Today's returns for the forenoon voting
in the different portions of the state indi-
cate "a falling off of about % per cent.
from the poll of the last state election.
If today was "a fair sample the argu-
ment that the excitement of an election
interferes with business would lose its
force. There is no excitement outside of
the few towns where there are local con-
tests. On the general ticket there is
nothing 10 say except that practically out
of every three votes cast two are for Gen
cral Elisha Dyer for governor and his as
sociates on the Republican ticket.
In this city public interest is wholly
centered in the Assembly contest and a
narrow margin for the winners is indi-

dcrman to the effect that the mayor pro-

about obeying the orders of the Demo-

pretty thoroughly learned the lesson that
there is no difference between McGuin-
ness and Dorncy Democrats and the ''Re-
formers.
AS matter of fact, the Democratic
vote i'm wards Three and Ten is
unusually light. In the Second district of
the Third ward, for instance, the vote at
10 O'Clock this forenoon was only 125.
which is something more than one
hundred behind that or the corresponding
hour "a year ago, and the same thing is
true OF the First and Second districts and
the three districts of the Tenth ward.

Boston, April THE new United

formidable vessels of the navy, left her

great interest In the trial of any vessel
has been shown by men who give alton

Iowa today than on any other vessel that

DUMAS TO YOUNG MEN.-Dumas'
advice to young men reads as follows:
"Walk two hours every day; sleep
seven hours every night; 60 to bed
alone when you wish to sleep; work
as soon as you rise; never eat unless
you are hungry !; never drink unless
YOU are thirsty, and always slowly.
Never speak unless it is necessary,
and then say only half you think.
Write only what you can sign. DO
only what you can tell of. Never for
get others who count on you, but you
must never count on them. Esteem
money fJr neither more nor less than
it is worth; it is good servant, but
a bad master. Keep away from wo-
men until you are 20 years old. Give
them up when you are 40. Don't
create without recognizing the respon-
sibility, and destroy as little as posi-
BILE. Forgive everybody in advance; ;
it is more sure. Neither hate nor de-
spise men, and do not laugh at them !;
nitv them. Think of death every
morning when you see the light, and
every evening when you 60 into the
shadow. When you suffer very much
look your grief in the face it alone
can console you and it will teach you
much. Learn simplicity, and how to
be useful, and how to remain free, and
wait to deny God until He has proven
TO the world He does not exist. Glory
for glory is a shameful speculation.
Men proud of their celebrity are igno-
rant. Men vain of their genius are
