REPUBLICANS WIN! Roosevelt and Fairbanks Capture the Country By an Enormous Majority. ALL THE DOUBTFUL STATES CONCEDED President Roosovelt Will Probably Have 325 Votes in the Electoral College Against 151 for Judge Parker. In Addition to Presidency Republicans The republican national ticket has ed the situation by telegraphing President Roosevelt his congratulations. Watson to Form New Party. The republican national ticket has been elected by a vote in the electoral college that will exceed that of 292 given Mr. McKinley in 1900. The result of Tuesday's balloting was astounding even to the most sanguine of the republican managers. Confident as they were of success, they were not prepared for the astonishing losses which followed the closing of the polls, bringing into the republican column not only all of those states they had claimed as safe for their candidate, but, with the possible exception of Maryland, every state classed as doubtful. [Illustration of a man with a mustache and a suit, set against a decorative background with wheat stalks.] O Democratic successes are confined to the solid south, 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. Official returns indicate that he lost some of those which the Nebraska candidate held for his party. As a dramatic climax to the sensational majorities given him, came President Roosevelt's formal announcement that he would not be a candidate for re-election, tending the only exciting aspect to an election night otherwise so one-sided that it was impossible for even the victors to attain that degree of enthusiasm that usually marks the occasion. be the unprecedent Roosevelt and F. Parker and Davis far in excess of H. (202) in 1900, but is four less than the four years ago. Iain that the repu et has carried even outside of the so-may take the office Maryland. The in the next house will not be less to How New Co President Roose the co-operation ofgress. The presen The perfect weather conditions which prevailed over practically the entire country brought out a vote which experienced politicians predicted would be a record-breaker, and in this increase of ballots the republicans gained more than their share. The period of suspense that followed the closing of the polls was not prolonged. In no election in recent years has the result been definitely known so soon. Hardly had the sun gone down when results in New York began to appear. By 7 o'clock it was evident that the great Empire State had given the republican candidates a majority beyond the predictions of the party managers. Belmont Gave Up Early. 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 commonwealths 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 Watson to Form New Party. Late in the night came an announcement from Melvin G. ralliser, manager of the campaign for Thomas E. Watson, the candidate for the people's party, that as a result of the overwhelming 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. If Maryland has gone republican, as unofficial returns indicate, the republican vote in the electoral college will [Portrait of a man with a beard and mustache, wearing a dark shirt and a hat, set against an ornate decorative background with wheat stalks and leaves.] be the unprecedented one of 325 for Roosevelt and Falrbanks to 151 for Parker and Davis. Not only is this far in excess of Mr. McKinley's vote (202) in 1000, 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 not be less than fifty. How New Congress Stands. President Roosevelt is assured of the co-operation of a republican congress. The present republican majority in that body is 24, 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 Wynn, democrats, which reports indicate have been gained by republicans. In the twelfth, Ohio district Taylor, republican, is reported to have defeated Badger, the sitting democratic member who was a candidate for re-election. The most surprising of all the reports, however, come from the fifth and fifteenth Missouri districts, both strongly democratic, and the former represented by Mr. Cowherd, chiefman of the democratic congressional cam palign 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. 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 have only one republican representative, Savannah ELECTORAL BY STATES.

