THIS YEARS ELECTIONS.
The State Elections 10 be Held this
Year Are Eleven.

The State Elections 10 be Held this
Year Are Eleven
This is an off year, and the Albany Ar
gus has figured the political situation
tbusly:
The current year is notably an "off
year" in general politics. Only eleven
States elect State officers this year. Ken
lucky will hold a general election for
State Treasurer on August s. Elections
in ten other States will take place on No
vember 5. On that day:
Iowa will elect Governor and Lieutenant Gov
ernor.
Maryland will elect Comptroller and Attor-
ney-General.
Massachusetts will elect Governor and State
officers
Mississippi will elect Governor and State off.
GERS.
Nebraska will elect supreme court Judge
and two regents.
New Jersey will elect governor and State off,
GERS.
New York will elect State officers, governor
and lieutenant governor.
Ohio will elect governor and State officers
Pennsylvania will elect State treasurer.
Virginia will elect governor and State officers.
Political interest this year accordingly
is centered in the election of the newly
admitted States, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Washington and Montana, which
are now framing their constitutions, will
elect full state governments and legisla-
lures which will choose eight new United
States Senators. Each new State will
also elect representative in Congress,
except South Dakota, which will elect
two.
The times Of no United States Senators
expire next year, so the election of men,
bers of the Legislature this year is Of in
terest as bearing on national politics only
In cases where members of the Legisla-
ture chosen this year hold office for two
years. The Senate elected in New York
State will vote for a United States Sena-
tor in 1891 to succeed the Hon. William
NJ. Evarts.

Among the signatures upon the Ryan
register yesterday was that of James b.
fancy, proprietor of the Wheeling CIV.
Va.) Register, who is Ell route for Vel
lowstone Park and the Pacific coast,
and is accompanied by Mrs. fancy.
Speaking to GLOBE reporter regard
ing the alleged decline of the natural
gas supply at Wellsburg, Mr.. fancy
said regretfully that the reports were
only too true, and that it had become
necessary to go back to coal for fuel for
all purposes. This was undoubtedly a
calamity to the district, yet there were
hopes that fresh wells might be deyel-
oped that would equal those now ex-
hausted. At present, however,
coal was being almost uni
yersally used. Regarding the
nail industry, of which Wheeling Is the
center in the United States, and which
was severely injured by the innovation
of wire nails some years ago, Mi.
Yaney reports general revival through
out the trade. Nails are now being
made lighter, so that more can be got
into a keg, and the outlook in the nail
trade generally is brighter than has
been the case for some years. The to-
bacco CROP will, it is thought, be heav-
Ter and superior IN quality to the crops
picked during the past three or four
years, and taking all in all the indlca-
lions are general improvement in all
branches of trade during the fall season.

Norwich Special to New York Sun.
A. G. Greene, Of Westminster, is
proud of four-legged chicken. 1t is
well, happy and nimble. The extra
pair of legs are set on the chicken di-
rectly behind the pair that it uses for
everyday work, and they are very con-
venient. Whenever the forward pair of
legs become weary from much running
and scratching, the chick just tits up
on the legs abaft and goes on with its
industry as good as ever. Its capability
for work is limited only by the resources
of Mr.. Greene's garden, and it is the
envy of all two-legged fowls.
LID. Grant. of Mapping, calls public
attention to his pigs. There are half a
dozen of them. and they know more
than all the rest of the pigs in Connecti-
cut. Mr.. Grant was not aware how
smart his pigs were until, having no
ticed that one of his cows gave less
milk than she was wont to do, he i'll
vestigated the mystery. They were
only eight weeks old, but they are long
enough by standing on their hind legs
to milk the cow. which is short, quite
handily. The cow does not mind it.
At Newington the other day black
spider had a curious adventure. The
matron of family lay down on Lounge
and slept. The spider crawled over her.
Along her side he crept, up her cheek.
around to the side Of her head. then he
climbed on the rim of her ear and gazed
down into the aural crater. 1t was a
spacious one and he went in. Then the
lady got up with shrek and bound.
The family ran to her aid. She told
them that something, a fly possibly, was
walking about in her head. They pro-
cured pint of warm soap suds, and
poured most of it down her back, and
some of it into her ear. Thereupon the
black spider rushed out, wet, astOnlshed,
but as lively as ever. He leaped to the
floor and got into his hole in the pad
ding of the lounge.

SONGS OF PRAISE
Ascend to Heaven From Pert and
Grave ChautauQuanS.-


Yesterday was the last Sunday of the
Chautauqua assembly this season at
Mahtomedi. The day was very quiet,
and there were but few services to call
the people from their quiet cottage and
tent life. The chief service of
the day was the morning SER
mon, which was a baccalaureate
address delivered by DR.. Gilbert, of
Indianapolis. Preceding the services,
SCR. WHALE played "Old Hundred" and
"Safe in the Arms of Jesus" Dr. Gil
bert spoke from the words: 10 be
spiritually minded is life and peace" y
PS. viii. 60 People were often mis-
taken on the subject of being spiritu-
ally minded. They placed it on the
same basis with emotiOnalism. That,
he considered, was very Sc
rious mistake. There was less re-
ligion in the emotions than in
the will. The spirit came upon the
earnally-minded and lifted the minds
up. To be spiritually minded is life
and peace, because man when he
reached that state is true man. This
new and higher nature is intended to
control the lower. This spiritual life
gave long life. This life is also good
for mental development. Whena nation
has stagnated spiritually it stagnates
mentally. China was given as great
example. The men who Lad led nations
in great achievements have most always
been Christians. Life at present was
greatly to be desired as the true life
was continually ascending up and up,
until it reached God. its giver. There
was never decline when the meridian
of life had been passed.

THE Lonn-Headed MAN.

There was once a Long-Headed Man
who invented a Household Utensil of
such general Utility, that instead OF
giving it Name setting forth an Intel
ligible idea of its character, he called
it simply Good Thing.
So Proud was he of his Good Thing
that he would not make its Existence
known in the Press. eff People will
not come in and ask for the Good
Thing" he would say. II don't Pro-
pose to go to the Trouble of telling
them about it. Ii People don't know
1t when they see 1t, they must suffer
the Consequences of their Blindness"
When Mortgage was foreclosed on
him little Later. the Successful Bid
der Advertised the Good Thing in sew
eral Papers, and he had difficulty in
employing a sufficient number of Men
to fill the Red Wagons that backed up
at his Door.
The Moral of this Fable is in the pos
