THE ELECTION TO-DAY.

! d FTER the splendid vote cast for park extension
I \ on Wednesday 1t hardly needful to urge
upon the attention OF voters the importance OF
the issues stake in the elections to-day Still there
IS always danger that the feeling produced by a
sweeping victory may incline many OF the victors to
become over-sanguine and negectul OF the strength
OF the opposition. The who carried the day for
progress Wednesday should be sure, therefore, TO
go to the polls to-day and make another victory GER
tain.
As there has been little or no open opposition to
the proposal for issuing bonds for the purpose OF
providing for the completion OF good system,
the construction OF city and county hospital and
the erection OF seventeen new schoolhouses many OF
the advocates OF progress may regard the result
already assured and deem it matter of moment
whether they go to the polls or not All such eelI
ings should be set aside. Even if there were no an
tagonist at all in sight it would still be worth while
for every publc-spired citizen to vote in order that
the for progress may be sufficiently large
attest the widespread popular demand for it.
1t is not to be doubted that the various improve
ments contemplated in the issues OF the election
OF the highest importance to the community The
health OF the city has been due in the past mainly
the natural advantages OF the locality. AS the city
increases in size however, and the density OF the
population becomes greater the need of an adequate
sewer system becomes more urgent. AS for the
schoolhouses It is well known that they vertable
necessities We have far outgrown school
edices that at the deficiency in that provision
for public education has become something OF
nicipal disgrace. Much the same can be said OF the
proposed city and county hospital 1t is necessity
OF the community and should be provided promptly
in the interests OF charity and humanity
Once more therefore, the progressive citizens
should go TO the polls to cast their votes for greater
and better San Francisco. They should be resolved
to repeat to-day the triumph OF Wednesday We have
begun the forward movement and it should be kept
moving There should be slackening of popular
energy so long as anything remains to be done

ventured forth again in quest Of food
and lodging, which he must have If he
wished to keep mind and body together.
He struggled on for couple Of hours,
covering little ground, although strain
ing every nerve. There were lights Of a
homestead in the distance, for which
he made without even attempting to
ooncoot likely tale to account for his
appearance, but fate was dead against
him. The rain had ceased now, but it
had left the ground thick with slush,
through which the weary fugitive strug-
gled like drunken man. The lights he
was making for seemed ever to recede
like will-o' -the.wisps, and Fenton grew
dimly conscious he could not reach
them.
There was no other building at hand,
no roof to shelter him, but he could 60
no farther. His legs refused to move,
his head was bursting, and with a cry
of awful helplessness and despair he
sank down upon the clammy ground, at
last unconscious of oil his woes.
1t was two days afterward when Fen
ton regained consciousness. When he
opened his eyes, he was in strange
bedroom. He gave feeble cry of sur
prise, and, as if in response, an old
dame appeared at the bottom of the bed.

With o sigh Of contentment Fenton
did as be was told.
When next he opened his eyes, they
fell upon a familiar form. There by his
bedside was the burly farmer who had
travelled with him from Willesden |
Fenton could not repress cry of aston

bis surprise.

q quick glance at the man on the bed,
and then said. with bustling impor-

In order that new readers Of THE EN-

stallment of this story, and understand it
just the same as though they had read it
all from the beginning, we here give a
synopsis of that portion of it which has
already been published:
Commander Duncan Brett, r. n, hav-
ing been accepted by label Fenton, on
his.way home finds her brother George
bending over the dead body of woman.
In her hand is the broken Oft hilt of q
glass dagger-a curio which has hung in
Georges room-the blade buried in the
woman's heart. A man, Fitzgerald, en-
deavors to take possession of the womsn's
jewelry. Brett interferes, whereupon the
man denounces him to the police as the
murderer, and he is marched to the sta
ton. Brett proves his innocence and is
discharged.

TEN BEAUs For EVERY GIRL IN

TEN BEAUs For EVERY GIRL IN
IDAHo.-With the bachelors outnum-
bering the. maids in every state in the
Union it ought to he easy for the un-
married woman to secure a partner
anywhere, but the region where bach
elors are most in excess is, OF course,
the most favorable to the spinster,
since, the abundance of unmarried
men gives her wider range OF choice.
From a matrimonial point of view Ida
ho is the best state of the Union, for
there the number of the bachelors IL
to that of the maids as 1854 to l,426,
each unmarried woman in Idaho,
therefore, having 10 or II bachelors,
not exactly at her beck, but available
as husband. From most points OF
view the west is the Mecca of the
Young unmarried women, for not only
are there more unmarried men in the
western states, but living is more
easily made in the west than in the
east, and therefore the western men
are more addicted to matrimony.

REGULATING MARRIAGES.
North Dakota May Require Mental and
Physical Examination.

North Dakota May Require Mental and
Physical Examination.
From the Baltimore Sun.
A bill to regulate and restrict mar
riages in North Dakota has passed the
state senate and nows goes to the
house. The probabilities are in favor
of its being defeated. Those opposed
to it say that its only effect will be to
prevent marriages in this state and
drive people who want to marry across
the border to get their licenses.
The bill provides, in the first place,
for the appointment OF commission
of three physicians in each county for
the examination of applicants for mar
riage licenses. This examination Is
req uired to be rigid one in order to
show that the applicant is fit, physical
ly and mentally, to enter into the mar.
riage state.
It is further provided that no license
to marry can be granted in any county
of the state unless the applicant per.
sonally presents certificate from the
board of examiners that the couple are
entirely free from diseases and all
ments which would be apt to manifest
themselves in hereditary way, such
as insanity and tuberculosis.
The board of examining physicians
is to be appointed by the county judge
in each county of the state, and is to
be composed of men of good standing
in their profession. The members are
to meet as board at least once during
each month for the examination of ap-
plicants for entrance into the matrimo-
nial state.
If both applicants in given case
are found to be fit for matrimony the
board of examiners shall 80 certify,
and then and only then the license to
marry shall issue. But if one appli-
can't is not up to the requirements this
is as much bar as if both were unit.
In case the applicants pass the neces.
sary examination fee of $3.50 is paid
to the physicians.
