of the dog was hurriedly sent for, but it is doubtful if Trixie heard Mr. Madsen's voice in the roar of the dam and the crash of ice against the buildings. But the dog after awhile plunged into the water and swam toward another large cake of ice. After several failures he succeeded in boarding it and then he made several successful jumps from one cake to another. Finally he was saved. A great cheer went up from the spectators as he gained shore and made a bee-line for home. He seemed so excited by fear that he did not notice anyone, not even his master. His greatest sport is to fetch a stone, if he can find anybody to throw it for him, and he very rarely falls to find the identical stone. When the boys lose a baseball they call "here. Trix, find the ball" and he generally gets it. Boy Got Even with Druggist It was a Camden (N. J.) druggist who was routed out of bed when the night bell rang furiously. The wrothy dispenser came down and opened the store door. "I want a bottle of ginger ale, please," requested the complacent individual who stood without. For a moment the druggist was inclined to be personal, but then he reflected that since he had come down he might as well do business. "Twenty cents, please," he said. "Five cents will be allowed on the bottle when returned." Two hours later he was awakened by another ring. Again he descended, to find the same complacent customer at the door.

SATURDAY...NOVEMBER 12, 1904 We said that there was no color-line business and now it seems that the country has voted that there shall be no color-line in politics. Colored folks should continue to accumulate money and buy property. We have been our own worst enemies. We can now be our own best friends. Your Republican platform pledges the Republican Party to the reduction of the vote in the electoral college of all states that have disfranchised its citizens save for crime. THOSE Democratic journals which were advocating the repeal of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States seem to now maintain an undignified silence since the election. COLORED men should not be unduly boasting or offensive as the result of this election. It should not be forgotten that thousands of business white men in the South are wearing a satisfied smile after examining the returns. Of course the Negro-haters are miserable and many of them have not recovered from Tuesday night's spree. PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT has received an endorsation at the hands of the people of this country, the hike of which has no parallel in the history of the nation. It is a tribute to sterling integrity and an endorsation of merit. The people believe that he means well and the mistakes, if there be any made by him, are "the errors of the head and not of the heart," The result of the election is especially significant to the colored people, indicating a return to the "great principles which SUMMER preached and PHILLIPS advocated President ROOSEVELT had been severely criticized for his express determination to regard his oath of office, observe great principles rather than tolerate petty prejudices. His renomination of Hon. W. D. Cramer as Collector of the Port at Charleston, South Carolina, the observance of social amenities as was exemplified in the case of Prof. Booker T. WASHINGTON, the great educator, at the White House and his telling remarks to the demands of the Negro habitats of the South-land which took the automatic form of all men up, rather than some men down have made him the central figure before the American public in the advocacy of these great principles. Couple this with the fact that he will receive the largest electoral vote of any candidate, who has ever entered the contest for the Presidency and it is evident that the heart of this great nation is all right and the thinking, conservative white people, both North, South, East and West are tired of this race prejudice in all of its annoying exhibitions. Even as conservative and as justice-loving Democrat as Hon. GROVER CLEVELAND has always been, he was induced to frame a denial of the alleged social courtesies accorded colored men at the White House during his administration. Taken all in all, the result of this election is a "God-send" to the colored man and a blessing to the country. Senator B. R. TILLMAN, Gov. JAMES K. VARDAMAN and others of like opinions will now be permitted to speak from the rear seats. They have had their day If we shall be able to hold in check our own intemperate speakers and convince them that this victory for Republicanism can be used greatly to our advantage by well matured, conservative action, we shall gain materially by this election and hold the respect and esteem of those white men, who have voted such a positive endorsation of President Roosevelt's action on the race question. MR. BRYAN VINDICATED. BARKING Hon. THEODORE ROOSEVELT of New York, we do not believe that there is a more self-satisfied gentleman in the United States than may be found in the person of Hon. WILLIAM JENNINGS Bryan of Nebraska. His friends have repeated by asso to that he made the best run possible, under the circumstances, at the time he was the Democratic nominee for the presidency. The result of last Tuesday's election has more than justified this conclusion. Even in Judge ALTON B. PARKER's own state of