The Southern Girl.

Boston RECORD.
A correspondent who knows her sends
to the Record the following estimate of the
Southern girl as a sort of postscript to the
paragraph about her in last weeks woman'S
column:
The Southern girl is more frivolous
minded than her Northern sister; she cares
more for beauX and ribbons, dance and a
laugh. She loves the sunshine and stroll In
the park with no definite end in view, eX-
cept perhaps a smile and bow from the
young men of her acquaintance. She is
generally interested in some church work
and has a class in Sunday school.
OF clubs she knows nothing, and she
lives in blissful ig orance of Brown
ing and Shelley societies. She
is well up in social etiquette, military dis
plays delight her Utmost heart. and she is
always ready to don her most becoming
gown to do honor to any parade, certain
that she will completely fill the eye of some
martial mind. The Southern girl is very
fond Of frolc and is possessed of even
greater adaptability than her friends OF the
North. She is devoted TO fashion papers,
and models her clothing by New York
styles. Family traditions play an import
ant part in her life. She dotes on the thea
tiers or shows of any kind. and is as naive
rs child in her expressions of delight at
spectacular beauties. She has a passion
for flowers and she loves the Open-air. She
is practical being, too, and in this genera
ton is usually a good housekeeper as well
as an accomplished member Of society.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-The election in this
city and throughout Cook county was
quietly conducted, and the vote polled was
a fairly large one. The feature of interest
in the canvass was the advent OF the
United Labor party, which brought to its
support very largely the sympathlzers with
socialism. The new party IN the Strong
Democratic wards divided the vote very
evenly with the Democrats, while III the
strong Republican wards the Republicans
and Democrats held their own with very
few labor votes. The indications at IL
o'clock tonight are that the Republican
ticket has majority in both the city ana

publican judges. The Republicans reflect

Mitchell a representative in both the house

Rep, and Halliton, DEM, candidates for
the house, is so close that no reliable esti-
mate can be made on the meager returns at
hand. The comfy ticket is close, and
there was so much cutting and scratching
that the result can not be known before to-
morrow.

by About the Usual Majority.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 2.-The weather
to-day was clear and warm, but neverthe-
less comparatively light vote was cast
throughout Nebraska. This was particu-
larly the case in Omaha, where not over
5000 votes were polled. The Republican
state ticket, headed by Gen. John NJ.
Thayer, has been elected by over 25. 900
majority. James Laird. present member
of congress from the Second district, and
q. W. E. Dorsey. congressman from the
Third district. both Republicans, have
been reelected. John McShane, Demo
crat, receives, according to last estimates
at this hour, a majority of between
1000 and $500 in this (Douglas) county.
In Lancaster county, however, Church
Howe, Republican, made strong run. No
definite reports have yet been received
from other counties of this district The
lace between Howe and McShane is so close
that it will be several days before the re-
suit can be definitely known. This district
is usually Republican by $500 majority.
People generally throughout the state hold
their preference for United States senator,
which was for Van Wyck, there being no
opposition. At this hour the indications
are that the legislative delegation elected
from this county are Van Wyck men, and
it is believed that Van Wyck has major
ity of members of the legislature.
The Republican state ticket is elected by
over %, 600 majority. congressman James
Laird, Second district, and G. w. Z.
Dorsey, Third district. are reelected.
Church Howe Republican candidate for
congress in this. the First district. is prob
ably defeated by John A. McShane. of
Omaha. the Democratic nominee. who will
carry this county (DouglasS) by from $500
to 1000 majority. This will elect him.
Reports from Cass county show that Howe
is being badly left in that county. The
only counties in which he has shown his
party strength are Lancaster and Nemaha,
i'll which he lives. and Pawpee.

j. +. Phillips, DEM, and that the Democrats
have carried Kansas City. One entire
ward In st. Louis, the Third. and AZ scat

will be elected by from 900 to 800 majority.
Glover's majority two years ago was 100.
Not enough returns have come in from the
Eighth district to indicate the result. but
the general impression is that John j.
O'Neil, present incumbent, will be re-
elected.
KANSAS CITY, Nov. 3.-Midnight-Late
returns are more favorable to Warner for
congress, and his election seems almost be-
yond doubt. He has $50 majority in his
own ward and 80 in that of Phillips, while
the county ticket is in doubt. The returns
from the city thus far favor the Republicans.
