Curious Facts In A Nut Shell.

There was queer genius at the

encountered in faddists, says the
Charlestown News and Courier. His
name is Riley V. Moore, and he
hailed from Battle Creek. Michigan.

following bit of information that
may prove interesting:
The Twentieth Century will COM
mence with the first second of jan
uary l, 1901, and will occur in the
midst of the Pacific ocean, along a
line conforming in general to the
meridian of one hundred and eighty
degrees east and west longitude
from Greenwich. There is here no
land of consequence to salute the
new century; no human eye, save
perchance that of the watch on
board some tiny ship, will be there
to see it's entrance, and it's only well
come will be, perhaps, the last
stroke of the eight bells marking
midnight on board some steam
ship or vessel which, by chance,
may cross the meridian at that in
slant. 1t will open on Tuesday aud
Yclose on Sunday. 1t will have the
,k&eatest number OF leap years pos

Fourth of July and Thanksgiving

the week. Then, after that the same
thing will happen at the following
Intervals: Six, eleven, eleven, six,

A Bankers Generosity.

In chapter of "reminiscences Of Won
Bunsen and his friends, in The Cen
fury, the Hon. John Bigelow tells this
anecdote of Humboldt:
One day he was dining with Men
delssohn. the banker. and, an unusual
thing for him, was very silent His
host, remarking it, observed to Hum
boldt that he was sure he must be ill.
NO. said Humboldt, "but am in
great trouble. Only ten minutes before
leaving my apartment to come here !
received from my landlord a note in
forming me that he had sold the house
in which | reside and that | must
move. The very thought drives me to
despair. ! really cannot bear to move
again."
Mendelssohn gradually led Humboldt
into conversation, during which he
found time to write a note and receive
an answer to it. He then took Hum
boldt aside, and said: "By this note
learn that am now the owner of the
house in which you reside. The condi.
ton, however, upon Which have be-
come it's possessor is that you continue
to occupy your apartment in 1t as long
as you live"

ALL is QUIET.
No Sign Of Trouble In New York
City.

New York, Nov. 6.--(Spl.) .)-Cool.
clear weather is bringing out voters
in hosts. The polls opened at 9 a. m.
and from the stroke Of the hour the
battle of ballots began. A tremendous
vote is being polled, nearly every dis
tIict reporting that the ballots were
coming In at the rate of one minute,
1here'is practically no cutting or
scratching, judging from the rapidity
with which the ballots are cast. Re-
ports from oil over the city show the
election is proceeding quietly.
Chief Devery said at s o'clock this
morning: Everything seems to be
PR crossing quietly. There does nor
appear to he trouble in any part of the
city and do not contemplate any. If
trouble does come, however, we will
be prepared for 1t.
In New York city alone there are
more votes being cast than George
Washington received when he was
unanimously elected president, 10S
years ago.
There are 639,223 registered voters
in Greater New York and 1922 voting
precincts in which they will deposit
their ballots.
The polls remain open until p, M

Had Cut a Hole Through the
Ceiling.
Same Trick Was Tried Several Weeks
Ago.

The prisoners at the county jail plan
ned to hear the election returns first
handed Tuesday night.
The culprits figured that Sheriff Kel-
ly ana all of the jail attaches would
be engaged in receiving the returns,
SO they set about to plan little lark.
Their schemes, however, failed TO
work and the plans for successful
Jail delivery were thwarted.
When Sheriff Kelly entered the
large corridor at noon Tuesday be
found the inmates in state OF confus'
ion. He at once surmised that all
was not right and he began an lnvesti'
gatlop. In the southeast corner Of the
room In the ceiling over the iron cages
he found that n hole about Is by 20
inches had been cut The wood had
been sawed with a crude instrument,
probably case ku fe. The intention
Of the Jail breakers was to break out
onto the roof and make charge TOR
liberty.
Sheriff Kelly believes that "Yockev
Snyder and Frank Slckles are the ring
leaders. These prisoners were search
ed hut nothing was found.

tions have been made for receiving the

excitement. Practically all who have
votes in the States this side of the
Rockies, have gone home to vote, and
as result the government depart
ments are conducted by handful of
district clerks. All the cabinet off
GERS except Secretary Of State Hay
and Secretary of the Treasury Gage
have gone to vote. Secretary Hay
Is the only member of President Nc
Kinleys official family that has no
vote. His home is in Washington. Sec
retaries Hay and Gage with probably
dozen invited guests will gather at
the White House this evening to re-
ceive, the returns. They will be in
communication with Canton, New
York and Chicago by long distance
telephone and will receive bulletins
by wire from all important points.
Representative Loudenslager, in
charge of the branch of the Republi-
can Congressional committee at the
Normandie, will receive returns there
tonight. He is at present in New Jer-
sey casting his ballot but will return
by an afternoon train. Representa-
tive Richardson, chairman of the
Democratic Congressional committee,
will learn the result of the battle in the
headquarters of the Metropolitan ho-
tel The two Congressional commit
tees will probably be the gathering
points for the adherents of the respec-
tive parties. Both are expected to
keep "open house" until the fate of the
candidates Is known. The newspapers
of the Capital will display returns on
huge screens upon Pennsylvania ave.,
and If the crowds are so large that
all cannot get view of the figures
they announce they will supplement
the stereoptican service with the meg
aphone. Several of the theaters an
nounce midnight shows for the bene-
fit of the all-nighters at which returns
will be read from the stage between
acts.

TURKEY MUST PAY ir.
American Claims Can no Longer Go Un-
settled,


Washington, April 81. The news OF
the firm attitude assumed by the state
department toward the Turkish gov
ernment in the prosecution of its claim
for damages TO American missionary
property caused something OF sensa.
tion in diplomatic circles today. Three
successive American ministers have
prosecuted these claims; each received
q promise OF prompt settlement, and
yet not dollar has been paid. With
European diplomats that Is an old ex-
perience, and they have consequently
been somewhat surprised at the an
nouncement that the United States
government Is actually going to insist
upon performance, instead Of promise.
Minister Angel, after trying his
hand at collection for two years. rec
ommended that United States war
ship be sent to seize Smyrna and col
lect revenues at the custom house there
sufficient TO meet our claims. This
suggestion was not seriously entertain.
ed, nor is it now. In the first place,
according TO the state department Off
cials, the most important business in
terests in Smyrna are in the hands Of
foreigners, not Turks, and lombard
ment by United States feet might
result in a pretty bill for damages
against us. Then, as there is still q
remnant OF Turkish navy, the United
States would have to send a squadron,
instead of single ship. Such move
ment would. without doubt, be resent
ed by the remainder of Europe, which
could not contemplate with equanimity
AN action by the United States that
would perhaps destroy the fruits OF
many years. work OF the greatest Euro
pean statesmen by precipitating final
crisis in Turkey.
Therefore, the important step to be
taken by our governm ent will not be
warlike, but will still suggest in q
most dignified manner the Indignation
felt by the United States at the betray-
al Of Turkish promises. How this at
titude will bear upon the Turkish min
lister in Washington cannot be foretold
at this moment. He has SO far abso-
lutely been unentangled in the negotia-
tions Of the American claims, but that
fact might not save him from being
made the immediate victim OF his
country's laches. The minister, how
ever, is very popular in Washington.
The proved claims against Turkey in
clude about 100000 for the destruc-
tion of property alone. To these,
which admitted of practically no dis
pute, there was added the Lentz claim
of $40, 900. which was presented by
Secretary Olney.
