AFTERNOON MAPS.
Children Need Them Long After They
Have Left Bnbyhood.

Hes getting entirely too big for his
daytime nap said an unwlse mother
recently. who announced IN the hear
ing Of the child that little men ought
to break themselves Of such babyish
habits" And the poor little eyes we're
heavy with sleep at the time as 1t was
the time for the regular afternoon nap
to which he had been accustomed.
1t was surprise To learn that any
mother would consider II a duty TO
plan the breaking up Of tie little
folks naptme. The majority Of moth.
ers find that their little ones outgrow
the habit much earlier than is deslra-
BILE, and 1t certainly Is wise to encour-
age the practice just as long as the
restless youngsters show the least sign
OF becoming tired after their mornings
play.
The two or three hours during the
day when the little ones can be per
suaded to take a nap are very refresh.
ing portions Of the day to the average
mother. and a wise mother will not
maps at all, but let them enjoy them
just as long as they will. even until
they are old enough to 90 to school.
although they will probably object to
the daytime maps some time before
that period.
Mothers seldom realize how many
steps these little feet take during the
day-these little feet that never seem
to grow tired beca use their owners are
so very busy that they don't have time
to think whether they are tired or not.
But notwithstanding this, they often
need a rest, and many times when the
little ones are called cross they are
only tired, and a good, refreshing nap
would set them all right again.
But then. II they have nap dur
ing the day they will not want to go to
bed early at night" some one may OBJ
serve, but the daytime nap need never
interfere with the regular bedtime II
the mother manages properly. Chill
dren are very much the creatures of
habit and II they are encouraged to
take an afternoon nap at a regular
time and then go to bed at certain
hour each night they will have little
difficulty about 'wooing the drowsy
god"
The little ones need plenty of sleep
and If well will not sleep longer than
is good for them. A little enforced
quiet, even when the afternoon NAP
has been outgrown, will benefit the
restless child as well as the overtaxed
mother.

DR.. McGill Pleased With the
Defeat of Pagan and
Carey Predicts Great
Victories.

Police Commissioner DIR. John D. Nc
Gill, when interviewed this morning, ex-
pressed himself as being extremely graft
fed with the election. He 1.-THE
election of yesterday appears to me to
indicate the beginning of political revo-
luton and within two years, with the
proper appreciation of the changed con-
dition of affairs, think the Democracy
will recover this State.
'The most gratifying feature to me has
been the entire reputation of Mayor
Pagan. His election was mistake, and
he has been a huge mistake all the way
through.
The overwhelming reputation of the
one-man Street and Water Board was
simply a majority against Pagan. l hold
no animosity against Pagan, personally
but politically he has been a miserable
failure.
Another thing which greatly pleases
me was the triumphant election of. Benny
in spite of the miserable campaign of vi
tuperation waged against him. The de-
feat of that chameleon politician, Carey
shows that the seal of public disappro-
baton has been set on political apostacy
Record was the first disposed of and
now Mr.. Carey's turn has come and
proper disposition Of him has been
made.v

WHAT IT MEANS
Phases Of the Victory in
This County : Other
Bright Spots.

Despite the fact that the early returns
indicated Democratic sweep and that
later ones confirmed the early indications
up to one o'clock this morning there
were absolutely no street noises such as
usually characterize election nights. Here
and there in the streets of suburban Sec
tions the small boy builded his election
bonfire as of yore despite the. efforts of
the police to prevent him from doing so.
An occasional toot or fish horn could
be heard.
Some Republican political lwiseacres
took cognizance of the splendid weather
during the day, and finding little else to
cling to declared it was Republican
weather and hoped that might possibly
pull them through. But other Republi-
cans who were watching the polls gave
up the fight before noon. The Democrats
did not go at it with hurrah They
went at it in a quiet, business-like man
ner. They had apparently made up
their minds and seemed to quite under
stand one another. The day was like a
quiet Sunday. The night something like
a Sunday night. They did not even
gather around the customary places to
| learn the news except in small groups.
They were not allowed to gather in the
Police Headquarters building as usual,
| owing to the condition of the. building.
Up at the Union League Club good
| ly sized number of members gathered ear
ly in the evening, but the news was so
| depressing that they all left. early. None
! of the candidates We're present.
The only street scene that sayored of
the old fashioned election night on the
| occasion of a Democratic victory was in
| the vicinity of the Park House and Ken
! ny's Cafe at pavonia avenue and Grove
| street. A big crowd gathered there and
cheered the returns

election returns were received was at the

yinced that the election was Democratic.

