"TAe Political Power Of Labor. ("

New York, Nov. 3.-When late
last night it was made known at
the headquarters of the Central
Labor Union that Henry George
was defeated the crowd there as.
sembled gave voice to expressions
of disgust. Henry George came
into the hall at IL o'clock, and,
mounting a table, addressed his
supporters, saying that he felt
prouder than if he held IN his hand
official returns making him Presi.
dent of the United States. Their
devotion to the great cause was
shown, and he felt certain that,
under a fair count of the ballot,
he would be the next mayor of
New York. "If the official returns
do not give me that Office" he
said, ait is because Of the money
and intimidation used, aud of the
rumshops, of State and national
administrations, of an unserupu-
lous press, the unreasonable fear
of the ignorant rich, and the deg.
radiation OF the miserable poor.
What we sought we accomplished
by bringing principle into politics."
He went on to say, "And | con.
gratulate you on the greatest OF
victories that We have won. Thank
God We hayo demonstrated the
political power Of labor. Never
again will the politicians look up
on the labor movement with con,
tempt. You men who have work
ed night and day without a penny
know under what disadvantages
this struggle has been made. You
know what enthusiasm has ena
bled us to do. If this is the be
ginning, what will be tho endi
thank you from the bottom of my
heart, for feel prouder than i
you had gwen me the highest of
flee in the land"

In the smoking ear of a Yves

A Swedish Breakfast.

A newspaper correspondent
who has been travelling in Sweden
writes:
In crossing the gulf OF Finland
the water was rough for a few
hours, and the pitching motion Of
the vessel disturbed the equili.
brlum of all sensitive interiors.
In the morning some Of the fris.
kiest Of our company OF the night
before did not report for coffee at
7:S0 o'clock. | can only say that
they missed some coffee that was
wonderfully good. 1t was served
with an assortment of bread,
sweet biscuit and cakes. This
light refreshment kept one alive
till 10, when those who could pull
themselves together drove into
the little diniAg saloon and had
their regular breakfast.
The most important part Of this
meal-Swedish fashions the

A singular claim was put up by
a voter of Watertown, N. j.. last
Tuesday. Il. Il. Garter, a promi
nent citizen, who voted carly in
the morning, appeared at the poll
later in tho day and desired to
cast a ballot for a candidate for an
Office whom he had omitted vot
ing for. Several put in an objec.
tiou, and Attorney General O'Bri-
en-, who was standing near, was
appealed to. Mr.. O'Brien stated
that a person had a right to cast
his ballot at any time from sunrise
TO sunset on election day, and, II
he wished, might cast a judiciary
ballot at one time and a county
ticket at another. Dir. Garter was
allowed to vote on the ticket
which he had omitted on his first
visit to the polls.-Times Demo

Capital Punishment BY Electricity.
[Electrician.l

EIecIflclan.
There is now being exhibited at
Leipsig an apparatus for putting
criminals to death by electricity.
so long as 1t is found necessary
to retafh capital punishment upon
our statute books it may well be
that the electric method is the
most merciful and least repulsive
process that could be devised for
carrying the sentence into effect.
But ifsuch means are ever adopted
in this country the details will Ger.
tainly not be carried out in the
theatrical manner which com
mends itself to the Leipsig ama.
teur. In this apparatus, behind
the chair in which the condemned
man takes his seat, and by means
of which. as we need not explain
In detail, his body is placed IN cir
cult with powerful coil, there
stands a conventional figure of
Justice with bandsged eyes, hold.
ing the balances in her left hand
and the sword in her riEi'. The
criminal having taken his scat, the
proper functiouary is supposed to
read over the record of his crimes
aud the sentence of the law. This
ceremony completed, he fouls up
the document and places 1t in the
scale pan. the arm Of the balance
desoends, closes the circuit, and
all is over.

BIG BILLIARDS.
Psall, the Champion suos Stroke Player,
Beats the Record.
New York Herald.


London, Nov. 4.-Billiardists
will doubtless be interested in the
progress of the great game now
going on here between Peal and
Collins. On Monday Peall began
match of $1,000 points mp, all in,
with Collins, who was allowed
5000 points start.
Despite the capital form shown
by Collins, Peall, who by his defeat
of Roberts has earned the title of
champion spot stroke player"
gradually gained on his rival,
mainly by means of a remarkable
break, and is now only a little
ovea 100 points in the rear.
Yesterday afternoon he started
from S042, and mopopolized the
attention ofthe onlookers through.
out the remainder or the day, ar.
irving at 1904, when he was still
in position Oh the spot. For near.
ly two years Peall's break Of 1880
made at Cambridge, has stood as
a record, but it was nearly lower
ed twelve months ago when he
put together 1922. Collins did
not have an inning after the in
teryal in the afternoon, and this is
also an unprecedented perform
ance. In the course Of the break,
reaching to 2o02, Peal made 33s
and 800 spots. He resumes to.
day, and great expectations are
excited regarding what no may
! finally make.

Accident TO the Str. Richardson.



Natchez, Nov. T. Last night
when the Richardson was near
Bielar landing, above Natchez, she
struck a hidden obstruction, tear
ing a hole in her hold near her
boilers. She commenced taking
water at a lively rate, but the hole
was finally stopped up and she
started the sypbon pump,and it has
been kept going constantly ever
since the accident. When she
reached Natchez her officers en-
tered a formal protest. She re-

through to New Orleans without
any stoppage. The damage TO her

What Caused MOrrIsOn's Defeat.


Chicago, Nov. A. The Daily
News special attributes Morri
sons defeat mainly to influences
exercised by John Jarrett. of
Pennsylvania, and the knights Of
Labor. The special says: IF the
election had occurred ten days
earlier Morrison would have been
elected. About ten days before
the election, John Jarrett, ex Pres
ident of the Amalgamated Associ-
alton, aud present Secretary of
the American Tin Plate Assoeia
tion, arrived in the district and
put himself in communication with
the leaders of the Knights of
Labor and other workingmen's
organizations. He was amply sup
piled with funds, which he said
had been contributed by the
Workingmen's Tariff Club, of
Pittsburg, aud employed men for
50 a day and all legitimate expen-
ses to work against Morrison.
"Jarrett travelled all over the
district making speeches. He said
that Morrison had defeated q pro.
posed increase Of the duty on tin
plate during the last session OF
Congress, and that at that time he
had threatened to follow him to
his district in the next congres
sional election. Jarrett's pres
ence and methods, the nature oi
which are not fully known, sue
ceeded in turning the labor ele'
ment against the tariff reform

Morrison, but threatened to boy
