DARCY OF THE GUARDS.

I'D Arcy Of the Guards, the new
play which Henry Miller will pre-
sent at the Grand Opera House on
Saturday night, is story OF Revo-
lutionary times, the scene OF which
is laid in Philadelphia, during the
occupation Of that city by the Brit.
lsh under Lord Cornwa allis. The
author. Louis Evan Shipman, has
already gained such credit, and III
cidentally. considerable wealth, by
the publication of this story in
move! form under the same title, al
though his first writing of the same
was in The dramatic shape in which
it will be offered here. Its first
performance by Mr.. Miller slightly
antedated the appearance Of the
novel, and did much to enhance its
sale in the far West, where Mr..
Miller was playing. The period of
the story is precisely the same as
that chosen by s. Weir Mitchell
for his book Of "Hugh Wyune.' It
is somewhat OF coincidence that
two prominent novelists should
have chosen the same place and
general in cidents for their stories,
especially when it was so far dis.
taut as l777. But while Mr.. Ship

matte, DR.. Mitchell's has so little

4 Large Vote In the Gny State For an

4 Large Vote In the Eny State For an
on Year.
BOSTON, Nov. 6.-With no state or
national issues and but few local con-
tests to arouse interest, there were
more ballots cast in the state election
than in any of year in the history of
the state. The total vote exceeded
100000
As usual the Republicans had no diff
iiculty in carrying the state, W. Mur-
ray Crane of Dalton being elected
governor for the third time by prac
tically the same majority as when he
first ran for the office in 1890.
The state legislature of 1902 will be
strongly Republican, although the
Democrats gained few votes. Josiah
Quincy. the Democratic candidate for
governor, ran about 10000 behind the
vote cast for the party candidate In the
presidential election lust year, hut he
so materially increased the Democratic
vote in Boston as to give the local lead
ers great confidence for party victory
in the municipal election next month.
Fine weather proved an excellent In.
centiye for going to the polls, which
probably accounted for the heavy vote
cast in all districts.
The election was remarkably quiet
one, although there were one or two
contests for state senators that arous-
ed some interest.

MURPHY ELECTED.
Indications Point to Republican Plu-
rn1ifx In New .Jerney of Z. 1000


Indications Point to Republican Plu-
rality In New Jersey of 1000.
NEWARK, N. j., Nov, 6.-The re-
turns received from all points in the
state Indicate that Murphy, Republic
an, for governor, has been elected and
that the election is now simply n mat
ter Of plurality. The returns thus far
received indicate that Murphy will
have larger plurality In the state than
Voorhees, did three years ago. The Re-
publicans claim the state by 10000.
The returns thus far Indicate the elec-
ton of Murphy by at least 1000.
The returns show that Seymour,
Democrat, for governor, carried Hud-
son county by 5000 to 5000 and that
Pagan. Republican. was elected mayor
Of Jersey City.
In this city Seymour lost his own dis
trict. The vote stood: Murphy, 34S;
Seymour, 1877.
Essex county went for Murphy by
probably 5000. The Democratic county
committee clay down. and did nothing
for Seymour.

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. G.-lndications
based on scattering precinct returns
are that Nebraska has reaifirncl her
verdict of last year in favor Of til" Re-
publicans. Figures, mainly fl, n the
smaller towns and few country dis
tricts, show Republican gain of to
the precinct over n year ago. when the
average Republican majority was
$500. If these gains are sustained,
Sedgwck lRep), for supreme court
justice, will carry the state by from
GOOO to 10000. At Republican head
quarters the claim is made of 10000,
but the indecisiveness of the figures
is admitted.

600 for A,~>B. Cummins. Republican
candidate for governor. This is In a
vote of about 425 200, or less than that
in the election two years ago, when.
Governor Shaw received $4,000 plurali-
ty.
The first 100 precincts showed gain
of about % to the precinct. There are
214O precincts.
The plurality is great surprise to
the Republican managers even. who
did not expect such a change, but
thought the vote Of this year would be
about like that of two years ago and
but slightly more favorable to Repub-
icans.
The estimate of the managers was
5000 plurality for Mr. Cummns. They
believe that full returns will show at
least 10000. and some of the more san
gune believe it will reach 100000. or
more than Mckinley got last year,
when nearly 100000 votes were cast
Indications are that the Republicans
have gained at least eight members of
the legislature and that it will show \
vote as follows on joint ballot: Repub-
leans, 1913; Democrats, 27. Senator's
Allison and Dolliver are to be re.
elected by this legislature.
