New York.

New York.
Col. Roosevelt, Republican, is elected
Governor OF New York by about 2O. ZOO
plurality. The Democrats carried eleven
counties as against only one two years
ago, and Greater New York gave Van
Wyek $4,000 majority. AS compared
With the election of 1906, when Black de-
feated Porter, this shows Republican n
loss of from 10000 to $4,000. Roose-
Welt came to the Harlem river with 105.-
0OO plurality, and Van Wyck had bet S5,-
600 Ia Greater New York with which TO
meet it. The vote outside the city shows
that Roosevelt ost 81 900 as compared
with Black. In the city his vote was 61,
600 smaller than Blacks. In the country
districts Van Wyck ran about 10000 and
In the city about 54, 900 ahead OF Porter.
Michigan.
The next congressional delegation from
Michigan will be Republican, Congress-
men Todd and Brucker, Democrats, be.
Ing succeeded by Washington Gardnef,
and j. w. Fordney. Gov. Pingree has
been reelected by a plurality of 10000.
In vote throughout the State was light,
ana, although the Governor was badly cut
at many points, his Democratic friends
rallied to his support with more than
enough votes to Offset the Republican de-
fection. OF the thirty-two State Senators
the Democrats elected ive and possibly
SIX. In the House they win have FIVE
votes, while eight others are in doubt. The
Republicans will have a majority Of
eighty-seyen and majority on joint bal
lot of 104
Iowa.
Iowa voters elected the Republican can
didates in the eleven congressional dis
tricts of the State, the safe ones by sweep
ing and almost unlooked-for majorities,
and the few who had contests on their
hands by increased pluralities, except in
one district. Major John f. Lacey, mem
Der of Congress-, defeated Gen. James B.
Weaver by plurality of 1,234, gain Of
33 over his plurality in 1896 The Sixth
district was the central battle ground dur
ing the campaign. The Republican State
ticket will have about 10000 majority.
The falling off in the vote is about Is to
IL per cent as compared with 1896. Flu
sionists suffered from this cause.
Minnesota.
John Lind, silver Republican, with
Democratic and gold Fopulist indorse-
ynent, who, few years ago, as Republi-
can, represented Minnesota distrie. In
the national Congress, has large plu-
rality In the State over Eustis, Rep. The
rest Of the Republican ticket has been
chosen. All seven Republican Congress
men have been elected. The Legislature
viii be Republican, but not by so great
majority as at first thought. Seventy
seven Republicans are known TO have been
elected.

Indiana.

Nearly complete returns from about
eighty counties of the ninety-two in In
diana emphasize the Republican victory
and indicate that the majority on the
State ticket will be in the neighborhood of
1900, that the Republicans have carried
eight certainly and possibly nine out of
the thirteen congressional districts, and
have elected majority in both branches
of the General Assembly and will contrvl
that body on joint ballot by from twenty
to twenty-five votes.

You have seen the woman who jerks
her head as she walks, I suppose? The
habit is not uncommon, and on close ac--
quaintance you will find that n woman
so afflicted is given to fitlSleness. She
trifes little too much with love, and
is just the woman TO miss q good tus-
band and be sorry afterward, says rthe
Boston Traveller.
The quiet man viii never be happy
with the woman who digs her heels into
the pavement and scurries along as if
she were running a race. She is busi-
ness-liSe and most likely the woman to
succeed in trade affaiiS, but her man
ner is one Of those simple things that
worry the quiet manto DEATH
The girl who cannot walk without
skipping is n very cheerful girl and en-
joys life with much the same gusto as
the girl with an elastic step who tips on
her toes at every stride. But perhaps
the girl we like most is the girl with the
brisk, musical walk, who loves to peep
for a moment into shop windows and
then walk briskly on, and who goes
through life with the fixed resolve Of
getting the most pleasure out Of every
thing.

