WANT TO Be REGISTERED.


notwithstanding the extensive advertis-
ing and wide publicity given in the news
papers to the three days of registry and
two additional days in which the County
Board of Elections would sit at the Court
House to grant certificates to voters who
had valid excuse for not registering in
person, more than fifty unregistered
voters called at the Court House today
to try and be registered. The Board was
in session the whole of last Thursday and
Saturday and the fact that Saturday
would positively be the last day was an
nounced in all the newspapers and should
have been known to everybody, but some
of the election board do not seem to have
been aware of it. Many of the applicants
at the Court House today said that the
election officers sent them there, telling
them that the County Board was In ses-
sion.
The only persons in the office of the
Board were Clerk Frank Lockwood and
Joseph O'Donnell, one of his assistants
and they were preparing the tally sheets
for the canvass to be made on Friday.
The County Board will sit as canvassers
on that day and canvass the vote. The
canvass must be completed in three work
ing days.

boken, at vasel's Hall on Adams street.
Mr. Louis S. F'ugazzi. the chairman ano
leader of the italian Democrats Of that
city, called the meeting to order. The
hall was packed to suffoeation and on the
arrival of the different candidates and in
vited guests they were received with such
an uproar of applause that 1t could be
heard for blocks distant.
Among those who spoke were Chairman
Louis S. Fugazzi, Secretary Stephen lsola,
candidates for Sheriff Carl Ruempler, for
County Clerk Maurice Stack, for County
Register James c. Clarke, Captain A. j.

CONDENSED MILK HIGHER.
The Advance In Price Of the Fluid
Article Sends Up the Others Price.

The scarcity of milk, which sent the
price of milk up to IS a can, has also
been the means of raising the wholesale
price of condensed milk and an increase
in the RETAIL price may be expected soon
to follow.
The grocers say they cannot get their
orders filed. The subject was discussed
at last nights meeting of the Protective
Association, the members of which have
a special arrangement with the Maine
Condensed Milk Company, and from
which it has for some time received a
special brand of condensed milk, which
sold at nine cents a can. It originally
cost s3.25 a case. Fifteen cents a case
has been recently added by the Milk Com
pany and the retailers expect the price
I'd go to 81 a case. One member said
on his last order the price had been rais-
ed twenty five cents a case.
James Banks did not believe 1t wise to
raise row over the matter. He said
the association was only able to get 410
cans on its last order of 500 cans. 1t was
decided to take no further action until
the next increase. Secretary Black said
some of the merchants were already re-
fusing to handle the milk.

CHANCELLOR COMES HOME
He Is Much Improved In
Health and Expects to
Resume His Work.

Chancellor McGin is at his home on
Montgomery street. He arrived in this
city from the Johns Hopkins Hospital
of Baltimore last Thursday. The Cham
cellor is in fairly good health and rapidly
recovering from his long Illness. This
morning Police Commissioner McGill
visited Police headquarters and said to a
News reporter

the trip from the hospital in which he was
to his residence without any discontinue

The car in which he came was special
ana was fitted up especially for the well
known official's comfort.
This morning the reporter called at the
Chancellors residence. The Chancellor
did not care to talk for the present. He
looked in excellent health notwithstand-
Ing the suffering he has endured He,
however, said
sT will be out in a few days for good.
I will no doubt take short ride this
afternoon l will probably be down to
court by December /.
Chancellor McGiil would not confirm the
rumor that he would resign, but it was
learned from good authority several days
ago that if his health did not continue to
improve he would give up his office. This
statement was made while he was con-
fined in the hospital.
Since his return to the city all his
friends have hopes of his full recovery
within a short space of time and that he
will resume his duties and continue In
office until his term expires in 1901.

"REMINISCENCES OF BEaconsFIELD
Wonderful Imagination Which Aid

Nowhere was Lord Beaconsneid seen 10

about the Hughenden plantations, spud
in hand, with congenial listener. Dur
ing the American Civil War 1 returned
for a short time to London in January
1864. Running the blockade of the Poto-

where had been acting for two years as
special war correspondent to The Times
to New York, whence 1 sailed for Liver
pool.
Shortly after arriving in England
was requested by John Delane to run
down to Hughhenden, as Mr. Disraeh had
expressed a wish to Sc me. At the time
the American Civil War had been in full
blast for nearly three years, during the
whole of which the Southern States had
been cut off from Europe by more or
less rigorous blocade.
Before I went to Hughendon had al
ready seen Lord Palmerston, Lord
Shaftesbury, Mr.. Gladstone, w e. For
ster. Robert Lowe and several other en1-
inent and distinguished men. All We're
eager for information about that terra
incognita,, the South, and all of them
piled me plentifully with more or less
pertinent questions. But on walking out
with Mr.. Disraeli, after luncheon at
Hughendon, found myself to be breath

left behind me in Virginia. He told me
that he had never witnessed a battle.

tangled blackjack thickets of Spottsyl-

imagination pictured all the sights. the

ASBURY PARK, Nov. 7, 1899. Both
parties are confident Of victory In Mon

claim the election of Francis for Senator
and McDermott for County Clerk, beyond
the shadow of a doubt. on the other hand
the Democrats concede nothing, but ad-
nit that the great fight will centre on the
election of the County Clerk.
The candidates and their workers are
making a thorough house to-house can

for the last ten days. The Republicans
report that their meetings have been at
tended by enthusiastic audiences and
that many Democrats have been won
over to their side. Claims of similar
nature are made by the Democrats Mon
ey will prove a potential factor in the
result, owing to the closeness OF the

West Asbury Park, where there is a large

The indications are that the Democrats
