Emperor Scipio Africanus inau~urated
the custom Of shaving among the Ro-

a beard until a courageous preacher

shaved. Fron the time of Julius CAESAR

the clergy, after the conversion OF the

Experience OF . CalifornJa Pot Hanter In
. Vineyard.
II WAS out hunting quail in q hig
vineyard near Santa Rosa a few days
ago" remarked Superior Judge Dough
srty, OF Sonoma county, according 10
the San Francisco Post, "snd got the
finest bag Of birds l ever shot in MY
life. When l first went into the Vine
yard thought was shooting at tame
quail, for they wouldn't fly until /
came near stepping ON them, and then
they would wobblc OF through the air
in the most erratic way. They woukl
only fly short distance until they
would drop into grapevine as If their
wings had given out.
u my dog kept bringing me live quail
which l thought ] had wounded. but
finally, when ] had three dozen birds
and had fred only about dozen shots,
! knew there was something wrong
somewhere.
Finally I came upon . quail lying
on Its back and kicking Its feet in tho
air Ia the r0ost peculiar way Ipiclicd
it up aud found it uninjured. So far as
1 could see. Then set il on it's legs
and 1t went staggering and fioundering
over the clods a few feet further till
1T fell ON It's back again and lay kick
ing belplessly.
FOR the frst time it occurred to me
that the quail was drunk. They had
been feeding Oh the frost-bittcn grapes
that had fcrmented on the vines, and
were enjoying the widest kind OF a
jag. Some could not move. while the
soberest couldn't fly fast enough 10
get out of the way Of clod."

cratic deputy sheriff dying: John
Smith, driver of the Democratic wagon
in which the negroes were hauled to the
country.
The wounded are: Charles Graham.
colored. occupant of returning wagon;
Walter Coins white, bystander.
There is no confirmation of the rumor
that several negroes are dead and con-
cealed about town.
Egbert and his party claimed that the
Democrats were corraliing the negroes
outside Of the city TO prevent them from
voting yesterday. Smiths injury IS the
loss of a leg.
The tragedy was the result OF an at
tempt on the life Of Ben Marshall and
other political workers about midnight.
Marshall and others heading the fight
for the Democratic municipal ticket
started to the country with a load Of
negroes
Egbert desperate character full Of
liquor. organized a band and started In

were returning from the country Egg
bert fired. wounding Smith, probably
fatally. Marshall recognized Egbert.
Marshalrs friends and the friends Of
Smith armed themselves, and from 10

Claim Hnnna Is Beaten.

COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 3.-The Demo-
cratic state committee claim the cleo
ton OF their state ticket by from 5000
to 10000 plurality and a majority of the
legislature on joint ballot for United
States senator. No figures are given
on the SO state senators and 109 repre-
sentatives, but it is claimed that the
Republican loss OF IL members of the
legislature in Hamilton county would
insure Democratic control OF the legis-
lature. The Democrats also claim
the u members of the legislature from
Cuyahoga county, which includes
Cleveland the home of Senator Hanna.
The Republican committee cOncede
the loss of Hamilton county.
The Republican state committee
claim confidently that they will carry
Cuyahoga and make gains in other
counties. They state that they had an
ticipatcd losses in the cities on account
of local fights on bossism and other
factional troubles. but that they had
the best reports from the rural dis
tricts. A heavy rain prevailed all day,
and this no doubt affected the rural
vote The Republican gains seem to
come from the rural Democratic coun-
ties and the Democratic gains from the
Republican counties In which the large
cities are located.
The Republicans do not concede the
loss OF the state or Of the control OF
the legislature. but admit that the re-
suit will be very close on both.

Interest In Washington.

WASHINGTON. Nov. S.-Great inter-
est was displayed by the citizens Of the
capital in the result of the elections
throughout the country. Early in the
evening large crowds congregated in
front Of the newspaper bulletin boards
and at various private places where the
returns We're displayed. In official cir
cles the interest was intense, and many
Inquiries were made as to the results,
particularly in Ohio and Maryland. In
the absence Of the president, his secre-
tary and several members OF his cabi-
net. there was no gathering at the
White House, where the returns usually
are received.
OF the members of the cabinet, Secre-
tary Sherman. Secretary Bliss and
Postmaster General Gary went TO theii
respective homes to vote Secretary

elected comptroller and president Of the
council respectively by handsome ma
jorities.
The polls opened at o'clock in the
morning. and between that time and
noon there was a constant stream of
voters fiocking to the voting booths. At
noon the vote was as large as it was
last year, when a national election was
on foot.
Voters and ballot clerks had trouble
with the pastors which the law required
for Henry George. Voters complained
that the pLsters had been improperly
used having been placed over the
names of other than the proper candi-
date, and they were fearful that their
ballots would be invalid.
The ballot clerks claimed that their
instructions had not been clear and that
they had not been informed as to which
was the correct place for the pastors
The result was that some of the ballots
had two pastors strung across the tops
while on others the little paper slips
had been gummed on indlscriminately.
The number of arrests for Illegal vot-
ing was unusually small. Four men
were arralgned In Center street court
and discharged Five were released
from Yorkyille court, six from Jefferson
Market and 13 from Harlem court.

None of the DruRWist's Customers
CouId Read Japanese.


Could Read Japanese.
Chlcagoans, as q rule, are not con-
versant with the Japanese alphabet.
There are very few who could read a
billet doux or comprehend an excoria-
ton In that kind OF characters. An in
cident which occurred recently Illus
trates this very well.
About six months ago a druggist on
one OF the prominent streets on tho
South side decided 10 adopt the reign
ing japanese craze and have his store
bambooed all over. He got a down
town firm of decorators at work. They
were not long In giving every conceiv-
nble thing in the store a fishing-rod ef-
feet. Besides this, they put few
dragons on the ceiling and some Yum
Yums above the soda water fountain,
and finally, to complete very ornate
job, they placed on one side Of the door
frame on the outside of the building a
japanese scroll.
The store was the admiration of the
proprietor and all his friends. He in
formed himself on japanese lore and
was able TO explain everything pretty
well except the inscription outside. It
looked a good deal like laundry ticket
but he assured his friends that. to be
honest with them, he didn't think It
meant anything, and was merely an idle
creation of the man who did the work.
After some time il passed out Of his
mind
One day last week. however sub
ject of the mikado, who is studying In
Chicago, came into the store with a
broad grin on his face.
"Do you mean," he asked, "what you
say on the sign outsider"
The druggist explained that he didn't
know exactly what it said.
"Well, them" said the japanese, "Ill
translate it for you. tt reads Our
prices are the highest, and our goods
all stale"
"You don't mean ii" said the drug
glst.
"Yes," persisted the man who had
enlightened him. For a moment he was
going to be angry, buthe finally seemed
to think over the matter. At last he
said: "Well, it's been up there six
months. and it doesn't seem to hurt
trade much. guess wen leave it
alone"
How the decorators helper got this
sentence. or how many drug stores in
Chicago he has plnstered with the same
unfavorable proclamation is still mys-
