HINTS FOR A LUNCHEON q
A Suburban Feast That May Serve as n
Model.

At a suburban luncheon one day last week
everbOdy-p the guests from town
admired the table and room decoration of
big dropping cones among branches OF
feathery cedar. The hostess laughed and
explained that the storm had prevented
her flower order from being filled, ana
these blown off by the same storm, were
hastily gathered to supply the deficiency.
Nothing could have been more appropriate
beautiful. The luncheon was eaten IN a
square room, whose big windows afforded q
fine and easy view of the stretching land
scape, snow covered and dotted with ever
greens, a glimpse of the sound, gray ana
Wntry, showing between the trees. IN Such
environment the wood brown of the cones
and the bright green of the ceGars were III
beautiful harmony. Suburban folk nave
at any season the treasures OF the WOODS
to fall back upon and nothing is more CRATE
full to the city eyes.
A pretty decoration at a dinner was a pan
of ivy in the center of the table, formed OF
hoops, through which peeped flowers. AT d
signal, strings were pulled, detachlng the
ivy hoops and a mass of flower poutoh-
nieres fell out, souvenirs for each OF the
ladies present.

The Governorshlp.

Ed. Hoch, of Marion. lis a man
whom the Republicans Of Kansas
admire and trust. He deserves much
of the party and the state for his
unselfsh service In the warfare for
order and decency. His idea of po-
litical methods are in the highest de-
gree commendable. Had it been
known earlier that he desired the
gubernatorial nomination at the
hands of his party he would have re-
ceived the support of thousands of
men who are now committed to the
candidacy of another man. As it is
the masses of the party have decided
to nominate Major Morrill,. Kan
sas needs no more than anything
else to have men in authority who
can restore the lost standing of the
state in the places where Kansas
merchants, real estate men, manu-
facturers and farmers must do bust
ness. Morrill, is such a man. He
is known east and west as business
men of large affairs and spotless
character. His name as governor
of the state would go so far towards
restoring confidence in the good
sense ofsKansas people that the re-
fusal to use it would be an act too
unwise for the party to commit

In three of the grammar schools Of
New York city an anti-cigarette league
has obtained so frra foothold and is
SO popular among the boys as to en-,
courage the originators of the expert
ment to extend it to the other schools
of the city. The pupils are simply
asked to sign pledge that they will
not smoke cigarettes before they are
twenty-one years of age. This vice
has played such havoc with the brain
and physique of American youth that
any effort to suppress its spread that
promises results should be hailed with
delight and enthusiastically en-.
couraged. Legislation has been tried
and found wanting, all laws on the
subject being easily evaded. The only
feasible plan seems to be to interest the
boys themselves in the subject and
bring them to a realizing sense of the
dangers of the practice.

A Hint to Wives and Footp.ds.

A Hint to Wives and Foot2ads.
There was time when nearly every
man carried his ready cash in pocket
book, the old-fashioned ones that rolled
up predpminating. But now, says St.
Louis exchange, not one in five hun
dred men carry a regular receptacle for
money. A little card case is generally
placed in the inside vest pocket, and
sometimes you will see men put large
bills in these, but most men carry their
money in some one of their pockets.
Now you can tell a man of sporting
proclwities just as soon as he takes out
his money. He carries it in roll in
the left hand pocket of his trousers,
and every time he spends dime
will flash this roll Some men put
their money in their hip pockets,
in lieu of gun; others in the
vest pockets, but most 12en carry
their cash in the little fob in the waist
band of their trousers. Cautious men
place money in different pockets tc
avoid being cleaned out should the
light-fngered gentry connect with
them. However, the man who carries
a real, bonafde poel1etboolz, as of
old, is considered eccentric these days.

Women as Tramps.

It appears that number of women
have taken to the road as tramps and
are travelling toward California, says
the San Francisco Examiner. They
are said to be honest women, who are
In search of employment. There are
three of them who are said to be head
ed for Sacramento, having travelled to-
gether from Portland. They were
without means and starvation stared
them in the face if they remained in
the Oregon metropolis during the win
ter. 1t was decidedly bold thing for
women to do, but those three maidens
determined to get to California in reg
ulation tramp fashion. Accordingly
they sailed forth and climbed to the
top of the first freight train they came
to, and, seating themselves on the edge
of box car, they allowed their feet to
dangle along the side and waited for
the locomotive TO roll away. It is said
that brakeman who was running over
the top of the train was so paralyzed
with astonishment when he saw the
petticoated tourists that he almost fell
overheard. 'Where are You going, my
pretty maids?" he politely asked, and
gallantly lifted his hat. The girls told
him plainly that they were going to
California; that they had no money to
pay their fare, and that they did not
propose to be put off the train. None
of the train crew interfered with the
women. At various stations the girls
went about and begged food. At one
place, it is reported, tramp insulted
one of the women, when the three
sailed in together and gave him
trouncing that he will remember for

