Mckinley and Roosevelt were sue
ceesful at the polls Tuesday. Tie
New York Journal gives Mckinley
905 in the electoral college, gain
over 1896. A republican United
States Congress is assured. The coun-
try thus gives its emphatic answer to
those who have been so busy denounc-
ing the administration. and gives that
administration the best sign of its ap-
proval and confidence by continuing
it in power another four years. The
same prosperity will be continued,
and our foreign possessions will be
governed by the wise. firm hand of the
United States until better way is
found. The gold standard will be up
held, and our place in the family of
nations will still be one of honor. The
administration will be true to party
platform declarations as in 1896. The
victory is certainly one for fair, hon
est and upright government.

DANCING IN RUSSIA.

POLITICS IS NOW A TRADE.
Men Want Pay for Service Former.
Iy Considered Patri-
Otto Duty.

In modern politics have many times
known of more money spent in single
ward for the election of a councilman
than the entire amount contributed in
1860 to carry the Pennsylvania election
in October that gave the republicans
absolute victory in November, says
Col A. X. Mcclure, in the Saturday
Evening Post. There is not an earnest
ly contested Legislative district in this
city that does not cost thousands of dol
lars to run the campaign and pay the
party workers; and recent contest for
nomination in one of the senatorial dis
tricts of Philadelphia cost the opposing
fractional leaders not less than 500, 900.
Under our present system political
leaders make politics a trade, and every
ward and precinct has host of men
who live by politics and who refuse to
give political service of any kind UNI
less literally paid. In 1860 there was
not an attempt made to buy vote for
Curtin in the entire state, and, except
ing in rare instances, where special and
unusual service was required, the entire
work of that great battle, that rev.
a nation, was willingly per-
formed without pay as a matter of
patriotie duty.

OLDEST DELUSION YET.
Kingston Lunatic Thinks He's a

for piece of toast big enough to sit
down on. When visitors come and
meet him he always approaches them
with the request for moments con-

fectly harmless the keepers do not put
any restrictions upon him, reports the
New York Sun. If you grant his re-
quest he whispers in your ear:

Naturally this request leads to laugh.
ter, and the poached egg retires in high
dudgeon, but he comes back regularly
on the arrival of the next batch of
visitors to see if he can't have better
luck. All sorts of things which look
like toast have been supplied to the
man, but he wants the real thing, and
as chairs and touches are not made out
OF toasted bread, he is obliged to go ON
making his perpetual plea to visitors.
In all other respects the man seems
normal, and, if this crazy idea coulA
only be got out of his head he might
obtain his discharge. AS he persists
in his delusion he will probably spend
the rest of his days in the asylum.

ONE ON THE MOOSE,

AS you know, Maine is one of the best
hunting regions in the world, and, though
remote, as it is, from the busy centers, it
is made accessible by the network of
railroads which run in every direction
iuto the vast forests of the state.
Deer are plentiful, and the sportsman
who goes into the woods and does not
bring down at least one deer is hardly en-
titled to be called sportsman; in fact,
they are so numerous that they are often
seen feeding in the pastures along with
the cattle.
OF course, the huntsman in search of
moose has to penetrate deep into the
forest, and oft times the hunt becomes
perilous and many hardships are encount-
cred, though in the excitement of the
chase the dangers are forgotten.
The variations of the incidents of
moose hunt are always interesting. so
that the following notes will not be out
of place:
After a days wearisome tramp, we
pitched camp not far from what is known
as moose-yard. The night air was bit
terly cold. and when we awoke we found
the ground covered with Snow-a fine
condition for moose hunting. We plodded
along for perhaps two hours when we
came suddenly upon the tracks of a
moose; these we followed for some time
without anything of Importance happen
slight rise there appeared before us the
form OF moose. He was a fine specimen.
His antlers spread out with kingly mag
nificence, and he hardly seemed to appre-
ciate the nearness of his captors We
moved with great caution, hoping to at
tain position where better shot could
be possible, and just as my friend fired
the old fellow, evidently seeming trou-
BILE, started away at brisk gait
The shot, however, overlook him. for
Immediately there was snort and tear
ing about that was something frightful
The battle was then on, and for short
time it was fast and furious. We sought
shelter where the operations of "his mai
esty" could be observed without bodily
harm. His threshings continued for
some few minutes, when suddenly he
made start in our direction, and to tell
the truth, felt little squirmy the cap
tain was right at home, and he fired. The
shot plowed into the shoulder of the in
furiated monster and impeded his prog
ress the second and third shots brought
him down, and a more pleasing party of
huntsmen is seldom seen.
The Boston and Maine railroad and its
connections lead direct to the great game
regions of Maine and New Hampshire,
and the publication which is issued by
the Boston and Maine Passenger Depart
ment, Boston, known as Fishing and
Hunting" describes how and where to
shoot Send for it; the cost is but two
cent stamp.

FIreproof Dwellings for Russia.

Mr.. Porokhovstchikow, who some
time ago published an important work
dealing exhaustively with the system
to be adopted for the sanitation of ST.
Petersburg and Moscow, has recently
been among the rural population, ad-
vising the adoption of incombustible
wood for village dwellings, says a Rus
sian correspondent. He has built in
the environs of Moscow a freproof
village. which a government official
has been sent to report upon. If the
result of the experiment proves salts
factory there will be great future for

Mr.. George Gould has been appoint

the Countess de Castellane. The rea-
son for this step is that the Count has
spent the sum of $4,6OO,OOO in four
years, which is twice the Countess in
come. 1t is said that, for one thing,
the Count tried to publisha newspaper,
when he knew nothing about the bust
ness. We should imagine that this
would be rather an expensive expert
ment. The chief reason, however, for
the enormous sum expended were that
the Count is naturally spendthrift.

The recent fad for perfumed beds has

pad, thoroughly sacheted, beneath the

Conservative women, however, do
not approve of this method. They
stick to the custom of their grand
mothers and the nearest their beds
come to being perfumed is from the

they exhale. Sprigs of this old-fash-

Whom Peelinr Onions.

The pungent odor Of the onion. is due
to sulphurous oil, which volatilizes
rapidly when the tissues Of the vege-
table Is broken in any manner, and es-
pecialy affects the delicate membranes
surrounding the eyes. This effect, how
ever. can be easily avoided by stick
ing small pared potato on the end of
the knife with which the cutting is
done. A chemical affinity, which can
not be readily explained, but which is
none the less satisfactory in it's
working, attracts the fumes, and their
presence is not manifested to the opar-
ator till the potato has reached a GER
tain degree Of saturation, when it can
be readily replaced by another.
