suNeLINe OF REGISTRATION.

1t developed yesterday that the
York county registration books are in
a badly bungled condition, and as the
result quite number of otherwise
properly qualified citizens were de-
prived Of their right to vote.
During the day no less than twenty
five would-be voters were turned
away from the Yorkville precinct
alone, and telephone messages told of
the same condition Of affairs in all
parts Of the county.
The fault was not with the voter;
but is evidently with the county board
of supervisors of registration. People
who had certificates that were in all
respects bona fide wer: told by the
managers that their names did not ap-
pear on the precinct books. At least
two voters had certificates that were
not numbered at all, and there were
no numbers on the books to CORES
pond with the certificates held by 9TH
ers.
In almost every case where the vo-
ter had been transferred from one
county or one precinct to another,
there was trouble. The number in the
registration book corresponding with
the number of the transferred voters

THE CARNIVAL.

The attendance at the Carnival last
night came fully up to expectations,
and the grounds were crowded for
several hours. From first to last there
must have been 500 or 1000 people
present.
Almost everybody went to see the
Great Bank Robbery and the Great
Train Robbery" and the Streets Of
Bombay" were also well patronized.
The Aztec Girls" drew large crowds,
the Eats 'em alive" attracted curl
Gus people. the Ferris wheel was turn
ing continuously, and all the various
games did good business.
Lots Of people got great amusement

that fairly dazed him. much to the de-
light Of the onlookers. The negro was
hit quite frequently but did not seem
to object as that was his part of the

NOVEMBER 9. 1904.

Is probable that he truly found the
district more genial than anything
that now exists there. The Iceland
ers came and made their settlement,
building churches and homesteads and
farms, whose. remains now lie, like
another buried Eden, below the ice and
snowfields. fother dreamers have
placed Eden ion the summit Of some
high mountain, so high as to escape
the waters Of the flood; so high as to
be beyond the sight Of man; when the
waves flowed over Ararat they simply
Tapped the foot Of this vast hill.
Yet, again, the site of the lost gar
den has been sought in India, at the
mouth of the Ganges; and some have
identified 1t with Ceylon. Wherever
we go, we can construct our Edens-
and can yet more easily lose them.
But IL we accept the Darwinian the
ory, we must shatter this old Eden
myth with 30 much that man has
treasured: our Golden Age may lie in
the future-it cannot lie in the past.
Which conception Is really more hope
full? One would like to nurse them
both; we would like our hope to be
also a memory.-Kansas City Inde-
pendent.

registration certificate was found op-
posite the name of some other voter,
and the name of the transferred voter
could not be found at all.
All the individuals affected by this
wholesale bungling are more or less
indignant, and the extent Of 1t has ar
reused so much unfavorable comment
as to call for further investigation.
The public will hardly be willing to
put up with such a situation as has
developed: but will no doubt insist
that the responsibility be fixed forth
with.
1t also developed during the day
that as the result of oversight, quite a
number Of precincts were without
Federal tickets, and consequently there
was no vote at these precincts for Fed
eral electors or congressman.

TIGERS BESIEGE A VILLAGE.

The Man Eaters, Four In Number,
Have Killed Several Of the Inhabi-
tants.
The police station at Katigora was
a few days ago the scene Of great ex-
citement and horror when the corpse
Of unfortunate Nidan Patni, who met
his lamentable death from the claws
Of tiger was carried there for in
spection.
Four persons were killed during the
course of a few weeks, besides a num-
ber Of persons mauled: while carrying
away Of cattle is going on almost
caused so great havoc here are now
proved to be four in number, one tt
ger, one tigress and two big cubs, and
our sympathetic deputy commissioner
is said to have offered a reward of Rs.
40 for the destruction Of each Of them.
The ferocious brutes, having taken
their abode by the side Of the only
important road leading from Katigo-
ra to the village of Gangapur, have
practically laid siege to the village,
with the result that communication on
foot has been stopped. Several at
tempts that have been made to afford
relief to the unfortunate village were
all unsuccessful.
A party Of local shikaries muster
ing strong and equipped with firearms
marched into the jungle at the head
Of our energetic NAB Tehsiidar Maui
vi Mohammed Israil to hunt the IT,
gers, but with all their efforts they
could not make the master stripes
come out Of their recess. The next
day, however, another party, consist
ing of four European gentlemen with
a large number of coolies, surrounded
the jungle and succeeded in arousing
the tigers, which managed to escape
through the line without giving the
hunters an opportunity Of discharging
bullets.
They pursued the animals and made
them swim across a beel. 1t Is a mat
ter of regret that the brave hunters
failed to hit the animals although
good number Of shots were fired. The
tigers got to the other side of the beel
without encountering further opposi-
ton and fell upon the said Nidan Patni,

MAJORITY.