Chairman Babcock or the Republican

the Republicans will organize the next

turns are incomplete, his information
is that the Tennessee Legislature is Re,
publican and will send member of
that party to succeed Harris. Mr.. Bah
cock has also a dispatch stating that
Denny, Rep. in the Seventh Kentucky

INDIANA TURNS OVER
Republican Majority in Harrison s
State Will Be Nearly Seventy
Thousand.
The Majority in Illinois Will Be Up
wards of One Hundred
Thousand.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 8.-The
partial returns received from Indiana
indicate that the state is Republican by
at least $4,000. The Republican state
committee says it will not be surprised
if the plurality reaches 10000. 1t is
the most sweeping victory ever won by
any political party in Indiana. The
first returns received during the night
showed strong Republican gains. They
came from the labor centers and the
Democrats at headquarters expressed
the hope that the tide would turn
when the country vote began coming
in. Late at night returns began to ar
rive from all parts of the state and
from everywhere came the story of
gains. The returns thus far received
show an average Republican gain Of
about
Forty Votes to the precinct.
IL is doubtful, however, whether this
ratio will hold up to the end for it is
expected that it will be cut down by
the returns from the agricultural dis
tricts, but If it should be cut to 90 to
the precinct the Republican majority
will be over $4,000. Returns from the
congressional districts have been slow
coming in, but the scattering figures
received, considered in connection with
the great Republican gains in
every part of the state indi-
cate that the Republicans have elected
II and possibly all IS members of con-
gress. The Democrats still have hopes
that Stockslager, in the Third and Hol-
man in the Fourth district, have been
elected. The Legislature is Republican
in both branches. There win be in the
house about So Republicans and s5
Democrats; i'm the senate about 30 Re-
publicans, 90 Democrats.

THE NEXT SENATE.

Republicans Claim They wnl Have mt
Least Forty-fOur.
WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-The returns
from Legislative elections indicate very
material changes in the United States
senate after March next. The reports
from New Jersey and Kansas indicate
Republican legislatures. This would
result in replacing Mcpherson (Dem.
n. I'D and Martin lDem., Kan. y whose
terms expire March 8, with Republi-
cans. The Democrats also lose South
Carolina, which will send Tillman,
Pop, to the senate. The loss of Kan
sas, New Jersey and South Carolina
reduce the present Democratic total in
the senate from a. to IL. The reports
from West Virginia, Tennessee and
Kentucky do not yet indicate with GER
tainty that the legislatures will be
Democratic and if there should be
changes in any of them the Democratic
total in the senate would be still fur
ther reduced.
The present Republican strength in
the senate Of ss, promises to be in
creased by senators from New Jersey,
Kansas, Montana, Wyoming and
Washington, the last three being va
cancies, in which there is still some
doubt as to the returns. This makes a
gain of and loss of /. or net gain
of 4. raising the Republican total to 40.
The populists now have 8 senators.
The returns indicate gain for them in
South Carolina and Nebraska, making
their total 5.
Senators Jones and Stewart of Ne.
vada have of late affiliated with the
Populists, so that the Populist strength
may be increased, and the Republicans
increased by two.
An estimate of the next senate by
Chairman Babcock gives the Republi-
cans A out of 53 senators. He counts
upon Senator PETERS cooperation to
organize.

be an Offset by increased majorities
above the rivers bank for the Democ-
racy. The most sanguine expected
that the Democratic party. with Sena-
tor Hill at its head, would show recn-
pezation from the vote given for May
nard in 1898. In place Of all antici-
pated results comes a sweep of such
proportions and from every quarter
Reyond tho Highest Claims
made by the Republicans. From plu-
ralities ranging from 80, 900 to l25, 900
In the district below the Harlem for
the Democratic party, the Republican
party turns the city vote into 10000
plurality for its state candidates. In
all the Democratic estimates given ON
the eve of election it was contended
that the Democratic plurality below
the Harlem would be at least $1,000.
The surprises are not confined to this
change of vote, but an analysis shows
that Senator Hill will run behind even
the vote of Maynard, while in the state
he fell below the vote cast for Governor
Flower in 1891. ....
The percentage. of loss as compared
with the vote for the head of the ticket
is not nearly SO large as it was supposed
to be and the result, therefore, is that
the legislature will consist of 30 sena.
tors and 100 assemblymen, that pool
selling on races will be prohibited and
that new judiciary system will be in.
