VAN WICK ELECTED,
Tammany Carried Greater New York by
at Least 10000.

New YORK, Nov. 3.-Tammany's
victory in the first municipal election
in Greater New York is sweeping
one. Van Wyck's plurality can scarcely
be less than 10000 and may be larger
than that. Van Wyck has polled q
vote which falls possibly 10000 under
the combined vote of General Tracy,
Republican, and Seth Low, Citizens
Union. The latter was successful to
me extent of polling an aggregate vote
IN excess of the 10000 pledges implied
by the signatures to the petition upon
which he became the candidate of an
independent movement which, at the
outset, olered to join hands with the
Republican party organization in con
certed effort to exclude Tammany from
power in the greater city to come into
being Jan. J., 1898, with a population
the second in magnitude of the great
cities of the world.
The offer was declined on the ground
that in any such movement the Repub.
lican organization would participate
only coincidentally with the other
party to the compact, and the Citizens
Union on the other hand refused to re,
call it's nomination of Mr.. Low, in
order that the form of selecting can.

TransYaal Gold.

Of his recent extended study of the
gold resources of South Africa DR..
Becker says that the Transvaal republic
contains the largest gold deposits in the
world. Within Is miles of Johannes
burg there is an amount of gold, prac-
ticaliy in sight, estimated to be worth
So, 500, 900, 900, or nearly as much as
the entire volume of gold coin now il
the world. The gold is extraordinarily
uniform, as uniform as coal in an or,
dinary deposit, as shown by shafts
which have been sunk to depth Of
1900 feet and diamond drillings which
have gone still farther At present the
gold is being taken out at the rate Of
800, 900, 600 a year.
The most surprising news which DIR.
Becker brings is the testimony of al
American who was formerly his assist
ant in the geological survey, and who
is now engaged in mining in the Trans,
vaal, where he has made several mil,
lions of dollars The American mining
expert says to his knowledge and belief
the gold deposits, instead of being &c
miles long-the region now in Sights
practically 1900 miles long, except that
i'll the rest of the region later deposits
have come in over the gold. This, how
ever, will not prevent economical min

THE FROZEN BREEZE,
A Strange Phenomenon Observed by

A Strange Phenomenon Observed by a
Lover of Nature.
Did you ever see frozen breeze? You
might have seen one if you had gone
with me into the country one winter
morning.
This was the way it came to be frozen;
All night long the air had been laden
with mist. Over the fields, in the hol
lows, all through the woods, even Oh
top of the hills, the fog hung heavily.
All that time the wind blew steadily,
but not fiercely, from some northern
quarter.
At nightfall the mercury fell below
the freezing point, so that this mist, as
it drifted through the trees, was frozer
upon their branches and twigs. The
elms, the oaks and the other leafiess
trees took their ice coating quite evenly,
but the thick, impenetrable masses OF
the needles of the pine trees were GOV,
cred noticeably only upon the sides to,
ward the north OF northwest, from which
the wind came. The strong, steady
breeze bent the branches to leeward
while it was icing them, and when the
wind went down in the morning they
all remained just there, leaning to the
sonthward, iced and frozen to immova
bility, but looking just as if the vino
were still steadily blowing.
Even in the afternoon, when the rail-
began to fall and the wind came from
quite another quarter, that north wine
of the night before still remained white
and frozen over the piny woods, the
pale, rigid corpse of thing once keenly

Six Kentucky Marriages

At the village of Roley one day not
long ago there were six couples mar
ried. In the morning there was triple
wedding in the church. In the after
noon three other couples We're welded
within an hour of each other at the
homes of the respective brides. All six
of the couples were entertained at the
home of Uncle Bob Tucker, who, after
the different marriages, was closely re-
lated to all the principals thereto. Now
come some of the singular features of
the case. Uncle Bob, before the we'd
ding, had in the lot of IL individuals a
daughter, a son, three granddaughters,
one niece and one nephew. In the IL
there were a brother and sister, two
sisters, two brothers, three cousins, two
uncles, an aunt, four nieces and two
nephews, and yet no one of the 10 per-
sons married any one related to him or
herself. Another funny feature is that
before the weddings there were two
named Hopkins, two Dunbars, two
Chelfs, two fuckers, two McWhorters,
one Pendleton and one Hood. After the
omelet was done, the Dunbars and Hop
kinses had gained two the Pendletons,
Chelfs and McWhorters had been ex-
terminated, the Hoods had been in
creased by one, and the fuckers had
held their ground. Ever since the we'd
ding day the gossips have been figuring
on the probable kinship between the
several brides and grooms and their mu-
tual relative Uncle Bob Tucker.-Co-

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfe1d, Mo-,
writes: "For six years 1 have been a
sufferer from a scrofulous affection of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, D. c.,
Springfield, ILL.,, and st. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re-
moval of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though 1 am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had I only used your S.S.S. long ago,
I would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $I5o."
This experience is like that of all who
, suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root of
the disease and forces it out perna-
nently.

BEATING FATHER TIME.



Speed was once demonstrated on a
western road in fashion to curl the
haiz of at least one old Mormon bishop.
The churchman considered it phenom-
enon and got off the train as quickly as
he could. He had bullwhacked across
the plains in the early days, and, strange
to say, had never ridden on railroad
train until the time when he entered
upon his trip from Green river to San
Francisco The speed was, therefore, a
revelation to him. He had never before
seen anything so swift, and he was
scared. About ~ miles from Ogden he
asked the conductor for the time of day
and was told that it was 1885. He i'm
pressed this time forcibly on his mind.
Now, for wonder the western con-
nection at Ogden was quickly made,
and after the lapse Of but few minutes
the San Francisco bound travellers were
on their way Californiaward. Ogden
had been left behind only few miles,
and the train was whooping along at a
behind time rate of speed, when the old
bishop, frightened and trembling, dared
W dSA t4lt COuttuCtOT WHdJ was IQ6 I1mb
of day.
If you have travelled westward, you
know that at Ogden the time changes,
and San Francisco time, one hour ear
lier, is adopted. The conductor had San
Francisco time, and he said:
sit is 7:10-ten minutes after ~
The old bishop, previously haunted
by dread of impending destruction be-
cause of the horrible rate of speed at
which he was being whirled through
space, rose with a wild cry and made
for the door,
''Lemme off, he cried. ''It was 80
minutes after 7 an hour ago, an we're
goin SO fast we are goin faster than
time can count itself. Lemme off,
Had he really been going as fast as
the old man had believed, he would
surely have been beaten to bits as he
jumped from the train. AS it was, he
was only rolled something like a half
mile and was carried back to Ogden on
a hand car.-Chicago Record.
