"you are an old hand at it. have only
just got married and don't understand

All Go Republican and All by Heavy PIu-
raiities.

ALI hepuOIlcan ana All by Heavy Plu-
raiities.
Philadelphia, Nov. 7.-Estimates from
all of the counties in the state indi-
cate Barnett's Rep) plurality over
Greasy Oem.) to be 125, 483. In the
same counties the estimates were nee
essarily based on meagre information
and complete returns may change the
figures here given. In 1897, when
Swallow Qnd) carried ten counties in
the state, the plurality of Beacon
(Rep.) was 1871 and in 1895 the plu-
rality for Haywood (Rep) was ia, 264.
One representative in congress was
elected in Pennsylvania. In the Ninth
district, comprising Berks and Lehigh
counties, Captain II. D. Green DEM
was chosen by a majority of 5000 to
succeed d. NJ. Ermentrout, deceased.
Trenton, N. J., Nov. S-The returns
indicate that the Republicans have car
ried the state by about 10000 plurality,
although there was no direct vote on a
state ticket the Republicans will
control both houses of the legislature
by good working majorities and will
have an increased representation in
the house of assembly.
Boston, Nov. S.-The Republicans
carried Massachusetts yesterday by
$4,000 votes, electing w. Murray Crane
governor. The entire Republican state
ticket was elected by practically the
same plurality as the head of the tick
ct and the legislature of 1900 will also
be Republican by the usual large ma
jority. there being few changes in
either branch. The total vote for gov
ernOr, with one town missing, was as
follows: w. Murray Crane (Rep), 1885,
SAG; Robert Treat Paine, Jr, Dem.),
1O3,S12. The senate of 1900 will stand
81 Republicans to 9 Democrats and
the house 1876 Republicans, 70 Demo-
Gratis, Socialists and 2 Independents
This shows loss of two Republican
senators and three Republican repre-
sentativeS. In addition to the three
Republican places the Democrats this
year have also filled two seats held by
Independents last year.
The Democrats had no difficulty in
carrying the city of Boston. For the
past three years the city has Endorsed
the Republican candidate for governor,
but this year Robert Treat Paine Jr.,
the Democratic nominee. received a
plurality of 6,19G over W. Murray
Crane (Rep). Paine's total vote was
s., 592 and Crane received 1896. Last
year Wolcott Rep) carried the city Gy
a plurality of 1897 over Bruce Dem.).

imperialist. who ran on an indepen-
dent ticket. was defeated by the regu-
lar Republican nominee.

Mir. Michael Dayitt, M. P. for South Mayo, Ireland, has a prison record which in many ways is unrivalled among journalists. In 1870 he was sen- fenced to fifteen years penal servitude, and released on tieket-of-leave seven years later; in 1881 he was sent back again to prison and released in the fol- lowing year. His period of liberty was short, however, for in 1883 he was again in prison for three months. It was as a convict in Portland prison that he was first elected as member of parliament, and that he wrote his Leaves from Prison Diary"

Consumption In France.

In report to the State Depart.
ment the United States Consul at
Lyons says of the ravages Of con.
sumption in France each year: For
every six persons In this country at
least one dies of consumption. OF
the $50, 900 deaths that occur every
year in France over 100000 are
caused by pulmonary tuberculosis or
phthisis, and this number, instead of
decreasing, goes on augmenting every
year. Hardly family but pays to it
a sad tribute. No disease, no scourge,
can be compared to tuberculosis, so
far as the number of the victims is
concerned. All epidemics and con.
tagious diseases combined-.typhoid,
variolold, scarlatina, measles, diph-
iberia, cholera, etc.-do not cause
half as many deaths"

A letter was recently received by
the officers of the receiving ship New
Hampshire, which puzzled them a
good deal. 1t was from the ward room
cook, whose English is not as good as
his cooking, as will be seen in a
perusal Of the letter, which is as fol.
lows:
Excuse me, Honorable Offers.
II am always thanking You for your
kindness that could not forget per

therefore I have duty to do make
me responsible for year, but for the

"Though you will refuse my wish,
I will never free away because 1 be-
lieve a God and I have many honor.
But my honorable offers please excuse
me my work and give me Free"
The cook is little Japanese. The
officers studied the letter carefully to
catch its meaning. They failed, how
ever, and only learned when lie helped
them to interpret it that he desired an
honorable discharge in order to join

BEAUTIFUL "MuMMIes' EYES"
Remarkable Reiics Fonnd In tho Peru.
Nian Incal, KurYin1 Ground.

