The Council will not attempt to have
the ballots OF the election counted. MOI
will it do anything with them more
than direct the committee on elections
which as made up consists of Messrs
Mayo. Boothby and Twitchell, to ap-
point day when the returns will be
opened and tabulated.
These returns that are for the Gov
ernor and Council only, and are en-
tirely different from those sent to the
secretary of State which contain j
general summary of the entire ballot,
are great bother to the assistants in
the secretary of States office, all
through the caresessness of the town
and city clerks. All are sealed and
have on the outside the signature OF
case it is the return from town, and
falso have the directions on the outside
that tell what the contents are.
Whether it is the Governors vote. the
county ->offic cers' vote, on any other, az
all are separate that go to the Council.
In many cases the town clerk will for
get to write the name of the town and
in consequence the Maine Register has
to be poured over to tell from what
town the said officers are. AS a rule
the assistants will recognize at a
glance the town from the name of the
ments throughout the year that are
signed by the men. There are other
cases though, where it is a long hunt
to find the town where the officers be-
long.
A. d. Russell, who has been con-
nected with the State department for d
long time, is especially good at re-
membering names, and he is consid-
cred almost as good as theMaine Regis
ter when question of the above men
toned sort arrives. Mr.. Russell is
personally acquainted with about
tNSIy man III publlC+ llAc III AhlC N'eA@~-
and when not personally acquainted

TRUTH BEATS DIPLOMACY.
The Trap Into Which the Latter
Would Have Led Dupey de LONE.

Would Have Led Dupey ue LOme'
From the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE late Senator
Plumb of Kansas once described diploma
cy as "gilded lying" Truth invaded the
realm of diplomacy at one point in the
Dupuy letter incident The Spanish min
lister held his own counsel until late in the
afternoon of the day his letter to Canale-
jas appeared in print. 1t is yet question
whether diplomacy might not have helped
him out of the scrape. When the letter
was first read in Washington there was
general skepticism. Several papers cou-
pied publication with the assertion that IL
was forgery, and even quoted the minis
ter as so branding it. But the surprise
TO Mr.. Dupuy de LONE came when the tel
egraph boy brought to the legation a ca-
blegram from Canalejas reading to this
effect: II have seen the letter which you
are reported TO have written to me. 1t is
a base forgery" Mr.. Dupuy was amazed.
He cabled back: is it possible you did
not receive such a letter?" Canalejas re-
piled: Il never received such a letter from
you or heard you express such senti-
ments." Then was presented to Dupuy
the possibility of denying that he had writ
ten the letter and declaring that anything
WHICH might DC presented DuTpOTEnB TO
be the original was forgery. Up to that
time the minister had refused to admit to
his friends that he had written the letter.
He had no knowledge of the whereabouts
of the original. Should he put bold face
on the matter, and aided by the proof
that no such letter had reached Canalejas,
deny the authenticity?
What passed In the diplomats mind that
afternoon would be interesting Late,
after the office hours were over, the AS
sistant Secretary of State called at the
Spanish legation. The tail, blonde Anglo
Saxon of the purest type sat down fac
ing the small swarthy Latin of as pure
type. The duel of diplomacy began.
you have seen in the papers, Mr. Min
ister," said the Assistant Secretary, "a
letter purporting to have been written by
you to Mr.. CanaleJas?''. Diplomacy
would have admitted the seeing and
would have fenced for the next point.
To the credit of the Spaniard It must be
said that he was man more than dip
lomat In the emergency. YES" he said,
II have seen it. l wrote it," A moment
later he had occasion to realize that truth
is better than diplomacy The Assistant
Secretary, concealing any surprise that
ne may have felt at the quick admission
of the point for which he had come. inn
mediately put his hand i'm an inside pock-
ct of his coat, and drew forth the original
letter. asking, SIS this it?' The minister
glanced over the sheets, and at once iden-
titled the copy as the original. As he did
so there was a ghost of smile in the
corners of his mouth. He must have
been thinking Of the trap into which Dip
plomaey would have led him but from
which truth telling had saved him.

Another bad symptom was a cough, which
was so unremitting that it was the general
opinion of our friends that she was consump-
tive. Shelost flesh rapidly. Sometimes she
would be confined to the bed for two or
three weeks, then be around again, but only
to suffer relapse.
She was not only a physical wreck, but
her mind was affected, and at times she had
no realization of what she was doing. We
feared, in fact, complete mental overthrow
and consequent removal TO an asylum, for
although we had two of the best physicians
in the city, and had tried several proprietary
medicines, none benefited her.
We had read considerable about DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and
bad also heard of some cases where they
had done good and we decided to give them
trial. We purchased some at the drug
store of White 4 Burdick, of this city.
Hattie began to take the pills in tbs
early part of January of this year. Inn
provement was noticeable after the first box
had been taken. The first hopeful sign that
| noticed was that she did not complain of
headache. The attacks of dizziness also be-
gan to abate in frequency, and she ceased to
cough. One after another, the distressing
symptoms left her. She took, in all, nine
boxes of the pills. At the present time she
is in perfect health. The alteration in her
mind and body is almost past belief.
