cal garden follows:
4 site near possible to the centre OF popua-
ton
Ground that can be walked over without great

\ fine series Of collections of quadrupeds. birds

POINTS TO BE CONSIDERED
Mr. Hornaday also says that nearly every foreign
geological garden inspected and studied by him
possesses the following features: large restaur-
ant and concert-hall. and often small and cheap
restaurant-also the concert thall feature Is lacking
In the London Garden. and both that and the
restaurant are lacking In the Jardin des Plantes-
music to attract great crowds; flowers and plants
In profuson. abundant shade. direct and cheap
transportation the privilege OF exchanging sell
ing animals not desired for exhibition the right

ways that are open. the merit system respec ting
employees immunity from political Interference
the active interest and annual financial aid OF
either some hundreds or thousands of hrst-class
citizens. and the sympathy and moral support OF
the entire community surrounding each garden.
1t Is the pan Of the Newly ork Geological Society
however to establish not geological garden. but.
more strictly speaking. geological park. The diff
ference between garden and park is mainly
Of size. A geological garden is comparatively
small area OF ground generally the centre OF
population. and devoted to the exhibition OF ami
mails shown in small Enclosures or pens. zoolog-
cal park c)ntempatcs an area at least three times
as great that OF a garden. The animals shown
thus have greater liberty and the conditions sur
rounding them can be made much more like those
In which they are found I'm nature. The advantages
OF such plan obvious. The btffaloes for ex-

MORALS OF THE BATHTUB.
Hts Important Bearing Upon a Mans
MORTALITY and Business SUCCESS.


ut is very easy to find a direct onnec
ton between the cleanliness of a people
and their moral standard writes Ed
ward w. Box, editorially, of THE Morals
of the Bathtub,'' in the November La
dies Home Journal '.Of all the evter-
nal aids to a moral life none is 50 potent
as tidiness. An untidy man or woman
soon becomes a moral sloven. Let a man
be careless of MS surroundings, of his
companionships, of his dress. his general
appearance and of his bodily habits, and
it is not long before the same carelessness
extends into the realm Of his morals. We
are all creatures OF our surroundings, and
We work and act as we feel. If a man
lives in q home where carelessness or un-
tidiness in his dress is overlooked he very
soon goes from one mexactitude to anoth-
er. He very quickly loses himself. The
moral fibre of a man, fine of itself, can
soon become coarse if the influence Of his
external surroundings is coarse. 1 be-
lieve thoroughly in the effect of a mans
dress and habits of person upon his moral
character. I do not say that ~neatness of
appearance and cleanliness of person con-
stitute the gentleman or the man of
honor. But ! do say that they are potent
helps. And I would like to emphasize the
Importance of this belief upon the women
of our homes. For it is given them to
be an important factor in these helps to
the betterment of the worlds morality.
8 3 The man who makes a point of
keeping himself clean, and whose clothes
look neat, no matter how moderate of
cost they may be, works better, feels bet
ter,and is in every sense a better business
man than his fellow worker, who is dis
regardful of both his body and dress, or
either. He works at a distinct advantage.
The external man unquestionably in
fuences the internal man. 1 would give
far more for the work done by a man who
has the invigorating moral tonic of a
morning bath and the feeling of clean
linen than I would for the work done by
a man who scarcely washes, and rushes
into his clothes. > . The time spent
upon our bodies is never wasted; on the
contrary, it IS time well invested. A ma
chine of metal and steel must be clean
before it can do good work. So. too, the
human machine. A disregard of the body
n disorder in dress soon grow into
moral slovenliness."

PAR0ELING OUT THE OFFICES.
Rumors of the Republican Victory
Bring Ont the Spoils Seekers.

