Row with an Eye TO Summer Trade Stamford
ites VIII Vote the Other Way.
News reached here from Stamford, Delaware
county, yesterday that Joy had once moro set
tied on that town. and that q special election
was going to DO hold soon to enable the people
officially to change their minds. The Joy fol-
lowed tho announcement made the day Gov.
Black got through signing bills that the last bill
he had signed was one fathered by Senator
Charles Davis authorizing the special election.
Stamford Is o summer resort, and the farmers
in the place and in the surrounding country
depend largely upon the summer boarders from
the city to keep them the year round. They
didn't think anything about that when
at the local election, under q provision
OF tho Raines law. they voted that no
liquor should DO sold within tho limits
OF the place. and there was great joy at the re-
suit OF the election. It's the custom Of city folks
to engage board for the summer a long time
ahead. Stamford looked forward to this coming
summer seasons being one Of the most
successful OH record. Why shouldn't 1t DO :
The city folks had telegraphed and tele-
graphed, and moro than half the boarding
space in the village was already engaged.
1t was some time after the election that the fact
after thst'the city, folks began teleeraphlnG and
gram read. CANCEL my order for rooms"
The Stamfordites began to wonder. They
said "b' gosh and 81 gee II was a week or
so before the wise man of the town, announced
other Z dew with f." This view was con;
glazing at each other. and each .soS%Hs-
wise man was appealed to again. He said there
was only one way to FIX things. and that was
another vote Finally Senator Davis came to
the rescue. He INTRODUCED a bill providing
lage Of Stamford. Delaware county, are
submit to tho electors of such village at an
annual charter election, or at a special nesting
called for that purpose. tho question mentioned
~ section 10 Of the Liquor Tax law: Such cues;
charter election to be held In such village in
1900. and every second year thereafter"
SHAREHOLDERS got kilograms daily regarding the
progress of that bill, and when it was Signed
they were ready for a jubilee. OF course there
are some croakers, but 1t is dollars to doughnuts.
THE SUNS informant says. that the majority
for wetness at the special election will be big
enough to make a stranger think the whole town
wants to get q jag on. Since the bill was signed
the city folks have begun to engage rooms again.

Recent corrections in the sta
tistics of the Union army in the
civil war swell the aggregate of
recorded deaths to $50, 2O7. The
number killed outright in action
was 67,O58, and 40, 581 died of
wounds, but this total of 109,-
$50 was less than half that of
the deaths from disease, which
aggregated 250,56s. An army
of Union soldiers, numbering
20, 49S, died in prison. 1t seems
there are more than two chances
to one that the soldier who dies
for his country will be carried off
by disease instead of a bullet.
The figures show thegreat strain
of army life upon the vital pow
ers, and also suggest that the
sanitation and medical supervis-
ion of troops should receive the
closest attention.
