Upham, ". NJ, Sept. About 7 this
morning the body of a man was found
by the section foreman three miles

apparently 30 years old.
The county authorities refused to
have anything to do with the case and

parture every day. The latest venture
Of the enterprising authorities Of the
tloWery Land is in the direction Of
architecture, a matter in which up to
the present Japan has been particularly
conservative.
1t will be remembered that the Grown
Prince Yoshihito was married a short
time ago and amid universal rejoicing.
1t has been found that there is no place
sufficiently magnificent to accommo-
date the royal couple, and it has, there
fore, been decided to build near Toxic
a dwelling which shall rival in splen
dor anything existing in the East and
possibly even surpass the royal palaces
OF Europe and the magnificent struc-
lures Of America.
10 achieve this object it was neces-
sary that Japan's architects should see
some of the buildings of the West, and
accordingly Prof. Toro Iwamura and
Mr.. Sano, the former member of the
Toxic Academy of Fine Arts, and the
later an architect in the employ of the
Japanese Government, have started on
a tour with this purpose in view. After
visiting various cities in the United
States and Canada they will extend
their tour to Europe.-I<ondon Daily

nominated him for the presidency. Ow-

he did not receive the electoral vote of

date, Taylor, won the prize.
Horace Greeley's defeat in the presi-
Dental contest Of 1872, with it's direful
aftermath, was political tragedy. High
in the councils of the Republican party,
respected by the whole people, Greeley
put aside the political principles Of a
lifetime to become the candidate Of Dem
ocracy. Overwhelming defeat broke his
generous heart and was quickly followed
by death.
Samuel J. Tilden's failure to be inau
gurated as President Of the United States
is the one weak link in the presidential
chain that connects the present with the
dawn Of the republic.
The result Of the contest in 1876 was
in doubt from the close of the polls on
election day until March 2, 1877, when
the electoral commission appointed to set
tie the matter decided that Rutherford
B. Hayes had received 185 votes as
against 1874 for Samuel J. Tilden.

inasmuch as the rails were rolled in the

years later have generally been credited
with being the earliest The former were
designed by Robert L. Stevens, who was
sent to England to have them made.

the task, not, however. before guarantees

81 L is the very essence of presidential
J election that some candidate must get
left. Some one must be disappointed.
And IN the history Of the republic many
great men have sought and lost this COW
eted prize. Three great names stand out
prominently in the list-Clay, Webster
and Blainc-each the idol of his party,
each the victim of political scheming.
Aaron Burr, just Il hundred years ago,
missed the presidency by the narrowest
margin. lie was an adept in political
intrigue, with magnetic personality and
a brilliant mind that won him equal favor
III the eyes Of the voters with Jefferson.
Each received seventythree votes and
this threw the election into the House of
Representatives. Thirty-tve ballots were
taken without result.
The Ecderalists were anxious to defeat
Jefferson and they gave their support to
Burr until the thirty-sixth ballot. Then,
Bur: refused to give pledges required Of
him, their support was withdrawn and
Jefferson was chosen. In accordance
with the law Of those days Burr became
Vice-President. But he was a disap-
pointed man. Following his defeat for
the presidency came the fatal duel with
Hamilton, the Blennerhasset scandal, his
troltorous attempt to divide the country,
his temporary exile and social obscurity.
