Theirs, Eondpess for Goldfish,

Anecdotes of NJ. Theirs of course rain
upon the public since the great mans
death. One of the most amusing is that
which recounts the little mans admira-
ton for a certain preparation of timed
Goldfish. an eXtrayagant fondness which
was somewhat astonishing in man who,
as rule, cared exceeding little for what
he ate or drank. This dish, which the
fastidious critics Of this northward CAPT
tai have always pronounced southern and
vulgar, was pronounced by Theirs to be
the chef Fpucre of the human mind. He
would have eaten itevery day if he could
have had his own way. His distinguish
ed friend Mignet shared his fondness for
this preparation. 1t happened that in
Nav, when the venerable politicians
health began to decline, Madame Theirs
felt constrained to Danish the well be-
loved Goldfish from his diet. This griev
ed Theirs to the heart, but he said
Soon after the edict of

THE latest round-the-world railroad
connections talked of are as follows: A
tunnel under the Straits of Dover: the
passage of the Ural Mountains; a railway
on the steppes of Asia and across the
rivers and mountains; tunnel or pom
toon bridge at Behring's Straits, and
then home-stretch'' through Alaska,
and the Pacific States, and across the
Continent, a matter of more than 1000
miles. Then passenger may take a
seat in London and never leave the car
till he reaches New York. All this seems
hardly more improbable than the Pacific
Railroad did generation since.

trade, and (3) TO show friendship for a
sister Republic, which Joined heartily in
our Centennial celebration. With these
and other inducements to make grand
exhibit at Paris, it is not satisfactory to
hhd that the Chinese are in advance of
our go-ahead nation in preparing for the
great industrial display. Not only have
they secured $4,000 square feet of space
but they are preparing to send their pro-
ducts so classified that the world NAV

ed, from this display of enterprise, that
the Chinese have learned more from the

that Henry Meiggs' California career had

were robbed. Many of these claims are

OdIO.
COLUMBUS, o., October 9.--The day
has been pleasant throughout the state,
which is usually considered favorable to
the Republicans, but the fair weather is
offset by the apathy and withdrawal of
Republican votes to the workingmen and
greenback tickets. The Democratic
committee claims the election of Bishop
by from 10000 to $4,000, and also a ma
jority in both branches of the general
assembly. The Republican committee
concede Bishops election by over 1000,
but are in doubt about the assembly.
The workingmen's ticket received large
vote, casting 10000 in Hamilton county
alone.
COLUMBUS, O., October 10.-The
democratic state committee have re-
ceived official returns from just one-half
the counties of the state and these show
a democratic gain on the vote of last
year of 1916. Taking this as basis,
they claim that Bishops majority can
not fall below $4,000 and they think the
full official count will give him $4,000 or
10000 majority. In the absence of def
mite information the republican COM
mittee concede Bishops election by 25,-
600. The democratic committees figures
on the general assembly are as follows:
In the house the democrats will have 81
members, republicans 80, and the
nationals or workingmen 3; democratic
majority %. In the senate the demo-
Gratis will have % members, and the re-
publicans 10; democratic majority 10.
This will give the democrats IL major
ity on joint ballot.
COLUMBUS, O., October 1l.-There is
no material change in the election re-
turns. The democratic majority in the
state is about 10000, and the legislature
is largely democratic in both houses.
