FRAUDULENT or ITS FACE.


ANY one can see AT a glance that the Democratic

that the votes Of political parties smaller in of

an election as a genuine and one Of II, committees
has therefore been investigating the election Of last
fall in this district and Michael f. Collins, right 10
his seat, Collins being thc Democrat who received the
certificate Of election. The evidence Of fraud was
overwhelming. one instance is an example of an.
This example can be found IN the returns from the
sixth Ward Of Troy. These returns give Rogers The
Kcpublcan candidate for senator, only twenty five
votes In that ward, while Collins the Democratic can

SIN votes What disclose the fraud j., that The other
RcpubHcan candidates in that ward received 3Os vote,
except King. for supreme Court JUDGE who received
only 100 votes. But Kings low vote was accounted
for by the fact that at Burdens iron works which are
In the district, special effort was made for F. l.
Fursman, his Democratic opponent counsel for Mr.
Burden. The fact that Roger, received more than
twenty I'VE votes was proved by the fact that 125
men, residents OF inc "aro, swore that they voted
for Rogers. The contrast between the vote Mr. Rogers
awarded and that given to other Republican can.

The Thread Leads to Fortune.

Ever since the police put stop to fan
tan and other gambling in Chinatown
there have been wailing and gnashing of
teeth among the poverty stricken Chi
nese sports, The most ingenious of all the
tricks yet introduced is as follows:
The fan-tan shops are now all upon the
top floors of Chinese tenement houses,
instead of down stairs, as formerly, a
bright string is tied upon the knob of the
door leading into the tan shop long
enough to reach to the bottom of the
several floors; piece of kindling wood
is fastened at the end, upon which is
written in small Chinese characters this
interesting information: "If you want
a fortune quickly, please follow the
string"
There are always 50 many poor China.
men in New York who "want a fortune
quickly" that lots of them follow these
strings, and the places are always crowd.

A Born Mathematician.

A curious character in southwestern
Maine is George S. Mcintyre, whose ap.
petite for mathematics and poetry has
given him a reputation more than local.
He is over go years old and has always
led hand-to-mouth existence, his re-
markable proficiency in the branches
mentioned never having proved of any
particular value to him. His taste for
figures was reused when he was a boy
by the gift of an old algebra. He mas
tered this without assistance, and since
then has never been able to satisfy his
greed for mathematics, the most abstruse
branches proving no obstacle to his
strange mental requirement. His fond
ness for poetry is also marked, and he
recites at random from Shakespeare,
Milton, Byron and Whittier At present
Mcintyre lives in a Biddeford garret,
subsisting on the scraps which charita-
BILE acquaintances give him.-New York

CandyinR Fruit.

The candying of fruit, whole or cut,
is carried on at Genoa and westward
along the French Riviera, as we'll as in
Spain and Portugal; but Leghorn may
be considered to occupy the first place
in Italy, and perhaps on the Mediterra-
mean, in the preparation of candied cit
ron and orange peel. The citron is
bought for the purpose from Corsica,
Sicily, Calabria and other southern prov
inces of Italy, as well as from Tunis,
Tripoh and Morocco, and the candied
peel is exported to England, Germany
and North America. The Corsican cit
rons are the best; then follow those of
southern Italy, the African fruit taking
the third place. The oranges used nearly
all come from the islands of Sardinia,
Corsica and Sicily. Every requisite to
the industry comes from abroad. Egypt
furnishes the sugar, England the fuel,
and distant provinces of Italy the wood
for the boxes in which the product is
exported. The province of Leghorn
contributes nothing but the labor.--Once
a Week.

Ericsson's Monitor.

John Ericsson, the great engineer, in a
confidential letter, written March %,
1856, said: "The great importance OF
what l call the subaquatic system OF
naval warfare strongly presented itself
to my mind in 1926; yet have not dur
ing this long interval communicated my
ideas to single person, excepting EN-
poror Napoleon III. What knew twelve
years ago, he knows, with regard to the
general result of my labors, but the de.
tails remain secret with me. The
Monitor of 1856 was the visible part OF
my system, and its grand features were
excluded from its published drawings
and descriptions" Among Ericsson's
papers were found, after his death, a
series of autograph pencil drawings,
showing these concealed features of his
monitor system as originally conceived
They represent the ideas of subaquatic
attack first presented in the Destroyer in
1878, after being withheld from the pub
lie gaze by their author for half a cen,
tury.-Scribner.

