HIS LITTLE FORTUNE LOST IN WALL
STREET.-Paul Luchty, a clerk in Ger
man clearinghouse, emigrated to this
country about seven years ago with &c.
600. Some time last winter he put this
money in the hands of New York law
yer to invest for him. The lawyer in-
vested in stocks, and the $4,000 was
swallowed up in the recent depreciation
of values. Luchty began to show signs
of insanity shortly afterward. On July
l he left his home at 968 East One
Hundred and Sixty-first street, New
York, telling his wife that he was going
to try to get work in an iron foundry.
He has not returned, and it is feared
that he has committed suicide.
The PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION Day
The states cid not always vote on the
same day for President. In the campaign
of 1874, which ended in Clay's defeat by
Polk, twelve of the twenty-six states voted
on the first Monday in November, three
on the first Tuesday, three on the second
Monday, and the others at different times,
New Jersey taking two days for the busi-
ness, beginning with the first Tuesday,
Pennsylvania the first Friday and Ohio
the last Friday, and South Carolina not
choosing her electors until the Legisla-
ture met. about the 1st OF December.
The only requirement then was that the
electors should be chosen within the
thirty-four days preceding the first
Wednesday in December, but early in
1916 the present law was passed, which
proyides that the electors shall be chosen
on the Tuesday next after the first Mon
day OF MISUNDERSTANDING Union.
