Another Republican member Of the Rhode
ysland Legislature was elected yesterday, and
the number of Republicans in both houses now
reaches SO, As 90 make majority on joint
ballot, and as there is every likelihood that the
Republicans will gain more than two additional
seats it is tolerably certain that the Repub-
lean State officers will be elected, with the
Exception, of course, Of the Attorney -General.

HOW TO GET TO SLEEP.

The suggestion recently made in this column in regard to methods of inducing or promoting sleepiness, has been put to practical test by one constant reader ot The Tribune with most gratifying results. The suggestion was that sleep could be wooed successfully by method of count ing in this fashion 1,2; l, 2, 8; l, 2, 3, All, 9, 3, 4, 5, etc., up to 25. The ex- perimenter relates his experience in the following language: "My plan is not to count rapidly, but to call off mentally one figure with every expiration of breath. A person in good health counts at that rate about twenty minute. Before reaching 25 ip this scale, he must count for about sixteen minutes, as the series mounts up to 325 counted straight ahead But l have found one decided advantage over counting in regular order. That can be done mechanically, without any mental ac- tivity whatever. The other method is not burdensome to the mind, but furnishes just enough material to keep the thoughts off other subjects. often find myself for getting the number at which ought to stop and return to l, whereupon at once begin again where left off and proceed in order. cannot say that this scheme will produce sleep when there is no inclination or impulse in that direction, but when there is even rudlmentary impulse I know it will encourage and increase it. I have tried it good many times since l first read about it in TheTribune, and it has only failed me twice. Often on waking l will remember that was not able to count be- yond or before losing myself in slum- ber I have never yet counted up as far as 2O think IT or IS has been my limit. believe that the author of this sugges- tion has conferred boon on people who are troubled with insomnia, although 1t cannot be expected to work in every case.

Washington Post.) SOME APPALLING CARD ETIQUETTE.

The families of Chief Justice Fuller and Senator Evarts are very thick. It has brought about a remarkable reform in cer- tain social customs. The celebrated writer on etiquette, Mrs. Pussie Sherwood. de- clares with emphasis that in making calls cards should be left for every member of the family. In strict adherence to this rule, when the seven Evarts girls went over to call on the Fullers they had to leave cards of themselves and papa and mamma Evarts for papa and mamma Full CT and the eight Fuller girls, that is:
 plus times plus equals 90.
 Etch time they made call they had to leave ninety on the table, and when the Fuller girls went to see the Evarts family they had to leave ninety cards to do the things in prorer shape.
 Now those girls would die, each and every one of them, rather than to do a single thing which was not chic and re- cherche and au fait and en regle and cafe au lait, especially the Fuller girls, and as they ran back and forth to see each other in their innocent girlish way not less than four times day, the equation stood at the end of month:
 90 times times times 30 equals 21;etO.
 Justice Fuller came here about the list of October, and by the end of the year his dear girls had used over 3O,OOO cards call. ing on the Evarts girls, and not less than 30, 900 more calling on other precious crea- lures, and the house was full of cards. He couldn't pick up book or put down 8 hand without grabbing handful of cards. The honse was carpeted with cards. It is the same way over at Senator Evarts's
 The judge had been drawing his BIO, SOC year in monthly instalments and paying his landlord $1,00O month with com. mendable regularity and cheerfulness But when January came around, and the sta tioner ran in biH of $6UO for printing 6O, ,OOO visiting cards the judge felt appre hensive.
 The stationer had the thing down fine To accommodate the girls he had beer putting the cards up in neat little decks O. ten-just family desks, you see. Then when call was made pack was left fol each member of tileagamiIlY called upon And the Evarts girls had theirs fixed the same way. So convenient, didn't have te break deck.
 The justice carefully brushed his hal that evening. He had thought of buyine new tile as New Years present, but ht put away the notion and gave the old one whirl against the benzine rag. Then ht put it on, washed his hands carefully, gave his mustache twist and went over to Sen ator Evarts's. He looked longingly at |, passing atreet-car, but resolutely bracet himself against the temptation and walked
 The senator and the justice had long confidential talk and parted with cordia grasp of the hand. The next day furni ture van, heavily laden, went from thu Evarts house to the Fuller house, and big two horse dray, loaded to the soup pers, toiled from the justice's to the sena tors. The girls were exchanging cards Now, when they make calls on each other they just bang on the newell post and hol Ter upstairs

Voting by Electricity.