New York, Mr. Bryan made just as good, if not better, run than the present defeated Democratic nominee. As a result, the leader of the free silver forces is in a position to again secure control of the Democratic Party machinery and thereby to inuage another fight within the party itself, which may make possible his renomination for the third time as the Democratic candidate for the chief office in this nation. Judge PARKER handicapped himself seriously, when he sent that telegram to Mr. BRYAN, thanking him for his services, thereby admitting that the support given was not half hearted, but that the Nebraskan had earnestly supported the man nominated against his protest and better judgment. ROOSEVELT FAIRBANKS Chosen By the People to Conduct Affairs of State. A REPUBLICAN LANDSLIDE Carried All Doubtful States In the Country. EMPIRE STATE IN THE LEAD New York Gives a Plurality of 135,000 For Roosevelt and Fairbanks—Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey, Indiana and West Virginia Also Endorse the President's Administration, Parker Ran Behind Bryan's Vote of Four Years Ago. New York, Nov. 9.—If Maryland has gone Republican, as unofficial returns indicate, the Republican vote in the electoral college will be the unprecedented one of 325 for Roosevelt and Fairbanks, to 151 for Parker and Davis. Not only is this far in excess of Mr. McKinley's votes, 292 in 1900, but Judge Parker's vote is four less than that given Mr. Bryan four years ago, it is practically certain that the Republican national ticket has carried every state in the Union outside of the so-called solid south. It may take the official count to decide Maryland. The Republican majority in the next house of representatives will be not less than 50. While complete returns are lacking, it seems probable that the Democrats also have elected governors of Nebraska and possibly in West Virginia. In the latter state the vote is very close, but the indications are that Cornwell, the Democratic candidate, has outrun the national ticket and will pull through. Montana also reverses her electoral vote on state issues, and elects a Democratic governor. Democratic successes are confined to the south solid, in which Kentucky is included, and Mr. Parker has not carried a single state which did not give its vote to Mr. Bryan four years ago. Unofficial returns indicate that he has lost some of those which the Nebraska candidate held for his party. Official figures from some of the northwestern states may slightly change the totals, but based on the returns available, the electoral vote stands as follows: For Roosevelt. Colorado ..... 5 New Jersey ..... 12 California ..... 10 New York ..... 39 Connecticut ..... 7 New Hampshire 4 Delaware ..... 3 North Dakota 4 Idaho ..... 3 Ohio ..... 23 Illinois ..... 27 Oregon ..... 4 Indiana ..... 15 Pennsylvania ..... 34 Iowa ..... 13 Rhode Island ..... 4 Kansas ..... 10 South Dakota ..... 4 Maine ..... 6 Utah ..... 3 Maryland ..... 4 Vermont ..... 4 THE RICHMOND PL Beginning with the state of New York, which gives a Republican plurality of approximately 185,000, the tale runs practically throughout the country, Kentucky alone showing Democratic gains. Indiana is credited with at least 40,000 Republican plurality, Iowa 125,000, and Pennsylvania heads the list as the banner Republican state, with the magnificent plurality of 383,195. Even in the southern states the vote has been light, Georgia's Democratic majority being only between 30,000 and 40,000. Texas will probably not exceed 100,000. Nevada, which was carried by Mr. Bryan four years ago, is Republican by 40,000, the indications are that Montana, Idaho and Colorado, also Democrat in 1900, have gone back into the Republican column. Delaware is estimated at about 5000 Republican; Massachusetts about 90,000, and Connecticut, in which the more sanguine of the Democratic leaders claimed to have had hopes, is about 25,000 for Roosevelt. Theodore Roosevelt's plurality in this, his native state, is second only to McKinley's in 1896. It exceeds McKinley's in 1900 by about 41,500. The returns show that there were cast for him in New York state about 185,000 votes more than for Parker. Not only was his vote heavy in the country districts, where the Republican strongholds are, but in Greater New York, traditionally Democratic, he ran much closer to Judge Parker than had been expected, even by his own campaign managers. It had been estimated that he would come down to the Bronx with better than 140,000 plurality, but the figures showed that this forecast would be exceeded by approximately 85,000. In the city, Parker's supporters had expressed hopes that their candidate would have from 140,000 to 150,000 more than Roosevelt, but in this they were disappointed by more than 100,000 votes. So overwhelming was the Republican vote that the result was known positively early in the evening. The earliest counties to report made it clear that the Parker vote everywhere fell below Bryan's in practically all the up-state districts. In Greater New York Parker's plurality was from 12,000 to 14,000 larger than Bryan's, but in the state, according to the late returns, his total vote fell 16,000 short of Bryan's. The small plurality for Parker in New York city caused great astonishment, the lowest preliminary antelection estimates having figured that