Dressing for UgIy Windows.

1t is an effective trick to put a row Of
little evergreen trees or box bushes out

it is well to let 1t be in the care of the
florist who supplied it. Doing so is an
expense, but in the city where the rooms
are overheated in the day and allowed to
coal at night, and where gas is burned sey-
eral hours out of the twenty-four. the
window box is luxury. indeed

Nothing keeps the man so content as
the maintenance of his dignity as head Of

Many man Of genuine authority outside
his home has lost heart and poise be-

Many a man of small account among his

Daintiness that scores.

The girl with an air of dainty freshness
Is sure to be admired. She may not have
many changes of gowns, she may have
few hats. but If she has always the air
OF being just spick and span, she will
never lack charm. OF course she must be
almost perfection in details. The edges OF
her skirts fresh. her shoes carefully pol
ished. and handkerchief. neckwear. and
all her modest attempts at finery must be
crisply fresh. This means the strictest at
tention. Brushing and pressing will take
time, and once one establishes reputa-
ton for this sort of spotlessness, 1t must
be kept up, because what would not be
noticed about a careless woman would
seem dreadful untidiness- She is likely
to take to inelaborate clothes and simple
ways of wearing her hair. Furbelows and
frizzes are not easy tc keep spick and
span.

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-Both parties in Illi-

morrow's voting. Never have the plans of

comprehensive or laid with greater care

Tough: out with greater energy in this
State than the one that has just closed.
Both Democratic and Republican man.
ayers have made every preparation against
unlawful action at the polls by their op-
ponents. but there has been less talk of
such things this year than in prior cam
be no more fraudulent voting than occurs
at every city election.
The board of election commissioners late
at night commenced the distribution of
ballots to the various precinct judges but
although carefully systematized. the work
will be hardly completed by daylight Be-
cause of the great number of State and
this year are about the size of a small cir

A very full vote will be polled i'm the

of the warmest description and every eff
fort will be made to bring the full voting
strength of both parties into the field.
The Republicans, in particular are elated
at the prospect of fine weather tomorrow
and say Ii means their sure success. The
Democratic managers declare that weather
will make no difference and that rain or

can designate whether they wish to have
voting machines installed in this city or
whether they do not. They win not make
any mistake by voting in favor of the ma
chimes.
The voting machine Is not an experiment
any longer; IL has stood the test of use. IL
is a simple machine, not easily got out OF
order The voter pulls a curtain behind his
back, and by the simple process OF moving
pointers properly labeled, records his
choice FOR all the offices to be filed. He
can't make the same pointer count twice.
Each vote is automatically counted by the
machine, in the same way that fares are
registered in street cars. and when the
polls close the dials of the machine show
at a glance what the totals are.
The voting machine, and there are sew

one vote for candidate; IL makes ballot
box stuffing impossible; it counts every

Mckinley May Not Carry Pennsylva-
mia by 295.O72 To-Day.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 5.-Very little in
terest is manifested relative to the vote of
the State in the presidential contest, as
big Republican majority is conceded
even by the Democratic leaders. -Four
years ago Mc<inley's plurality in the State
was 2s5,O72 of which plurality Philadelphia
furnished 1873. The highest previous
plurality in the State for a presidential
candidate was 135,54S for Grant in 1872. In
1892 Harrisons plurality was eo,7E Nc
Kinley's plurality of four years ago will
no doubt be considerably reduced through
the return to their party of many Demo
Gratis who opposed Bryan in 1886. and 1t is
thought also that McKinley's vote Will
be reduced some extent on account OF
the fierce contests of the Quay and anti
QUAY Republicans TO obtain control of tho
next Legislature. The anti-Quay men in
some sections have Endorsed the Demo-
cratic legislative candidates. 1t Is be-
lieved that this will, in close sections,
have some effect against the head of the
Republican ticket. There is, therefore,
every indication of a considerable reduc-
ton in McKinley's figures of four years

McKinley's Plurality May Not BE Less
Than Seventy-seven Thousand.

DES MONIES. Ia. Nov. 5.-The chief
feature of the day before election in Iowa
was a statement issued by Chairman II.
ID. Weaver. of the Republican State CEN
trail committee, in reply to the public claims
by Chairman Huffman, of the Democratic
State central committee, that the Demo-
Gratis will carry fifteen more counties In
Iowa this year than heretofore, will elect
congressman in the First, Second, Sixth
and Eighth districts, and that they have
more than an even show to win in NTH

where he feels that the 1900 or more
plurality for Haugen two years ago
can be overcome. In Chairman Viewers
statement he directs attention to the pri-
vate circulars sent out by the Democratic
chairman, recommending the organization
of vigilance committees to watch the count
OF Iowa returns, and says in part There
have never been any attempts TO intro
duce Southern methods in Iowa campaigns,
and the Republicans do not propose to
stand il at this time. We know We have
the votes to carry the State by an over
whelming majority. These votes will be
polled and counted. There is absolutely
no question that Republicans will carry
every congressional district in Iowa. The
Republicans of Iowa will give Mckinley
and Roosevelt 1900 plurality, and will
elect every Republican congressional can
didate."

