SOCIAL GOSSIP

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Sigma Chi fraternity celebrated
their existence. their high mightiness.
their past and their future. by a grand
reunion at their rooms at the Halter
block Saturday evening. The alumni
from abroad were well represented and
several of the charter members were
present After Longing about In the
smoking-room enjoying good cigars and
old stories. the gentlemen adjourned to
the lunch-room across the street. The
toasts were assigned to Paul Clark A.

rather lacked in numbers. but the de-

the congeniality of the crowd. Present

One of the charming social features
of last week. which was rather a giddy
week in society. was the six o'clock tea
given by Miss Maude Hammond to her
friends Saturday evening. The house
was decorated with chrysanthemums.
and the tea tables were resplendant
with glossy linens and dainty china. At
each plate lay a gorgeous chrysanthe-
mum. The grouping of the guests at the
tables was especially fortunate and the
big parlors rang with mirth until at
last the good nights were regretfully
said. Tea was served in four elaborate
courses and the guests, who were most
of them just in from the football game
were unusually susceptible to the deli
cacies which Miss Hammonds little
brothers gracefully served. There was
solid nourishment on which to pin ones
faith, as well as ice cream and angels
food, for a football audience is not
ethereal in appetite. Miss Hammond is
a hostess at once sincere and gracious,
the two elements which make up true
hospitality. About fifty guests were
present. Among them were Mrs. Bar
bour, Archibald Scott, Mrs. Taylor.

Decidedly the best thing I noticed in
q hasty reading of the magazine was
an article on the Strassburg Cathedral
by Mr.. Henry Marvin Belden. who two
years ago was instructor In English at
the university and who is now student
in Germany. 1t is thoughtful, calm. I'M
that makes 1t pleasant to read. 1t be-
gins by telling how the great church
moved Goethe and overcame his preju-
dices against the Gothic, which is a
pretty good recommendation for the
cathedral
1 notice that Sutton and Hollowbus
will move from Eleventh street to o.
Five years ago all the tide went down
that way. Every one moved into Elev-
enth until down to L street, Eleventh
was strictly commercial Every store
room was occupied and every block was
full. On Saturday the sidewalks were
so crowded that you had to fight your
way through. Now it is all changed
All the merchants who moved down
there in prosperous times are coming
back to o street. Some better of than
when they went; some worse.
There are some figures Of the late
election that are interesting. Two years
ago Fred Miller carried every ward of
the city except the Sixth and lost that
by only eight votes. His entire vote
in the city was 246S. and his plurality
was 272. This year he lost every ward
in the city except the First and carried
that by only eleven votes, and his entire
vote in the city was 2153. while Tromp-
ems plurality was 699 Trompen's total
vote in the city was 1852 or Csc more
than that of Alva Smith. In the county
precincts Miller gained 127 votes over
his vote of two years ago, and Trompen
gained 500 over Smiths vote. The total
vote on sheriff this year was 9647, Beech
er and Kelly receiving 546 while two
years ago the total was 91S3, Of which
Ring. the prohibition candidate. receiv-
ed 1852.
But even more interesting figures to
a republican are those which show the
respective growth and decline of the
different parties. In 1894 the highest
republican candidates for regent re-
ceived 4S49 votes This year the high
est candidate received $685.. a gain of
over 500. Two years ago the populist
candidate received 201S votes This year
the populist candidate received 1893
votes, loss Of about ZOO Two years ago
the republican candidate for coroner re-
ceived 1915 votes; the populist candidate
1906 votes; the democrat candidate Poll
votes. and the prohibition candidate
554 votes. This year the republican
candidate had 1863. gain Of over 600:
the populist candidate had 1858, a gain
of 50: the two democratic candidates
1874. a loss of $50: the prohibitionists
$50, a gain of 100
On the head Of the ticket the republi-
cans Of the county polled nearly So per
cent of the votes in 1898: and in 1895
nearly 81 per cent: this in spite of the
fact that quite number of republicans
voted for Maxwell. These things show
that there is a steady gain in the repub-
lican ranks. and that the opposition is

On the head Of the ticket the republi-
cans Of the county polled nearly So per

lican ranks. and that the opposition Is
gradually falling away. Next year the
republicans will poll IS per cent of the
entire vote.
Another thing worthy of notice is
the evenness with which Low and
Trompen ran, Low receiving lis more
votes than Trompen. In nearly every
ward in the city Low ran few votes
ahead Of Trompen. In nearly every
precinct in the country TrOmpen ran
a few votes ahead Of Low. This pretty
effectively gives the lie to those who
said there was treachery on the part
of either.
The lesson Of the campaign is that
when the republican party nOmina-
mates good men in this county they can
not be beaten-not even when a barrel
of unlimited size Is opened.

where 1t is developed 10 the points
where il is wanted. For a while re-
sort was had to long steel ropes. This
was the way 1t was for a time sup
posed that the subdued, harnessed and
utilized power at Niagara would have
to be communicated to more or less
distant points. possibly even as far
away as the city OF Buffalo.
One of the most consequential of
modern discoveries is that electricity
can be used in carrying power from
one point 10 another Electricity could
be used TO carry over a slender wire
motions, sounds, music even; what II
it could also carry along the
same kind OF slender high
way power2 "Eurekar' 1t was found;

How all this marvellous contribution

terprIse has been brought about is well
set forth in the Niagara power number
