ELECTIONS ELSEWHERE.
A Heuvy Vote VIII lie Polled at Bal
timore.

Baltimore, Md, Now 2.-Ihe polls
opened this morning during perfect
de'uge of rain that appears to have ex-
tended 10 all parts OF the state, and effec-
tually checked the voting in the first hour
"a hit and the indications at that hour
point TO the polling of "a heavy vote. Both
parties issued manifestos last night in
which each claimed a sweeping victory,
the Republicans placing their probable
majority for their ticket at 10. 600 in the
city and 20 0Go i'm the state The Demo-
Gratis on the other hand claimed H. COO in
tho city and 10000 in the state.

minutes was at the poliing place. There
was no demonstration of any kind.

There was no crowd at the polling place
and there was no demonstration.
Harlem people as "a rule voted early.
Ihey were not deferred 10y the rain, and
it was estimated at 8 o'clock that 80 per
cent of the registered vote had been cast
in Harlem.
Reports received from various towns Of
Westchester county indicate that the vote
will fall considerably below the reQistra-
ton figures, especially i'm the interior dis
ticts whers voters have To walk or drive
long distances To the polls. Many did not
go 20 the polls on account Of the bad
weather.

Local partisan politicians, the candi-
dates and their friends tossed on their
pillows all last night as the rain pattered
on roofs and against window panes and
realized that the chances for a big vote
on the morrow were growing beautifully
less. They knew that the northeastsr was
not likely to let up and that the storm
OF the night would continue next day.
All their gloomy forebodiugs were veri-
fed as day dawned gloomy and wet.
The rain was falling without regard to
voters or anything else.
Everyone who knew anything about
wet election days predicted light vote
and the predictions were true; for the
wardroom officers had littlo or nothing To
do during tho early morning hours.
Voters struggled IN, wet and disconsolate
and the total grew with discouraging
slowness. In the wards where rival can
didates were active tho rainfall did not
show as great an effect, but in those
sections where everything was serene the
voter showed no apparent desire To catch
cold by exposure TO moisture. There was
complaint from the Third ward that
repeatcrs were at work and then sharp
watch was maintained by the ward COM
done i'm the Interests OF the Democratic
candidates.
There is vast difference between the
vote OF this Novemb ber and tho one of last
year. The presidential interest drew the
voters TO the polls, but this year there is
no apparcnt interest or care aboat the
result on the part of the general public.
Voters who have grudges TO settle and
voters with grievances, and voters who
have more than common Interest in
the success of particular candidates voted
early, but the rank and file who don't APP
parently care rap about tho outcome
have been conspicuous bv their absence.
They dom { care To got wet.
The noon vote showed a so per cent
falling OFF from that cost last spring
when the voting strength Of the city was
the same as it Is now. A comparison with
November OF last year Is Of little value

How to Make the Hair Grow.

While most people admit there is
nothing better for the scalp than thor
ough brushing of the hair morning and
night. many will not persist in this and
are constantly asking what will make
the hair come in when it is fast coming
out. Many Of the best hairlressers and
BARRIERS are recommending rubbing pure
grease in very thoroughly every night
or every other night. In several in
stances this has proved very effectu-
al, and new growth of short and
strong hair all over the head has been
the result. Many children and some of
an older growth are severely troubled
with dandruff in the scalp which al.
ways makes the head and hair look
dirty. This can be removed by rubbing
pure grease in every other night, and in
the morning following wash thoroughly
with soap.

come first from Toxic, by
mail in the other direc-
ton. IL the Government
are aiming at avoiding embarrass.
ment of negotiations by this re-
serve, their object is liable to be
defeated just as much by prema-
ture divulgence in those other
capitals as here. One should
think that the Government, when
fully confident of being on right
course, would court the express
sion of public opinion upon diff
cult matters under deliberation.
Thus far they have gained more
than they have lost in popular
esteem from the stand taken to
prevent the inundation of the
land with japanese immigration.
Why not then allow the people to
come within sighting distance of
what they are doing in pursuance
of their policy in that regard?

That the coffee industry has the
confidence of practical men, in
spite OF all the pessimietic talk
lately got of, is being proved by
the conveyance of lands in cult
walton, at satisfactory prices, to
those intending to settle upon

spectators.

1t is reported that the hitch in
Offering the Tantalus land for sale
in building lots lies in differ
ence of opinion within the Exc
cutive Council, over proposition
to insert clause in the deeds
forever inhibiting the sale of in
toxicating drink on any of the
premises conveyed. Against the
proposition it is argued on the
outside, and probably on the In
side as well, that the sale Of
liquor is matter that should be
left entirely to public legislation I.
A clause in the title of land can
not prevent people from drinking
intoxicants on Mount Tantalus,
so that without the legalized sale
Of such it is easy to imagine how
there might be more carousing up
there, among the clouds, than
with that privilege. Hospitality
might prove more dangerous
element in that way than
commercial cupidity. In the
meantime, however, there is no
probability of any liquor license
being granted for Mount Tan
talus tavern, while the custom
therefor would be under the
handicap of a two-dollar fare
each way for transportation. If
in time to come a place of refresh
ment for sightseers be established
there, surely the people of that
time can be entrusted to decide its
entire character for themselves.
Many people who might be dis
posed to buy lots either for
domiciles or investment for
themselves and their heirs,
even though liquor may be the
worst thing in the world accord
ing to their view, are liable to
object to deeds of conveyance
with any extraordinary conditions
in them. Anything Of that kind
nil hit pave the way for attacks on
the title, with innocent parties
mayhap poor widows or orphans
under compulsion Of defending
it. Land titles ought to be like

the conveyance of value for value.