Governor Roosevelt Makes ~ Speech
at His Long Island Home.

NEW YORK, Nov. Ex-Governor Roose-
welt wound up the Republican national
campaign tonight by delivering an address
at Oyster Bay, L. l., before one OF the larg
est gatherings that ever assembled at that
place Pricr to the meeting there was

president of the Mckinley and Roosevelt
Club of Oyster Bay. presided over the
meeting. When the Governor appeared
he was greeted by long and continued APP
plause. He said I'm part:
In this campaign I have not only ap-
pealed TO the Republicans, but TO all who

to-day with those of four years ago, when
Mckinley became President. Mr.. Bryan
said if Mckinley were elected there would
be bad times. We said there would be
prosperity. and there has been.
'The triumph of silver would paralyze
business, and IL would hurt most the labor
ing man and the mechanic-those who are
paid by the week and month. There has
been greater prosperity in the last four
years than ever before. The price of prod

cannot be called an accident nor can

There Is no earthly excuse for the return

present administration. The people know
what is before them. and if they vote
against their own instincts it is their own
fault.
Tomorrow promises success The great
parade OF Saturday in New York certainly

hour after hour they marched in the rain
to testify their devotion to the cause of the
Nation and the flag, and it argues success"
Governor Roosevelt then discussed in a
general way the national issues. He was
frequently cheered. and at the close of the
meeting was rendered a great reception

SITUATION IN MINNESOTA.
Mckinley Will Carry the State, but
Vote for Governor May He Close.

Vote for Governor May He Close.
ST, PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 5.-This years
campaign in Minnesota has been closely
contested at nearly all points, although
the most work has been done by the Demo-
Gratis on the governorship and the three
railroad commissioners. Bryan, Roosevelt,
Woolley, Hanna and othe outside speakers
have been in the State and an active cam
paign has been made in many counties
where heretofore there had been only one
ticket named.
The Republicans closed their campaign
in this city tonight with four meetings.
A lette- from United States Senator Davis
Knute Nelson made three speeches in diff
ferent parts of the city and a grand rally
at the auditorium was addressed by Gen.
eral r. S. Bragg, of Wisconsin, Hon. w.
H. Poison and Hon. Daniel w. Eawler,
former Democratic national committeeman
from Minnesota.
The election of Minnesota Mckinley cleo
tors seems assured, the Democratic COM
mittee only expressing a belief in the pos
sibility of Bryan carrying the State with
out actually claiming II. The Republicans
place the Mckinley plurality at from 50, 900
to 1900. The reelection of Governor Lind
the Democrats by over 10000 which is the
figure given by the Republicans in their
claim for Vansant. The result for Cover
nor will undoubtedly be close. The Re-
publicans will elect the balance of their
State ticket down to railroad commission
ers, on what the Democrats have put up
stfn fight, making the result doubtful.

Republican and Democratic Chairmen
Both Claim Maryland by 10000.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov. Son the night
before election the leaders CT both polit-
ical parties profess to be confident of vic

sides claiming the State by pronounced
majorities. Before leaving for his home
in Hartford county tonight, whittier he
goes to vote, Chairman Murray Vandiver,
of the Democratic State central commit
tee said: IL have no besitancy in claim
ing that We will carry the State by from
5000 to 10000 and that both city and coun-
ties will contribute to that end. We Will
not only carry the State for Bryan. but
will elect four congressman sure, and 1t

Chairman Phillips Lee Goldsborough. of
the Republican state committee, said to-
day that he looks for even larger ma
jority than the Loco which he mentioned
last night as his estimate, and insists that
Marylands congressional delegation will
be entirely Republican. He will not go
tc Cambridge to vote, but will remain at
headquarters throughout the day. Senator

Widely Divergent views.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 5.-Democrats express
The utmost confidence in their ability to
place Alexander NJ. Dockery in the guber-
material chair by a plurality of 10000 and
upwards, and of giving the national ticket
majority Of from 10000 to 1900. The Re-
publicans are equally confident. Many be-
lieve Mckinley and Roosevelt will have a
slight majority over Bryan and Stevenson,
and that Railroad Commissioner Joseph
Flory will be entitled to take his seat in
the Governors chair. Others, not so SAN
guine, think that the Democratic national
ticket will show a greatly reduced plural
ity The Democrats say they will elect
thirteen out OF fifteen congressman to be
voted for, and the Republicans expect to
elect five out of the fifteen, gain of two.
