Zenship on account of his failure to reg
lister beforehand. He was required to
take oath at this place, giving the num-
Der OF his residence and to the effect
that he had lived in the state for more
than year, in the county of Lancaster
for more than four months, and in the
Fifth ward for more than ten DAYS,
that he was qualified voter and that
his failure to register was due to his alb.
sence from the state.
He then proceeded to the engine
house, in precinct A of the Fifth ward,
where he was given ballot, retired to
his booth and returning to the voting
place, cast his ballot in his order.

didate.
When Mr.. Bryan was about to vote
one OF the election challengers raised
his voice to suggest that 'as mark of
respect of your fellow citizens we all
take off our hats. -
The suggestion met with the unani-
haps 200 men who stood outside the
roped Enclosure which held the election
functionaries. The casting of the bal
lot was received with applause, and,
after shaking hands with the election
official nearest him, Mr.. Bryan wedged
his way out through the crowd, dodg-
ing the engine horses and again taking
his seat i'll his carriage he was driven to
his home.
Mr.. Bryan's homecoming was a
modest ovation. He was met at the
railroad station by large escort of the
Bryan home guards, consisting largely
of farmers, who received him with q
shout of welcome as he descended from
the steps of his carriage, the accom-
panying band playing Home, Sweet
Home" The guard and miscellane-
Gus concourse of people followed in pro-
cession as the carriage wound its way
through the streets. The sidewalks
were lined with people and there were
many shouts along the way for the
Democratic standard bearer, inter
spersed quite frequently with cries for
his opponent.
1t was indeed an imposing home COM
ing when William J. Bryan reached his
residence. A large number of his
neighbors and friends were assembled
in front of the house to receive him,
and as the procession drew up before
these the Bryan home guard formed a
line reaching from the street to his door.
The band started the air which the
nominee has asked to be the campaign
air, ''Home, Sweet Home" and when
at last he reached the house a mighty
shout went up from over thousand

Secretary Herbert to Order In
portant Evolutions.
ADMIRAL BUNCE TO COMMAND.
The Most Formidable squadron Under
One Command since the War to be
Assembled i'm American Waters-Great
ManOeuyres and Drills to Occur.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct, 31.-It
is understood to be the intention of
Secretary Herbert to have the North
Atlantic squadron undertake a more
extensive series of name and drills
than has yet been attempted as soon
as the ships can be made ready under
the direction of Admiral Bunce. The
experience gained in the evolutions
of the past summer and this fall have
resulted so satisfactorily in the edu-
cation of officers and men in the
handling in combination of warships
that the department feels justified in
putting them to still greater tasks
and unless there is change in the
program, and it should be abandon
ed from fear of a misunderstood
ing of the purpose, which is in no
sense warlike, the coming winter will
see the assemblage Of the largest and
most formidable squadron, which
has been under one command in
American waters since the war.
The word has gone out to push
steadily the work of completing all
the ships which can be ready within
a reasonable time, and as many vessels
will be put in commission as can be
manned. The North Atlantic squad
ron will be reinforced by tho addi-
ton of such powerful craft as the
monitor Puritan and armored cruiser
Brooklyn. 1t was intended to pat
the Newark out of commission, bnt
orders have gone out to have her re
paired at Norfolk within 80 days
without laying up the ship, which
will then be attached to the squad
ron.

ton. At o'clock Major Mckinley re-
tired for his supper, while the receiving
of returns proceeded. Up to that time
he had made no comment on the re-
turns further than TO say that the bulk
of them came from the east thus far.
In the parlor, across the hall, Mrs. Nc
Kinley and her near relatives and
friends received the returns. 1t was a
trying ordeal for her, as she had been
in bed with the grippe up to early
evening, but was determined to be
about.
By o'clock the character of private
dispatches and general returns reaching
the Mckinley home were such that
feeling OF absolute confidence took
possession of those centered in the
majors library. The officials at the
Chicago headquarters tsent frequent
private messages to Major Mckinley.
each one swelling the total Of states
certain for the Republican candidate.
The detailed returns which were
read as theg came appeared TO bear out
the claims from headquarters, and the
spirit of victory achieved was on every
lip. Governor Mckinley bad joined
his, wife and aged mother in the parl0r
across the hall, which was closed up to
the general pnbl1c. At . O'Clock the
major emerged from the parlor and
handed Mr. Cooper private dispatch
just received to be read. Ii was from
Garrett A. Hobart, vice presidential
candidate, who at this early hour felt
that victory was Won and telegraphed
his congratulations.
There was round of applause from
the group within the library as Mr.. Ho-
bart's word were read. Soon thereafter
Major Mckinley came from the parlor
and joined the crowd in the outer
room. His face now wore unmistakable
looks Of satisfaction, and he smiled and
chatted with those about him ON the
favorable character of the reports. He
was not yet ready, however, to express
his own judgment on the result, al
though it was evident he shared the
general feeling of confidence that he
had carried the day. He spoke with
surprise at the definiteness of the re-
| turns at this early hour. and attributed
to the perfected methods employed in
getting anG handling the returns.