he would go to the Bronx with 100,000 or more. When the reports came in showing that he would lead Roosevelt by only 40,000 they were received with amazement. The Parker plurality in the city was 35,000 less than was given Herrick (Dem.) for governor. In Brooklyn the Republican managers thought Parker might lead Roosevelt, but reports from all but 37 districts give Roosevelt 424 plurality. His total vote fell 16,000 short of Bryan's. There was a great surprise in the proportions of the vote for Higgins (Rep.) for governor, he running far ahead of the Odell vote in the counties and winning by about 85,000. His plurality above the Bronx was probably 160,000, while Herrick's in Greater New York aggregated about 75,000. Herrick did not carry Albany, his home county, nor did Parker carry Ulster, in which he lives. Baltimore Sun Concedes the State to Roosevelt by 100. Baltimore, Nov. 9.—The Sun, which supported the Democratic presidential nominees, concedes that Roosevelt carried the state by about 1000. In Baltimore city, with one precinct missing, Parker has 474 plurality. In the six congressional districts of the state three Republicans and two Democrats have been elected, with the remaining district in doubt. This district is now represented by W. H. 16 West Virginia. .. 7 17 Washington ... 5 11 Wisconsin ..... 13 13 Wyoming ..... 3 3 Massachusetts . . . 1 Michigan . . . 1 Minnesota . . . 1 Montana . . . 1 Nevada . . . 1 Nebraska . . . 1 For Alabama . . . 1 Arkansas . . . 1 Florida . . . 1 Georgia . . . 1 Kentucky . . . 1 Louisiana . . . 1 Mississippi . . . 1 Missouri . . . 1 Necessary to election, 259. As a dramatic climax to the sensational majorities given him, came President Roosevelt's formal anonly exciting aspect to an election night otherwise so one-sided that it was impossible for even the victors to nouncement that he would not be a candidate for re-election, lending the attain that degree of enthusiasm that usually marks the occasion. Late in the night came an announcement from Melvin G. Pallister, manager of the campaign for Thomas E. Watson, the candidate of the People's Party, that as a result of the overwhelming Democratic defeat steps would be taken to form a new party. To this end, according to the announcement given out, Mr. Bryan, Mr. Watson and William Randolph Hearst would hold a conference in New York in about a week's time. So convincing was the story of the bulletins that at 7:30 August Belmont at Democratic headquarters conceded Roosevelt's election by an overwhelming majority, and half an hour later the Democratic managers who had managed the campaign freely admitted that the Republicans had carried every doubtful state. There was no disposition to hope against hope. As state after state sent in its Republican majority and the wires told the tale of the ballots, bringing even from those commonwealth's upon which they had based their figures of Democratic success, reports of unprecedented Republican majorities, they frankly conceded their defeat and offered no explanation. Soon after Mr. Belmont's admission Judge Parker acknowledged the situation by telegraphing President Roosevelt his congratulations. It is not only a year of phenomenal votes, but of phenomenal majorities as well. MARYLAND REPUBLICAN LOST.

Should Kline be defeated and Schneebel elected, the congressional delegation will be solidly Republican. John P.

J., Nov. 9.—The result in New Jersey has been a veritable landslide and President Roosevelt's plurality will reach 60,000, compared with the plurality obtained by McKinley four years ago, when the state was carried by the Republicans by 56-89. Edward S. Stokes, the Republican candidate for governor, against whom a vigorous campaign was made by Charles C. Black, the Democratic candidate, on an equal taxation platform, runs behind Roosevelt, but will have a plurality of 40,000. The Republicans have succeeded in defeating William Hughes, the Democratic congressman from the Sixth district, and also claim to have defeated Congressman Allen Denny, who was a candidate for re-election in the Ninth district. Mr. Hughes' successful opponent was Henry C. Allen. The Republican candidate in the Ninth district was Marshall Van Winkle. With the defeat of Hughes and Denny the Democrats will have won one congressman from New Jersey, Allan McDermott, of the Tenth district. The state legislature will show increased Republican membership, and will be overwhelmingly Republican on joint ballot. This assures the re-election of John Kean to the United States senate. Of the seven candidates for state senate, the Democrats elected one in Hudson county, and the senate will stand as last year, 14 Democrats and seven Democrats. The Republicans have gained assemblymen in Salem, Somerset and Union counties, and possibly in Monmouth county. With the Republicans elected from Monmouth county the assembly will stand 47 Republicans to 15 Democrats. Last year there were 37 Republicans and 25 Democrats. In Ocean county, where there was a bitter Republican factional fight, Senator Shinn was re-elected by 500 plurality. In Camden Charles H. Ellis, Republican, defeated Joseph E. Nowrey, Democrat, the present incumbent, for mayor by about 1000 plurality. New Jersey State Senators. The senators elected were: Atlantic county — Edward S. Lee, Rep., re-elected. Bergen—Edmund W.

