THE OFFICIAL vote cast at the state
election in Massachusetts, on November
8 was announced yesterday. The vote
for the socialist candidate for governor
shows a falling off of 1878 from last
year. This is gratifying, at least, for
no State or community can be considered
blessed where socialism fourishes, as
il is an easy stepping stone to anarchisDl.

IN MENIORIAM.

In memory of THOMAS F. TRAVIS, VIII,
departed this life on November 4, 1901.
Gone but not forgotten.
In the graveyard softly sleeping,
Where the flowers gently wave,
Lies the one we love so dearly,
In bis lonely, silent grave.
Farewell, brother, may your slumber
Be as gentle as your love,
And when God will call US homeward
We may meet in heaven above.

VIII Be Our Last
REMNANT
DAY
Till After Christmas

And it will be the most interest
ing of the present season. We
shall be too busy after this
week to give our attention to
remnants. And as every foot
of shelf and counter and floor
space is needed for the proper
display of our magnificent stock
of Gift Goods, which already
surpasses anything heretofore
attempted, we are going to clear
out all the small and incom-
plete lots and tarrying Fall
things to start the new month
with fresh, clean and unbrcken
stocks. To this end we have
thoroughly ransacked every de-
partment in the house and
separated therefrom everything
that savors of a remnant.
Many an odd bit OF silk, or
ribbon, or velvet, or lace, &C.,
may be found which can be
made use of for Christmas.
Numerous odd pieces of china,
bric-a-brac, cut glass, &c.
Scores OF useful lengths in
dress goods-ends ofthe choicest
fabrics-suitable for women's
dresses, skirts, and waists and
children's dresses, at half
former prices. Wrap, Suit,
Linen, Upholstery-in fact,
every department in the house
presents rare buying oppor-
tunities.
With the remnants We offer
several bargain lots of goods,
some of which were purchased
for the occasion others are
goods reduced in price for one
reason or another. A goodly
collection of remnants of worthy
goods in broad and immediate
demand, at specially reduced
prices-prices which should
clear them out quickly and
completely.

ELoPEMENT OF PRINCESS. -Advices
from Berlin say that the elopement of
Princess Alice of Schonberg- Waldenburg
with her -coachman Emilio Materni, is
causing even more of a sensation than
did the fight of Crown Princess Louise
of Saxony with the French tutor NJ.
Giron. 1t is automatically stated that
the Princess ran away a year ago in
company with a Saxon nobleman and
with him toured the Continent in an au-
tomobile. This she did in retaliation
for her husbands liaisons with Dresden
actresses. Prince Frederick challenged
this n ,bleman, whose name has been
suppressed, and crippled him in a duel.
The Prince forgave the Princess form
ally, though be has not since lived with
her. The Princess picked up Materpi
in Italy last February, it is said, and
then began her liaison with him. Fl
nally she brought him to Gauernitz
Castle and continued. her relations with
him throughout the summer. Mean
while Materni had fallen in love with a
servant of the Castle and had married
her. The Princess, jealous of her lovers
preference for another, insisted that they
should leave the castle together. She
wished to thus separate Materni from
his wife. The eighteen months old baby
OF the couple was left with Prince Fred
erick's relations. 1t is reported that
Princess Alice and Emilio Materni, the
coachman, with whom she eloped, have
been located at Sori, in the Italian
Riviera. The Princess is attended by
two Saxon harnesses.

TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.
The Cedric Reported safe.

New York, Nov. 26.-The White
Star liner Cedric, bound from Liverpool
for New York. regarding which rumor
was currentin Liverpool yesterday, passed
Nantucket at three O'Clock this morning
The report regarding the Cedric which
stated that she had been sunk in mid
ocean after collision with a Lamport &
Holt liner, caused a great deal of ankle
ty for time yesterday. While it was
nowhere credited, the rumor caused a
natural anxiety, as the steamer carries a
heavy passenger list, among whom are
several notables. The rumor it was
learned by careful inquiry was started
on Saturday last by query at the Lon
don postofice, which disseminates oth-
cial news, as to whether anything had
been heard of mishap to the Cedric.
While the officials replied that nothing
had been heard, the story had started
and gained magnitude as it progressed.

"Contnngo" and Back Are Terms Familiar to Brokers
 In British Security Market.