DEMOCRATIC JUDGES KILLED. Fatal Election Row in Notorious Cripple Creek District. At Cripple Creek, Colorado, two democratic election judges were killed in the district, a Penbody deputy sheriff was mortally wounded and a number of democratic judges were beaten and thrown into jail. Ike Idelbolt and Chris Miller, judges at Goldfield, were shot down by one of Sheriff Bell's deputies. They had ordered the deputy out of the polling place. He refused to go, and turning upon the judges, shot and killed them. A CALL BY PARKER Formulates Open Letter to Democrats of Country. STEADFASTNES8ISURGED Defeated Candidate Declares Party Has a Great Mission to Perfeffm for the Welfare of the Country: At Esopus, N. Y., Wednesday night, Judge Parker gave the press an open letter addressed "To the Democracy of the Nation," in which he thanked those in charge of his campaign work, and declared that the people will soon realize that "the tariff-fed trusts are absorbing the wealth of the nation." The letter follows: To the Democracy of the Nation: Our thanks are due to the members of the national committee and to the executive committee in charge of the campaign for most unselfish, capable and brilliant party service. All that it was possible for men to do they did, but our difficulty was beyond the reach of party managers. I am most grateful to them and wish, in this general way, to extend my thanks to the workers, as well as the rank and file; all over the country. I know how hard they struggled against overwhelming qdds, and I only wish I could take each one by the hand and thank him. Deeply as I regretted leaving the bench at the time of it, I do no lament it. I thought it was my duty. In the light of my present information I am now even more confident that I did right. I shall never seek a nomination for public office, but I shall, to the best of my ability, serve the party that has honored me, and, through the party, serve my country. Party Ha Great Mission. The party has in the near future a great mission. Before long the people will realize the tariff-fed trusts and illegal combinations are absorbing the wealth of the nation. Then they will wish to throw off these, but the republican party will not aid them to do it, for its leaders appreciate too well the uses to which the monies of the trusts can be put in political campaign. When that time comes, and come it will, the people will turn to the democratic party for relief. We entered this canvass with every northern, western and eastern state, save one, in republican control. This gave to that party a large army of office holders reaching into every hamlet, many of whom gladly followed the examples set for them by the members of the president's cabinet in devoting their time and services to the party. Must Forget Divisions. To accomplish much in this direction, however, we must forget the differences of the past. If any one suspects, his neighbor of treachery, let him not hint of his suspicion. If he knows he has deserted us, let him not tell it. Our forces have been weakened by divisions. We must bring home to the people at other than election times the fact that moneys contributed to the republican party by the trusts is not only dishonest money, but it is given that the trusts may without hindrance take a much larger sum from the people. In the presence of a defeat that would take away all personal ambition were it true that otherwise it possessed me, I do not hesitate to say that in my opinion the greatest moral question which now confronts us is: Shall the trusts and corporations be prevented from contributing to, control, or aid in controlling, elections? Such services as I can render in that or any other direction will be gladly rendered. And I beg the co-operation as a fellow-worker of every democrat in the country. ALTON B. PARKER. LATEST FROM COLORADO. Peabody Republican Governor, Defeated by. Adams, Democrat A Denver special says: Roosevelt's plurality in Colorado has been increased by later returns and may run above 15,000. Republicans and democrats claim the election of governor and congressmen at large, and the republicans threaten to contest the state election on the ground of alleged frauds in Denver. On the face of nearly complete returns, Adams, democrat, has carried Denver county by 4,500 plurality, and appears to have a safe lead over Peabody, republican, without this county. 12. 1904. VICTOR CONGRATULATED. President Roosevelt Deluged With Telegrams from All Sections Felicitating Him on Election. President Roosevelt was overwhelmed with congratulations Wednesday. They were presented by many people in person and were received by mail and by telegraph from every state and from almost every city in the country. Thousands of telegrams have been received and they are coming in undiminished flood. Four operators are kept busy receiving the messages over the wires at the white house telegraph bureau. Before noon one telegraph operator alone had taken 300 telegrams. The others were equally busy. It will be physically impossible for the president and Secretary Loeb to acknowledge each message received in accordance with the usual custom at the white house, but President Roosevelt desires it to be understood that he appreciates to the full the expressions of his friends and would be glad if it were possible for him personally to greet and thank every one of them. Official business was nearly impossible of transaction by the president Wednesday. Scores of people called on him, to extend their felicitations upon the result of the election. While he related good feeling President Roosevelt was perfectly calm and undemonstrative. GEORGIA FIGURES REVISED. Returns From One Hundred and Thirteen Counties Consolidated. According to the consolidated returns received Wednesday night from one hundred and thirteen of the one hundred and thirty-seven counties of Georgia, Parker's plurality is 51,404 over Roosevelt, who came second. Watson fell behind Roosevelt about 1,200 votes in the counties listed. The total returns from these 113 counties give Parker 70,341, Roosevelt 18,937 and Watson 17,597. It is probable that the completed returns will send Parker's plurality up to 60,000. Parker carried a large majority of the counties of the state, but half dozen go into the Watson column and ten or twelve show majorities for Roosevelt. The incomplete official returns shows small majorities for Watson in the following counties: Douglass, Johnson, McDuffie, Oconee, Paulding and Warren. In his home county of McDuffie, Mr. Watson received 283 votes, as against 196 for Parker and 4 for Roosevelt. The democratic nominees for congress were overwhelmingly elected in every district. The closest race, that in the ninth, between T. M. Bell, democrat, and J. M. Ashley, republican, resulted in the election of Mr. Bell by a majority of 7,116 votes. Griggs, in the second; Lewis, in the third, and Bartlett, in the sixth had no opposition and the opposition in the other congressional districts, outside of the ninth, was purely nominal. Some of Georgia's labor leaders admit that they did what they could to contribute to the defeat of the democratic ticket in the doubtful states, particularly in Indiana, and they did what they could in this direction, they say, because of the treatment which they received at the hands of the recent democratic state convention and on account of the failure of the legislature to enact any of the labor legislation which has been demanded. SOUTH CAROLINA Solid for Parker and State Ticket Without Opposition. Parker has carried South Carolina by not less than 40,000 plurality. The democratic state ticket has been elected without opposition. The state legislature is unanimously democratic. The following democratic congressmen have been elected: First district, George S. Legare. Second district, J. O. Patterson. Third district, Wyatt Alken. Fourth district, Joseph Johnson. Fifth district, David E. Finley. Sixth district, J. E. Ellerge. Seventh district, Ashbury E. Lever. Peck Loses In Wisconsin. While the election returns in Wisconsin are far from being complete, estimates give Roosevelt and Fairbanks over 75,000 plurality in the state. Democratic candidate for governor, George W. Peck, concedes his defeat. The legislature will be largely republican, though it looks like a deadlock on United States senator. Delaware Safely Republican. Roosevelt has carried Delaware by about 5,000, and the republicans elect governor and congressmen. The legislature will be overwhelmingly republican. ITALIAN ELECTIONS Ballots Show That Radicals Lose to Government. EXTREMISTS ARE DOWNED A Personal Friend of the Pope Defeated—A Fugitive from Justice Is Chosen to Seat in Chamber. Advices from Rome, Italy, state that definite returns show that all the members of the cabinet have been re-elected. Former Premier Rudinf, Baron Sonnini, leader of the constitution division and Senior Pettitt, foreign minister, and M. Ferreri, the socialist leader, have also been re-elected. Summing up the result, it isestablished that the governmt has been victorious over the extremists, who have lost twenty seats, Turin, Naples, Palermo and almost all the large towns joined Milan and Genoa in defeating the extremists as a manifestation against the general strike. This rally was the predominant note in the election. The most remarkable contest was in the district of Castelfranco, the birthplace of the pope. Count De Maceola, who killed M. Cavalotti, the famous radical leader, in a duel, had always been re-elected on the first ballot, but Monday, although supported by the clericales, the count, who is a personal friend of the pope, did not receive sufficient votes in his contest against the ministerialist candidate, Signor Pellegrini, a stanch advocate of divorce, and Maceola must try to win on a second ballot. Senor Nasl, former minister of public instruction, and a fugitive from justice, accused of petulation, was reelected unanimously by his fellow townsmen at Tparani as a protest against the charges brought against him, the people of Trapani not believing him guilty. Signor Pallizzoto, who is considered to be the head of the mafa secret society, was a candidate at Palermo, but he received only 289 votes to 1,238 votes