the Result DOnbffuI.
FsPEcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DisP ArcHI
HARRISBURG, February 17.-There is
unusual excitement in this city incident to
the election tomorrow, and the vote for
Mayor will probably be the largest ever
cast in Harrisburg. The reelection Of
Mayor Fritchey, Democrat, was considered
certain until the last fewdays, during which
the Republicans have greatly changed the
current, and tonight the prevailing i'm
preston is that the result is doubtful. The
natural Republican majority is about 300,
but Fritchey was chosen three years ago by
about 450 majority.
The Republican candidate for Mayor is
W. Grant Wilson, who is making vigor-
Gus canvass. A. T. Black, Republican, will
likely be reelected to, but he will be badly
cut by his party. William K. Verbeke.
Democrat, will be reelected Controller, but
his majority of over 900, received three
years ago, will be materially reduced.

NEWARK, N. j., February 17.-Early
this evening Officers Long and White found
a handsomely dressed young woman lying
on stepin Commerce street. Newark. She
was apparently drunk and was taken to po-
lice headquarters in patrol wagon. There
it was evident that she was sick and
Police Surgeon Clark was summoned. By an
examination he found that she had either
taken poison with suicidal intent or had
been drugged. She became unconscious and
after two hours of hard work he revived her.
She stated that she was Wilhelmina
Lestring, was 20 years old and had recently
arrived from Carlstadt, Germany. When
she reached Newark in the afternoon she
said she mad 81 900 in money.
At this point in her story she again be-
came unconscious, and at IL o'clock was
still in that state. A search of her person
revealed the fact that the s., 600 was gone.
Chiet Detective Ward and several of his
men are endesvoring to unravel the mystery
surrounding the woman.

President Nimick seemed to set at rest
Yesterday all conjectures regarding whether
or not the National League will have ten or
eight clubs next season. Mr.. Ninick is a
member of the League Schedule Committee
and is, therefore, in a position to talk very
definitely about the matter. Yesterday the
writer questioned Mr.. Nimick very pointedly
on the question by asking:
Are you making out an eight or a ten-club
schedule Mr.. NimickP'
"Now, that is from the shoulder, sure
enough. However, don't hesitate to say that
we are only making up a ten-club schedule.
Mr.. Soden, of Boston; Mr.. SpaIding, of Chicago,
and myself are the committee and we have
never even talked about an eight-club sched-
ule.
HE OUGHT TO KNOW.
'Ithink would know if such thing had been
intended. and I assure YOU never a word has
been said to me other than we are expected TO
make up a schedule to suit all the clubs now in
the National League. [ am about three
fourths through with my schedule, and We
will meet at Cleveland two or three days before
the full meeting and agree upon ten-club
schedule to be submitted to the general meet
ing
in the National League this Year,"
Most decidedly do. or course very strange
things happen nowadays, but II is safe to wager
that we will have ten clubs in our organization
this year at least. We can get a schedule
framed all right, and good one l see no
reason for dropping any from the list. At any
rate we are only making the one schedule and
that would mean that the general intention is
to keep all the clubs
WANTS TO KEEP SECRETS.
81 did not want to talk about the matter, but
I am also desirous of answering plainly any
public question put to me. 1 am really not at
liberty to talk about any features of the sched-
ule other than saying that the opening will be
West versus West and East versus East 1 am
even not at liberty to say when 1 think the
opening day will be, but you newspaper people
doubtless can guess it. Regarding the publish
ing Of our schedule may say that we may do
eide not TO make it public until long alter it
has been adopted. We nave many important
things to discuss at our Cleveland meeting, and
we may surprise lots of people"
President Nimick was evidently talking in
good faith, and it therefore, may be taken for
clubs in the National League. OF course Pres
might be an eight-club schedule made up in
case Of an emergency but Mr.. Nimick knocked
that conf acture entirely to one side. Accord
ing to Mr.. Nimicks statement the old League
schedule will be looked for with an unusual
amount of curiosity, because of the ten club ar
rangement Many very old and experienced
baseball authorities think that good schedule
for ten clubs cannot be made up.

Among subjects treated of at the re-
cent congresses in Paris was that of
the Observance of Sunday as day of
rest. According TO the London Lam
Get, NJ. Leon >ay affirmed that this rest
which several religions rendered obllg-
atory is = Lax OF nature, and con5e-
Guently law of hygiene, the excel
lence of which has long been demon
sirated, although Il Is not to be found
i'll all national codes. The resting on
the seventh day Is Of biblical origin.
and the custom of counting the days
by seven WAS formerly the rule among
the mos: diverse races-in India, a
among the Celts in China, as well as in
Arabia. Now that hygiene has become
a positive science, IL confirms the moral
and material necessity for a temporary
rest on the seventh day.
Several reports were presented to the
congress, and physicians, professors.
philosophers and hygIenIsts are in
accord on this point. All, without
exception, support Tor workers or all
classes and OF ali ages a weekly day OF
rest, which should even lie made obliga
tory. 1t may here be noted that in 1881
this subject was opened 10 competition
by the Swiss government for a prize,
which was awarded TO DR.. Niemeyer,
of Leipzig. The subject was brllli-
antly treated by DIR. Niemeyer, who
observed that the dominical rest is the
first commandment of hygiene, which
should be followed 10 obtain a peaceful
and continued amelIoration of society,
and in this respect it Is as much a IA
tional instition as religious one.

Fena e Life.
Male Life

Years ago one office quoted lower
rates of premium for women then men,
in the belief that all through the female
life was tie best, but their experience
was against their theory and they gave
it up. The special risks being passed,
the woman's life is, however, admitted
TO be tie best. One circumstance
which weighs with the offices in the
distinctions they draw is this, that the
med cal advisers can speak with more
certainty, from various causes 10 what
is or is not a good lie In the case of
men than of women, and this, no
doubt, is taken into consideration in

Lead poisoning having occurred at
Dessau IN 90 cases, a commission was
issued TO discover the cause, which WAS
Immediately traceable TO the water sup
ply. 1t then became necessary to as
certain whether the water was oTigi-
nally poisonous; but it was soon found
to have acquired this quality in the
course of distribution through the lead
service pipes used in the town. EX-
peTiments showed the water to be eX-
tremely soft; and when its hardness
was increased by the addition of finely
powdered limestone, it ceased to cor
rode lead. Further inquiry demon
strated that 1t was not the hardness
that rendered the water inocuous, but
the deprivation, by agitation with the
limestone, of the carbonic acid oTigi-
nally contained in the water, and
which attacked the lead. To perma-
nently cure the evil, an apparatus has
been set up az the water works to mix
automatically a definite quantity of
powdered limestone with certain pro
IortIon of the wafer passed through
the works. The mixture Is then, after
agitation returned to the bulk OF the
supply; and the result is a complete
cure of the mischicf-nOt a single Ca G
of lead poisoning having occurred since
the apparatus was set in regular opera
tinn. The quantity of powdered lime

sau i about 200 cubic centimcterS
