A Little Story.

There is an amusing little story
going the rounds in the neighbor-
hood of Jeanerette. The story
runs thus: Two former great
champions of white supremacy
and straight Democracy called at
the cabin of a supposed to be in
huential negro at a late hour in
the night. The first rap on the
door was promptly answered, for
Mr.. Niger sleeps very light III

manded influential John. We
will not give the names of the In
truders for fear the big amount of
blue blood which courses their
veins should turn black. The
champions gave their names, at
the mention of which poor intlu-
entail John fell on the floor, ex-
claiming: y, Lord ., Lord
what have | done! What crime
have | committed that | must die
at the hands of dem thart boss re-
gulatorsl The champions soon
forced their way into the room
and after bringing poor John to,
by a few applications of a little
barly corn Juice, soon convinced
Mr.. Africans that their mission
was not a regulative but purely
protective one, provided however
that Mr.. Influential John would
sign the following agreemen
which he did with avidity.
We, tchampions) of the frs
part, do hereby promise and as
sure Mr.. Jno. Africanus and al
other African under his direct po
litical control, all the protection
necessary to go TO the polls ant
deposit their ballots in perfec
safety. Provided that Mr.. Arr
canus and others. of the secon(
part, receive such ballots from tn
champions themselves or from
such persons "a they champions
may designate. The agreomen
was put to a test oil last Tuesda
and all parties to II stuck like lii

A Voting Machine.

A voting machine has been put
in operation in New York which
is said to meet all the require
ments of honest and intelligent
suffrage.
The voting machine, or booth,
is constructed of iron, is about five
feet square and seven feet high.
When voter approaches the en-
trance door through an alley pro-
tected by railing, his name is
announced and is recorded by the
clerk. He enters the boath alone
and is allowed one minute to vote
though he can usually make out
his ballot and deposit it in much
shorter time.
1t is claimed that by the work
ing of the machine it is absolutely
impossible to vote twice or fraud
ulently. The button opposite
any candidates name being push
ed in is ut once locked, as are the
buttons of other candidates for the
Same of office, only the button
pushed registering. The closing
of the exit door unlocks the but
tons, and the booth is ready for
the admission of any voter. The
machine is time and money ga
Yer. After the closing of the polls
only ten minutes were required to
open the back of the machine and
announce the result and register
the total number of votes for each
of the sixty-four candidates, a pro
cess that would usually require
; three hours. By its use the mum
Der Of polling places can be re
duced by half. Fewer INSPECTOR

) penses of the election are materi
ally lessened.
1t is estimated that inside of al

i tional or State election Throughout
the State could be accurately ant
: fully tabulated. Houston Post.

LONDON, Nov. 1S.-The Financial Neius
publishes interviews with Senator Jones,
one of the American delegates to the

ton, while in England, many people are
ignorant OF the rudiments of the matter.
There is hardly an American elector VII o

this subject. Il had most important in

bound to-" The Times afirms that ma
j0riIy of the new House Of Representatives
are opposed TO free coinage. l feel since
that this Is erroneous. On the contrary
there is two-thirds majority in its favor.
1t was among the Democrats of the last
House that the supporters of free coinage
were found. If you trace these men to
their constituencies you will find that they
have been reelected.
Whether free coinoge bill is introduced
by the Democrats and whether IL passes or
not are different matters. MIR. Cleveland
himself is against free coinage 1t is just
q question how far the Democrats will feel

who VIII Care for the wouudsd in the Har-
ward Yale Football Game
Today

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Nov. 1S.-Once in
sevent zen years Harvard has beaten Yale
in the great annual contest at football.
That single time, in 1890, is always known
as he ''Cumnock'i year, for It was TO Cum
mock, Rarvard's greatest player, the
victory was due. The town is filed
with the usual thousands of college men,
graduates, professors. sad great array of
pretty women who, as a rule. take as deep
an interest in these games as their brothers
and sweethearts. Yale at the beginning of
the season had but little hope of putting
strong eleven into the field. Heffelhnger,
McClung, Morrison aud Barbau Of last
years great team HAD graduated, and in
fact Mccormack, Bliss and Hinkey seemed
TO comprise the only good material on hand.
Bull Camp, Heffeltinger. Wallace, Howard
Knapp and dozen others as famous have
come 10 the rescue and have done some re-
markable coaching The critics, and to
many outside the pale that colleges in
6uence seems invincible
Among the players who will face Harv-
ard tomorrow afternoon, the most promi-
nent are: Mccormack, Captain Hinkey,
Wallis, Winter, the Two Bliss boys, But
terworth, q son OF Congressman Butter
worth Of Ohio, Norton, Sanford, Adee and
Hickox. Captain Borne Trafford, of
Harvard, is not so confident today as
earlier ia the season. The game with
Cornell, in which Harvard barely won, is
one cause for the general lack Of spirits,
but many Of the weak points have been
strengthened and much is expected Of
Brewer, Lake and Lee, all splendid
players. Corbett. Gage, Upter, Walters,
Lewis. Blake, Collamore, Foster and Cap
tain Trafford himself are probably all GER
tain to be in the field. Many Princeton
men are in town and will watch Ysle's
game with especial care. as IL will contest
the championship with the blue at Man
haitian field, New York, on Thanksgiving
day.
Hampton park has been much improved
since last year. Instead Of. the $500 addi-
tional seats ranged on each side, room has
been made for 500 spectators at each end.
This is in addition to the regular sccommo-
cations. The prices of admission tomorrow
are for the middle section on the side, 81. so:
the sections next in order $3.50, and the
end stands LOO. As no general admission
tickets are being sold the colleges will net
q sum going deep into the thousands. This
year as last year, the sale to each individ-
ual was limited TO six tickets and just as
in the previous season the spectators have
been able so get hold Of great many seast
and are selling them at double prices.
The Yale team is quertered at the School Of
Christian Workers on Armory hill and the
Harvard men are at Mrs. Gardeners res
taurant. where they have been cared for
for years past. Special trains are coming
into the city hourly bearing Yale and Har-
yard Alumni clubs of various near at hand
cities. The New Haven Athletic associa-
ton also comes in q chartered car.
