1t Is Likely More Votes WIN Be Polled
Than zt ANY Previous Election.
In Hoboken today the election is the
aIl-absorbing theme. Seldom has there
been a more bitter campaign waged,
but owing TO the thorough organi-
cation and unity Of the Democratic
party it looks as if their entire ticket Will
win.
Votes are falling thick and fast and it
IS thought that more votes will be polled
at this election than at any prev ious one
in the city.
The police were held in reserve at the
station house, but there was no call for
them. Stanton will be elected Mayor by
big plurality, 1t is probable that Pats y
Londrigan viii be second and Tango
man last.

Two bills are now before the Legisla-
ture regarding the early closing of saloons
at night. Bill Nc. 3 in the Senate seeks
to repeal the existing law on the subject
and Bill No. 3 in tie Assembly allows
the present law to remain and reduces
the fine on conviction, making it not ex.
coed $500. The early closing law is a
good one and benefits every com.
munity which observes it. 1t is
an entirely dead letter though in
the middle and southern part of
the State and on that account some
want it repealed. Better let it remain
and reduce the penalty than expunge it
altogether. Each community is its own
judge Of criminal law any way and those
sections which derive benefit from it will
continue to enforce ii and to those who
don't want it, it will remain as it is,a hall

and sagebrush In this retreat she lived
all alone, save a tall glunt razor backed
pig which she called by the endearing
name of Betty. Her visitors were like
angels visits, few AMI far between, save
an occasional appearance cf aome OF the
good and peaceable boys OF Phoebe, who
would call upon her and ask her if she
would not like to become a Sunday
School teacher and instruct the young
idea how to shoot This always had the
effect of stirring up what latent fire
slumbered in her bosom, and her auburn
hair would almost stand on end, as she
gathered up every available missile and
quickly caused scampering from her
domain. For long time these visits
had ceased and she had congratulated
her elf that the boys had become re.
formed or had ined tie hcaycaly band,
wore crowns and played all day long on
harps with a thousand strings.
One night during the cold snap, when
old Boreas was making it lively amongst
the houses with cracks in them, that
number of good boys were congregated
on one OF the corners of the main street
humming sweet little strains from the
hymn book and connecting some more
deviltry that would bring them into
prominence il not the penitentiary, a
visit was proposed to Mrs. Potosa for
the purpose of seeing how the pig pro.
crossed this cold weather. On their
way down they came across building
that was undergoing painting of min.

cabin and finding from the loud snoring
within that they had no fear OF Interrupt

pant of the pen Quickly his hide was
dotted over with the red paint causing
him to present an appearance similar to
a clown in circus.
Early in the morning Mrs. Potosa
went out to feed the pig and lifting the
pail over the fence suddenly espied
Betty who, unconscious of the brilliant
addition to his hide, was quietly sleeping

she dropped the pail and it contents,
"Betty has got the measles or .eprosy,

pronounced it Indignant case and ad.

could ring it in on the restaurant and
