TO MARK A BALLOT.
AN INTERESTING OBJECT LESSON
FOR THE VOTER.

Plain Directions as to the Proper Method
of Marking the New oRiciaI Ballot in
order to Vote IA Straight Party Ticket
or to Split the Ticket
Elsewhere in this paper will be found
facsimile of the new form Of ballot that
will be used ON Nov s, marked in accord
Rnce with the recent opinion of Attorney
General Hensel ON this point, Ii should be
noted that the names that appear in this
sample ballot are not those Of the candidates
to be voted for, the names having been
filled in at random to give the appearance
of the real ballot,
A little study of the form will show thai
the new ballot is not nearly so intricate
and formidable us it appears at first sight
To vote a straight party ticket, with
out any scratching, the voter marks
his ticket as follows: Beginning with the
presidential electors he marks a cross in
the small square at the right of the name
Of the party, and this answers for the
entire group down to the first heavy black
line, including the congressman at large
and judges Of the supreme court. Where
straight vote is cast no crosses should be
marked opposite the individual candidates
in group. The next group is that headed

How Two Painters became Acquainted.

How Two Painters became Acquainted.
When in HARLEM, Vandyke called
upon Frank Halls, and without making
himself known said that he was anxious
to have his portrait painted, but as he
was in great hurry he could spare but
two hours, at the end of which the por-
trait must be done. Halls went to work
and finished it, and Vandyke was much
pleased. But portrait painting seemed
a very little thing, said Vandyke, and
he asked Halls to change places with
him Halls did so, and as Vandyke fin
ished his work Halls hugged him enthu-
siastically, saying: "You are Yandyke.
No one but he can do what you have
DONE And so the two great masters
became acquainted.-Harper' Young

KNOCKED OUT ny A NEGRO.
A Young California DnrIkey Settles La
Blanche, tho Marine, in Three Rounds.

Los Angeles, CAL, Feb. 10.-Five
hundred people witnessed fight at the
Pastime Club last night, between james
Lawson, colored, lightweight champion
of Australia, and Conley of Boston,
which resulted in q victory for the
former in the seventh round, as his OPP
ponent quit.
The event was preceded by sensa-
tional challenge by George La Blanche.
the Marine, who agreed to knock out all
corners in four rounds for purse of $25.
The challenge was accepted by Child,
a 175-pound negro of this city. He
knocked the Marine out in the third
round. The latter's friends say he has
been drinking the past few weeks.
Child did most of the work at the
start and floored the Marine twice in
the first round. In the next round he
did some hard work, but the negro had
slightly the best of it. Gaining courage,
the negro rushed in the third, landing
heavily wherever he pleased, knocking
the Marine down four times. Terrific
sledge-hammer blows behind the ear
and on the jaws caused the Marine to
be counted out, and he was dragged
from the ring helpless.

Statements from the New York Produce
Exchange in Regard to Our Grain Ship

Statements from the New York Produce
Exchange in Regard to Our Grain Ship
inents.
William E. Ferguson, of the New
York Produce Exchange, says the
American Shipbui1dor of Thursday last,
gives the following in his annual report
for 1891, of the grain shipments from
the port of New York, and also CLASH
fication of the foreign slips carrying the
grain freight:
"There was shipped from New York,
during 1891, IS, 223, 528 bushels of Ameri-
can grain to feed the hungry mouths of
Europe. Not included in this were
250,377 bushels of buckwheat, which
appears in the statistlgs for the first time,
buclSwheat never having been exported
before in any quantity. There were
45, 70s 1856 bushels Of wheat, 1881 ,572
bushels of corn, 4,401,513 of rye,
2,707, 773 Of oats, f,943, 019, of barley and
2,13S,966 Of faxseed. This 68, 483, 905
bushels of grain was carried in 1928
steamers and 10 sailing Ships British,
8 Italian, 4 Austrian and Norwegian
which, among them, loaded 600,704
bushels.
"Of the 1888 ship loads only 25 were
carried under the American flag There
were only four American steamers left
in the grain carrying trade. They are
the old passenger steamers of the late
American line, which used to run from
Philadelphia under the control of the
Pennsylvania railroad. These four
