instantly. The deceased was lately
from Missouri. He leaves no family
except wife to mourn his untimely and
sad end.

The Board of County Commissioners
did not count the votes cast at the vot-
ing places in Klaine precinct. This
vote would not change the result, but
the majority Of votes cast were for the
Republican nominees. The official ia
bic is presented elsewhere excepting
the vote of the precinct named.

The Board of County Commissioners,
setting as Board of Canvassers, threw
out the votes cast at two voting places
in Klaine precinct. OF the manner of
holding the election the Clark Clipper
says:
Another election has come and gone.
Here it was more like an election, in
point Of votes, than this valley had ev-
er seen, there being several times the
number cast at the previous election.
Then, the voters were nexs}y all from
the ranches, row they are mostly set
tiers. From different interpretations
as to where the voting place should be,
there were two instead of one. In its
organization this was made Klaine pre-
cinct, and Klaine p. o. the voting place.
This Office was recently moved to Clark
City and on Oct. !, the name was
changed to Clark. On the morning of
the election question arose as to
where we should vote. Some claimed
in Clark, and others at the old site of
Klaine P. q. as the precinct had not
been changed. A minority faction, in
whose possession were the poll books,
organized and held forth in Clark.
The majority thought the proper
thing to do was to 60 to the old place,
organize, and adjourn to a suitable
place and they also agreed that if the
minority would go with them, to accept
their board already selected, but they
would not do it. The majority then
proceeded to the old voting place, or
ganized board and decided to vote
right there. A tent, tables, chairs etc.
were soon procured and everything
passed off quietly. As to which party
will win, is yet unknown, but it IS gen
orally believed that the citizens party,
voting at Klaine were right.

FEMININE FORTUNES.

Somebody says that the wealth OF
this country is rapidly accumulating in
the hands of women, says a Newport
letter. 1t is certainly q fact that il
>'ewport bears any relation to the rest
of the United States this semi-facetious
statement is true. 1t is almost monot-
onous when the roll is called in the
morning at the Casino and at the
afternoon drive, for it is the roll of
wealth that is called, and one is able
to appreciate here to a certain extent,
as foreigner does, our worship of the
national god. Actually recalling the
experiences of the season thus far, !
can not recollect any other distinguish
ing trait having been mentioned. The
accumulation of wealth among women
here is certainly in its way impressive.
There is Mrs. Gammell, who enjoys, OF
at least we will hope she does, the
national reputation of being the rich
est married woman in the country.
The golden halo which surrounds Miss
Catherine Wolfe is also recognized in
the length and breadth of the land.
These ladies between them represent
at least $30,000,000. Mrs. Paran
Stevens certainly stands for $2,000,-
600. Mrs. William Astor. by the
death of her two brothers, is herself
the mistress of $1,OO0,00O. Miss Flor
ence Lyman has the disposition of ST.
900, 900, and Miss Ellen Mason and her
sister divide several millions between
them. There must also be reckoned
the wealth of Miss Rachel Kennedy
and of Miss Emily Gibbens and her
sister. should have mentioned, even
before these, Mrs Gardiner Brewer, of
whom can tell you nothing new, and
Mrs. Bruen, whose noble estate is on
Bellevue avenue. Here also must be
enumerated Mrs. Edward King, nor
forgotten the little maid Perkins, at
Lawnfield. and Mrs. Eleanor Harts-
horne, her neighbor. In town again
are Mrs. Isaac Bell, Jr., and Mrs.
Duncan Pell, Mrs. Kernochan and Mrs.
Admiral Baldwin, all independently
rich of their husbands estates. Again
are Mrs. E. D. Morgan and Mrs. S. S.
Whiting. These by no means exhaust
the list, but memory halts before the
embarrassment of riches.

A Blushing Chinese Bride.

There was great commotion in the
heart of Chinatown yesterday after
noon. A wedding in high life was on
the tapis, and crowd of 400 or 500
Cinnamon surrounded the home of the
bride, in an endeavor to catch y
glimpse of the lady as she went to
meet the happy man. When the girl
started down the narrow stairs, in
charge of an old woman, the curious
heathens made rush for the door,
way, and when she appeared upon the
sidewalk, with her blushing face hid
behind fan, the excitement became
so intense that the services of the po-
liceman were necessary to clear way
to the carriage. Every face in the
surging crowd was adorned with gen.
erous grin, and chorus of "Ahs"
greeted the rare and radiant maiden
who was about to launch upon the un-
certain sea of matrimony.
The BRIDES dress was of pale blue
hi-long, trimmed with rare old toyah,
while the pantaloons were of six full
widths of yellow sigee. Her hair was
dressed ia Hong Kong, there being
no bangs of any description. Her
charming little feet were half hidden
in bewitching pair of silk slippers
with the heels knocked off. This Wis
ion of loveliness was carefully placed
in closed carriage and driven to the
apartments of the bridegroom, who
was wondering what sort of a compan-
ion his relatives and friends had Sc
lected for him.
There the scenes enacted ON Morri-
son street were repeated as the bride
was hurried up another flight of narrow
stairs and disappeared from view, amid
showers of rice and papers.

