stronghold on the east side of New York

Chairman Oden OF the Republican state
committee, with Croker confident and
Plat the personihcation of certainty,
the last working day of the New York
campaign closed amid red fire, parades,
threats, buncombe and blood.
Trouble is feared on Tuesday, when
the state election officers, under COM
mand OF Superintendent McCullagh,
former chief of police of New York, at
tempt to interfere with voters.
Former Senator Hill and other Demo-
cratic leaders have advised Democratic
voters to handle the state deputies with
out gloves in the event of interference
or, in the words of Mr.. Hill, knock
them down on the spot" There is at
the same time much friction between
the deputies and the police. owing to
the fact that Superintendent McCulIagh
was elected from the office of chief of
police by a hostile board, and a clash
between these forces might be easily
productive of serious results.
Both parties issue claims, based on
returns by assembly districts. The fig
ures Of the Republican state committee
show plurality for Roosevelt of 1900.
To give him this the Republicans con-
cede Van Wyck only $4,000 plurality in
New York county and 5000 in Kings.
The Democratic state committee
claims a plurality of IS, 500 for Van
Wyck in the metropolitan district and a
plurality of 40 900 in the state.
The betting has been rather surpris-
ing in the closing days of the campaign
and more Republican money has been
forthcoming than was looked for. Chair
man Odell Of the Republican state COM
mittee, acting for a Republican pool,
wagered 900 even on Roosevelt. Bell
& Co. acting for Smiling John" Kelly
and Bookmaker J. E. Mcdonald, took
the Van Wyck end.
At the Hoffman House David S. Fer
ris wagered $4,000 on Roosevelt at
evens with Len Wager, sergeant-at-
arms of the Democratic state commit
tee. Ferris acted for A. B. De Vordova,
a stock exchange broker and Wager

pool of 100000, of which $4,000 had
been placed.

Reels OF GA Hot Time" and the Pres
ident Enjoys It.

Washington, Nov. THE presidential
photograph is the latest addition to the
White House. It is what Is known an
entertainment photograph, and was pur-
chased recently by direction of Mr.. Nc
Kinley. who had heard a similar instru-
ment give its automatic performance while
he was on visit to New York.
The White House photograph has a
large megaphone attachment, through
which are ratified off comic songs of the
day. funny recitations and stump speeches.
These voices in the tube can be heard
distinctly through the upper rooms in the
mansion on a quiet night, and the presi-
dent, as matter Of relaxation from the
delight hour with the mystic machine
listening to Hot Time" ''On the Banks
of the Wabash" "Guhooly's Wake" and
other selections.
A presidential photograph concert is
held almost nightly, and when the chief
executive tires of the old tunes and jokes
new ones are procured. Usually, when
the concert is on in the upper private
rooms, a crowd of White House attaches
ttptoe up the stairs and congregate about
the door to listen to the automatic voices
and hear the presidents hearty laughter.

THE SIMPLEST CURE FOR IN
DIGESTION,

AS Well as the Safest and Cheapest.
The new medical discovery, Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, digest the food in
stead of making the worn out stomach
do all the work, give 1t much needed
rest, and cure OF dyspepsia is the nat
ura1 result.
You get nourishment and rest at the
same time because these Tablets will
thoroughly digest all wholesome food
taken into the stomach whether the
stomach works or not. A cure is certain
to result because the digestive organs
are given a chance to rest and recover
their natural vigor and tone. The Tab
let's are then no longer required.
To show the manner in which the
remedy acts on different people and how
quickly and effecutaIly it cures stomach
troubles we present a few recent cases.
Mr.. o. Wondly of Peoria, Ill, writes:
I was unable to eat anything but the
plainest food and even that often dis
tressed me, but since using one box of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets L can eat
anything and everything 1 want.
Mrs. Samuel Kepple of Girty, Pa,
writes: have been entirely relieved of
my stomach troubles by your Tablets.
I suffered three years with sour stOm-
ach and gas at night. am thankful
for them.
Mrs A. E. Bowen, Barnard, vt, writes:
I think Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
the best thing for dyspepsia ever took.
I will recommend them to anyone trOu-
bled as bad as I was
Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets will not
disappoint because they cure Dyspepsia
surely and lastingly by causing the food
to be properly assimilated, and cure
constipation by producing the proper
quantity of bile. Sold by all druggists
at so cents per package. Send for free

NO MARRIED WOMEN.
Manhattan School Board Re-enscts a
Law Prohibiting Matrimonv.

New York. Nov. THE school board
of Manhattan and the Bronx yesterday
re-enacted the bylaw placing a ban on
women teachers who marry which had
been omitted when the board drew up a
new constitution and bylaws last sum
mer. The restored bylaw reads as fol-
lows:
Should a female teacher marry her
place shall thereupOn become vacant.
No married women shall be appointed
teachers or principals without the con
sent of a majority of the board of edu-
Superintendent Jasper of the school
board said in reference to the bylaw:
This talk of discrimination against
married women among the teachers is
unfair. The bylaw does not interfere
with those who are married but it pre-
vents those who marry from continuing
in their places as teachers
John E. Eustis, the chairman Of the
committee on bylaws, said: when
young women marry their household
duties prevent them from taking a pro-
per interest in their school work
This old bylaw will prevent young
women from rushing into matrimony.
It is not the desire of the board that
the young women should become old
maids; not at all. If a young woman
marrfes she ought to marry a man who
will support her and not depend on her
for support. 1 would like to see all the
young women teachers marry

A QUEER FISH.
The Columbia Geological Expedition
Brings Back q Polypterus

New York, Nov. IA specimen of
polypterus, or bichir, a curious fish
found on the African coast, the only
specimen, it is believed, ever brought
alive to America, is to be seen in the
biological laboratory of the Columbia
university, in Schermerhorn hall.
1t was brought here by Nathan P.
Harrington, fellow in zoology, and DR..
Hunt, who, last summer, made up the
Columbia geological expedition to the
delta of the Nile Their main object was
to secure the eggs of the protopterus,
one of the three surviving kinds of
1unged fish, for embryo1ogical study. In
this they were unsuccessful, as, though
specimens were found, they were unfor-
tunately without eggs. The protopterus,
which looks something like an eel, is
in the habit of diving into the mud and
building a sort of cocoon for itself. with
In which it keeps during the dry season.
