THESE VOTES CAME HIGH.
It Cost the City S770 to Get the Votes of Four
 Men in Central Park.

From the New York World.
 Four citizens of Greater New York made their votes felEt Tuesday. The potency of these four ballots was, how ever, financial rather than political.
 Each vote cost the city $192.50
 It happened in this way:
 "Gabe'' Case, proprietor of McGown's Pass Tavern, together with two of his employees and a former Janitor of the Arsenal, live within the boundaries of Central Park. The city's great play ground is their home and place of busl- ness combined. It was necessary to pro vide these park dwellers with the oppor- tunity to vote.
 So those in charge of dividing the city into its political divisions made Central Park the Thrty-third Election District of the Twenty first Assembly District. It's voting population felt proud.
 sGabe" Case pened several cold bot ties, while E. G. Meyer and William Pagan, his truSty Servitors, made merry in the tavern kitchen. Old John Fox, the fourth voter, who lives in "the old house on the hill," that historic struc- ture overlooking the western boundary of the park. expressed his joy by hoist ing flag and hanging out Chinese lan- terms.
 When the first registration day rolled around the four voters found their spe- cial and exclusive booths ready for them at One Hundred and First street and Eighth avenue. There was the full ar ray of officials prescribed by law. h. spectors, poll clerks and ballot clerks were in their proper places, just as if the voters of the district were as nu- merous as seeds in the wild fig.
 There was no economy of equipment- there could be none under the law-not even to the extent of calling off the big policeman on guard at the door.
 The entire voting strength of the elsc- tion district registered it's four names early on the first day of registration During thethree remaining days the inspectors, the poll clerks and the big policeman simply held down the chairs and rested. But thsir salaries went right on.
 Yesterday the four were all duly de- posted before 9 o'clock in the morning, and the Thlrty-third election district had recorded it's costly political verdict.
 At 5 o'clock he Voc was couned in one minute and ten seconds by the big policeman's silver watch. The cost in all fir gathering this vote was $770, i'm c1uding $50 for the booth. This is $192.50 a vote.
 If this ratio of expense was general throughout the city Greater New York would go into bankruptcy on it's first election. Five hundred thousand voters as expensive as "Gabe" Case and his three fellow park dwellers would call for an electoral expenditure close to S100 00O 000

THE UTE WAR TEN YEARS AGO.
Two Whites Were Killed and Four Wounded
 Cost to the Government, $80, 0,3l4.72.

From the Denver Republican.
 The last attempt to forcibly convince the Utes of the majesty of Colorado law cost just $SO,314.72, when all the btlls were allowed, exclusive of interest, which has since piled up to quite fortune within itself. Two whites were killed and four were wounded. This happened in August, 1887, when all the White Riv- CT Valley was included in Garfield coun- ty
 Under their treaty the Utes could oc- cupy the unsettled part of their old reservation, not only for hunting ground, but to pasture their herds of ponies, goats, and cattle. This privi- lege they used to the utmost, and they became very undesirable neighbors for the whites, who were just occupying the country themselves.
 A young Ute buck gambling for po-
 nies designated as stake a horse be-
 longing to white man. He lost, and
 when the winner went to take the pony and found that it was not his a warrant was sworn out for the Ute on charge of horse stealing. Arrest was resisted, the Utes scuttlsd into the hills and the sheriffs posse was swelled by every iIldH III tuc COuutiy that cOulQ carry a gun.
 The Utes knew every inch of the hills, and the whites knew only the valley
 trails. No one knew where the Utes
 were, and terror seized the whole region, every ranchman feeling that a band of hostiles might sweep down upon him at any moment.
 Urgent appeals were sent to Governor Ava Adams. who is governor now showing such a condition of affairs that the whole state militia force was s:nt into the field. United States troops were sent in from Fort Duchesne, too.
 The militia found the Indians at the
 mouth of Millsr creek, but while com pHcated military strategy was in prog ress the Utes stole away. Next day scouts found them at the Forks of White river, where Buford postoffice is now There was lively running fight, in which the only casualties of the war; occurred, as before enumerated. Then the Utes, minus from seven to | twenty of their memo one knows how
 many-abandoned their flocks and raced back to Utah. The settlers took in the | ponies and cattle, the goats were left | to the mountain lions, and the Utes l abandoned the idea of anything more l than brief and fugitive visits to Colorado. 1 the whites, paid a last regretful visit to the White River Valley and then | died in hs lodge in Utah. Since then the Utes, though bad-tempered enough, l have had no leader whose name bore any | terror to white ears, and so have avoid | ed any collisions, sneaking in and out by unfrequented ways.

 Wilmington. Del, Oct. 23-There is talk of bill being introduced in the next legislature providing for uniform whipping of convicts in the three coun- ties. In New Castle a cat-o'-nine-tails is used; in Kent a rawhide, and in Sus- sex a gum switch. Sussex folks think the punishment in New Castle is too severe, and in Sussex it is too light. The Kent plan may be agreed puon.
