NEW YORK ALL RIGHT.

Nowhere was public interest more con-
centrated yesterday than on the result in
New York city. The announcement of
Mr.. HEwITT's election by such a decided
majority will be grateful news to the
Democracy of the entire country, as it will
bring q feeling of relief to those who
feared the result of Mr.. GEORGES candi-
dacy. 1t was known that GEORGE would
poll heavy vote, and it was expected that
a large proportion of it would be drawn
from the Democratic party. Relying
upon this hope the Republicans made
bold strike to capture the city govern
ment. But this hope has been blasted and
the Empire city of the Union maintains its
place in the Democratic column. The loss
of two or three congressman was the re-
suit of unfortunate nominations and the
failure to look after the congressional dis
tricts in the anxiety to save HEWITT.

San Francisco Chronicle.
The night air was somewhat loaded with
his hiccoughs as he struggled home by day
light up the steep sides of Suffer street.
The cars had begun running, but he would
not take one. He knew that he had missed
the last car long ago, and he could not I'M
derstand that yesterday was over and to-
day had come. To him no cars ran after
1910 o'clock. and it had been 1910 for
hours. These must be some other cars.
He was surprised to meet good many
people coming down town, and in trying to
puzzle out what was up he gradually
reached home. A stray policeman who had
been left out all night heard revolver shot,
and. in defiance of danger, ran. He found
the inebriated gentleman firing through his
own door.
"Hellol Whot are you doing?"
"Thatsh all right. You let me alone"
''What are you shooting at?"
Darn it. can't you see? L can't find the
keyhole of thish door, and Pm shootin' in a
new one. I've got to get my key into this
door somehow"

TRIALS OF A CANDIDATE.

Last night was night of suspense to
MANY an anxious candidate. Only those
who have passed through the trying ordeal
realize the intense strain on the nervous
system of a candidate, produced by a
closely-conteSted political canvass. The
mental anxiety is more wearing on the can
didate than the physical labor of a holly
contested canvass And then the worry
and the vexations Of a campaign, tbs deser-
ton of friends and the betrayalS of friendly
confidence, the slipping up in unexpected
places, the miscarriages of well-matured
plans; all these things tell on the csndi-
date And if he happens to be an indi-
vidusl of plethoric purse he is subjected to
additional annoyanees from the hummer
class, who look upon him as fit victim
for their bleeding processes. Young man,
do not be deceived by the outside glare of
political preferment. There are more
thorns concealed in the rose of Office than
you have ever dreamed OF. If you want
peace of mind, comfortable days and restful
nights. never run for Office. The happiest
people in Minnesota last night were those
who were not candidates at yesterdays
election.

ENTERPRIsING TOURISTS.
During the season just ending Alaska
has been invaded by tourists in larger
numbers than heretofore, who, with one
accord, pronounce the trip through inland
salt water to be the grandeSt of all others in
the country. Among the noted visitor
were Chief Justice Waite, Gov. Hoadly,
Rev. DR.. Schenck. of Philadelphia, ano
many others of national fame, togethei
with their families Such visitation will
continue to increase with the in
creased facilities for land travel, and
with added facilities to the water
route must ere long reach large proper
tons. Now. that the good people of st.
Paul are in swift transit to wealth, which
begets love for pleasure, travel and the
beautiful in adventure. it is to be hoped
that goodly number may partake of the
inspiration and go West" if not to grow
up with the country. to visit these mount
ain islands. and while enroute to and fro,

course to be found on the face of the globe,

a party OF gentlemen at Birmingham
hotel were telling stories one night recently
of famous shots. and how many quails. par
tridges, ducks and other birds had been
killed at single discharge. After listen
ing to what seemed a wilful exaggeration
by different narrators. stranger who was
present volunteered his experience of his
only use of the fatal double barrelled gun
as follows:
O"I went into the field one day to try gun
ming. The only game discovered was an i'm
mense flock of blackbirds. | should say there
were 10, 900 in the flock. Slowly | crawled
up toward toen, and when not more than
four rods away the birds rose in a solid
mass. L fired both barrels. and how mapy
do you think l killed."
Different guesses were made by the party,
ranging from 20 to 100.
Not one," said the stranger, ''but
went out with my brother to look for re-
suits, and we picked up four bushels of
legs. had shot little under"

