What Dc You Talk About?

Don't talk about your troubles,
above all, any illhealth or sickness.
Nothing is so tiresome as to hear
long tales of illness and suffering, un-
less it be to bear those Affections. You
deepen, strengthen and prolong the
effects of sickness by dwelling upon it
in thought and speech. You can
hasten your recovery by enjoying
your return to health and showing
your delight in it, and that is the onlv
way you should allow yourself to
mind others Of the ills you have en-
dured. Never speak of strictly fam
lily affairs, and especially be careful
not to allow yourself, under any prov
Ocation, to criticise any member of
your family in conversation with even
your dearest friend. And avoid too
much talk of every kind about your
own nearest of kin. You are natural
ly deply interested in your brothers
college experiences or your sisters
coming out party, but it is all rather
colorless to people outside of your
own house. There is nothing more
becoming to a girl than a womanly re-
serve about her personal and family
affairs Beware of goin ginto details
in conversation upon such subjects.
They are tiresome to any thinking
person who has to listen.-Woman'

SETH LOW WINS
OVER TAMMANY
CARRIES GOTHAM BY MAJORITY
OF NEARLY 100000
GENERAL REPUB tcAN DAY
But Qualified by Democratic Gains in
Several States, Notably Ohio and
Z Rhode isIand-Cummins Elected
Governor of Iowa and Bryap's
State Is G. O. p.

New York, Nov. Seth Low, until
recently president of Columbia univer~
sity, which position he resigned to be
come the fusion republican candidate
for the mayoralty of greater New
York, was elected Tuesday by ma
jority of from 10000 to $4,000 over
Eugene M. Shepard, the candidate Of
Tammany hall.
Richard F. Croker, the leader of
Tammany, attributes the defeat of
his candidate to the failure OF Shep-
ard to carry Brooklyn, his own city,
and the fact that the people want
change. Shepard takes his defeat "
a manner which seems to show tha.,
he was somewhat severe in his cam
paign denunciations of the corruption
of Tammany rule. He sent a message
Of cOngratulation to his successful
rival and expressed his confidence in
Lows ability to give greater New York
a good administration. 81
The entire fusion ticket of which
Low was the head was elected by com
Portable majorities. The election of
Jerome as district attorney was con
sidered quite doubtful. Mayor Van
Wyck, who defeated Low in the may
orally contest four years ago, was
defeated as a candidate for the SUI
preme court. Van Wyck and Shepard
were chosen to lead Tammany in the
belief that they were the strongest
candidates that the organization could
put up, but they were unable to stem
the tide of disapproval of the Croker
organization.
President Roosevelt voted at home
in the New York election and returned
early in the evening to Washington
When told of the result he made no at
tempt to conceal his great satisfaction
at the downfall of Tammany and sent
dispatches Of congratulations to Low
and Jerome.
In the Ohio elections Gov. Mash
was returned to the executive chair
and Senator Foraker was assured Of
reelection to his seat in the United
States senate by the election OF q
clear republican majority in both
houses of the state legislature. The
republican victory in the buckeye
state was qualified, however, by thf
fact that the democrats made some
gains and won some members of the
legislature that had hitherto been re-
publican.
Massachusetts reelected Governor
Crane, Rhode Island went republican
with perceptible democratic gains,
however, Maryland was close but will
give narrow margin to the demo
Gratis, and New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania both returned republican major
tiles. Virginia went democratic as
usual.
In the west all went republican,
even including Bryan's state, Nebrase
ka. Cummins was elected governor
of Iowa by 10000 majority and Kansas,
Utah, California and South Dakota all
swung into line with substantial re-
publican majorities.

The New York Journal recently pro-
posed that 100000 Southern men should
send a letter to the president, which
that paper is good enough to write. urg-
ing him to do Schley justice. Among
other statements in the letter is one
that Admiral Schley is Democrat and
Southerner." The Washington Post,
which has been a champion of justice
for Schley, says that Schley is not a
Southerner in any technical sense, hav-
ing served as an officer of the United
in the War Between the States. AS to
his politics the Post ventures to assert
that ''hs most intimate friend does
not know whether he is Republican
or Democrat. We do not believe he
knows himself"
The attempt to deprive Schley OF an
honor that belonged to him has caused
good men everywhere, North and South,
to cry out against it. 1t is not that they
put Schley on pedestal and think him
a hero above all others, for they have
learned that even the Dewey idol was
made of clay. 1t is not that they believe
Sampson a coward or poor officer.
The sentiment that gather around
Schley is the sentiment for Fair Play
that knows no politics and no section.
The people think ten thousand times
miral Schley, Admiral Sampson, or any
other great military or naval leader.

Seeing that Indifference and red tape

server delivered a dignified rebuke to
the officials and offered a reward of $500
for one Lyle, suspected of numbering
Mr.. Lanier. On Saturday 1T was re-

in Roanoke. Va. The Observers course
is highly seworthy.-Biblical Recor-
der.
The Recorder is clearly under false
impression. Without referring in any
way to the part played by the Obser-
yer, we want to correct the injustice
done our city and county in this matter
and set them straight before the peo-
pie Of the State. There was no indif-
ference by the police department in the
matter. From the time Lyle was suS-
pected of murder vigorous effort was
made for his capture, and with such
success that he was captured in Roa-
noke the day the reward was offered,
and before any of his captors knew that
a reward had been offered.
We want the Biblical Recorder and
the people of the State to know that our
city and county officials are as compe-
tent and efficient as any we ever had,
and the above item does them and the
city an injustice.

Gratis to make way for Republicans Now
that the Democrats have all been re-
positions, we may expect to hear that,
acting upon the recommendation of the
Civil Service Commission, the President
has decided to do great thing for civil
service reform by including all revenue
positions under the civil service. II he
does not do it sooner. he will be certain
to do it in 1904 If he sees that the Dem
ocrats are going to win. AS a slick and
successful reformer of the Pckurckian
type, Mr.. Mckinley is daisy, and his
civil service performance is "amoosin,"
