Her Real Charm.

A Scotch farmer, says London An
swers, who was bachelor and a little
past his prime, finding his comforts in
life rather meager on account of his
INDECENT circumstances, decided that
the best thing he could do was to
marry a certain middle-aged neighbor
of his who did not lack for money. He
went, wooed and won, and his estate
soon took on an air of greater pros
perity. One of the first purchases he
made with his wife's money was a
horse. When he brought it home he
called his wife out to see it. After
admiring the animal she said: well,
Sandy, II it hadHa been for my siller

1t is not to be expected that an ex-

be agreeable to Americans, or an ex-

then, should we forbid Americans to
do so. If IAN accent like banjo" Is

why we in England should pretend to
admire it. But vulgar or affected in
tonation is clearly distinguishable, and
ought to be clearly distinguished, from
d national habit in the pronunciation
of a given letter, or accumulation OF
particular word, or class OF words. For
instance, take the pronunciation of the
indefinite article. The American habit
ually says "a man" "a as in gamer;
the Englishman, unless he wants to be
emphatic, says "a man." Neither Is

with 700 Speaking Parts.
The passion Play" as performed
every tenth year since 1888 at Oberam-
mergau, which is intended to present
q lifelike picture of the last days or
our Savior upon earth, heads the list
of mammoth dramas in the number or
speaking parts. Seven hundred actors
are required, ranging from the chief
actor, Joseph Mayer, who has on three
occasions played the part Of Christ,
to the little boys and girls who are
grouped in the Scriptural tableaux.
The play takes place in large open
air theater capable of accommodating
5000 spectators. The villagers Oh
iOberammergau regard the Passion
Play" as a solemn act of religious
worship, and the performances are
characterized by the greatest rever-
!ence. The proceeds are devoted to the
good of the community, after betrayal
of the cost of producing the play, in
Guiding a moderate remuneration or
the actors. The principal parts are
usually hereditary in certain families,
and are assigned with regard to moral
character as we'll as dramatic ability,
and the part of Christ is looked upon
as one Of the highest honors attaina-
bile. The performance, which lasts
nine hours, is attended by many thou-
sands of European and American VS.
itors.

obtain his views of the situation, but
he had gone home to sleep and had
given positive directions to not permit
any interruption.
Chairman Long gave out the follow
ing statement regarding the next legis-

ten senators out of nineteen sure.
Three more are believed to have been
elected, but the returns are not com.
plete while one is in doubt. There are
two Republican hOld-overS and six
anti-Goebel hold-overs. In the house
the Republicans have elected forty
members certain, the Democrats thirty
five and the anti-Goebel Democrats
five. The districts in doubt and not
heard from are nineteen, which in
clude Campbell and Kenton counties
and three districts in the city of Louis
vile. This insureS a fusion majority
in the house against the Goebel law
and probably a Republican majority"

Taylor Elected Governor by From 1000 TO
15,OOO-Legislatnre Doubtful.
Louisville, KY, Nov. S.-By the COM
bined efforts of the Republicans and
anti-Goebelites Attorney General w. S.
Taylor (Rep) has been elected COVER
nor of Kentucky by majority vari--
ously estimated from 1000 to $4,000
over Goebel Dem). Returns received
up to midnight also indicate the cleo
ton of tha entire Republican ticket,
while the complexion of the legislature
is in doubt. The weather throughout
the state was perfect and more than
an average vote was pOlled, the total
falling but little short of the vote
polled in the last presidential election.
Comparatively little disorder pre-
vailed, and aside from several arrests
for alleged violations of election laws,
the election was characterized by a
remarkable degree of quitude. Cover
nor Bradley remained in Louisville
during the day and he had the Louis
vile Legion in readiness for marching
orders. The militia was called out
after the close of the polls to enforce
an injunction granted by local judge,
but the presence of the militia was not
needed and the companies were soon
ordered back to the armory.
Chairman Long, of the Republican
campaign committee, said at midnight
that Taylor's plurality would not be
less than $4,000. This estimate, he
said. was based upon estimates re-
ceived from a majority of the counties
in the state. Governor Bradley esti-
mates Taylor's plurality at from $1,000
to $4,000.
At midnight there were still many
missing precincts, but 1S1 out of 203
i'll the city of Louisville and Jefferson
county gave Taylor plurality Of 1852.
With all the returns in and the present
ratio of Republican gains maintained
Taylor's majority in the city will
reach 1000.
