VnTE RIVER JUNCTION, VT, Sept. p
M Green Mountain state declared for

gcernor and for the Republican state
tket entire by majority that equaled
ne prediction Of the most confident Re
tlblican managers. The count in all sec
sons of the state shows substantial Re
publican gains and indicates that the ma
jority for the Republican state ticket will
be about 33, O00 II. Henry Powers, the
Republican congressional candidate in the
First district and William w. Grout in
the Second are both reelected by in
creased majorties, and the state senate and
bouse are In the control of the Republic
ans by practically the samo majority as
two years ago Tho weather generally
was cool and fair throughout the state
and brought out the hundreds of Repub-
lican voters who have not been to the polls
for years. Practically the full Republic
an vote was cast. ON the other hand, the
lack of organization in the Democratic
ranks was very apparent. Many Dem
ocrats who do not indorse the platform
Of the Chicago convention remained away
from the polls, while the moro dissatisfied
ones voted for the Republican ticket. The
antagonism to Grout resulting from the
convention which nominated him, which,
it was claimed, would develop in the vote,
was not in evidence to any great extent.
The Republican managers claim that
the result Is significant and shows opposi-
tion from all sides TO the Democratic cur
rency principles, but the Democrats main
tain that the increased Republican major
ity was expected, and 70 would have been
very surprising If it had failed to develop.
The Republican state ticket elected it as
follows:

BICYCLE NOTES IN BRIEF.

In a single day two Chicago detec-
tives recovered nineteen bicycles which
had been stolen.
Blotting paper handles now absorb
the attention and the perspiration of
the faddish wheelman.
Italian amateurs never ride under
their own names, preferring to assume
others for racing purposes.
San Francisco has an ordinance pro-
hibiting the jeopardzing of the lives OF
children under 6 years Of age by taking
them out riding on bicycles.
Australians have sure cure for
scorching. The judges fine every Of
fender $50. A second dose is never
needed to completely cure the patient.
Olive oil and vaseline are good rem
edes for the skin when burned by the
sun. Cloths dipped in water in which
baking soda has been dissolved and
laid on the smarting cheeks and fore
heads also afford speedy relief.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Stove polish mixed with vinegar and
small biz Of sugar VIII gain addition
al and more lasting luster
Turpentine mixed in the black lead,
and brushed over greasy stoves, is
very effectual in cleansing them.
Keep cheese, when you have a large
piece, in cool, dry place, and wipe off
any mold that appears. The cheese
should be constantly turned from side
to side.
The longer baby's feet are kept in
wooden shoes the better. Even the
earliest kid shoes often begin to distort
them, unless extremely well shaped,
and these good shapes are not to be
found in cheap and common shoes.
The first time meat is given to an in
valid 1t should be slice from we'll
cooked joint-mutton is to be preferred
to beef. Cut the meat up finely and
serve it with gravy and salt, potato
mashed up by the side. II it is allowed
by the doctor, but on no account mixed
with 1t.
To store brass bedstead so that 1t
will not get spoiled wipe it with vase
line and then envelope it in soft rags.
The vaseline should be put on thickly
and a common kind will answer the
purpose. Thoroughly sprinkle all stuff
fed furniture (underneath) with tur-
pentine before storing it.
If you suspect an escape of gas mix
one pound Of soap with three and
half pints of water, then apply this
sticky liquid with brush to the gas
pipe, when, il an escape is taking place,
bubbles will readily be seen on the Ii
quid and the position of the escape
thus indicated without danger.