cast for his opponent, who was elected. SOUTH FLORIDA FAIR. Exhibit of State's Resources to Be Held at Tampa Arrangement have been perfected for holding in Tampa, Fla., November 14 to 26, inclusive, the greatest exposition in Florida's history, known as the Midwinter Exposition and South Florida fair, at which the agricultural, horticultural, live stock, industrial, mineral and other products of the state will, for the first time, be placed properly before the view of the world at large. The railways have granted very low ready an attendance of thousands from ready an attendance of thousands from other states is guaranteed. FOR REGISTERING ILLEGALLY. Twenty Persons In St. Louis Pulled for Using False Certificates Warrants were issued by United States Commissioner Gray at St. Louis Wednesday against twenty persons, charging them with having registered illegally on false certificates of naturalization. The warrants were issued on the strength of information submitted by Horace Dyer, assistant district attorney. An investigation of registration on false naturalization papers has been in progress. MENAGERIE FOR ROOSEVELT. Animals from King of Abysinla Arive at New York. Two lionesses, two monkeys, two ostriches and a zebra, which were presented by King Menelik, of Abyssinia, to the president of the United States, arrived at New York Monday on the Atlantic Transport Line steamship Minneapolis from London. One lioness died during the voyage. GROVER AROUSES JERSEYITES. Ex-President Makes Closing Campaign Speech in Newark. With a tribute to the strength and enthusiasm of the first voter, ex-President Cleveland in Newark, N. J., Friday night began his second speech of the campaign. He had waited ten minutes for the cessation of the cheering and noise that his appearance brought forth and, for thirty-five minutes after he began his address, eight thousand persons, crowded together on the tan bark of a riding academy, alternately listened and cheered. THE election is over and the Republicans have excellent cause to shout. THE Democrats have been awamped by a deluge of ballots. Will they now be good? TRUE manhood is what the American people like. This is found in President Roosevelt. The voters of this country have shown their appreciation of this quality by giving the President a record breaking votes on Tuesday last. THE TRIBUNE office was thronged on Tuesday night by a large number of friends who had gathered to hear the returns of the election. A special Western Union wire was placed in and an efficient operator was engaged to give the news. Everybody was loud in praise of the service which was continued two hours after the bulletines of the two daily papers had closed. ROOSEVELT has broken all records. He has been 'elected President of these United States by a larger popular and electoral vote than any other President. Much of this is caused by his personal popularity and the principles for which the Republican party stand. The people are against the fanatical policy of the Democrats, especially when compared with the statesmanlike action of the great Republican party. THE Democrats, especially those of the South, made their fight on the Negro question. We know that they did the wrong thing, but the people of the country have demonstrated it by giving them the worst drubbing that they have ever had, thus proving that this country will treat the Negro right and that the Southern Democrats should leave this dead issue and extend to the Negro his Constitutional rights. That's all. If the Democrats would stop harping about the Negro and seek live issues, they will be able to make a better showing before the voters of this country. They have been rebuked for their unnecessary attitude against a race of people that have assisted in making the South what it is to day. These Democrats have bent their best energy in enacting discriminative laws against the Negro rather than according them their God giving and Constitutional rights. JUDGE Norwood of the city court in his statement in one of the daily papers about the cause of the Republican success, states that the party was supported by the Negroes, Cowboys, fanatical Republicans, Socialists and Anarchists, and in fact by the lawless element. Judge Norwood is known as an able-man, but such statement as this does not add to his greatness. If his views are correct then there must be millions of lawless people in this country. This same Judge asserts that "The Negro will keep the South staunch and unchanged." And that's where the weakness of the South lies. Let the Negro alone and they may win some victories. & Masonic Notes. It has been fully decided that the corner-stone of the Masonic Temple now in course of erection on West Gwinnett street will be laid on Thanksgiving afternoon. Grand Master H. R. Butler, M. D., will have charge of the ceremony, Past Grand Senior Warden, Chas. A. Clark of Brunswick will deliver the oration. Each Lodge in the city will have out its full membership and it will be an occasion long to be remembered among the craftsmen in this city. Invitations have been sent to several of the other institutions, and the committee desires to have the attendance of brethren from the nearby ledges. Eureka, the mother Lodge, will initiate several profanes at the regular communication on Wednesday night. The Lodge will be called on at seven o'clock. Hilton Lodge No 2, had some work on Wednesday night. All of the local Lodges are receiving a shock of strenuosity. Next month all the lodges will have election. Brethren "look well to the East," and in fact select-only the very best brothers as your officers. We acknowledge the receipt of an invitation to the fifty-second birthday anniversary of Ill. Magnus L. Robinson of Alexandria, Va. To prove that the Masonic sign of distress is effective, the following occurrence is published concerning colored preacher named Rev. D. R. Stokes, which took place on February 1903 in Texas: Stokes states that he had been hired to make speeches against prohibition. In the midst of the last speech he made a large body of white men rushed into the meeting, seized him, took him to the Sabine River, rowed him to the other side, and prepared to hang him. In his desperation he determined to see if his high standing in Negro Freemasonry would avail him any, and accordingly he made the sign of distress of the Masonic order. Almost instantly a white man, a leader apparently, but who had been one of the strongest advocates of the proposal to lynch him, stepped to his side demanded that the Negro preacher's life be spared. He refused to give his associates his reasons for his change of mind, but simply said: "Spare him and I will guarantee that he never again sets foot in Gregg county." The crowd finally consented, and the white Mason hurried Stokes out of the county. Stokes has not been there since, and says he never intends to go there again. United States Attoney Atwell has made an investigation and has substantiated Stoke's story. Mr. Atwell says he knows of no law under which the United States authorities can start prosecutions, and Stokes did not desire that any be begun. Both he and Atwell refuse to give the name of the white man alluded to. St. Phillips Dots. Sunday was Communion Day and our congregation was out in force. Rev. Sims preached at 11 a. m. His text was Matt. 2:6. Subject "Bethlehem the prince of cities or the birthplace of Christ" At 8 p. m. there was a large crowd out to hear Rev. Sims, his text was St. Luke 2 3:33. Calvary the most exalted mountain. Subject "The Pedigree of Mountain. Here heaven and earth met." This was one of the most interesting sermons that has been heard in St. Philips for a good while. The woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society will have an entertainment Thursday night the 17 instant. We urge our members to pay their dollar money now before it is too late. If our friends wart to assist us in paying, we will receive it thankfully. Mr. Issac Sullivan one of St. Philips oldest members was buried from St Philips on Tuesday afternoon. Bro. Sullivan was a faithful member and he will be greatly missed. The usual services will be held to-morrow. Every body is invited to attend these services. Galnes Chapel Dots. On last Sunday the services were well attended. Rev. Porter, pastor preached three very interesting and instructive sermons, which were greatly enjoyed by all present. The Sunday School gave a splendid concert on last Wednesday in connection with a three nights entertainment by the little folks, under the auspices of Supt. J. W. Love and teachers Memorial services will be held at Gaines Chapel to-morrow at 3:30 p. m., Rev. F. R. Sims, B D and others will speak Rev. W. H. Holmes will preach at 8 p.m., the pastor will preach at 11:30 a.m. All are cordially invited to each service. Second Baptist Church. Last Sunday morning at the Second Baptist church a large congregation greeted Rev. Smith. The pastor preached at 11 a. m, from Romans 6:4 Subject, "The object of Christ's death and resurrection and Baptism a burial in water after the death to sin." After the sermon a large collection was lifted which was indeed gratifying to the officers. Several persons were baptised and indeed every one present was made to feel that the Lord was surely in that place. At 7:30 p. m. Rev Smith preached from John 3:3 Subject, "The necessity of a new birth to see the kingdom of God" In this sermon Rev. Smith was at his best. He is indeed very instructive in his sermons and quite interesting. Visitors are always welcome. Services as usual Sunday. College Dots. The most important event that has happened since school opened was the visit of Chancellor W. B. Hill. He spent the morning in inspecting the work of the industrial department and the afternoon in the literary. At noon he addressed the Faculty and students in chapel. He congratulated the President for the plan of discipline instituted for this year. In urging the students to make the best possible record in conduct and scholarship he said that the object of education was two-fold the acquisition of knowledge and correct habits of conduct. Without knowledge we would be in ignorance; without discipline in the state of anarchy. Dividend Notice.

