The news grows better. We got
the worst of it at first. Louisiana is
probably Republican instead of
Democratic, as at first announced.
So with Massachusetts, excep: the
Governor. Wisconsin is heavily
Republican, a large gain over a year
ago, when the Opposition carried the
State by Is, 900 majority. Florida
is added to the list, probably, while
Washington Territory comes in to
swell the number. The later returns
may show different complexion of
affairs in some of the other States.
AS it is, there is nothing to despair
about. -znter- Ocean Nov. 5.

AN OPINION FROM MADISON,
Especial Dispatch to The Sentinel
MADISON. Nov. 3.-As far as returns have
been received they indicate large Republican
gain in this state from last year, and that the
Republicans will have majority In the Assem-
blylof about ten or fifteen members. Thus far
the Senate remains in doubt, bat rather in
favor of the Reformers. Sufficient returns have
been received to indicate that theRepubIicans
have elected all of the congressman exceptin
theFourth and Fifth Districts, hut not enough
to estimate the majorioy In the State.

Gosh and SusIl.

A correspondent of the New York Ford,
after reading the published report of Mrs.
Tilton's cross-exa examination, writes that Jour
nal as follows:
have been reading the testimony of Mrs.
Tilton, and l must say it is as loathsome
piece of reading as l ever undertook.
Through a whole page Of fine type, her
evidence extends, evidence of which q
quarter of a column would hold all that
would be admitted as relevant to the case
in any court in Christendom. And what is
it? The bulk of it's revelations Of conjugal
privacies which human beings not dead to
human decencies regard as SO sacred that
fortunes could not draw from them the
revelation of such sacredness, and half of it,
nay. nine-tenths of it, the revelations of
little petulancies and little incompatlbilities
such as l suppose occur in happy homes,
but in decent homes never pass the lips of
those in whose ears they are uttered. This
wretched gable is poured out into the ears
of half dozen persons, and taken down in
shorthand and prepared for the press as
evidence bearing on the question whether
Beecher is an adulterer or not.
1t is an indecent exposure, which an Irish
woman in a tenement. house, who had been
compelled to have her husband put under
bonds for whacking her over the head with
the shovel when he was in liquor, would be
ashamed to make; which every human
being in whom even the natural, unculti-
waited sense Of shame has not been pervert-
ed would be ashamed to make. The first
story we read is of Adam and Eve putting
on fig leaf. The last we read is OF TheO-
dore and Elizabeth TiltOn pulling it off.
Not only are they naked and not ashamed;
they are naked and climb on pedestals to
let the public look at their nudity-and I'M
clean nudity at that Great heavens! Is
it the natural impulse OF d man when
he learns that he is cuckold, to
take the story into the newspapers and
send his wife's love letters after itl Is it the
natural impulse Of a woman, when she

The Man Who Made n For une.

Not long ago the papers of the country
were filed with accounts OF the steamer
Faraday and the new cable she was Ian ding
on the coast of New Hampshire. This
calls to mind the history OF a young jour
nalist of this city, and l repeat it as OF in
terest. The young man referred to came
here soon after the close of the war to cor
respond for the Chicago Post and Albany
journal. He was very young and inexpe-
rienced, but good telegraph operator.
Failing 10 secure the news he wanted by
personal observation and investigation, he
adopted a method which was as novel as 1T
was successful. He could read the Merse
alphabet by sound. This was his stock in
trade. Upon it he operated, and for months
was recognized as one of the most clever
and enterprising news-gatherers at the
capital And all without any labor on his
part. He would rise late, stroll down to
the Capitol about noon Gnst when the other
correspondents were sending OFT their dis
patches), wander into the telegraph office,
listen to the click of the wires, and then
write and send telegram containing all
the important items the other men had
gathered 1t was easily done and emf
nently successful. Complaint was made of
him, but it was unavailing.
He Overreached, however, and fell. The
Washington treaty was being considered in
executive session of the Senate. The doors
and window were closed; but nothing could
hinder our hero. He climbed to the top of
the building, crept over the Senate cham
Der, and laying flat on his face shorthand
ed every word of the treaty as it came from
the lips of the clerk and arose TO the ceiling.
He sold it to the New York Tribune. The
New York Times correspondent was angry,
and exposed him, and his papers dismissed
him.
Unwilling to lie idle, he set his active
brains at work inventing telegraph instru-
ments. When the French cable had been
laid he had been commissioned to report
the event. He boarded the cable ship and
watched the operations of the telegraphers.
The method is this: A needle, like that of
compass, swung on pivot. The current
OF electricity coming over the wire moved
it to the right or left. A deviation to the
right meant a dot; to the left dash.
Thus the Morse alphabet was used. The
movements Of the needle were so slight
that mirror of great magnifying power
was necessary for it's profitable reading.
Even then but fifteen words could commu-
nicated in minute. Our hero thought he
could do better. So, as l said, he set his
wits to work and after two years labor has
just produced his machine. BY it he can
take nifty words minute, or three times
the number that could be received by the
old process. A company of New York cap
ltallsts has been formed to operate the pat
emit, and our hero is millionaire and but
twenty i've years old.

