Mistake in the Count Discovered Soon
Enough Ia Save Him.
Tho discovery Of the mistake OF the town
ship board in making a canvass OF the
vote on justices of the peace created con
siderable interest in local political circles
yesterday. Justice Wen Is now generally
acknowledged to have been elected by three
votes over his republican colleague on the
ticket, j. w. Ferrier. The friends of Fer
rier have been extending their sympathies
In place of the congratulations they
showered upon him the day before.
The point was raised that as the town
ship board had made an official canvass and
announced that Terrier was elected that
would end the matter unless 1t was taken
to the courts on n contest. This will not
have to be done, however, as the law provides
that the canvass OF the vote on justice OF
the peace shall be made by the Board OF
Supervisors. All the power that the town
ship board has in canvassing the vote is on
the Offices OF constable, trustee and clerk
the supreme court having held that the
Justices of the peace are county officers
The supervisors will meet in regular ses'
sion Monday and canvass the vote, when the
matter will be finally settled and the
count taken from the poll books as handed
in by the election boards and kept under
seal ever since.

weapons aud We'll Drilled.
The military forces Of Turkey says tho
Pall Mall Gazette may be said to consist
exclusively OF Turks proper, as nomad Kurds
and nomad Arabs. although liable to serve,
are not recruited, and Christians are al
lowed to pay an exemption tax, All Mussul-
mans come under the recruiting law at 20
years Of age and remain In the service until
DO. OF the twenty years six are passed In
the Nizam, or regular army, eight In the
Rcdir or Landwchr, and six In the Mustah-
fu2, or Dandsturm. About 10000 Moslcms
become liable to serve yearly, aud OF these
some $4,000 pass into the Ni2am and serve
their four years with the o5lors and then
remain or the reserve until the timo comes
for them to pass to the Redit,
The total strength OF the combatant forces
of the Turkish empire is upward OF i00,
00O men. In 1857 Turkey obtained a sup
ply OF large bore magazine rifles but these
are now being converted into small calbor
so as to take the same ammunition as the
small-b-rC C3.0l2-inchO MauScr rifles OF
tho Belgian pattern which We're introduced
IN 1890. This latter, which Is the arm OF

recently, is armed with nearly 400 guns
about 900 of which are new pattern Nrupps
the rest being older lNrupps and Whitworth
guns. That the men are available and that
they would be well armed is certain. 1t u.s.
however doubtful IT sufficient horses 1T for
active service could be supplied to meet the
requirements Of 200 cavalry squadrons, and
nearly as great number for horse and field
batteries Another difficulty is the lack Of
communications, and 1t is probable that
owing to the want of sufficient rolling stock
on the railways. especially In the Asiatic
provinces a large force could not be CON
centrated in any distant part of the empire
for many months.
The army is organized on the territorial
system and the ottoman empire is divided
into six great military districts. Western
and southwestern Arabia comprises seventh
district, but its recruits are drawn from
districts in Turkey. The garrisons of Crete
and Tripoli are also recruited from Turkey.
Each of the six districts contains an army
corps of two infantry divisions, a cavalry
division, ana other troops belonging to the
Nzam The Rodif is also organized In
twenty-five divisions, spread over the six
districts.
1t would appear, therefore, that. notwith-
standing certain drawbacks in the way of
rapid mobilization of all the forces OF the
empire. a powerful and well organized army
is at the back of the sultan, and when the
stand the Turks made for hours at the battle
of levin during the campaign in Armenia
in 1877 is remembered II cannot be doubted
that in a struggle for the integrity and in
dependence OF their country they would eX-
hibit military spirit and endurance not
easily overcome.

why Japnncse Matches ana Tooth
picks Arc so Chenn

picks Are So Cheap.
1t has often been matter of wonder to
casual purchasers that small articles OF
Japanese manufacture, such as toothpicks
and fans could be sold at such low prices
The small fans are sold at a cent apiece
while the dainty little toothpcks command
the same price per bundle.
When one examines either of these prod
ucts and speculates upon the amount OF
labor that must be spent to make them in
any quantity, the natural inference, says the
jewelers. Review, Is that the well known
smallness OF Japanese wages contains the
explanation, At a first glance this seems to
be the naural explanation. Such skilled
workers as watchmakers get but trne
more than 81 a week for their services and
the less skilled and more mechanical trades
command pittance that to our western
Ideas seems incredibly small.
But small as the wages of the Japanese
worker may be, there are considerations
that indicate at once that some other cause
must be found. There is a duty on both the
articles mentioned, and in addition to this
1t must be remembered that Japan is a good
piece away, and that, in the natural course
freights would give a considerable price In
this market to articles that were entirely
without cost In the Orient
visit to several Japanese importing
houses which deal exclusively In fine Sat.
suma and other native wares and in japanese
curios revealed the secret OF the prices al
which the small wares could be offered here
The large vases which form the staple i'm,
port of the concerns called upon require the
most careful packing, lest on their long
journey they come to grief; and here Is
where the toothpicks and fans not only work
their passage, but legally escape duty
Packed in and around the vases are many
thousands OF these articles, and by this use
they lose their character as merchandise and

