ELECTION In CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-At the election
in this city and county to day for one
judge of the superior court and five
commissioners, little interest was
taken and light vote polled. Nearly
complete returns from the city at this
hour, 1890, p. M, estimated that the
county vote will indicate a divided
result The probabilities are that
Jameson rep) for judge is elected by
narrow majority. The democrats
elect three county commissioners

doubt. There were no special issues
at stake and the results seem to have
turned on personal popularity.

A Beard All at Once and in One Place.

A gentleman who formerly resided
at Trenton, Tenn, told an American
reporter of a strange freak of nature,
which came under his observation
there few years ago. There was
young man of the town who had long
passed the period of his maturity, who
had not sign of beard on any por-
licn OF his face. One day he noticed
a small lump on his neck, few inches
below his chin. AT first he paid little
attention toit. The lump commenced
growing, however, till finally it was
larger than a large walnut and closely
resembled a wen. The young man
went to a physician and asked him to
relieve him of the disfgxring growth.
The doctor concluded to try to remove
it with knife. On making an incis-
ion the doctors knife encountered a
spongy substance, which ON examina-
ton proved to be nothing else than
matted and coiled mass of hair. 1t
seems that the beard which should
have been spread over the young mans
face, had concentrated to this one spot
and grown beneath the skin. The
hair was removed and the opening
soon healed and the strange develop
ment became unnotlceable.

The Confederate Flags.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The hun
dreds of captured Confederate battle
flags which were exhibited for long
time in the ordinance department
museum have been transferred for
safe-keeping to the adjutant generals
department. While oA exhibition
this collection formed one of the most
interesting exhibits at the national
capital. They are now packed away,
which fact prompted a war depart
ment official to remark last evening
that these flags were destined to be-
come the prey of the destructive moth
or. mildew unless they were again ex-
posed to light and all. While in
the museum the tattered and
scorched relics of war were hung
about the capacious room. 1t is proba-
BILE that Secretary Lincoln will be re-
quested to again hang these banners
on the inner walls of some public mu
scum. Among the number are flags
with tragic histories. The Palmetto
battle flag of South Carolina regi-
ment is said to have been captured
from remnant of the regiment who
had piled up their own dead as earth
works and were delivering their fire
from behind that ghastly protection.
A mound of dead bodies was piled
about the staff to keep it upright. The
flag of a Virginia regiment was
finally captured after seven men
had been killed about it. The fa-
nous black flag, which was alleged
to have been hoisted over Fort Pill
low, is also there, and the handsome
blue-silk banner of the Norfolk Light
Artillery Blues. A handsome United
States flag was recaptured at the fall
of Richmond. The confederates found
it wrapped about the body of an otfi-
Ger of New York regiment who was
shot while trying to escape with the
flag he had received with speech,
not very long before, from the ladies
of his native south. The remainder
of the vast collection are of equal in
terest.

The Sufferer a Society La

The Sufferer Society Lady.
NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-One of the
most prominent and highly-esteemed
society ladies in New York has been
discovered to be confirmed klepto-
maniac. and her appropriations
form the theme of conversation now
in social gatherings. 1t seems that
for some time articles have been
missed from houses where she visited.
Toilet articles, souvenirs of travel on
the tables in the parlors, books from
the library, and even jewelry
would mysteriously disappear and
never be recovered. After many
articles had disappeared from various
residences where she had visited it was
arranged by several ladies that a watch
should be put on during her approach
ing visit to residence on Long Island
Here she was detected appropriate
ing" a very beautiful enameled China
scent bottle for the toilet table. She
was seen to take it and secrete it in
her trunk the day before her depart
ure, when it was arranged that one of
her nearest friends should visit the
lady herself at her residence III this
city and ascertain, If she could, what
she did with the slolen articles
She being wealthy there was no
suspicion that she sold the things to
a pawnbroker, as another fashionable
though not so well-otf lady was once
discovered to be doing The friend,
while stopping with her, discovered
that she had the stolen articles secret
ed in the lumber or trunk room in the
garret of her residence. The friends
all agreed that the best way to recover
the things was for each of them to
drop her note requesting the return
of the article which they respectively
claimed to have ''loaned" her. The
lady has been written to by nearly all
her friends, and has in each case
promptly returned the articles called
for. The question which is agitating
the circle now is, shall any of them
again idvite her to THEN houses?
