THE PoLYGLoT PETITION.
The polyglot petition has been Endorsed and
signed this year by l,ll2.735 persons The
present prospect is that with the putting down
of all the names thus gained the petition will
be over twelve miles long. Names are coming
in constantly from all parts of the world
NAMES IN THE NEWSPAPERS.
Few forms of hypocrisy are more common
than those words upon the lips Of women. Il
would on no account have my name in the
newspaper and Il recent deiverance from
presidential candidate to the effect that his
brilliant and accomplished wife was ''too
sacred by reason OF her relationship
10 him and TO their little one TO have
her name bruited about before tho public
has set me thinking on this subject.
What is publicity but the knowing by many
that which otherwise but few would know? If
the great bulk of society consisted of enemies
who wished to hide from one ano. her what they
did then all would surely wish never to be
named in newspapers, but if we are APP
preaching some hing like friendliness then
newspaper is simply an open
letter passing from hand to hand and
telling what has happened. II u
woman has accomplished something helpful to
humanity it is just as desirable to have it known
as If a man had accomplished the same. In
deed. 1t Is perhaps even more in these days,
because this knowledge will encourage other
women to lift their hands. perchance now idle,
to some noble and benehcent employment.

ELECTRIC WIRE MEN STRIKE.
1t is Believed That 100 VIII Be "Out" IL
New York Tonight,

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-The long-threatened
strike OF the electric wire men is on. Accord
ing to the resolutions passed last night by the
executive committee instructions were sent out
ordering out all the men in the employ of the
firms which belong to the Electrical Contract
ors Association.
The men were expecting the orders and less
difficulty and time were required to get the men
out. BY 10 o'clock f-ly seventy-five union men
had left the work and the number was rapidly
increasing
BY tonight the executive board expects that
nearly every member of their organization will
have struck and the contractors will have lost
the service of at least 700 men.
The executive committee held meeting at
Clarendon Hall, on East 18th street, this morn
ing to consider the situation. Just what re-
suited from the meeting it was impossible to
learn.
That the conference was not satisfactory as
might have been wished could easily be seen
from the discouraged look which overspread
the faces Of the strikers who were waiting
around after they had talked with their leaders.
The strikes which have so far been ordered
are against c. l.. Eidlitz. 10 West 23d street;
the New York Electrical Equipment Company,
corner Elm and Duane streets: J. p Hall,
Liberty and West streets. and the Tucker Elec-
trical Construction Company.
There are sixteen other firms which belong
to the association and unless their demands are
granted the strikers declare that strikes will be
ordered at once in all of the other firms.

They Are More Hopeful ON Account of the
Registration.
Special Dispatch TO The Evening star
New YoRK, Oct. q, The republican man.
ayers are growing rather more hopeful
as the news Of registration comes in from
the interior Of the state. Advices from
Rochester indicate great gains in republican
registration, as also in many of the republican
cities Of the state. The statesmen who come in
from the interior counties and districts report
that the farmers are going to come out and vote
in full force. met Congressman Wadsworth
today at the Fifth Avenue Hotel and he ex-
pressed the belief that the full republican vote
will come out
How about the Australian ballot and the
farmers?" / asked him
Il don't think We are going TO lose anything
by 1t, he answered. 1.-The farmers have used
this ballot twice and are now pretty familiar
with 1t. Our farmers are intelligent people and
/ think there will be no trouble among them on
this account. l believe they will poll their full
vote"
Then you don't look for any losses by the
new ballot iaw?"
Not on our side. On the contrary, think
the losses will be on the democratic side The
only place where it is likely to cause loss of
votes is among the ignorant people, and that's
where VIC have the advantage Of them"

LONDON, Oct. 2S.-The appeal OF Charley
Mitchell the prize fighter, who on October 7
was sentenced to two months hard labor for
brutally assaulting George Salvage, an aged
lodging house keeper, will be heard in January.
Judge Sir Peter Edlin, before whom the APP
peal will be heard, has gained a reputation for
the severity with which he deals with law
breakers. He recently confirmed with prompt
ness sentence imposed by police magistrate
on the pugilist Pritchard. and this fact
does not augur well for Mitchell. The latters
friends do not seem to hope that the sentence
will be set aside. On the contrary, their only
hope is that Judge Edlin will not impose q
heavier sentence than the one imposed BY
Magistrate Vaughn in the Bow street police
court.
