A good deal of interest will attach to the
election returns from Pennsylvania to see
how effective has been John Wanamaker' IS
campaign against Quay. Naturally Penn
sylvania is overwhelmingly Republican,
but there appears to be likelihood of a
good deal of splitting IN today's vote.
Stone. the Republican candidate, was
nominated as the dictation of Quay, and
for that reason he is likely to lose good
many Republican votes. Where they will
go is not certain. jerks, the Democratic
candidate, expects to get large portion of
them, and it is upon this he bases such
expectation of success as he entertains.
Swallow, the Prohibition candidate, who
by the way has had very little to say
about prohibition in his canvass. hopes to
get the most of them, too. The chances
are that Stone will be elected, but it seems
highly improbable that he can poll any
where near the full Republican vote.

BULLETS NOT BALLOTS.

In one State in the Union at least the
election today will be decided by bullets
instead Of ballots. This State is North
Carolina. Two years ago the Popuiists
carried the State, and good many col
ored men were given offices. This year
the whites made up their minds that the
thing should not be repeated. The blacks
are in the majority in the State. and IL
they voted the chances were that the re-
suit of two years ago would be repeated.
In order to restore and maintain white
supremacy it was necessary therefore TO
prevent the blacks from voting The plan
devised to accomplish this was very sim
pie White men arrayed themselves in
redshirts. armed themselves with win
chester rifles and reyolyers and proceeded
to terrroize the negroes, threatening them
with instant death if they made their ap.
pearance at the polls on election day.
Along the South Carolina border whites
from that State hslped along the bus
mess. In Wilmington the Republicans
undertook to nominate a county ticket,
but murderous threats deferred them.
Not the slightest secrecy has been OBJ
served in this movement. 1t has been as
open as the day. 1t has been publicly
avowed that the intention was to shoot
the s'niggers'' if they undertook to vote,
and the newspapers have given cordial
endorsement to the plan. All the best
citizens have either Joined in it or given
it their sanction. The latest reports from
the State say that the election will prob.
ably be peaceful, which means of course
that the negroes have been SO thoroughly
cowed by the threats and demonstrations
of tie red shirted men that they will not
try to vote.
This process of depriving many thou
sands of citizens of the rights guaranteed
to them by the constitution has been 60
ing on for many weeks. yet it seems to
have excited very little attention at the
North and called out few protests. Plen-
ty of people have been ready TIC point out

WRECKED SUPREME COURT
ROOM.

Washington, November 7.-The SUI
preyne court of the United States sat to-
day in the room of the Senate committee
on the District of Columbia. This is the
first time since 1914 that the court has sat
outside its own chamber.
Az examination OF the meter room
where the gas supply to the capitol is
measured, showed that the big meter had
been blown to pieces This satisfied most
of the officials that gas sexplosion was
responsible for the damage. Several Su-
preme court justices m de visit to the
scene of the catastrophe during the fore
noon The only damage that cannot be
made good was done in the hle room OF
the Supreme court where were stored all
the official record and the original copies
of opinions from the foundation of the
government. All these opinions have
been printed, but the original manu-.
scripts were highly valued.

CONCERNING BOOKS.

I am very sure chat Professor William
James's tiny volume, which encloses his
Ingersoll lecture on Human Immortality,
will be read with great intrest by hosts
of persons to whom the subject is a vital
one. It seems that Mr. George Goldth-
wait Ingersoll of Keene N. H., bequeath-
ed to Howard University, his
Alma Mater, the sum of $4,000 as fund
for the establishment of Lectureship on
a plan somewhat similar to the Dudlerian
lecture; that is-"one lecture to be de-
liyered each year, on any convenient day
between the last day Of May and the 6rst
day of December, on The Immortality of
Man. The choice of said lecturer not to
be limited to any one profession, but to
be that of either clergyman or layman,
the appointment to take place six months
before the delivery of said lecture"
This year Professor James was selected
to deliver the lecture, and in reading the
opening words of his address one realizes
that he does not approach his subject
with much enthusiasm; but this feeling
wears away as we follow his logical,
thoughtful and altogether mastery argu-
ments. "The whole subject of immortal
life" writes DIR James. "has its roots in
personal feeling. have to confess that
my own personal feeling about immor-
tally has never been of the keenest order.
and that among the problems that give
my mind solicitude this one does not take
the very foremost place. Yet there are
individuals with real passion for the
matter, .aen and women for whom life
hereafter is a pungent craving, and the
thought of it an obsession; and in whom
keenness of interest has bred an insight
into the relations of the subject that no
one less penetrated with the mystery of
it can ATTAIN +. Meanwhile all

of a mere professional psychologist like

bound to let the most various kinds of

to replying to two of the most prominent
arguments urged today against the doc
trine of human Immortality. The first IL

NATIONAL THANKSGIVING,
A Notable Proclamation by
President Mckinley.

The President has issued the following
Thanksgiving proclamation:
The approaching November brings TO mind
the custom of our ancestors, hallowed by time
and rooted in our most sacred traditions, OF
giving thanks to Almighty God for all the
blessings He has youchsafed to us during the
past year.
Few ears in our history have afforded such
cause for thanksgiving.
We have been blessed by abundant haryests,
our trade and commerce have been wonder
fully increased; our public credit has been i'm
proved and streng hened, all sections OF our
common country have been brought together
ana knitted into closer bonds OF national pur-
pose and unity
The skies have been for a time darkened by
the cloud OF war, but as we were compelled TO
take up the sword in the cause of humanity, we
are permitted to rejoice that the conflict has
been of so brief q, ltion. and losses We have
had to mourn, thou 4 grleyious and lmporfan,
have been so few considering the great results
accomplis ned, as to inspire us with gratitude
and praise to the Lord Of Hosts. He may laud
and magnify His Holy Name that the cessation
of hostif les came SO soon and to spare both
sides the countless sorrows and disasters that
attend protracted war
do. therefore, invite all my fellow citizens,

A new novel from the pen Of Mr.. Gilbert
Parker Is literary event Of real import
ance to the lover ut historical fiction, and
yet in his latest, he..Battle of the Strong,
the author states distinctly that this tale
has no claim to be called historical
novel. 'sIt is possible, he writes, "that
students of English naval history may
find in the life of Philip d'Avranche'
ZONE of he leading characters in the story
s.certain resem blances to the singular and
long forgotten career of the young Jersey
man, Philip d'Auvargne of the Arethusa,
who in good time became Vice. Admiral
of the White, and His Serene Highness
the Duke of Bouillon.' This Is quite
true and Mr.. Parker admits that he has
drawn upon the eloquence, courage and
ability of Philip d 'Auvergne to make the
better part of Philip d'Ayranche, whose
great natural fault, an overlapping am
bition, was the same fault that brought
the famous Prince Admiral to a piteous
death in the end.
The scenes of this delightful story are
chiefly in the Isle of Jersey, at the time
when he.Brench are sent to capture the
island. Jersey life and Jersey character
are drawn with brilliant and effective
touches, and the stirring military and
political events which the author trings
before us with such skill and power make
the book remarkable contribution to
the fiction of the present.
