OFF YEAH FOR POLITICS.

This Is an off year in national poll

.erhe general impression in Washing

campaign is marked with apathy
Widespread interest and enthusiasm

At the Republican headquarters this
apathetic condition is acknowledged
but the congressional campaign mana
gers claim that it is because they are SC
confident of victory they do not find II
necessary to stir mp party spirit to

quarters it is claimed that there is more
than usual off yearly activity in The

RusseIlyIlle. KY. Sept 29.-Amos
Amazioh Morton. aged thirty nine
years, IS local negro with q remark
able and mysterious gift. which neither
he nor any one who has seen him can
explain. This gift consists in the abil-
lty to tell the time of day by looking 10
the palm of his hand. and he never
misses by more than seven minutes. He
says there is dark brownish spot
which follows the lines in his hand, and
that it is by observing the location of
this spot that he tells the time of day.
Another remarkable fact about Morton
is his knowledge of the Bible. If one
reads one or more paragraphs, Morton
can tell the book, chapter and verse and
repeat the rest of the chapter. Morton
who is locally known as Bud. is of q
quiet melancholy nature, but popular
with both white and black people. III,

that since the organization Of the
institute in 1881 the value of cleo
trical installations in the United
States outside of the telegraph
and telephone plants had Increased
from 81, 200, 600 to over $1,000

"The United States, !" he added,
"with only one-ffth of the popu-
lation of Europe and Great Brit
ain, has two and one-third times
the kilowatt capacity in power
stations, and three and one-half
the mileage of electric railways.
The power houses in operation
and under contract in New York
city would replace all the central
stations for lighting and power
in Great Britain or Germany;
they would operate all the cleo
trio railways of Great Britain and
Europe combined; one alone
would be sumcient for the rail-
ways of Germany, and the output
