oniv On, Candidate For mayor.

Taunton, Mass, Dec. 9.--The city elec-
tieH- here yesterday was an unusually
quiet one, as there was only one candi-
date for mayor. N. j. w. Fish. the NOM
ince Of the Republican convention. and
also the candidate on nomination papers.
There was no exciting contest for the city
council. The foremost question was that
contained in a resolve that it was ex-
yedlent for the city to own it's own eicc-
trio lighting plant. There was a great
6csl of interest in the outcome OF the
vote on this question. and early returns
apparently showed defeat of the meas
ure. Later returns reversed this, and
the question is Carried by majority OF
i92, with q total vote Of 1862 yes TO 17G0
TO. Five Of the eight wards were carried
for municipal lighting, but II was ward
s. with a majority OF 12s. which decided
the day. The yes vote for license was
the largest I'm the city's history, the
plurality being 133. The vote was

Boston, Dec. 9.-National and state
politics cut but little figure In the mu-
hicipal elections held yesterday in Is
cities of the. commonwealth. and. with
few exceptions, the appellatjon "Rcpubli-
can" and Democrat" was missing In
nearly all the cities party caucuses have
been the exception and not the rule, can
dllates being placed In nomination, ir-
respective OF party. through nomination
papers.
The A. r. A. was scarcely a factor in
any of the contests, and even in Somer-
vile, where the order Is supposed to be
very strong, and where II has opposed
the election OF Mayor Perry, its opposi-
tion to him was only of a negative char
acter, over 1900 blank ballots being cast.
In Worcester Colonel Samuel T.. Wins
low again had his aspiration for political
preference defeated. and General
Sprague, the citizens nominee. was
elected over the Republican candidate
by over 1000 majority.
In Gloucester there was also hot con-
test. and the present mayor was defeated.
With the exception of Havcrhill and
Fall River. there was little change in
the license vote over las. year. In Fall
River the vote for license was increased
over 2CO0. but in Haverhill, through the
strong efforts Of the clergy. the city
changed from a license TO one against
the sale of intoxicating liquors.

Bacteria and Nervous Diseases.

Another very large proportion OF
cases of nervous disease is due directly
or indirectly to the action of different
forms of bacteria, or disease germs.
Nealy all the forms of meningitis or
brain fever are due to the direct action
OF different forms of bacteria upon tic
membranes that cover the brain. Other
forms of nervous disease are now
thought to be of infectious nature, due
to some infectious nature, due to sorSa
specific organism. Others still are due
to the action of poisons produced by
the germs of other diseases. There is.
for example, a form of paralysis which
not infrequently follows diphtheria.
which is due, not to any weakness of the
nervous system, but to the action of
the diphtheritic poison upon the peri
phera nerves. Similar forms of naralv-
sis may follow smallpox, typhoid fever.
pneumonia or influenza. MANY of tho
diseases of the spinal cord are of similar,
origin. Locomotor ataxia and genera,
paresis, two common and fatal diseases
are in most cases the result of one of
these infectious Giseases.-Dr. PbilinC
Knapp, in Century.

DO Diamonds Breed

One of the queerest of the old-time su.
perstitions was the one that is RESPONSE
BILE for the notion that pearls and Ola.
mcnds breed" like animals do. Rues
says: LAS for what know concerning
the reputed story that precious stones
are divided into sexes, male and female,
just as are plants and animals, and thai
they breed like the latter do. I rela :.
the following, which came under nv
own knowledge: A certain princess Of
Luxembourg had two diamonds. tb,
colors of which betokened that tbey
we're male and female. The princes
laughed at the notion until one dav she
was startled by finding a tiny speck OF
o diamond in her casket. She put the
two large diamonds and the little one
away together, and they had a whols
family in a reasonable course of time :.
y similar tale is also told by 2oethius

"HOW BE YE, JiM?"

''How be We, Jim?" That sunny voice
Comes back through the misty years.
And see the grace Of an old mans face
Smile up through his happy tears.
Long time he strays down the quiet ways
Where the path is strange and dim.
But keep the cheer Of his love and hear
His words: How be vc. Jim?'
There came to me as comes to all
The voice Of Purpose when
lost the Joy Of careless boy
For the broad. bold world OF men.
And the skies we're glad or dark or SAD;
My thoughts ran back to him
TIL we met once more at the old home
door.
And he said: How be We. Jim?"
Sometime in the far of by and by.
When the years are old and gray,
/ shall wander down from the busy town.
Though that sweet and quiet way.
shall find the rills from the rose-croWnco
hills.
And drink from their blissful brim;
And the best Of all. shall hear him cali
And say: How be we, JIM?

Her freedom was in the service of the
family with which she had Sc long been

of her race went off in frenzied delight
to enjoy that freedom newly found and
reach out for new conditions, Martha
remained quiet in her demeanor, undis-
turbed in her faithful devotion.
Soon afterwards Col. Howard moved
to New York. Martha was carried with
