THE LACK OF THOROUGH VOTING
Congressional and Amendment Bal
lots Evidently Neglected.

The result of the election count in this
State shows a heavy loss OF vote by the
| Congressional candidates and for the
amendments and State loan.
| The total Presiden tial vote was "a. I56
aud the returns show that the entire Con
gressional vote in both districts was hut
80, 81, "A falling of from the Presidential
vote OF $3.50 While this is surprising in
itself, the vote on the other questions
was very far below that for Congressman,
that for Article Nine being but 33,44.
which was 1921 less than the vote for
President.
Article 10 Jared even worse, the total
vote being but 20, 76S, falling OIL OF "A,
9SS votes. The vote on the state House
loan was little larger than that cast for
Article 10, yet IL was only 32, Cos, or ~, l4o
less than the Presidential vote.
The voters, OF course. neglected to mark
the Congressional part OF the ballot, and
those parts which were intended for the
expression OF opinion on the amendments
and State loan.
The count shows that 2,432 less ballots
were thrown for the two Republican can
didates for congressman than for the Re-
publican Presidential candidate, and ,457
less for the two Democratic Congressional
nominees than for the Democratic nomi-
nee for President.
III tuc CitN VI INV 10 tho
first district, the Republican Congress
ional candidate runs 662 behind the Re
publican candidate for President, and
the Democratic nominee for Congress
runs $50 behind the Democratic Presi-
Dental nominee, while the total Con-
gressional vote of the city is ,l53 less
than the total Presidential vote.
In Pawtucket, which is in the I'd dis
trict, Mr.. Capron lacks l62 votes OF as
many as Mr.. Harrison received. and Mr..
Page fell 300 short of Mr.. Cleveland's
vote, while the local Presidential vote
exceeds the total vote for Congressman
by 459.
Even in Newport, in the lst district,
Mr.. Bulls home, he polled % less votes
than MIR. Harrison, while Mr.. Cleveland's
vote exceeded that of Mr.. Lapham 161,
and the total vote for Congressman was
l13 less than the total for President.
In Woonsocket, in the second district,
the other city Of the State. Mr. Capron
received 75 less votes than Mr.. Harrison,
and Mr.. Page l0l less than Mr. Cleveland
while the local Presidential vote exceed
ed the total Congressional vote by ia
The same conditions prevail In the
towns throughout the state, making the
the grand total of nearly 1000 by which
the Congressional vote failed TO keep pace
with the Presidential balloting.
Hosts of defective ballots are reported
from all over the State, and on all OF the
sections of the ticket, but the town of
Lincoln seems to have beaten the record
with report of over 1000 ballots defec-
tive on the amendment part OF the ticket.

DIDN'T COMMIT SUICIDE.
Mr.. Appleton's Family Indignant About
the Statement

Mr. AppIetOns Famiiy Indignant About
the Statement
The family of the late G.. III. Appleton
deny that he committed suicide by taking
laundanum at the Narragansett Hote!.
Mr.. Appleton has suffered from rheu-
matism for many hears, and always used
laudanum both internally and externally
Tuesday morning his son received a
letter stating that his father was ill with
infammatory rheumatism aud could not
reach home as expected.
Mr. Appleton came to PROVIDENCE
and found the door of his fathers room
locke. He looked over the transom and
saw his father sitting in a chair.
He found that he was uncon scious and
three physicians could not resto re him to
consciousness
Mr. Il. X. Appleton, son OF the deceased,
was seen this forenoon by reporter in
Boston aud he could not emphasize suf-
ficiently his positive denial of the truth
Of the report that his father had taken
his own life.
He said "Of late years my father has
been a great sufferer from occasional at
tacks Of acute rheumatism, and he has
found such relief when attacked by this
disease in rubbing his limbs with fauda-
nun that it had grown to be his only
remedy. The report that he committed
suicide is absolutely false"

Rineers Col. Pope has done great deal
in the line Of creating sentiment in favor
of good roads and is the special friend of
bicyclists and bicycle manufacturers, OF
whom he is one of the best known. To
some local bicyclists the above named
scheme looks like very costly one, but
they say some better government control
Of roads should be obtained; presumably
through the State governments. Rhode
Island has already taken steps in that di-
rection by the appointment of State
Road Commission. which is now engaged
in examining the condition of the roads
with a view to suggesting improvements.

THE WONDER OF ALASKA.
A Wall OF Blue Ice n Mile Long and -Four
Hundred Feet High.

