IN NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, Nov. 8. / a. m.-One of the
most peculiar campaigns In the history Of
the state closed at sundown yesterday
evening, and 1t Is safe to say that tho
democratic managers are not moro sur
prised at the result than the republicans.
The dominant issue In all portions Of the
state has been ring rule, aud the rcpubli-
cans In New York city, Brooklyn, Albany
and Buffalo have been greatly assisted
by tho organized efforts OF indepen-
dent democrats. Isaac II. Maynard. can
didate on the democratic ticket for Judge
of the court Of appeals, against whom the
independent democrats waged war, is
overwhelmingly defeated. Practically com.
plete returns indicate that the republicans
have elected their entire state ticket
and that they will have good working
majority In the next legislature. In Brook
lyn the democratic majority OF 5000 mt
the last election is completely overturned.
NEW YORK, Nov. THE indications arc
that tho republicans elect their state
ticket by 10000 10 25.0C0. II Is claimed
that Bartlett's majority over Maynard will
exceed $4,000.
Tho World says Boody comedies his de-
feat as mayor of Brooklyn.
A Tribune bulletin says: Bartlett is
elected over Maynard by plurality of
IS, 900 i'm the state. Tho Tribune says the
state has gone republican BY 1000 ma
jority.
Returns from one-sixth Of the state out
side of New York and Brooklyn give Pal.
mcr, republican, for secretary of state, a
majority over Meyer of 1865.
Tho Daily Ne,cs says: Tammany will
elect 2s out Of 30 assemblymen in this
city.
Croker, tho Tammany chicftain, at 0
o'clock said: ''lt looks as II the republi-
cans had made clean sweep OF the state
ticket. including the legislature"
The sun says: The republican gains in
the state are surprisingly heavy.

IN KANSAS.

TOPEKA, Kas., Nov. The Australian
ballot system was used In Kansas to-day
for the first time and though there was
some friction in localities where the law
was not thoroughly understood, the vote
was not nearly as large ms in 1892 when
32i 1856 votes were cast. In the first place
it is an Oft year, then II is estimated that
fully % per cent. OF tho voters in the
western part of the state have emigrated
ON account of tho failure of crops and be.
sides there was a considerable exodus
from all sections to the Cherokee strip,
and finally many voters through ignorance
or timidity would not venture in the
booths under the new law. BY common
consent the vote to-day is compared with
that of two years ago when the Same
county officers were elected.
TOPEKA, Nov. The Capitors dis
patches UP to q. IN. from oil parts of
Kansas show republican gains. Twenty

THE mlDspor OF OUR PLANET.
Many Places which Contest the Homo
Their Claims.

Many Places Which Contest the Honor.
Their Claims.
For several centuries different cities Of
the orient have contested with each 9TH
er for the honor Of being recognized as
the midspot Of our planet. In 1888 a
London geographer issued an elaborate
work. in which he tried to prove the
British metropolis to be the center Of the
landed surface of the globe. Jerusalem
and Delphi, Notwithstanding that neither
is situated on OF very near the equator.
have for ages been the two main con-
testants in this great central city contro-
versy.
William Simpson Of the London So
ciety For the Exploration Of Palestine
tells us that Herr Schick has sent home
drawings Of the spot in Jerusalem which
is supposed by some TO be the exact cen
ter of our world. This interesting place
is in the Greek church, nine feet to the
right Of the reliquary containing what
purports 10 be the crown of thorns worn
by our Saviour, the first nail that was
driven through his right hand and the
blood which he shed on that memorable
occasion.
It is written in the Psalms, "God is
my king Of old, working salvation in
the midst of the earth"
This can only refer to the scenes of the
passion and Of the holy sepulcher. The
midst or spot Of the earth must, there
fore, be sought in that vicinity. The be-
lief that the center of the earth is at
Jerusalem is very ancient, for it is al
luded TO by st. Ephrem in his reference
to Noah's prayer over the bones Of Adam.
st. Ephrem says, "And Noah buried
Adams bones in the middle Of the
earth" A certain round stone in the
temple Of Delphi is also spoken Of by
the ancient writers as being the "navel
or center of the earth"
Orestes takes refuge there when pur-
sued by Euminides. Pindar also makes
mention of the exact location of the
center of the world, and Pensanius, like
Herr Schick, also had the pleasure of
beholding the only genuine central hub
of our planet. He, however, locates it
at Delphi instead Of at Jerusalem. 1T

Menn Trick.

A lawyer defending promissory note
went to lunch, leaving his books and ci-
tations on the table in the courtroom.
The opposing counsel sneaked back into
the room and changed the places of all
his boolmarks. In the afternoon the
lawyer, taking up his books, referred the
court TO his authorities. His lordship
noted every volume and page carefully
and took the case under consideration.
In rendering his opinion he said:
II was inclined after hearing argu-
ment of counsel for defendant to non
suit plaintiff, but find, after referring
to the authorities quoted by counsel,
none Of them bear on this case, and l
am led TO think that the gentleman has
been willfully trying to insult the court.
He has referred me to an action Of an
Irishman who sued the proprietor of a
monkey for damages for biting him to a
case of arson, one of burglary, two of
petty larceny and three divorce cases,
none Of which bears on an action to re-
cover on a promissory note. Perhaps
the grossest insult to the court is refer
ring to 'Duckworth versus Boozyman,
an action charging defendant with
breach Of promise. Judgment for plain
tiff with costs.
The lawyer never knew what the mat
ter was and to this day thinks the Judge
was out of his mind.-Pearson's Weekly.

Fined da-Dead Man.

Down in southwestern Texas, Just
about midway between Houston in the
east and FL Paso in the west, and very
near to the Rio Grande, the Southern
Pacific railway has built over the Pecos
river the highest bridge in the United
States. just before this bridge was fin
ished one Of the workmen fell from it
and was of course killed.
The county judge was brought from
Langtry. the town nearest TO the bridge,
TO hold a "crowner's quest" The Judge
arrived with a great concourse Of people,
all anxious TO serve on the jury. Pro
ceedings were begun by examining the
body Of the dead man. Upon this were
found a loaded revolver and $40 in cash.
Perceiving this, the judge said:
"There amt nothing TO do about this
case, gentlemen of the jury The mans
dead, and it's perfectly plain how he
met his death. But what 1 want TO know
is, what was he doing with that gun?
That's against thelaws Of Texas. He amt

all. Word comes from the camp Of

disabled Rusies arm is very lame. and
George Davis will not come home with

To this may be added the fact that the

and have issued no instructions about
the use Of Eastern Park by the rival
teams Then, too, while Treasurer Tai
colt, Of the New York Club, has been
willing to allow the New Yorks TO play.

that he has advised Manager Ward "a

The eailows Plant.

During the middle ages the botanists, or
old "herbalists," gave currency to many
curious stories concerning the growth,
form, ETC., Of mandrake or May apple,
which finally resulted in its being given
the name Of ''gallows plant" The pseudo
scientists of that time declared that man
drake would grow in no other place ex-
cept upon which some terrible crime had
been committed. The roots were for
merly supposed to bear a strong resem-
blance to the human form and are fig
ured in the old "Herbals" which lie be-
fore me as 1 write, even distinguished as
to sex. the female Of the plant having
long hair; the male, heavy beard.-St.
