ONE OF THE LESSONS.

The defeat of Sheriff Burdge by sew
eral hundred votes is due to one fact
plainly pointed out in the JOURNAL be-
fore the election.
The people were Disguised. They were
sufficiently disguised to not only greatly
reduce Burdge's vote, as foreshadowed by
the JOURNAL, but to reduce the result to
defeat by narrow majority.
Hosts OF good Republicans refused to
vote; others went further and voted for
hepley to emphatically register their
protests.
When a Republican sheriff pretends
to enforce the prohibitory enactment by
sending his chief officer who gets on
big drunk while he attempts to uphold
that law-as did Tom Wiikerson at Ross
ville-a great many become weary.
They will not forgive the sheriff when
he refuses to reprimand his representa-
tive by summary discharge.
Actions speak louder than words and
count for more.
When the Republican police. depart
ment of this city allows m2udlin officials
TO represent it; and when there
is general Iooseness about
the enforcement of various laws
besides; and a whole lot Of politicil
hypocrisy among the leaders of an al
legged enforcement of the prohibitory
law-many people get awfully tired.
Enough got tired yesterday to defeat
Burdge. The other fellows never get
Tired.
A lot of people hate hypocrisy as much
as they do free whisky

As the hour for opening the church
approached many of the guests who
were waiting in the vicinity in their car
riages drove up to the entrances on 53rd
street and Fifth avenue and alig ghting,
got in line in good natured way.
The crowd at this time began to swell,
and the police in charge of four precinct
commanders, under orders from lnspec-
tor kortwright. kept the spectators mov-
ing, none being permitted to loiter in
trout of the approaches to the edlfice.
and there was no unnecessary crush IN
the Immediate vicinity of the entrances
through which the bridal party, or guests
had to pass.
Every arrival at the church was eager
ly scanned by the crowd, but very little
could be seen of any of the costumes by
outsiders. owing TO the awnings which
enclosed the entire length of the curbs
and which prevented the guests from be-
ing seen on alighting from their car
riages.
The crowd, however, made up for this
by surrounding the carriages which were
in line, men and women scrambling and
jostling against each other in their
eaCerness to sec the occupants. The

Seventy-second street was not large,
owing probably 20 the efforts of the
police.
Residents in the vicinity were out in
force upon their stoops, and all of the
windows in the hotel facing the brides
home were occupied, principally by
women.
The Vanderbilt servants left for the
church early where they were accom-
tutors and governesses of the family.
Among the very early arrivals were
Miss Armide Smith, sister of Mrs. Van
derbilt, aud maid who drove over early
and entered the church. Tho Mortons,
Jays, Belmonts, Goelets and Cuttings
arrived early and chatted pleasantly
among themselves while they waited for
the doors to open
The scene inside the church was one
which will never be forgotten by those
who were fortunate enough to have
overcrowded and the arrangements were
perfect Women of wealth and So
cial prominence Wed with each
other in the richness and grandeur OF
their equipXge, lending to the occasion
the brilliancy of an old world court func-
ton.
The guests, as they were admitted were
conducted TO pews by the ushers. At
half past ten DR.. Warren, the
organist, entered the chair stalls
attired in cassock, surplice and
crimson hood, and for ever an hour
performed varied programme on the
organ. This programme was followed
by one performed by the New York
Symphony orchestra with Walter Dam
rosch as director.

The Blenheim palace was a gift of
the nation to John Churchill, the first
Duke of Marlborough, the greatest
general England ever had. Blenheim
was the greatest of series of victories
won by Marlborough at the head of the

of France
Parliament failed to supply sufficient
money to continue the building of Blen :
helm and it was only completed through
the contributions of Queen Anne and
George l.
Bemheim contains 600 rooms, and re-
qures the services of 800 servants. 1t
is surrounded by an estate of 3,70o acres
The palace is heavy majestic classical
building, the work of Sir John Van

The late dukes American wife, for
merry Mrs. HamersIey, is said to have
spent $6.000,000 in repairing Benheim.
a price cannot be put on Blenheim as

millions to the man who can appreciate
it and afford to live in it.

JOURNAL reporter today: II am very we'll
satisfied with the result, and my majority
will be about 500 in the county. l was
slaughtered some places in tho country,
but that is all right l made up for it in
town, and if the full vote had been out
would havo had from 1900 to 1000
majority.
81 will tell you how this was done. 1t
was done Just by hard work and by get
ting around among the people and see
ing them personally. During the four
months of the campaign, nine out Of
every ten days l did rot have any money,
not even nickle in my pocket to pay
street car fare, but my friends were loyal
from the start TO the finish. All this talk
about my election being slam at law
and order is all bosh. Why, the business
men of Topeka were for me. Why,
there was Al Thompson and Hy Dillon
and some of those fellows, they post
poned starting on their hunting trip until
yesterday afternoon, just SO they could
vote for me.

enforce ali the laws as l find them on

ly understood that l will not contine my
efforts to arresting one legged men who
violate the prohibitory law and allow
drugstore saloons to ran wide open and
unmolested right across the street from

The Republicans Carry Cook County b,
$1,000 TO 3S.OOO aLrioritx


CHICAGO, Nov. 6-The election in
Cook county (Chicago) yesterday proves
TO have been a Republican landslide, the
candidates of that party being chosen
by majorities ranging from $1,000 to
$4,000.
The election was for two judges of the
superior court and nine trustees
for the $3Q.GO0,OO0 drainage
canal which is to connect Lake Michigan
and the Illinois river. As these trustees
are voted for on the cumulative plan,
each of the parties nominated five can
didates, it being agreed that the one re-
ceiving the smallest number OF votes on
either side should be out
Under this arrangement the Repuhli-
cans elected five and the Democrats four
of the trustees. The Republican candi-
dates for judge were also chosen by
large majorities and the vote in favor of
the Torrens land title system was nearly
unanimous.
The vote fors he candidates nominated
by the Peoples and Socialist Labor parties
was very small

Something Over 5000.
Topeka has not been shocked for a,

ment that Frank Miieham, chief clerk in
the money order division at the post
office, has been suspended for shortage

be made good by his family, and United

frank Mileham was known to almost
every body in Topeka and was accounted
one of the most honest of men and eff
cient of employees. He was raised in
Topeka, and is now thirty-thrse years Of
age.
A shortage was discovered in Mile
hams accounts some weeks ago of over
$500. Saturday postotfice inspectors
arriV ed and the work OF ferreting out the
shortage was finished last night.
Mileham admitted the shortage. Tde
system of transactiug business in the
office is largely blamed by the inspect
ors. 1t seems that when a person would
appear with several large money orders
that it would require nearly all of the
money on hand 10 pay, Mlieham would
issue que plllS lOF DaAduC6 Oh IL anu
these would circulate about the city as
money and finally come back for pay

that made the shortage possible.

who have worked for the county during

worked for Kepley at the polls We
suspected that some of these were for
Kepley, but they all protested that they
were working for the entire Republican

which caused the defeat of Dave

a prominent member of the county
central committee said: This election
shows that successful campaign can't
be carried on in Shawnee county without
