Smithfeld street from THE DISPATCH of
fee.
Sought the Best and Got It. -
They were the earliest returns in the city
and the most accurate. Smithfcld street at
this point presented an extraordinary
appearance from the time the first bulletin
was shown till far into the night The
crowd stretched two-thirds of a
block each way on Smithfeld
street and as far up Diamond street as
glimpse could be had of the bulletins. The
first news that was displayed was a stray
straw from New York City in favor OF
Cleveland. 1t was the keynote for all that
followed. Naturally this did not please
there were enough Democrats to raise a
healthy cheer even then.
The Republicans had their noisiest in
nings when their victory in West Virginia
was posted up. As the situation developed
the Democrats apparently increased in
number, but it was very good-natured
crowd anyhow, and whatever the morsel of
news chanced to be the tin-horn and the
the lusty yell saluted it impartially. The
only intoxication that amounted to any,
thing was political
Very Few Cases of Drunkenness.
In the course of three or four hours
wanderings among the crowds the only case
of drunkenness noted involved boy of 16
or IL, who had grown melancholy over sur
reptitious cups But there was no need for
jig-water to keep the dance going. The
most enthusiastic took horn, it is true,
but twas of tin. No accurate statistics of
the horn industry were obtainable, but

STRENGTH OF A BIRDS WING
The Smaller Travellers AresOften Carried on
the Back of the Old.


the Back of the Old.
Brooklyn Eagle.1
The muscles OF birds wing are particu-
larly strong in proportion to the weight Of
its body. As rule, small birds that have
come very far across the sea have been
blown over the water during violent gales,
and many of them arrive on land in halt
dead condition. One reason for the fact
that in fair weather small and weak birds
make long journeys successfully over con-
siderable tracts of ocean is that they are
carried on the backs of the larger ones.
When passing the autumn in Crete
writer asserts that he distinctly heard the
twittering of small birds when hocks Of
sand cranes we're passing overhead on their
way to southern shores. On another occa-
sion, when firing a gun, he saw three small
birds rise from the flock and disappear
again among the cranes A native priest
assured him that they came over from
Europe with him, while it has been found
that small birds, never before seen in cer-
tain parts, have been brought thither at
times of migration.
Another cause is that small birds do not
make their journeys in one flight. They
generally rest during the day, searching for
food, and thus proceed to their destination
by easy stages.

Congressman Dalzell sat at the head of the
Republican table with . worried look on
his face. His fingers twitched nervously
as the reports from the county came in
slowly. 81 wish had my money on you,
Dalzell, instead of New York, said Andy

| stood she chatting good-naturedly.
Around the table were Chairman Gripp,
Secretary George Miller, Chief BigeIow,
Senator Neeb, Senator Finn, c. L. Magee
other leaders. Chairman Gripp read
the returns, and they didn't give
the crowd much comfort. Somebody
early in the evening asked for news from
Alabama c. L. Magee Joined in the laugh
that followed. Then he left the room, and
was gone for several hours. Later Chief
Bigelow suggested that they telegraph to
Montgomery for information. This pro-
duced another smile. Senator Neeb won
dered if C. L. Magee had left to dodge the
sally. The crowd needed something to
keep up their spirits, and still the reports
from Allegheny county were coming in
slowly.
EARLY in the evening several election
boards called up the fire alarm Office for in
structions about counting the vote This
was an indication that the work would be
tedious, and little definite could be ex-
pected before midnight. Chairman Gripp
was afraid that votes would be thrown out
through bIunders made in the marking. He
said owing to the number of additional
precincts in some wards it would be difficult
to figure on the result until the returns
were in. Certainly nothing could be done
by way of comparison.
The Democrats occupied the room to the
right of the fire alarm office. They were
very enthusiastic. A. F. Keating seemed
to be the leading spirit About 10 o'clock
G. L. Magee thought Cleveland would have
a majority of over 100, 900 in New York and
Brooklyn.

TENNYSON's TENDER HEART
Two Instances Cited That Do Great Honor
to the Dead Poet.


to the Dead Poet
Chicago Post.1
A man who was for several years gar
dener and coachman for Tennvson, Martin
Donovan by name, and living in Philadel-
phia now, relates two instances of the poets
tender-heartedness. Once Donovan's wrist
was badly cut with sickle by fellow
workman, and Tennyson gave the case his
personal attention and bound up the wound
with his own hands On another occasion
several reporters tried to interview the poet
during his morning walk, but without sue
cess. Tennyson had peculiar aversion for
talking with entire strangers.
Suddenly one of the scribes fell into a
pool of water. The great master of verse
turned at once, and insisted that the young
man go back to the house and remain in bed
until dry clothing be procured for him.
This programme was carried out, Tennyson
himself accompanying the reporter in the
carriage, driven by Donovan, which con-
veyed him to the railway station. But any
question put with view to publication of
the answer Tennyson absolutely declined
even to notice.

