Luck should be with the Ohio
Democrats this year. For the Is
years beginning with 1877 the Ohio
Democrats have elected their gov
ernor, and carried their United
States Senator, by securing the Leg
islature, once in every six years,
and in 1895 is another sixth year.
Besides all that, Jimmy" Camp
bell was born to good luck. On the
Republican side the Mckinley and
Foraker feuds are cropping out.

The Treasury will probably have
as much trouble in refunding the
$4,000 income tax paid as it had
collecting it. Less than one-third
of the sum has been returned. 1t is
thought that many of those who
paid the tax before it was declared
invalid did SO to escape bother
before going abroad.

Not only do we want to

it pleases you and meets
your requirements exactly;
otherwise bring it back
and get your money.

The Gallipolis Journal of Satur-
day, in speaking of the recent
lynching of negro near Cincinnati
says the papers on this side of the
line in commenting upon it, COM
pares it with like occurrences in
other States, but fail to "distin-
guish between dignified express
ion of displeasure and brutal mob. Z"
That is if negro lynching takes
place in Ohio, it is "a dignifed
expression of displeasure," but if a
negro is lynched on this side of the
river for heinous crime, it is "a bru-
tai mob" How nicely it draws the
line for political effect.

Trfbuate to a Mother.

Children look in those eyes, listen
to that dear voice, notice the feeling
of even a single touch bestowed up
on you by that hand Make much

precious of all good gifts, loving
mother.
Read the unfathomable love of
those eyes; the kind anxiety of that
tone and look, however slight your
pain. In after life you may have
friends; but never will you have
again the inexpressible love and
gentIeness lavished upon you which
none but a mother bestows. Often
do 1 sigh in the struggles with the
hard, uncaring world, for the sweet,
deep security 1 felt when, of an eve-
ming, nesting in her bosom, list
ened to some quiet tale suitable to
my age, read in her untiring voice
Never can l forget her sweet glances
cast upon me when [ appeared
asleep; never her kiss of peace at
night. Years have passed away
since we laid her beside my father
in the old churh- yard; yet still her
voice whispers from the grave, and
her eyes watches over me as l visit
spots long since haIlowed to the
memory of my mother.

All these changes have been made es-
pecislly for the election on the biennial
amendment on the tax assessment OF 1894
1t Is suggested that 202S removals from
the list, with only one application Tor re-
instatement, show that the appointment
of the board was an excellent thing, as
either carelessness or chicanery must
have hitherto prevailed. The man who
applied to have his name restored was
found in the Tenth Ward last evening,
and his application was granted, because
of the peculiar mistake which made IT
necessary to remove it. He owns prop
erty which belonged to his father, the
deed of which contained misspelling of
his fathers name, and the property is
i'm that part of North Providence annexed
to the city.
The board also found II necessary to re-
move four election officers, three of
whom had no property qualification. A
warden in Ward was removed, ward
clerk in Ward 10, and warden and
clers in Ward Z. The warden in the last
instance had removed 10 another ward,
SO his name was not stricken from the
list.
For the municipal election this..year the
lists will have to be gone over again. and
more changes made 10 conform with the
assessment for $50.
The board finds SO much TO be done yet

open until 9 o'clock this sSening.

pacers and the 2:12 class trotting. The
thira race from yesterdays program was
called first with nine horses In the nsio.
The first heat, however, was rather
unsatisfactory performances. IL WAS
very pretty race 10 the third quarter wnen
Kentucky Star struck Joe Jett, throwing
the driver, and the Rochester horse started
down the stretch at such breakneck
speed that the drivers took more interest
in getting out OF the way OF the fright
ened animal than in winning the race.
Veta had the lead, however, and passed
under the wire five lengths ahead OF pea
Bird and w. Q. b., who came In TO-
gether. ~
Joe Jett was given last position. he
ran DOM TO the first quarter and turned
with a rush into ". +. Steeie's stable,
narrowly escaping striking James Ia,
who was standing blanketed under the
shed.
Clemmie b., who fell in the fourth heat
OF the last race yesterday, was injured
more seriously than was at nrst sup
posed. The owner, o. IA. Budd OF New
York, had the hest OF veterinary surgeons
look at the horse, but they could do
nothing for her and last evening the
promising little bay mare was shot.
The opening heat of the 2:12 class trot
was the second event. There was large
field and the horses had some trouble IN
getting off, but when the word was
given Bravado was In the lead. lie kept
his position without turning hair Tor
more than three-q quarters of a mile, but
met his Waterloo in the stretch when
both Bouncer and Antdllila made high
bid for victory and passed the leader In
magnificent spurt just inside the wire.
The feature OF the second heat OF the
2:15 class was the finish between Veta
and Sea Bird. Veta got away in the
lead and kept at the front Of the process
sion until half way down the stretch,
when the chestnut stallion closed In upon
her and il was neck and neck down the
| stretch. The crowd rose as one man and
| shonteu when the two horses passed the
| band stand side by side, but just inside
| the wire Veta mades.a pretty dash and
finished a nose ahead OF the Medford
| horse.
Bouncer was not much in evidence at
| the finish OF the second heat OF the 2:12
class, but Antdilila, who had been In
second place In the first heat took this
heat by five lengths, with Bravado Sec
fond and James L. a close third.

diateiy drove to the Office of Sir Geo rye
Lewis, q. c., 5her legal adviser, and IN
formed him of what had taken place.
Scotland yard was at once notified of the
robbery. Up to the present time no trace
abs been found of the missing jewels.
There is reason to believe that the value
placed upon the jewels which have so
mysteriously disappeared is not exager-
ated, as they have been long famous and
included three tierras, one being OF dia-
onds and PEARLS, another OF diamonds
and rubies, and third of diamonds and
turquoises, besides several necklaces and
rivieres. The box, In tact, scontained
nearly ell the gems and precious stones
that Mrs. Langtry possessed. The order
upon which il was delivered was written
on paper marked with Mrs. Langtry's
town address, 21 Pont street, 8. W.
The bank In which the Jewels had been
depotsited for safe keeping was the Sloane
