The Advertisers Buffalo bark lies on shore only short distance. becalmed. Not rifle on the broad expdnssr of sea to indicate the rough passage she Is now about the decks waiting for a promised
 breeze to f.ll her snowy sails.
 Everything seems serene on board while the residents along shore are watching
 her every move with bated breath. The barometer shows signs of taking a drop. the captain Is III at ease. There is sure- ly a storm brewing In tho tropic seas which bodies no good for all hands The swell is slowly rising while the vessel rolls and rides with the current The horizon has began to darken with om

So goes the story, quietly. yet faithfully waged during the closing days of this. the most interesting e ntest ever before conducted by any newspaper in this part of the world. What shall the harvest be? What will the morrow bring forth? The answer comes back-votes and victory for some with disappointment and defeat for oth- CTS; buf who will win. They all, all shout @ win," but will we?"
 Tuesday Is the last day to vote, Tues day all day. until midnight On Wed nesday following the final count will be made Then, and not till then will it be known who the lucky winners are. Fortunes have been made and lost in a day. q. political candidate has captured enough votes to place himself in office in the same length of time. At the same time, who knows, some friend or some candidate or combination of candidates may have been quietly holding back enough of the valued coupons to come to the front at the last moment and de- clare his choice the hero of the hour. Those S00.000 votes talked about over one week ago have grown almost 100000 by now. with only a small proportion Of the new growth heard from. leaving the principle number still untouched
 There are all kinds of pitfalls just ahead for Buffalo aspirants, who are chasing so rapidly Pan-American wards. Tonight is election night the last time before the final count. Hustle up your votes early. All votes should he dspos- tied at The Advertiser office by D.. m. tonight. Do not delay, delays are dnn- gerous. A complete list of the rtandlng of all candidates will be published to- morrCey morning.

Manager Salter Scores a Hit with A Clean Farce Comedy Company.


 The bill last night was a new musical comedy called Rudolph and Adolph," :" under the management of Ed Salter. The construction of the piece is such as to give a field for the abilities of Mrs. Lottie Wlllams-Salter. Dan and Charlie Mason and good company of merry makers. Mrs. Salter was last seen in Montgomery in Why Smith Left Home. :" apd last night she more than came up , the standard set on her last appearance. She Is a graceful little woman with a good voice and she makes everything pos sible out of both gifts. Dan Mason was also in Montgomery with the "Why Smith Left Home" Company. doing the German Baron part in that skit. Hc and Charles A. Mason make cic Yer pair of comedians, and th"lf dialect work last night was uuusu ally good. he elcc- tric parasol dance If the Laurence Sis ters in the last act, hesid $ being uc- cidedly new and decidedly novel, was extremely beautiful aud effective. On the whole the piece was about the best farce comedy that tho Messrs. iir; cher have ever had.
 The next attracti n is Miss Gertrude Coghlan as Becky Sharp in a drama tizcd version of Thackeray's immortal novel "Vanity Fair next Wednesday, both matinee and evening. IL Is some thing unusual to have such a high-class company down here so carly and Misa Coghlan will doubtless prove one of the events of the season.