FLAGS INAPPRoPRIATELY BLENDED.
The Colors of France and Russia Printed
on the Same Cloth.

The Colors of France and Russia Printed
on the Same Cloth.
It is perhaps good thing for the world
that France should remain a republic, but
it is decidedly bad thing for humanity
that she should do so at the expense of all
that has made her glorious in the eyes Of
the nations A Paris correspondent to
Free Russia writes:
ga feature of this year will be the dis
play of the new Franco-Russisn flag, which
has been named The Cronstadt.' The
colors of France and Russia are printed on
the same piece of cloth, and according to
the NsaCs correspondent, the flags are sold
in the shops with the warranty that the
colors will last forever, like the friendship
of the two nations"
All of which means that the country
whose earth-shaking revolution gave in
spiration and courage to the oppressed of
every cline now clasps hands with a power
so enamored of free institutions that is
wiped Poland out of the map of Europe,
helped Austria to defeat the rising hopes
of Hungarian independence, and still
earlier sent its legions under Suvoroff to
stifle the newborn French republic in its
very cradle.

The Vote by Precincts in
Pittsburg and Allegheny
City in Detail.
QUEERED Blythe NEW LAW
Election officers Find Considerable
Difficulty in Counting.
RETURNS COME IN VERY SLOWLY.
County Chairman Gripp Kept Eusy An
swering Inquiries,
BUT THE VOTERS LIKE THE NEW SYSTEM

The election in the two cities and as much
of the country as has been heard from pass
ed off as quietly as was consistent with the
very lively interest manifested. It was
evident soon after the polls closed that the
returns would be very slow coming in. The
Baker ballot law worked all right as far as
the voting itself was concerned, the
voters generally expressing their
approval of the new system; but when it
came to counting things didn't go SO
smoothly. Chairman Gripp was kept at
the telephone all the evening answering
the inquiries of election officers who were
puzzled about their duties under the new
law. The returns, as a result. didn't begin
to come in, in many cases. till after mid
night, and the accompanying list for that
reason lacks completion:

if 250, 900 people were down town last night
it would be moderate estimate to say that
one half OF them augmented their ability
for noise with funnel of the highly pro-
tected metal. One tin horn of awful sonor-
ity, that required four men to carry it, was
IL feet long aud feet wide at the muzzle,
Nor was the horn the only instrument of
torture freely used. There were whistles
of piercing shrillness, and curious imita-
tions of cow-bells, and horse fddles, and
rattles and pan-pipes and nondescript In
yentions of fearful power. One ardent Re-
publican minstrel circulated where he was
allowed with gigantic French horn wound
around his body. Before the crowds be-
came too dense a good many small bows
with drums threw in rattlety bang and
boonl-ta-ra-rum.
A Solid Mass of People.
From the steps of the First National
Bank a fair idea of the crowds on Fifth
avenue could be gained As far as one
could see up the avenue there was black
plain of people, rising into ridges on the
mounds of earth left by the conduit layers
along the northern sidewalk. The electric
lights flashed upon countless tin horns,
that sprouted like some strange vegetable
in the black soil

colured boys. held high carnival all bv
themselves on Virgin alley, dancing around
big bonfire which they kept burning all
the evening near the Cherry alley corner
Democrats Masqueraded in Triumph.
After the Democrats were dead certain
that they had won the day they put on all
sorts of wildly triumphant masquerading
attire, and singly, in squads and regiments
marched up and down the streets.
Some fitted paper roosters over
their hats, others armed themselves
with brooms, and the miniature fowl came
out in force as an emblem of victory. A
corps of enthusiasts, about 30 strong, with
roosters for headgear, and bearing billiard
cues for wands OF Office created sensation
downtown.
So it went on for hours, the roar of the
excited populace ebbing and flowing, but
never dying away entirely. A burst of
cheers now meant that our grand old COM
monwealth was at least true TO her gods, and
now that some far Western State had
slipped away from its old-time moorings.
The night will live in the memories of
those Who spent it in the heart of the city
as an unexpected climax of noise and e1.
citement in strangely quiet campaign.

Something About Arcturus.

There are other suns in space that are in.

which is known to be a sun for a far-way
