LITTLE INTEREST TAKEN
In the Contest--Less Than 5000
Votes Cast in the County and
City--A Handsome Democratic
Majority-Returns by Precincts.

Last Tuesday was election day
throughout Virginia for members OF
the House of Delegates, and one hall
of the State Senate. Senator Opie be.
ing hold-over, the election here was
to elect two members of the House.
For these two seats Messrs. John w.
Todd and John w. Churchman, Dem
ocratic nominees, F. B. Kennedy and
D. 8. Sheets, Prohibition nominees,
g. T. Harris, E. f.. Vincent and j.
Clifton Harris, independents, aspired.
With these candidates in the field one
would naturally think that much in
terest would be manifested, but such
was not the case, as from the start it
was conceded that the Democrats
would win hands down and thus no
body was inspired to do much work.
There were many speeches made
Parson Vincent making quite num-
ber-but for his cause the shouting
came before the day for voting. The
two Harris had their names upon the
official ballots and it was said that
they wanted to spend part of the win
ter in Richmond, but all talk in that
was regarded as joke. AS
for the Prohibition candidates it may
be said that they were in the field
merely for keeping the organization
intact.
Throughout the city and county
the day Was one of solemnity. Even
the professional politician was con-
spicuously absent and at no time was
there rush nor were voters button
holed and otherwise nicely treated. In
short, it was quiet election. The
table gives the vote by pre-
cincts with the total vote and MAORI
lies at the bottom.

ALetter From Paris.

Theo. F. Shuey, who with his fami
~ sailed for Paris, France, early in
the summer has written the following
letter tO.the editor of The SPECTA-
TOR:
Your excellent paper reaches me
regularly and its many items Of inter
est make it welcome visitor. All !
ask is that you will have the kindness
to change the address.
AFTER our travels in England, Scot
land, Belgium, Germany and Switzer-
land we find life in the French Capital
very pleasant, and the only regret is
that time goes by all too quickly. Our
little girls are in good schools, the old
est in boarding school at Neuilly and
the youngest in day school near us
here in the Anglo-American Quarter,
and they are rapidly acquiring a
knowledge Of the language OF the coun-
try.
1--WE are pleasantly located and my
wife will be very comfortable here. 1
have engaged passage on the Ameri-
can liner st. Louis, which leaves Cher
bourg November 18th. l shall go
from New York to dear old Augusta
for few days before the meeting of
Congress and hope to have the pleasure
of seeing you in Stanton.
The work for the great Exposition
of 1900 is being pushed rapidly. The
monumental entrance at the Pont de Ia
Concorde is well under way, the new
Alexandra III Bridge is nearing cong
pletion. The Palace of Social Economy
is about finished, while the work On
the Art Palace and the buildings of
the leading nations, including that of
the United States, is we'll advanced.
The Exposition will certainly far out
strip anything the world has yet seen.

treasurer's report had been disposed
of resolution was offered authorizing
the board of directors to hold confer
ence with N. G. Watts, the manager,
for the purpose Of renewing contracts
on the same terms, and if no agree
ment could he reached to gather the
necessary information relative to the
cost OF new switchboard and the run
ming expenses. A report of the direc-
tors will be made to the association on
the 18th.
1t is understood that Mr.. Watts
wants to raise the fee per phone from
81 to SIS, which the association will not
agree to pay. A conference was held
again Wednesday when Mr.. Watts Of
ferred to renew the contract another
year for S. and for the second year at
"a. This proposition will, it is said,
be also rejected.
There is a we'll founded rumor to
the effect that the telephone people
have arrived at the parting of the
ways and that the city phones will be
run Independent Of the county. If
this is done the county association
may endeavor to establish business in
the city. The result of the meeting on
the 18th is being watched with inter-