party. Ohio has given very large Re-

column, although later returns may not

strative expressions. The major was IN
harry mood and received the congratu-
lations with a pleasant remark to each
of the cal ers. To none of them, how
ever, die lie give any indication that he
was convinced of his election.
He turned back to the library and
shook his head disapprovingly at the
efforts to have him express his belief
that the fight was won. He would
reach no premature Judgment, he said,
and up to that time none of the con-
gratulatory kilograms had been an
swered by him.
The returns were interrupted by the
reading of stirring personal telegram
from Chairman Mark Hanna at Cleve-
land to Mckinley.
At ls:3 Mckinley received ire
mendous ovation from his Canton
townspeople. He took a position on
top of the porch of his residence and
waived his salutations to the enthusiast
tic concourse. The midnight was light
as by hundreds of fiambeau and blaz-
ing fires Of red and green. Major Nc
Kinley made no address. For an hour
the remarkable spectacle proceeded.
The whistles OF all the factories joined
in one long continued screech which
echoed throughout the town. Mingled
with this was the booming of cannon,
the firing OF guns and pistols, and the
shouts from thousands of threats. The
crowd was massed solidly for three
squares down Market street.

LIVING SKELETON.


SHEPHERDsTowS, w. Va, Oct. 81.
The nineteen year-old daughter Of
Mrs. Daniel Smith, a widow living
near Shephefdstown took to her bed
two years ago with d malady which
the physicians could not diagnose.
Her form wasted away until she was
a mere skeleton. Apparently she
suffers no pain.
Up to two months ago she partook
of food, but since that time has re-
fused to eat.
DIR. Harry Wade, Of Boonsboro,
Md, attended until he died, when
his brother, DIR. Hubert Wade, took
the case. All he has given her is
whisky injected hypodermically.
A few days ago, it is said, she
was seen walking around the room.
and there is suspicion that when
no one is around she procures food.
NO one supposed she had strength
enough toleaye the bed, and watch

.1lA CROWD
ATTENDED THELAST RALLY.
Fights and Squabbles the Chief Attrac-
tiOuS

The last rally held here Friday by
the Republicans is somewhat on the
order of ancient history as the cam
paign is closed and the election al
ready held; not as matter of news
we will attempt to describe it. The
weather was all that could have been
asked and as there had been stupen-
dous efforts to arouse the people. to
come out, they came out. The crowd
was a very large one and was esti-
mated at from four to eight thous-
and in Republican newspapers. A
very nicely uniformed club from Nc
Keesport attended and made quite a
good impression on our citizens.
They were accompanied by band
of thirty pieces which played fairly
well. The crowd was in the main
composed of curiously inclined peo-
pie who did not want to hear stump
speeches and they did not listen to
the speakers. Ex-senator Wiley
presided over the meeting. The
speakers were A. C. Wade, Of New
York, Warren B. Hooker, Chairman
of the river and harbor committee
and A. G. Dayton. As the election
is over there is no need to criticise
nor comment on the speeches. Suf-
flee it to say that after the meeting
leading Republican remarked that
the only speech that had been de-
livered here this year was the one
made by Judge Lansing. Only
about 300 people listened to the
speakers, who were broken down
from severe campaigning. Senator
Ellxins had been advertised to APP
pear but owing to the serious illness
Of his son did not come. The deco
rations were very elaborate those on
the Peabody Hotel probably the
most pretentious. After the speak
ing was over fights and squabbles
galore took place. Our friends the
enemy are to be congratulated on
the large crowd that was present.
