An Aneedote by marx Twain.

Mark Twain writes for the Novem-
Der Century a tribute to his fellow
townsman the late James Hammond
Trumbull. Mr.. Clemens relates the
following anecdote:
Years ago, as have been told, a
widowed descendant of the Audubon
family, in desperate need, sold a per-
feet copy Of Audubon's "Birds" to
commercially minded scholar in Am
erica tor a hundred dollars. The
book was worth a thousand in the
market. The scholar complimented
himself on his shrewd stroke of bust.
ness. That was not Hammond Trum-
bulls style. After the war lady
in the far South wrote him that a.
mong the wreckage of her better days
she had book which some one had
told her was worth a hundred dollars,
and had advised her to offer it to him;
she added that she was very poor,
and that if he would buy it at that
price, it would be q great favor to
her. 1t was Elliot's Indian Bible.
Trumbull answered that if it was a
perfect copy it had an established
market value, like a gold coin, and
was worth q thousand dollars; that
II she would send it to him he would
examine it, and if it proved to be
perfect he would sell it to the British
Museum and forward the money to
her. 1t did prove to be perfect, and
she got her thousand dollars without
DELAY, and intact.

Complete Figures Do Not Materially

New YORK, Nov.5E 4.-Returns from
the state and city elections do not
change the result already announced.
Returns from all the counties in the
state indicate plurality of more than
$1,000 for Alton s. Parker, DEM, for
chief judge Of the court of appeals.
His plurality in Greater New York is
S3,058. Van Wyck, the Tammany
candidate fcr mayor of New York, has
81, ,548 plurality over Seth Low and
l18, ,40i over General Tracy. The state
Legislature remains Republican. The
netnxas demonstrate that the Rspub-
lean landslides 4 of the past two
years have been reversed, if not by Civ.
Ing a. large majority for the Democrats,
at least by changing something like
240, 900 votes. Governor Blacks plu.
rality in the state last year was over
200, 600. John Palmer, the Republican
secretary of state, won the year pre-.
vious bysoyer 1000 The indications
are that these enormous pluralities have
been swept away and a reverse plural
ity Of, between 10000 and $1,000 is
given. The greatest surprises Of the
returns are the great gains made in the
assembly by the Democrats, many Of
them being in counties and districts
where there was no expectation on the
part of Democratic managersof Of win.
ming. Republicans explain these gains
by attributing them to the heated mu-
nicipal campaigns and the trading Of
votes. The morning returns indicate
that the Republicans still control the
assembly, although by largely de.
creased majority.

ANDERSON LAW o. X.
Dsciaion Against Railroads In the Noted
Minnesota Case.

Dsoiaion Against Railroads In the Noted
Minnesota Case.
BRAINERD, Mimi, Oct. 80.-Judge
Holland has rendered his decision In
the Anderson railroad land tax case.
This case has been pending in the dis.
triot court since Sept. "a. The decision
is in favor Of the plaintiff and against
the railroads. It is very lengthy and
exhaustive and embraces the history of
acts Of congress and legislatures of
Minnesota granting lands to aid in the
construction Of railroads, and gives tho
history Of the st. Paul and Duluth rail.
road from its origin.
The main point in the decision 10 that
the lands are not necessary to, and are
not used in, the actual management
and operation Of any of said railroad
companies.
The case will be settled eventually in
the United States supreme court.
Judge Holland has given the case q
great deal Of consideration and arrived
at his decision only after the most care
ful and mature deHberation. The de.
cision upholds the legality and consti.
tutionality of the "And erson law" and
grants the writ asked for.

LITERARY NOTES.

On the 9Th day of Oct. more than
10000 students were on the rolls as
members of the first freshman class
Of the Cosmopolitan University. The
confusion into which the plans re-
garding the Cosmopolitan's educa.
tional work were thrown BY the re.
tirement of President Andrews, In
order to meet the urgent wishes of
his friends at Brown University,
has been met by the acceptance of
the presidency by DR.. Eliphalet N.
Potter. President Potter has been
at the head of two great colleges for
nearly twenty-five years, and brings
to the work exceptional talents as an
organizer and man of broad culture
and common-sense ideas.
An article by Mark Twain written
in the style of "The Iunocents
Abroad" and illustrated by A. B.
Frost and Peter Newell, is promise
that magazine readers do not have
held out to them every day. It is in
the November number of McClure's
magazine that this rare feast of hu.
NOR is served. One might expect
much more than ordinary entertain
ment from any one of the three items
Of pictures by Frost, pictures by
Newell and an "Innocents Abroad"
by Mark Twain; but the editors of
McClure's, in their profusion, engage
to serve all. three at once.
The Arena for November brings a
great array of valuable contributions.
The frontispiece is striking portrait
of the popular Governor John R.
Rogers of Washington. The Cover
nor's article, "Freedom and its On.
portunities," sets forth in strong and
logical manner the bottom conditions
of freedom, the menace thereto, and
the sublime opportunities which
freedom brings to people. Giffen's
book, "The Case Against Bimetall-
ism," has never been more severely
and successfully answered than BY
Judge George H. Smith, who in the
November number ably reviews
Gray's arguments and leaves hardly
stone in the foundation of that
work. There are many more contri-
buttons in the November number
equally as interesting.

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 4.-The returns

are that the Republicans have elected
eight Of the thirteen district judges
voted for. Among Republican leaders
here it 10 positively claimed that the
Republicans have elected 10 of the

fusionists. On the other hand the fu.

in eight Of the judicial districts but no
figures are given out. Incomplete and.

counties indicate Republican victories
in almost half Of the county elections.