If 1t should happen-and it does ofter happen-that, instead of settling on set. ting day. both buyer and seller tor bull and bear) prefer to carry over their ac. counts, stock exchange custom has pro vided for such a contingency, writes E $, Valentine. in the Strand. The bull pays interest on the money he owes, ir the hope that the shares he has bought Will rise. This Is called "contango When the bear, instead of handing ovei the shares he has sold, pays a rate ir the hope that they will fall in price. this is called "backwardation. " These rates fiuctuate with the state of the market. It being the interest of each party to raise or lower prices. we thus have bull campaigns" and bear cam paigns" carried out with the object eact has at heart. But if. after waiting and resorting to all the devices t&ss the system knows of. even to "corherizg g. or

The rate of "contango' IS, as We may here explain, fixed on mak- Ing up or contango day. If there are more bulls" than bears" the rate ia high; if, on the other hand, there arc more takers than givers of the stock the continuation or "contango" rate is low.

Hs,e D-sfgns nave inc style anu Colos Effects of silk and satin
 Shades.

There Is something entirely new for the woman who has tact in her fingers and what average woman has not?- and delights in lamp and candle shades, reports the New York Times. They are made of tissue and crepe paper and
 no one need scoff, for they are not the 1 old-time flower effects, which are pretty, to be sure, but not as generally
 useful as might be. These newer shades
 are made on the lines of the silk and
 satin shades, have equally as good color
 effects. and do not entail the expense
 of those made of more elaborate ma
 terials.
 The lamp shades are made on the reg
 ular lamp shade frames to be found in
 different styles and sizes. There are the
 dome shades. the bell shades, and the
 fiat-sided Empire shades They are
 all made similarly, the different styles of paper producing different effects. The wires in the frames, which can be purchased with the supplies. are covered with plain tissue paper twisted over them, or with the colored, if desired that any part that is visible may have finished appearance. There are many fancy patterns in crepe paper, and these are used at will. These include the lowered papers showing flowers of diff ferent colors and shades, blue and white papers, which give Delft tones, and Persian papers, which work up ex- cellently into shades for libraries, or possibly for dining-rooms. For candle shades, as a rule, the more delicate col ors are used.
 The tissue paper in white is first put on the frame. and over this is stretched the lowered crepe paper. and the top and bottom and ribs of the shades are outlined with narrow strips of black or gold. hiding the places where the paper is joined and giving the effect of wrought iron or brass frames. The result is lamp shade that is inexpen- sive and exceedingly pretty.
 One of these shades, which is attrac- tive, is made of crepe paper which has a white foundation. with design of pale pink roses upon it. Another is in the blue, both of these outlined with the black paper. and brilliant dark red shade is finished with the gold passe- partout paper. Candle shades are sim ilarly made and shaped over butter or cheese dish top, and the candle shade holders can be bought to mount them on Pretty effects are obtained by us- ing a colored paper. instead of the white as the foundation or lining of the shade, and deep and varied color tones can be obtained.

 Cows of Hungarian breed, it must be noted are poor milkers. so much so that the milk supply of the country is to large extent, obtained from ami mals of foreign dairy breeds, mostly Swiss or German. Hungarian cattle must therefore be regarded as draught oxen pure and simple, and though Hungary is great horse breeding country, still oxen are used alone for draught, and reared for that purpose. as being more economical in cost of food as compared with the horse, and having the advantage that they can be fattened after use. The East Indies and Africa are regions in which it is probable that Hungarian cattle could be well utilized The points in favor of the breed are that they are reared under natural or semi-wild conditions. that their size, bulk and strength make them good draught oxen, that they thrive well on very poor fare. and that they can resist disease better than any other breeds. On the state farm or domain of Mezohegyes team of Hungarian oxen were found which stood over IT hands high, each animal weighed over one ton, and each car ried horns that were six feet from tip to tip. and this is often exceeded. Teams of oxen shod for road work measuring 16 hands in height are a frequent sight.

CATTLE IF HUNGARY
They Are of Peculiar White, Long,
 Horned Breed.
Are Found in Many Parts of Easterp Europe Where They Are Used for Draught Purposes of
 All Kinds.

The American traveller in south east ern Europe can hardly have failed to notice the various breeds of white long-horned cattle which prevail there. The two best known breeds are the Italian and the Hungarian. It is probably safe to say that Hungarian cattle are an indigenous race, for the great source of supply for white cat tie, even in Roman days, was the re- zion that Is represented to-day by Hungary as its center. This white breed is not confined to Hungary, for 1t is to be found in Roumania, Trans sylvania, Moldavia, Bessarabia. Cali cia, etc. The Podolian cattle are also white, and perhaps shorter in the legs and deeper in the body than the Hun garian cattle of the plains, while their horns are also shorter and much thicker.
 Hungarian cattle do all the draught work that is to be done; blowing is done with oxen, wagons are drawn by
