LITTLE ROCK. Ark. September s.
The Democracy of ArEInsas yesterday
achieved the greatest victory in the his
tory Of the State.
Never before was such an overwhelm-
ing majority given any gubernatorial
candidate as that which was yesterday
given Gen. Dan w Jones, and ltver was
such a large vote polled in the State.
Conservative estimates based on partial
returns received now place the total vote
at $4,000 and give Jones clear majority
over all opposition combined Of from CO.OC0
to 5000.
The figures are coming I'm slowly and
many enthusiastic Democrats claim that
when the back counties are all in Joness
majority viii run above 70Ol0.
Many counties i'm Arkansas have 10
telegraph Offices and it will be several
days before the official returns are all in.
The unusual length Of the ticket makes
the process Of counting very slow.
Nearly all the counties and precincts
so far heard from show large Democratic
gains over the vote of two years ago.
Local option contests served TO bring
out a heavy vote I'm many districts.
In Pulaski county the increase In the
total vote cast was nearly so per cent.
over that of two years ago and correspond
ing Increases are reported from many 9TH
or counties
There were about 5000 votes cast in Pu-
laski county and the Democratic majority
will reach 1000.
License carried by about the same vote.
1t was a very quie. election. No disturb
ances of any kind have been reported and
only a few arrests were made.
The Republicans and Populists are max
ing no claims tonight but are awaiting
official returns.
Local tickets are In doubt in few coun-
ties. but in most cases the only question
is as to the size of the Democratic ma

r4crs aGaINsr BOY oRAroRY.

The Boy Orator loves 'the masses" and when he talks to farmers they are the masses. He lies awake nights weeping over the distressful condition of the farmers and he lies awake days trying to catch their votes. How he and other howlers have been lying about the condition of the farmers is indicated by some facts which have recently come to light concerning the condition of the farmers of Mime sota. Of course the farmers of Mime sota are not as prosperous as they want to be- Who is? But they are better off than some others of the Boy Ora tors loved masses. The public exam iner of Minnesota has prepared a table showing the comparative bank deposits in the different congressional districts in 1886, 1890, and 1896. St. Paul and Minneapolis are large components of the Fourth and Fifth districts. and in each of these cities the showing is worse for 1896 than for 1S9O-s20, ,355, ,S3S now against s2O,972,41 then in the St. Paul district, and only sis, 427, ,92S against S2O,OS2, ,4S1 in the Minneapolis district. The Sixth district also em- braces Duluth, the only other large city. and may be left out of account. The remaining four are almost wholly

HE IS FLYING HIGH.

The interesting and significant news comes from Washington that the Boy Orator is and means to be all there is to his wonderful campaign. There is said to be despair at the Popocratic headquarters because he declared, in re- sponse to some well intended sugges- tions, that he is destined to occupy the White House after the 4th of March next, and he expects that end to be ac- complished without the aid of party organization or any of the ordinary methods employed in political cam paigns He scorned all suggestions made to him by veterans in past cam paigns and laughed at friendly intima- tions that he might be carrying the sentimental idea too far Several of the most active workers in the Popo- cratic vineyard endeavored to give him an account of their stewardship up to date, and they were mortified be- yond expression when he dismissed them with an air of indifference He disputed the wisdom of their actions and remarked that he has no faith in what is termed practical politics He informed those leaders who called up- on him and offered their advice that he was not looking to them for | help, but that he had implicit 1 faith in his own election, and I that he was the chosen of the people, He declared that he was leading the | peoples cause, and would follow his | own convictions and own ideas as to | how the contest should be waged He i expressed contempt for ordinary polit- l ical methods, and declared his belief that his election would be accomplish ed without the aid of political machin- cry. He was remonstrated with for wasting so much time in the East, and l some of his managers are becoming alarmed over the condition of the cam
 paign in States where there is some
 hope of Democratic success. They
 want him to devote more time to the
 middle western States and to let the
 East alone. This advice was rejected by the candidate who told the leaders in effect that he knew what he was about, and that he believed that he could carry New York. He imagines himself a veritable Moses, and bslieves
 that he has been chosen to lead the
 people out of bondage. Proffers of as- sistance of various characters were
 either quietly ignored or openly re-
 jected.
 And so forth and SC on. Whom the
 gods would destroy they first affiict
 with the big head. When the Boy Ora
 tor finds that he is not destined to be
 president perhaps he will discover that
 he is destined to invent flying ma
 chine His present experience in high
 flying may then be useful to him.

