Sir: 1t is now eight days since the election and we
have TO definite from several counties in the
Ist and lid Congressional Dltricts There is no ex
cuse ior this except that the Democratic returning
officers are holding back the returns In order thai
they NAV elect the Democratic candidates I'm these dis
trcts There is no question but that Clayton received
majority of from 700 10 1000 votes in the Id
District over Breckenridge. The face Of the returns
as made up finally win no doubt show that Breckn-
ridge has majority Of somewhere from 500 to 800.
This can easily be by showing palpable and
well known frauds by which Clayton was robbed Of
from 200 TO 800 majority. In one township In
Conway County masked stole the ballot box which
contained $50 majority for Clayton. In Woodruff
County he was robbed Of something 500 majority,
and in Monroe and Cleveland OF about the same num-
Der Of votes Arrests have already been made OF
fifteen persons who parties to these frauds and
1t IS the present intention of The Republicans TO have
about 100 more arrested Their examination and trial
will, no doubt disclose great deal that will be Of
assistance In these contests and have no DOUBT that
CLAYTON on a contest Will be enabled to make such
clear showing Of his right to the seat that the
House will seat him without much delay. In the ISL
District matters have not progressed so far as IN the
Id. but from what hay" been able to ascertain up
TO this time, believe featherston has equally as
good a Clayton. Yours truly. -

Culinary Implements for Hotels

A hotel steward who is giving advice for
the purchase Of culinary implements said the
ether day that he knew of no line Of busi-
nessdn which greater abuses have grown up
than this. The firms that manufacture
kitchen goods have long made it practice
to give tip to each cook every time he buys
anything or orders any repairs made. The
consequence Is that the most intense opposi-
ton made to any progressive movement Of
the day is that'which combats all the new
inventions for saving labor or material As
an instance, there is new process for doing
every form Of cooking without the direct ap-
plication of fire, and the especial beauty of
1t, beyond the fact that it cooks perfectly, is
that the roasters, boilers and broilers prac-
tically never wear out. On this account the
invention languishes, except when a bold
proprietor takes the matter out of the cooks
hands and makes his own equipment. But
oven If he does that he will find that cooks
are apt to refuse to work with these modern
tools, and, II they take the situations, will
declare that the machinery will not keep in
order.-New York Sun.

Growth of Life Insurance.

The impetus that has been given to the life
insurance business during the last twenty
years is something remarkable, and that it
has assumed the rank of great profession is
attested by the large number Of "brainy"
men and men Of sterling character who are
engaged in it. So legitimate calling has it
become that the large insurance companies
today are not required to send out loquacious
agents to preach to the people, as of yore, on
the moral aspects of life insurance The
fact that life insurance policy is good
thing for any man of moderate means to hold
is already pretty well established, and the
question of securing one, the more he con-
siders it, forces itself upon every man Of
limited income, who has the welfare of his
family at heart. The only discouraging
thing about it is that there are SO many
thousands of men who either will not provide
for their families in this way or who neglect
doing so until it is too late. To put the
question bluntly: What other hope has
wage Garner of providing something for his
family to live upon after he has passed awaya

Wealth and Bad Breeding.

1t is curious fact that there are men who
combine the wealth of Croesus with the
breeding Of a Hottentot. And it is still
more curious fact that such men, because of
their wealth, and for no other discoverable
reason, are pushed forward into public posi-
tions for which they are wholly untitled, and
upon which they continually bring disgrace.
So much for generalities He is rich, rather
illiterate, and somewhat given to saying

he went to his home he told his mother. who
was properly exasperated to think that her
son should be exposed to such an exhibition
of downright vulgarity.-Bosto Herald.

Successful Feeding of the Sick.

