DEMOCRATS DID NOT REGISTER.
John r. Mclean Will Try to Get Then
Out at Columbus.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
COLUMBUS, Ohio. October 26.-The fact
that J. w. Holcomb, one Of the anti-Hanna
republican leaders of Cleveland, was a
visitor at John r. McLean's house here
yesterday has strengthened the reports that
much of the vote of the anti-Hanna ele :
ment of the republicans in Cuyahoga
county is to be thrown directly to Mclean.
Mclean said last night that the report
that he had given up Cuyahoga county and
would waste more effort there was
simply rot
A bad state of affairs. from a democratic
sta ndpoint, has cropped out in this county
The registration so far checked up by
the democrats shows that the republicans
are about $500 ahead of the democrats, and
but two more registration days, tomorrow
and Saturday, remain This being reported
to Mclean, he has established a committee
of his own to take charge of things here
with Allen O. Myers at its head. The
trouble comes from the Kilbourne and anti
Mclean sentiment in this county. Most Of
the county candidates share in this feeling
They took the stand at first that as Nc
Lean had taken the first place on the
state ticket in spite of opposition" he ought
to pay the whole campaign expenses. They
have refused to pay even the campaign
expenses, and so Chairman Gaynor has not
had money to use in getting out the voters
for registration.
He laid the matter before Mclean. and
the latter's action is in accordance with
Gaynor's suggestion OF course Mclean
will lose the county unless he can get the
registration up little. \ great many Of
the poorer classes of voters have got IN the
habit Of getting dollar for registering
and money is required to get them out

NO THREAT TO ENGLAND.


BERLIN, October 2G-The correspondent
here of the Associated Press learns authori-
tauvely that the conferences between the
secretary of the admiralty, Admiral Tir-
pitt; the minister Of foreign affairs, Count
Prince HohenIohe, related solely 10 the in
crease Of the German navy by spcedicr and
larger ships than contemplated under the
existing program. This is due to the radi-
cally changed political situation of the
world.
1t Is not intended as a threat to any one
The conferences did not refer To sending
Warship5 to South Africa, and no decision
has been reached as to in what shape the
new naval plans will reach the reichstag.

Anti-British Meeting at Hamburg.

At meeting of 5000 members of the
Pan-German and Anti-Semite League at
Hamburg yesterday, called to protest
against the Transvaal war, a dispatch was
sent to Emperor William. full of solemn
patriotic illusions and urging him to inter-
cede in behalf of the Beers and postpone
his Journey to England.
The Berlin NOssche Zeitung commenting
on this, says: Vigorous protests should be
made against passionate and malevolent
treatment of the war, which gives color to
the idea that the Germans cannot do
enough to show their enmity for Great
Britain. The majority in this country have
nothing in common with the AngIo-phoba
in which the Hamburg meeting waded."
The paper then quotes Prince Bismarck s
dctum that Great Britain's friendship is
more useful TO Germany than the whole
valley of the Nile and the pyramids, add
ing: Had Prince Bismarck been an En-
gish minister. he would have acted toward
the Beers like the English government has
done"
The Berliner Neuste Nachrichten de-
scribes President Steyn's proclamation as
a false step that may have serious re-
suits
The Kolnische Zeitung pays tribute of
gallantry to the British officers, pointing
out that of the German loss in the battle
of Specheren only AZ per cent were officers,
while at Glencoe and Eiandsiaagte the En-
glish officers killed and wounded were 14Ja
per cent of the loss. -

A few year. ago New York newspaper conducted an open discussion upon the topic: "Is Marriage . Failure?" The answer Is easy and upon the surface. Where there is mutual love and respect. If there is also health, marriage is . success. When health is leA out, even the most ardent love does not count, and marriage is invariably . failure.
 Modern science has cried the warning 90 often that all should realize the daugers of wedloek to people in ill.health- In . case of this kind death turks on every side in the kiss of 6etrothal and the caress of the houeymoou. The man who is suffering from ill-health is physical bankrupt and has no right to condemn . woman to be his nurse for life and the mother of babes that inherit his physical weakness. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery acts directly on the digestive organism It makes it strong and its action perfect. When . mans di- gestion is all right his blood will be pure; when his blood is pure his nervous system will be strong and his health vigorous.
 A woman who suffers from weakness snd disease of the delicate organism of her sex is certain to suffer from general iii-health, and to 6e an unhappy. helpless invalid and disappointment e wife. Her chiidren will be weak, puny and peevish. A happy home Is an impossibility for her until her health is restored.
