HANDSOME HELEN GOULD.

She Makes Her Social Debut and Il the
Object of IA Kidnapping Plot.
Miss Helen Gould, eldest daughter of the
multimillionaire Jay Gould. has had an
exciting time recently. She was given n
magnificent coming out reception. and two
or three days later the details became
known of a plan to abduct her. Miss
Gould, however, seems TO be girl of re.
markably strong common sense. and
while she regrets the unpleasant notoriety
of the kidnapping plot she has not permit
ted 1t to disturb her equanmity in any
way.
Miss Gould's reception drew to her
fathers palatial residence, at the corner of
Fifth avenue and Forty seventh street,
New York, most of the wealth and fashion
of the town. Hundreds of electric bulbs
and gas jets lighted up the two spacious
parlors, which, under the manipulation of
the florist and other decorators looked like
averitable bower of beauty. The debutante
stood directly opposite a tall mirror near a
basket of scarlet orchids, and there received
more than 500 friends. She was assisted by
her charming sister-in-law, Mrs. George
Gould Edith Kingdon), once member of
Augustin Days theatrical company.
The more serious event which has caused
Miss Gould to be spoken of recently would
be amusing were il not for the fact that re-
cent occurrences have tended to confirm
the theory that a crank, no matter how
harmless his vagalies may appear, is apt
to develop dangerous symptoms without
the slightest warming
A fellow who calls himself Prince Won
Michaels, seems TO have become imbued
with the idea that Jay Gould, having no
son-in-law, needs one and thai he, Prince
Won Michaels, is the very individual re-
quired. AS Mr.. Gould did not appear to
be able to fully grasp the situation in all

reached was that the '1ife" of starched

Labor Inspectors Capture Thirty
Belgian Glass Blowers Who
Were Under Contract.
They We're to Take Strikers
Places in Pittsburg Glass
Factory.

New YORK, Nov. 1O.-The Ellis ISL
and officials today made all important
detection of crowd of contract labor
ers who were coming to this country to
take the places Of strikers at Pittsburg.
Several days ago Contract Labor In
spector R. d. Layden, of Pittsburg,
telegraphed to the contract labor bureau
that half dozen Belgian glass blowers
had left Antwerp Oct. 20 for this port,
under contract to work at glasS-blow-
ing establishment at Pittsburg. The
men had been engaged to take the
place of strikers and work for less pay.
The steamship Friesland arrived from
Antwerp Wednesday. and it was re-
ported that there were no steerage pas
sengers on board the vessel. The labor
inspectors found Francis Videl, a
former foreman in the Pittsburg gas
works, with the five contract wOrkmen,
in the second cabin. Afterwards labor
inspectors discovered twenty-four more
glass blowers under contract among the
second cabin passengers on the Fries
land. Today the men were taken to
Ellis island and accused of coming here
in violation of the alien contract laws.
They were placed in detention. The
capture of the thirty glass blowers is
considered tile most important that has
been made in long time. If a good
case is made out against the owner of
the glass-blowing factory he will be
tried

CALIFORNIA.
Cleveland Undoubtedly Carries
the Golden State.


SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Nov. 10.-State
returns still come very slowly and in
dicate that the presidential vote will
have narrow margin either way. Six
teen hundred precincts give Harrison
101,7 ,727, Cleveland 104,201, Weaver 49,
933. Five hundred and ninety-nine
precincts are still to be heard
from, mainly from country and
mountain districts. Later re-
turns on congressional candidates
do not change former estimate of three
Republicans, three Democrats and one
fusion of Democrats and.People's party.
Ebert, the nOn-partisan candidate for
mayor of San Francisco, is leading the
six other candidates on unofficial re-
turns. Two proposed amendments to
the state constitution, providing for the
election of United States senator by
direct vote OF the people and an educa-
tional qualification for voters, appear to
have been carried overwhelmingly. The
legislature is still in doubt.
Sufficient returns have been received
from California to show that Cleveland
has carried the state by at least g, 900 plu-
rality. Returns are in from nearly three
fOurthS OF the precincts in the state,
and those give Cleveland plurality of
$50. Nineteen counties, from which less
than half the returns have been re-
ceived, gave Cleveland plurality of
nearly 500 in 1888. The chairman of
the Democratic state committee claims
that Cleveland's plurality will be 4,2O0.
The Republican committee admits that
the stale has gone for Cleveland.
The congressional contest is still in
doubt. Three Democrats and fusionist
democrat and Peoples party), are
elected, and probably three Republic
ans. The Republican committee admits
that the Democrats will have majority
of one or two on joint ballot in the legis-
lature. The Democrats claim major
| ity of from six TO eight.

Democratic committee, says there is no
question but that the Democrats and
Independents will control the legisla-
ture.
There is total vote of SO on joint bal

with six holdovers, make majority

WISCONSIN.
Cleveland and Peck Are Both
Safe.

Safe.
MADISON, Wis, Nov. 10.-1t is an alb
solute impossibiiity to yet give the def
mite results of the election in this state.
Tie counting has not only been slow
to an unparalleled extent, owing to
the size of the ticket, but very
many precincts are remote from rail-
way OF telegraph stations. Even in this
populous portion the full returns are
not in. A portion have not yet come
from the counties of Burnett, Manitou,
Oconto and Oneida and from many
others the reports are unreliable. While
the the latest information some
what reduces the plurality of
Peck, Dem.) for governor, it clear
ly exceeds 5000 and Cleveland will
run 1000 better than he did. Peck's plu-
rality will be the smallest of any DEM
ocratic candidate on the state ticket.
State Treasurer Hummer and Secretary
of State Cunningham ran the best. as
they also did two years ago.
The Democrats have elected IL SEN
ators and the Republicans 4. The Re-
pubicans have but hold-overs and the
Democrats 10. The senate has 81 Dem
ocrats and six Republicans. One dis
trict is in doubt still. and is not IN
cluded in the above compilation. In
the assembly there will be 81
or 55 Democrats and As or 46
Republicans, one district being in
doubt. The Democrats will have ma
jority on joint ballot of twenty-nine,
thus insuring the election of Demo
cratic United States senator in place of
Philetus Sawyer. Late returns do not
change the congressional situation.
