Among the curious discoveries in connection
with the recent census Of England is the extraordi-
nary superiority Of the number of women to that
of men. The excess of the former over the latter
amounts to more than $4,000, fve-sixths OF
which is composed of widows, On the other
hand the number of widowers is remarkably
small From this it would appear that women
survive matrimony far better than men, fact
which will be readily understood and appreciated
in its true light by all longSufering patient and
enduring benedicts.

The Baot-Reform law on its second trial
worked smoothly and easily. 1t is evident that
the voters have become accustomed to it, and
the objections to it on the score of completely
and the difficulty of voting under it havo been
cffcctually dispelled. OF course paster ballots
were largely used by the voters of Tammany
Hall; this feature of the present law was special
~ designed TO prevent citizens Of that class from
ENJOYING really secret ballot. When the
blanket ballot is incorporated into the law, the
operation of the latter will be still further sim
pifed, and the essential feature of secrecy will
be definitely secured.

pressing their admiration only in quiet tones.

o'clock, but a large number of the delegates

take seats neal the stage and that the spec
fators move to the rear. The suggestion was

fore as this day n most impartial duty. 1t will

The reading of the name of j. L. Boyd as
proxy for @. h. Coggeshall of the Fourth
ward, was received with applause. 1t was
whispered that the change was made for the
purpose OF having ex-Governer Boyd nomi-
nate Ogden for mayor.
A Seventh ward delegate objected to any
proxies, but the names as read by the secce-
rotary were ordered accepted.
A motion TO make the temporary organiza-
tion permanent was the first sign Of impend-
ing battle.
Gallagher put the question and declared it
carried, but Birkhauser stormed and pro-
tested, and Peter Elsasser declared by all
the gods that such a ruling didn't go.n
Birkhauser nominated Il. j. Lowry and a
call of wards was demanded on the vote.
1t resulted, Switzler 33, Lowry 80, the latter
gentleman declining to vote. Tho announce
ment was received with loud yells and wild
applause.
A motion to adjourn until 5 O'Clock was
buried with a tnunderous hoop, and tho
nomination of city officers was declared In
order.
They Made Much Noise.
Ex-Governor Boyd secured a recognition
and In n short speech placed in nomination
for mayor Charles II. Ogden, declaring that
the people wanted good government no mat
ter by whom administered. The mention of
Ogden's namo was the signal for tumultuous
applause.
p. w. Birkhauser followed with a re fer.
ence to German day, aud presented the name
of Henry Osthoff. A howl went up from the
supporters of the Fifth ward councilman.

mitted by the Third ward.

Sailors Affection for a Buoy

The red buoy bobbing up and down
two miles westward has become almost
as much endeared to the crew of the
South Shoal lightship as if it were a
human companion. A man rarely
comes up from below without casting a
look over the bulwarks TO see if the
buoy is still there. Fog is dreaded,
not only because it throws pail over
the sea and because the dismal tolling
of the bell adds to the depression
aboard, but also because it hides the
buoy from sight; and as the fog re
cedes, all eyes auxiously scan the hori
zon until the bonny buoy looms up out
of the mist. AS the ship swings
around good deal with wind and tide,
the buoy marks fixed point of the
compass for the crew, and thus the
men have grown to regard it with a
feeling of affectionate reliance. When
that buoy parts and drifts away, as it
sometimes does, the crew seem as de.
pressed as If they had lost their only
friend in the world. Gustav Kobbe in
Century.