W'drick, Dem. Congratulated Roosevelt and Took His Defeat Philosophically. Derect Philosophically. Esopus, N. I., Nov. 9.—Judge Parker conceded the election of President Roosevelt at 8.30 last evening, when he received a bulletin that the Democratic national headquarters had already admitted that every doubtful state had been carried by the Republican national ticket. He appeared to be not at all cast down by the result, although it is known that he greatly deplored his overwhelming defeat in his own state. He received the discouraging news in his study, where he had been smoking with two of his neighbors. The bulletin from Democratic headquarters concerning Judge Parker's defeat was given to the judge by the Associated Press representative. When asked if he had any statement to make, he pulled a telegraph blank toward him and wrote hastily for a moment. Then he said: "I am going to send this telegram to President Roosevelt." The message was dispatched at once. It was as follows: "The President, Washington, D. C.—The people by their votes have emphatically approved your administration, and I congratulate you." The demeanor of Judge Parker he heard the bulletins read was of cheerful resignation. He wore the air of who could say if he would: "I will die game," and die game he did. He discussed the returns with his friends and compared the figures with former years. It might have been some other man's defeat for all the concern he seemed to feel. At 10 o'clock Judge Parker received a telegram from President Roosevelt, as follows: "I thank you for your congratulations." Judge Parker retired at 11.40 o'clock last night, declining to make any statement beyond that indicated by his telegram to President Roosevelt. ROOSEVELT'S STATEMENT Will Not Accept Another Nomination Under Any Circumstances Under Any Circumstances. Washington, Nov. 9. — President Roosevelt, after the election returns clearly indicated the result, issued the following statement: "I am deeply sensible of the honor done me by the American people in thus expressing their confidence in what I have done and have tried to do. I appreciate to the full the solemn responsibility this confidence imposes upon me, and I shall do all that in my power lies not to forfeit it. On the 4th of March next I shall have served three and one-half years, and this three and one-half years constitutes my first term. The wise custom which limits the president to two terms regards the substance and not the form, under no circumstances will I be a candidate or accept another nomination." Connecticut Republican New Haven, Conn., Nov. 9.—President Roosevelt and the entire Republican ticket carried the state by an overwhelming plurality, which was even larger than the most sanguine of the party predicted. President Roosevelt's plurality is 33,000, which is several thousand ahead of McKinley's figures in 1900. The state ticket was not far behind, and from Henry Roberts, the candidate for governor, down, there was a clean sweep. Congressmen in each of the four districts and the congressman-at-large were all re-elected, and the legislature will remain Republican by a ratio estimated at about $2\frac{1}{2}$ to 1, which is a slight gain over the ratio of two years ago. Roosevelt Sweeps Illinois. Chicago, Nov. 9.—According to the returns Illinois will give to President Roosevelt the largest plurality ever given to any presidential candidate. He has by the unofficial returns carried Chicago by 97,000, and the county of Cook outside of the city will give him about 9000 additional, making his plurality in the state 200,000. The Republican state ticket has been overwhelmingly elected. Deneen for governor running about 15,000 behind the national ticket in Cook county. Virginia For Parker Richmond, Va., Nov. 9.—The election in Virginia was absolutely without disturbance so far as has been heard. The Democratic majority on the presidential ticket will be about 25,000. Nine Democratic congressmen out of a total of 10 have been chosen. Slemp, the Republican incumbent in the Ninth district, apparently is re-elected by a majority of about 1200. CONGRESSMEN CHOSEN Republicans Retain Control of the National House. MAJORITY MAY BE DOUBLED Dominant Party Will Have Majority of at Least Fifty, But Claim More When All the Reserve of the Election Are It. Washington, Nov. 9. — President Roosevelt is assured of the cooperation of a Republican congress. The present Republican majority in that body is 34, and there need be no surprise if this figure is almost doubled, and it is reasonably certain to reach a majority of at least 50. In practically all districts the Republicans have held their own, while in some significant instances the Democrats have lost. Probably the most marked of these cases are the fourth and fifth districts of California (San Francisco), now represented by Representatives Livernash and Winn, Democrats, which reports indicate have been gained by the Republicans. In the 12th Ohio district, Taylor, Rep, is reported to have defeated Badger, the sitting Democratic member, who was a candidate for re-election. The most surprising of all the representatives, however, comes from the fifth and 15th Missouri districts, with strongly THE RICHMOND PLANE Democratic, and the former represented by Mr. Cowherd, chairman of the Democratic congressional campaign committee. The Republicans claim to have carried both districts. In the light of these reports, a Republican majority of 50 in the house is considered a conservative estimate. Returns from the southern states show that they have returned the usual Democratic majorities on congressmen as no other candidates. The states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas, all send solid Democratic delegations, while those from Kentucky and Virginia probably each will send only one Republican