CONSULTING THE CLOCK.
Familiar Faces that Are Seldom Over
looked hN Now Nnrknrs

looked by New Workers.
One of the popular habits of the people OF
New York City Is to consult the clock almost
on every occasion when an opportunity is
presented. 1t matters little whether any
special need requires that consultation or
not, says the Mail and Express, the clock
will thus be consulted. Especially Is this
the case If a particular clock has the repu4
tation of being a good timekeeper. So well
Is this known by many storekeepers that
they Will place clocks in their stores so
situated as to be easily seen by persons who
may be passing along the adjacent sidewalk.
If the clock has good reputation and the
pedestrian is fortunate enough to carry a
watch, comparison is almost sure TO be
made.
Many times a clock with good reputation
placed in the back part OF a store becomes
protection thereof, especially at night, II
near 1t is located a light strong enough to
illuminate its face and show the time. A
policeman told a Mail and Express reporter
the other day that good clock, thus stu
ated, Is better than a private Waterman for
a jewelry store, as every belated passer-by
Is likely to look through the store to see
what time II Is. and would be almost certain
to notice anything unusual in the appearance
OF the place. II therefore becomes indirectly
a silent Waterman guarding the premises
against the depredations of burglars, and
makes the pedestrians, as 1t were, assistants
in the work
Church clocks have always had a large
number OF patrons in the work OF consuta-
ton and nothing seems to be so annoying as
to find such a clock inactive. When an event
of this character occurs, especially II the
church Is located on or near busy thor
Oughfare, the fact OF the clock being
STOPPED, or that some defect appears to exist
is often made the subject OF a notice In the
daily papers. Especially was this the case
when the steeple OF st. Pauls was recently
undergoing renovation, and II was Joy TO
many on noticing that the newly gilded
hands OF the clock were again travelling
along their accustomed circuit, and the deep
toned bell was ready TO strike the hour once
more.

SMUGGLING EXTRAORDINARY.
Nerncious Account of the Loss of n
Number of Chinese Thumbs.

Number of Chinese Thumbs.
The report that Cinnamon are being
pulled across the st. Lawrence river by
means of rope stretched from Iroquols to
Hogansburg, thus gaining an entrance to
the land OF the free, is being widely cir
culated, says the Norwood IN. j. News.
The lack of particulars has led people to
think that 1t Is no trick at all for the
almond-eyod celestial to do the rope passage
but people who are acquainted with the old
st. Lawrence know that it takes lots of
nerve to hang on to a rope and be dragged
from lroquois to HOgansburg in the witch
ing hours of night
The strong curren. of the river makes n
impossible to pull; straight across, conse-
quently Hogansburg is somewhat down the
river from lroquois, and in order to keep
the rope in place it has to run through
several guide pulleys anchored on shoaling
points. These pulleys are n source OF an
noyance to the passenger, and, as 1t Is i'm
possible to see them in the night, their posi-
ton Is not known until thumb or finger is
cut on. 1t was the finding of these fingers
and thumbs in the stomachs OF fish caught
along the river that led to the discovered of
this method of crossing. One fish caught in
Louisville bay had two right hand thumbs
in It's stomach.
The great wonder is how any Chnaman
could make the trip and have any fingers
left After leaving lroquOis on the Canadian
side the course leads down through the
rapids above Morrisburg and the first guide
pulley is anchored of the foot of Ogden's
island, about four miles down. The next
pulley is near FerTans Point, some fourteen
miles further down. The next at the head
OF the Long Sault island, four miles below.
After leaving the head OF this island the
passenger enters the Long Sault rapids,
where, after twelve or fourteen miles of
swift water, he lands at the mouth of the
st. Regis river, just below Hogansburg.
Here the half-drOWned Oriental has the
water wrung out of his pig tail, the stubs of
his missing thumbs and fingers bandaged
