MACHINE FOR VOTERS.
It Records and Counts the Ballots
at tho Same Time.
At the Presidential Election at Hudson.
Mich, This Device Gave the Result
within Two Minutes After
the Polls Closed.

The first election returns sent out
from any point in the country during
the recent election came from Hudson,
Mich. The polls closed at five o'clock
and two minutes later the result of the
ballot for president, congressman and
governor had been telephoned to De-
troit. Within five minutes it had been
sent to all the principal cities of the
country.
The means by which this was ac-
complished was the Abbott voting ma
chine, legalized for use at all elections
in the state of Michigan at the last ses-
sion of the legislature. 1t was the first
time the machines had been used at a
general election. A test of single ma
chine at the spring election in Hudson,
when a tally kept showed a correct
register of all votes and the result an
Eounced by the inspectors within one
minute and forty-four seconds of the
closing of the polls, had proved the
efficiency of the apparatus, and its ac-
ton at the general election was fully up
to expectations.
The machine is of the type which
keeps the record by means of register
ing wheels. At the close of the ballot
ing it is only necessary for the inspec-
tors to read the numbers as they APP
pear on the wheels. The working parts
Of the apparatus are set of slides, each
carrying the names of all the candidates
for one Office, the register wheels, set
of. which is connected with each candi-
dates name and upon which the votes
are recorded, and an operating bar,
which carries the unit wheel of every
candidate whose register wheels are in
the voting space forward one number,
thus adding each vote to those before
received by the candidate.
The machine keeps a correct record of
all votes east, regardless of and not in
Guiding those who may enter the ma
chine without voting; 1t keeps tally
of all votes given to each candidates; and
it keeps record of all votes wherein

IftE WHEEL tOh LONEhS.
call both of them riders, for there is
only one set of pedals, and the man does
all the work.
Extending from the saddle mast
straight forward past the fork and
handle bars, is a metal shaft. 1t is
clamped securely at the saddle mast
and again at the point where the tub
ing of the upper frame bar joins the
handle of the folk just above the
spread.
The end of the bar projects a foot be-
yond the handle bar, directly over the
wheel. At the very end of the bar is
curious seat for the fair companion of
the rider. The seat itself is a light
metal framework, softly cushioned and
having a high, comfortable back. II is
so placed that when the occupant is
seated she is facing the rider in the
saddle. The seat is set out on sort Of
arm arrangement which places it out
TO one side of the wheel.
AS such an arrangement would de-
stroy all possibility of maintaining an
equilibrium when on the wheel, a
wicker skirt protector or guard en-
tends out from the seat, over the wheel
and ends in foot rest. This skirt
guard is so formed that it folds over the
skirt in much the same manner as does
the apron of cab, thus entirely pro-
tecting the dress of the occupant of the
front seat from becoming soled or get
ting entangled with the wheel.

The Death OF Maceo Caused The Gu
bans To Lose Heart.
Special Wire To Sunday Light.
New York, Dec. 26-A special copy
righted cable to the World from its
Havana correspondent says:
The bullets that ended the earthly
career of Antonio Maceo, the Cuban
patriot and leader, bored their way
straight to the heart of the rebellion.
The insurgent bands that roamed
through the province of Pinar del Rio
are scattered now. They await the
coming of a leader in whom they have
confidence. They need the magne-
tism of a brave commander.
l met General Melquiso, the militia
ry head of the district and had long
and interesting talk with him. He
had Just returned from a fortnight's
expedition, through his territory. He
said he found no insurgents save in
groups of four or five. Most Of
the rebels. 'he said, shave hidden their
arms, and are posing as pacificos."
General Melquiso paid generous
tribute to Maceo. "His DEATH" he
saws. "was a terrible blow to the re-
bellion. His black followers sacri-
feed their homes in their devotion to
him. His white adherents are worth
less as fighting men. l found much
suffering among the people of the
hills. In many cases young children
brought into camp were so nearly
starved. that they could not retain
solid food"

MR.. DINGLEY TALKS.

Special Wire To Sunday Light
Washington, d. c., Dec. 26.-The
attention of Chairman Dingley, of the
Ways and Means committee having
been called to a dispatch stating that
''the eastern members of the ways and
means committee, led by Chairman
Dingley, are not disposed to look with
favor upon reciprocity" in framing
the new tariff, he said:
There is not the slightest founda
ton for this treatment 80 far as I
know. While the matter has only
been slightly discussed, yet have not
observed any material difference Of
opinion. On the contrary, all the Re-
publican members Of the committee
are in favor of going as far as the Nc
Kinley tariff did on this subject, and
further if practicable"

the voter neglected to select a candidate
for any Office.
The operation is remarkably simple.
The voter enters the booth, faces to the
right, and finds before him the names
of all candidates arranged before him as
on the ballot, all candidates for an Office
in a row, and all candidates of party in
a column. Each party has distinctive
color: republican, red; democratic,
blue; prohibition, white; and so on.
At the right of the machine are the
slides bearing the names of candidates.
In the middle are two parallel bars in
a vertical position, inclosing what is
known as the "voting space"
To vote it is necessary to place the
names of the candidates selected in the
voting space by sliding them along to
the left. The party ticket is first put in
position by means of lever. To split
the ticket the voter slides the names Of
candidates from any other parties into
the space afterwards, forcing out those
running for the same office on the
regular ticket. After arranging the
ticket before him as desired single
motion suffices to vote it as whole.
Every vote as cast is announced by
the machine, so that failure to vote is at
once detected. How the vote is thrown
is, however, known only 70 the man
within the booth. II is claimed that
the chance of mistake through ignor-
ance is totally removed.

A New Way OF Taking Your Best Girl for

The "lovers' wheel" has arrived. 1t

him closely, and, suspecting the mans
intentions were not right, marched
him into detective headquarters, where
he introduced Desk Sergeant Mcclure

excited and drew his revolver, remark
ing us he did so that he would kill the
mayor, who. he said, was an enemy of

Police officers grasped the weapon,

John c. Spooner will in all PROBABLE

Jacksonville, Fla, Dec. 26.-The sto-

or more Spanish cruisers and had dis
abled a gunboat created much talk
here today, but the correctness of it
is doubted, though. All admit that
the vessel was armed for business,
and that Captain Lewis would not
stand any nonsense if he had any
chance. That vessel ought to belong

Spanish cruisers would be valuable
acquisition to United States naval

Donkey Defends a Pony.

On a gentleman's estate in Pennsyl-

bought for little girl. When turned
out to Craze the other horses in the

every occasion. He fought nobly, but

a donkey taken sides with him. This
sturdy pair stood together like two