How the Blarney Stone is Kissed
[ Baltimore SUM-

Among the Baltimoreans just back
from Europe is the Rev. DR.. J. w. M.
Williams. Speaking of his tour tn Ire
land, he said to reporter: "We went
to Corkand visited the famous Blarney
Castle. I was determined to kiss the
Blarney stone. 1t is attached to the
end of an iron rod extending some dis
tance below the gallery. 1 had two
stout fellows hold me by the heels and
lower me over the gallery. head down.
ward to the stone. In that posture
found my nose very much in the way,
but / finally succeeded in kissing it,
and, on getting on my feet again, sa-
luted a lady of our party, whom ! had q
right to kiss. 1t was then her turn to
kiss the Blarney stone, but she would
not comply with the rule"

Typical Men About Town.

There is another young man OF good
family and considerable wealth who
hourishes here. He usually belongs to
tho Knickerbocker and Union clubs,
dresses with a pronounced affectation
Of everything that is English. wears q
single glass. and is q society man by
profession. / have such a man in mind.
His name seldom gets into the papers,
and he never, by any chance. does any
thing that will bring him before the
public. He has served rs chairman on
the committee of application of both of
his clubs, and he knows the inside his
tory of every prominent family in New
York. His grooms, horses, carriages,
and. indeed, everything but his house,
are English. and, as he was educated
at Oxford, it is difficult to believe that
he is not really an Englishman. He
speaks of the Prince of Wales as ''the
prince" as if there was only one
prince, and he was one of his subjects,
and he knows Burke's "Peerage" by
heart. He drives 4 coach, and refuses
ten invitations where he accepts one.
He prides himself on being asked to the
most exclusive entertainments, and
spends weeks of thought on the six lit
tie dinners that he gives every season.
He gossips pleasantly with women,
reads the prayer-book, and is detested
by every man he knows except his par
asites. His success with fashionable
women is simply amazing. He is thin
and angular. His time is divided up
SO that he walks and drives on the
avenue at = stated hour every day, and
he is altogether what he has always
striven to be-a distinguished society
man. He never goes below Twenty
third street. There are not more than
half dozen such gorgeous beings in
New York.
Another man who is often met is the
younger son of wealthy widow or q
careless father, who is allowed $40, 600
or $15, 900 for pin money, besides the
debts he manages to contract with his
tailor and florist. This specimen very
often gets into the papers, has numer-
Gus intrigues with actresses, considers
himself frightfully wicked specimen
of humanity when he succeeds in lug
ging some woman of the stage off to
supper, and cultivates round shoulders
and wearied. exhausted, and dissi-
pated expression. He drinks absinthe
cocktails, talks continually about wom-
EN-, and passes with the younger men,
bers of his set as an awfuily bad man.
1t is not infrequently the case that
this youth-there are great many of
the kind in New York-imagines HIM
self very much more depraved and
wicked than he really is. His father
usually knows which way the wind is
blowing. and allows the boy to have
his swing. After he has sown his wild
oats the young man not infrequently
settles down into solid, good-natured
and thorough-going business man. He
then affects the blase air of q man who
has seen everything in the world, and
gives fatherly advice to other young
men who are endeavoring to spend
large incomes after the manner which
he affected. The young spendthrifts
are commonly the most agreeable men
in the world. Once in while you will
find one who is puffed up at his own
Importance; but. as rule, he has the
good nature of a high liver.-Neso York

The First Keen Twinge.

AS the season advances, the pains and
aches by which rheumatism makes
itself known, are experienced after
every exposure, 1t is not claimed that
Hoods Sarsaparilla is a specific fol
rheumatism-w doubt if there is, OF
can be, such a remedy. But the thous-
ands benefited by Hoods Sarsaparilla
warrant us in urging others who suffer
from rheumatism to take it before the

matinee crowd OF ner own sex ana re-
tain her reason and her position at the
same time. 1t is quite safe to say that
women will not patronize q matinee
performance where there are lady
ushers, for the simple reason that lady
ushers can not be made to understand
that it is proper and commendable
thing to put up with the little exactions
of their own sex.
This difficulty, may, it is true, be
overcome in time by opening in con-
nection with the theater a school of
ushers on the new lyceum plan. And
there can be little doubt that in the
course of years lady ushers might be
evolved who could carry baskets of
flowers down the center aisle without
contempt, and even fetch ice-water to
ladies who are better looking than
themselves.
But pending the establishment of q
college of ushers the art side of this
question must suffice TO fill the human
heart with Joy. As is well known, at
least one-third of the young women of
America are pining to become theatri-
cal and 10 begin at the bottom of the
ladder. This innovation would furnish
them with the bottom round. Let
them show what they can do in the
aisles before they try to get into the
wings. There is nothing like learning
the whole business. A well-managed
corps of female ushers, selected with
proper reference to their physique,
ought to be a mine of wealth TO a
shrewd manager who can at any mo-
ment'selcct his Pauline or his Juliet
from his fioor-walkers.
