Tuesdays Election at New York.
Special Correspondents of The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. Nov. g. 1893
The SNOWFALL gets bigger and bigger the
longer 1t is rolled. What was felt all
through the election to be a hopeful con-
test and what by 8 O'Clock was seen to be
obviously a victory is now proven to have
been revolution. 1t has formed the che
topic or conversation ever since tie polls
closed and will probably stand as an epoch
In the political history u the country.
The damage to the machines is serious, IL
not fatal We have certainly scotched the
snake and one more good thump would
doubtless finish II. There Is .iismay i'm all
the organizations" The Independent is so
numerous and 30 vigorous that the execu-
tive committees and the captains Ct election
precincts and all the drill sergeancs and file
closers almost despair Of the republic
In all this business one silent caure was
the secret official ballot. How the machine
ever came to allow this reform TO slip
mysteries. Where the law is carried Cut
with anything like decsnry. as IL is in most
instances. II makes the voter absolutely in
dependent of his master. Of course he can
promise to vote any desired or required
ticket but, as matter OF fact, he can vote
just as he pleases. And. of course the sort
or man who sells his vote Tor g. mere or
less. Is not the most reliable sort Of a per
son. even after he has given his promise In
return for cash. i had occasion Tuesday to
notice the anxiety with which the Tam
many captains followed their more ignorant
voters to the threshold OF The ballot box
Once there they could 20 no further; and
the wistfuness with which the lost Peri
gazed beyond the barred gates of Paradise
was nothing to be compared with the dis
tress and sadness Of soul with which these
potentates watched their followers cjsap-
pear into the booths and suhseo uently de-
post a closed ballot. so prepared that no
mortal man could tell what 1is on IL
In the assembly district, where / voted
the registration was $500. Last Year in a
little larger registration the democratic as
semblyman was elected BY a majority OF
l.l0O. This year the candidate of the Good

by the republican org an!kasion, was elected
by majority Of 1.S00. a change CT rearly

10000 This IL a fair sample OF what took
place all over town. In some of the cleo
ton precincts, polling $50 or 200 votes May
nard got only a dozen or twenty votes Ard
yet, in such precincts. as in Others the rank
and file issued from those little closets and
deposited their folded ballots as serenely as
if they had followed orders and voted

4 Cure for NerpOus HeodooJc.

Slip OFF your bodice and bare you
neck. Twist your hair into a loose knot
on the top of your head. Then taxi a
sponge and a basin of hot water-just
as hot as you can bear it. Pass the hot
wet sponge slowly and steadily over the
face and forehead for eight or ten min
utes. keeping the sponge as hot as 1t can
be borne. by that time your face will
look and feel as If 1t were parboiled.
But do not worry.
Then battle the back of the recK as
you have done the face, carrying the
sponge each time well up the back of the
head.
Keep this up for some length of time:
then. without looking at yourself in the
glass-because hat would be sure to dis
quiet you-dry your face and neck softly
and go and lie down fiat on your back.
Close your eyes ard think just of one
thing-how heavy you are on the couch
and how easily it supports you. That is
really an important part of the cure.
Lie there for half IN hour. IL you don't
fall asleep. as you probably will. Then
get up and take the deferred look in the
glass. That tired look has gone, the
muscles have regained their tone, the
wrinkles hav disappeared. You look
like your younger sister. Best of all, the
parting pain in the head and the pes
simism of the soul have left you.

DEATH IN THE EXPLOSION.
Wall Shattered by a Poiler and
-Four People Killed.
Windows BROKEN and Pedestraips
Knocked Down In the street.

SPOKANE, Wash. oct. Ca terrible
explosion shook the city late last night,
and "a .on"n later fire broke out In
the CITY DSe House. After a despe-
rate night the fire was confined to the
hIilding in which IT started.
Upon investigation 1t was found that

The divine law OF harmony that per-
meatcs all nature Is the one fundamental
principle upon which it is safe to build,
and wherever 1t is disrcgardcd confu-
sion is sure to result. No one thing
should ever be purchased for itself alone.
In relation to the room as a whole, its
part in the projected scheme. its suita-
bility to the use required, its adaptn-
pility as a factor, all are points to be
studied and considered: and hen when
such requirements are found, and In
trinsic beauty is added as an extra
charm rather han as an aggressive first
thought, success will be attained and a
well-nigh perfect selection will be made.
