or about once in three times.
Yesterdays result.can be explained
only on the theory that thousands Of re-
publicans deserted their party for the
day and voted for Collins. this. too, In
spite of the most active work within the
last week by the republicans
The result also proves that the demo-
cratic charges of extravaganza in city
expenditures under Mayor Hart had
much more effect among taxpayers than
the makers of those charges had dared
to hope for.
The democratic victory is most sweep
ing, for in addition to electing Collins
mayor the common council is over
whelmingly democratic and the party
has also secured ten of the twelve alder
men. The party is thus placed in abso-
lutte control of the city affairs.
Josiah Quincy. who managed the Col
Inns campaign in return for political
service of the greatest value rendered
him by General Collins, accepted the
great victory with his customary cool
ness, tho he did admit he had no expec-
tation Of such a tremendous plurality.
General Collins was immensely pleased
with the figures Regarding his con-
duct Of the city in the next two years
General Collins said:
II shall safeguard every public and
private Interest. but shall endeavor to
the utmost to keep down the expenses -
the city. Boston has been spending more
money than 1t should for some time. and
the public debt has been growing too
rapidly. However, shall continue ev-
cry public work now under way and UNI
dertake new ones as the need arises. /
shall favor more schoolhouses to meet
the demand too long neglected. and
street improvements will be carried
along
I'VE democrats are in full control at
the city hall, and the people will hold ue
for our conduct. We shall
endeavor to so administer affairs as to
merit the cintinuansce Of our party in
power"

carnesis's Proposed University.

Washington. Dec. 11.-Hon. Carroll D.
Wright, commissioner of the United
States department of labor, yesterday
made the following statement as to Mr..
Carnegie's endowment of a national
university at Washington:
The general discussion which has
been carried on during the last twenty
five years In relation to the establish
ment of national university in Wash
ington has eliminated in magnificent
plan and endowment by Mr.. Andrew
Carnegie. For number OF years the
university Idea held sway, but about
two years ago the matter was taken up
by the Washington Academy of Science
and this body, in cooperation with the
George Washington Memorial Associa-
tion, formulated definite plan. which
differed radically from the university
plan contemplated in the earlier years.
This resulted last spring, as was then
published. In the organization of the
Washington Memorial Institution. The
plan was. in brief, as follows
Il. Organization. A private founda-
ton independent of government support
or control
-. Objects. (a) To facilitate the use OF
the scientific and other resources Of
government for research.
''(b) To cooperate with universities.
colleges and individuals in securing to
properly qualified persons of opportuni-
ties for advanced study and research.
"Dr. Daniel G. Gilman, ultimately
president of the Johns Hopkins Univer-
slty. was elected director of the institu-
ton.
When Mr.. Carnegie came to consider
the question of endowing national uni
versity at Washington, he investigated
the whole subject with his usual thor
oughness, and found that an institution
devoted to research and the training OF
capable persons was more in accord
with his conceptions than the establish
ment of a university that would be a
rival OF the already existing universities
of the country. How far he was led to
this conclusion by the work thct had
been done by the organizations in
Washington IL unknown, but his action
Indicates that he had faith in the gen
eral plan that had been developed and
crystalized in that city
1t is probable that the Washington
Memorial Institution will suspend its
operation, for 1t is understood that Mr..
Carnegie's plan not only embraces all
the proposed activities OF the institution
but goes far beyond these

Rohan Talks Of Arrest.

Chicago, Dec. 11.-Acting Chief of De-
tectives Rohan yesterday intimated that
the arrest was effected thru information
furnished Postofflce Inspector Stuart, OF
Chicago, who is now in the eastern city,
by the local police. Just what this in
formation was Rohan would not state.
II am not in position to state just
how much the information furnished the
postal authorities had to do with the ar.
rest in New York City" said Lieut.. Ro-
han. II understand. however. that In
spector Stuart, acting on the informa-
ton, either telegraphed the New York
authorities or went east himself to fol-
low up the clew.''
The robbery Of the wholesale stamp
vault in the Chicago postoffice, which
was discovered on the morning of Oct.
81, stands as the greatest In the history
of the postoffice department OF the
United States. At some hour between s
o'clock Saturday night and the following
Monday morning, when the robbery was
discovered. s74.61O in stamps was taken

indianapolis, Dec 11.-Richard Gro
ker. the Tammany boss. has arrived at
West Baden Springs and announces
that he will remain there a week or
ten days. He is the guest of David
Gagnon, and declares that he Is seeking
seclusion. He said today that there
was nothing in politics that he cared
to discuss, but he believed there were
suspicious times ahead for the national
democratic party. The coming of Mr..
Croker has not made any stir among
Indiana democrats. Ex-Mayor Taggart
is at French Lick, one mile distant, and
will call upon Croker tomorrow. The
former mayor disbelieves the rumor
that Croker Is after Hills scalp. and
other politicians say that such o mis-
sion here would be foolish. for nothing
will be done in politics till after the
committee reorganization in January.

CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit it not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the FIRST little sore or ulcer makes its APP
pearance-or swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part Of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perna-
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood--every vestage
Of it driven out. This S. S. S. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.
Cancer beginsoften in small way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows:
A small pimple came on my Jaw q bout an inch
below the car on the left aide OF my face. It gave

LOADING CRANBERRY CRATES FOB SHIP
MENT
originated in New Jersey, one can
search the city retail markets and not
find Jersey berry for sale. All cram
berries are sold as Cape Gods. The
reason for this developed in the early
days of the industry. Berries were
then hurried to the market in the de-
sire to make the FIRST sales. Cape Cod
berries were always beautifully col
ored, while those coming from the Jer-
sey bogs were green in color owing to
the fact that in Jersey most of the
berries are hidden from the sun
through the luxuriant growth of the
vines. The buyers naturally preferred
what seemed to be the ripper fruit.
A few years experience, however,
showed the Jerseyman that while. the
Cape Cod fruit would not, In cram
berry parlance. "stand up or retain
its hardness till after Christmas the
Jersey berry had by that time attain.
ed as good a color and as much Arm
ness as its rival IL stored away. So
the simple expedient Is adopted Of pre-
serving the berries until then and put
ting them on the market as Cape Cod
produce. BY that time the real Cape
Cod fruit has either been consumed or
has rotted, and the Jersey product
finds ready sale.
OF course, like everything else, the
cranberry industry has its ups and
downs, its good seasons and its bad.
The enormous prices paid for the first
few crops resulted In oyerproduction,
and the growers realized only 50 or
SO bushel. Then came q succession
Of poor cranberry yields, and those
who had invested their all in the
business became bankrupt. For the
past few years the prices paid for the
fruit have averaged about the same
each year, and the industry has been
placed on q stable basis. At an aver
age price of $3.50 a bushel, 1t is no
uncommon thing for some Of the larger
growers to clear from $4,000 to $20,-
600 on single years yield, the aver
age cost OF picking. sorting boxing and

the delinquent picker being forced to
Journey 10 another bog to find new
employer.
There Is no doubt about the berry
picking being hard ON the hands. Some
pickers tie cotton around their fingers,
others wear what are known as finger
stalls" but some wear nothing at all,
and at night their poor finger ends are
red, sore aud aching and covered with
'hangnails." The whole work is done
on the hands and knees, and on busy
day the scene on berry bog reminds
one irresistibly Of antebellum days on
a cotton plantation, though the over
seer is only armed with "cuss words
instead Of the long whip.
Each person carrying full measure
(no partial measure is counted) to the
"house" or place of screening and
packing receives a ticket. When
picker can show ten of these tickets, he
exchanges them for new ticket of ten
times value and SO on. AS the season
progresses the picker and his employer
can thus quickly estimate how much
he has earned.
Native pickers get 80 cents per BUSH
ell for picking. The Italians work by
contract on the padrone system, live in
little shanties by the side of the bogs.
and their labor is considerably cheaper.
OF course the earnings Of the pickers
vary with their expertness. A smart
picker can sometimes pick two meas
ures to another's one. A new picker
can scarcely earn more than 80 cents q
day to start with and If he is wise will
have provided himself with couple of
strong leather pads for his knees. But
even with these the chances are that he
will wake up next morning sitter and
sorer than an army mule after a days
campaign.
The days work begins at a very rea.
sonable hour, 7.30 to 9:30 a. M, many
of the toilers coming several miles to
the bog after the morning housework Is
done. At noon all knock Off for lunch,
those who have brought their meals
with them eating them on the bog,
while the others go to some convenient
house. Then, after an hour of rest,
work Is resumed to continue until
about 5 in the afternoon.
On Cape Cod the berries are all gath
cred and shipped in barrels. The Jer-
sey grower prefers crates. From the
first of June until the harvest is over
all the sawmlls in the Jersey pine dis
trict are engaged in making these. All
xvosta wood from hufldino lumber can
be used in their manufacture, and they
are consequently cheaper than bar
rels. The making of these crates is in
itself a profitable industry, for the
men engaged on this work become re-
markably expert and at the rate OF a
cent a box can earn from "a to SO a
day.
One strange thing about the cram
berry industry is that. although II
