THE WAY TO REGISTER.
HEAD LEVEL, TOUCH THE BUTTON;
THE REST FOLLOWS.
Arrangement of the Committees-How to
Pass Muster Register without
Delay

The Boards for the examination and
registration of voters are in session each
day, except Sunday, at the Government
building, from 0 to 1890 u. m. and from
4 to p. m.
Minister King is in constant attend
ance upon these sessions ready to APP
prove all certificates. The Boards desire
that all intending voters register at
once, as it requires time. and if post
poned will incur a rush as the election
approaches which all wish to avoid. An
explanation of the arrangement Mt the
Government building is given below
AMI is well worth perusing:
In the rear of the Convention Hall is
table behind which sit the Examining
Board. consisting of Messrs. j. A. Ma
COON, +. A. Towse, G. Buschiast and
J. NJ. vivas. The applicant is required
to answer a few questions regarding his
age, nationality, etc, as directed by the
Constitution. He is then given printed
document entitled, Especial Rights of
Citizenship" which is a copy of the
statements made to the Examiners and
an enumeration of the privileges accord
ed Hereunder.
This is submitted to the Minister of
the Interior, who now has a desk in
Mr.. Marsdens Office. If the Minister APP
proves it he signs it and returns the
paper, when the applicant passes before
the Board of Registration in the center
OF the hall. This board consists of
Messrs. G.. T. Rodgers, A. Perry and
David Keliipio.
Here the applicant is received by Mr..
Perry and is questioned in the matter of
qualifications as laid down in the Con-
stitution. His name, the circumstances
and particulars of his case are entered
upon the register, the oath is administer
ed and he is returned a certificate that he
has taken the prescribed oath, together
with his Especial Rights" Then he is
fixed for voting
His Especial Rights" expressly states
that the applicants allegiance to his
native country is not impaired by the
oath, and the paper entities him to
vote in any election.
Citizens of this country, whether born
or naturalized, have a much less COM
pick form to go through with. They
merely pass before the second board.
register and take the oath.
In either case, producing a certificate
of having already subscribed to the
oath greatly simplifies matters and
lessons the work of the Boards. There
fore these certificates should never be
forgotten when starting out to register.
BY remembering these facts the course
will appear simple, and will be under
stood at glance.
The first and last point, however, is
register and register at once.
Prendergast the Murder Dies Game at
Chicago.
CHICAGO, July 13.-Within the walls
of Cook County Jail to-day all was
hustle and suppressed excitement as the
time grew near when Patrick Eugene
Prendergast, the condemned murderer
of Mayor Carter Harrison, would ex-
plate his crime with his life.
Prendergast rested well last night
and seemed calm and collected. He re-
fused until late hour last evening to
receive spiritual consolation, but when
nightfall came on he asked for Father
: Muldoon.
AS the hour for execution came nearer
Prendergast showed showed signs of
slightly increasing nervousness; but, on
the whole, he was remarkably calm
} and we'll collected. Father Barry was in
constant attendance upon Prendergast
all morning. The little assassin was
most deferential. He announced with
a trife of bravado: I'm die game and
set great and shining example to my

bled crowd below him. While the
shroud was placed about him, barring {
