Hitherto all life-saving stations have

cue work is needed, the surf renders it
impossible to launch boat from shore,
even though the crew are confident that
they could keep it right side up if they
could once get safely beyond the line

has, therefore, been proposed to have
floating station, anchored out from
shore at suitable distance. This would
be attended with extra expense and
some additional inconvenience, but it
would obviate the special difficulty just
referred to. The fact is, rescue work
is needed quite as often when it is blow

Eyes of Men and Women.

Men have light eyes often.r than
women; but in the intermediate grade
of color between light and dark the per-
centage of the two sexes is very nearly,
though not quite, the same. In this in
termediate category are brown and
hazel eyes, neither pure light nor genu-
inc black. The percentage of these
among men is 43.1, and among women
45.1. The percentage of dark, Or more
properly, black eyes, is larger among
women, being 20.7 per cent. of the whole
number. while among men it is 1913.
Perhaps it is the relative rarity of dark
eyes among men which establishes the
;rle that dark-eyed men are esteemed
by women to be more fortunate in the
color of their eyes than blue-eyed men.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
RICHMOND, Va, November 24.-The de-
cision of the state electoral board Ito count
the vote Of Buckingham county for Jacob
Yost, the republican congressional candi-
date for the tenth district. because the
clerk of the county certified to the votes
polled as having been cast for Jacob Yost
instead of J. Yost. as his name appears on
the official ballot. has created nothing
short of political sensation here. AL
though The clerk followed his first report
by an amended abstract calling. attention
to his error the board, by a vote of three
to one. refused to accept the corrected re-
port, and threw out the LOO votes for
Yost in that county, changing his majority
of 700 in the district to 800 for his opponent
II. d. Flood. -
Governor O'Ferrall alone among the four
members of the beard present protested
against this action, and claimed that the
clerk was the only man who was authorized
to correct such an error. and that the
amended report was the proper one to az
ceDt.
Auditor Marye, Treasurer Harmon and
Secretary of the Commonwealth Lawiess
maintained that they must adhere to the
original report.
Gen Edgar Allen representing Yost. ne
ttioned the supreme court of appeals of
Virginia this morning for a mandamus to
compel~the board to count these votes for
Ycst, but in the absence of one of the
Judges he asked continuance until Friday
and leave to amend his petition, which
amendment is with view of making It a
federal instead of state matter in order
to get 1t In tine United States courts
The action of the board Is the chief sub
ject of conversation everywhere today and
many reports are current in connection
with the affair.

THE TURKEY MARKET.
Supplies Kept Back on Account Of the
Weather.

Supplies Kept Back on Account Of the
Weather.
The continued warm weather has caused
many of the poultry ra!sers in Tennessee
and southwestern Virginia to refrain from
shipping their stock to Washington, as was
the case in former years just previous to
Thanksgiving day, and in consequence the
supplies in the hands of dealers here are
light.
Turkeys range In price at retail from 12l.
to Is cents per pound, especially pretty"
birds-that is, plump and fat ones-bringing
the latter figure. though very good fowl
can be bought at the former price.
These are all from nearby points In
Maryland and Virginia, where, it is said
not so much care is used in the raising of
turkeys and other poultry is is exercised
by those who make a business of it in the
other states named.
Chickens and geese bring about the same
prices, though the latter are very scarce
and ducks are quoted at IA to 10 cents per
pound
.,eA.ers say that they are doing COM
paratively little business today, but ex-
pect trade to be lively tomorrow. There is
a plentiful supply but not more than q
normal demand for other Thanksgiving
supplies, and Cape Cod cranberries are SELL
Ing for 10 cents per quart, mince meat 10
cents per pound, or two pounds for q quar-
ter of a dollar cftron Is cents per pound
and nuts of all sorts at about the same
figure.

Situation at nm Extra Ses-
sion an This Winter.

Senator Jones of Arkansas arrived In
Washington yesterday afternoon. and met
with the committee on free alcohol in the
arts today.
He said to Star reporter that he did

cial legislation at this session.

Il do not see how hey can. They will be
situated then much as they will be this
winter. Some will want TO do one thing
and some another. Some now want to try
to pass the Dingley bill and others don't
want to. They do not agree as to what
they want to do"
''Do you think they will be able to re-
organize the finance committee. which is
now in the hands of the silver menu
Il do not think they will 1t is difficult
to say with certainty how that may come
cut, but do not think they can change the
complexion of that committee"
Silver Leaders TO Confer.
The Senator said that there had been no
formal conference of the silver men as yet,
and no definite call had been made for one.
They would confer. he said. soon as they
all got here. He thought there would be
conference between all the silver men
and also between the democrats only. He
could not say just what would be done
about permanent silver headquarters.
whether there would be one here not.
but said it was certain that their organi-
cation would be kept together and the fight
would be kept up.
There would surely be some place from
which the work would be done. Speaking
to capture the next democratic national
convention, he said:
IF they were not able to capture the
convention when they were in the party
how can they hope to do SO after they have
left the party and forfeited the right to
vote at democratic primaries?"
