Some Surprises

The probate judgship race also containeo several surprises Stiles is about l'Ooo votes ahead of Henry and about 2'OQo ahead of Lane. The Henry men still clam .ha' they will have the county by a 300 piurah'S' but in the face of the returns up to tnis hour this seems hardly possible. Henrys show of strength surprised a great many people. For week or more the poiiti- clans have been predicting that the candi- date who passed Henry would be the next probate judge, but very few ever imagined that Lane would fall as far behind as he did.
 That Senn would win the associate Juog- shin race, has been conceded by the poll ticians for some time past and the aues- tion yesterday was one of how big the ma iority would be.
 The returns from the country beats began to come in to The Age-Herald office before o'clock. Bulletins had been posted in the windows of The Age-Herald office all day, giving the progress or the election and standing of the candidates, and when the complete returns began to come in, 1t only served to increase the interest of the public in the outcome.
 Big crowds of interested voters, together with anxious candidates began to crowd the office and remained until late hour. Davis beat was the last to finish the count and at o'clock all of the returns except from the remote county districts, were in. These returns will be found in a table on second page

 THE FINISH IN
 A HEATED CONTEST Several Knock Downs for Favor
 ties in the Primary. STILES FOR PROBATE JUDGE Nil lkerSOn Wins for Senior Judge Oi the
 City Court. ssNN WON IN WALK FOR ASSOCIATE Ward Comes in Ahead for the Circuit
 Judgeship. AND McADoRY FOR CIRCUIT CLERK Surprises to the Wise Acres Came in the Re markable Race of Capt. Ward, in the Nomination of McAdory and
 Harsh's Small Vote.
Ward Comes in Ahead for the Circuit
 Judgeship.
AND McApoRY FOR CIRCUIT CLERK

The democratic primary for 1898 is now a thing of the past and from the best and most authentic returns up to the time the Age Herald goes to press the following will be the nominees
 Stiles for probate judge.
 Wilkerson for senior judge of the city court.
 senn for associate judge of the city court.
 Ward for circuit judge and McAdory for circuit clerk.
 There were several genuine surprises in the primary yesterday. Two or three dark horses, so to speak, ran away rom the favorites. Probably the darkest of the lot was McAdory. Since Howard withdrew from the race for circuit clerk several weeks ago, everybody admitted that Mc- Adory would make good race agalnst Mc- Carthv. but nobody dreamed that he would r,,r ewav from his opponent as he did.
 Another surprise was the way cap'a'n w q. Ward came to the front Tn the CIT cuit judge race. Captain Ward mas oeeh .euved" to no small extent for the qulet' stav-in-his-office contest that he has been waking. This, when contrasted with the canvass that some of the candioa'es new been making, is very commendaoie 'o 'ne captain. ,,a
 It was also a surprise that Harsh oio not make a better showing than ne o'o for the senior judgeship. EvefVoooy thought that he would at least eiNe kerson a close race, but from the preseh' indications the latter's majority will eashy exceed 1000. As will be seen rom tue +abulated vote Harsh carried only one city haat Davis. by F votes. Even Hill whicn was supposed to be strongly III HIS i"'oi went against him.

Withdraw American War Vessels

London, April 10-Special dispatches from Madrid received this morning say Senor Gullon, the foreign minister received im- portant telegrams from Washington and immediately went to the residence of Prem- fer Sagasta where a protracted interview was held. Senor Gullon then went to the palace, where cabinet council was held and the prime minister imparted the con- tents orf the telegrams. He said the ann bassadors of the powers had asked Spain to grant an armistice with a view of allow ing negotiations for a settlement of the whole question.
 The council had long and anxious dis cussion during which Senor Sagasta went out and consulted with the queen regent and it was finally decided to grant an armistice which should last five days upon the following conditions:
 The United States should immediately cease to lend moral and material support to the Cuban insurgents, that the Ameri- can squadron in the vicinity of Cuba should be withdrawn and that the American war vessels near the Philippine islands also should be withdrawn.
 If the United States decline these condi- tions it is declared the powers will openly lend their support to Spain.
 The correspondent in Madrid of a news agency here says that if the insurgents shall not have laid down their arms by the end of five days the war will be resumed and Spain will receive the moral support of the powers.
 Meeting of the Ministers
 Madrid, April 9.-6:3O p. m.--The ambassa- dors collectively called upon Senor Gullon requesting that Spain grant the armistice so repeatedly begged for by the pope.
 The cabinet then met General Cor req, minister of war, and Admiral Bermejo, minister of marine, objected to the grant, ing of an armistice on the ground that It would be disparaging to Spanish arms. The representative of Russia, military power, replied that he considered 1t would be no disparagement. Objection was again made on the ground that there was n9 (Continued on Fifth Page.1 WY LEAF COAL, g per tom Telephont Mo- 40.

A FoUR-LEGGED FURLOUGH

The children of the reading class
were recitiug, and rs they read the
teacher asked the meaning of various
words. Finally the word ''furlough''
was encountered.
What does "furlough" meanY'
ask ed the teacher.
There was no immediate reply, and
the teacher asked the question again.
y little girl held up her hand.
Well, Mary, tel Us what 'furlough
means"
1T means mule" said Mary.
"Oh, no, replied the teacher, lit
doesn't mean a mule"
Indeed it does, said Mary. Il
have a book at home that says So"
We'll, said the teacher, now thor.
oughly interested, you may bring me
the book TO school and we will see
about it,"
The next day Mary brought the
book and in some triumph opened to
page where there was a picture of a
soldier standing beside Il mule. Be
low the picture were the words
"Going home on a furlough."

CHARITY IN FRANCE.
Society Women Nurse Where LOath-
some Diseases Are Treated.
l. Bicknell, in January Century.

Anna l. Bicknell, in January Century.
Ladies of the highest rank. who seem
the most engrossed by frivolous pleasures,
will perform heroic acts Of charity in the
most unexpected manner. The Infirmary
for Cancerous Diseases. containing the
most fearful and loathsome examples of
that repulsive malady, is regularly attend
ed by ladies of rank, who have their fixed
days of duty, when, each in turn, they
dress the wounds with their own hands.
The DuchesSe Dues, one OF the best
known leaders of fashion, whose splendid
festivities fill the chronicles of the leading
newspapers, is one of the most assiduous.
showing an adroitneSS in the exercise of
her charitable functions which induces her
care to be particularly desired by the pa
tients.
l know great families who, when residing
in their country houses, have regular days
in the week when the daughters of the
family dress wounds and sores among the
such families repress energetically any
morbid sensibility which might interfere
with such duties. What will you be fit
for in after life If you cannot command
your feelings?" I have heard said by a
venerable marquise who looked as if she
had stepped down from the frame of one
of the pictures in her chateau. may
quote another instance. of lady in a less
high position; who took in a wretched beg
gar child on cold wintry night perform
ing maternal offices as regards removing
the consequences of his neglected condi-
ton which were so repulsive that her
physical strength gave way and she was
taken violently III III consequence. On my
praising her charity. she exclaimed almost
Indignantly: what, when our Lord
washed the feet of his disciples you would
have me shrink from doing what is peces-
sary for a poor, wretched child, merely
through a feeling of dsgust?''
| said nothing, but could not help think
ing how many would have left the care to
others.
1t must be acknowledged, however, that
by the side of acts of heroic charity there
is, saving exceptions. a great lack of that
genial kindness which shows itself to
equals in any trouble by many little friend
~ attentions in England and America-the
coup of cold water of the gospel.
