Women and Outdoor Sport.

Some interesting people abroad have
been talking about women and outdoor
sports. Whatever may be said for or
against what women does or does not
do, it is certain that the world never
seems tired of talking about her.
The queen of Roumania, who heads
the list of interesting people, apparent
ly fears that woman in sports will not
still be womanly. IF sports gives rise
to any disquietude with me-" she says,
''it is because fear to see the chival-
rous man slain by the modern ANA
zon."

thing that woman does if she only
keeps as far as possible from resem-

superiority over men and man will re-
main, or rather, once more become,

muscles, hardens the heart.

That is hard for the up-to-date wo-

as moral development and the tending
to individuality which the practice of
sports brings to young girls. He be-
lieyes that the comradship between
young men and women through out

ELECTORAL REVIEW
RESULTS AS DISCLOSED BY LAT
EST RETURNS.
MKINLEY GETS NEBRASKA
Kentucky the Only State Carried by
Him in 1885 Which He Fails to
Hold This Year, but He Takes
Several Others-Senate and House
Heavily Republican.

The latest returns from Tuesdays
election indicate that Mckinley car
ried q states and Bryan IS.
The president has again been sue
cessful in every state which he won in
1896 except Kentucky, which has re-
turned to the democratic column. In
addition, he has carried Kansas,
Nebraska, South Dakota, Utah, Wash
ington and Wyoming, which declared
for Bryan in 1896. His electoral vote
is 292 and Bryan's is 1855; McKinley's
plurality, 1877, as compared with 95 in
1896.
McKinley's estimated plurality OF
the popular vote is 721, 291. His plu-
rality in 1896 was 601,854.
Late returns indicate that there will
be 40 republicans, q democrats and
four or five independents in the senate
There are still five seats in doubt, two
being in Nebraska.
AS to the house returns received up
to late hour give these totals: Re
publicans, 203; democrats, 14S; popu-
lists, A, and silverites, /.
A singular feature of the congress.
ional results is that in the thirteenth
district of Pennsylvania. the center of
the recent strike of coal miners. there
were heavy republican gains.
The plurality for Mckinley in Mary
land was 1895. His total vote in the
state was about 136,S00, which is 20
600 in excess of the vote for Lowndes
in 1899. Bryan's total vote was about
1850 or 5000 less than that cast for
Gov. Smith last year.
Latest returns from West Virginia
indicate majority of from $4,000 to
10000 for Mckinley. The republicans
elect solid delegation of four to con
gress and the legislature is largely re-
publican, assuring the reelection of
United States Senator S. b. Elkins.
The eligibility of James A. Hughes in
the fourth congressional district is be-
ing questioned
In Nebraska the vote is somewhat
close. The democrats claim that
Bryan has carried the state by about
1000 and that the fusionists will have
a majority in the legislature, but re-
turns give Mckinley majority Of
1000.

THE WHITE DEATH.
The Terrible Frozen Fog of the
Rockies.

Rockies.
OF all the natural phenomena pecu-
liar to the Rocky mountain region
none is more strange or terrible than
the mysterious storm known to the In
dams as the white death" Scien-
tific men have never yet had an OPP
portunity of investigating it, because
it comes at the most unexpected times
and may keep away for certain
locality for years. Well-read men who
have been through it say that it is
really a frozen fog. But where the fog
comes from is more than anyone can
say. This phenomenon occurs most
frequently in the northern part of
Colorado, in Wyoming and occasional
ly in Montana.
Will Sparks, writing in Ainslie's
Magazine of this singular phenomenon,
tells this authentic story of it.:
About two years ago party of
three women and two men were cross
ing North Park in wagon in Febru-
airy. The air was bitterly cold, but dry
as bone and motionless. The sun
shone with almost startling brilliancy.
AS the five people drove along the
crisp snow they did not experience the
least cold, but really felt most COM
Portable, and rather enjoyed the trip.
Mountain peaks so miles away could
be seen as distinctly as the pine trees
by the roadside.
Suddenly one of the women put her
hand up to her face and remarked that
something had stung her. Then other
members of the party did the same
thing, although not sign of an insect
could be seen. All marveled greatly
at this. A moment later they noticed
that the distant mountains were disap-
pearing behind cloud of mist. Mist
in Colorado in January! Surely there
must be some mistake. because within
10 minutes a gentle wind began to
blow and the air became filed with
fine particles of something that scinti-
lated like diamond dust in the sun
shine. Still the people drove on until
they came to cabin. where a man
signaled to them to stop. With his
head tied up in bundle of muffiers he
rushed out and handed the driver a
piece of paper on which was written
Come into the house quick. or this
storm will kill all of you. Don't talk
outside here
"Of course no time was lot in get
ting under cover and putting the
horses in the stables. But they were
little late, for in less than an hour
the whole party was sick with violent
coughs and fever. Before the next
morning one of the women died with
all the symptoms of pneumonia. The
others were violently i'll of it. but man
aged to pull through after long sick
ness.
81 seen you people driving along
the road long before you got to my
house, and knowed you didn't know
what you were drivin' through said
the man, as soon as the surviving
members of the party were able to
talk. That stuff ye seen in the air is
small pieces of ice, frozen so cold it
goes clear down into your lungs with
out melting. If any man stayed out a
few hours without his head covered up
he would be sure to die. One winter
about eight years ago it cleaned out a
whole Indian tribe across the Wyom-
ing line. There are more afraid of it
than they are of rattlesnakes. That's
the reason they call it the white