representative, making no change from the present complexion. Tennessee will continue to send two Republican congressmen. There are several solid Republican delegations already reported from northern states, including Iowa (with one possible exception), Kansas, Minnesota, New Hampshire and the two Dakotas. To these must be added the delegations from Maine, Oregon and Vermont, in which states elections were held prior to today. Other states, such as Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and even Indiana and New Jersey, from which the Democrats hoped for much in the way of gains, again send to congress delegations which are preponderatingly Republican. In New York the Republicans will suffer no loss and will gain several congressmen, and they will make a gain of at least two in New Jersey, and other gains are reported from Maryland and West Virginia. Among the early dispatches was one indicating the certain return of Speaker Cannon. The latest returns show congressmen have been elected in the different states as follows: Alabama, Dem., 9; Arkansas, Dem. 7; California, Rep., 1; Connecticut, Rep., 5; Florida, Dem., 3; Georgia, Dem., 11; Illinois, Rep., 20, Dem., 3; Indiana, Rep., 9, Dem., 2; Iowa, Rep. 11; Kansas, Rep., 8; Kentucky, Rep., 1 1; Louisiana, Dem., 7; Maine, Rep., 4; Maryland, Rep., 3, Dem. 2; Massachusetts, Rep., 11, Dem. 3; Michigan, Rep., 11; Minnesota, Rep., 8; Mississippi, Dem., 8; Missouri, Rep., 1 1; Mississippi, Dem., 8; Missouri, Rep., 1 7; Nebraska, Rep., 4; New Hampshire, Rep., 2; New Jersey, Rep., 2 Dem., 1; New York, Rep., 25, Dem. 11; North Carolina, Dem, 10; North Dakota, Rep., 2, Dem., 2; Ohio, Rep. 16, Dem. 4; Oregon, Rep. 2; Pennsy- vanla, Rep. 30, Dem., 2; South Carolina, Dem. 7; South Dakota, Rep., 2; Tennessee, Rep., 2, Dem., 8; Texas, Dem., 16; evmort, Rep. 2; Virginia, Rep. 1, Dem., 9; West Virginia, Dem. 1; Wisconsin, Rep. 8, Dem., 1; Wyoming, Rep. 1, Totals, Rep., 208; Dem. 135. Missouri In Doubt: St. Louis, Nov. 9.—This morning the results of the election in Missouri and in St. Louis were in doubt. Both sides claimed victory. The Democratic state committee claimed that the state had been carried by a majority of 5000 and St. Louis by 5000, and that the legislature will be Democratic by a majority of 40, assuring the re-election of United States Senator Cockrell. On the other hand, State Republican Chairman Niedringhaus was equally assertive that St. Louis has gone Republican by 20,000, and the state majority would reach 5000. He felt confident that final returns would show at least five Republican congressmen elected. New Hampshire's Vote Concord, N. H., Nov. 9.—This state has preserved unbroken its line of Republican national victories, which began with Fremont in 1856, and has given its electoral vote to Roosevelt by approximately 20,000. Congressmen Sulloway and Currier are re-elected by pluralities ranging from 7000 to 9000, and McLane, Rep., for governor leads Hollis by about 15,000. The legislature will be strong Republican in both branches. Senator Gallinger, chairman of the Republican state committee, will vote on at least 22 of LATEST RESULT OF THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

West Virginia Reports Meagre. Wheeling, W. Va., Nov. 9.-Returns from West Virginia are unusually meagre, and it is impossible to accurately outline the result except in the most general terms. The belief is that Roosevelt and Fairbanks have carried the state by a majority exceeding 10,000 and probably more. Meagre reports from a number of counties show that nearly everywhere the Republicans have sustained only slight losses as compare with their previous majorities.

We have frequently called the atten ‘ion of our readers to the importanc: of destroying the windfalls of the or chard a8 a means of lessening the fu ture damage from insect pests. Som: experiments recently conducted along this line emphasize the importance of this method of inseet destruction and ‘iso furnish a basis for its practica’ application, In the case of the curculio, which causes the stings that appear on ap- ples, it has been found that the insect will not develop unless the apple drops from the tree. Therefore if the wind- falls were carefully destroyed through- out an entire neighborhood this pest should be almost eliminate*, In the experiment referred to one- haif of the orchard was supplied with hogs to eat the windfalls, while In the other half these were left to decay om the ground. The results showed a marked contrast between the condition of the apples in the two halves of the orchard notwithstanding the fact that the aduit insects have wings to facilt- tate their movement. Much of the damage observed in the treated part of the orchard was thought to be the work of Insects from the untreated portion. This injury grew less as the distance from the untreated part of the orchard increased. And right here we wish to call attention to the impor tance of preventive measures being adopted by the fruit growers of @ whole neizhborhood. One unkept oF- chard will grow enough Insects to stock the orchards of a whole commun- {ty, and so Jong as any such orchards exist the efforts of neighbors to rid their orchards of insect enemies will be to. certofn extent annulled. There fs perhaps nothing connected with ag- riculture wherein cooperation is of greater importance than in the com- dating of insect pests. To return to the consideration of the apples. says the Prairie Farmer, tt {a important that the windfalls be re- moved and destroyed at least once each week, as the cnrenlio will begin to ‘emerge from the fallen apples if left on the erovnd longer than seven days. Tn the above experiment, applied to a half dozen different orchards. the re- moval of ai windfalls every seven days practically prevented the develop- ment of the curcuilo beetle.