PARKS AND
FREE:HOL.DERSS

1t was generally believed at the County
Clerks Office to-day that the majority of
the townships voted against the law re-
ducing the number of freeholders. The
figures were so incomplete, however, that
no estimate of the vote could be learned
All of the townships except the town
ships of North Bergen and West New
York voted in favor of the Park Bill.
Hoboken and Bayonne also voted for
this bill.
Jersey City gave plurality of sos for
the freeholder reduction bill and $3.50 in
favor of Parks.

great victory"
Commissioners Heintze, Nolan, Sulli-
were congratulated on the splendid COM
pliment paid them by the voters, irrespec-
tive of party.
The "Single Hefded'' boomers in the
City Hall were all in the dumps. They
had visions of making the Street and
administration circus. The failure of the
realization of their dreams left an aching
void that nothing could satisfy.
Mayor Pagan oversight this morning
and did not reach his office in the City
Hall to attend to his official duties
1t was currently rumored that His
Honor did not altogether approve of the
emphatic manner in which the voters re-
fused to accept the act of the Legislature
authorizing him to appoint single head
ed Water commission, to take the place
of the elective street and water board.
The Mayor also had it brought home to
him very forcibly that the results yes
terday could not be construed as an en-
dorsement Of his administration.
Col. John J. Toey and Robert Carey
called at the City Hal this morning to
have a consolation talk with His Honor.
They were quite disappointed over the
failure of Mr.. Pagan to come out early
and shed few smiles.
The colonel said that he was not at
all disappointed over his defeat by John
Zeller.
Il would have been greatly surprised" !"
remarked the colonel ''if 1 had won the
fight. We had no live issues you know,
and we We're up against a strong organi-
zation which apparently was united all
along the line. Then again there was
much apathy in the Republican ranks,
and our people didn't get out to vote. l
think that the contests were affected a
great deal by this agitation against the
Beef and Coal Trust. The Beef Trust
put me out of business once before.
CAREY AS CHESTY AS EVER.
Robert Carey did not have all the
fight taken out of him by Allan Benny.
He blamed it all on the Republican old
enemy General Apathy.
II am greatly surprised over my de-
feat" he said 81 thought as the Dem
ocrats did that / would be elected.
''The trouble is that the Republicans
did not come out to vote. At least 5000
of them staid at home. Had many taken
the trouble to have voted would have
won by large majority. | didn't like
the way in which Allan Benny injected
personalities into this campaign as the

Black Diamond Express
M. VT,

As "The News goes to press it is
learned that the Black Diamond Express,
the finest train on the Lehigh Valley
Roard, that runs over the Pennsylvania
Railroad tracks in this city, on Its way
to Buffalo, was wrecked about one
o'clock just beyond the Pennsylvania
Railroad meadow shore, on the western
outskirts of the city.
Twenty passengers were more or less
seriously injured. Among them was Mrs.
Carrie Nation, whose head was badly cut.
The majority of the injured We're men
but it was impossible to get even a
partial list of names at this hour.
The train was going under full head
way when it reached siding on which
was being moved freight train in order
to give the express the right of way.
The freight was behind time and be-
fore the collision could be ayerted the
rear of the freight. The first passenger
coach was derailed and thrown on the
side of the road bed.
The Pennsylvania Railroad author
tiles communicated with DIR. McGnl,
and he called together Doctors, Stewart,
Hoffman, Wolfson, Hart, Bowyer, PUT
man, Saren and Rector who proceeded
to the scene on a special train:
The passengers of the express with the
injured were brought to the city and
cared for in the Pennsylvania Railroad
depot.
The more seriously injured were taken
to st. Francis Hospital and those who
could went on their way
Another train was made up to take the
place of the express. Traffic was delayed
for about an hour.

TOFFEY CLAD
FOR zELLER
The Democratic Sheriff Elect
Congratulated by His
G. 0. P. Opponent.

John Zeller, the successful Democratic
candidate for Sheriff, and his defeated
Republican opponent, Colonel John j.
Toffey, met this morning on the Court
House steps and shook hands very cor
daily, the latter congratulating his sue
cessful rival and thanking him for the
clean campaign he had conducted.
Mr.. Zeller accepted the congratulations
of his former opponent and replied that
he had no criticism to make of the con-
duet of the campaign by Mr.. Toffey.
The Sheriff elect afterwards said to a
News reporter
81 am deeply gratifed for the support
accorded me both by the Democratic and
independent voters Of the County and the
Democratic press. The result is a COM
pliment that l thoroughly appreciate,
and now that the battle is over
