When we think what this must have

barbaric attempts at ornament and
what St. Sophia is, with the most beau

structed and richness of finely devised

The Philadelphia Record tells Of q
schoolteacher who was instructing q
class Of boys in geography. Everything
went well until, in order to make the
matter palmer, she took an ordinary
globe and, pointing to the portion con-
tanning the United States, asked her
class where she would come out if she
should start from Philadelphia and go
straight through the earth. She knew
they would all say China but she
wanted to see which of her scholars
would answer first She waited fully a
minute and no answer came. Away back
In the room grimy hand was finally
held up. "Well, David, she asked,
where would come out if should 60

The silence was growing thicker every
second. PLEASE, Miss Maude, you
would come out Of the hole, was the
reply, and the class in geography was
dismissed for the day.

The state Carried BY the Usual Demo.
cratic Majority.


Montgomery, Ala, Aug. 6.-The
sise of the Democratic majority seems
all that remains in doubt, with regard
to the result Of today's election. Be-
cause Of the slow counting under the
new ballot law. returns are necessarily
slow in coming in, but there is no
doubt Of a complete Democratic VIC
tory. Incomplete returns from about
half the counties 30 far received indi.
cate Democratic gains in all but Mo-
bile and Macon. In the former, the
Democrats appear to have lost some
500 votes by stay.athomes, but the
county is still in the Democratic col-
umn by 500 majority. In Macon
county, which gave Oates majority
of 500 in 1894, the result is close and
doubtful.
The Populists. on the other hand,
have carried Tuscaloosa county by
1000 majority. 1t gave Kolb 400 ma
jority two years ago. Marshall county,
which went for Kolb by 600. is close,
and probably Democratic. Lee county.
which had Populist majority of 500,
Is like Marshall. Chambers county,
with 400 majority for Kolb in 1894,
is in the Democratic column. Talla.
poosa county, with 900 majority for
Kolb at the last election, is close, and
may be Democratic. Fayette. another
Populist county, is in the doubtful
column, as are also Coosa and DeKalb.
In the counties which Governor
Oates carried two years ago, there have
been increased majorities in all SO far
heard from, except two.