At this period in the treo's'life the top has grown and spread to a considerable ex- tent; but the room occupied by the early fruit can now be reserved for the late fruit. In raising crops in an orchard, study what chemical the crop you intend to plant will take from the ground. For instance: potatoes, oats, wheat and rye take or assimilate the potash from the ground, therefore they should not be planted in an orchard; the trees need all the potash they can get. Corn takes less potash from the ground and may ‘be planted. Care should be taken not ‘to plow into the roots of the trees. Cow peas may also be planted {n an orchard. ‘A nursery man who lived near us told me he made a practice of planting cow peas and in the fall when they ripened he turned his hoxs in. OF course, the hogs root but they smooth the earth down under the trees so the roots are Rot exposed to the frost. He considers this method one of the best ways to eul- tivate an orchard.

Some Where Drink Had Cast Its Shadow Made Brighter by a Daughter's Devotion. The muffled sound of bubbling water in the big tin boiler and the swish of clothes in the rinsing water, were the only sounds which could be heard in Mrs. Tryon's small, steamy kitchen that breezy afternoon in April, 30 years ago. Presently the little clock on the shelf over the stove struck four. Mrs. Tryon sighed as she glanced first at the clock and then at the large pile of clothes yet to rinse and hang on the line before supper. Wearily she pressed her hand on her throbbing head and then on her aching back. As the tired woman lifted the heavy coal he took to replenish the fire, she wondered how long she could endure this ceaseless toil to support her drunken, shiftless husband and her six small children." "If I had a word of encouragement from one day's end to another," she thought, "it would help amazingly. But Tom doesn't care how hard I work, and the children don't realize it. Sometimes it seems as though it would be the easiest thing in the world to just give up trying and lie down and die. But for the children's sake, I must keep on. Ah, well! I'll hang to the work till I drop. That's the best I can do. God knows how it will end. Somehow, God seems far off these days. It's my own fault, I know. I'm too tired to think much about anything but work and worries." With a great effort, Mrs. Tryon lifted the heavy basket of clothes, and, staggering out of the door, dropped it on the grass under the clothesline. As the last garment was pinned on the line, the outer door was opened, and a shrill girlish voice cried: "Mother! Mother! Oh, here you are! I'm most starved. School makes me so hungry! Can I have a piece of johnnycake!" "You have have just one piece," answered the tired woman. "That's all the bread I have baked. that corncake and the bean-porridge warmed over are all we have for supper. But I want you to go to the apothecaries on an errand and then get supper ready; so hurry, Ida. I shan't more than get this wash out by supper time. "Oh dear! Till don't you leave the old washing till to-morrow, mother?" complainingly asked the child. "Leave it till to-morrow," you foolish girl, exclaimed Mrs. Tryon. "There's just as much to to-morrow—and besides, Mrs. Burns is going away and she grants her clothes early. Now get my booklet book out of the pocket of my black dress and I'll be there in a minute to tell you my errand." "Here is the pocketbook, mother," announced Ida, after a few moments of searching. "I guess there isn't much in it. It feels empty." "There are just two 50-cent scripts there. That is all the money I have in the world and it must last until I get my pay for this washing, so you must be careful careful of this 50-cent script." cautioned Mrs. Tryon. You had better put it into my pocketbook and hold on it tight until you get to the store." "I'll see to the money all right, mother, don't you fret about that; but what do you want me to get at the store?" "I want you to get a 'porous plaster'; that will be 25 cents, and then get me 25 cents' worth of gum camphor. There won't be any change to worry about coming home; but be careful of the things you get, my child," again reminded the anxious mother. "Of course, I'll be careful of everything," confidently promised Ida; "but I don't want to carry that shabby old pocketbook. I will take the script all folded up so, in my hand, and keep my hand in my pocket all the way. I will hold on tight, you see if I don't. I know I won't lose it." "I wouldn't be so proud, Ida," censured Mrs. Tryon. "What if the pocketbook is old and worn? A big girl 13 years old, oughtn't to be so foolish. I'd feel safer if you took the pocketbook; but I can't waste time talking about it. Take the money as you like. If you lose it—" But Ida was gone before her mother's permission was uttered and the wind hanged the door after her. Mrs. Tryon sighed as she heard her daughter hopping and skipping down the plank walk to the street and she wondered how many hundred year had gone by since she herself had felt lively enough to hop and skip. "I am glad poverty and a drunkard's home haven't taken all the pleasure and energy out of the children's lives if they have out of mine," she murmured. "I don't begrudge all my hard work for them if only my strength will hold out, but sometimes I fear—" Her loving words and thoughts were out short by the violent opening of the door and Ida's white face appearing before her. "Oh, mother! I've lost the money! I've lost it. I've lost it! What shall I do? Whip me if you want to. I deserve it. I deserve a dozen whippings. Oh, dear! Why didn't