Dechunna Prisoners Are bought by
the Farmers

The slave mart" judging from an
article in the Cape Times, appears to
be definitely established in Cape Town,
says the London Chronicle The slaves,
of course, are the Bechuana prisoners,
and although there is no suggestion
that these wretched creatures are treat
ed with harshness while in the gov
ernment care, they are clearly consid-
cred and disposed of precisely as if
they were mere bales of goods or cat
tie. Careful watch and ward is kept
over them and the writer says that
"it is not easy TO pass the strict guard
at the gate unless you are farmer
coming TO pick your labor. =
Round three sides of the square court
yard men and women are squatting inn
passively or standing chattering in
knots. They are ill-clad and exceeding
ly ill-favored, but not ill-nourished, like
the first batch of skeletons that came
down to town. A child here and there
is even bonny. There is no very obyi-
Gus detection. The nearest to IL is a
moody, passive look"

the spirit of the ''slave mart" They go
round the market scanning the men
and Sorting out those Of the largest
size" as did the walrus and the car
penter with the oysters. The natives
cast expressionless, sidelong glances at
their possible masters while they are
being appraised like goods in a store.
Having selected one or two from a
group, the farmer is chagrined at be-
ing told by a harried official: 1--WE can
not break this lot for YOU" as if the
knot Of negroes were q dinner service
or suite of bedroom furniture. Back
goes the farmer and looks the natives
up and down again, and at length de-
cides "to take the lot" When the ma
tives are duly indentured for five years
their master unhitches his cart and
mules, outside, bundles his labor" in
and drives his bargain home.

Of Boston. who resigned his appoint
ment to the American legation at St
Petersburg. has returned home. Mr.
Achorn was originally made first sec
retary by the government. He started
for Russia. but on his arrival in Paris
he was informed that he had been
made second secretary. Upon learning
of this Mr.. Achorn sent his resigna-
ton at once. He declined to discuss
the circumstances of the affair further
than to say he had originally been ap-
pointed first secretary Of the American
legation and of course would not accept
the subordinate position.

THE BULLDOG A GOOD DOG.
Yet we no Not Care 60 Take Liber-
ties with One.

Yet we no Not Care 60 Take Libcr-
ties with one.
No member of the canine family has
been more persistently maligned than
the bulldog. Writers who have no inti-
mate knowledge of the dog and his at
tributes have described him as stupidly
ferocious, and illustrators have pic
tured him as a sort of semi-wild beast,
I'll the general public has come to look
upon him as dangerous, says Outing
"Give a dog q bad name" is an old
saw and perhaps a true one, but when it
is applied to the bulldog, It is manifest
ly unjust. Writers, too, have fallen into
grave error In claiming that the bull
dog is deficient not only IN affection, but
in Intelligence.
No greater proof of the falsity of the
litter could be given than was wit
messed at the late Westminster Ken
mel clubs dog show, when Col. Shuts
exhibited his trained dogs, with the
bulldog Nick performing all sorts Of
wonderful feats, especially that of
walking a tight rope, and, when in the
center of it, turning round and retrae-
ing his steps, amid the applause of an
bdmiriug audience.
Stonehenge, who is considered one oi
the greatest of canine scientists, claims
that the bulldogs brain Is relatively
larger than that of the spaniel, which
dog is generally considered to be ths
most intelligent of the canine race
while the bulldogs affection is never tc
be doubted.

UnexpectedlN Postponed.

unexpectedly iostponeus
NORRISTOWN. Pa. March 22.-The
trial OF James A. Clemfher. charged
with the murder Of Mrs Emma Kaiser
on oct. 2s, 1896. which began yesterday
came to a sudden stop before any Of the
jury had been selected and was post
poned until the June term Of court.
This unexpected turn Of affairs was
the result Of a petition by the defense
that the panel Of jurors be quashed on
the charge that Jury Commissioners
Troy and Mcdowell had isregularly
drawn the panel and for various other
technical reasons. 1t was alleged that
the commissioners had drawn the entire
panel for personal and political reasons.
When court opened, Judge Swartz,
who tried the victims husband. Charles
o. Kaiser who has already been con-
victed of the crime. sat beside Judge
Weand, who is to try Clemmer. The
usual preliminaries disposed Of counsel
for Clemmer presented the petition and
began TO examine witnesses in support
of it. 1t was developed that Jury Com
missioner Troy sealed the jury wheel
with his cuffbutton, claiming it was his
seal He admitted sending out a cir
cular letter to the Democratic county
committee asking for the names of men
who could act as jurors. Commissioner
Troy said that as he was elected on the
Democratic ticket he thought he had to
get Democrats for the jury. When the
circular letter was submitted, it ap-
peared that the commissioners had fol-
lowed the precedents established by
those whom they succeeded in office
After a recess of several hours, Judge
Weand sustained the motion to quash
and fixed the date Of the trial for the
| June term.
