Democratic Gains in New York.

ALBANY, Nov. 3.-Returns from the
state, which are coming in slowly, dom
onstrate that the republican land
slides of the past two years have been
reversed, if not by giving as large a
majority for the democrats, at least by
changing something like 240,0 900 votes.
The greatest surprise of returns is the
great gain, made in the assembly by
the democrats, many of them being
in counties and districts where there
was no expectation on the part of the
democratic managers of winning. The
republicans will still control the assem-
bly,, although by largely decreased
majority.

This is an off year and I think there
Is nothing to complain of. The weather

Gratis can reasonably bring silver up

He says further that Monday
was pay day and he had gone to
Mr.. Johnson's to have his check
forS6O cashed. That this had been
done and he came out of the
back way, because the front doors
had been closed, and entered
the road from the side gate and
met three men in the darkness.
He thinks they were waiting for
him anticipating what he had
gone for.
After receiving the wound Mr..
Worren went to his boarding

The matter has been placed in

These facts were learned from
Mr.. Worrell himself. He is a
married man and was expecting
his wife to come to him Tuesday
night.
But there should be patrol
made of this part of our town by
parish offices. This section or

Monday night something after

on the authorities to ferret out
and .unearth the cause.
AT that hour Mr.. j. d. Worrell,

he recovered himself and realized
what had happened, when he
then turned around the men had
disappeared. Mr.. Worrell says
he has had no difficulty with any

murder for the purpose of rob-

He says Monday afternoon
about 6 o'clock he had gone to
saloon further towards town and
had two, ten dollar bills changed

on had noted and wanted to en-

Confidence In Danger.

It is impossible for one to entirely
avoid danger, however great the pre-
cautions taken. Fear in the presence of
danger is not a sign of cowardice, but
is often the result of previous expert
ence or may arise from natural timidity
or inherited temperament.
1nsensibility to danger is not sign
of courage or Of superiority in any
sense, but may arise from lack of prop
er appreciation of the circumstances

the assurance of Ills presence in all dan
ger and control of all forces material

present. Confide in Him and by heart
trust rest all fears and needs on Him.

Be Cheerful.

Those who are the happiest and win
the most love are the cheerful ones.
There is and always must be in this
world much Of suffering and disappoint-
ment. Cheerfulness under all the ad-
verse circumstances of life 1ightens ones
own sufferings and eases others bur
dens. Good cheer comes best from per-
1ect trust in God and hope in His prom
ases. Not frivolity, not light headedness,
would we commend, but light hearted
ness, not rejoicing because of pain, but
joyful in the Lord in the midst of pain
and bearing all cheerfully for His sake.

Not Ready 10 Protest.

Not all OF the comparatively few citi-
zens who met in Odd Fellows hail Thurs
day night in response 10 call 10 take
steps against providing the city with a
system of house drainage were opposed
10 the city councils house drainage pol
icy. More than half probably were there
out of curiosity. Those who sympathize
with the purpose Of the meeting discover
ed that they lacked sufficient data upon
which to act intelligently. and so they ap-
pointed a committee to get the necessary
information from the council.
II is evident. however, that the coun-
ell has very little. if any, more informa-
ton as to what the cost of the proposed
house drainage system will be than the
average citizen. The councilmen know
what Col Waring. whose house drainage
system has been adopted, said as to the
cost and about all that Col. Waring said
has been published.
ID is a pretty safe statement to make
that Col Waring gave no figures as 10
the cost of connecting premises with the
proposed drainage system, and the council
therefore is not in a position to tell the
odd Fellows hall committee what it
wants to know. When Col. Waring shall
have finished his plans and submitted them
be will make a statement. in all proba-
bility, of the expense to which house own
ers will be put in connecting their houses
with the new sewers. An approximation
of the cost could be obtained by applying
to house owners in Brunswick, where the
Warlng system is in operation.
The smaHness of the odd Fellows haIl
meeting shows that public sentiment IS
strongly in favor of providing the city
with a house drainage system as soon as
possible. The necessity for such a system
has been admitted for years The matter
has been discussed until the public mind
is made up in regard to it, House drain
age ought to have preceded street paving
not only because Of its greater import
ance. but also because it would have cost
less then than it will now Still, the city
can stand the cost. The cost will not be a
tenth of what the loss of the city would
be if. in any year, the city should have a
few cases of yellow fever owing to a lack
Of proper house drainage No one will de-
ny that a clean city is less liable to a
visitation of the fever than one that has
a defective house drainage system. Those
who are threatening to throw obstacles in
the way of house drainage should hesitate
a long while before doing so. In the event
Of a visitation of the fever the value of
their property would shrink far more than
the amount which house drainage would
cost them.
