general pleasant conversation.
"Since Mr.. Nations separation from

Mrs. Riddle, and her good husband.
His career, as has been heretofore

but he bas again recovered his usual
vigor and his many friends will wish
him many more enjoyable birthdays on

Columbus, and several other relatives
were also prevented from being pres

The Congressional vsse.

After so long t;me the Secretary of
State finally got the congressional re-
turns in shape to make them public
last week. There is total vote in the
district of about 5000. The total vote
at the congressional election was 80, 5OI.
The socialist vote fell considerably
short of what it was at first estimated.
but it is still . large gain over last
falls vote. The populist vote is a little
greater than election reports had it.
and the Democratic vote is about 200
more than supposed. while the repub
lican vote is about 1000 short Of what
was believed to be Murdock's majority
and what was conceded to him before
the election.
From the most accurate figures OBJ
tainable. 1t appears that at least so
per cent of the stay. at home votes were
Democrats and POpulists while about
twenty percent were republicans who

methods employed by The machine who

clans or rebuke from the management
Yesterday one Of the meek offenders
was removed by death and the other
sat beside the body and wept through
the night. They were sisters, old and
broken, but they had chung to each
other all through life to the first and
final parting.
One had been sent there to be treated
for broken leg; the other for a stroke
of apOplexy, brought on by her vigils
at the bedside and q sad experience
with the police. The sisters had con-
scented to enter the hospital only on
the promise that they would not be
separated, and though it was against
the rules to put two such cases to-
gether, the physicians did not COM
plain.
Mary and Hannah Nugent lived in
little room in No. COZ East Sixteenth
street. They never had been married,
and all their relatives and, it seemed,
friends, were dead. But they had each
other, and that was all they cared for.
Somehow they managed to get along

A month ago Mary had a severe fall

What with fear for her sister and dis
tress at her own condition, her talk
more than ever resembled the wander
ings of senility, and the magistrate
had about decided to send her to some
institution for the old and helpless
when the matron interfered. She said
she believed the old Woman's story Of
a sick sister at home and begged the
magistrate to permit her to go. This
was done.
Hannah went to their poor little
room and began to tell the invalid of
her arrest, when suddenly she sank
Imply to the floor. Neighbors sent for

by side. The surgeon, Dr. Vose, kept
his word, and when he told in the
hospital his reasons for making such

only one word she uttered that could
be understood. 1t was Mary"

Leopold stopped her former allowance Of

LEARNING TO MAKE SHIRT
WAISTS.

It is probable that a class in shirt
waist making will be started at the
Young Women's Friendly association
rooms. This fall an effort was made to
organize a class in fine sewing but as
the young women who frequent the as
sociatiOn rooms are busy throughout
the day they could not give to the work
the time demanded.
At the annual meeting Of the board
OF managers, which was held yester-
day in the association rooms, Mrs. John
n. Jackson, the president, suggested
the formation Of a class in shirt waist
making and her suggestion was favor
ably received, though no action was
taken. Mrs. Jackson presided at the
meeting.
Mr.. Lichtenberger, the manager, re-
ported that $3.50 lodgings had been
provided, and 249,625 lunches served.
The expenses of the lunch rooms were
$10,91730, counting both the service
and the food. The receipts were SILL
481.4S for lunches and $1,324.25 for
board and lodging. The expenditures
also included large rental for the
rooms, as we'll as other expenses. The
receipts have fallen short of the list of
expenses, but the deficit is made up by
private donations. Besides the presi-
dent, Mrs. Jackson, the other officers
reelected yesterday were:
First vice president, Mrs. J. M. Lfch-
tenberger; second vice president, Mrs.
J. w. Edgerton; honorary vice presi-
dent, Mrs. E. H. Mann; corresponding
secretary, Miss Emily Robbins; treas
urer, Mrs. E. S. Robbins; assistant
