Gerrymander Overthrown.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. ll.--The In
diana supreme court to-day decided un-
constitutional the apportionment act
passed by the democratic Legislature
two years ago, under the provisions of
which the legislature, which will meet
next month, was chosen. The finding
is that the apportionment laws of 1901,
1885 and 1879 are all unconstitntional
by reason of the matters alleged i'm the
complaint, but the court also finds thai
there is a de facto legislature elected
qualified to enact a law which may
take the place of the law set aside.

IF YOU WANT TO GO

to any point in Michigan, or from any
where in Michigan to any point in the
East, South, or West, you will almost
invariably find the direct route to be
the Michigan Central, whose numerous
branch lines traverse the State in every
direction, and whose great main line is
"The Niagara Falls Route" between
Chicago and Detroit, and New York,
Boston, and the East.
No railroad runs finer or faster trains,
is more solidly constructed and vigilant-
ly operated, so that its time schedules
can de depended upon, and remark
able immunity from serious accident is
secured.
No other road runs directly by and in
full view of Niagara Falls, when Cat
Falls View its day trains stop five
minutes to give passengers the most
comprehensive view of the Falls and
River that is afforded from any single
point.
No other road from the East runs
directly by and in full view of the colos-
sal buildings of the Worlds Columbian
Exposition, and enters Chicago along
the beautiful lake front to its depot,
within few minutes walk or ride of
the principal hotels, and business
houses of the Worlds Fair City.
No other road has finer or more
complete through car system, running
to all points upon its own line and to
points beyond-New York, Boston,
Cincinnati, st. Louis, Duluth, San Fran
cisco.

His Offering.

A Boston newspaper reports an anus
ing scene in an open horse car. The
conductor had collected his fares and re-
turned to his station upon the rear plat
form when one of the passengers left his
seat and took another nearer the front.
The conductor, meantime, was pre-
sumably on the lookout for passengers,
and when his gaze reverted to the car he
saw, as he thought, q new man in one of
the forward seats. He proceeded at once
to collect the fare and tapped the gen.
tleman courteously on the shoulder.
''This is a one cent piece" said the
official.

The New Election Law.

In view of the fact that the corpora
ton and township elections are in the
near future, we deem it proper to call
the attention of the public to the pro-
visions of the new election law, as it is
such a radical departure from the
methods heretofore liz vogue that, with
out a proper understanding of its work
ings, many errors are liable to occur.
The ticket, as most of our people know,
is what is known as the "blanket
ballot"-containinga as many columns OF
names as there are tickets in the field.
An elector wishing to vote straight
Republican ticket will make a cross
X in little square at the head OF the
Republican column with a stamp pro-
vided by the township FOR corporationl
clerk, two of which stamps must be
found in each voting booth. If how
ever, the voter desires to "split" his
ticket, he must stamp the ticket he de-
sires to vote, as before, cross out such
names as he does not wish to vote for
on that ticket and make cross TX
opposite the name of the corresponding
candidate on the other ticket, if he
wishes to vote for him.
At the township election there must
be two voting precincts, as there are
over 500 voters in the township-those
residing i'm a certain portion at one pre-
cinct and the balance at another. This
will of course necessitate two election
boards, two sets of ballot boxes, more
booths, ratings, ETC., as provided by
the law.
The chairman of the board must
count and seal the tickets when print
ed, and they are not to be opened until
the time for opening the polls, when
one of the inspectors will open them.
Each ballot is strictly accounted for, so
that none can be carried from the poll
ing place. The clerk must certify to
the number of unused ballots, and the
number voted and unused must cores
pond with the number printed to prove
that none have been taken from the
booths.
In case of party elections, vignette
must be adopted by each party which
will appear at the head of the respec-
tive tickets, and copy of such vignette
must be filed with the secretary of state
by the state committee, and it cannot
be changed except by the state COM
mittee. In township and corporation
elections it is not necessary to have
vignette.
Township officers and others should
carefully inform themselves of all the
provisions and workings of the law, to
the end that the expressed will of every
elector be recognized and recorded.

Arago's Dilemma.

Arago, the great French scientist,
dreaded nothing more than seeming
ridiculous. He was careful of his dig
nifty even with his most intimate friends
Eugene de Mirecourt give an amusing
account in his Portraits ct Silhouettes
du XIX Steele" of Arago's modification
at having to share room with his
friend, M. Quetelet, director Of the
Brussels observatory.
They were at Louvain. When it ap-
peared that the best accommodations
that could be given them was one room
with two beds Arago seemed much dis
turbed. When they went to the room
he paced the floor impatiently, while the
Belgian astronomer watched him in as
constituent and dared not prepare for
bed.
Finally Arago seemed to form a des-
perate resolution. He exclaimed, II
ought to tell you, my dear friend, that
it is impossible for me to sleep unless /
have on my head
"WhatT"
"a cotton nightcap"
Faith, that is my own habit" replied
M. Quetelet "Many persons cover their
heads so when they go to bed"
"Do you think SOP" said Arago with a
sigh Of relief. "But that is not all.

"Well?"

"Ah, 80 do /. / make as much noise
as a pipe organ" returned the Belgian.
ooh, well, then, that is different"
said Arago, much consoled. "Let us go
to bed"

The swift mare Addie, one of the best
thoroughbred 2-year-old running horses of
last year, was bred at far famed Belle
Meade. Her sire was Iroquois, and her
dam Babee, by Bonnie Scotland. Addie
was the best 2-year-old of her sex that
raced in the west, 70 Tambien excepted,
and won eleven out of her twenty
starts. She was also second five times,
third four times and was unplaced but
once.
She was beaten by Huron and German,
but she also defeated the latter in three
contests. At Memphis Addie captured the
Ivy Leaf and Lassie stakes, and ran five
furlongs in 1;0216 at Garfield park, defeat
ing good field. She now belongs to
Pierre Lorillard.