agricultural having no large towns, The First embraces nine of the south eastern counties and shows an increase In deposits from $2,421 ,S06 in 1886 to $4,O51, ,979 in 1890 and $5,594S S95 in 1S96- an increase of 130 per cent. in ten years; the Second, comprising eighteen coun- ties further west, from $9266lS to $2,- 446,S41 and $4,712,S37-over 400 per cent; the Third, ten counties north of the Second, from $1,S9S,942 to $2S74,544 and $4, ,66S, ,S47-nearly 150 per cent: and the Seventh, sixteen counties in the Red River valley and the central western part of the state, from S1,159,700 to $l,- S5S,6O5 and $3,094079, almost ITO per cent. The conclusion from these fig ures Is that the farmers of Minnesota are getting better off every year, and that, while there are, of course, many individual cases among the farmers, especially in the purely wheat regions, Fof poverty and distress arising from successive losses of crops, bad man agement, improvident farming, etc, this plain, irrefutable testimony of the bank deposits shows that the farmers are, as a whole, far better off than the people of the cities.
 It is probable that similar condition of things prevails in other States. But what would the Boy Orators campaign be without the suffering farmer masses?

were acceded to. They claimed the lib- erty of all Armenians without condi- tions, the release of all Armenian pris- oners and their own pardon. If these demands were not granted within two days they would blow up the bank and all in it. Our envoys were then al lowed to depart and quilted the bank at 3:45 p. m., when by common agree ment hostilities were suspended be- tween the revolutionaries and the troops The commander of the troops then asked us to come out but we made it clear to him that it was impossible, as we were in the absolute power of the Armenians, and begged him to prevent his men from firing, as we were threatened by the Armenans should this take place. Then came a period of comparative calm, which the Arme- nians took advantage of to mature their plans. "-Correspondence London Times.

unveiled satin. Gowns made in this way have trains that sweep roundly, the tissue seeming to be entirely free from the satin. A wide girdle belt of satin binds the waist almost to the bust line, but if more becoming the belt may narrow in front to a mere point, while at the sides and the back it is bust high. The tissue softly swathes the figure above. At the throat there may be a high folded stock of satin with stiffened frilling and ruche of tissue about the face ol~the throat may be exposed, the top of the bodice being rounded away from 1t. Such cut at the neck is pretty with bridal gown cut just to touch at the hem White satin slippers, tight sleeves topped by puffs that seen tiny and met at the el- bows by long gloves, veil of still more delicate tissue; how could any girl fail to look pretty in such rig? And then to think how far from their best the average bride looks in board like satin and oyer-elaborated accesso- ries.
 A dainty notion as part of a bridal dress is girdle of pearls. The string about the neck has been worn till we are all tired to death of it. The newer way is to wire the pearls and bind them about the waist to the bust line, the soft tissue showing between the laps of the pearl rope. A clasp of sil- yer with pearl pendants will finish the girdle at the left just above the bust line. Pearls will be much used on this winters bridal dresses-that is if the brides can supply them.

The jacket bodice was a marvelously fine fit, and it's revers opened over vest of plain black satin. Ornamental buttons were put upon the pointed sleeve cuffs and upon the rev. CTS. The arrangement of braid upon the skirts side panels was new and particularly attractive.

 There is no occasion for any excite ment over the decrees recently promul- gated by the Catholic Diocesan synod at St. Louis, Dr. Rocker, secretary of the Papal legation at Washington, says, It was simply reiteration of the decrees issued by the Baltimore Council several years ago. The decrees which attracted most attention were those directing Catholic parents to send their children to parochial schools and forbidding Catholics to sing in the choirs of Protestant churches. To both rules, according to Dr. Rocker, there are exceptions. Catholic parents, he says, would be justified in sending their children to a public school if that school was superior to the parochial school, or if at the parochial school @ charge for tuition was made which they were unable to pay, or if, when their child had been accepted as a free scholar, any distinction was made be- tween their child and other children. Singing in Protestant choirs, Dr. Rocker explains, is to be permitted as means of livelihood, the regulation being aimed at what he calls the abuse #of Catholics joining Protestant church choirs purely for social reasons.

SLAIN BY A LUNATIC.

A Man Goes Crazy, Makes His rs
cape and Shoots Down an Unsus-
pecting Man.
At Atlanta, Ga, lost Friday, P. b. Osborne,
a lunatic, escaped from his home and shot
and killed Theodore Shrader ON the corner
of Lloyd and Alabama streets. Shrader wac
foreman of lithograph company. He had
left his work and was on his way home. Os-
borne met him, and without warning drew
a pistol and shot him i've times, killing him
almost instantly. The men did, not know
sssh 9.ssf QsR9Ens % Ess ip the so he o1ss Wss
released, the doctors thinking that he had
recovered.
On Monday he was married and day or
two later his family noted that he was grow.
ing violent again. His father had arranged
for judicial investigation, In order that the
young man could be returned to the State
asylum. While the father was absent Os-
borne escaped from his home, having socu red
pistol. He had declared that he intended
to kill some one, and officers were sent out
to look for him. Osborne went to the union
passenger station and spent IN hour or more
there. About o'clock he walked nff apid-
ly and after passing hundred people, shot
Shrader on tho insane impulse. Osborne
stood still and waited until n policeman ar
rested him. There Is no doubt about his IN
sanity. Shradcr |, aves n family
