Columbus Nov. 10.--The official count
in the Twelfth congressional district
was completed yesterday and demon
strates that Emmett b. Tompkins, Re-
publican. wins out over John j. Lentz,
Democrat. by eight votes. The result
had been In doubt and both sides were
exceedingly anxious until the official
count was taken. tentz can thank his
lucky stars that number Of Republic
cans decided to make Columbus their
voting place instead of going home;
otherwise ne would have lost. Colum-
biana county came near holding the
balance of power in the fight, for six
men forfeited their right to vote In
that county by remaining in Columbus
and depositing their ballots for the Re.
publican candidate.
Until the returns have been officially
tabulated by the secretary of state, the
size of the vote cast In the state will

dications are it will exceed that of any

made of sharr-pointed pieces, some
were half globes covered with spikes of
iron points, and all kinds of cruel de-
vices were used one being a little more
barbarous than the other for lacerat-
ing the tongue. After the horrible
thing was locked on the head. the
town beadle or constable or some 9TH
er officer Of the corporation would at
tech a string or chain to the Drank. and
lead the poor woman about the town,
followed by a bowling, hooting mob,
and often she was taken to the pill
lory, where she was chained down, the
target for cheap jokes, the object of in
suits and degradation. All this because
a woman "scolded."
A queer Drank that is kept in the
museum at Oxford, England, is a cage
like thing with a smooth gag or
m~outhpiece, and q hole for the nose
to pass through. Just above the
framework about the nose is a ring,
to which the leading strings are to
be attached. Another Drank bears an
initial wv" on it, and is surmounted
by a crown. 1t is supposed that this
belongs to the time of William III. A
Drank preserved in the museum in
Lincolnshire looks like a mask with a
megaphone attached. 1t is an iron
cage-like affair, with holes for eyes
and a followed out place for the nose.
Over the mouth is a long, perforated
funnel-like business, supposed to sug-
/ gest the long tongue of the wearer.
Some Of these branks are of intricate
mechanism, and by a gentle twisting
of nuts and cranks the refinement Of
torture could be inflicted. The poor
victim would be "jacked up" till she
ing, and then the pressure would be let
up, only to be applied again as soon
as she could endure it. One like a
mask Of iron is made with great hol-
lows for the starting eyeballs! The
name Drank" is supposed to be de-
rived from the Teutonic "pranghe," a
bride. A piece of torture machinery
that m of the same family was
could endure no more without faint
used in the Dutch Netherlands, and
called a "pranghe," or "jougs," from
yoke or collar, in which the neck OF
the culprit was held. This thing was
used also in the West Indies, and ex-
amples of it can still be found in Cuba
rusting in the Fashioned walls of the
prisons.

MUZZLING WOMEN.
TIME WHEN THE CRUEL GUS
TOM FLOURISHED.
And When Seeding Wives Were BrIdled
Like Horses and Chained Down In
the ~PiIIory-Some of the Muzzles as
Worn.

Scolding women used formerly to
be muzzled and several of these muz-
zlers, or branks, as they were called,
are still in existence. Imagine a mar
of the present day who because his
wife has lambasted him for staying too
late at the club, or who reads him the
rio act for any cause, taking her to
the commissioners and complaining Of
her az a "scold' and a nuisance to the
community" and asking that she be
given the limit of the law for the Of
Tense! Or, supposing him to be a man
of means, just contemplate the posi-
bility of his having a muZzle made
%purposely to fit his wife, and if she got
obstreperous, rushing to the door and
calling in a strapping big policeman,
who claps the muZzle on the poor wife,
while the husband holds her, and she
is then chained to the floor or the
wall. DR.. Wilson, in his prehistoric
Annals Of Scotland" mentions the
Drank as a Scottish instrument for
ecclesiastical punishment for coercion
Of scolds and slanderous gossips," And
these hung in the churches beside the
pulpits. Matthew Lowndes tells Of the
queer old houses, built in England, in
which were large ireplaces. At one
side of these fireplaces was a large
hook, and fastened to it a long chain.
At the end of the chain was the
"scold's Drank" or muzzle. This was
one of fhe customs of that mt ounr-
refined day, and it seems to have been
accepted as the proper thing. Oddly
enough, this muZzle was used almost
exclusively in England and Scotland.
Ireland was too ch:valric to use the
instrument of torture, letting her
women have equal rights with men in
the use of their tongues. The Drank

dore Perry.

The Daughter of the Famous Commo-
dore Perry.
Sarah e. Gardner, said to be the
daughter of Commodore Oliver Hazard
Perry, of Lake Erie fame, died at
Newport, R. l., the other day, at the
age of seventy years. The woman died
in a wretched howell, with no n to
attend her, where she had lived for
many years. The history Of this wo-
man is a story of misery and misfor-
tune, but the probate of her will has
furnished a sensation. Deceased left
an estate of at least $4,000, and per-
haps more.
In 1912 her mother was killed by a
railroad train in Newport, and since
that time she had lived as a servant
in the houses of Admiral Luce, Matil-
da Cass Ledyard, who died a year ago
in London, and a number of other
prominent society people in Newport.
When the deceased became too old
for active life she secured a little hut
on West Broadway, which became her
home up to the time of her death. Very
few persons were allowed by her to
enter her house, and those of her
neighbors who happened to call were
entertained on the outside step; the
most favored ones sometimes reached
her wretched kitchen. No one is
known to have ever gone beyond that
room.

sCoLD's BRIDLE-MEGA MUZZLE.

SCOLD'S BRIDLE-MEGA MUZZLE.
as this feminine muzzle vas surnamed,
is mentioned in literature as being
found in Edinburgh in 1867, in Glas-
gov in 1874, at Sterling in 1867, in
Macclesfield in Cheshire in 1923, and
was used in hat town as late as 1856.
By that date it's purpose had changed
greatly, however, and it was used to
qiuet its scarlet women The Drank
does not seem to have been authorized
by law at any time, but is constantly
referred to in the literature of the day
and seems to have been common
enough between the middle of the 10Th
and the beginning of the 10Th centu-
ries, for one meets with illusions to
it in all the corporation and munich

Sarah was ordered to stand with a
gag in her mouth at a public town
meeting and the cause of her offense
written and put on her forehead"
These branks were of varied patterns
and ONE were highly decorated. If a
woman was at all particular about the
Drank that she was to wear she could
accompany her husband when he went
to select a fireplace Drank, which seems
to have been as much a matter of
household furniture as beds or bu-
reaus. She could have a fleur de lis
rising from the top or a conventional
design of lily in iron. Some of the la
dies preferred scrolls and other deli
cate lattice work. BY the Kindness of
her husband she could select the paint
that would best harmonic with her
complexion, and then she could have
it striped with either gold or silver.
She could even select the chain by
which the Drank was to be fastened
in the chimneys corner. Happy the
woman, absurd and paradoxical as it
may seem. who had a husband who
would apply the Drank himself. Many
husbands preferred to have this done
by a public officer. The scold's bride
was made of iron, something on the
order of a horses bride, and was
clasped about the head and locked on.
Over the mouth was a piece of iron
which acted as a gag, ard was placed
in the mouth, so that the tongue could
not be moved. Some of the gags were
