REOoUNTS ARE FINISHED.
All Signs Of the Contest Removed
from the Court House.

The Supreme Court room has resumed
its normal appearance today. There are
no politicians there, no ballot boxes and
rome of the accessories of the recount
which was begun last Thursday and cons
t:nued until yesterday afternoon. The air
IS no longer filled with the monotonous
cries of the Heller. one, Lillis
one, Baldwin one, Wanssr one followed
by the echoes of the tallynen. What eff
feet the decision of Justice Lippinectt
will have on contested seats in the Board
of Fireeholders remains to be seen. No
change will be made in the political COM
plexion of the Board unless Justice LIP
pincott should decides that Kearny is en-
titled to two member and seats Matthews.
The only other question which depends
On disputed ballots is whether Lynch OF

in West Hoboken has wen. The counting

the recount. The total was~:-Eichhorn,

among the candidates as follows: Eichhorn

If all the disputed ballots for Eichhorn
were rejected he would still have a ma

decided is whether Lynch or Boehler will
have the other seat. 1t is possible for
the disputed ballots to affect the result

temperance lecturer who is spoken of as

citizens toward their children, and said that

actions of their children in later years.
During his address he praised President
Cleveland for prohibiting the sale of liquor
to the African children. and then spoke of
the Legislatures of the United States, telling
that if the legislators did their duty they
would pass awsprohibiting the sale of the
cursed rum altogether.
The lecture was held under the auspices of
the Young Mems League of the church.

NIOKNAMBs FOR MONEY.
d Names Given the Small Coins
We Jingle In Our Pockets.

Few people. says the st. Louis Post
Dispatch. realize that every piece of mon
ey has a nickname. 1t has, however, and
some Of the names are very odd The
500 note has but one nickname, but it e
ceedingly appropriate as well as dignffed.
1t needs no more, for there are thousands
in this country who nave never seen a
note of this denomination.
Everyone has seen small change though,
and the commonness of this species of
money has suggested scores of s~obriquets,
appropriate and the reverse, grave and
gay, effusively funny and humorously
pathetic. The nickel as a name was
suggested by tne common idea that this
metal entered largely into the compost
ton of the coin. 1t is a misnomer, as the
piece consists of % per cent. of copper
and only % per cent. of the metal which
gave it g name.
Car fares" a slang name for the same
piece, illustrates the universally of this
method of transportation, while chicken
feed as a name 10 only for scent pieces
but also for other small change. undoubt-
eddy came from rural districts. clipper
up suggests q frequent use to which the
nickel is placed in certain circles.
"Pennte4 and "~picayuness Indicate the
contempt, more pretended than real, into
which our smallest coins have fallen. The
latter name, Ike .'bit." preserves a NOR
sci of history not familiar to general read
ers- "Picayune," now used as a synonym
for the smallest value expressed in money
terms, was once the name of a special
coin. 1t was worth about one-half cent,
and at che time during the Colonial days,
when all sorts. of coins passed current at
all sorts Of valuations, circulated along
the Atlantic coast.
The .bit,n 10 only a money of account
and most familiar In the well-known form
TWO bits a synonym for the 25-cent
piece, was also known at one time as a
coin equal in value to one-half the Span
ish pistareen, and when supplanted by
our familiar quarter" the name remained
long after the coins had disappeared.
Shilling has now finally disappeared from
use, save along the Canadian border,
where prices are frequently made in both
kinds of money, but the .sbit'' we have
still with US.

THE DEMON OF r
He Robs the Great American People
of Flesh. Energy and Good DIges-


The one thing the American people
never do is to rest.
Nearly everybody we meet seems tc be
in a Continual state of nervous excitement
or possessed of a feverish energy to finish
what they are about and get on to other
work; that is why so many people lose
their health, energy and ambition, become
thin and dyspepsia or fall victims to ner-
yous exhaustion.
We live in a hurry, eat in a hurry, and
sleep in a hurry, and it is not surprising
that we finally break down. 1t is for this
reason that most of US stand in constant
need of something to build up the sys-
tenn, and enablelus to stand the severe
strains to which we are subjected.
As a means of preventing the debnitat-
ing effects of worry and overworh, many
eminent physicians recommend the use of
a pure stinulant at meal time. Fure
malt whiskey has been found to give the
best results, an experiments have proved
that the safest and best of all WHISTLES
is DEffy's pure malt. This is because it
is no ordinary whiskey but a pure
medicinal stimulant which gives stimula-
tive nourishment to the whole body. Its
health-giving effects are speedily shown
in a clear skin, a brighte complexion.
and increased strength.
Enquire, and you will be surprised TO
fine how many friends of yours are also
friends of Duffy's pure malt whiskey.

A Bondfni.

A pretty. American girl visited Paris
early in the summer under the great
advantages of the ehaperonage and guild
ance of an artist brother, who happened
to be in the French capital at the same
time as herself.
In this way she was taken to several
studios and met several noted painters,
besides having the opportunity to study
their work more intimately thai would
be possible to most foreign travellers
without such introductions as were hers.
But, aside from this, her W charm
and sweet manner must nave done a
good deal, as in the case Of the famous
Bondini, himself. who actually presented
her at parting with a delightful sketch,
in his most characteristic style-a wom-
ans head, chic and e-apivating-in-
scribing it with his autograph and the
recipients name. 1t now is adorned with
an appropriate frame and takes a prom
inent part in the girls home drawing
room. Il believe my artist brother was
a little bit jealous she declares, laugh
ing. when he say my trophy. He grum-
bled out something about it's not being
It."
But. then. the brother. with all his
appreciation, is not a pretty American
girl.-Philadelphia Press.
