One of the institutions of New York
that are praised by all the public with
out reserve is the course of free lee
lures in the public schools These lee
lures are given before splendid audi
ences and, as a rule, by persons of
veraclty and intelligence. Occasion
ally, however, in order to get lecture
on rare subject great risks are run.
Recently a lecture was given by Il
person who had been on an excursion
to the North cape. Among other won
derful things he saw there was the
eclipse of the sun. He gasped for
breath as he told of the weirdly grand
sight. He told of the streamers of fire
that blaZed from the obscured orb to
all quarters of the heavens. But his
frenzy carried him too far for a public
school audience, for he declared that
among the stars made visible in the
midst of day he saw the planets cir
cling in their courses He even called
the planets that he saw b. name. but
he made a fatal mistake. He said he
saw Neptune.
This statement called for a round of
sarcastic applause That he mistook for
commentator, for he smiled in a hap
by way as it echoed through the halls
Evidently he did not know that Nep-
tune is invisible except with the most
powerful telescopc.-New York Mail

A CYCLING BALLAD.

Oh, why doth Hubert sit apart
And make such doleful cheer?
To him the world is bleak and gray,
The times are OCT of gear.
His grief, his melancholy, is
From day to day the same,
The picture Of a sorrow that,
With sobs doth shake the frame.
Oh, Hubert loved a maiden and
He loved the maiden well;
She was the baron's daughter, of
The countryside the bell.
Twas not for him, a low born churl,
With rank and state to meddle,
Who went, with pack upon his back,
His folderals to pedal.
But love scorns all distinctions, and
The cost is never counting;
Dan Cupid lights fame that is
Forever higher mounting.
And Hubert, meath the lady's bower
Would breathe his fond desire;
Nor yea nor nay she said, and yet
His fond heart knew no tire.
One month he's been upon his rounds,
away from nome so ueaf;
His heart it yearns and now he turns
A gladstone course to steer.
But four short weeks, and absence feed
The fame of loves young torch;
Her bower in sight, it burns so bright
That he is like to scorch.
Below her window, barred he sits,
All underneath the stars;
To climb he'd fain, but it were vain
To climb and handle bars.
And so he sighed, as lovers will,
In high falutin manner,
Would she were by my side that
Around her waist might spannerr"
But, 10, the shadowy forms that DER
The grassy silence skip
Before he has perceived them they
Right up to his side slip.
"What bird of i'll omen art thou
That here doth cav and croak?
bid thee answerl' And it was
The baron's voice that spoke
81 am the peddler, Hubert, and
| fain would have for bride
Thy beauteous daughter, but | know
My suit thou wouldst de- ride"
Then loud and long the baron laughed,
While Hubert knelt and truckled;
Last week my daughter went to church
And to mate was buckledl"
Young Hubert fell unto the ground
As though struck by a club
''Nay, nay!" he cried, but they replied,
''Yea, yea; she's ta'en a hubl"
He did not know was he in dreams
Or sleeping or awake;
OF his love robbed, he simply sobbed
AS though his heart would brake.
But soon they brought him round again
With many a cuff and thump,
Then took and held his added pate
Beneath the streaming pump
And that's why Hubert sits apart;
Canst wonder now at him?
His bitter cup is full right up
And running DER the b. rim

REPUBLICN
VICTORY!
Mckinley Carries the Country
by a Large Vote. More
States Than in 1896 Endorse
the Administrator

Returns received from the several
states up to the present time show a
decided republican victory. Nc
Kinley's plurality is cut down con.
siderably but still he has large
vote in all the states. 1t may be
said of Bryan that while he showed
gains In the eastern states, his vote
IN the west fell off Below is par
tial result and estimate in some of
the important states:
Nevada For Bryan between 500
and 1000.
South Dakoto-Repubicans car
ry the state. Returns coming in
slowly but show a republican gain.
Massachusetts The New York
Journals Boston special places Nc,
kinley's plurality at 10000.
Connecticut-N Ninety five towns
in Connecticut give Mckinley 23,-
OO7, Bryan l2,549; democratic gain
COIL.
Michigan-The returns and estim-
ates indicate that Bliss, republican,
has carried the state for governor
by 10000.
Connecticut-The plurality for
Mckinley, with practically all the
returns in, is fixed at about twenty
three thousand
New Hampshire-The democratic
state chairman comedies that the re-
publicans have carried the state by a
plurality of 10000.
lndiana-Thirty eight precincts
in Indiana give Mckinley 1929,
Bryan 34,780 Same in 1896 gave
Mckinley 4l,9oo, Bryan 35,25o
Republican gain ,S02.
Ohio--The republican leaders
claim Ohio has given Mckinley ov-
er 10000 plurality, and, with the
election of Tompleins here over
L.entz, at least II congressman.
California Incomplete returns
from 70 out Of 303 precincts in San
Francisco: Mckinley 1912, Bryan
88l. Register Walsh says McKin-
ley's majority in the city will ex-
ceed 1000.
Oregon-l67 precincts cut of 772
including the city of Portland, gave
Mckinley 1868, Bryan S,555. If
the same ratio is maintained McKin-
ley will have plurality of 10000
in the state.
Observation-Disclosures from the
state are coming in slowly, but in
dlcations are that Mckinley leads
Bryan by large majority and is
well in advance of the republican
state candidates.
Colorado Returns received indi-
cate that Colorado has given Bryan
at least 10000 plurality. The fus-
ion state ticket is probably elected
by that plurality and it appears that
the fusionists will have majority
of the Legislature.
Kansas. Macklove, chairman
of the Kansas democratic state CEN
trail committee, made the following
statement: 81 fear Kansas has
gone republican and Mckinley and
Stanley will carry the state by a
small majority"
Illinois Chairman Rowe, repub-
lican state committeeman, claims Ill
inois will be carried by Mckinley
by 100000. ExCongressman Hin
richson conceded state to Nc cKinley
by 10000, but claimed Alschuler,
democratic candidate for governor,
elected by 10000.