The plan of voting in assemblies
by means of the electric current,
and thus avoiding the time lost in
making divisions, has been before
the French chamber of deputies and
a report on the subject was present.
ed by M. Montant last November
In that report the advisability of
employing a machine which would
indicate not only the total votes
"pour" or "contre' measure that
is to say the "ayes" and "noes"-but
also the number of voluntary ab-
stentions from voting, as distinct
from the number Of absentees. Such
an apparatus has been devised by
M. lie Goaziou. On every desk in
front of a member is placed small
box fitted with two handles, which
the member works when register
ing his vote. The right handle reg
listers his "aye," the left his "no,"
and both moved simultaneously
indicate his abstention from voting.
The results are printed by means of
electromagnetic in a receiver and are
visible at a glance. Provision is
made for a member to recall and
correct his vote during the time al
lowed for the purpose.-London

CAUGHT By Confidence MEN.

CAUGHT BY CONFIDENCE MEN
Amos Bogue, who resides a few
miles from Corvallis, had a rather
aggravating experience at Portland
yesterday morning, says the COrval-
lis Times. The old gentleman is
about sixty years of age and was
returning home from two months
visit among friends in Missouri and
Kansas. At the Portland west
side depot while purchasing ticket
for Corvallis he was accOsted by
a fine looking young man with the
customary "How-do-do," and
asked IL his name was Mr.. Bogue
from near Corvallis. "Yes sir,n
was the reply. The confidence
culprit informed the old gentleman
that he resided there also and men
toned the names of a few of our cIti-
Zens which were familiar to Mr..
Bogue. He then went on with a
that there were some back charges
that had to be paid before the com
pany would deliver it, etc. He
further stated that he had plenty
Of money in his trunk, but that he
could not get at it just then and
that If he would loan him $40 the
money would be paid back as soon
IA he got possession of his baggage
on the train. Just then a third
party stepped up, purporting to be
the baggagemaster, and informed
the schemeI that his baggage was
on the west side train and that if
he expected IL to go the charges
must be paid immediately as the
story looked plausible to Mr.. BOgue
and he paid the money to the bag
gagemaster. The old gentleman
and his new made friends then
entered the smoking ears and took
seats side by side. Various topics
were discussed until the train reach
ed the last stopping place in South
Portland, when the young man eX-
cused himself for "a moment. He
failed to return, and finally Mr..
Bogue asked Co onductor Webster to
show him the baggagemaster. He
was pointed out, but, no, he wasn't.
The old gentleman then began to
think the whole thing was II job to
rob him. The expression on his
face told the conductor that he had
been swindled by sharpers and after
relating his story, Mr.. Webster tel
graphed detectives In Portland to
look out for them. Undoubtedly
they will be caught, as accurate dis
criptions were given and the bag
gagemaster (?) was identified at the
depot and the detectives were shad-
owing him and watching for his pal
as the train pulled out.

A CURIOUS CASE.-There is q
peculiar case at the state peniten-
tiary that is causing considerable at
tention. Yesterday prisoner 10y
the name of Hastings, complained
Of one of his teeth hurting him, and
by request was allowed to go 10 the
prison physician and have the tooth
extracted. He did so, and as soon
as the tooth was pulled he fell
into swoon from which he
has not yet revived. He has
what the doctors call an
epileptic stroke. Yesterday even
ing he had nine very hard fits and
has had several to-day. The prisoner
has heretofore been perfectly sound,
and is n man that is above an aver.
age in physical power and size. He
has been employed at the foundry.
The case is curious one, and it is
rather doubtful whether the prison
er will survive long. He does not
seem to be ut his right mind.
