Voting Machines in New York
State Generally Satisfactory.

In the election on Tuesday, Novem-
Der Z, 225 Standard voting machines
were used in this state. distributed as
follows; Buffalo, lOs; Rochester. 7S;
Utica, 90; Ithaca, 10; Albion, 8;
Canlseto, 2, and West Winfield, l.
Extra machines held in reserve to
meet accidents or other emergencies,
are not included in the enumeration.
High praise of the machines come
form all quarters. They have met ev-
cry promise of convenience to voters,
speed in voting, automatic and instan-
taneous footings of the total number
of votes cast for each candidate, and a
promptness in announcing the aggre-
gate result in a city or village proper
toned to the qulckness with which
che returns from each district were
conveyed to a central point and tabu-
lated Ithaca seems to be the banner
town in this last respect, with a rec
ord of II minutes in gathering and
adding the figures from 10 machines
OF the 225 machines used mishaps
were reported to only seven, an dhtese
were due in three cases to malicious
vandalism and breakage by violence;
in three cases to a displacement Of
keys by election officers, delaying the
unlocking of the machines promptly
at the appointed time on election
morning and in one case to the strong
arm of an ignorant fellow who gave
t-e voting lever a fierce wrench in the
wrong direction. In none of these
CAGES was serious delay caused, nor
did a single citizen lose his vote.
In addition to their speed and ac-
curacy the machines are so construct
ed as to make it impossible to cast a
defective vote, to repeat" or to com
NIT any fraud or irregularity. On the
score of guaranteeing to every citizen
the exercise of the voting privilege
without risk of disfranchisement on
account of blunders, the machines
seem absolutely perfect. Their super
iority to the official ballot in this re-
spect is plain and striking, and is
demonstrated by official records.
All in all, the voting machine is one
of the inventive triumphs of the age
and it is as sure, in the near future, to
dlsplace the printed ballot as steam
IS proved to be in putting out of date

MabeI Howard IN "ZaZa.o

The most notable dramatic event of
the season was the production OF 'Za-
Ia" at the Opera House last night.
Every seat was sold, and more than
hundred persons stood downstairs, a
very unusual thing considering the ad-
vanced prices.
The role of "ZaZa" is as important
as that of Hamlet in Shakespeare's i'm
mortal tragedy, and is extremely diff
cult, but Miss Howard was more than
satisfactory in the part. She is a true
artist, and those who have seen Mrs.
Carter in the role, say that Miss How
and is in every sense of the word her
equal in her conception of the part,
her reading of the lines, and her dra-
matte action She was accorded a
splendid reception, and merited it. AT
the close of the fourth act she was
given two enthusiastic curtain calls,
the audience .eing apparently not yet
sa listed when she had bowed her ac-
acknowledgements. Miss Howard has
youth, beauty and genius, and is des-
tined to rank among the leading act
resses on the American stage--Wheel-

VERY BEAUTIFUL AND NOVEL.
Parade Of All Nations During Chicago Fes-
tiyal Grand Sight.

Chicago. Oct. 9.-The most spectacu-
lar outdoor feature of the fall festival
the parade of all nations took place, to-
night. and was viewed by thousands.
The parade in which marched represen-
tatives of IA countries, included nearly
30 floats, some of them extremely beau
tiful and novel.
The one that attracted the most at
tention was the great Chinese dragon.
SHIPPED here from San Francisco. The
dragon, which was nearly 800 feet long
was carried on the shoulders of 200 men
and in its immense jaws and nostrils
was burned red and green fire in guam
titles that lit up the parade for blocks.
The parade was to have been review by
President Mckinley but on account of
the lateneSs of the hour of which the
military and civic parade was cOnclud-
ed and the Chicago day banquet at the
Auditorium this was found impossible.

"Whenever go to the playhouse sit in the

So little reck of the rubber neck or the

But oh! at each fall of the curtain, Or

Abig-foot the Bear was at the Hy-
perion last evening. He came over from
the college yard, and he made himself
even more conspicuous and troublesome
than usual in his awkward walking be-
tween the acts and between the seats.
Perhaps it would be cruel to shoot him,
and it isn't quite right for him to be
half-shot. But something should be
done about him. The theatre is a much
more pleasant place than it used to be
when all you could see was wobbllng
vegetable gardens and waving frag-
ments of song-birds, hens roosters and
ostriches. But it needs another large
Improvement. Abig-foot the Bear
should be chained to his seat, and if he
can't so through the play without bear
1t might perhaps be brought in to him.
With the beer to comfort him and the
hope of cigarette after the show to
sustain him he ought to be able to give
himself and those who sit in the same
row with him a rest.

SOME ODD JUDGES

In Daniel O'Connell's time the judges
appear to have figured sometimes in
fashion which hardly commends itself
to more decorous age. Lord Norbury.
the chief justice, was the greatest sin
ner in this respect, and exercised his
wit at the most inappropriate mo-
ments and in thes least pardonable
manner. What could be more brutal
than his gibe when sentencing a youth
to death for stealing a watch? "You
atched at time and Egad, you have
caught eternity" Charging the jury
once, he began thus: THE name of the
defendant is this case in Henry Will
liam Godfrey Baker Sterne, and there,
gentlemen, you have him from stem to
stern | am free to observe, gentlemen,
that if Mr. Henry William Godfrey
Baker Sterne had as many Christian
virtues as he has Christian names we
never should have seen him figuring
here. Blu. wit even of the baser sort
was not the most notable fcautre in
some occupants of the bench. There
were two stories of remarkable Judge
named Day which O'Connell was very
fond Of telling. AT Cork Assizes, near
the end Of a case, Day said to me- Mr..
O'Connell. l must not allow you to
make a speech; the fact is, I always
am of opinion with the last speaker,
and therefore 1 will not let you say one
word MY Lord said I, that is pre-
cisely why I'll let nobody have the last
word but myself if | can help it. I had
the last Word, and Day charged in ia
vor of my client" 1t is not this amiable
weakness for the last speaker, but the
frank avowal of it, which makes one
think that Day must have been a very
remarkable judge indeed. knowledge
of law was not, however, one of his
strong points. OConnell, defending a
man before him for having stolen some

AUTOMOBILE TRUCKS.

Since the horses that drew cars
through the streets of cities have been
displaced by electricity there has been
more room in the streets. If the auto
truck idea finds favor there will soon
be many less horses in the streets of
cities than there are now and much
more ROOM Possibly, too. there will
be some less dirt. The auto truck en-
terprise which has been begun in New
York starts off promisingly. The capt.
tai of the company is s1O,o0O,000 and
there is talk of making it s1OO,00o,OOO,
which is decidedly moderate for these
piping times. The plan is to assume all
the trucking interests Of Greater New
York and move all freight requiring
transportation through the streets on
auto mobile trucks run by compressed
air. The city is to be divided into dis
tricts, and an accomplishing plant will
be erected in each district The COM
pany says 1t hopes to make the change
without antagonizing any interest 1t
will buy up all existing truck and trans
portation interests and furnish employ
ment to all truckmen who wish it and
can secure Endorsement. If any prefer
to run their own delivery wagons the
company promises to sell them auto
mobiles and furnish the compressed air.
The scheme looks well, and if it is
successful 1t will not be long before
automobile trucks will be running in
all the big cities, including New Haven.

hand, the number Of persons killed by
snakes had somewhat diminished, haV-
ing been 20,959, against an average OF
21,547 during the previous three years.
The people themselves are said to be
mainly answerabe for this latter NOR
tally, as they do not realize the ne

prickly pears and other plants that
harbor snakes. AS however, the prick

it having fallen from 81 919 in that year

an increase in the number destroyed by