Beé had given her no orders about tea, and she was in a quandary, Should she go up into the parlor ard lay tho cloth? Or should she keep In the solltude of her basement kitchen until the master returned und made known his pleas- ure? Before she had debated the question long with herself, the latchkey turned again In the lock, He was coming back, * But this time he was not aloné, A woman's volce sounded fn the hall. ‘The soft rustle of a woman's dress ‘passed by the kitchen stalrense, where the new servant was listening, and then the parlor bell rang. The dent and dumb woman canght up the tray of dishes that stood ready on a side table and went upstairs. Mr. Thorpe, glaneing up at his new servant, caw a middle-aged woman, bent and stooping, whose thin, sad face, deeply wrinkled, was half hid- ‘den by a widow's cap and spectacles, and some narrow bands of black hair, well sprinkled with gray. “Poor soni! She looks as if she had seen a world of trouble,” he thought, and ibet dismissed her from his mind. _ In Hetty’s own armehatr, before: the fire, kat another widow, young, lovely and fascinating to n degree, On her the eyés of the master rested moré complacently, and with good reason, Few men could have resisted the ebarm of those deep blue eyes and golden locks, and that wild rose com- Plexion, that contrasted so strangely with the heavy widow's cap she wore. The deaf and dumb servant waited deftly enough during supper, and was, of course, no restraint upon the conver- satlon. 7 After the table had beeti cleared away the piano was opened. For more than an hour a bird-llke soprano war: bled Charley's favorite songs, and Oharley listened as happily as if there bad been no absent Hetty in the world, “Hark! Some one is sobbing and ery- ing near the door,” sald the fair widow suddenly, as she finished a Scotch air that Hetty loved. “Ob, Charles, it T have been watched and perhaps fol- lowed to this house, what shall we do?” Her trembiing hands fell with a erash upon the keys. ‘The crimson dled away from her Ips and cheeks, and she clung to him, unnerved by some eud- den thought of terror. “It {s' nothing but your fancy, An- na,” said Charles, freeing himself and opening the door. But even he was thoroughly startled when he saw the new servant crouch- ing on the first step of the staircase, near the parlor, with her head buried in her clasped ‘bands, and rocking to’ and fro in a paroxysm of grief or pain. “Are you 11?” he asked loudly, wa ing his hand upon her shoulder, Absorbed in her own sufferings she had not heard the opening door. As Charley touched her she screamed out and lifting her head, showed a face | streaming with tears, | “Are you iI?” asked Charley again; “Can we do anything for you?” She lodked from him to the graceful, shrinking figure in the doorway. ‘Then she rose, pointing to her mouth and cheek, and making a strange’ moaning kind of nolse, a8 she took the | lamp she had left on the hall table and hobbled down to her basement room. “A sudden attack of toothache or neuralgia in the face, as near as I can make out her meaning,” said Char-, ley. “Why, Anna, how pale you are!” “That woman frightens me. ‘There is something very strange abont her.

