MACHINE CANDIDATES ELECTED
Weaver Gets District Attorney Of Phil
adelphia County by Big Plurality

Philadelphia, Nov. 6.-William p.
Potter, for Justice of the Supreme
Court, and Frank G. Harris, for State
Treasurer. the Republican candidates,
have been elected in Pennsylvania over
Judge Harman Yerkos and e. A. Coray,
the Union and Democratic candidates.
Potter's plurality is l4.S07.
In Philadelphia John Weaver rs
elected District Attorney over p. f..
Rothermel. and the Republican candi-
dates for the Common Pleas Court are
returned. Weaver's plurality is 1867.
The whole Republican ticket, both
local and general is elected.
The maiorities arc less than one-half
Those given two years ago. with which
the comparison is made, and the re-
turns so far received show that Justice
Potter has fallen considerably behind
the candidate for State Treasurer.
Potter and Harris have about 10000
majority, and Weaver about $4,000.
The vote in nearly all the interior
counties has been remarkably light
PREACHING fair proportions only where
there were uncertain contests over Local
lofices. These seem to have enlisted
more interest than the State ticket. II
is apparent from the figures that in
some sections a considerable prCpor-
tiOn of the Democratic vote was given
to the Republican State candidates.
The constitutional amendments hav,
been well supported in most OF the in.
torior counties. and unless the com
pletc returns show that they have hceg
overwhelmingly antagonized in the cit
I les, have been carried.

tests the greatest interest was centered
In the former city Tammany was de-

the complicated ballot in Maryland, re-
turns from that State are as yet incom-
plete.
No more efficient service was ever
given any Wilmington paper than the
Evening Journal enjoyed last night in
the matter of receiving election re-
turns.
Shortly after p. m. the dispatches
began to come, and from that time on
ward it kept one reporter busy in trans
cribing them.
Early in the evening there was a
crowd before the bulletin board. while
the leather-lunged megaphnne man bel
lowed forth the latest returns.
The telephones were tingling con-
stantly, for it has come to be known
that the Evening Journal makes a
speciality of election returns.
The interest centered in New York
and Philadelphia, and there was not a
word spoken for Tammany. The cool
evening finally thinned out the crowd
and many sought refuge in the editorial
and rcportorial rooms.
The bulletins continued till a. m
when there was a pause for much
needed rest The staff of the Evening
Journal made 1t plain to their patrons
that all are welcome to apply TO it foi

artisticaIIy in tabIeaux- They are hand

HOW YOU MAY OBTAIN a LASTING
CURE FROM PILES.
No Surgical Operation, no Pain. Tri-
fling Expense-A Simple. Harm
less Remedy. But 1t Does


There are some people who have piles
as regularly and frequently as other peO-
pie have colds. Any little bowel trouble
Will bring them on. any extra eXerUiOn, as
in lifting, will produce them, and in fact
viii often appear without any apparent
provocation- Piles, however. is much more
serious than cold. as the tendency is
always to grow worse until the trouble
becomes decp-Seated and chronic or de-
velcps into some fatal rectal disease.
While there are many pile remedies
which give relief, yet there IS but one
which not only gives instant relief, but
at the same time makes permanent
Pile Cure.
This remedy is composed of simple.
harmless vegetable ingredients but com
bine so effectively and act so promptly
and thoroughly that it cures every form
of piles whether itching, blind, bleeding.
or proJruding- IN Iong-standing cases the
Pyramid Pile Cure has proven to be the
only certain cure except a surgical opera
ton, and its advantages over q n operation
are many, as il is painless causes no de-
lay or interference with daily occupation
and last, but not least. IS cheaper than
any surgical operation could possibly be
costing 80 cents d package at anV drug
store. The cases that the Pyramid Pile
Cure viii not reach are so few that phv-
sicianS are doing away with operations
for piles and depending on this cheap but
effective remedy to accomplish complete
cure and Ii never disappOints excers ia
cases beyond the reach OF medical skin
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared by
the Pyramid Drug Co. of Marshall
Mich, and for sale by druggists evs.ry1
where at 90 cents per package Each pack
age contains q treatise on cause and cure
of piles, together with testimonials from
every section of this country.

The Measure Passed by the LeGisIa
ture Strongly Denounced.


JACKSONVILLE. Fla April pa bill
that has just been passed by the Florida
Legislature, now in session at TaIlahas-
see, IS attracting considerable attention
from its peculiar wording and also be
cause Major St Clair Abrams. of this
city. a lawyer well known throughout
the State, has written a long open letter
in one of the local newspapers strongly
denouneing it The bill adds one more to
the causes for divorce in this State.
namely, 'incurable insanity"
1t is a lengthy bill, and, according to
lawyers who have seen it. is very strong
" drawn 1t provides that where insan-
ity has existed in either the husband OF
wife for four successive years, divorce
may be granted. It provides that in the
court where the suit shall be brought a
lawyer shall be appointed as guardian Of
the defendant to defend the suit. But,
according 10 lawyers. the guardian can
only bring uD as a defence the issue
whether or not incurabIe insanity exists
and cannot go outside of this to ascert lin
for himself the truth of the matter Some
lawyers say that there are other matters
in the bill that seem out Of place in a
measure of this kind
Nj Abrams in his letter denounces the
bin a blot upon Florida, and says it
was carried through not because. the pub
lie demanded it. but because one person
required it. He further adds: The al
legged reason for this bill IS that this per
sons properly is irnperiIed by the claims
Of an insane wife, and that he cannot dis
pose Of his property as he wishes under
the Florida dover laws" He calls the
law a monstrous outrage upon the rights
Of an insane person.
