Senator Mclaurin on the Elec-
ton.

Senator McLaurln when asked
by a Reporter "what about the
election 2" responded as follows :
"Well, il is not as large vote as
usual, but I attribute much OF

nv friends that was bound to
win any Way. l am not surprised
at the result, for up TO the time OF

audience that we addressed where
it was not clearly apparent that l
had majority. My election, so

mination of four years of work up

CELEBRATING THE VICTORY.
How Part of New York Made Merry
Over Tammany's Success.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
The tocsin of Asa Bird Gardiner, sound
ed by long-haired youths, women wearing
tigers on their hats and loud lunged per-
sons who blew horns, filed all the Tender
loin Tuesday night. Van Wyck was elected
and the habitues of the district where the
fierce red light has paled of recent years
were in high feather. Those whose faces
are familiar on Broadway before the DAYS
Of reform came down from their uptown
haunts and mingled with the crowds. 1t
was the Tenderlon redvivus The gentle
philosophy of running everything wide
open and on the level filed Broadway and
Sixth avenue with riotous Joy.
Every saloon keeper held a levee and
every one whose sealskin coat was plush
and whose yellow hair had dark streaks in
1t joined in making merry. 1T was a kind of
Tenderloin Walpurgis Night The streets
were damned with persons filled with
strong drink. An alcoholic wrath seemed
to hang above the old Tenderloln. The
good times were coming back again
The celebration began as soon as the re-
turns indicated that another period of
Tammany rule was at hand There was lit
tie to hinder the bacchic revels. The po-
lice were busy at the polling places They
were tired out, too, with their long days
work keeping order on election day Many
of the saloon keepers, by means of the
dining room subterfuge, managed to do a
f1ouriShing business even while the Vot-
ing was going on. When the election was
over there was no let nor hindrance to the
food of beer, whisky and champagne
which ran its riotous course through the
old Tenderloin.
The bottles which popped and the wine
which fixed seemed to sound the slogan
of Asa Bird Gardiner. The doom of re-
form was sung to the accompaniment of
juggling glasses and the unsteady shut
fling of drunken feet.
The doors of every saloon in Sixth ave-
nue. and Broadway, some of which are
known as the resorts OF the disreputable,
were thrown wide open. The screen doors
host which scrambled for admission The
bartenders frowned upon those who de-
manded mixed drinks. There was no time
for the deft manipulation of the ingre-
dents of a cocktail. 1t was beer, cham

troubling rheumatism by the same rene
dy."
Work is necessary to a healthy body
and brain; but when 1t runs through the
same grooves through the twelve months
year in and year out, the effect is as DIS
astrous as fire in a bundle of wood
When the nervous system is tagged out
none of the organs of the body do their
duty; the purifying, excretory organs do
not thoroughly cleanse the blood and the
digestive and assimllative organs keep
the nerves badly nourished
The tiredl system needs help. Here Is
where Pain6's celery compound accom-
/ plishes its wonderful work The radical
purifying of the blood and the rapid feed
ing of the nerves by this great remedy
prevents the development of diseases that
often Turk unrecognized in the system
Every one who has taken Paines celery
compound has noticed and remarked to
others its wonderful strengthening effect
upon the entire nervous organization and
its cleansing action on the vitiated blood
1t cures the body of that nervous habit
eradicates headache, cures insomnia and
wasting diseases, and quickly drives out
the poisonous humors that cause the
aches and pains of rheumatism and neu-
ralgia. For building up the body against
general debility, poor appetite and the
tired, lfeless feelings that accompany a
low nervous tone Paine's celery compound
is beyond all question the surest. most re-
sponsible remedy any one can use.
An ailing habit. with frequent bodily
pains over the seat of such vital organs as
the heart, brain or kidneys is serious and

ELEVEN HANDS ar POKER.
Ought TO Have Won Every Time, But
Didn't.

From the New York Press.
It's the bewiderlng uncertainties Of the
great game of poker that make It so pop
ular with most Americans. Systems and
the law of average do not seem TO obtain
as much in the play of this game as they
do In most other games of chance and skill.
This point never was more strikingly illus
trated than II was one night not long ago
in the short space Of half an hour.
The game Is a regular institution on one
OF the late suburban trains out of New
York The first stop that is made by this
train IL exactly thirty minutes after the
train leaves New oYrk. The game always
starts on time, and the cards are gathered
up and the players jump off usually as the
train begins to get Roadway after the first
stop.
This explanation Is necessary to fully
appreciate the array of hands that makes
the real point OF this story. one player
with a good memory held in the thirty
minutes play the following hands, with
these results:
Four aces-won, of course.
Five full on aces-beaten.
One fiush-beaten.
One straight-beaten.
Three aces--beaten.
Four sets of aces up--all beaten
Three seVenS-beaten.
Queens up-won.
Jacks up-won
Tens up-won.
Mines up on fours-beaten.
In this really remarkable collection of
eleven hands only four of them were win
ners and yet the man who held them says
that he came out even. He got scared on
his five full and on his flush and just call
ed He lost considerable on his three
aces, but he won more on his queens up
that he held only once than he did on his
four acs. His jacks netted him more than
any other hand, for he had them pat and
played them so on the opening OF a fat
Jackpot.
The five full was beaten by a ten full
and the flush was beaten by a queen full
None of the other men In the game thought
that his hand was especially strong OF
weak, and II would be expected natural
ly, that the array Of hands given above
would quit the game considerably TO the
good If one did not know that most Of
them were beaten.

TANDEM JUMPED A FENCE.
Yet the Riders Escaped without
Serious Injury.
From the Lancet.