And then you'll never kiss me again, T'm afraid! You see, Charley, Miss ‘Vina came here this afternoon, and she told me something about you; and when I wouldn't believe tt, she took me down to her own room, and there t saw you, Charley, going into a bouse in Washington street, and meeting a lady that you kissed!

I know!” sald Hetty, inter- rupting him. “But I did not know then and at last I became angry, Charley, and half demented, and I had such dreadful thoughts. about her that I waéatrald. Then I beard you call her sister, and I remembered Anna at once. { put off my disguise, and washed off the paint, and waited till she had gone to bed to come and ask you to forgive me. But I’m afraid you never can.” It was impossible to cherish dny feel- ing of resentment, with the image of the weeping figure on the stairs #0 fresh in hie memory. “Poor child! What an evening you must have passed, thanks to that med- dling old mald,” he safd, kindly. “But she was right {n one thing, Hetty. It is Just one week since poor Anna came to Boston, and I have visited her every evening since. I wished to tell you of jher arcival at the frst. But the poor girl has a morbid dread of being dis- ‘covered. Her husband fs a drunkard ‘now, and very neurly a Iunatic, if not entizely £0, and she has fled to me for a refuge and a protection till a divorce can be obtained. She trembles at 2 shadow, and her nerves are all un- strung. You will pardon her for fear- ing that you might not keep her secret, after you have heard her story from her own ps. Such a lovely creature as she was, and it! It seems hard that her life should be so wrecked; and yet, she is only justly puniehed.

You wjll make her welcomé for my sake, Hetty, and you will soan fore her for her own, She shall never return to her husband. In his jealous, drunken fury, her life is not gate.” | “Oh, I will do everything fn my pow- er to make her happy.” said Hetty, whose kind heart was touched, as he had intended it to be, by the ead story of the beautiful Anna. “But Miss Vina must not know anything about her, if she 1s to be safe from her husband un- der our roof.” “End that acquaintance now, my love,” sald Charley. “This will be an excellent excuse.” Hetty hesttated, “and we will bury the history of tho dumb servant Jn oblivion.” he ‘added. “Anna need never know.” ! “Dear Charley, how good of yon!

He made a wide detour through the fee-bound forest and reached the Liao on the following noon. The weather was bitterly cold, but Ito had two days’ seant supply of rice and drled fish, and kept on the move tc avold freezing. He made hie way eas! to the main line bridge, and concealed himself in the fronwork of the etruc ture at nightfall to awalt the coming of the train. There was a Mtussan sentry at each end of the bridge. These Ito avoided by approaching the struc ture from the frozen river bed and climbing up the embankment to the fron braces. There be walted for seven terrible houre. The troop train that he had expected carly in the evening’ dla not arrive until hours after midnieht. The night” was clear, bright and: deadly cold. Ito lay along the girders. The freezing {ron sank into his bones. ‘The torture in his limbs gave way to numb- ness as the hours passed. : He fell into a half stupor, from which the train awakened him and almbst shook him from lifs position, He lay for, many minutes while the girder hummed fainter and fainter, but 60 paralyzed in his lmbs that he could scarcely move. He drew himself up to's sitting posture at last and kneaded the life back with his knuckles. The charge of powder had already been sdt. Ito pulled off bis mittens and fambled in the pocket of his wadded coat for matches. The matches were there, but his dead fingers could not grip them. He crushed open the Docket with the strength of his arms and clutched the box in his palm. His mind was confused with torture and desperation. He knew but two things —that be must fire the powder and tell Xosbimoto, the Japanese captain. If he lost his life in accomplishing the Brst the detachment would not know. ‘The first match broke unlighted. He walted an instant to learn tf the Rus- sian sentry had heard. He realized now the big mistake he had made in taking his postion on the bridge before the coming of the train. Had he waited at the river until the train bad passed, he would have Deen able to keep off the cold. He strock the sec- ond mateh, working his hands as a babe would fumble with a clamsy tool. The sulphur lighted with a ¢rackle that was like thunder in the midst of the deep silence. As Ito dropped in a hesp to the snow of the river bed, fourteen feet below, he heard the feet of the aroused sentry above, ‘The spy called toward the opposite side of the river under the shelter of the bridge. He heard the first sentry shout to the other in Russian that some one had scratched a match. The sentry on the far side started for the first, and passed over the bridge-above Ito.

