Large Republican Gains in the
Town Elections.
HARTFORD GIVES 400 RE
PUBLICAN MAJORITY,
Strong Indications of a Republi
can Triumph in November.

HARTFORD, Oct. 4.-Town elections in this
State occurred today. The town of Hartford
elected first selectman by majority of 4O2,
other selectinen by about the same majority,
treasurer by abou t 400 majority and all other
Republican officers except town clerk. Meth
er party anticipated this result and the Repub-
lcans are rejoicing accordingly. Returns
from other towns show Republican gains over
the same election in 1876. OF rs towns
so far heard from forty-six have gone Re-
six equally divided. OF these towns the Re-
publicans gain eleven, Democrats four and
six towns equally divided were Democratic
in 1876.
In this state the selectmen and town clerk
are the board of registration of electors The
constitutional amendment giving the appoint
ment of judges of the Superior and Supreme
courts tn the governor subject to the approval
of the Legislature is carried by large majority
Hereto fore they have been selected by party
caucuses in the legislature. There are large
Republican majorities OF the town officers in
Hartfort, New Britain, Merican, New Lon
don and Norwich and the gains in the control
OF the boards OF registration in many towns
are claimed by the Republicans to indicate
favorable results for their ticket in the State
in November.
NORWICH, Conn, Oct. 1.-The town meet
ing to-day resulted in the election of the Re-
publican ticket by 400 majority. Tn majority
for the constitutional amendments was 3Sl and
for license 4S3
MERIDEN, Conn, Oct 4.-The entire Repub-
lican ticket was reelected by an average ma
jority of $50, Republican gain over last year.

The Fashionable Beauty in Turkey.

a.l
First as to Turkish beauties, about whom SO
much has been written ard SO little really
known. Are they indeed the hours we have
been taught to consider them? Are they the
timid, gentle, gazelle-like partners of their
jealous lords? Alas! poets and d-amatists
have very much misled us; their chief beauty
is in the mystery that surrounds them; and
the closer we see them, both physically and
morally. the less do we admire.
In general they have oval faces, clear olive
skins, languishing dark eyes, and beautiful
hands, soft as velvet and white as snow-be-
yond this, nothing They lack the natural
grace and pretty coquetry of our Levantine
bellies, and the firm tread, elegant manners
and becoming modesty of European women
Their figures are clumsy, their features some
what harsh. their lips full and often thick /;
they walk with roll (their legs being bowed),
and even their natural attractions depend
more or less upon artificial aid. They thickly
powder their faces, blacken their brows and
dye their eyebrows and lashes, SO that when
half yelled by the yashmak screen, they are
certainly striking and present dazzling effect;
but under other circumstances most Of them
would pass unobserved.

WEAVER TO LUM.
Lum's Statement Declared Base, Treach-
erOus and False.

Lum's Statement Declared Base, Treach-
erous and False.
New YORK, Oct. 4..Gen Weaver was at
Fort Wayne yesterday, and from that point
issues the following proclamation:
have just read the statement of Dyer ID.
Lum. This statement is base, treacherous and
false In all its essential features. The follow
ing is truthful statement of the moneys re-
ceived by me from all sources since my nomi-
ton for President:-Chicago express about
$500; D. A. Hopkins American Sentry a
Greenback paper of New York, 5000; Hon.
Peter Cooper, $40; various small contributions
at various points, say 500; Hon. R. j. Cham
bers, through Mr.. bfurch $50. Immediately
after my nomination Mr.. George o. Jones, of
Albany, N. T., advanced ont of his own funds,
at my request, $500; since which time he has
sent me in small sums from time to time in all
800 more, making the total from Mr. Jones
$500, for which he holds my receipts, and a
total from all sources of $685.. Out of this I
have paid the expenses of my long and labori-
GUS campaign, and have contributed to others
as follows:-To the Greenback central commit
tee of Alabama, $3.50; to the Greenback CEN
trail committee of Arkansas, 500; expenses of
the New York meeting, $4S; to S. H. Randall
and other Greenback workers, $780, IN all $50,
leaving me but SLIPS to defray my personal ex-
penses and those of my little son, who has
been with me about month. This falls short
500 of defraying my actual expenses, and
know personally that the National executive
committee is in arrears several hundred dol
lars for documents sent out to the people. l
am thus particular in the statement SO that my
friends and the public may know exactly what
have received and just where it came from;
and | further state that l do not know nor
have 1 ever asked where the gentlemen OBJ
tanned the money they may have contribut-
ed as above stated, nor do care in the least |
do know, however, and most positively assert,
that have never requested, either directly or
indirectly, personally or through another, con-
tributions from the Republican committee, its
agents or friends, nor have the promise or
hope of receiving any money from such source.
The people of this nation have heard and read
my speeches during the campaign, and can tes-
tify whether they have been delivered in the
interest of the Republican party. The solicit
tude of Lum for the Democratic party in the
States where have been laboringsis pathetic,
and his fear that have COMPOUNDED Mr.. Bay
ard with the Democratic party is most touch
ing. He evidently apprehends that to build
up the Greenback in Indiana may possibly
ignore the Democratic party here also. Should
such be the case 1 cannot help it. / treat both
parties alike and compel them to face the
record they have made. 1 am maknelan open
fight for the integrity of my party and the
welfare of my people against the old, rotten
organizations. 1 defy all the traitors in Chris
tendon to injure me in the least. l go from
this place to Michigan, thence to Illinois and
Iowa. Yours truly