Serious Injury. -
From the Lancet
A correspondent at Montreal writes: At
the annual meeting of the Montreal Bfcy-
Gle Club a remarkable cycling occurred in
the first heat of the two-mile tandem
race, when during a squirt in the last lap
at the far curve on the south side of the
grounds, where the track curves up against
the fence surrounding the grounds, the
tandem ridden by L. S. Robertson and J.
Drury became manageable.
The machine actually jumped the fence.
which is over three feet high. and the ped
ais of the one ridden by Provencher and
Eaves becoming entangled with 1t their
machine followed It. The four men and
the two machines disappeared over the
fence as If the earth had swallowed them
up. Beyond few bruiss to the men and
q broken chain on one OF the machines no
damage was DONE
Provencher and Eaves were able to ride
In the final heat, but Robertson had to go
home in a cab. IL was a remarkable ac-
cdent, and It is a wonder that any Of the
riders escaped without broken bones.

Charles E. Osgood of Boston, the owner
OF the largest and most successful furni-
ture business in New England if not in the
country, was one of the few large buyers
among furniture dealers during the hard
times Of last year, who did a great bust
ness, always paying cash, moving on as if
times were good while rival concerns
were. going to pieces right and left all
about. His credit from Michigan to Maine
became so conspicuously solid that he
was one of the most talked of young men
in commercial circles
With limited means, but well bred, full
of character, straightforward, and we'll
educated, he started in business only a
few years ago in a very moderate way in
little store on fremont street in Bos-
ton. The city, began to know him quickly.
HIS business rapidly assumed big proper
tons. A newspaper one day interviewed
him in the column of Men Worth Know
ing
TO what do you attribute your sue
cess?" asked the interviewer
Mr.. Osgood replied very shortly: when
in doubt, buy the best goods"
He is known everywhere to-day by that
expression.
Work told on Mr.. Osgood's health. With
characteristic judgment he put his re-
lance upon natures best remedy to make
him well again. The best of medical
treatment was at his disposal; there GER
tainly was no physician that a man in his
position could not employ. He got the
right advice, and followed it, To-day he
is perfectly well, good-tempered agrees
sive and energetic to the last degree.
In letter to the proprietors of Paine's
celery compound, written Sept. %, 1897,
Mr. Osgood said:
Il have derived great benefit from the
use of Paine's celery compound, and can
unhesitatingly recommend it for building

Anna L. Bicknell, in the Century.
Three men surrounded him and tried to
take off his coat. He calmly pushed them
back and removed 1t himself, opening his
shirt collar and preparing his neck for the
ak. The executloners, who seemed at first
Disconnected and almost awed, then again
came round him, holding a rope.
The king drew back quickly, exclaiming:
What do you want to do?"
ITO tie your hands"
The king exclaimed Indignantly: '"Tie
my hands, No. will not submit to this.
Do your duty, but do not attempt to tie
me; you shall not do it."
The executioners persisted, and spoke
loudly The king looked toward the Able
Edgeworth, who at once saw the impossi-
bility of resistance, and said gently: Sire,
this last insult will only provide a fresh
point of resemblance between your majes-
ty and the God who will be your recon-
pense."
The king looked up to heaven. AS
suredly his example alone could induce
me to submit to such an indignity." Then

His hands were tied, and, with the as

the scaffold, silenced the drums by a
glance of authority, and then, In voice

site side of the Place de la Revolution, he
uttered these words:
II die innocent of all the crimes impu-
ted TO me. 1 forgive those who have caus-
ed my death. and / pray God that the
blood you are about to shed may never
fall on France"
There was a shudder that ran through

sat with their elbows upon the wine and
whisky drenched cloth. The place was
jammed to the doors. Amid the clinking
of bottles and the smash of an occasional
glass upon the floor arose the words Of
that noble sentiment which first fell from
the lips of Tammany's district attorney
elect.
Down in the Newmarket there was a
function of the Tohellwith coterie. 1t was
largely attended. The women who said
that they guessed that they would take
wine did not have to guess again. The
band played music which made the pulses
tingle and the feet to whirl. 1t Wes very
warm there. The galleries were crowded
The saloon was damned. The floor was
covered by whirling forms. Everybody
was glad for the return of the good old
times before DR. Parkhurst began cru
SADIE against vice. The bitter memories
of the Lexow committee were sweetened
by the anticipation Of four years of demo-
cratic rule.
"We've got a chanst to live" said the
men with the checked clothes and the
polka dot collars.
ITS not so SLOW" said they of the
new 'Tenderloin, who had come down for
a look at the domain which had been
theirs.
The early hours of the morning
were devoted to celebrating the new reg
ime. The champagne bottles seemed %
be the sign In the sky, and the small bird
which does not fly was an emblem of hope.
Cabs with eloquent feet projecting out
of the windows piled up and down A
procession Of boisterous persons blowing
horns and bearing brooms upon their
shoulders marched up and down. After
closing hours the saloons conducted a
rushing business by means of the side
doors, and the speedy damnation" Of that
ancient enemy, reform, was drunk in many
a glass with beaded bubbles winking at
the brirn."
Several hundred young men proclaiming
themselves as students of Columbia Uni
versity Joined in the election night Mardi
Gras. They had come originally to cele-
brate the election of Mr.. Low. Some of
them who had carried flags at Low meet
ings came to the Tenderloin early Tuesday
evening, sedate and calm. The news OF
the election of Van Wyck, instead OF
causing them to hang their heads in sor-
row, seemed TO fill them with JOY. They
took possession of a chop house upon the
edge of the Tenderloin district and pro-
ceeded to hold high wassail. They cheer
ed for Tammany and a wide open time"
The celebration of the return of the old
regime echoed through the Tenderloln un-
til the morning sur arose upon the streets
filled with debris and procession of wag-
ons laden with empty kegs.