CASE OF TRUD COURAGE. ‘On the front seat of an open trolley car bound east on Chestnut atreet from ‘West Philadelphia the other evening at about.830 o'clock sat a woman en- veloped in a Ught shoulder wrap. ‘The only other passengers were three men on the smokers’ seats in the rear. At Sixteenth + street ‘the woman threw aside the wrap, when it was seer that the elaborate waist she was wearing, made to button in the back, was tn- buttoned except the very top button. ‘The’ garment ‘was rather close-fitting, and the woman had lost the slimness of youth, so that the opening gaped wide and showed a large expanse of Gazzling white neck and shoulder, with ‘the insertable colored ribbon, threaded ‘through a lot of filmy stuff, just be- low. ¢ “This unexpected sight threw two of ‘the men fn the rear into @ state of ner- vous excitement, or, at least, It was about to do so, but things began to bappen right away. The third man, with an absence of Hesitation that should entitle him to 2 good slice of the Carnegie hero fund, tucked a short pipe he was smoking into his pocket, slid off bis seat and moved along the footboard to the seat just behind the woman, who was wholly unconscious of the situation and serenely comforta- ble in the belfef ‘that her toilet was complete and effective! The man was a stendy-looking individual, not sug gestive of the masher nor the seeker of adventurer, and acted in a very calm and matter of fact way. He attracted the woman’s attention by leaning over and tipping his hat. Then he sald something, evidently in explanation, and the woman, giving a little start, then binshing a little and then smiling, turned her back on the man, who in mediately proceeded to button up the Gress. He must have bad a wife who wore the same kind of clothes, for he worked with the utmost sangtroid, and the buttons were all in their places Defore the other two men hed done gasping for breath.

If the little girl 1s coaxed into ‘the habit of giving her locks 2 hun- dred strokes with a stiff brush every morning and evening and braiding “them loosely for bed, the foundation for ‘a futute beantifullead of halr will be laid. Counting the strokes will lighten ‘the task for her, and she will soon be- ‘come accustomed to it and make Jt part of her dally toilet.

Even as late as the year 1805 there were Indians on the North American continent, who had never seen oF heard’a gun, had never seen, tobacco smoke and were capable of worship- Ing the white men who controlled these wonders. The Rev. A. G, Mo- rico tells of some of the adventures of Siman Fraser, who has stamped bis name on Canada, Father Morice writes as follows: “On landing at Eake Stuart Fraser's men, to impress tho natives with a proper’ idea of thelr wonderful resources, fired a vol- ley with thelr guns, whereupon the whole crowd of Indians fell prostrate to the ground. To allay their fears and make friends tobacco was offered them, which on being tasted was found too bitter’ and thrown away. ‘Then, to show its use, the crew Hght- ed their pipes, and at the sight of smoke Issuing frém thelr mouths the people began to whisper that they were still full of the fire wherewith they had been cremated. Pieces of soap were given to the women, who, taking them to be cakes of fat, set upon crunching them, causing foam and bubbles in the mouth, which puz- zled both acters and bystanders. All these phenomena, however, were soon explained ‘away, leaving no suspicion in the native mind, but a most pro- found admiration forgthe foreigners and their wares, ” - Sir Alexander Mackenzis had an idea that the Indians of tha far north- west sere partly Jewish in orgin. From Lake Athabasca in 1794 ho set out at the head of an expedition “in a birch bark cano2, 25 feet longs, 4% feet beam and 26 inches hold, with 3,00 pounds of baggage and provis- ton and a crew of nine French Cana- dians.” He reached the Pacific coast and returned. The aboriginees he met were for the most part possessed of strongly religious Instincts,” said he in ‘his report. “With regard to their origin all We are prepared to state, after a carefil survey of their Jan- guages, manners and customs, is that they are undoubtedly of a mixed ori- gin; come from the north-northwest and had commerce in their early his- tory, perhaps, through intermarriage fwith people of Jewish persuasion or ongin” New Year’s day, 1811, in the Cana- dian northwest was described by D. W. Harmon as follows: “This being the first day of anottrer year, our peo- ple have passed it, according to the custom of,the Canadians, in drinking and fighting. Seme of the principal Indians of Fraser lake desired us to allow them to remain at the for} that they might see our people drink. As oon as they began to be a little in- toxicated and to quarrel among them- selves tne natives began to be appre- heasive that something unpleasant might befall them also. They there- fore hid themselves under beds and elsewhere, saying that they thought the white people had run mad, for they appeared’ not to know what they were about. It was the.first time tHat they had ever seen a person intoxicated.” Chicago Daily News. 7 LOWERS IN SOAP BUBBLES.