London Globe.1

Balzac among French writer's is a conspicu-
GUS example of the literary man who in
Shakespearean phrase "doth make the night
joint laborer with the day." When at work
on lie Medecin de Campagne''-that book
which he estimated to be worth more than a
law or twenty victories-he only slept five
hours a day. He wrote from midnight till
noon, then corrected proof till o'clock. The
brief remaining interval was occupied with
dining and short promenade Balzac had
various expedients for increasing the number
OF hours in the day, and for getting the most
labor out of himself. Craving inordnately for
fame as he so many times acknowledged in his
letters to his sister, he was ready to make any
sacrifice to realize the desire. At one time he
''went to sleep with the fowls" at six or seven
O'Clock in the evening, rose at one in the
morning and scrubbed till eight; then slept
for an hour and half; breakfastvd and re-
turned to harness, dining at five, and then to
bed. Another practice of his was to sleep
from one o'clock in the day TO half past six,
and to write from seven in the evening until
seven in the morning. zone must turn out

A celebrated living English novelist, whose
books are decidedly sensational in color, NAV

cist in at least one particular. He is reported
to begin his day at six in the evening and to
struggle on gamey till the same hour next
morning. The late Mortimer Collins, SO we
are told, was an habltual borrower of the

of the household had retired to rest, and con

period of bis greatest mental activity, sat at
his desk until two in the morning. thou h it is
only fair to say that of late years he has
strongly shown asbelief in the early hours of the
day. Thackeray, too, used often to write far
into the morning; and some of Poe's best
sketches were midnight pennings even

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Revenue agent Jacob

attacks on revenue officers in the second dis
trlct. Twenty OF these persons belonged to
the gang that burned deputy collector Stuart's
property and fired upon his family, wounding
his son.
An Important Historical Record Secured.
Dispatches have been recaived through the
department of state from j. R. Lowell, our
minister at London, stating that he has sue
ceeded in obtaining through the courtesy of
Lord Granville, from the archives of the
Lords OF Admiralty, the original official re-
ports, never made public, of Capt LLOYD and
other officers of the British navy who COM
manded the ships of war composing the
British squadron that attacked the United
States private armed brig General Armstrong
at the battle of Fayal, September 26, 1914
The dispatch is addressed to Col Samuel C.
Reid, the son of Capt. Reid, who commanded
the Armstrong. These documents, with the
report of the British consul at Fayal at the
time, fully decide the long disputed question
as TO the liability of the Portuguese govern
ment to this government for permitting the
violation OF this neutrality laws in her port.
Inc SUBJECT was for many years the topic of
correspondence between the governments of
tne Enitea States and Portugal, and was
finally left by treaty to the arbitration of
Louis Napoleon, who, not having before him
this evidence, nor the previous admission of
Portugal, decided in favor of Portugal, and
thus this government became liable to the
claimants of the vessel and its officers and
crew, who for sixty years have been kept out
OF their just rights The documents will

ceTed at Kingston, Saturday night was held
today and showed that the left side of the head
completely around to the back was completely
smashed in, the skull being badly cracked in
every direction Two of the balls afterwards
tired by Elkins, the murderer, were found i'm
bedded in the brain, the other passing COM
pletely through, coming out at the left ear
At the preliminary examination of the
murderer this forenoon testimony was intro
duced showing that Elkins made the following
confession after the tragedy, these being his
exact words:
Damn him, l smashed his head in and I
thought his brain needed regulating so / put
my hand down to make sure where his head
was, then placing my pistol down until it
touched pulled it back little and fired three
shots into him. pounded the damned cusss

OF stolid indifference. He requested another
prisoner to be placed in the cell with him,
which was granted.