In no one thing does the great value Of
judicious nurse show itself more than
In her successful feeding of the sick. To
show you how much depends upon the
personality of the nurse in questions of
this kind, it may interest you to know
that in certain forms of hysteria we are
compelled to try three or four nurses be-
fore finding one having this peculiar quail.
iication. It is well known to all physi.
clans that certain nurses are always pecu.
liarly successful in this matter, and you
can readily see, therefore, how important
this subject is to each one of you. We
shall not today take up the consideration
of the digestion of food, but will confne
our attention more particularly to the
food management of severe forms of In
which would naturally fall under the OBJ
servation of physician. In most of these
cases the question of nourishment and
consequent maintenance Of vital powers
of the patient is of the greatest import
ance. / may say that quite usually it Is
of more consequence than any one remedy.
and in many serious diseases, as IN un-
complicated typhoid fever, it is practically
the only treatment necessary.
To impress this fact more strongly,
may be permitted to mention a case in
point. About five years ago a healthy.
vigorous young woman sickened with
typhoid fever Of ordinary severity. At no
time during the case was there any com.
plication. She took food with great un.
willingness, and only after persistent urg-
ing. Milk, containing small amount Of
stimulant, was given every two hours.
day and night. She was then in the lat
ter part of the third week of typhoid, just
at the time when there is greatest danger
of death from exhaustion. Her own ply
stefan returned from his summer vacation
and assumed charge of the case. The
same treatment was continued, but she
died suddenly week after. made the
post norton examination, and could find
mo cause for the sudden death. Upon
sclosely questioning the mother, we ascer-
tanned that gradually the small quantities
sof milk had been replaced by beef tea, so
that practically nothing was taken the
last few days Of life but beef tea. Asyo
well know, beef tea is a stimulant and
icontains but minute proportion of
inourishment. It is evident, therefore,
that in this case a valuable life was lost
from failure to recognize this important

: Dreadful Destructive.

DR.. Junemann, an Austrian chemist,
claims to have invented fluid of the most
destructive properties. This fluid, when
brought into contact with the air, after
the explosion of shell in which it has
been contained, is transformed into gas,
which, being heavier than the air, de-
sends to the ground, killing all men and
animals within it's reach, and moreover
destroying iron, bronze and other metals,
as well as setting all infammable things
on fire. So at least the inventor declares
In letter published in one of the Vienna
newspapers, and he adds that as far back
as 1848 he offered his invention to the
Austrian war Office, which, however, de-
clined both then and on a subsequent &C.
casion to make experiments. For this
reason he now gives publicity to his In
vention, as his patriotic feelings do not
allow him to reveal his secret to foreign
governments, - Vienna Cor. London

A. Girl of Nerve.

The way Vassar student with limited
means helps herself through college is thus
told by correspondent: Some of the girls
who come to Vassar are as helpless as babies.
They are the daughters of millionaires, and
never brushed their own hair or sewed but
ton on their boots In their lives. They are
only too glad to have some one do these
things for them, and that is how the poorer
girls make pocket money. Last year pretty,
blue eyed girl came to college, and stated
during the first week that her tuition and
board were paid by kind relative, but
every penny for dress. car fare and the
thousand and one little incidentals she must
earn herself. Soon after her arrival the
following announcement appeared on her
door:
Gloves and shoes neatly mended for 10
cents each.
Breakfast brought up for 10 cents each.
Hair brushed each night for Is cents
week.
Beds made up at 10 cents week.
That little freshman made just $50 the
first year, and that paid all of her expenses
and good part Of her tuition fees.-Boston

He Called q Halt.

At recent wedding in Boston, young
authoress who is still old enough to be mar
ried, in response to some playful taunt,
turned to the little s-year-old son of a friend
standing near: "Franz, DEAR" said the lady,
won't you marry met Do say you'll have
me and I'll write you book every year"
To everybody's surprise the little fellow con-
sidered moment, and then replied: ''There
are plenty of other books to read, and there
are too many men marrying women older
than themselves nowadays" The well bred
murmur of laughter that greeted this sally
was shared by the merry young writer, as
the recent discussion regarding the matri-
monial ventures of two artists had evidently
made an impression on the young man, who
proposed to stop the thing right there. -

Ink for Valuable Documents.

Court records, wills, deeds, historical pa
pers, all valuable writing, should be made
with an ink which not merely deposits a
layer of carbon on the surface Of the paper,
but which also bites into its very substance.

respects with the old atramentum Of the Ro-
mans. Documents written with that fluid,
dare not say how many hundred years ago,
are still black and distinct. There is no law,