DIR. Talmage's Congregation

Talmage breaches not alone to the
5000 souls who are to fill the grand new
tabernacle that is now rising over the
ashes of the old one, but to the four cor
ners of the earth. His words are trans
lated into all tongues, and appear in
Scandinavia in Swedish and in Spain in
Spanish as they are in English in Eng
land. They are not infrequently met
with in Chinese, in Japanese, in Turkish
and in Hindoostanee as we'll. The late
Henry Grady computed that each of his
sermons in all lands has circulation of
30,000,000. But even at the most con.
servative estimate possible it is beyond
all cavil and dispute that every Sunday

Rapid Doubling.

A physician of New York, at a little
gathering there recently, told of one of
the first professional calls made 10y fel-
low practitioner. He was sent for by a
rich but avaricious man who had dislo-
Gated his jaw. The young surgeon
promptly put the member in place.
"What is your bill, DOCTOR" asked the
patient.
"Fifty dollars, sir"
"Great heavens!" And the man opened
his mouth so wide as to dislocate his jaw
a second time. The physician again put
things to rights.
"What did you say your bill was?"
again asked the patient
81 said it was fifty dollars; now it is
one hundred"
The man grumbled, but paid it.-Phil-

from Egypt, and bearing II fragment in
Greek letters.
Mr.. Pratt was impelled to begin his col
lection by the general ignorance of the
origin of the Bible and the way it came
down to us, among the people, as re-
vealed by his Sunday school class. So
he started to form collection of manu-
scripts and volumes that should illus
trate each successive form which the
holy books have taken from the begin
ming until the present day, the various
kinds of material on which it has been
inscribed or printed, and the languages
which it has passed through. What il
has cost him he has no precise notion,
but the closest guess that can be made
would not place its total cost at less than
$1,000. Boston Advertiser.

The MEN WHO DO NOT LEI.

The world is sympathetic. The statement none
can doubt:
When AS in trouble don't we think that should
help him out?
of course we haven't time ourselves TO care for
any one,
But yet hope that other folks win see that il is
done.
We want the grief and penury of earth to be re-
lieved
We'd have the battles grandly fought, the victo
res achieved.
We do not care to take the lead and stand the
brush and brunt.
At lifting we're failure, but we're splendid on
the grunt
And there are others, so we find, as on our way
we jog,
Who want to do their lifting on the small end of
the log.
They do a lot of blowing, and they strive to make
it known
That were there no one else to help, they'd lift it
all clone.
II talking were effective there are scores and scores
of men
Who'd move mountain off its base and move II
back again.
But a class, to state it plain. in language true
and blunt,
They're worth cent to lift, for all they dc
is grunt

The fortune of celebrated gypsy has
Just been awarded TO young girl who
claimed to be his daughter, and who now
has as her own exclusive property, an
estate worth 81 100000 The name of
the dead millionaire was Blythe, and the
following account of his remarkable
career shows how strange and exciting
was his life with its usual happenings, its
remarkable ups and downs: Blythe was a
gypsy. His name was Gordon. His
great grandfather was Jean Gordon, con-
nected with the Meg MerriIes of Walter
SCOTS novel, and he was descendant of
John Young, famed in Ayrshire as a
highwayman. In 1882 Blythe was one
of gang of men who captured whals
ing bark of HObartOwn. They took
possession of the boat and made
their way to Valparaiso. Blythe
and five associates were captured by
a British gunboat and sentenced to Nor
folk island. He escaped and made his
way TO San Francisco where he took the
name of Blythe. He then took up his
abode among the miners and won small
fortune at cards. which he invested in
real estate. The venture proved a sue
cess, and his money rolled rapidly up
During the trial Of the cause through
which the property was awarded, nine
teen claimants appeared before the court,
many of them representatives of we'll
known English and Scotch families. yet
it is said that it was necessary to guard
the girl TO protect her from attempts up
on her life, which were feard. Such is
the desire for money that respectable
people claimed untruthfully relationship
with him and threatened his daughter.