Remarkable Reiics Found In tho Perm.
Wan Incas' Burying Ground.
just south OF the Moro, La Pas.
Peru, is long, fat desert of shifting
sands, in which innumerable bodies are
buried. Inferred with them are many
interesting and curious implements,
utensils and other articles of use and
adornment which, according to the
theory OF the Incas, would be useful
to them in the hereafter. The Incas
believed in the immortality of the
soul and the influence and activity of
disembodied spirits. Hence they
buried with the dead their arms and
implements, the tools of their trade
and the ornaments they wore while
living.
Here also are found those curious
phenomena known as "mummies'
eyes," little hemispherical objects
about the size of seed onion, and
made in concave films which fit so
closely as to he imperceptible, but can
be peeled off by the use of knife or
any sharp instrument. They are
translucent and have deep, rich
amber tint, which, when polished.
take on beautiful luster. But,
Notwithstanding their beauty, they
are useless for jewels, because they
are 80 sensitive to dampness and al.
mospherical changes, and, being com.
posed of animal matter, cannot endure
the climate of the northern zone.
Although the natives believe them
to be the natural eyes of the dead,
scientists declare that they are the
eyes of the squids or cuttleish, which
abound ON this coast. II is theii
theory that in preserving the bodies
the Incas removed the natural eye,
which is the first part of tho human
system to decay after death, and, ate,
removing the brains through the
cavity, their embalmers substituted
the eyes OF the cuttlefsh in order t.
give the face of the mummy life.like
appearance. This, however, is only
conjecture.
Some years ago, writes W. E. Cur
It's, in tine Chicago Record, I brought
a number of these mummies' eyes te
New York and left them with Tiffany
to be polished and mounted in gold
for necklace, but the work was aban'
doned because the men who were EN-.
ployed in polishing them were seized
with mysterious illness, with symp.
toms of poisoning. A violent irri'
tation appeared in their eyes, lips and
nostrils and in some cases affected
their throats, supposed to have been
caused by dust inhaled from the
emery wheels used in the process,
Fortunately they all recovered, but
the work was not resumed. Portions
Of the eyes were Analysed and

a Sports,nan's Rars Achievements.

- hNNTs tCiheNtIheuT.
To Fred Talcott of Providence, RI,
belongs an honor that few sportsmen
can rishtlully calm to possess that
of having called up as we'll as shot
his moose. Mr.. Talcott went out one
afternoon alone on small beaver
meadow i'll the Indiantown country,
and about shutdown heard an answer
to his call far away in swamp. The
moose came along, smashing the trees
at intervals, and reached the edge OF
the meadow after dark. There he
paused and listened for long time,
while the breathless hunter awaited
his coming. Fearing to sound the
horn at so short range, Mr.. TaIcott
c.awled into small brook and
splasbed the water about like a wad-
ing animal. That brought the bull
with rush, until his form could be
seen in relief against the clouded sky.
Mr.. Talcott hesitated, hoping for
side shot while the mystitied moose
roared his disapproval. Instead of
showing himself early, however, the
moose, having caught, perhaps, a
Whit OF human scent, stole away like
n phantom, crossed the brook to Mr..
Taleotts side and disapr cared in the
darkness. The next morning Mr..
Talcott went back to the same place,
and i'll half an hour called the moose
up again and killed him. This moose
had fifty inch spread and stood six
feet seven inches at the shoulder.

Had the Ticket in His Mouth.

The spectacle of the absent-minded
man frantically going through his
pockets in vain search for his trans
fer ticket while that valuable sky.blue
document dropped gracefully beneath
his mustache was hugely enjoyed by
the passengers of an uptown car the
other evening. Even the stolid con-
ductor caught the joke and betrayed
an amount of patience which should
have aroused suspicion on the part of
the victim. Finally, when the trans
fer threatened to be entirely de.
molished, the conductor mildly indica-
ted its locality to the embarrassment
Of its owner and the delight of his fell.
