ESTELLE is COUNTING THEM
District Court Judge, HonOrs Ballots
fs Thrown Outodby County
Magistrate.

In district court yesterday Judge Estelle
ruled in the Lobeck- Mcdonald contest for
the Fifth district commissionership that
under McDonald's ~pleadlngs the incumbent
could object to only such ballots as are
found improperly marked by the elector
or defaced by a mark Of Identification. This
ruling mad after arguments prevents Nc
Donald from taking advantage of that pro-
vision Of law which stipulates that every
ballot must be signed by two judges Of
election. On this technicality so many bal
lots were thrown out by County Judge
Vinsonhaler in the count before him that
Lobeck's supposed plurality Of eleven was
wiped out. Judge Estelle's decision has
the same effect as a reversal Of the ruling
Of the lower tribunal. though 1t is really
only the result Of an omission in the in
cumbent's p~leadings.
Judge Estelle is throwing out some that
Judge V~insonhaler did not, however, and
neither side now presumes TO ~foretell the
result OF the count with certainty. The
counting probably will be completed this
forenoon. When II ceased last night Nc
Donald had 1915 votes allowed him and
Lobeck 2.007. There yet remain to be
counted the First Of the Sixth, in which the
county court gave Mcdonald 124 and Lo-
beck 1874; the Eighth Of the Sixth, In
which the same court gave Mcdonald 1872
and Lobeck IA; the Tenth OF the Sixth.
in which the canvassing board gave Nc
Donald 1873 and Lobeck IS; the Fourth Of
the Ninth, in which the same board gave
Mcdonald 80 and Lobeck 1913, and the Sixth
OF the Ninth, In which the county court
gave Mcdonald 1873 and LObeck 113. The
Tenth of the Sixth and Fourth of the
Ninth are the voting precincts In which
Judge Vinsonhaler threw out so many bal
lots signed only by one judge and a
clerk. instead Of two judges, The Sew
enth Of the Sixth was another so affected,
but 1t was counted yesterday after the
courts decision. Judge Estelle allowed, In
1t, 46 to Mcdonald and 70 to Lobeck. The
county court had thrown out all except
three ballots and Of these allowed one to
Lobeck and two to Mcdonald. The can
vassing boards figures for the same pre-
c'nct we're 4S for Mcdonald and 70 for
Lobeck.

MAY MAKE NEW SCHEDULE
Too Much Railroad Mileage az Pres
eut to Suit Base Ball
Men.

DENVER, Colo. March 31.-A meeting
OF the magnates of the Western Base Ball
league will be held in this city tomorrow
for the purpose OF passing on the schedule
for the year.
1t was found that the schedule as drawn
would give a greater railroad mileage than
the magnates liked. Accordingly, Mr..
Sexton has drawn three more schedules
which he wishes to submit to the mag
mates. The last he has made up has cut
the mileage greatly. but 1t gives a larger
number of conflicting dates at Kansas City
and Milwaukee. 1t will also give certain
teams a series of seven g, mes each at one
or two towns during the summer.
Rather than take the liberty OF drafting
the schedule. when there was likely to be
decided objection on the part Of some of
the magnates, he thought the better way
would be to have all the magnates present
when the schedules were read.

Babies cry very little in India-they

1t feels the religious awe around it and
does not break out into boisterous
sport when all seem at prayer
But there is much love in India and
these humble households seem very
happy. They are all in all to each 9TH

society or amusement Beautiful char
acter comes from obedience to law and
not from lawlessness. In India chill

The Exc1usixeness of Caste.

An English officer who some years
ago was wounded in battle in India
and left lying all night among the ma
tive dead and wounded tells this story:
"Next morning we spied man and
an old woman, who came to us with
basket and pot Of water, and to
every wounded man she gave piece
of joaree bread from the basket and
drink from her water pot. To us she
gave the same, and 1 thanked heaven
and her. But the Soobahdar was
high caste Rajpoot, and, as this woman
was Chumar or of the lowest caste,
he would receive neither water nor
bread from her. 1 tried to persuade
him to take, it that he might live, but
le said that in our state, with but
few hours more to linger, what was a
little more or less suffering to us-whv
should he give up his fate for such an
object? No; lie preferred to die IN

about rat in the Journal DIES Debats
A gardener planted one afternoon $50
tulip bulbs on terrace, and next

origin OF the Term ph,,is.s,e.

About the year 1000. at Jena, where
the west gate of the city is remark
able for four images of monkey heads,
cut In stone at each corner Of the gate
a quarrel arose between the students
of the university and the citizens, dur
Ing which the gownsmen called the
gate watchmen monkey watrnmen."
To avenGe this insult the watchmen
killed one of the students, whose flu
neral sermon was preached from tue
text, 'sThe philistines be upon thee,
Samson" From that time the towns
people Were called by the students
"Philistines," and this use Of the word
spread to other places.
In another explanation. given as
early as 1777 by Adelung. reference is
made to the Ralistarii, or crossbow-
men, who were called in Hungary
Philistaei, and to the municipal sol
diers of Vienna, who had the nickname
Philisters us early as the seventeenth
century.
The word was brought into promi-
nent notice in England by Matthew
Arnold. who appears to have adopted it
from Heine. BY Philistine he meant
"a strong, logged, unenlightened OPP
ponent, like Goliath, of the chosen peo-
pie, of the children of sweetness and
light.