There is nothing being done at the
Court House today, except listening to
the explanations of statesmen from var
ious parts of the County as to how it all
happened. The Sheriff and his subordin-
ates had practically thrown up the sponge
and were almost willing to concede that
Heller was elected, although they chung
desperately to a lingering hope that some
thing miraculous might possibly happen
to turn the tide. No positive news had
been received from Hoboken or Bayonne,
and as the election officers in North
Hudson were still counting they thought
there was a are chance that Nj. Bald
win might pull through, and they would
not be obliged to move and look for other
Jobs.
The extra News went off like hot
cakes. Everybody was looking for it to
get the latest and most accurate returns.
About eleven O'Clock information reach
"a the Sherif's office by telephone that
the Republicans had elected a majority
Of the Freeholders, and within ten min
utes the offices controlled by that Board
were being parcelled out among the
statesmen who will be out of their other
JOBS IN a week or so. At least five candi-
Hates for the custodianship of the Court
House, now held by Mr.. Hogan, sprang
up in as many minutes. Shortly after
ward information came hat the Board of
treeholders will consist of 10 Democrats
and II Republicans, and the hopes of the
asptrants were dashed rndely to the
ground. The Freeholders have some very
lat patronage in their control, and if the
Republicans should get control there will
be some tall hustling among the officials
evieted from other places by the vote of
Inc people TO get snug places.

ELECTION
FRAGMENTS
THE VOTE IN HoB0KEN.
Toungss Majority still poubtful-
Baldwin Ahead.


The election in Hoboken was a great
surprise to both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis alike. The Republicans had no
idea that the city would give the vote it
did for the head of the ticket, and also
for the local candidates, although they
expected to lower the usual large Demo-
cratic majority In that city.
The fight was centered upon McEwan
and Young, the nominees for Congress.
The Republicans early in the evening
conceded the city to Young, the Demo-
cratic candidate, but by daylight they be-
gan to have hopes, and at eleven o'clock
when thirteen of the twenty precincts
had been heard from with a majority of
ZIG for McEwan, when they began to
think that they had actually carried the
city for the first time in its history.
But the seven remaining precincts, six
of which are in the Democratic strong
hold OF the city, win probably give Young
a majority of between $50 and 300, but
mot exceeding the latter figure and it
will be no great surprise If he does not
get more han 200.
Heller and Baldwin, upon which the
next great interest was centered, resulted
in a majority of IA for Baldwin out of
the same 13 precincts. while McKinley's
majority was only 3O7. Lillis, in the thir-
teen precincts has a majority over Wan
ser of 245, having run away ahead of his
ticket, and being the only Democrat with
a majority in the. unlucky thirteen.

IF YOU WANT A WIFE

The Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst, D.. D.,

Marriage to a certain oegree," he says,
"a young man is to look upon from a
utilitarian standpoint. A good wife is so
much capital. She makes him to be, by a
kind of grace, a great deal more than he
is by nature. She contributes the quail
ties needed in order to convert his vigor
into a safe as well as productive efficien-
cy. She introduces, for instance, into his
intellectual nature that ingredient Of SEN

to be able to do its best work. Heart and

BRYANITEs STEALING TEXAS.
Populfsts Said to Have Counted Out
the Mckinley Electors.

AUSTIN, Tex, Nov. 4, 1S96.-The coterie
of INSCRIPTIONS politicians whose machin-
atoms have so long retarded the progress
of Texas has been active once more
against law and patriotic effort. When
fair play failed to win them the stakes
they resorted to illegitimate efforts in or
der to keep the State under the control
of the men who have so nearly bankrupt
it. Until last night they had underesti-
mated the strength of their opponents.
When the returns began coming in they
were incredulous. Then they became
alarmed, and finally grew desperate. The
election machinery was still under their
control, however, and what they could
not do by fair means they attempted to
accomplish by fraud. They proceeded to
deliberately and wrongfuily count the
State out.
Later returns from the State are made
to show that Bryan and Sewell are likely
to have a plurality of from 10000 to 40. 900.
Culberson, the Democratic candidate for
Governor, claims to have secured the cleo
ton by 10000.
1t will be a week before the complete
returns will be known. Chairman Blake.
of the State Democratic Committee still
claims a majority of 1900 for the State
ticket, 100000 plurality for Bryan and
Seweli, and a full Congressional delega-
-Hon. These claims, however. are mphat-
ieally denied by Chairman Green and his
Republican associates. who maintain that
Mckinley has a plurality of $1,000 to 49,
Ve, and that kearby is elected Governor.
Mr.. Green also says that the Popocrats
can only regard the election of seven
congressman as certain.
At 3 o'clock this morning the Popocrats
conceded the Tenth and Twelfth Con-
gressionaI Districts to the Republicans