Simple Preservation of Eggs—A simple plan 1s to bury the eggs in salt, standing them upright Instead of Yaying them on their sides. They may thus be preserved for a whole year. To prevent bright pans from being blackened by smoke, rub with fat be- fore putting them on the fire. Wash with hot water and soda after using them, and they will be quite bright. ‘A small sponge saturated with oll of lavender and hung near the bed, or a handkerchief moistened and laid near the invallds couch, will be found an efficient ald in driving away intru- sive files. . An Easy Way to'Peel Beetroot—As soon as the bects are sufficiently cooked, place them in a vessel and pour cold water on them, and by gent- ly pressing them the peel will come off easily. A greasy hearth should not be made wet in order to clean it. Rub it over with a piece of dry hearth- stone; then brush it off, and you will find the hearth has become beautl- fully- white and clean, with no-signs ot grease. Patent leather boots should never be cleaned with blacking. They should first be wiped with a damp sponge to remove dirt, and then thor- oughly dried and polished with a soft cloth. A very little oll of fresh but- ter may occasionally be used as a dressing. To Serub Wooden Articles—Rinso well, sprinkle with fine sand, soap the brush and scrub with the grain of the wood. Carefully rinse and dry, and stand in the open alr for a time, if possible, if it is the pastry-board you are scrubbing, and it is only used for the purpose of making pastry, do not soap it. Corned beef hash is said to make an excellent stuffing for green pep- pers. Of course, np one would make hash on.purpose to stuff peppers with, but hash is often left over, A house- wife of an experimental frame of mind who had hash left over, filled some peppers with it, poured around them a brown gravy of butter, flour and water, and baked them. Never allow meats to boll while they are being cooked in water. Hard Dolled in salted water will toughen the tenderest piece of mieat ever sold. Let the. water simmer gently, keep- ing the pot on the back of the range. To Make Flannelette Non-Inflam- mable—After flannelette articlés’ haye been washed they should be rinsed in water in which one ‘ounce of alum o- sal ammonia has been dissolved: This Uttle precaution may be tt means of saving many little lives. In packing, set a, trunk up on tn chairs and the process can be cot fortably accomplished without bac ache, or. knee strain. If the trunk } not well filled with clothing, ¢rus: crumpled paper in corners to prevent things shaking around. .

NEAR THE 2,000,000 MARK McKinley's Highest Vote Over Bryan Is More Than Doubled—Solid South Seems to Be Finally Broken. With the election returns still incomplete Thursday moraling the plurality of President Roosevelt in the nation according to all indications, will exceed 1,500,000—the greatest plurality ever given an American candidate. The nearest approach to this vote was in 1896, when McKinley received a plurality approximating 850,000, and in 1872, when Grant received 762,891 plurality. The interest centers in Missouri and Maryland. Late returns indicate that the former state is in the republican column, so far as presidential electors are concerned, but that Joseph W. Folk, the democratic candidate, has been elected governor. In Maryland the presidential vote will probably be cast, for President Roosevelt. Late returns indicate that Thomas A. Smith, democrat, has been elected to congress in the first district by 450 plurality. Congressman Jackson, of this district, however, puts forward a claim of trick ballots and fraud and says he will contest the election. In the other states it is simply a question of pluralities. Solid South Broken. "The solid south" was broken by the probable defection of Missouri—this section of the country usually having thirteen states in the democratic column. The figures show but twelve states with 133 votes for Judge Parker. President Roosevelt carried all the northern states—swept them in fact—and he had 343 electoral votes. The banner state is Pennsylvania. Twenty-four hours after the polls closed the returns from this state indicated that Roosevelt's plurality would reach 485,000. Next came Illinois, where the president polled approximately 225,000 more votes than did Judge Parker. Ohio gave Roosevelt 200,000 and New York 174,000. The New York city returns are still incomplete, but the amazement over the result has not subsided. Judge Parker carried Greater New York by only 41,000 votes. In general the situation is chiefly interesting because of the tickets in many of the states were cut. President Roosevelt ran ahead of his ticket in many localities, notably in Massachusetts, where he secured a plurality of 86,000 votes, while the republican candidate for governor was defeated for governor by 35,000. In that state the legislature is republican and the entire republican ticket, with the exception of governor, was elected. In Missouri circumstances are similar. In Nebraska the definite announcement that the legislature is republican disposes of the statement that W.W. Bryan had aspirations for a United States senatorship. In that state, too, the governorship is in doubt, and it will require official returns to determine who is elected. Both sides claim a victory. There is a curious situation in Minnesota, where Roosevelt secured 125,000 plurality, but where a democratic governor and a republican lieutenant governor were elected. The election of a democratic governor is the second in the history of the state. Chairman Babcock, of the republican congressional committee, probably returned to congress from Wisconsin, but Chairman Cowherd, of the democratic congressional committee, was defeated in Missouri. The situation in Colorado presented an interesting phase. Roosevelt has carried the state by probably 15,000, but the governorship is still in doubt, both sides claiming a victory. New Yorkers Create Pandemonium Over Result of Election. Broadway, New York, Tuesday night, from Twenty-third street to Forty-second street was packed with a shouting, noisy multitude who were celebrating the elections. Horns, hells, rattles, whistles and other contrivances which would create a din were used with vigor and effect. It was a good-natured crowd, and all seemed to be republicans for the time, and the names of Roosevelt and Higgins were often and heartily cheered. Democratic Figures in Alabama. H. S. D. Mallory, chairman of the democratic state committee, states that Alabama cast the largest vote in years. The majority of the Parker electors will probably be 75,000. In the seventh district, in which the only real fight against the democratic candidate was made, Congressman Burnett, democrat, is re-elected over Powell, fusion, by 2,000. All the nine congressmen are democrats. No Fault of Railroad When Its Employees Go. Out on Run-Fatigued. The Railway and Engineering Review has the following to say about the working of railroad employees over time: It has been a very common custom to abuse fullroads for working men overtime, and it has been equally common to ascribe many of the wrecks to that cause. The strange part of such a charge is the assertion that the practice proceeds from greed on the part of the roads, the writers apparently being ignorant of the fact that the men are paid by the hour and that it costs no more to pay two men ten hours each than one man working twenty hours. A court in Pennsylvania has latently taken a sensible view of the case. It appears that a freight train had orders to remain upon a sidetrack until four trains had passed and that, while waiting, the entire crew went to sleep. Being awakened by the passing of the third train, they assumed that it was the fourth train and consequently pulled out and into the last train, which had not yet arrived. Two persons were killed and several injured, and on the trial of the engineer, whose case first came up, the plea was made that when a railroad employee falls asleep from physical weakness, from illness, or from weariness from long hours or steady employment and an accident occurs, the employee should be acquitted. The court overruled this plea, holding that no man had a right to work on a railroad unless in fine physical condition, and if he fell asleep, no matter from what cause, he should discontinue work, even though he should lose his position, rather than jeopardize the lives of passengers; and as a Fésult the engineer was convicted. This is a sensible as well as just ruling. A man himself is the best judge of his own fitness for such work so far as the matter of sleep is concerned; in fact, he is the only one who can know of his condition in that regard. The absurdity of the charge commonly made against the railroads on this account lies in the fact that trainmen have the absolute choice of going on or staying off duty, and it not infrequently happens that trains are tied up on route because men prefer to go to sleep rather than work long hours over-time. If there is any "greed" connected with the matter it is wholly on the part of the men themselves, who naturally want to make large wages, and as a result frequently do go but in an unfit condition and thereby endanger not only their own lives, but the lives of others and the property of the company as well. It is full time that the responsibility in such cases should be fixed where it belongs, and the Pennsylvania court has made a move in the right direction. How to Stay Young. How old are you? The adage says that women are as old as they look and men as old as they feel. That's wrong. A man and woman are as old as they take themselves to be. Growing old is largely a habit of the mind. "As a man thinkk in his heart so is he." If he begins shortly after middle age to imagine himself growing old he will be old. To keep one's self from decreptitude is somewhat a matter of will power. The fates are kind to the man who hangs on to life with both hands. He who lets go will go. Death is slow only to tackle the tonacious. Ponce de Leon searched in the wrong place for the fountain of youth. It is in one's self. One must keep one's self young inside. So that while "the outer man perisheth the inner man is renewed day by day." When the human mind ceases to exert itself, when there is no longer an active interest in the affairs of this life, when the human stops reading and thinking and doing, the man, like a blasted tree, begins to die at the top. You are as old as you think you are. Keep the harness on. Your job is not done.

