HOW NEW JERSEY VOTED.
Republicans Hold Control of Both
 Houses of the Legislature.

Republicans Hold Control of Both
 Houses of the Legislature.
 Trenton, N. J., Nov. 1.-The Republic ans in New Jersey elected four of the six state senators and enough of the assembly to control both houses. The principal contests were in Cape May, Gloucester, Middlesex, Monmouth, Pas saic, Somerset and Union counties. The entire Democratic assembly ticket was elected in Union county, which is a de feat for United States Senator Kean. The Republican nominees who were fa- vorable to his return to the senate were openly opposed at the polls by the anti Kean faction in that county, with the result that the Democratic candidates have about 500 majority.
 Assemblyman Crosse (Rep) was elect ed to the senate from Cape May. He was nominated as an anti-Kean man over Senator Hand, Kean supporter, who desired a renomination.
 In Gloucester county Assemblyman Avis Rep) was elected by about 500 majority.
 Tn Middlesex county the Republicans elected Assemblyman Jackson to the senate over Mayor Viehman of New Brunswick, Senator Mckee Rep.) was reelected in Passaic, and Speaker Hor- ner (Rep.) goes to the senate from Bur- lington by more than 2,OO0 majority.
 The next senate will stand IA Repub- licans to Democrats.
 Assemblyman Swackhammer Dem.) of Somerset was reelected by 500 ma jority. The Republicans elected four of the five assemblymen from Passaic.
 The returns from Monmouth and Middlesex counties are indefinite, but they will not change the complexion of the next house. in which at least thirty three of the sixty members will be Re publicans.
 The important elections in the state outside of the legislative contests were the mayoralty fights in Jersey City and Trenton. Mayor Fagen Rep) was re- elected in Jersey City by 1000 major ity. Tn Trenton Mayor Katzenbach Dem0 was reelected by 475 majority

A PENNY NOTE.
Bank of England Once Issued Paper
of That Denomination.

When the Bank of England COM
menced business in 1894, with a staff of
tifty-four clerks, all of whom worked
in a single room and the directrs with
them, no one imagined that it would
develop into the great national institu-
ton it is today. And its career. extend
ing over two centuries has brought 1t
in touch with a wealth of romance, relics
of which may be found in that depart
ment of the bank with which the pub
lie is least familiar-namely, its mu-
scum.
How many people know that the bank
once issued a note for a penny ?-al-
though it should be explained that this
was entirely due to an error. But the
penny note went into circulation all
the same. and only by offering reward
of E5 was the bank able to get 1t back
again before it passed into the hands
of the curio collectors. This note is still
preserved in one of the albums. and in
another are some of the curious notes
which saved the bank in 1745- In that
year a great run on the funds took
place-sO great. in fact, that it. was
thought that the bank would be I'M
able to met it: but the directors in the
nick of time sent a number of their
clerks into the crowd to present notes
which were paid in sixpences, thus Civ
ing the officials time to prepare for the
demand for specie
Another curiosity is n note for e1,000.-
900, which is the only one of that value
ever printed. While there Is also a note
which was in circulation for nearly 100
years before it was presented.
Specimens of all the forged notes
which have been uttered from time to
time by the INSCRIPTIONS are kept, and
their value aggregates several million
pounds. while notes brought from the
wreck of the Eurydice and one taken
from the stomach of an enormous cod
fish captured off the coast of Greenland
are among the banks most valued
treasures.
There are hundreds of specimens of
curious coins which have been returned
to the bank from all parts of the world.
or found in the testing machine. This
machine, by the way, tests $4,000 Sow
ereigns a day, and automatically rejects
any which have become light
The museum library contains all the
old ledgers which have been used by
the bank since it was first opened. and
they number 10000 while another set
of volumes Gives a record of every
member of the staff who has ever
served at the bank. There are also 20
600 volumes of all kinds for the use
of the STAFF. some of which are 50 rare

would not purchase the collection.

adjoining. and here many of the Off
Gals have in former times been buried.

The Relief of a chanra-

Certain folks who are more serious
than well balanced have been saving
recently that the breaking up of fam
lies which occurs annually in vacation
time in so many instances is bound to
result in very corrupt state OF So
ciety; since their argument is that only
by keeping family ties taut can they
be kent whole. But happily more sem
sible opinions are IN the majority and
they have It that in the best regulated
and most devoted families there are
little UNDERSTANDINGS which occur
daily and are unavoidable just because
all the members of the household are
human
Every one recognizes in the others
certain characteristics that must be
humOred, and corrected. or Just en-
dured, and goes on with the cheerful
determination not to be fretted unduly
by them. After a time. however. this
determination, no matter how blithely
it IS assumed daily at the breakfast
table, wears a bit on the nerves. it
would be impossible for it not to do
so, and a relief from being obliged to
