SPEAKERSHIP INTRIGUES.
CARLISLE STILL CONFIDENT OF
TO-DAY'S RESULTS.

His Chances Remarkably Bright and

spOndence over the Empty Honor.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O.-There has
been pulling and hauling all day over the
Speakership. Tonight the contest is very
warm. The Randall men look more hope
ful. The Carlisle men are as confident
and as well assured of victory as they
were last night. Mr.. Randall claims that
the fruits of the day have been good. He
has been working all day like a man
struggling to save his life. Mr.. Carlisle
has not been working much. He is only,
he said, tonight eXerting himself to keep
what he has got. There is no sign what
ever of any breaking from him, although
Mr.. Randall's followers have been busy
during the day circulating reports to that
effect. The three Massachusetts Demo-
Gratis arrived here tonight. They went
directly to Mr.. Carlisle and told him he
would receive their votes. Mr.. Randall
has claimed them. Judge FOllett, of Gin
cInnati, VINO has been claimed by Randall,
tonight assures Mr.. Carlisle that he was
Will have to be changed little. They
are all here now. Nichols. Hardeman
and Gambler will vote for Randall. The
other seven are for Carlisle. Senator
Brown has been working to-day for
Randall. He says that to elect Carlisle
would be doing very good thing for the
Republican party. There Will be absent
from the caucus tomorrow night about
six Democrats. They are at home sick.
If iC estimated that about 1QI will ha YOroc

that he was absolutely certain of SO on
the first ballot. He knew what he was
talking about. He said that the predic-
tlOn was as true as all the others he had
made during the canvass. every claim
| have made so far he continued, "has
been borne out by facts. This statement
of 96 men TOR me, will be found to be cor

the New York delegation tonight would

sion, Of course. could have no effect. 1t
simply leaves New York where 1t was be-
fore. Mr.. Carlisle VIII get about six of
its votes, but he does not claim them for
his slate of Sc. His claim that he is prac-
tically elected now is as good as it was
last night. The Randall men tonight
show how shaky they feel by starting all
manner of stories about Carlisle. One of
them is that he has promised. in cOnsid-
Grafton of certain votes, 10 organize the
Ways and Means Committee that there
shall be no effort looking to tariff reform.
When this report was mentioned to Mr.
Carlisle he promptly branded it as a lie
Everything points to the conclusion that

Carlisle shall be Speaker.

is hardly worth while to inquire why this has

So passes the world. But there are

There are men from whose memories no

He Couldn't Stand Such Expenses.

An old chap from down east came into
Grand Union hotel restaurant the other
day and took seat at one Of the tables.
A polite waiter came forward and gave
HIM a bill of fare and awaited the custo-
mer's commands. After scanning it
from top to bottom, he winked to the
waiter, and that worthy bent down to
hear what he had to say, and the follow
ing dialogue took place:
II say, young mar, what do you
charge for square meal?"
''This is after the regular dinner hour, .
replied the knights of the plates, "but
Y, can order anything you like on the
bill of fare and pay only for what you
order. You will find the prices opposite

on the table, and, pushing his old, di,
1apidated slouch hat on the back of his
head, rushed ont into the street remark
ing as he passed out: Not much, bJ

Trees Around Farm Buildings.

Many of the farm buildings of the
country have around them no trees nor
shrubs, and are thus exposed to the di-
rect rays of the sun in summer, and the
cold winds in winter, giving bare and

are exceptions, and these exceptions are

The excavations of the Germans cover

Just to tie north of the excavations

the God Kronos, from which good.

obtained. Near the middle of the ex-
cavated area is the Temple of Zeus, with

teen on each long side and six across the
ends. North of that, not far from the
foot of the hill of Kronos, is the Heraion
or Temple of Hera, one of the most
ancient of the Olympic temples, and
just east of the Heraion is the Metroon,
or Temple of the Mother of the Gods.
Along the northern edge of the excayated
area, Just at the foot of the hill of
Kronos, are twelve treasure houses,
which were built by twelve Greek cities
to hold their dedicatory offerings. From
the northeast corner of the main ex-
cavated area an arched passage leads out
into the Stadlon, or race course where
the foot races were run. Of the hippo
drome or horse-race course no remains
have been found. Shuth of the Temple
of Zsus was the Bouleuterion or council
house, and in the northwest corner of
the excavations are the foundations OF
the great gymnasium. All the excavated
area is filled with the ruins of buildings,
some Of which have been identified with
those mentioned by ancient writer's,
while in regard to others nothing is
known. Though little more than the
foundation of the various buildings is
now in position, the fragments lying on
the ground are sufficient TO make an
almost complete restoration OF nearly all
the buildings possible. The ground is
