pared with the numerous contests i'm the

of intended contests have been made to the
clerk of the house: Campbell, republican

official ma jority is 81 votes Kidd. demo-
crat against Steele, republican. eleventh
district Of Indiana: Steeles returned plu-
rality. "a votes. Page, democrat, against
Pearce. republican. second district of Rhode
Island; Pearce's seat is contested on the
ground of the unconstitutional dsfranchise-
ment of citizens in the Rhode Island laws
Hurd. democrat, against Romeis. republi-
can, tenth district of Ohio; the official plu-
rality of Romeis is 239, but Hurd expects to
prove mistakes and frauds sufficient to over
come it and give him his seat. The seat of
Henlen. democrat, first district of Califor-
MIA. is said to he contested by the Alaska
Fur Seal Company, to which Mr.. Henley
has made himself obnoxious: but the next
house is not body in which this company
is likely TO get much favor or encourage

will be notice of one OF two more contests.

Besides this. however, many millions of
dollars have been expended in building new

alone in five years has been 1898 miles.
The smallest increase of any state

and South Carolina comes next in smallness
with 1876 miles. Virginia shows an increase
of 794 miles which is exceeded by only two
states, Texas and Arkansas.

yard, and, by passing the hand three
times from head to foot over the grave,
collect the dew that lies on the grave
of the last young person who was bur
led in the yard. If the victim of the

the dew Immediately to the wen, and a

The charm for curing nosebleed is a
curious one. If person is subject to
nosebleed he may effect cure by going
to person Of the opposite sex and re-
questing him or her to purchase piece
of lace, such as may be specified, for
the person making the request. When
the lace is brought the person must
take it and neither pay for it nor return
thanks for it. He must make a neck
tie out of the lace and wear it for nine
DAYS, and he will never have the nose
bleed again. If the person is too mod
est or gallant to get the lace in that
wav let him catch toad. kill il and
wear it around his neck in bag until
it sickens him. His nose will never
bleed again. If person has cramps
in the legs or feet at night he has but
to place his stockings i'll shape

the shoes under the cOverlid at the

RICH MEMS WIVES.

The big society people are not all the
big millionaires. In fact the princes Of
fiuanoe do not enter society at all, and
their representation in the social circle Is
feeble at best. The very rich families
keep in sthe background in fact, if they
indeed do not gradually gravitate into
retirement,
The only one of the Ynnderbilts who
cuts any brilliant social figure is Mrs.
Ere 1erick Vanderbilt. She is gay and
enioya the world.
"She incurred the displeosure of old
man, BILL" said prominent New York
society man TO reporter, "for being
much older than Fred when she married
him. But she controls and guides her
young husband aid keeps him out OF
the scrapes tho other boys have got
into"
Then there's q division in the
familyP"
80 far as Mrs, Fred is concerned.
The old man doesn't like her and she
doesn't like the old man, and neither is
backward in showing it,
"She takes charge of her husband, you
say?"
"Yes, and manages all his money for
him. The result is, he is tho only one o.,
the Vanderbilts who hasn't been played
for a sucker in Wall street"
"She must be smart woman?"
"Ste is-you bet ON it.
Then why does the old man dislike
helP"
Because she's smarter than he Is him

dore's wife was much older than he, and
that she led him to fortune. Billy oh.

"But most OF the milliounires trace
their success back to the wives of the
founders of their houses, don't theY?'
mo, they don't if they can help it, but
it's true all the same. The commodore's
wife showed him how to make money
and save it, sixpenoe at time, before be

was simply the agent of his wife, who
had the business tact of the firm. The
millionaires were made rich by theiI
wives, and in every instance they were
older than their husbands.
