VERY QUIET WORK.
Nothing Said About an African Mission
any Enterprise.
NeE Ynrk Snn

New YORK sun.
Once In while some interesting project
is carried out liz Africa Of which nothing is
heard until it is far advanced. A year and
half ago number of ladies and gentlemen
In Scotland determined 10 found a new
Lovedale in East Africa. Lovedale is one
OF the most famous of the missionary estab-
llshments and its work has been carried on
Tor nearly fifty years in South Africa.
where many hundreds of the native have
been instructed in various trades. The new
Loyedale was to be started somewhere
north of Mount Kilima-Njaro on the Mas
sal plain, under the equator. Twelve ladies
and gentlemen guaranteed the sum of $780,
coo and DR.. James Stewart, formerly of
Lovedale, was engaged TO go at once to
British East Africa and establish the
mission, which was TO be religious, eduea-
tional. medical and industrial to its OBJ
Jects." Not q word of the project was
oreathed to the newspapers.
ear ago last August DIR. Stewart reached
Zanzibar aud collected a caravan of 273
men. with which he crossed to Mombasa
Tor the inland journey. After careful in
snow mountain. DR.. Stewart selected the
district of KibweZi as the best place for n
central station. 1t is about eighteen days
journey from the coast. has plenty of water
and timber. the people are friendly, and it
ls on the regular caravan route TO Uganda.
DIR. Stewart found that the soil was good, if
not especially rich. The top OF Kilima-
Marc was visible far south on clear morn
fngs. The chief kslundu was informed of
the object of the white men in settling his
country. lie at once said that he and
his people would give the mission every
facility. He probably thought that the
presence Of so many white men would be q
sort of safeguard against the Nasal
who now and then visit this region
on raidng expeditions. DIR. Stewart
bought 800 acres of land, and at
once commenced the erection of SIX
large houses of bungalow type 10 serve as
workshop, store. dispensary ana dwelling
houses. a church was also erected and nu-
merous smaller buildings. About two miles
OF roads and paths were made in and around
the station. Oxen were trained as beasts
OF burden, small gardens were laid out, and
within four months English potatoes, peas.
beets, tomatoes and q considerable variety
Of other European vegetables were raised!
DR.. Stewart is of the opinion that this
district is generally very healthy. and that
European women can enjoy fair health at
the station, which, although under the
equator, is 5000 feet above the level of the
sea. At present the white workers, six in
number. are learning the language, putin &
uD new buildings, and preparing the mis-
sion for its future work. 1t is not known
why the projectors of this enterprise were
so very quiet about ii, but the first ews
that has reached the public concerning it is
contained in DR.. Stewards report showing
the success of the preliminary work.

In the Twenty-ninth Assembly District
all was comparatively quiet in the earlier

The suffers were scared and few at

failed when the door was reached and no

TO run the gauntlet, but it was no go; the

of disgust and despair showed how hopeless

characteristic of the voters in the Forty

The voting in all the precincts in this dis
trie., with the exception of two, proceeded
quietly and regularly. An average of about
twenty votes an hour was cast in the differ
ent polling places.
AT nearly every election booth string of
voters was patiently waiting. Each elector
WAS goed-natured, and smilingly inquired
from his neighbor. "Wnen viii our turn

In the First Precinct six arrests were
made for false registration, one in the See

unmaintained challenges in others.
The Australian call0t seemed generally
mastered, but the folding gave a little
trouble.
There was much apprehension expressed

To Ebonize a Table.

Perhaps you have among your household
possessions a table whose top has become
scratched or stained, so that it is no longer
a pretty ornament for the house. If you
have such a table do not despair of its
beauty, for it can be made quite las good as
new."
To do this. boil together forty parts of
nutgalls and five parts each of rasped log
wood, sulphate of iron aud verdgris with
water. This produces a beautiful ebony
stain.
Apply while warm and then give the
table three coats of acetate of iron. made by
dissolving ten parts of iron filings in sew
enty-five parts of vinegar.
OF all the ebony stains known this gives
the best results. Try 1t.

Balioting Coos Smoothly In the Forfeit
Assembly District.
"How is everything here?" asked a CALL
reporter of the inspectors Of the various
booths in the Fortieth Assembly District.
The answer was invariably Quiet"
Voting proceeded as rapidly and smoothly
as if running on creased wheels.
A feature in the district vote was the
general tendency to vote early but not
often, most of the electors contenting them
selves with casting their legal quota OF bal
lots.
In many precincts over 100 ballots were
cast before 10 o'clock. There was but one
challenge In the Thirteenth Precinct, on the
ground OF non-residence. The district,
which is Republican one, voted the ma
tional ticket straight, but for municipal!
offieers voted strongly for the Non-Par-
tisans. In this District O'Donnell will re-
celve a very small vote. Considerable
money was being spent in behalf Of Louis
a. Philips. Republican nominee for the
Assembly.

In the Tenth Precinct five votes were

In the Fourth Precinct of the Thirty-sev-

fusion at the opening of the polls, but order
was soon restored and voting went along
smoothly.
An amusing incident OF the early hour
was when voter asked for the first dupli-
cate ballot after struggle with the first
ballot which lasted fifteen minutes.

torted: Faith, and what with holdin' me

he got his second ballot, and after another
fifteen minutes deposited his vote in the box.
In this district. as in others, the ten
minute rule was not enforced. One voter in
the Sixth Precinct took thirty nine minutes
to make up his ballot. Three names were
challenged. ElieIt seemed TO be decidedly
in the lead at noon, with O'Donnell second
on the mayoralty ticket. The voters gener-
ally followed out their party preferences on
the national ticket.

of saloon side-doors where their sufferings
could be relieved by the application Of
