clnct papers upon which Is printed the
nanic OF the person selected in the pre-

PASTERS HELD NECESSARY.
--llltnoUgh. In the case OF tie Thomas
Jefferson Democracy's ticket. the person
substituted was OF the same name as
the candidate who died-Henry George
the Election Board held that the letter
OF the law should be observed, and past
ers were ordered printed and distributed
In the prescribed manner.
As already stated. the distribution was
not done in all cases. and consequently
voters were under the necessity OF
writing in the name OF the second Henry
George or voting the ticket as Il stood,
neither of which. IL is claimed, was
literal compliance with the law.
In some cases. citizens intending to
vote for Henry George would not do so,
fearing that the attempt would only re-
suit In the vitiating Of the ballot as a
who.e. Ii has been held In previous
cases of a somewhat similar character
that the evident intent OF the voter
should be considered by the judges. and

PRINCE FERDINAND IN ROME.
As the GGes' of KIM Humbert He hcUrs
the Crave Dispieasur3 of the

ROME, ITALY, July 10.-Prince Ferdi-
nand OF Bulgaria has arrived in Rome,
despite the protests of the Pope. and is at
the Quirinal, much to the d elight of the
anti-clericals. This is the first time since
the Italian troops entered the Eternal
City that reigning Cathoi ic Prince has
been guest of the King of Italy in his
capital.
There must be serious motives undsrly-
ing this visit, which. it is belleved, is the
first of a series that Ferdinand is about 10
pay European courts, otherwise he would
not have risked incu rring the Pope's grave
d.spleasure by an apparently wanton dis
courtesy.
The general impression is that Ferdi-
nand is once more hankering after a crown
and has reason to believe that the moment t
IS approaching when small people like
himself may pick up unconsidered tritle.
in the universal scramble. Certainly Bull.
garia is every bit as worthy OF being raised
to the rank OF kingdom as Servia, and it
is only question of time and opportunity
for obtaining her desire.