Portland Oregonian.
A man and his wife, with eight children.
running from babe in arms up to boy OF
IL, crossed OH the transfer boat yesterday
to take the Atlantic express. The children
were chubby healthy and sunburned. The
man said he was going back to Kansas. In
answer to inquiries he said he had been liv-
ing in the state eight years. Some surprise
was expressed by bystanders that man
should wish to return to Kansas after being
so long here and he was asked in what part
of Oregon he had been living. He said at
French Prairie. Good heavenw said a
man. what do you expect to find in Kan
sas better than French Prairie?" ''Why,
that is one of the finest portions OF the
state" said another. You will never be
contented to live in Kansas again" The
man looked a little sheerish and said:
''Well you see my wife's relations live
there. and she kind O. wants to be with
them" That settled the matter.

THE MARVELLOUS CHANGE.

When the GLOBE passed into the hands
of its present management, at the election
held a few months preceding. the state of
Minnesota had given a Republican ma
iority of nearly AZ, 600 in the presidential
election. The city of ST. Paul. at the same
election, had given a Republican majority
of 1, ZOO. and Minneapolis was Republican
by 900. The Republicans had an over
whelming majority i'll the state legislature
and had all the representatives in congress.
That was the political situation less
than two years ago. Since that
time the GLOBE has seen, after
a most brilliant canvass, the Republican
majority of LOO in ST. Paul SUBJ
stituted by a Democratic majority of
5000. 1t has seen the 6.o0o Republican
majority in Minneapolis vanish into moth
ingness, and Democratic mayor ride into
Office on q majority nearly equal to that by
which the opposition had carried the city at
the preceding election. These were mar
Vicious revolutions to occur in so short
q time. And now IL seems that
the leaven which had entsrd into the
politics Of the Twin Cities has
spread until the whole loaf has been
leavened. The GLOBE has continued in a
modest yet earnest way to SOW Democratic
seed. The plain facts and solid arguments
which have been presented through its col
umns have reached the hearts of the people
and have found a lodging place there.
The fruits ars seen in the election returns
which appear in this mornings GLOBE.
The 70. 900 majority of two years ago has
been swept away and the result of yestcr-
DAYS election, if not an actual Democratic
victery, hangs SO evenly in the balance
that the Republicans would be glad to
escape from defeat by hairs breath. A
gain of two, and probably three, congress
men ig added to the DemocrRtic victory, and
a legislature, which, if Republican at all,
will Do so by 80 small margin as to leave
NO room for Republican rejoicing. Such. in

All hail, gallant Dakota. You have done
splendidly in reversing the 90, 900 Republ-
can majority of two years ago and wheeling
into the Democratic column with major
ity of TO- 600. 1t was the best days work
the territory ever did for itself when it
elected the Hno. Fl. Ii. DAY to congress
yesterday. 1t brings the territory into har-
mony with the national administration.

The Oldest shingles in the world.

Danielsonville Conn., Letter,
A few lines about Lorenzo Dow's
durable shingles, published in the
Sun recently, have been the
means of discovering the oldest shingles
in the state-perhaps in the world. They
were removed few days ago from the
steeple of the Unitarian church at Brook
Ign, not far from this place. One of the
first pastors of the church nailed them with
big-headed wrought iron nails to the steeple
in III, and under them Gen. Israel Put
nam often has sat and listened to discourses
rae in those days-giving liberal inter-
pretations of the Scriptures. 1t is stated
also that the shingles were rived by men
who afterward fought with Old Put at
Bunker Hill. The shingles are remark
ably well preserved. Four of them are
displayed in the street window of the News
Office in this village. and above them is a
placard with this reading:
These shingles were in use on the
Unitarian church in Brooklyn lis years.
Just look at the wrought-iron nails"
The nails are fine specimens of old
fashioned, painstaking workmanship. They
are smooth. straight and round. with large,
thin, perfect heads, and are as clean and
bright as the time when they were driven
into the steeple. They would be considered
to-day too valuable to use in any except the
most elaborate and costly work. The
shingles, which are of red cedar, are not at
all decayed. and the unexposed ends clear
and smooth, and they still retain the cleal
reddish tint