I do as you told me!" The remorseful girl covered her face with her hands and sobbed wildly. The tired mother dazed for a moment at the loss of half her little store of money, sank into a chair nervously wiping her detained hands with her apron, says Della F. Wentworth, who tells the story in the Union Signal. At length, with trembling lips she asked: "How did you lose it, and where? Can't I find it?" "Over by grandma's, on the corner. The wind most blew my hat off; I grabbed it and the scrip flew out of my hand. I've hunted and hunted and grandma and Aunt Mary came out and hunted, and we can't find it anywhere. Oh, dear!" Ida told her story between her sobs expecting every moment to be bitterly reproached and punished for her carelessness. The expression on her mother's face worried her. All through her hurried explanation, Ida thought: "Poor mother! How tired she looks, and sick, too! How hard she worked for that 50 cents I've lost! Why doesn't she speak and scold me! I'd feel better if she did." The few moments that her mother was collecting her thoughts seemed hours to Ida. At last Mrs. Tryon said: "I guess your conscience will punish you enough. If you learn to be more careful from this experience, I won't say another word about it. Now if I trust you with the other 50-cent scrip can you keep it until you get to the store and bring home safely the things I want? I must have the plaster for my lame back and the moths will destroy our few winter clothes if I don't get the camphor to put into them, and roll them up out of harm's way." Ida's eyes glowed and her cheeks flushed as she said: "Mother, if you will trust me with that money, I will put it in the pocketbook and pin it into my pocket and I'll run all the way to the store and home. I'll be back in a jiffy. I'll get supper, too. I'll do anything you ask me to." As good as her word, Ida was back before her mother had rinsed one tub of clothes. Putting her bundle carefully away, she almost flew around the little kitchen and soon supper was ready to be placed on the table. All the while, she furtively watched her mother's face and she saw as never before, how pale and worn she looked, and how wearily she moved from one piece of work to another. At every opportunity, Ida sprang to help her mother, lifting the heavy tubs, hanging out the clothes, carrying away the washbench and tidying up the kitchen, saying to herself meanwhile: "Mother shouldn't work as hard as this when I can help it. When I grow up, I'll earn for both of us." Soon the other children came trooping in, clamorous for supper; but when the father slouched in, surly and stupid from drink, the children's clamor ceased and the supper was eaten in silence. One by one, the little ones were put to bed by Ida, while Tom Tryon, the father, dozed in a drunken stupor by the fire. All the evening Mrs Tryon went from closet to bureau, gathering their messer supply of winter woolens, which she packed away in camphor. At last the final task of the weary day was done. Ida, lamp in hand, climbed the narrow stairs to her little chamber under the stairs. Her mother followed with the bundle of woolens. At the head of the stairs, Ida turned and giving her mother a clinging good-night kiss, said: "I hate myself for losing that money, mother. I never, realized until to-day what a hard time you have to support us all. It isn't right for you to have to do it all alone. I mean to work hard and make it up to you." At Ida's words, the burdened mother forgot her cares; forgot her weariness. Mother-love shone through the tears in her eyes and spoke in her voice, as with a tender smile, she said: "You have made it up to me already. I can do anything and everything I ought, while my children love me and care for me. Perhaps sometime your father will reform. Who knows? We'll work for it, you and I." Ida Tryon knelt by her bed that night as she used to kneel when a little child, and over and over she prayed: "O dear Jesus, help me to lighten mother's burdens and always to be a comfort to her." And again was that wonderful promise verified: "Before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear." TELLING POINTS Drink, the only terrible enemy England has to fear—The late Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany. The only local option that ultimately saves is the exercise of the individual option not to drink. The saloon robs the workingman of his money, his manhood and of his earning power—The issue. Toronto is following the lead of London in the establishment of a system of cafes in which no intoxicating liquors are sold. The experiment has proved successful in London and Liverpool. The theory, of which we used to hear so much, that "the best cure for intemperance is abundance of light wines," does not appear to have proven satisfactory in France. The condition of things has reached such a pass there that the faculty of medicine in Paris threw open their doors to the late session of the National anti-alcohol congress, and the conference was attended by thousands, including the president of the republic and the minister of war. Poverty and Painterism That intemperance does directly produce, not only poverty, but paupersm, is shown by the Massachusetts bureau of the statistics of labor. Thus in their report for 1896 (p. 98) we find: Of 2,633 paupers, 1,127 admitted owed their condition to intemperance. Of these drinkers only 477 were classed as "excessive drinkers," the rest being presumably of the class known as "moderate drinkers." that is, those not often actually intoxicated. Of these 2,633 paupers, the great