That Iamuany exerted Q decisive
influence II the recent elections Will
admit of Little doubt. Mr.. Whitney
had laid down his ultImstum. which
was That the braves should render
loyal support TO the national ticket,
else no would personally lead move
ment TO wrest the government OF tie
city OF New York from them. They
knew he meant what he said and
therefore the braves worked with q
desperate energy for the ticket. There
vas hardly a precinct IN the great city
but that held fast to the Instructions Of
Tammany. Ii mattered little whether
q man Was native or foreign born a. re-
garded his right 10 vote. IL it was
democrat vote II was received IN spite
OF protest. peaceably II possible, for
cibly If necessary. Prisons and hos
pltsls were made to empty forth voters
to swell the democrat totals. The Sc
crecy of the ballot was outraged upon
any pretext TO enter q democrat ballot.
In the Chatham Square precinct q lu-
dlcrous incident took place, which IL
Illustrates the purpose of the braves to
carry out their end of the compacs
made with Whitney. One of the re-
publican challengers stood IN the
room of the Chatham Square precinct
when TamnlAny heeler brought q
man up to the polling place and said
that the man who had regis
tered was deaf and dumb. The
man was told to hold up his right
hand and swear that he was physically
unable to fold his own ballot. DO you
swear that you are deaf and dumb"
the man was asked. Il do replied
the deaf and dumb man, and after he
had kissed the book he was taken into
the election booth by the Tammany
man, who folded his ticket and
watched him TO see that he voted it,
OF course the election inspectors over
looked the self-evident perjury of the
deaf and dumb man because his vote
was openly shown to be democratic
one. In other precincts frauds Of the
rankest kind were perpetrated. Tam
many by such methods redeemed it's
pledges and is now safely entrenched
in power until another crisis shall arse
TO demand q Test of loyalty.

WHY WOMEN GO TO PIECES.

Why Go women so 60 to pieces after
they are married? IN tell you. 1t 10
simply because their husbands, appar-
entity, have no interest in their appear
ance unless they happen to be looking
unusually bad. They will say: "Great
Scott! what fright you are this morn
ing. What's the matter--is that the
best looking dress you have?"
But they do not say when . pretty
dress has been donned for their espe-
cial benefit:
"Dearie, you are absolutely charm
ing today"
A woman seldom dresses for the
pleasure of admiring herself. She
dresses for the effect on someone else.
Ii she IS married it is for her husband.
Let her discover, or think that her hus-
band does not care, or zee the becom-
ing dress and all the other little fix
ings, and her own interest will very
soon flag, and the gong to- pieces pro-
cess commences. On the contrary, If
she understands that her husband is
noticing every detail of her toilet, or
even the general effect of 1T, the
dainty. feminine, pretty vanities will
continue all her life. Men have some
queer, quite foolish IDEAS. They never
know Just what II is that makes a
woman womsnly. charming, pretty
and fascinating. They get certain
theories into their heads, in one way
and another, about corsets, pretty
shoes and bright colors. and the length

BRAVE MAID OF MARQUETTE.

There are moments when the most
wildly radical champions of the
"Cause of Woman" must stop and
stink back into conservatism and pull
their hats down over their eyes and sit
and think deep, interpretive thoughts
about what this earth IS coming to by
the time that the girls take it all. An
incident in illustration comes fresh
from the filing If land claims yester-
day under . forfeited railroad grant
in Michigan. One determined girl had
made up her mind TO have q large
slice of this terrestrial ball when this
valuable land Was thrown back under
homestead rights. She stood in line
with the men in waiting through 4
stormy night at the land Office; at the
tick OF opportunity and in the nick of
time she rushed in. But, having read
at the woman suffrage bazaars and
other progressive festivals that inspir-
ing motto, "Womau's hour has struck !"
this girl of 81 did not wait for the
mems legal hour of application to
strike, too. She genialiy lodged in
under the policeman's arm, and when
q few moments later the land was for
mally thrown open for application, she

ess on the spot to ten thousand dol
lar piece of her Uncle Sans domain.
The emotions of that policeman as she
dcdged under h,s defending arm of the
law cannot be imagined by any mere
"mortal mind" He dared not en-
brace the opportunity Of seeing if her
land-craze would make this applicant
resist an ofiicer-that is evident at
least. And his cowardice or MS STRAIT
egy, which ever it may have been, ap-
peais strongly to the average man who
has seen an aveage woman on her way
to an average bargsin-counter. And
it was no average bargain this maid of
Marquette was after and got.-Boston

An Eight-Hour Case in Which Letter
Carriers Gain a Point.

An Eight-Hour Case in Which Letter
Carriers Gain a Point.
WASHINGTON, March S-The court of
claims yesterday rendered a decision in
what is known as the letter carriers case,
involving the question of working con-
secutively and extra pay for all work over
eight hours in twenty-four. The conten-
tion of the carriers was that the carriers
were employed six hours day in getting
their letters ready for delivery and deliver
ing them, and four hours a day during in
tervals in distributing letters within the
post Office, and one hour a day In post
Office work after the last carrier service
had been performed.
Equities Favored the Carriers.
The court decides that the postmaster
of Salt Lake City, in the present ambigu-
Gus condition of the relations, had a right
to employ the carriers in distrib-
uting mail matter between their trips, As
to the employment after their days work
as carriers was concluded the court ex-
pressed grave doubt, but the question be-
ing doubtful the necessities of the situa.
tion great, the good faith of the postmas-
ter undisputed, and the equities of the
case strongly in favor of the carriers,.1t is
deemed only right to resolve doubts in ia
vor of the carriers, leaving 1t to the su-
preme court to correct the error, If error
il be.
