New York. Nov. 3.-After a remark
able campaign In which there were un-
tied against him nearly all the news
papers and practically every minister
Of religion in the city, George B. Nc
Clellan. son of the civil war general,
was toay elected the third mayor Of
Greater New York over Seth Low,
fusionist. :he present mayor, by plu-
rality Of about 10000.
Edward NJ. Grout was elected con-
troller and Charles v. Fornes president
OF the board OF alderman. These two
men were originally on the fusion tick
ct and were endorsed by Tammany.
whereupon the fusionists eliminated
their names from the Low ballots and
nominated other candidates. 1t was
the nomination Of Grout and Fornes by
Tamrnany that caused Hugh McLaugh-
lin, the veteran leader of the Kings
county democrats, to bolt and declare
he would not support men who were not
democrats. In spite of the detection Of
Mclaughlin, Grout and Fornes carried
Kings county. The management of
their campaign there was taken over by
State Senator Patrick McCarren when
Mel .auRhlin refused To aid.
A surprising feature Of the election
was the vote for William S. Devery,
former commissioner of police, who ran
on an independent ticket. which has
bsen given practically no support.
This result shows the tremendous
change Of pubic sentiment since Mayor
Lows election two years ago. At that
time he carried aii the boroughs but
Queens.
When 1t became known that McClel-
Ian had carried the day, Mayor Low
sent him a message Of congratulation.
The mayor was asked for statement,
but declined to give out anything for
publication. Turning to the newspaper

CHAPTER II.-CoNTINUED.

Rossiter was more than surprised
at this spontaneous proposal. He
was not accustomed to gratitude,
and that he should inspire anyone
with enough confidence to suggest
such IN arrangement struck him
with something like amazement.
But the more he meditated upon the
suggestion the more tempting it was
to him. Three weeks and half had
yet to elapse before the first of Octo-
Der. If he should decide to return
and accept the offer made by his
brothers acquaintance, here was an
opening which would enable him to
go back with little money in his
pocket, doubtless more than he could
earn as hostler.
Its mighty good of you to men
ton such q thing" said he. "Are
you sure you really mean it?"
"Mean it," echoed the young man
-"well, l guess!"
"Then I'm with you'll" exclaimed
Rossiter, surprised the instant he had
decision.
"My names Joe Becraft," said the
young man. land this is my brother
jim"
mine is Philip Rossiter-Phil, if
you like" said the vagabond, and
then he was suddenly conscious that
he had given his full name for the
first time in three years. Ross he
had been accustomed to call himself
when there was any question of
identity.
"Is it good omen," he asked him
self, cor is it but the beginning of
another failure?"

THE SOLEMNITY OF SLEEP.
Filipinos Are Very Reluctant to
Awaken a Person Even when
Ordered to Do So.

"There is one thing about life in the
Philippines that lazy man finds agree
able, if he is not in the army said a
retired soldier, to New York Times
man, land that is the way in which he
is allowed to sleep at all times and in all
places undisturbed. The Tired Tins of
the great race of tramps would find the
islands a Paradise in this respect
"One of the rudest acts in the eStima-
ton of the native is to step over sleep
ing person, or in any way interfere with
his repose. Sleeping, with them, is a
very important matter, and is invested
with solemnity, almost. They are
strongly averse to waking a sleeper, as
they hold the idea that during sleep the
soul is absent from the body, and if they
suddenly call you from sleep the soul
may not have time to return to it's tene-
ment, the body. There sCe blood-crud-
ling legends of men who have revenged
themselves upon their enemies by thus
exiting their souls.
eff you would call upon native and
you are told that he is asleep, you may
as well so about your other business,
for you will not get to him until. at his
own good time, he awakens.
when you so to sleep, in order to get
a servant to arouse you at a certain
time, you must give him the strictest
orders to that effect befor, you turn in.
Then, if he obeys you at all, he will
stand by your side and whisper: Senior!
Senor!' repeating the word little
awake, when he will go back to the low
note, and again gradually raise his voice
until you are fully conscious. 1t is an
ideal way in which to be called from
sleep, if you are in no hurry, and man
should never be in hurry in the Philip
pines; the climate is not adapted to &C
tivity. But it surely is great place to
Sleep"

aey at Glen View. He was the runner
up in the western event in 1899, being
defeated by D. r. Forgan in the final
round, 6 up and to play. In 1902 he
was again runner up. and was defeated
In the final round by his cousin Chandler
by up in an extra hole match. This
year Chandler again defeated him in the
final round for the Exmoor cup, and at
the Onwentsia open tournament he was
put out in the final match by Roswell
Mundy, of Riverside, for the Ravinoaks
cup. He again worked his way into the
dnal round for the western champion
ship. but as he had been defeated by
Chandler so many times few thought he
would win, but he managed to reverse
the history of last year and win in an
extra hole contest.
DR.. j. Lee Richmond, Of Toledo, o..
made good showing in the tournament.
DR.. Richmond became famous in a day
some 25 years ago by pitching the old
Chicago white stockings out without
run, hit, or reach first base" in an ex-
hibitfon game with the Worcester
(Mass.) team. Richmond was a Brown
university student at the time and had
been called up from Providence by tele-
gram to pitch the game. One result Of
Rfchmond's showing was that Worces-
ter entered the National league the en-
suing season, but there Richmond met
with only Indifferent success and soon
retired from baseball He tried it again
In 1887 with one of the old American
association teams, but did not achieve
success. Richmond is now successful
physician.

FREED FOR MESS OF OYSTERS
How a Russian Serf Obtained His
Freedom Although He Could
Not Buy 1t.

M. Schalouchine, father of the
well-known Russian bankers, was
formerly a serf of Count Schmere-
metieff. He had become immensely
wealthy through trafficlling in grain
and sheep, yet he could not obtain
his freedom, though he offered to
pay the count $25O,OoO for it, says the
Toronto Globe.
One day he went to ST. Petersburg
on business, and took with him a
small barrel of oysters as present
for his master. When he arrived at
the hotel he found the count in a
very bad humor, because he had or
dered oysters for his breakfast and
a servant had just Informed him that
there were none in the market.
''Oh, it's you'll" cried the count,
when he saw his serf, who was also
millionaire; land 1 suppose you've
come for your freedom. Well, it's
no use; for I've got all the money
want, and so you cannot buy it at
any price I'll make this bargain,
however, with you; get me some oys-
tiers for my breakfast and I'll set you
free"
Gentlemen, you have heard the
counts Words said NJ. Schalouchine,
turning to a few guests who had
been invited to breakfast, land, con-
sequently you can act as witnesses,
if necessary"
Then, thanking his master, he
stepped into the ante-room and re-
turned a minute later with n barrel
of oysters. The count kept his word,
and in the presence of his guests,
signed the papers setting his serf
free; after which he turned to him
and said, courteously: my dear sir,
L have just conferred favor on you,
and now I request you to return the
compliment by breakfasting with my
friends and me-"