hundred Feet High.
The Muir glacier, which is the great
wonder of Alaska, was doubtless dis
covered by Vancouver in 1904, but Prof.
John Muir was the first TO describe it,
Muir inlet, at the head Of the Glacier
bay, Is the termination of this great
river of ice" The wall of blue ice is
there a mile long and about 400 feet
high.
1t Is worn into towers, castles and
caverns, and is continually discharging
fragments from the size Of n paving
stone to that of Cologne cathedral.
These falling into the sea cast up the
spray for hundreds of feet into the air,
and send forth waves which dash upon
the shores and echo like thunder among
the mountains.
The Muir glacier is really sea Of ice,
with numerous branches In the valley,
any one of which is as large rs the
Gomar of Aletsoh glacier of Switzer-
land.
1t is, according to Mr.. S. P. Baldwin,
recent visitor, as large as all the AL
pine glaciers in one, being 1,2oO square
miles in area. The ice is 1000 feet
thick at tho mouth in Muir inlet, and
the glacier is estimated to comprise as
much water as Lake Erie.
It discharges 77,OOO,OOO,OOO cubic feet
of Ice as icebergs, and l75,OO0,oOo 900
feet of water by melting every year.
Tho center of the glacier, where the
motion is quickest, is SO rough and
broken into crevasses that II is consid-
cred impossible. The eastern half,
however, can be travelled as far Us the
neve.
Prof. Wright has found the motion at
the center to be as much as 65 feet q
day, whereas that of the Alpine glaciers
Is only 93 inches or so. AS much as 90
feet day has been found in the case
of a Greenland glacier. The Muir
glacier once extended much further into
the bay, and is now receding every year,
while the sources of tho Ice supply are
failing.

MuRpERous INSANITY.

Illusions of Touch and Smell Which
Prompt the Sufferer TO Take Lifo.
The incipient parsnoiac may hear
voices about him and for time be able
TO convince himself Of their unreality.
But sooner or later these sounds become
SO tangible that they have the full force
and import of actual voices At first he
hears them only when people are actu-
ally speaking, his mind merely misin-
terproting what he hears This perver-
sion Is technically termed an illusion.
But at last he hears words and sentences
when no real sound comes 10 his ears,
the North American Review says.
These are true hallucinations. Perver-
sions Of other senses usually prscede or
follow this one. Illusions Of touch and
smell are common. The former lead to
belief In invisible spirits that touch
the body, and the latter convince the
patient that attempts are being made to
poison him with noxious gases. When
70 this cluster Of perverted sensations
hallucinations Of sight are added, the
galaxy Is complete, and the victim
moves and has his being In an ideal
world peopled with odors, tastes, sounds,
and sights that are shut out from the
common herd. A patient who had
reached this stage outlines his own feel
ings as follows: II have gradually come
70 a positive assurance that the thoughts
Of my mind are shared by others, and
that they act from that knowledge with
view of influencing me and directing
my actions; that the appearances Of an
innate nature also correspond TO my
thoughts in such way as to check and
direct them; that ordinary speech and
language are so perverted as to have q
double meaning, the secondary sense
relating to my actions or thoughts. AL

Tho Queer Fate Of m Inquisitive Pct
Beaver.
A tame beaver kept by the soldiers ut
fort in Wyoming became quite famous
for his sagacity. Caught while young
and perfectly tanned, he became very
docile and great favorite ut the fort.
The little fellow could never be cured
OF his instinct TO build dams, and II Is
related that he once undertook 10 dam
the Platte river, working for months all
night long, and returning 10 the fort
every morning at sunrise. He cut down
quite number Of trees, but life proved
too short for the completion of his
plans. While around the fort he was
constantly turning over every kind Of
vessel that contained water and collect
ing sticks TO head II off as II flowed
away. One night by oversight the
beaver was locked up in the warehouse,
and during the night, In nosing around,
he discovered ten-gallon can Of mo-
lasses that had been left uncovered.
Thai discovery proved his doom. Tho
next day he was found gasping for life,
having been caught IN the sticky mass
% the oan was overturned. He never
recovered from the shock, and was ton
deriy buried In the presenoe OF largo
circle of his friends.

GovrpNoR PATrIsoN, of Pennsylvania,
has assumed the executive and Juoicia'
mowers of that state for the past ten DAYS
A disagreement arose between the EN-
ployes of the steel works at Homestead
aud the propuetors in regard TO wages
The men said If they could not have what
hey demanded the mills should not be
operated by anybody, The sheriff was
appealed to- but he could not rally force
sufficient to place the owners in charge oil
heir property. The sheriff then appealed
TO the governor on Tuesday, July o, for aid
10 enforce the law, but bis eXcellency de-
alined TO interfere until Sunday evening,
Iulv 10. assigning several foolish reasons
for the delay. In fact, he asserted the
right to sit in judgment on the merits ol
the case, thus robbing the judiciary OF
what Law fully belonged to it.. The duty
of an executive is to net promptly when
he IS called upon, preserve the peace and
protect owners in the peaceful possession
of their property. The merits OF III" case
should be looked after by the courts, The
strikers had the right to decline to accept
he scale of wages rendered them, but nc
right to interfere with the property
Hence there was but one side to the ques'
ton so far as the governor was concerned
md that was TO call out the militia and
let the proprlctors resume their work. Il
is shame and disgrace to the nation
that an organized band OF laborers are per
,nitted to commit such unlawful acts and
20 unpublished. If the time has arrived
that capitalists are compelled to consult
laborers in order TO get their consent tc
carry on trade, the laws might as well be
stricken from the books. We hope thai
the affairs at Homestead will be settled
lawfully and perhaps it may have Ten
dency to place a check upon men organ
;s;n, 10 commit unlawful acts
