HOW TO VOTE.
The Old Ballot But Some New Methods
A Gross in the Circle at the Top
Votes the Ticket Straight.

As the amendments OF 1893 to the
Australian ballot law OF 1891, have some
what changed the method OF voting 1t
will be well that voters consider the
changes and come to the election booth
this year prepared to mark their ballots
intelligently. Under the law OF 1891 the
voter.was required to make X or mark
before every Individual on the ticket he
wished ID vote for. Under the law Of
1893, this 10 somewhat simplifed by q
large circle being placed at the head OF
each party ticket. Tf the voter desires
TO vote his whole ticket straight he sim
ply places his x in the circleat the top
and then deposits his ticket in the ballot
box. But IL he wishes to scratch" his
ticket, or in other words, to vote against
q candidate on his own ticket and vote
for one on another party ticket for the
same Office he places his mark or x in
the circle at the top, scratches out the
name OF the candidate on his wi ticket
for whom he does not want to vote, and
places an X in the small square before
the name OF the candidate on the other
ticket for whom be wishes 70 vote for
that particular Office. And 30 OF any
other individual names he wishes to
change.
Again, il is not necessary TO place ak
In the circle at the top OF the party
ticket, as q voter can vote for any o. all
of hiscandidates by putting o x before
each one Cor whom he desires 10 vote.
And. finaliy;the instruction TO judges
OF election for counting the votes is as
follows: sts IA
aAli informalties In the form OF mark
ing the ballot or the failure to stamp the
official endorsement on it shall be dlsre-
garded and all votes shall be counted
according TO the intention of the voter,
III a~scertainable from the ballot used.
Tickets markedin a.circle at thetop with
q crosse showing the Intention OF the
voter to designate such ticket as his
vote, shall be couaeed as voted through
out, except when o name 10 erased with
q lead pencil or otherwise, and q cross to
the left OF any name on any other ticket
shall be as . vote for such person; pro
vided, the mans OF the candidate for the
same office on the ticket marked Mt the
top by the voter is erased, or it other
wise appears that no other person has
been voted for the same Office.
There will also be three amendmente
to the constitution printed on the ballot.
which electors AN study previous to
election by reading themiin the notice Of
election now published in the official
papers. In regard to voting for OF
against them the new law says:
THAT whenever q proposed amend
ment 60 the constitution ID submitted Ia
vote she same shall be printed ON each
ticket Oh the ball6t, and Immediately te
the lett ths words "yes' and ''no'' pre-.
ceded by q square in which the electol

Curious whims are occasionally shown

day came for a volume of IN She
did not mind whose sermons, nor what

gious discourses of some sort. Monday
she would come back. return the ser
mons and take out a novel to unbend
her mind until the next Friday, when
the sermons would again be in demand.
There was another woman who would
never read anything but a religious
novel, as she called it, not such a one
as "Ben-Hur" or n with "A particular
religious tenet to inculcate. but a book
with a clergyman as its chief character.
SwinbuIne's Heavenly Arcana'
was read daily for years by an eccen-
trio old gentleman. He would draw
the book. keep it two weeks, return it
with his place marked and call early
the next morning To take it out again.

place marked as usual. There is one

White Men in the Indinn Territory.

Strange ms it may seem there are mt
least one-third moro white United
States citizens in tho Indian Territory
comprising tho five civilized tribes
of Chcrolsccs, Greeks, Seminoles, Choc-
tnws, and Chicknsaws-than the totnl
population OF Oklahoma Territory, in
Guiding the unopened reservations. It
is this remarkable fact whichmade tho
last Congress so prolific of bills affect
ing the Indian Territory, and caused
tho Senate to empower the President
to appoint committee of three to
visit these five Nations, as they call
themselves, this past summer, and
treat with their respective govern
ments with view to tho dissolution
of their tribal relations, the allotment
of their lands in severalty, tho accept
ance of American citizenship, and
speedy statehood. The tribal popula-
tion Of the Nations aggregates in round
numbers 81, 900, divided ms follows
Cherokees, $4,000; Creeks, $4,000;
Seminolcs, 5000; Choctaws, 1900;
Chicknsaws, 5000. The United States
citizen population, owing no tribal nj
legiancc and alien in character, is con-
seryatively estimated Mt 100000, of
which number 70, 900 are in tho Chick
asaw Nation alone. When it is con-
sidered that there arc fifteen. non-citi-
zens to ono citizen in the last-men-
toned Nation. the reader will reed-
lily perceive the condition which calls
for Congressional action and threatens
the abrogation of Indian autonomy.
Fully four-ffths of this alien white
population immigrated to the Indian
Territory after tho opening OF Okla
homa for settlement. -Harper's Mag

Queer Scots in Russia.

NJ. Tsakni, q Russian writer, has
published mn interesting work en-
titled "Qucer Religious Sects of Rus
sia," from which it appears that there
are not less than Is, 900, 900 followers
of insane and cranky notions in the
empire of the Gar. These communi-
ties of devout and deludcd beings are
constantly being enlarged in spite of
all efforts made to the contrary by the
Government.
One of these sects is known MS tho
"Runaways." AS soon MS they embrace
the new faith they fly from their vii
lagos and towns, destroy their identity
MS much rs possible, and henceforth
live as savages. "The Christs" are
another curious sect; they worship
each other! The chief ceremonies are
crazy species of dancing, yelling as
loudly MS possible, and pounding
stones with sticks.
The "Skuptsys" believe in self-mu-
tilation, but will not submit to nmpu-
tation, even though it would save lifo.
Like the "Christs," they dance and
yell for hours without intermission.
Still another of these deluded scots
is tho "Dumb Boys" Why they are
called dumb boys no ono seems to
know, but it is curious fact that the
sect is composed of both sexes, old
men being in the majority.
1t is claimed that some of these aged
patriarchs have not spoken in fifty
years, although perfectly able to do SO
did they SO desire.
"The Suicides" are sect led by NJ.

ton as an absolute necessity to saliva
ton. He is very eloquent, and it is
said that he often leaves church with
