A Rare and brilliant Combination
ON Exhibition AZ the Opening OF
the ST. Louis Horse show.

ST. Louis, Nov. Alt was indeed 9
rare show of millinery and fine ex-
hibition of horseflesh that gratiiied
the eyes and the finer senses OF hrst-
night folk at the Coliseum Monday
evening.
Unquestionably 1t was the best
dressed congregation of women ever
seen in ST. Louis. Undoubtedly II was
the smartest, cleanest and most In
teresting first-night programme ever
given by the Horse Show club.
The attendance exceeded in quality
and quantity that Of any previous
first night An expert calculation put
the attendance at i,5O0 persons more
than the first nights OF the four pre-
vious years in which the horse show
people have been pleasing men with
horses and making women dellriously
happy with millinery.
There was wealth Of richness in the
boxes and wealth of beauty behind
the boxes, where many n fair flower
blushed unseen to the short-sighted.
1t was deep, quiet, opulent, and II
fellow was vulgar he would say
"Gee, it must have cost money"

shows rs "Why Don't You Loosen
Up?'' 1t is the particularly fayorite
air of Mr.. G. H. Crawford, managing

WOMEN VOTED In WISCONSIN,
For the First Time I'm the History
of the Badger state Women
Went To the Polls.

Lacrosse, Wis, Nov. 4.--For the
first time in the history of Wisconsin
women entered the polling places and
cast their ballots Tuesday. Under a
law passed at the last session Of the
legislature, women were given the
right to vote on school questions and
for the candidates for school Offices.
Hence. they voted for the state super
intendent Of schools, the county SUI
perintendent of schools and on an
amendment changing the term of Of
fee for superintendent of schools.
Much interest has been manifested in
the election by the club women, but
1t has gone little farther than these
circles.

DEMOCRATIC GAINS,
But Republicans VIII Retain Con-
troll Of Congress-
Democrats Gala -Four senators aud rhir-
teen Members Of the Lower House
OF the National Legislature.

Washington. Nov. i--Although the
returns from the doubtful congress
sional districts were slow IN arriving
the indications at midnight were that
the Republicans would control the
next House Of Representatives by
narrow margin. In the present house.
with membership OF S57, the Repuh-
llcans have Al majority. Under the
new apportlonment the Flfw-eighth
house viii consist OF SS6 members, a
majority OF which Is l9s.
The thirteen Southern States, not
counting West Virginia. but including
Missouri, have l25 representatives.
The Democrats have carried ZIG OK
these districts and the Republicans
probably five--two In Tennessee, one
in Kentucky and two in Missouri
with two in North Carolina, one in
Virginia aud one In Alabama doubtful,
according TO the latest returns. To
obtain a majority in the next house II
was necessary, therefore. for the Dem
ocrats to secure as votes In the North
West. In this territory they have at
present So representatives.
The latest returns indicate that this
strength has been held with the .eX-
eeption OF one seat each from Idaho,
Montana and Nevada, and as to these
States the returns at this hour are not
conclusive. Adding 80 to 1i6 gives the
Democrats 1866. The Democrats show
they have made gain of three In
Pennsylvania, one in Nebraska, one In
Delaware, one in Wisconsin, two In
Maryland, one in Colorado and prob
ably four In New York. swelling tho
total to 17S This leaves them sixteen
short of a majority, with the result In
four doubtful Southern districts TO be
heard from and doubtful districts in
the North and West from which the
returns are inadequate, as follows
West Virginia, 2; Ohio, / Indiana, 2;
Illinois. Q; Iowa, 1 Nebraska, T. Kan.
sas, / Minnesota, 2; Michigan, /; Cal
ifornia, 2; Utah, /, a total Of 2l.
Returns at o'clock add one Demo-
crat in New Jersey, one In Minnesota,
one in Illinois. one in Alabama and
two in North Carolina oJthe Demo.
cratic representation t6tal Of six.
But two OF the gains credited to the
Democrats In Pennsylvania should
properly be set down as fusion Repub-
licans, making the Democrats actually
elected by returns thus far received
1874, with the doubtful districts in
Minnesota having gone Democratic,
the one in Kansas Republican, Kansas
having gone solidly Republican, and
the one in Iowa Republican. Three
OF the four doubtful Southern districts
went Democratic.

THE NEXT SENATE.
Indications Are That the Republican Ma
jority VIII BE Reduced Four.


Washington, Nov. 4.--The United
States Senate will be Republican by
at least sixteen majority, against the
present majority Of twenty. The pres
ent Senate contains 54 Republicans
and "a Democrats in a total of 80 seats,

ture failed 10 elect The terms Of thir-

two from Delaware, but including the
Mcmillan vacancy. nineteen are now
Republicans and twelve are Democrats,
Wellington Of Maryland being classi-
fed as a Republican and Harris of
Kansas, McLaurin Of South Carolina
and Teller of Colorado as Democrats.
Seven States have already elected

lican. Including Delaware. therefore,
twenty-five Senators will be elected by
the Legislatures chosen today.

ture in Delaware should be called in

get together and elect two Republican
Senators before the new Legislature

Gulf 8 ship Island branch.

Work is progressing satisfactorily
on the survey Of the proposed line
which the Gulf & Ship Island is to
build from Dlo to Mendenhall, in
Simpson county, down to Blunt
yille, and thence to Columbia, in
Marion county. At Columbia the
new line will connect with a branch
OF the Gulf & Ship Island railroad
that connects with the main line at
;Lumberton. When the new road is
built and the connection made at
Columbia it will make loop line
running from Mendenhall to Lum-
berton, sixty miles in length and
traversing the counties Of Simp-
son, Lawrence and Marion. Be-
sides opening up fine, new terri
tory, the loop will greatly facilitate
the handling of freights, as it will
give the road practically two lines
from Jackson to Lumberton. There
is no country on the globe that is
developing more rapidly than South
Mississippi is today.

"THE GOOD DIE YOUNG"
Death of Joseph PPobasco, Who Put
a Suggestive Inscription over His
Mother-in-Law's Grave.

Centralia, ILL.,, Nov. 4.--Joseph Pro-
basco, the most eccentric citizen Of
Ccntralia, died Monday. His greatest
deed was in the erection of hand
some monument TO his mother-in-law.
She died, aged 81 years, and on the
costly stone Probasco caused the quo
tation, "The Good Die Young" TO be
deeply carved and the letters gilded.
While working as tailor he was a
wonderful dresser. After retiring he
became a typical miser. He was a
cousin of Henry Probasco, the Gin
cinnati philanthropist. He was II
years old and his wealth is variously
estimated.

The penitentiary is coming TO the

Parchman has just sold $4,000
worth of cotton and win turn the
entire amount into the treasury. In
view Of the fact that there is not
over $15O,O0O in the treasury at the
present time, all such aids are very
timely, since in the near future
There win be some heavy demands
ION the States funds, notably the
payment of the pensions. By that

have built up a sufficient reserve to
