Republicans in Delaware are disposed
to resent the Democratic claim that the
little old State will cast its electoral vote
for Bryan They are inclined to build up
a large hope upon the fact that there is
a large registration of negro voters. The
Democrats, on the other hand, are count
ing upon favorable results from the quiet
conservative vote
The Wilmington Every Evening says:
Estimates of both sides place large
number bt voters in the doubtful column.
and it is altogether probable that these
doubtful voters will determine the re-
suit
- Col. C. B. Durham, of Woodfcrd county,
Keatucky stated at Democratic heal
quarters at the Metropolitan Hotel ms
morning that he believed the Blue Grass
State would give Bryan $4,000 majority,
and that meant the election of the e1tire
State Democratic ticket. My advics
from Kentucky" said CoIonsl Durham.
ARE most encouraging. The Democratic
State and county organizations are work.
ing in perfect harmony, and that means
we will get cut the full Democratic vote.
The Republicans have an immense fund
on which they rely to carry the State,
but nossy this year will avail the Re-
publicans nothing. Kentucky is as sure
for Bryan as Maine is for Mckinley.

SANITARY SLEEPING CARS.
Disease Breeding characterization to
Be Done Away With.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. Impressed with
the soundness of the arguments made
by DIR. j. N. Hurry at the recent cOnven-
ton OF the International Railway Sur
geonS association in Detroit, the man
agementS of the Big Four and Chesa-
peake & Ohio railroads have decided
that the time-honored plush-cOvered
seats, intricate fret and grille work,
carved panels, springy carpets and box
ed heating pipes shall be excluded from
the interior arrangement of passenger
coaches to be built for their use in the
future. DIR. Hurry argued that plain
ness and simplicity of passenger coach
sanitary conditions, and the manage
mentS of these lines, believing that rich
simplicity, combined with good, prac-
teal sense, is as fully attractive and sat
isfactory as the present eIaborateness of
interior arrangements, will begin what
most important railroad reforms ever
suggested.
DIR. Hurty's advocacy of simplicity
and pIainnesS in paSSen ger coaches has
found marked favor with the manage
ments of other railroads, too, and pas
long before the departure from elaborate
interiors will be general. DR.. Hurry
would have hardwood floors, covered
with rubber tile or rubber strips to pre-
vent slipping, and he would have as
few crevices and cracks as possible, for
and disease germs. Under no condition,
he declares, should carpets be used. He
holds that they absorb too much filth
and dirt, in spite of the carefulness of
the car cleaners In order to relieve the
barren appearance Of the advocated in
the panels be painted, frescoed or stem
ci1ed.

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS

The sale of seats for Hoyt's "A Day
and a. Night at the Crawford theater
Monday night, is now open. The farce
comes here from Kansas City where it
is having a successful run at the Grand
opera house. A Day and Night"
abounds in continuous action, and re-
wolves upon theme for its axis that is
not threadbare nor rusty; namely the
funny adventures of Mr.. Marble Hart a
country deacon who comes to New York
to seek talent for the village choir. All
the ladies in the company that presents
the play this season are young, graceful
and professionally well known to the
atergoers. The male element is COM
prised of popular footlight favorites, and
the management of Mr.. Hoyt's farce is
in the hands of Mr.. VIM. H Currie. by
whom public confidence has never been
betrayed. Mr.. Currfe is unlike many
managers who advertise what they have
not got and who make promises they
never fulfill.

John F. Phillips in the United States