A Vocal Wonder.

would have little to say about Partisan
theatricals at this Senegalian heat, saws a
Paris correspondent OF the New York
Herald, were it not for a wonderful discov-
cry, carefully kept secret up to this very
day, and which has just been communicated
to me by the clever man who undoubtedly
will owe to it his fortune and celebrity
throughout the world. But before telling
you what it consists of short preamble is
necessary. You are we'll aware that, apart
from few really great artists, belonging,
for the most part. to the finer sex, the lyric
stage is suffering from daily growing
scarcity OF interpreters worthy of the i'm
mortal chefs-dR MUre composed by ROssini,
Meyerbeer, Mozart, Halevy. Verdi, etc. A
good tenor, more especially, has become,
like the blue bird with green tail, i'm
possible to be found for the past fifteen
years, the last one having been Roger, the
creator of Jean de Leyde, in Meyerbeer's

Even tenorini like Capoul, whose vocal
pow ers are quite insufficient for the great
opera style, are not common, and we are in
fact threatened with the complete extinc-
ton OF the male soprano, and you should
remark that it is just the moment when
the first French lyric troupe will soon have
to exert their powers in house by one
third larger than any other hitherto used
fOr OpefaJfc per1Ormances-the new opera
building-where the orchestra and choruses
alone will require numerous additions.

power to induce the black monarch to
give up his shadow of sceptre and
crown and make his debut at Paris in
the role of Otello, perfectly suited to the
color of his skin. But the funny Kalkah
would not listen to any suggestion unless
Mr.. Halanzier should first come and take
his place on the throne of Asbantee, which
the perplexed manager declined to do, not
withdrawing that royal purple is tempting
to a Frenchman. So that the potentate Of

Death of the Original Arkansas Traveller
Colonel Faulkner was born in George
town, Scott county, Kentucky, March 3.
1903, and was seventy lone years OF age at
the time of his death. He came to Arkansas
in 1928, and settled in Chicot county, on the
Mississippi river, as a cotton planter. The
wife OF the deceased passed away before
him, in June, 1871. His family consisted of
four children, two sons and two daughters.
On the twenty sixth of July Colonel Faulk-
ner was baptized by Rev. I. b. Lee, and
with God before him, his death was easy.
1t ia well known throughout the South
vest that Colonel Faulkner was the orig
inal persOnatOr of the Arkansas Traveller
and it was his pride to be known as such,
The story, it is said, was founded on lit
tie incident which occurred in the cam
paign of 1910, when he made the tour of
the State in company with the Hon. A. H.
Sewer, Governor Fulton, Chester Ashley
and Governor Yell. One day, in the Bos.

During the war between the States,
Colonel Faulkner was captain of ordnance
at the arsenal in this city, until the place
WIS abandoned to the federals. From here
he went to Tyler, Texas, where he still held
the position of ordnance officer. At the
close of the war he was at Marshall, Texas,
mented at the first term of the existing
Legislature by the naming after him of the
new county of Faulkner.
At the converting of the present constitu-