will carry the state by forty thous-
and, but claims that the democratic
candidate for governor, Mr.. Bomb
rich, will carry the state by 10000.
Nebraska-The returns from the
state are coming in slowly, less than
I'400 out of ! ,6lI precincts having re-
ported. These indicate an apparent
plurality of from two thousand to
four thousand in the state for Nc
Kinley, although the fusionists say
only the republican precincts are be-
ing heard from
Mary yland-M Mckinley has carried
Maryland beyond shadow of
doubt, the only question to be set
tied being the size of the majority.
With practically complete returns
from Baltimore he has majority of
about $500 while from the state
scattering returns indicate an addi-
tional surplus of $500 making his
total majority in the state about
10000.
Moth Dakota Returns are com
ing in very slowly but earlier fig
ures Of $4,000 for Mckinley and ten
thousand for the republican state
ticket, including congressman, are
very nearly correct, with the possi-
bic exception of attorney general
Fusionists claim the election of John
Carmody. Ninety seven precincts
give Mckinley a majority of 1914
against majority in 1896 of 5,764.
New Jersey-lncomplete returns
from different parts of the state indi-
cate that New Jersey has been car
rled for Mckinley and Roosevelt by
more than 10000. The republicans
elect SIX of the eight congressman,
the same representation as last year
and will have an overwhelming ma
jority in both houses of the leoisla-
ture, lnsuring the election of re
publican to succeed W. J. Sewell,
republican as United States senator.
New York k-1ndications are that
Mckinley has carried New York
state by majority over Bryan of
abour 100000 as compared with
republican majority in the last pres
idential election of 268,469. The
total vote in the city of New York
is approximately G0,0O0 larger than
it was in 1896, and up the state the
increase is about 10000. In the
city Bryan wiped out the plurality
of 10000 which Mckinley had four
years ago and took on a plurality
for himself of about $4,000.
Kentucky-At midnight the re-
suit of the election in Kentucky was
in doubt, with both sides claiming
the state and presidential tickets
Chairman Leslie Comds of the re-
publicans' state congressional com
ittee, said: Official returns from 2S
counties have been received In
these counties Beckham for govern
or has gained 1,039 over Goebel last
year, while Yerkes has gained 1902
over Taylor in the same counties
last year. Indications are that
Yerkes has been elected by a safe
majority. In the presidential race
Mckinley has probably run 1900
behind Yerkes in the same counties.
The result will depend on the size
of the majority in the eleventh con-
gressional district, which is heavily
republican.

miles to the northeast. Gen. Young's
column advanced north to San Mic

marched north between these two
lines. Gen. Wheaton's force landed at

H0raeA in Auckland.

Horses are so cheap in Auckland that
pedestrianism bids fair to become ex-
tinct. The postman does his rounds
on horseback; the butcher, huge bas-
ket slung over his arm, canters up with
ordeIed provender. Schoolboys, two
frequently sharing mount, ride to
school, where paddock is reserved for
their ponies. Even the lampl1ghter
performs his duties perched on an am
bling nag, while the droves OF live
stock passing along the roads are al
ways under the care of mounted es-
cort. When an outdoor man is sent on
an errand that would entail walking
q quarter of mile he invariably spends
ten minutes in catching horse that he
NAV ride. But more ludicrous than all
else was it to see sweep, his atten-
ton to the kitchen chimney completed,
canter off on his nag, with the bag of
SCOT perched on the saddle before him.
AS an instance of the topsy-turvy
state of things antipodean, it may be
mentioned that it is considered smarter
to drive in hired carriage than in your
own trap.-Blackwoods.

IS A FAMOUS LAWYER.
Judge Simeon f. Baldwin, Who Will
BE Preaident of the Interna-
tiOnaI Law Association.

Judge Simeon E. Baldwin, of New
Haven, Conn, who will next year sue
coed Sir Richard Webster, attorney
generalof England, in the eminent po-
sition of president of the Internation-
al Law association, is not only a
learned jurist, but one who has dis
tinguished himself for many odd fan
cies that from time to time have at
tracted attention in all parts of the
country.
1t was only this year that the judge
urged the necessity of resorting to
the use of the whipping post in Con-
necticut. This commentator he
made to the municipal judges of Con-
necticut, of whose supreme court
Judge Baldwin is Il member. This
was in February. In September he
made himself the most conspicuous