Making Artificial Rubles. Few problems have had greater interest for the chemist than the artificial preparation of diamonds and other precious stones, though their efforts have not been marked with conspicuous success, despite the invention of the electric furnace and other means of producing high-temperature. A recent process is the making of artificial rubles, and has been discovered by a German chemist named Vermeul. It consists of fusing a mixture of clay and thromium oxide with the heat of an oxyhydrogen burner and then allowing the mass to cool suddenly, thus producing crystals. The two materials are placed in alternate horizontal layers, and the heat, which is as intense as possible, is applied from above. The quick cooling caused by suddenly shutting off the blast produces the hardness characteristic of the ruby, and the resulting crystal, which is pure and brilliant, is said to possess all the physical properties of the natural gem, being cut readily and taking a fine polish.—Harper's Weekly.

A series of experiments, conducted by physiological chemistry at the university of Pennsylvania, has proved that swimming is the most beneficial exercise. He visited the dressing rooms at the athletic field, and immediately before each athlete left for his exercise drew blood from him by means of the regularly prepared sterile needle. Then, when the athlete returned to the dressing room, after running, jumping, polevaulting, or engaging in water polo, the needle would again be brought into play, and a second sample of blood drawn. Analysis of the blood, to discover how far each exercise increased the number of red corpuscles, showed that water polo and other forms of swimming resulted in the largest increase. The swimming exercises were thus shown to be the most beneficial, for the greater number of red corpuscles, the richer is an average increase of 21 per cent. as against 17 per cent. for the next best exercise—short-distance running. After one of these examinations, during the athletic season, while the men were in the pink of condition and exorting themselves to the utmost, Dr. Hawk found the following results, in round numbers, from the count of blood corpuscles: Percentage of gain after the 100-yard dash, 25; 120-yard hurdles, 21.5; half-mile run, 18; mile run, 14; two mile run, 9; broad jump, six jumps, 15; three-minute water polo game, 27.—The World's Work.

After a few days the letter came back, with an intimation that it must be rewritten, as the eagle appeared upon it head downward. Evidently Berlin smelt "Majeatsbeeldigung."

Deafness Cannot Be Cured Jewish by local infections as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed you have a swollen mass that can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Ninety cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
