in this place to o strange cause. IL is the
custom for the Italians, when child dies to

up this ipfected candy, that has lain upon
the coffin Of q dilhtheria victim, and devour
it. Three children have died in one family
within week, AMI tbs dfsa'lfu' nalal ly is
spreading.
1t is said that q stop will be put to the
custom of throwing the coffin candy 10 the
streets.

BsY" We 8ever heard or experienced
snch blunders and such carelesspsss MS was
committed by some one IN printing or
experimenting the printing of The tickets
for last Tuesdays election. In the first
place the ticket for Governor and Lieutenant
Governor were smaller than the law de-
manded and had to bo printed over. The
discovery was made barely in time 10 cor
rect the e,rer and distribute the legal tick
cts through the State.
The carelessness and Indifference eyinced
by the State Executive Committee in the
election this year gives rise To grave sus-
picion that their hearts were not very warm
towards the success of the democratic tick ct.
We can't see why the County ticket
at leas', ..s-.- be printed in the Counties
where they arc voted. The Federal, State
and County tickets are ea;b printed on
separate slips for the separate boxes, and
while il may be more convenient to have
the Federal and State tickets printed at the
Capital, under the supervision (?) of the
State Executive Committee, the County
tickets could 10 printed just rs well, jus. rs
cheap, and with as much accuracy, under
the supervision Of the respective County
Committees. The State Committee, or per-
haps the Chairman, came very near causing
about one-half the votes at the primary
election to be thrown out, by deciding Just
on the eve of the election that only a cer-
tain form of ticket should be cast and
counted.

A Holiday Triumph,

heard today Of an original wager
made by a number of Harvard students.
One of them was willing to back him
self to any amount that he could eat
forty griddle cakes within three hours.
The others took him up to the amount
of forty dollars, ard went to certain
restaurant on Newspaper row on Co.
lumbus Day to do the feat. Eighteen
cakes were disposed of at the first sit
ting, then the man went for walk Of
thirty minutes. Upon returning he ate
fifteen more. His stomach then rebelled,
but seven cakes remained to be eaten,
A large crowd had collected by this
time, vastly interested in so unnatural
an experiment. But the Harvard man,
although receiving much good humored
advice, followed his own line Of expert
mentation. The chairs were cleared for
a rush to the street at intervals, and he
finished the seven. two at time, then
three. having eaten the forty in 224
hours. He was living and well when
last heard from. Boston Record.

Brokers Have Fun with a Governor.


1t is barren subject out Of which
Wall street fails to get some fun. Gov.
ernor Flowers opinion that Friday, Oct.
81. was not legal holiday had in it too
much serious meaning not to invite bur-
lesque Raillery came thick and fast
after 1t had fairly started, especially
when 1t seemed to be settled that the
governor had put his foot in it. By
Wednesday night the fun lovers decided
that the governor deserved sympathy on
the ground that he was the only man in
the land who would work Friday. Tele-
grams in this strain multiplied Thurs
day, and when business ended that day
messages enough were put on the wire
to make the day certainly one of labor
for the governors secretary.
Besides kilograms purely sympathetic,
some Of the senders demanded that the
governor stand firm for state sovereignty
against the national decree; others Of
fered recruits to the "corporars guard
of Friday laborers." One Of the senders
expressed the hope that the close of Fri
day would not find the governor "a

The Wind Among the Treetops,

The conductor runs up the loose side

Without awaiting reply the conductor
has gone, and the train labors onward up

the broken rail is repaired, and all is ready
for the toilsome return journey.
Slowly the car Is forced up the winding

plunges into the inky darkness of cut,
now shrinking involuntarily from the

blackness. Occasionally against the starry
pail of the sky wan simmer reveals the
Sierra's snowy shroud, and cold wind
pouring down from those dead heights
and booms In the tall pine tops.
TInnoticed by the men on the car a
rumble, heavier than the murmur Of the
wind, comes down the canyon. A shudder
runs along the heavy steel rails as, with
the roar Of an avalanche, q locomotive
sweeps round the point just ahead.

The One Cent Coin.

Few of the present generation have any
knowledge how the present one cent piece
came into circulation. Prior to the civil
war the coin which represented one cent
weighed exactly half an ounce. There
were plenty in circulation for the popula-
tion of the time, but when the war broke
out it seemed as If coins of all denomina-
tions had been swallowed up. Tokens Of
various kinds were made first of cardboard,
then of metal
A small coin about the size OF the present
one cent piece was produced, having upon
it various devices, such as mot one cent"
"Good enough for defense" "Our country
forever" From 600 to 1000 varieties Of
these tokens were made and issued. As
they were taken to represent cent by ev-
erybody, those who had copper enough on
hand and could make or procure molds or
dies, realized good profit from the MAX
ing and issuing Of these tokens. The size
and weight were convenient, and the
United States government saw that the
people were better pleased with the small
or piece, although comparatively yalueless,
than with the old half ounce coin.
As the Os:ect was tolkeeD the subsidiary
