ONE CENT.
NO APPOINTMENT YET

~
NO ONE NAMED TO SUCCEED
THOMAS c. DoUD ON ELECTION
BOARD.
Although the term Of Thomas c.
Doud. president OF the Board of Elec-
tions, expired on THURSDAY last, Gov
ernor Tunnel has so far failed to
name his successor.
The failure on the part OF the gov
ernor to appoint is said not to be due
to any uncertainty OF mind as to whom
he shall name. but is owing to the alb
sence from the state Of Secretary Of
State Hughes, who is away on his va
cation.
The candidates are Thomas c. Doud,
the present incumbent: Armon d.
Chaytor and Colonel William D. Nor
ton. The chances appear to be equally
divided between Doud and Chaytor,
thought some assert that Norton will
be run as compromise.
The term Of offise is for six years
with a salary OF $500 per annun.

ing II see the Lord. He wants me.
Miss Stewart was converted at Har-
rison Street NJ. e. Church several
years ago, and became very enthusias-
tic on religious subjects, processing
sanctihcation. Several neighbors who
saw her tried to induce her to come
down, but without avail, and only the
violent ringing of the door bell by
er mother caused her to descend The
unfortunate young woman had beer
employed for a number Of years by
Isaac T. Pyle as his housekeeper, anS
he has been exercised over her condi
tion, fearing for some time that eh'
would lose her mind, as her whole con
versation was composed of religion
and it was impossible to talk Of any
thing else to her. 1t was found neces
sary to remove her to the State Hos
pital for the Insane, as nothing coul,
be done with her.
Her mother, Mrs. Margaret Stewart
is heartbroken, and as she is an aget
woman, it is feared that she will no
recover from the shock.

bury prime minister and minister OF foreign
affairs and "A. j. Balfour, first lord or
the treasury, announced to-day in the House
Of Lords and in the House of Commons, re-
spectively, the general drift of the Anglo
Russian agreement regarding the spheres OF
influence of the governments of Great Brit
ain and Russia in China as they have
already been known Lord Salisbury said he
hoped Russia would consent to the publica-
tion of the text of the agreement when 1t
arrived in a few days. His lordship en-
phasized his anxiety not to appear to attach
exaggerated importance to the specific stip-
ulations of the agreement, adding: But Of
course L attach very great importance to
the signing Of this agreement, because II is
a sign Of the good feelings desirable be-
tween the governments of Russia and
England" His lordship also expressed the
hope that the good feeling would extend to
the peoples of the two nations. This agree
ment. he said was valuable as preventing
the possibility Of collision between the
two governments in China and, therefore"
he said. lit is a guarantee of their future
agreement for long time to come. ] trust
that IL will lead to future agreements on
other matters"