Theodore Roosevelt Is to be the
next president Of the United States.
There has been a feeling all along that
this would be the result Of yester-
davis election, and what remaining
doubt there may have been on the
subject was dispelled before o'clock
last night. At 9 o'clock the Democrat
ic headquarters in New York conceded
that the Republicans had carried ev-
erything except the solid south. The
following received from the Charlotte
Observer this morning at 1904 o'clock,
tells the story:
Roosevelt has been elected by an
overwhelming majority. He has car
ried everything but the solid south
and the lnQlcatlOHS are liidI Ehai i
has gone for him also.
AT 8 o'clock last night Judge ark
er telegraphed President Roo eVeit
congratulating him on his ele tion,
and President Roosevelt replied: I
thank you for your congratulations

majority Of at least forty in the next
house Of representatives.

was, In many instances, less than the
vote received by Mr.. Bryan four years

BY Annexins Territory She Keeps
First Place Among Cities.

BY Annexing territory she Keeps
First Place Among Cities.
London is the only city in the world
with a larger population than New
York; and the ratio of increase in
population being greater here than in
London, If that were the only factor
to be considered, it would be ques-
ton Of time only when New York
would become the first city.
The city Of London proper, exclus-
sive Of suburbs, has population of
4,542,O00 and an area of 75,442 acres.
This was by the census Of 1901. BY
the census Of 1900. the population Of
New York was 3,437,OOO and the area
10000 acres,
New York, with the larger ratio OF
gain in population and the larger un-
occupied territory for expansion, had
the larger opportunity for increase in
to the position Of first city Of the
world. But recently the committee of
the London County Council, which has
been considering the advisability of
extending the boundaries Of London,
made favorable report.
When the council came into exist
ence, in 1889, the outlying suburbs
were small and unimportant now
they are populous communities and
entirely free from the supervision Of
municipal authority. Hornsey and
West Ham have become county bor-
oughs, but Tottenham, with popula-
ton of 10000; Walthamstow, with
95, 900 and Leyton, with $4,000, are not.
Outside of the immediate city OF
London is what Is known as the outer
ring, with an area Of 10000 acres;
and as territory included In this ring
is added to the city the population OF
London Is correspondingly increased.
So long as London continues to an
mex suburban territory to the city 1t
will remain at the head Of cities

RESULT TIN THE COUNTY.

Because of the lack Of interest in the
matter THE ENQUIRER did not see
proper to go to the trouble AMI ex-
pense necessary to secure a de called
statement Of yesterdays election IN
York county in time for presentation
this morning.
From such returns as have been re-
ceived it appears that notwithstand-
ing the proposed constitutional amend
ment questions pending before the peo-
pie the voting has been about the same
as four years ago, and that the total
will hardly reach 1900 out Of q reg
istration Of about 1900.
There being no contests for any OF
the state or county offices, such inter-
est as there was centered in the pro-
posed constitutional amendments. and
of these but few people cared anything
except for the one relating to biennial
sessions. The indications are that all
Of the proposed amendments have
prevailed.
cinct was 10 in the Federal box and
IT'S In the state and county boxes.
Mr.. Finley received all the votes cast
for congress except one vote cast for
White in the presidential electors box
and not counted. There were 165 votes
for Parker electors and five for Roose-
welt electors.
On the proposed amendment relating
to biennial sessions the vote was:
Yes, 76; no. 55. On the amendment
relating to municipal corporations the
vote was: Yes, Sc; no, %. On the
amendment relative to special legisla-
tion the vote was: Yes. 1OS; no, 90.
On repeating subdivision tx Of article
8, the vote was: Yes, 95; no, 25.