majority had been workmen, as, bakers, 26; barbers, 25; blacksmiths, 29; boot and shoemakers, 51; carpenters, 40; stone-cutters, 22; factory operatives, 156; farmers, 38; fremen, 47; laborers, 1,171; machinists, 38; tailors, 30; teamsters, 65; etc. Only 214 of the 2,633 were men without known occupation. At an auction in London, recently, a first edition of Burns' poems was sold for $1,100. THE RICHMOND PLAN SEWER RATS FIGHT POLICE Monster Rodents Give Desperate Battle to Philadelphia Bluecoats During a Big Storm. Policemen with drawn clubs the other night fought a sanguinary battle with an army of big sewer rats on the steps of the Trenton avenue and Dauphin street police station, at Philadelphia. It was a curious slice feature of the terrific storm of the late afternoon. The downpour had flooded all the sewers in that section of the city and two scores of rats—big, ferocious denizens of the city's underground avenues—were forced to the surface. They sought shelter on the streets, only to find pavements and gutters flush with water. Plunging madly through the miniature flood, the rats sought a STRUGGLE WAS FEROCIOUS. shelter and the most available point of vantage was the high steps of the station house. Here they backed up, apparently waiting for the storm to blow over. It was just before the six o'clock roll call when the bluecoats report to the station for night instructions. When the first comers reached the steps they saw the rats. The latter showed fight, and the policemen waited for reenforcements. As soon as a good-sized squad had gathered, the men drew their clubs and blackjacks and charged in a body. It was a short but ferocious struggle. The rats, driven to a corner, fought viciously, and the clubs played right and left. The end of the encounter was the death of most of the rodents, the bodies of which were cast back into the sewers that had been their abode. The police say it was one of the most thrilling experiences they ever had. Roll call was delayed until the rats, which barred entrance to the station house, had been swept away. SOUR MILK AN ELIXIR. Russian Chemist Claims That Bacillus of Lactic Acid Preys on Enemies to Health. According to an interview with Prof. Eli Metchnikoff, of the Pasteur Institute, which appears in the London Pall Mall Magazine, the nearest approach to the slixir of life is sour milk. Anyone desiring to attain a ripe old age is recommended by Prof. Metchnikoff to follow the examples of the Bulgarians who are noted for their longevity, and who consume large quantities of the cheap and easily obtained beverage. Sour milk, states M. Metchnikoff, contains a large bacillus, remarkable for the great quantity of lactic acid it is capable of producing. This microbe does not exist normally in the human body, and can be introduced with great benefit to the health, as it preys on the hundreds of thousands of microbes which infest the large intestine. It has been noted that there is a great similarity between old age and disease . The study of certain diseases has proved that there is no difference between the mechanism of senile atrophy caused by the microbe on the person. In fact, on the approach of old age, a veritable battle is waged in the innermost parts of the body. Research is therefore being prosecuted to discover some means of strengthening the vital elements of the body on the one hand and to weaken the aggressive tendency of the harmful microbes on the other. When this end has been attained, Prof. Metchnikoff hopes to be able to prolong life considerably beyond the present average. BATTLE WITH HOOPSNAKE. Indiana Man Has an Exciting Experience on a Peaceful Country Road in Hoosierdoom. John Hess, a retired farmer residing in Columbia City, Ind., had a battle with a hoop snake that was exciting, to say the least. Mr. Hess and wife had been out to their farm, four miles east of the city, in Union township. After passing along the road a short distance on their way home, the horse shied at something in the road, which, upon investigation, Mr. Hess discovered to be a large snake, jet black in color. He got out of the buggy, and, securing a large limb, started to give his snakeship battle. The snake, later found to be a hoop snake, reared its head about four feet from the ground and started for Mr. Hess. That gentleman swung the club for its head, and was so successful that he hit it across the neck, breaking it. When the battle was over, and the snake stretched out, it was found to measure over four feet in length. This is the first hoop snake that has been seen in this country for years. This one was killed right on the edge of some swamp land, and Mr. Hess thinks that it is probable that its mate is somewhere in the vicinity. Jaggles—Did the faith cure do him any good?

Par- | ker’s vote was much smaller than that received by Bryan four years ago, and Roosevelt was especially strong in counties which of old were Populist strongholds. Despite the tremendous plurality, for Roosevelt, the Democrats apparently have olected their candidate for gov- ernor, John A. Johnson, At Demo- cratic headquarters Johnson's election was claimed by a plurality of from 20,000 to 22,000, Chairman James A. Martin, of the executive committee of the Republican state central commit- tee, claimed the election of Robert ©. Dunn, the Republacn candidate, but admitted that the result would be close. The Republicans elected the bal- ance of their state ticket. The Repub- Uicans will have a majority on joint ballot in the legislature, ensuring the election of a Republican successor to United States Senator Moses E.
