MISSISSIPPI DEMOCRATS
HAVE NO OPPOSITION
No Oiher Party Nominates
Ticket for Congress

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 26.-The time
has expired for placing names on the
official ballot of Mississippi, and the
Republicans and Populists have both
failed to make any nominations. The
Mississippi ballot next month will con-
tain only the names of eight Democratic
candidates for Congress.
There is not another candidate in the
State, Republican. Populist. or Inde-
pendent. The vote. therefore, will be
unanimously Democratic. and conse-
quently very small, and less than that
cast at the Democratic primaries.
The Republicans at one time spoke of
nominating candidates in each of the
eight Congress districts. The differ
ences that arose over the color ques
tion. and the difficulty in getting candi-
dates who would lead the forlorn hope
prevented.
As for the Populists, once strong in
Mississippi. they have thinned out, and
ii has been impossible to get enough of
them together even to hold meeting,
much less to hold a convention.
This is the first time in the history of
Mississippi that the Democracy OF that
State has been without any opposition.

HALE GAME CHEERED
AT FOOTBALL GAME
Novelist Likes American Style of Play,
But Thinks 1t Decidedly
Rough.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 26.-Hall Caine,
the novelist, was an interested spectator
at the football game at Franklin Field
yesterday.
During the first half he occupied a
box in the south stand and during the
intermission accompanied Dr. j. William
White on visit to the players, who
gave him rousing cheer.
In the second half Caine went down
on the side lines and followed the play
closely under the tuition of DR.. White
and DR.. Huston. When Pennsylvania
scored the winning touchdown he waved
his black felt hat like schoolboy.
Mr.. Caine has good knowledge of
the English football game, and though
he confessed that he found the Ameri-
can style more interesting he thought
it was decidedly rough.

.OLD SCANDAL PUTS HIM
OUT OF CONGRESS RACE
y. G. Darden Quits When
Story of Arrest Is Printed.

CHICAGO. Oct. 26.-James G. Darden
| has abandoned his candidacy for Con-
gress in the Ninth district The proba-
blities are that Col. J. Hamilton Lewis.
| formerly a member of Congress from the
State of Washington. will be nominated
| in his place.
Mr. Darden concluded TO withdraw
after a conference with Mayor Harrison
following publication that he had been
arrested in 1895 in Portland. Ore, on
charges OF forgery and embezzlement
In his talk with the Mayor. Mr.. Dar-
den insisted that the charges against
him were false. He asserted that Me
Kircher. who had caused his arrest in
Portland, was a partner of his in the
business of shipping cotton to China,
and had sworn out the warrants while he
was out of the city, in order to forestall
similar action on his part against Nc
Kircher on his return.
Mr.. Darden said that, while he was in
nized it would be impossible TO send to
Portland in the short time between now
and election day for the evidence to
prove that innocence. and as he did not
wish 10 be a burden On the ticket he
would withdraw.
Colonel Lewis has not lived in Chicago
much more than year, and does not
live in the district. boarding at the Au
ditorium Annex. but under the United
States Constitution and the decision of
the United States Supreme Court in the
Gallatin case. he is qualified. and the
Democratic organization feels that he is
the best equipped man for the nomina-
tion.

Unions in Germany.

did you ever know that all the ser
wants in Germany belonged to nnions
Well. :hey do, and that is one of the
main reasons why they have better ser
wants there than arc kept in America.
's~'r- ir Germany when she
leaves a place. takes with her card
signed by her mistress. stating why she
left. the length of time she had been
employed, and whether or not she had
been satisfactory. A record is made d
this.
IF the girl has been inefficient or i'm
ila.. 1.enl II oisnonest, the mistress re-
ports 1t to the union, and also writes
it on the dismissal card. There no lady
will employ a servant without seeing
her union card.
Now in America. a reference means
nothing A mistress will write some
thing to save fuss. and it is seldom if
ever reliable. A competent girl don't
want one. so it only helps an incompe-
tent girl to victimize another mistress.
"A girl may be good in one position
and then get into careless and good for
nothing habits in another, and when she
seeks a third place she viii naturally
get reference from the place where she
did her best Not one person in ten will
find out about the one where she has
been unsatisfactory.
SO from the mistress standpoint,
union is unquestionably good thing.
Good Thing All Rouad.
when girl takes a position the same
union which gives er card also regis
ters the name of her employer and
STANDS ready to defend her If as is
often the case she is unjustly treated.
Now, if all the maids in Philadelphia
would unite in union it would not
take long to obtain recognition. Wages
would be regulated. and competent SER
wants would secure places they could
fill satisfactorily, and really good mis-
tresses would know that they were OBJ
tanning proper values fer their expendi-
ture in wages.
Il know number of maids now some
of them with a record of years of good
service, who are planning the founda-
tion Of a union. and i believe it will be
brought about very shortly.
Let the ladies have their clubs, but
give the maids union for mutual pro-
lection and help, and il will soon be
found that the union will outrank the
club in usefulness

New Facilities in Carrying Mail Said to

The volume OF business transacted at

country is an unfailiDg indication of
the growth Of the country. Not only
is business increasing every year but
new facilities are ..dded to bring the
postal service to that standard of effici-
ency which the spirit of the times and
the interest Of the country demand.
A true sign of progress and improve-
ment in the postal service may best
be seen in the oId-time postal rates as
compared with those of today. The
first law of Congress fixing rates Of
postage was passed February 20. f192,
and went into effect June 1, 1892

ing so miles, s cents: over so and not

Letters may now be sent to any
part of the United States or to any Of its
insular possessions for two cents each.
Notwithstanding this apparently insigni-
ficant sum there is strong popular
demand fer penny postage" and it is
the opinion of prominent Post Office
Department officials that the one cent
rate will be one of the acquisitions OF
the postal service in the near future.
