CLEVELAND IS PRESIDENT.
NEW YORK THE PIVOTAL
STATE.
WISCONSIN IN DOUBT.

The times were out of joint yesterday
for the Republicans in the Presidential
race, and the result is the success of
Cleveland and Stevenson in the elect
oral college, The rout of the Harrison
and Reid forces was unlocked for and
has no doubt surprised the country.
What to charge the defeat to is hard
to determine; perhaps the nearest to
a proper solution of the question is the
disposition among the American peo.
pie for change, no matter how pros
porous the country may be under the
administration in power. An analysis
of the vote cannot be given this morn
ing, several Of tie states being in
doubt.
So far as Wisconsin is concerned the
state seems close and doubtful, al
though The Sentinel claims the cleo
ton of the Republican state and Ma
tional ticket by 5000 majority.

GETTING HIS MONEYS WORTH.
Ben Wright Got Ready Call to Re-
peat Dat Order Quick.


Ben Wright, who died the other day,
was the most companionable man
| ever met. The oyster house which
he opened, at the corner OF Brattle
and Court street, for years was a
Boston institution.
l remember going into Wright's one
night a dozen years ago. Seated at
the table next to me were four news
boys, accompanied by two girls who
sold papers. The waiter refused to
serve them
whats the trouble my little menu"
said Ben Wright, who overheard the
conversation.
"Why, this ere duffer says he won't
give us dat what we wants.
"What do you want. my boy?"
81 want great big stew, with plenty
OF oysters and six spoons"
Wright said "all right" quietly gave
the order and whenit was ready served
the boy with a big stew, a large plate
OF crackers and a platter of pickles.
The six spoons were there.
The stew was passed around, the
spokesman seeing that each had his
or her share, in fewmoments it had
entirely disappeared. The leader of
the party then walked up to the desk
and said: "How much stuff, Ben? I
tell you dat was cracky.''
"Never mind the stuff, my boy; have
the stew with me. !" said Wright kind
ly.
<<sDon't want no stuf?r'
"No, my boy"

No one laughed heartier OF enjoyed
the r=tort more than honest Ben

Southern Women.

The women OF the South are yet in
that transition stage which must
come between earnest inquiry and in
terest ard the full acceptance of the
new methods and opportunities for
women. They are naturally anxious
to know OF their increased privileges,
and to see the open doors, but there
is no aggressiveness. On the con-
trary, the typical Southern women,
active and capable, always prefers to
feel and to have the world believe
that the men OF the family are the
leaders, fully able to take care Of all
affairs save those in the home. She
may in truth work herself to death,
and take all sorts of shifts and turns
in private, but this is her creed, in
herited from grandmothers' grand
mothers OF the long ago. She believes
as old Uncle Harvey on the planta-
ton puts.it, ode head ur de family
ought ter allus hab some money in
his pocket"
The progress OF development in the
woman's world therefore lies much in
social lines literary clubs, art clubs,
afternoon teas, etc. No explosive
questions are proposed; the tend OF
thought follows a mental current with
no underhow OF reform in any way;
questions. OF art, OF literature, OF
travel are all discussed at the delight
ful afternoon fortnightlies, held in the
different parlors, with astonishing
clearness and closeness. One might
venture to say that the greatest
readers and deepest students are usu-
ally found among women away from
the centres. They Get from reading
what their sisters in the whirl gain by
absorption. Harper's Bazaar.
